Her intuition told her that something really serious had happened to these two.
Since the clinic opened, the two of them have never rested, arriving early and working until late at night. Sometimes they're so tired that they simply stay at the clinic for a few hours, only to be busy again the next day. Today, they haven't shown up at all! Strange!
Qiu Zeyu escorted the person home last night, and the incident happened this morning. He hurriedly explained, "I stayed up until almost dawn last night! The person is safe and sound at home."
As Lan Yamei walked quickly, she began to deduce, "How did you know we were arrested yesterday?"
Hearing this, she actually doubted herself! But she still explained earnestly, "I thought it was almost dawn, and the most dangerous moment had passed. Besides, I was worried about you, so I came back a tiny bit early."
"Then you went straight back to the shop and couldn't find us anywhere. So how did you find out we were in her hands?" Lan Yamei said for him, still walking as fast as the wind.
"I considered that everyone had been living peacefully in Longyang Town for so long. But ever since Nan Fangnan came, strange things have been happening one after another, so I guessed that he must have captured you. I went to look for you on a whim, and coincidentally, I found you in the dungeon," Qiu Zeyu explained simply.
"Alright! Considering you did it for all of us, we won't blame you." Lan Yamei really wished she could fly and hurry to Ouyang's ancestral home to see what had happened.
Qiu Zeyu seemed to hear her thoughts. He grabbed her waist, leaped up, and used the wall to lightly tap his feet to fly to the roof. He paused briefly on the roof and then sped towards the Ouyang family home as if walking on flat ground.
As the two landed at the door, Lan Yamei hurriedly knocked, but there was no response. This only fueled her fear; had they already been murdered?!
Without daring to think further, Qiu Zeyu and Lan Yamei leaped over the wall and landed steadily in the courtyard. The gate was bolted from the inside, indicating that the two had not left.
Lan Yamei was terrified. She was afraid that Aunt Guan would die violently in her home, and her steps became hesitant.
Qiu Zeyu glanced around and ran into the main room first. There were no signs of a struggle, no bloodstains, so it seemed the person was alright. He searched every corner again, but still found no bloodstains.
Turning to leave, she saw Lan Yamei preparing to enter and said, "No need to look anymore, neither of them are here. Don't worry, they're definitely alright, they were probably just kidnapped!"
Hearing that the person was still alive, Lan Yamei breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as the person is still alive, everything is fine."
"But who would kidnap two doctors?" Qiu Zeyu was a little confused.
People in the underworld kidnap for money, sex, or revenge!
What money could two doctors possibly have? The most valuable thing they have is this house!
If we're going to be precise, it's the box of jewelry given by the Murong family, but it's already been converted into cash and used for hospital expenses.
When the clinic first opened, it was in a rush to open and was practically an empty shell. It only sold a few of the cheapest herbs, essentially just selling the prescriptions; patients would take their prescriptions to the pharmacy to fill them. Later, as they earned a little more, they gradually built a large herb warehouse, huge Chinese medicine cabinets, and fully equipped treatment and rest rooms. So, the two of them were completely broke! Absolutely no money.
Even if outsiders didn't know, if the intention was simply to rob someone, they should have left a ransom note when they took the person away! No! Therefore, the possibility of robbery is unlikely.
Abducting women is even less likely! Who would lust after an old man or woman for so long? Isn't that perverted?
That leaves only one possibility: a revenge killing!
It's highly likely a revenge killing! Because Grandpa Ouyang's brother was murdered in his own pawnshop without any explanation! He didn't lose any money, only his life.
Thinking of this, Lan Yamei said mysteriously to Qiu Zeyu, "Do you think the ancestors of Uncle Ouyang's family offended someone? Or did they offend someone in this generation? And then that person came for revenge! Last time they killed his brother, and this time they're killing him? They won't stop until they've wiped out the entire Ouyang family?"
Qiu Zeyu's lips twitched. "How is that possible! If we really wanted to get names, why bother with all this trouble! This is definitely not the same person!"
Lan Ya Mei rolled her eyes at him. How dare he question a highly intelligent being from the early 22nd century! So she started analyzing, "I remember his brother didn't lose any valuables when he was killed! Grandpa Ouyang didn't lose any valuables either! So, it's the same person!"
"I think it has something to do with Hua Yuhe! She's the only one who hates Aunt Guan and has the power to kidnap people!" Qiu Zeyu thought it was because of Aunt Guan that Uncle Ouyang got into trouble.
"Hiss..." Lan Yamei gasped, "But it's been so many years, and you still hold a grudge?"
"Don't forget, since we opened the shop, we've had a series of setbacks, and Hua Manlou's influence has undoubtedly played a part in them." Qiu Zeyu trusted his intuition. Although he also suspected Nanfang Nan, there was no reason for Nanfang Nan to do this. To curry favor with Hua Yuhe? Impossible! A mere pawn like that, not worth the trouble.
"I remember now!" Lan Yamei didn't listen at all; she was lost in her own deductions. "I sold a Murong jade pendant to Ouyang's brother, and later he was found stabbed to death in his home. Do you think this matter could be related to the jade pendant?"
Qiu Zeyu's lips twitched in surprise, and he said dismissively, "Definitely not the same person!"
"What do we do now?" Lan Yamei was completely at a loss as to which direction to take.
"Wait for me at home, I'm going out for a bit." Qiu Zeyu still suspected Hua Yuhe and decided to go and sound her out.
"I'll go with you!"
"You're home!" With that, he leaped over the wall and disappeared from sight.
Helpless, Lan Yamei could only search for clues in Murong Zu's mansion by following the methods of police investigation in her mind.
After working for an hour, I still got nothing.
Unwilling to accept his fate, he simply opened the door and began visiting the surrounding residents.
