Yun Yao walked to the river and faced the river. The clear river reflected the red lights of the houses on both sides, as well as Yun Yao's face. She took out a small wooden fish from her arms and put it in the water.
The wooden fish floated on the water, and suddenly, a group of red carps emerged from the river and circled around the wooden fish. The way the carps circled around was very strange, they lined up neatly and circled around the wooden fish. Seeing this scene, Yuchi Jingbei was once again surprised. Everything he saw, heard, and experienced tonight was like a dream, making him feel like he was half asleep and half awake, and he had no time to believe everything in front of him, but because of Yun Yao, he chose to believe it unconditionally.
Red carps surrounded the fish-shaped wooden sign. Yun Yao asked, "There was a boat here before, and a girl got on the boat. Where did she go?"
When Yuchi Jingbei was wondering why Yun Yao asked about the carp, he saw that the red carps surrounding the fish plate actually swam away and began to form a shape on the clear water surface, which was actually an arrow!
The red arrow is pointing in the direction of the eastern suburbs!
Yuchi Jingbei stood frozen in shock. The fish, the fish was "speaking"!
Upon seeing this, Yun Yao immediately retrieved the fish tag from the water, then stood up and looked at Yuchi Jingbei: "There is no time, someone kidnapped a girl and went to the eastern suburbs, it will be faster if I go by myself!" Yuchi Jingbei is a mortal and his speed cannot keep up with Yun Yao.
Yuchi Jingbei suddenly came to his senses. What Yunyao said was exactly what he had guessed based on everything that happened tonight. He wanted to say that she needed help, but after everything that happened tonight, why did Yunyao need help? He felt that if he followed her, he would be more of a burden.
However, Yuchi Jingbei still didn't want to be separated from Yun Yao, and immediately said: "What else can I do?!"
Yun Yao looked at Yuchi Jingbei's anxious and serious expression, and thought seriously for a while. This time, she did not hesitate, nor was she impulsive and competitive. Instead, she said to Yuchi Jingbei seriously: "Go to the Eight Gates to find Fu Mingrui. This case is serious and we need his officers and soldiers to come. If you can't find Fu Mingrui at the Eight Gates, you can ask them for the location of the Ninth Gate, and then go to the Ninth Gate to find Fu Mingrui and tell him that someone kidnapped a girl tonight, and it may be involved in the serial murder of girls. Ask him to bring people to meet me as soon as possible!"
Yuchi Jingbei was greatly surprised after hearing this. It turned out that the case that Yun Yao was investigating tonight was such a serious case! He only guessed that someone had kidnapped a girl, but he never expected it to be a murder, and a serial murder! The word "serial" meant that this was not the first time the other party had kidnapped a girl!
Yuchi Jingbei nodded immediately: "Okay! But how should we contact you then?"
Yun Yao pulled out the icy jade from her hair and handed it to Yuchi Jingbei: "After explaining the situation to Fu Mingrui, this hairpin will lead you to reunite with me. Be quick! The girl has been taken away!" When Yun Yao stuffed the hairpin into Yuchi Jingbei's hand, she held Fu Mingrui's hand tightly, as if handing a girl's life into Yuchi Jingbei's hands.
The case in the capital was committed by someone, and Fu Mingrui had to investigate it, because Yun Yao didn't know how many people were behind the case, and it was not convenient for them, the Nine Gates, to intervene in many places.
The other party obviously had a plan and methods. They kidnapped the girls for a year and killed them quietly. Only the Eight Gates could investigate such a case and suppress all the evildoers in the capital!
Yuchi Jingbei looked at the ice-blue hairpin in his hand and was a little confused. How could this hairpin help them reconcile with Yun Yao
Yun Yao saw his confusion and thought that if Fu Mingrui had the same doubts as Yuchi Jingbei, however, if he mentioned one person, Fu Mingrui would no longer be confused. After this night, Yun Yao was indeed much calmer.
So, she added: "If Fu Mingrui is confused, tell him that this hairpin was given to me by Sister Youyou, so you can definitely bring him to find me!" After Yun Yao finished speaking, she turned around and jumped into the darkness, disappearing in an instant.
Yuchi Jingbei stared at Yunyao's speed. As expected, he couldn't keep up. He lowered his head and looked at the cold hairpin in his hand. Although he was still confused about the hairpin in his hand, he believed in Yunyao. Yuchi Jingbei immediately clenched the hairpin and turned around without hesitation and ran towards the direction of the Eight Gates.
Yun Yao chased along the river from the eaves. She turned over and jumped, completely transformed into a beautiful white fox, flying on the beams, faster and faster. Her fast figure made it impossible to tell whether she was a white fox or a white cat chasing a mouse. Even her figure could not be seen, and it only felt like a ray of white light passing through the darkness.
Yun Yao's fox ears began to open wide, following the stream eastward to follow the sound. Her ability was different from her brother's. Yun Xi was good at tracking smells, and she was good at tracking sounds. They each had their strengths and weaknesses.
If Yun Xi didn't get the scent clue at the beginning, he wouldn't be able to track her. And if Yun Yao was too far away, he wouldn't be able to get the sound information either.
Suddenly, Yun Yao heard a slight sound in her ears.
"The president should be here by now. We were too slow tonight. It's all your fault. You were so hesitant and dithering."
"I… "
"Look at you, you're not afraid of anything! You've been doing this for a year, and now you feel guilty? Humph!"
"I... I want to quit. I have nightmares every night..."
"If you quit now, you will die! We are worshipping an evil god. Do you want your whole family to die? Think about your sister!"
Yun Yao heard the voice. The girl's disappearance was actually related to the evil god. It seemed that this case was not simple. She quickened her pace, jumped out of the high city wall of the capital, and entered the woods in the eastern suburbs.
She originally came from the eastern suburbs, but she didn't expect to go back to the eastern suburbs again. She really went around in a big circle tonight.
As she entered the quiet woods and lost the noisy sounds, the target she was tracking became clearer and clearer in her mind. The sound became her eyes and the air flow became her paintbrush, helping her to draw clear pictures in her mind.
She closed her eyes tightly and focused her attention on her ears. The air currents passed through the woods, the paths, and every blade of grass, sending clear images into her ears. She moved freely in this special painting.
In the distance, a small boat has reached a small river in the suburbs. The surroundings are quiet, with only the sound of wind blowing through the leaves, the sound of oars paddling across the water, and the sound of ripples on the water.
The boat slowly approached the shore, and when the wind blew, the airflow once again constructed the picture. On the shore was a large mansion in the eastern suburbs.
In the East Suburbs, many dignitaries built private houses, such as the Wang Yi family, who also lived in the East Suburbs. But most of the nobles only used the East Suburbs houses when they were in summer to meet guests. Therefore, most of the houses in the East Suburbs were empty on weekdays, with only a few servants cleaning them on a daily basis. (To be continued)
