Start Six Maids

"However, we must use Chu Ci to lead the investigation!"

Looking at Chu Ci, Zheng Shushan said, "This task is ordered by Master Tongzhi, and it is an assessment of your promotion to the bronze medal!"

"I hope you will not disappoint Master Tongzhi's expectations!"

Chu Ci nodded, looked at Zheng Shushan and said, "Do your best!"

Zheng Shushan patted Chu Ci on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Song Qian is one of the few female members of our Weird Department, we must rescue them!"

Holding the file, Chu Ci and Li Yuchun left Zheng Shushan's office.

While walking back, Chu Ci asked Li Yuchun aloud, "Team leader, do you know anyone in Song Qian's team?"

Li Yuchun nodded and recalled, "Song Qian, I've met you a few times."

"We are one of the few female members of the Weird Department. They are heroic and very popular."

"As for the members of her group, I only know Jiang Tao. He is in the same class as me. He has a simple and honest personality, but his cultivation talent is not good, and he has stayed at the third level for many years."

Chu Ci didn't know Song Qian, but she knew another female member of her group, Tian Miao.

Tian Miao, Chu Ci, and Zhou Kai are classmates, and they entered the strange place together.

Chu Ci was assigned to Li Yuchun's group, Zhou Kai was assigned to Zhu Chongjiu's group, and Tian Miao was assigned to Song Qian's group.

But he never expected to hear the news of her disappearance today.

Back at the office, Li Baitian and Zhou weekend surrounded him curiously.

"Team leader, Chu Ci, what does Master Qian want you to do?"

Chu Ci raised the file in Yang's hand and said, "Here comes the mission."

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci handed the file to Li Baitian and Weekend, and asked them to look through it.

Chu Ci looked at Li Yuchun, and said in a deep voice, "Today is NO.17, Song Qian and the others have been missing for two days."

"Leader, do you have any ideas?"

Li Yuchun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue yet, why don't you ask Qian Changjiang first?"

Qian Changjiang's team was sent out to investigate the situation after Song Qian's disappearance, but failed.

But they had the first-hand information, so it was necessary for Chu Ci to ask about the situation.

After Li Baitian and Weekend finished reading the dossier, Chu Ci called the others to look for Qian Changjiang.

Qian Changjiang's group was on duty at the headquarters, and after knowing the reason for Chu Ci's visit, they described the situation of their investigation in detail.

It was the same as the situation described in the dossier, only more detailed.

Chu Ci stood up, looked at Qian Changjiang and cupped his hands and said, "Very good, Brother Qian, excuse me!"

Qian Changjiang got up quickly, waved his hands and said, "Brother Chu, you are welcome."

"I feel very guilty for not being able to find Song Qian. I hope Brother Chu can win the battle and rescue Song Qian and her party!"

Chu Ci nodded, and said in a deep voice, "We will do our best!"

"Brother Qian, farewell!"

Chu Ci cupped his hands, ready to leave.

"Brother Chu, wait!" Qian Changjiang suddenly stopped Chu Ci.

A look of hesitation appeared on Qian Changjiang's face, he pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Chu, although I haven't been able to find any trace of Song Qian and her party, I have some thoughts in my heart."

"There are a total of 23 villages in the outer city east of the city. In fact, strictly speaking, there are 24 villages."

"However, the village farthest from the inner city was destroyed by a fire many years ago. In addition, the farmland around the village is scarce, so this village has been abandoned!"

"When I traced Song Qian's group, I found that they had been to this village."

"But when we went there to investigate, we didn't find any clues! It's as if Song Qian and the others suddenly disappeared!"

Looking at Chu Ci, Qian Changjiang said hesitantly, "I suspect that the disappearance of Song Qian and her party is something weird!"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, looked at Qian Changjiang and said, "Then why didn't you mention it in the file?"

Qian Changjiang shook his head slightly, and said aloud, "The writing of the dossier must be based on facts, and the strangeness is just my personal suspicion."

Chu Ci nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Brother Qian, the information you provided is very useful."

After greeting Li Yuchun and the three of them, Chu Ci left from Qian Changjiang.

After applying for a batch of equipment and rare horses, Chuci and the others left the headquarters of the Department of Weird Affairs.

Turning on their horses, everyone galloped towards the outer city in the east of the city.

Li Yuchun drove the horse and walked side by side with Chu Ci, and asked aloud, "Chu Ci, where are we going next?"

Chu Ci raised his eyes to the outer city and said, "Go and verify the statements with the farmers in the outer city village first!"

"drive!"

Chu Ci tapped the horse's belly lightly, and the speed of the linjiao horse increased a little.

Song Qian and her group have been missing for two days, the sooner they are found, the safer they will be.

In the time it took for the Linjiao horse to gallop along the official road for a stick of incense, Chuci and the others had already arrived at the nearest village to the inner city.

"Team leader, do you know the head of the village?"

Chu Ci rode on the Linjiao horse and asked Li Yuchun aloud.

"I know!" Li Yuchun nodded and said, "I've been here once before, the one at the east end of the village."

Chu Ci rode a unicorn horse, non-stop all the way, and came directly to the door of the Li Chang's house.

"Shut up!"

Chu Ci reined in the reins of the rare horse, turned over and dismounted.

Through the fence of the small courtyard, Chu Ci saw the chief who was busy in the house.

"The chief!"

