Missing, and still can't find the slightest trace, if it is an agency, then it will definitely leave traces.Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou planned to go to the meditation room again, but before going to the meditation room, there was one more thing to do.

The two detoured to the backyard of Hua's house, and met Xiaoqing, the maid who followed Hu Bing before.

"Seventh Young Master, why are you here? And Mr. Lu, why are you here together?" Xiaoqing looked at them, a little surprised, not knowing why they came to find her.

Hua Manlou nodded and sat down beside him, "You went to the temple with the third sister-in-law that day, and then you went to pick up things and came back, did you find anything wrong? There should not be many people in the yard at that time."

Xiaoqing's face was a little flustered, and she hurriedly said: "Seventh Young Master, I... I just went to pick up things, and I didn't see anyone at all. I went to pick up things because Young Madam's steps fell by the side, but who knew what to pick up? A group of people were clamoring over while we were doing things, and I wanted to go over and see that a group of people had surrounded the door, and I couldn’t get in at all.”

"Did the people in the government office ask you anything after that? You are the servant girl next to the third sister-in-law, so logically they should ask you." Hua Manlou noticed Xiaoqing's panic, and couldn't help but soften his tone, "Don't you Nervous, we're just asking you about the day, not about anything."

Hearing this, Xiaoqing looked at the two of them, felt a little uncomfortable, and suddenly knelt down, "Seventh Young Master, Young Madam's walking stick suddenly broke, and I don't know what happened, she likes that walking stick very much, originally we were going together In the meditation room, the more I think about it, the more panic I feel, thinking that maybe I can fix it when I go back and pick it up, so I don’t feel so uncomfortable.”

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the maid in front of him, she was not very old, but she was about to get married, so she was a little flustered seeing them, but——

It is understandable that they came here aggressively, as if they were here to interrogate, how could a little girl who had never seen the world not panic.

I'm afraid she will be afraid even this day.

"Your name is Xiaoqing? Then can you remember when that group of people came? Who came in the yard before?" Lu Xiaofeng was originally handsome, but now he deliberately let Xiaoqing relax.

She has been in Hua's family for many years, Hua Manlou, the seventh young master, is rarely in Jinling, although I heard that he has a gentle temper, but when he thinks that he is his young master, he can't help but worry and fear, for fear that he will be kicked out of the house.

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng like this, he calmed down, "I remember, my young lady and I were sitting under the tree. The young lady said that it would be better to wait outside in the Zen room. Anyway, the incense is strong and it doesn't seem so cold. After sitting for a while, a young monk came Said let us go to the meditation room, the host is coming soon, let's go and wait first."

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Huamanlou, saw that Huamanlou had the same expression as himself, and nodded, "Do you still remember what that little monk looked like?"

"Remember! There is a mole on the earlobe. He passed in front of me at that time. When I turned around, I saw a mole on the earlobe of his left ear. He is relatively small, so he should be young, about seventeen or eighteen." Xiaoqing quickly told , "Is there something wrong with this little monk? He asked us to go to the meditation room, and someone died in the meditation room."

It seems that the little monk has some problems, at least for now, the problem lies with him.

Hua Manlou frowned and pondered for a moment, knowing that Xiaoqing might not be able to ask anything here, so she got up and stood up, "You take good care of Shi Bai for a while, and - try not to go out, you follow Mrs. If you know the true face of the murderer, he may attack you, so be more cautious."

"Thank you Seventh Young Master for reminding me, I...I won't go out, and I will definitely take good care of Young Master."

The two walked out of the yard, and the snow on the garden path had been swept away.Hua Manlou turned her head and said in a low voice, "Do you have something to ask me?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Brother Hua is still as good as ever, but this time, I'm curious that you remained so calm about Miss Bai's disappearance. Are you confident or do you believe in her ability to protect herself?"

The last time at Fangjiang Tower, Bai Feifei received a slap that made flowers all over the building, but he rushed back to Longmen directly from Fangjiang Tower. He stayed in Longmen for one night and rushed back to Jinling early the next morning.Why is he so calm at the moment? Apart from the possibility he could think of just now, he couldn't think of any reason like Huamanlou.

The snow on the branches fell down on his shoulders because it was too heavy, Hua Manlou raised his hand to brush it away, "She can protect herself, and if she is really captured by the murderer, then the Hua family will not be so peaceful now."

"what do you mean?"

"Who knows what is the secret hidden behind the secret passage." A trace of suspicion flashed across Huamanlou's face, but there was no evidence to support it, so he could only let it go, "Lu Xiaofeng, something strange has happened in Jinling City during this time."

"what?"

"Talk while you walk."

Looking at Hua Manlou's eyes, Lu Xiaofeng knew that Hua Manlou must have discovered something unusual, so he walked out beside him—what strange things could happen in Jinling City?But there was no discussion on the street.

Is it missing?The disappearance of the decent disciples has not yet been found out, but some of those trapped in the Fangjiang Tower have been rescued, and the remaining ones in the hands of mysterious people are probably no longer alive.

"Did you know that in the past ten years at Jiming Temple, there have been frequent cases of female pilgrims disappearing?"

The female pilgrim disappeared?

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes darkened, and he stared at Huamanlou, "What do you mean? The government asked you to investigate a disappearance case that has been involved for ten years through the matter of your third sister-in-law?"

Hua Manlou nodded, and then said the matter again.

Jinling is a prosperous place, but there are also a lot of romantic things, especially talented people and beautiful women who have romantic deeds. If you come to Jinling and don't hear about these things, it will be considered as a waste of time.

But in the past ten years, there have been women who disappeared inexplicably after going to Jiming Temple to offer incense every year. Almost all of them disappeared on the way home after leaving the temple.The government also checked, and after suppressing the bandits, they didn't find out that bandits were responsible, but they disappeared without any evidence or clues, which is incredible.

However, there are not many people missing, and the time is not fixed. There is no law of committing crimes at all, and the government can only investigate, but it has been delayed for ten years. So far, nearly twenty women have disappeared. The ages are also different. There are fifteen or sixteen. The girl also has more than 30 women.

If Hua Manlou hadn't met Zhifu Lin this time, he wouldn't have known about this incident.

Prefect Lin entrusted Hua Manlou to investigate the case because a lady from another family disappeared half a month ago on her way home. After a couple of years of marriage, she got married a few years later, and now that this incident happened, the prefect's wife's eyes were red from crying, and she washed her face with tears all day long.

This case was originally the responsibility of the government, so the prefect Lin wanted to rely on Hua Manlou to find out who was behind it and solve this big case.

"Ten years... There are too many things involved, and the family members of the missing woman may not remember what happened back then. How do you find out? The prefect of Lin is probably making things difficult for you." Lu Xiaofeng sneered, "There is actually a temple. This kind of thing happened, but how can prefect Lin and the others be sure that it has something to do with Jiming Temple?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "How could it be possible that there is no clue at all, as long as a crime is committed, there will definitely be clues left behind, and the ones left just happen to be—"

"what?"

"The smell of incense."

"These girls all came out of the temple, so it's not surprising that they smell of incense." Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, then thought of something, stared at Huamanlou, "So that's how it is."

Hua Manlou nodded, "Let's go, let's go to the temple."

"Go again tomorrow morning?"

"Of course it is more convenient to act at night."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed, "Hua Man Lou, Hua Man Lou, when did you learn the trick of Si Kong Zhai Xing? This is not like you. It seems that you are really in a hurry."

Ignoring Lu Xiaofeng's teasing, Hua Manlou walked forward, "Brother Lu was joking."
