After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Shi Lao pulled his sleeves together and stepped aside, sighing as he explained, "The little girl must have died a long time ago, and was abandoned in some remote wilderness. The heavy rain two days ago washed her out, and she was washed downstream with the rising stream water, and was then discovered."

The pale skin was the evidence of having been soaked in water for a long time.

Song Wenyuan pulled Yuan Ge, whose head was almost close to his body, to his side, frowned more and more, and turned to ask Shi Lao, "Can you tell how many days he has been dead?"

"It's hard to say..." Old Shi propped up his chin and calculated, "But it must have been at least four or five days. It's been too long. She's been in the water for so long that there are really few clues to find. Hey, I heard that Mr. Yin's wife has fainted from crying several times. She's the only precious daughter she got in her old age. I heard that she just found a good marriage at the beginning of this year, and they're waiting for the wedding after the New Year... Before you came, the woman lay at the door and cried for half an hour."

Yuan Ge stared at the hole with skin and flesh rolled up, and suddenly asked, "Is this girl... still a virgin?"

This was a bit abrupt. The person was dead, so why bother about this issue? Old Shi frowned slightly, but finally said in a deep voice, "Yes. The little girl was not humiliated before her death..."

Yuan Ge lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the square foot in front of her. Her fingertips tightly grasped the cloth beside her, her fingernails aching slightly... After a while, she slowly looked at Song Wenyuan, her eyes dark, her voice cold and lonely, and murmured, "Virgin blood."

Using virgin blood as a guide and rare medicinal herbs extracted using ancient methods, it can cure stubborn diseases, prolong life, and even bring the dead back to life.

No wonder most of the missing persons are unmarried girls from poor families… Even if these girls are missing, their parents rarely report it to the authorities. Even if they do, the government will not take it as seriously as it would the children of officials. If there is no result within ten days or half a month, the case will become an unsolved mystery. Over the years, it will become a dusty item in the case files.

Although Old Shi was old, he had sharp ears. He turned around and raised his voice suddenly, "Virgin blood? What's going on here? Do you mean that all the girls who are missing in the city will end up like this?!"

He had a quick temper. He had dealt with corpses a lot, and he hated evil even more. He couldn't bear to see these beautiful girls being killed. Now, looking at Song Wenyuan, he said seriously, "If this is true, I'm afraid this matter is not over yet. Instead of waiting for the next girl and the next girl to get into trouble, we should take precautions. You should remind Yao Yunfeng and have people post notices in the city asking girls not to go out alone... Even if it causes panic, it's better than a series of accidents."

Song Wenyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I know what to do."

"Hmm..." Shi Lao responded in a deep voice, and glared at Yuan Ge for a while, "And you! Knowing the danger, why don't you stay in the mansion? I have heard that you are now a big shot in this city. You were kidnapped on the street today, and assassinated at the foot of Wuxi Mountain tomorrow... Such a matter of life and death is not a joke."

When the old man was threatening people, he was quite majestic.

Yuan Ge touched his nose and explained without confidence, "The younger generations are all married, and they are looking for unmarried girls..." Before he finished speaking, he frowned...

"They have kidnapped so many girls, how can they identify them all? They just kidnap the young ones!" The old man poked her head as if he was disappointed in her, gritting his teeth and looking very fierce.

Yuan Ge's brain was poked by this, and suddenly he had an epiphany - yes, how could they know which girls in the city were married and which were still unmarried? If the previous clues were correct, the mastermind behind the scenes was a foreign girl... She was unfamiliar with the place, so how could she decide on the target? If it was really a coincidence... it was too lucky.

……

After coming out from Mr. Shi's place, Song Wenyuan went to see Yao Yunfeng, while Yuan Ge and Xu Chengjin were waiting by the carriage.

In the dark, Xu Chengjin looked at her with eyes that were obviously more direct and penetrating than before. He half-turned his body and looked at her with lowered eyebrows. "You seem to be paying special attention to this matter. The witch doctor's secret technique, the coincidence of time, Yuan Ge... Have you guessed something?"

Yuan Ge stood there with his eyebrows lowered, silent, and shook his head for a while, "Zhong Wei and I are quite familiar with each other. She is missing, so I am naturally worried."

Her brows were slightly furrowed, showing hesitation and hesitation that she herself was not aware of.

Xu Chengjin pressed his lips, "I'm not a smart person. I can't see through the expressions under those layers of masks, and I can't hear the voice-over behind the lies, but you should know that I understand you better than I understand myself... Yuan Ge, I never misunderstand your lies. After you said 'virgin blood', you almost lost your mind. Are you worried that the long-lost witch doctor's secret technique came from Zhixuan Mountain? It can cure stubborn diseases, prolong life, and bring the dead back to life... Are you worried that the old man will see your and Yuan Qi's tombstones after coming out of seclusion and lose his mind and make this heinous mistake?"

"I know what kind of person my grandfather is. He is a very upright person and would never do such dirty things..." Yuan Ge said in a quiet voice, lowering his head and sighing deeply, "I have seen a girl with a crescent-shaped red mark behind her ear in Zuihuan Tower. She was wearing a veil... Zhitao said that the girl was the only one besides Xiaorou who could go to the third floor of Zuihuan Tower. If it was her... she could easily enter my locked secret room... Nanyin, you don't know, right? That girl likes Yuanqi very much, likes him so much that she wants to take his place and follow him through thick and thin. If it was her, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

"Do you want me to go to Zhixuan Mountain?" He knew that it was inconvenient for her to show up, "It's a good opportunity to see if the old man has come out of retreat... If he has, will you tell him that I'm still alive?"

The bright sunlight sprinkled on her eyelids like broken gold. The girl closed her eyes, feeling the light shining through her eyelids. She pressed the corners of her mouth, wanting to smile, but she couldn't. She only murmured, "I look like this now... I don't even know if I am still alive."

The two leaned against the carriage, one with his eyes closed, the other just looking down at the other, completely unaware of Song Wenyuan who was walking towards them calmly with his hands behind his back. The two were so close that they even looked a little intimate. Song Wenyuan frowned slightly and listened to Xu Chengjin say, "Yuan Ge..."
