There was no one in the corridor, and there was no movement.

He stayed where he was for a while, then turned and returned to the house.

After closing the door, he turned on the light.

Seeing that Huangfu Liyue was still looking at the door, he sat by the bed and said, "There is no one outside."

Huangfu Liyue didn't seem to believe it, she wanted to get up to check it herself, but was stopped by him.

"It's cold at night, don't go out, there is really no one."

"But I did hear footsteps just now."

"Maybe someone walked into the wrong room."

This explanation was barely acceptable to her.

"Okay, I won't watch it anymore, let's go to sleep."

The two hugged each other and fell asleep.

After turning off the lights, her eyes never closed.

Mu Jingchen felt her restless movement in his arms, and asked, "Can't sleep?"

"Well, I went to bed early at night, and now I'm not dozing off."

"Then I'll chat with you."

She leaned into his arms: "Okay."

The two lowered their voices and chatted.

At this moment, in the corridor outside, a human head suddenly protruded from the corner.

She stared sneakily at their room, thinking about something.

……

Early the next morning.

Wu Guixiang delivered meals as usual.

"Sir, girl, eat slowly, and I will clean up later."

Huangfu Liyue glanced at the dishes on the table, and stopped her: "Is this another dish for us?"

In the past, their breakfast standard was four dishes and one soup, plus fruit and other snacks.

Originally, these were already rich enough, but today's dishes seem to be more.

Wu Guixiang nodded.

"My mother-in-law said that as you get older, you need more nutrition, so I added some dishes for you."

"Thank you, Auntie Cheng, but there are only two of us, and we can't eat that much, so we don't need to add extra food for us in the future, normal standards are fine."

"Okay, I'll tell my mother-in-law later."

Seeing Cheng Cui taking care of her like this, Huangfu Liyue asked casually: "By the way, has your husband gone for a physical examination?"

Wu Guixiang was a little confused: "Why did he go for a physical examination?"

"Didn't your mother-in-law force you to drink those decoctions that help you get pregnant some time ago? At that time, I checked your body and found that you can conceive normally. The problem is your husband. I told your mother-in-law about it. She didn't Tell you?"

"Is there something wrong with Jin Gui's body?"

Although Wu Guixiang suspected it, and Huangfu Liyue mentioned it to her, but under the daily oppression and humiliation of her mother-in-law, she had long forgotten about it and only thought it was her own problem.

Huangfu Liyue nodded in confirmation.

"There is a 90.00% chance that it is his cause. You will have to go for a full-body examination to find out what the specific problem is."

Hearing this, Wu Guixiang covered her mouth and cried bitterly.

Confused, she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just feel aggrieved. After being married to Jingui for so many years, my mother-in-law has always blamed me for not being able to have children."

"Aunt Cheng's thinking is a bit feudal. You should tell her well that if you want a child, you should ask your husband to have a check-up as soon as possible."

"Well, I see."

With Huangfu Liyue's diagnosis, she also gained confidence.

After leaving, he went directly to the room to find Cheng Cui.

Cheng Cui just woke up, combing her hair in front of the mirror, and putting a gold earring to her ear for gestures.

"mom."

Wu Guixiang obediently walked to her side, summoned up her courage and said, "The girl who knows how to treat me just now told me that I haven't been pregnant, it's Jingui's problem."

Cheng Cui patted the wooden comb on the dressing table and turned to look at her viciously.

"How can it be a man's problem if you can't have a baby? It's because you don't live up to your expectations!"

"Mom, no, the girl said... ah..."

In the middle of speaking, Cheng Cui stood up and twisted her arm with her hand: "What are you talking about? What she says as an outsider has more authority than me, right?"

"No, Mom..."

Wu Guixiang ran away with her head in her arms, begging for mercy: "I was wrong, please don't screw it up."

Only then did Cheng Cui let go of her hand, and said sharply, "If you say something like that from your mouth again, see if I can't beat you to death!"

Wu Guixiang burst into tears, endured the grievance and nodded.

……

Two days later.

The old lady's homestay was sealed and no one else was allowed to approach.

Neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood gathered around to watch the excitement.

"Is it confirmed that the old woman did it?"

"It should be, otherwise why would the homestay be closed?"

"This damn old woman, did she really use magic to take those unborn children to prolong their lives?"

Huangfu Liyue went through the crowd, came to the front, and stopped the police who were about to leave.

"Excuse me, was the missing passenger really killed by that old woman?"

"There is no direct evidence yet, but based on the information we have, she is the prime suspect."

"If no definite evidence can be found, what will happen to the old woman?"

Her question really overwhelmed them.

"Although there is no direct evidence, the witnesses of those around who have seen the passenger can prove that the mother-in-law was the last person the missing passenger came into contact with.

Also, under the guidance of police dogs, we dug up the clothes of the missing travelers in the backyard of this hotel. Only the old woman lived in this hotel. There is no doubt that she did it.

All the evidence now points to the mother-in-law, but she herself refuses to admit it, and the missing passengers are neither alive nor dead, so she can only be detained temporarily until the passengers are found. "

The police did not hide anything, and told her the truth about the current situation, which was equivalent to informing the people here.

"The old lady is so old, what is she trying to harm those tourists?"

What Huangfu Liyue asked was exactly what the police couldn't figure out.

"We also want to know, and we have asked the mother-in-law many times, but she said no harm every time."

"Is it possible that it's really not her?"

The policeman shook his head: "All criminals refuse to admit their crimes until they plead guilty. Although she is old, we all treat her equally. When there is news, it will be announced. Just wait patiently."

After speaking, they left here.

Huangfu Liyue looked at the seal at the door of the hotel, but couldn't think of the mother-in-law as a murderer.

"The old lady buried the bloody clothes in the yard. She must have wanted to destroy the corpses. However, even if those few living people were killed, the corpses would not disappear, would they?"

"Could the old woman also be buried in the yard?"

"How is it possible? If the body is also in the yard, why can't the police dogs find it?"

The onlookers all straightened their necks, trying to look at the courtyard inside through the gate of the hotel.

What they discussed was exactly what Huangfu Liyue wanted to know.

Even if those people were killed, where did the bodies go?
