Chapter 30 The Survivors of That Year
It was just a minor missing case, and there was not much information recorded in the file, but the girl's name and address were still there.
Shaoyin Ping took the yellowed file handed over by the yamen runner and glanced at it. He saw the woman next to him looking towards him from the corner of his eye. He frowned slightly and handed the file to Feng Yang next to him. He said in a low voice: "Feng Yang, show this file to Su Yue."
Feng Yang responded immediately.
Xiang Bei on the side was so upset that he wanted to cry, it was all over, that girl was obviously a million miles away from His Highness, but she just leaned towards His Highness and His Highness was so disgusted with her.
Your Highness! The sea of suffering is endless, but you must find your way back!
Su Liuyue seemed not to notice Ping Shaoyin's frown. She took the file, unfolded it, took a quick look, and said, "The girl's name was Yao Chan. She lived in Xinghua Lane in the outer city. I want to go there right away!"
It is convenient to work for a high-ranking official. After Su Liuyue said this, two carriages were soon parked in front of the Jingzhao Prefecture. Ping Shaoyin sat in one, Su Liuyue sat in the other, and the other yamen runners trotted on both sides.
As luck would have it, the person driving Su Liuyue's carriage was Lu Rou.
Lu Lu had been holding back words for a long time, and now he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Young Master Su, I advise you not to be so confident now. Now that Ping Shaoyin trusts you so much, he even sacrifices his precious time to accompany you to investigate cases. If you find out that it is just a waste of time in the end, you can't afford to pay for it..."
"Thank you for reminding."
Su Liuyue in the carriage was resting with her eyes closed. She said calmly, "But I am used to focusing when I'm investigating a case. Please don't bother me with these trivial matters."
Her mind is now full of this case and the girl who was suddenly arrested. How can she think about anything else?
Moreover, did he really think that the man had been following her around just for this case?
routing:"……"
This woman's attitude is too arrogant, as if she has investigated many cases!
The cases she investigated were not even as good as one of his fingers!
However, there was Ping Shaoyin's carriage in front of him, and Lu did not dare to act rashly. He could only shut his mouth angrily.
He just wanted to see if she could find a flower!
After arriving at Xinghua Lane, as soon as they got off the carriage, several yamen runners sent by Ping Shaoyin came forward, bowed and said, "I just asked the residents nearby, and the Yao family still lives here. When Yao disappeared, she got married about a year later. The family she married lives in Qing'an Lane nearby, about a quarter of an hour away from here.
However……"
He paused, and suddenly said with a strange expression: "Yao died of illness more than two months ago."
died?!
Everyone was shocked. Ping Shaoyin's face darkened slightly, and he immediately asked, "Are you sure she died of illness?"
"There shouldn't be anything wrong."
The yamen runner nodded immediately and said, "Everyone who knows Yao said that Yao has been weak and sickly in the past few years. It seems that she will not live long. I have already sent someone to ask the doctor who often treats Yao. There should be news soon."
Shao Yin Ping was silent for a moment, then asked, "How much have you learned about Yao's life? Was there anything strange about her disappearance?"
The bailiff said, "We have basically found out everything. The neighbors of the Yao family all said that this Yao... had a very hot temper. After getting married, she would quarrel with her husband every few days and run back to her parents' home.
I asked them about Yao's disappearance fifteen years ago. Many people said that it was just a misunderstanding. Yao had a quarrel with her parents and hid in her grandparents' house on purpose to make her parents worry. This was something she could do.
Only one family's maid said that she felt that the matter was not that simple. It was early in the morning when Yao came back. She was just going to the street to sell buns and saw her. She said that she was wearing the same light yellow cloth skirt as when she disappeared, but the skirt was dirty and wrinkled, as if it had not been washed for several days. The bun on her head was also a mess, and her face was full of panic and fear. She called her and she immediately ran into the alley like a frightened mouse. After that, she hid at home and did not see anyone. It was about more than a month before she came out. According to her family, she did not go out for more than a month as a punishment for hiding without permission. "
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this.
Damn it, from what I heard, this Yao is not really a survivor of the series of cases fifteen years ago? !
This kind of thing would damage a girl's reputation, and her parents would definitely try their best to cover it up for her.
Su Liuyue, who had been silent the whole time, stared at the yamen runner and asked, "This old woman told you the matter so easily, which shows that she can't keep her mouth shut. She must have talked about this matter a lot outside. Why didn't anyone else gossip about Yao except her?"
The yamen runner looked at Su Liuyue, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said, "Su... cough, young Master Su is really sharp! We also asked about this matter. The old woman said that the Yao family usually sells pork, and Yao's father has always had a bad temper. When Yao just came back, people around her were gossiping about her. But Yao's father held a more than ten-inch long pig-killing knife and threatened everyone one by one, saying that if anyone dared to damage his daughter's reputation, he would die with him. After threatening like this, no one dared to gossip about Yao anymore!
Now, Yao has just passed away, and many people will not speak nonsense for the sake of merit. I think that woman must have had some grievances with the Yao family before, which is why she told me so much. "
When it came to Madam Qiluzhai’s case, he watched Miss Su solve the case the whole time!
Unexpectedly, he would have the chance to see her investigate a case!
Although he didn't quite understand why she was now dressed as a man, and why His Highness suddenly ordered them to help conceal her female identity, this did not prevent him from having a deep admiration for Miss Su in his heart!
Su Liuyue heard this and looked thoughtful.
Lu Lu, who was standing by, suddenly said, "But we can't just listen to what that woman said. She already has conflicts with the Yao family. Who knows if she is deliberately trying to discredit a girl from our family?"
Su Liuyue glanced at him.
Router immediately looked at her unwillingly.
What's wrong with what he said? If this woman doesn't listen to other people's opinions, she should go home as soon as possible!
Su Liuyue raised her lips and said, "Mr. Lu is right, so we need to find out more about this matter. Although Yao has passed away, her parents are still alive.
No one knows better than them what happened to their daughter."
After saying that, he looked at the yamen runner who had just reported the situation and said, "Do you know where the Yao family is? Please take us there."
routing:"……"
He was a little confused by the girl's reaction.
How come she doesn't seem angry at all, and rather... quite happy?
Ping Shaoyin also nodded and said calmly: "Let's go and meet the people from the Yao family."
The bailiff who led them was named Feng Dali. He was just like his name, simple-minded.
According to what Feng Dali had inquired, Yao's parents had a son and a daughter, and now they lived with their son's family.
