Grudge Breaker

Chapter 18: Chaos and Suspicion (Part )
-
  The bamboo forest makes a rustling sound when blown by the breeze, which makes people feel pure.

Song Weichen sat huddled on the stone pier in the yard of Tingfeng Mansion with her hands and legs folded. The stone was cool in the early morning, her clothes were thin, and she could only feel the chill in her bones.

Although he left the house in anger, he had nowhere to go. The Bird Immortal who had a close relationship with Wangchuan just left without leaving any contact information and where to seek refuge. Besides, he would always lift the mask to show himself, and it was quite scary to ask her to be responsible for him after seeing it. This wasn't even ambiguous, it was presumptuous.

Forget it, after thinking about it, I’d better stay here for now, at least I don’t have to worry about what the misogynistic man will do to me.

She looked around and saw that Tingfeng Mansion was an independent courtyard with a beautiful bamboo forest. There was also a fine Guqin in the bamboo forest pavilion. Unfortunately, the body of the Qin had signs of being burned by fire. It was a waste of natural resources and she didn't know. Who did it.

There is a mountain view next to the bamboo scene. The spring water flowing from the mountain goes around the courtyard. The path is paved with white pebbles beside the water. The unnamed grass and flowers beside the path are swaying with dewdrops in the morning sun. If it is Wear warm clothes. You can sit and watch the scenery all day long. It is really pleasing to the eye.

"Sneeze!" She sniffed, feeling her throat itchy.

In fact, besides Mo Tingfeng's bedroom, there were several rooms in the courtyard. She didn't know what they were for, and it was not suitable for her to peep in. Her eyes swept around and returned to the guqin in the pavilion - Song Weichen In fact, she is very good at playing the guqin. When she was a child, her mother asked her to learn music. Among so many musical instruments, she only chose the guqin.

I still remember that my mother said at that time that the guqin used calligraphy notation, not staff. In the future, she would have to learn the staff again when learning other things, and asked her to change it, even to guzheng. She was determined not to change it because she felt that she was destined to this object. The teacher who taught Guqin laughed and said that she had an old soul.

Yi Xue has been studying for many years, but she never had the opportunity to show her skills when she grew up. Her friends, who only like to roar in the KTV, are not people who can sit down, have a cup of tea, laugh and listen to the piano.

Now that I see the guqin here, my hands feel itchy. She looked around, there was no one around and she had nothing to do, so why not practice her skills? She just sat down by the piano and wanted to play, when she heard a scolding.

"No touching!"

Song Weichen was frightened and retracted his hand angrily.

"You must not touch this piano, or get out of Si Chen's mansion immediately!" This voice made the morning chill even worse.

I have never seen such a picky man! It's just a guqin. It would rather be left in the courtyard to gather dust than let anyone touch it. This lump of thousand-year-old ice is deliberately looking for trouble early in the morning. Is it because it occupied his bed last night and left him no place to sleep? That's not true... it's probably because this is the treasure left here by one of his sweethearts, so he feels so proud of it? She glanced at the burnt parts of the piano with disgust, it was as if she wanted to touch the fox girl's things.

While he was thinking blindly, a white robe was thrown at him, "Put it on, and after washing, follow me to the morning meeting."

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at her, and walked toward the courtyard door to stand, his back showing impatience.

"Oh, okay boss."

He responded lazily and sneezed again, as if he was catching a cold. While she was getting dressed, she stood behind him and made various faces at the back of his head.
.
  After following him into the meeting hall, I found that almost all of them were the core members of the Sichen Mansion.

As a rule, the Grudge Breakers will hold morning meetings every day at Chen hour to discuss serious and important cases and formulate action strategies. Usually hosted by Ding Heran, the core of today's discussion is how to capture the escaped Luanpo.

"The Luan Po has been escaping for more than three days. It neither absorbs the San Po nor knows how to deliberately hide its traces. It is really contrary to common sense. I suspect that it has its own sense of action."

As soon as Mo Tingfeng said this, everyone was stunned.

"Sir, I have been in Sichen Mansion for thousands of years, and I have never recorded a self-aware Luan Po. This speculation is not trivial. If it is true, I am afraid the world will be in chaos..."

The speaker was Uncle Fei, the transcription officer of Si Chen's Mansion. Counting Mo Tingfeng, he had served three Si Chens. Although he was not involved in handling foreign cases, his words had their own weight and credibility. "Sneeze!" Song Weichen couldn't help but sneeze loudly. She seemed to have caught a cold in the yard in the morning. She wiped her nose. Why did she become so weak in the past two days? Could it be that her immunity was not acclimatized in the sleep world? Worse?
  Mo Tingfeng was about to continue speaking, but stopped because of this.

"I'm sorry, boss, please continue." Song Weichen apologized quickly with an embarrassed face.

He picked up his tea cup expressionlessly, drank the cold tea inside, then filled a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Song Weichen.

This move fell into Ding Heran's eyes, and he almost stared out of his eyes. No one in Sichen's house knew that Mo Tingfeng had a mysophobia. Not to mention sharing the same thing with him, they would hate him to death even if they met him. What happened today? If it is unbelievable that there is sound, it must be deafening in the chamber right now.
.
  "No blame, did the government office find anything?"

"Sir, according to your instructions yesterday, we went to various government offices to screen common cases received in the past three days, and we found a breakthrough point."

Ye Wujiu stood next to Ding Heran in a gray robe. He was a young man with a clear face and a calm and reserved temperament.

"From the government report records, we found that there have been abnormalities in four villages and towns in recent days. These four places are all at the junction of us and Youmei, and they have all lost their children."

Mo Tingfeng looked serious and said, "Tell me in detail."

"A total of five children were lost in the four villages and towns, two boys and three girls, aged between four and eight respectively. They were not related to each other, and the families did not know each other. The only thing in common was that these five children Both biological mothers are dead.”

"When did the last one happen?" Mo Tingfeng thought thoughtfully.

"It happened yesterday evening. A family in Qiushui Town reported that their child was missing from a ruined temple near their home."

Qiushui Town? Isn't this where I was yesterday? Song Weichen remembered that Gu Cangyue mentioned this place name, and she couldn't help but listen more carefully.

"This case recorded a very strange point. Faxiao, the missing boy, claimed that as long as he stayed in the ruined temple until evening, he could see his dead mother return, so the two made an appointment to do it yesterday. Faxiao went late and didn't see her. It was thought that the boy had broken the appointment, and he only revealed the matter when he went to the house of the missing boy at night to search for him."

"Wait a minute, I was sitting near a house in Qiushui Town to rest last night. At that time, I did vaguely hear a little boy calling for his mother. It can't be such a coincidence, right...?" Song Weichen couldn't help but speak.

"What a coincidence? Brother Wei, do you still remember the specific place? Can you take me to see it after the morning meeting?" Ding Heran wanted to go to the scene to find out if there were any more clues.

"There's a big wolf dog there! I..." She glanced at Mo Tingfeng timidly and suppressed the word fear.

"You... aren't afraid of dogs, are you? If not, I will take you there." He reluctantly agreed.

"If there was chaos in the past, it must have left behind a strange aura. But after such a long time, even if there was, it may have dissipated. If He Ran thinks it is a clue, there is no harm in taking Song Weichen to take a look."

Mo Tingfeng was about to say something else, but was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Where did she go? Did she get my consent?!"
