Hui Mo held the reins and drove the carriage, taking Ning Shu slowly away from the gate of Marquess's Mansion.
"Lady Ning, this case is complicated. Where should we start? Imperial Mausoleum? Princess Royal's Mansion? Or the Xiangqishan Mountain where the first demon appeared? Or the place where the children went missing? "
Although he had cooperated with Ning Shu to deal with several major cases before, no matter from the degree of trouble or the scope of the cases involved, those cases were far less than the current one. It gave him a headache as long as he thought about it.
Ning Shu was flipping through the pile of case files that Tianwen had collected early in the morning. Her voice was like a sea-stabilizing needle, suddenly stabilizing the complicated and chaotic situation in front of her, "The more complicated the case is, the more you need to know how to peel the silk from the cocoon. If you have a plan in mind, you won't panic and be confused by the chaos in front of you."
This string of cases appeared to be many and complicated, like many many camouflage methods tangled together, with the addition of ghosts, gods, and heresy, making people unable to find the direction. But after careful analysis, there were only two cases: the sudden death of Princess Helui on the street, and the disappearance of three children in the east, south, and north of the city. Princess Helui had been dead for many days. The dead could not be resurrected. The clues that should be left would not run away, and the clues that should not be left would not be left, so they could be put aside for the time being. The children's disappearance was the most important case at present. At present, there were cases in the east, south and north of the city, only the one in the west of the city was left. According to the time line of the murderer's crime, the first few cases were all three days apart. Only the fourth case had not happened today, which was the fifth day. There were two possibilities.
First, in fact, it had already happened, but the family was careless and did not find it, so they did not have time to report.
Second, the murderer had other plans. Maybe there was an accident, or deliberately waiting for her, waiting for her to "take the bait".
Anyway, those children who were not sure whether they were alive or dead still had a glimmer of hope. If it was delayed, the consequences could only be regretted. After making a decision, Ning Shu opened her mouth and said, "Go to the east of the city, where the first child disappeared."
After she finished speaking, she noticed that the carriage seemed to slow down. Hui Mo, who was chattering outside the carriage, was silent for a while. She opened the curtain in surprise and gently tilted her head to look at him: "?"
"Your tone just now made me think …" Hui Mo wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. However, when he met her pure and clear eyes, he changed his mind. "It's nothing. I went the wrong way. Go to the east of the city. The path just now is faster. Go!"
He must be overthinking things. How could Lady Ning have recovered her memory? She was so smart and had so many twists and turns in her heart. How could she look at others with such a naive gaze? Although she had lost her memory, she was still herself, so it was normal for her to speak like that. Moreover, if she had regained her memories, how could she not ask his Young Master immediately? He was thinking too much. Hahahaha.
His driving skills were completely different from Hui Mo's. Soon, he smoothly stopped the carriage in front of the door of the first family where the child disappeared.
It was a very ordinary family. They lived in a place called Denglong Alley. Most of the people living in this alley were craftsmen who made lanterns and oiled paper. From the mottled walls of each family, one could see the poverty of this area. Only the colorful lanterns hanging in front of each family's door barely embellished some vitality.
But this little vitality was also destroyed by a woman with disheveled hair and dirty face who was sitting at the entrance of the alley and crying. This woman had cried for many days. Her eyes were swollen and her body was dirty. She kept slapping her own mouth: "Dong Bao, my Dong Bao, why haven't you come back … You are my flesh and blood. How can I live without you … It's my fault that I didn't take care of you. I knew it was a mess outside, but how could I be so careless and not take care of you … It's my fault! I am guilty! Come back and let me suffer for you. Let me die for you! "