Chu Ci yelled out.

Seeing Chuci and the others, the head of the village trotted out and opened the courtyard door for them.

"Adults, please come in!"

The head of the village looked at Chu Ci and pondered, "Dare to ask my lord, are you here to ask about the whereabouts of those lords from the day before yesterday?"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and asked aloud, "The head of the village knows?"

The village head called Chuci and the others to sit down, and said in a deep voice, "Yesterday at Xushi, the lady asked the old man about the situation of the village..."

Chapter 121

In the small courtyard of the village chief's house, Chu Ci and the others quietly listened to the village chief's narration.

"At the time of Xu, the lady approached the old man to ask about the situation in the village, and the old man told the truth."

"The lady led the people to linger in the village for a while, and then set off for the next village."

Chu Ci looked at the chief, and asked aloud, "Director, do you remember what the lady looks like? How many people did she bring with her? What do they look like?"

Li Chang stroked his beard and nodded and said, "I remember."

"The female adult is very young, with a very heroic appearance, and a beauty mole on the corner of her lips."

"The lady brought three people, two men and one woman."

"A man is younger, tall and thin, and looks very energetic."

"The other man is older, fat, with a round face, and looks very simple and honest."

"There is also a female doll who is not tall and loves to laugh."

Hearing this, Chu Ci and Li Yuchun looked at each other, and they were sure that the village chief met Song Qian's group.

"Lieutenant, did you hear them coming back from their night patrol?"

Chu Ci asked aloud.

The head of the village shook his head, and said in a firm voice, "After those adults left, they never came back!"

"Oh?" Chu Ci looked at the chief and asked, "How can the chief be sure?"

The head of the village pointed to the room and said, "My granddaughter had a cold the day before yesterday and she had a little fever."

"The old man didn't sleep all night. He kept wiping his granddaughter's forehead and didn't hear the sound of horseshoes in the village."

Chu Ci nodded. The night watchmen in the outer cities would ride linhorn horses, and the sound of horseshoes was very obvious when passing by the village.

If you don't sleep at night, you will definitely hear the Linjiao Ma passing by the village.

Since the chief didn't hear the sound of horseshoes the night before, it proved that Song Qian's group really didn't come back!

Chu Ci stood up, looked at the chief and said, "Thank you for the information, I will take my leave."

Seeing this, the village chief hurriedly got up, waved his hands and said, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be polite, this is what an old man should do."

Chu Ci nodded, greeted Li Yuchun and the others to leave the village head's house, got on their horses and headed to the next village.

Li Yuchun drove the horse and rode side by side with Chu Ci, and asked aloud, "Chu Ci, did you find anything?"

Chu Ci shook his head and said, "Song Qian and the others definitely didn't disappear here, let's go to the next village and ask."

The second village, the third village...

Chu Ci and the others did not stop, asking and investigating from village to village.

At three quarters of the hour, the sun was setting and the moon was rising. Chuci and his team had already inquired about 23 villages.

I asked all the villages in the outer city in the east of the city one by one, but the result was the same, and there was no clue about the disappearance of Song Qian and her party.

On a hill, Chu Ci reined in the reins of the unicorn horse.

"Leader, Li Baitian, weekend, let's sit down and have a rest."

Several people got off their horses, sat on the ground, took out their water bags and drank a few mouthfuls of clear water.

Li Yuchun looked at Chu Ci, and pondered, "Chu Ci, we have already asked all the villages, but we still haven't found any clues about Song Qian's disappearance!"

"What shall we do next?"

Chu Ci groaned silently, and gestured on the ground with a dead branch.

Li Baitian thought for a while and said, "Chu Ci, team leader, are we looking in the wrong direction?"

"Maybe Song Qian and the others encountered something and ran away to another place?"

Li Yuchun frowned and said, "But according to the confessions of those farmers, Song Qian and the others have been patrolling the night along the official road, and they haven't deviated to go elsewhere?"

Chu Ci tapped the ground with a dead branch, then stood up and looked into the distance.

Pointing to a mountain depression ahead, Chu Ci asked, "Team leader, is that place the village that was destroyed by fire and abandoned as Team Leader Qian said?"

Li Yuchun stood up and looked in the direction Chu Ci pointed, nodded and said, "It should be there!"

Looking from the hill where Chu Ci and the others were located, the valleys in the distance were lush with vegetation, but there was still a dilapidated wall of a house in a corner.

Li Baitian looked at the col with his hands together, and said, "There should be no one there long ago, right?"

"And didn't Team Leader Qian check it out? There was no trace of Team Leader Song and his party."

Looking at Chu Ci on the weekend, he asked, "Chu Ci, shall we go and have a look?"

Chu Ci raised his head to look at the sky, and pondered, "Wait, it's not the time yet."

Looking at the weekend, Chu Ci said, "On the weekend, you go hunt some prey, let's eat something first."

"Success." Weekend stood up, adjusted the sleeve arrows, and said, "You wait for me for a while, I will come when I go."

Li Baitian rubbed his stomach and said with a smile, "I'm really hungry, I'll go find some firewood."

After a stick of incense, Weekend and Li Baitian all came back.

During the weekend, two rabbits and a roe were killed, and Li Baitian picked up a large bundle of firewood.

Li Yuchun pulled out a small knife from his boots, and deftly disemboweled the rabbits and roe deer, skinned and cramped.
