The anger in Master Ling's heart was instantly stuck. It seemed wrong to pursue the matter at this time, as the man's life or death was still unknown!
Madam Ling looked at Master Ling and said, "Master, now that Bao'er has been found, let's not go up the mountain. Let's ask the servants to go up the mountain and take a look. Bao'er, come home with me. I will definitely find out the truth about the golden sachet you mentioned."
As she said this, Mrs. Ling suddenly remembered that the captain of the police in front of her seemed to be quite capable, and perhaps she could ask him to help with the investigation.
"Captain Liu, you heard it too. Someone wants to murder my child. I am reporting this to you right now. Would you please help me investigate the case?"
As the head of the police, Liu Yifang was supposed to investigate the case, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I just hope Master Ling, you can give us more clues. Are we still going up the mountain to look for someone?"
Master Ling hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Let the servants go up the mountain to look for him. If they can find him, bring him back. If they can't find him, he might have been killed."
That's true. We learned that it was a pack of wolves that came last night. Those who were able to escape from the wolves and survive were considered lucky. There was a bonfire dinner in Fangjia Village last night, otherwise none of them would have survived.
"Our young master has already said so, let's go to the mountain to look for him. You servants can follow him if you want."
Mr. Ling and Mrs. Ling would naturally not follow. Mrs. Ling looked at Liu Yifang politely and said, "Since Captain Liu wants to go up the mountain to search, we will wait for you at the Ling family."
Liu Yifang nodded and said, "Okay then."
After a few more words, Master Ling left with Madam Ling and Ling Yuanbao. Liu Yifang led the wounded soldiers and servants to search the mountain.
In fact, Liu Yifang understood why Nan Nan asked him to come. She was afraid that the wolves would come back again. You know, Miss Fang lived at the foot of the mountain! For Miss Fang's safety, they had to search thoroughly.
After spending a whole day searching the mountains near Fangjia Village, they found no wolves or other wild animals. However, they did find a few partially eaten corpses.
It should be some of the people who went up the mountain together. Of course, those who were not found are probably in danger. I don’t know who these people are. Anyway, we have to send the remains to the Ling family to confirm it.
Ling Yuanbao followed his parents back home, and when he reached Fangjia Village, he remembered Miss Fang's reminder. But it was only a day later, and he was afraid that it was not appropriate for him to follow them back.
Thinking I should go ask, I quickly headed to Fang's house. When I arrived at Fang Xiaoxi's house, I knocked on the door: "Miss Fang, are you there?"
Mr. Ling and Mrs. Ling were a little curious. Why would their son come to see someone else's girl? Still a little curious, Fang Xiaoxi came out with a medical book and saw that it was Ling Yuanbao.
"It's you. Aren't your parents here to look for you? Why are you here with me instead of going home with them?"
Ling Yuanbao felt a little embarrassed: "Didn't you suggest that I go home in a few days? So I came to ask if I can go home now."
Fang Xiaoxi had never seen such a stupid person. She curled her lips and said, "Your parents are here to pick you up, so of course you have to go back. And if you explain the matter clearly, they will investigate it. It is definitely better than hiding outside by yourself. Go back quickly."
Master Ling also knew that Fang Xiaoxi was the Miss Fang who saved Ling Yuanbao, and he immediately smiled and said, "You are the lifesaver of my Baoer, and we will definitely repay you for this favor."
After saying that, he took Ling Yuanbao away. After all, he had to go home first. After returning to the Ling family, Master Ling called a doctor and gave Ling Yuanbao a full body check. After confirming that Ling Yuanbao was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the second aunt of the Ling family heard that Ling Yuanbao had returned, she quickly came to the living room. When she came to the living room, she saw that the doctor had just left. She turned around and saw that the person sitting there was Ling Yuanbao. As expected, he had returned.
"Is this the young master back? Is everything okay? It's good that he's back?"
Mrs. Ling felt that this was very irritating. What did she mean by "no problem"? What could be the problem? The doctor had just checked it.
Ling Yuanbao looked at the Second Aunt with a smile: "Second Aunt, I'm fine. The doctor just checked me and there's nothing wrong."
A flash of disappointment flashed across Second Aunt's eyes, but it soon turned into happiness: "Thank goodness, he must have been frightened last night. It's good that he's back."
Ling Yuanbao still introduced politely: "I wasn't frightened! When I got separated from them yesterday, I met other hunters and joined them!"
Madam Ling coughed and looked at Ling Yuanbao: "Bao'er, there is no need to explain to everyone. Anyway, whoever wants to harm my son will be revealed when Captain Liu comes."
