Chu Heyi met the other party.

She saw that the man was about thirty years old, dressed in blue, and very thin, so thin that his eyes were slightly sunken, but his eyes were bright.

The moment the man met her gaze, he was stunned for a moment and quickly turned away in another direction.

Chu Heyi: “…”

She just thought that the man was here to assassinate her, but he actually ran away somewhere else.

She called Baihua over and told her what she had just seen, "Go after him and see if you can catch up with him and confirm his identity."

Baihua immediately responded: "I'll go right away."

After Baihua left, Chu Heyi paid special attention to the movements of that family, but there was no movement, as if no one had ever climbed over the backyard of that family.

The man looked very thin. Perhaps he was very hungry and went to steal food.

Not long after Chu Heyi returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Baihua came back, "Miss, I didn't catch up with him. I don't know where he ran off to."

Chu Heyi had a very strange feeling about that person. She felt a little regretful that Baihua didn't catch up, but she didn't say much. She washed, changed her clothes and went to bed.

Because the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was not far from that family, Chu Heyi heard at noon the next day that someone had died in that family the night before.

She thought of the extremely thin man again, wondering if he had killed someone and was on the run? Did the owner of the house only find out that someone had died in the morning, but couldn't catch the murderer?

Chu Heyi went to Gufeng Road to visit Song Ju and his sister.

The house she bought for Song Ju and his sister was deep in Gufeng Road, and on the way there, one had to pass by many houses.

When passing a corner, Chu Heyi saw the familiar figure from last night again. She immediately stepped back, pulled Baihua to hide at the corner, and observed the man.

The man came out from the back door of someone else's house, still looking sneaky. After he came out, he looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to him before he quickly left in another direction.

Chu Heyi lowered his voice and said, "Baihua, he is the person I told you about last night. Follow him and don't let him get away. Also, don't alert the enemy. Find out where he lives and whether there is anyone at home first."

This person is very likely the murderer. If we alert him, he may have already run away before we catch him.

Baihua nodded in agreement and followed quietly.

Not far away was the residence of Song Ju's brother and sister. When Chu Heyi went there, he happened to meet Doctor Yan and asked him about the condition of Song Wuxi's eyes.

Doctor Yan sighed and was very distressed: "I always feel that there is a medicine missing, but I don't know which one it is."

Chu Heyi asked him, "How is Miss Wuxi's condition?"

When this was mentioned, Doctor Yan frowned even more. "At first, Miss Song was very cooperative and full of hope. It was all my fault that my medical skills were not good enough, which caused her hopes to be dashed again and again. Now she... doesn't say a word for several days."

Chu Heyi is a person who has experienced despair.

She could understand Song Wuxi's despair after his hopes were dashed several times.

But she was helpless.

Doctor Yan's reputation is already very high in Shengjing City.

He was powerless, and the other doctors didn't even dare to think about it.

Doctor Yan suddenly said, "If we can invite Doctor Gansui to come, I think we can have some success. Unfortunately, Doctor Gansui is a mysterious dragon that is hard to find. If we want to invite him, it all depends on luck."

Chu Heyi: "Thank you, Doctor Yan. You can go back and rest first. The treatment will be done slowly. There is no rush. I will go and accompany Miss Wuxi."

After Doctor Yan left, Chu Heyi went to Song Wuxi's yard. She only called her "Sister Heyi" and never spoke again. The flesh that she had gained with great difficulty had disappeared again, and she became just skin and bones, looking pitiful.

Because Song Ju was not at home, Chu Heyi specially asked someone to cook and coaxed Song Wuxi to eat some before he stopped.

Baihua had been gone for a long time and had not returned. As the sun was about to set, Chu Heyi began to worry.

If that man is a vicious murderer, can Baihua be his opponent?

"Miss!" Baihua finally walked in quickly from outside the door.

Chu He was relieved to see that she was fine.

She said goodbye to Song Wuxi and quickly left with Baihua.

After getting in the carriage, she asked Baihua what was going on.

"I was not doing my job well, and he found me, young lady. He set up a poison barrier on the road I had to take to catch up with him, but I didn't notice it at all, and I fainted after I passed it.

"When I woke up, he had disappeared. But I followed his footsteps and searched for a long time, and finally found where he stayed. I was afraid that the young lady would miss him, so I came back to report."

Seeing that Baihua wanted to check again, Chu Heyi quickly stopped her and said, "Since we know where he is, it won't be too late to go tomorrow. You've already taken a big risk today. It will be safer if you bring help with you tomorrow."

Baihua pondered for a moment and nodded. She was indeed hungry and tired.

Moreover, that man's poison was really effective. She inhaled the mist without realizing it and passed out.

It is better to be cautious when investigating such people.

That night, Baihua ate and drank well, went to bed early, and conserved her energy. She set out with two helpers before dawn the next day.

Chu Heyi had just got up when one of the helpers who had set out with Baihua came back to her and said that someone had died in a family on Gufeng Road, which happened to be the family where the thin man had appeared yesterday.

Chu Heyi: “…”

It’s not good. That family lives very close to the house where Song Ju and his sister live. Song Ju is not at home, and Song Wuxi is a girl... If something unexpected happens to her, Chu Heyi can’t even imagine what will happen to her.

"Go prepare a horse, I'm going out!" Chu Heyi didn't even have time to eat breakfast. He changed his clothes, rode a horse, and rushed to Gufeng Road.

To make matters worse, she unexpectedly encountered the carriage of Prince Cheng's palace on the way. Their carriage was magnificent, and there were several guards following behind, occupying a main road.

Chu Heyi couldn't get through on horseback.

She thought that the Cheng Wang couple would embarrass her and not allow her to go through, but unexpectedly, when Runxue saw that it was her, she said, "Let's move aside and let Sister Heyi go through first."

Her carriage and escort actually made way.

After Chu Heyi rode for a long distance, she found no ambushes or traps, and realized that King Cheng and his wife had really made way for her.

The more they acted like this, the more she couldn't let her guard down. These two people must be trying to use a small favor to break down her guard and knock her down in one fell swoop.

Chu Heyi rode his horse to the gate of the Song family. After dismounting, he rushed directly into Song Wuxi's yard without bothering to inform the servants.

In the yard, Song Wuxi was sitting on a chair under the eaves, next to him was Doctor Yan, who looked terrified, and... another person.

The overly thin man in blue whom she had been investigating.
