Chapter 67 Missing

Perhaps because the young lady of the mansion had gone missing, the entire county government was in a state of panic and was unusually quiet.

Mrs. Bai seemed afraid that the scene would bring back sad memories, so she asked her maid Liu'er to lead the way for them.

"Please follow me, guests." Jin Liu bowed slightly. Her voice was a little hoarse, and her face showed no expression.

For some reason, no one spoke along the way and the atmosphere became weird for no reason. In this silent environment, the sound of footsteps gradually became amplified.

Qiu Muli walked at the end. She was just an orphan who was fortunately rescued by the young hero of Taibai Sword Sect. She was of no help to the case, but no one raised any objection to her following the two young heroes. They just tacitly allowed her to do what she wanted.

Generally, when wealthy families select maids, they will first consider their appearance. However, the maid in front of them, Jin Liu, who can serve Mrs. Bai, is not good-looking. If we look at her from other aspects, her silence along the way also shows that she is not a lively and smooth person, and her lifeless eyes can be said to be lifeless. If we have to praise her, we can only say that she looks like an honest person who doesn't talk too much.

Before they could think about it, Jin Liu stopped walking. Not far away was Miss Song's residence. Ji Xianyi looked at the yard in front of him. It seemed that the owner was no longer there. The yard was a little lonely. However, whether it was the route he had just passed or the location of the yard, this residence was a bit remote. Thinking of this, Ji Xianyi opened his mouth and asked.

"The young lady likes quietness and she chose the residence herself," Jin Liu replied.

Ji Xianyi nodded slightly, "I see. Thank you Miss Jin Liu for leading the way, but we still need to go into Miss Song's room to investigate."

"Madam has said before that you can check it out at will, but you just need to be careful."

After Jin Liu finished speaking, Ji Xian and the others no longer cared about them. However, after they entered the room, Jin Liu did not move at all, as if he had no intention of entering.

As soon as she entered the room, a tall bookshelf on one side caught her eye, and Li Qingruo immediately went forward to look through it.

"oh!"

Soon her cry of surprise attracted the attention of the two. After Ji Xianyi and Qiu Muli looked over, she smiled a little embarrassedly and then said, "It seems that Miss Song has a wide range of hobbies, including poetry collections, scriptures, and some miscellaneous books."

She had just been flipping through a book about ghost stories and the illustrations were so vivid that she cried out in surprise.

Ji Xianyi rubbed the table lightly with his fingertips. The dust on his fingers meant that the room had not been cleaned recently. The wooden box next to it was open, and inside was a hairpin inlaid with a Hetian jade plum blossom pattern. Looking around the room, everything in the room looked valuable, which showed that Miss Song was very much loved at home. At the same time, the culprit who caused Miss Song to disappear was not short of money. After all, the jewelry casually placed on the table looked very valuable.

A green snake crawled out from Qiu Muli's sleeve, spitting out its tongue as it crawled. After crawling around the room for a while, it actually crawled out of the window.

"Ali, it!"

The green snake was moving too fast, and Li Qingruo had no time to stop it. She pointed in the direction the green snake was leaving and looked at Qiu Muli.

"It's okay. It's been sleeping for so long, it's time to stretch its muscles."

Hearing Qiu Muli say this, Li Qingruo felt relieved.

After checking around, they didn't find any useful clues, but they didn't lose heart. Any crime would leave traces, and they just needed to find the key to solve the mystery.

After they left the room, the person standing outside was not Jin Liu, but a girl who was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. When she saw Ji Xian and the others coming out, she immediately came over to greet them: "Sister Jin Liu was called back by the Madam. Before she left, she specifically asked me to take the guests to the guest rooms."

Ji Xian nodded, a smile appeared on his face. The coldness he had originally worn due to martial arts training faded away, and he became much softer. "Excuse me, young lady. I don't know how to address you, young lady?"

Li Qingruo, who once relied on his face to please Ji Xianyi, who had a lot of dark history in his childhood, smiled so well that the girl in front of him seemed to blink shyly for a moment.

"Just call me Xue'er."

Compared to Miss Jin Liu, Miss Xue'er really meets the criteria of a maid. She has a pretty face, a pair of bright eyes, a bit of baby fat on her face, and seems to be much more lively.

Li Qingruo watched from behind as her senior brother used his sexuality to trick people into revealing secrets, and she and Qiu Muli beside him started to watch the show together. However, she began to look unfriendly when she remembered that she was also deceived by the other party when she was a child, leaving behind many dark histories.

Looks like a dog! Li Qingruo complained silently in her heart, and Ji Xianyi suddenly turned around and looked at Li Qingruo as if he could read her mind.

Li Qingruo immediately blinked her eyes, looking as if nothing had happened.

Xue'er didn't notice the little actions of the few people. Under Ji Xianyi's deliberate guidance, she quickly told many things about the mansion.

"You've never met Miss Song?" Ji Xianyi was a little surprised, but still asked patiently.

Xue'er's face changed, as if she realized that she had said too much, and she said vaguely: "The young lady likes quietness and doesn't like to walk around on weekdays. I have only seen her from a distance."

When Ji Xianyi wanted to ask more questions, Xue'er had already taken them to the guest room. She seemed not to want to say anything more and left in a hurry.

After Xue'er left, Ji Xianyi met two pairs of thoughtful eyes. Li Qingru stood on tiptoe, patted Ji Xianyi on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, keep up the good work!" Then she ran into the room with a smile.

Compared to Li Qingruo's teasing eyes, Qiu Muli's expression on the side made Ji Xian feel a little uneasy. The other party looked him up and down as if he had a new inspiration, and then walked into the next room with an expression as if he was ready to trick him at any time.

After putting their luggage away, the three of them walked out of the room to meet up tacitly. It was still early, and they planned to find out about the missing woman.

Li Qingruo frowned unconsciously along the way. She always felt that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xian said, "This case is not simple. No one can be trusted until the truth is revealed."

Li Qingruo was about to nod when she heard Qiu Muli say, "Bronze mirror."

"Ah?!" Li Qingruo didn't understand what Qiu Muli meant at first, but she quickly realized, "I said something was wrong. There is no bronze mirror in Miss Song's room."

It was obviously unreasonable for a woman's bedroom to not have a bronze mirror. The three of them looked at each other and each had their own thoughts.