The Second Aunt was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? Madam, is it possible that someone is harming the young master this time? Who is it? What's going on?"
Looking at the silly look of the Second Aunt, as if she really knew nothing, Mrs. Ling just snorted coldly but did not say anything.
He just looked at Ling Yuanbao and said, "Bao'er, go and have a rest first. We'll talk when Captain Liu comes."
Ling Yuanbao nodded. Because of the bonfire dinner last night and later the visit to the villa that was under construction, he didn't sleep very long, so he just obediently went to rest.
He slept until it was almost dark. At this time, Liu Yifang also came to the Ling family with the corpses he found. He found Master Ling and said, "Master Ling, judging from their attire, these corpses should be the missing servants of the Ling family. Do you want to confirm their identities?"
He wanted to say that he couldn't let these people die without any names, but he didn't need to say this. Master Ling nodded and called everyone in the mansion over.
Everyone in the Ling family was shocked when they saw these mutilated corpses. The timid ones started crying, and some even vomited. The scene was a horrific sight.
Master Ling frowned and said, "Now we can't tell who is who among these people. We can only rely on clothes and other things. You can confirm whether you know who this person belongs to. Come and take a look."
Some people were unfamiliar with these people and stood far away, not daring to approach. But Master Ling began to call out names and had people identify them. After some identification, each corpse finally had its own name.
There was only one body left, and he was not wearing the uniform of the Ling family's guards. However, this uniform looked familiar. Ling Yuanbao spoke up again, "Is that your second uncle? When he went out with us, he wore clothes like this."
It was really possible that when Madam Ling heard about this, she also came over quickly. She didn't even know that her grandson was in trouble because Master Ling was worried about her, so he didn't tell her.
Now that the entire Ling family had come, Old Madam Ling naturally knew about it. With Ling Yuanbao around, there was no need to worry about her being upset. Besides, she was old and had lived a long life, so she had seen corpses eaten by wild beasts before.
This second uncle of the Ling family is actually a member of the Ling family, but he is not Ling Yuanbao's biological uncle. It's just that this uncle has always been very good to Ling Yuanbao. Now that his uncle is dead, Ling Yuanbao is naturally still sad.
Madam Ling looked at Liu Yifang and said, "Captain Liu, I'm glad you're here. Now in front of you, I'm going to ask you a question. Who knows this treasure bag?"
This brocade bag was the same one that Ling Yuanbao had put in the beast attracting powder. After Nan Nan threw out the beast attracting powder, she cleaned it thoroughly and gave this brocade bag to Ling Yuanbao.
When Ling Yuanbao talked about the beast-attracting powder, he naturally gave the brocade bag to his mother. He believed that even if the Ling family wanted to harm him, that person would definitely not be his mother.
Seeing the brocade bag, the maids around the second aunt suddenly became a little nervous. When Liu Yifang saw Madam Ling take out the brocade bag, he was observing the reactions of the maids and servants, and naturally did not miss her reaction.
Madam Ling asked for a long time before she realized that no one answered her: "You don't know? Or you don't dare to admit it? Then I will spend a lot of money to ask, who embroidered this brocade bag? Don't think that I can't find out if you don't tell me. Captain Liu, are you sure you can find it?"
Liu Yifang took a look at the brocade bag and said, "The fabric used for this brocade bag is all top quality, and the embroidery is different for each person. It's easy to know who the brocade bag belongs to."
Master Ling also became interested when he heard this: "Oh? Then Captain Liu, tell me, how can we make these people confess? Whose treasure bag is this?"
Liu Yifang looked at everyone and said, "Everyone is holding a piece of cloth to make a brocade bag like this. The embroidery is something that cannot be deceived. And I believe that you all have familiar maids who are familiar with your embroidery. There will always be someone who recognizes you."
"Now, please ask Master Ling to prepare a room and separate the people. Let them in one by one to identify the brocade bag. The rest of you, start embroidering the brocade bag."
This arrangement was suitable. Although it was dark now, Master Ling had already ordered people to light the lamps and to find out tonight who was so ambitious as to want to kill his son.
Liu Yifang looked at the reactions of these people. Some of them were calm and fearless, but there were a few who were obviously unsure and worried.
Now the message conveyed by Captain Liu is very simple. Whoever the lucky bag belongs to is the murderer, and none of these people dare to admit it.
Master Ling acted quickly and the room was soon ready. Liu Yifang personally interrogated the servants one by one, while the rest began to embroider the brocade bag.
