Practice Remembering You

Chapter 329 Investigating the Bai Family

Lei Chu frowned when he heard this.

I couldn't help but ask: "There have been so many murders in the village, why didn't you report it? You already know that the attacker must be a monster, so you should go to the city to report it immediately.

Only in this way will the upper city send immortals to solve the problem. As a result, a murder occurred in your city, but you have been holding back and doing nothing. If you had reported it earlier, a cultivator would have come to deal with it, and there would not be more deaths in the future!"

Lei Chu became a little excited as he spoke.

When the village chief saw this, he immediately admitted his mistake and expressed his own difficulties: "The Immortal is right, it is indeed our fault that we did not report it, but we also have our own difficulties.

Our village is really far away from the city. Only young and strong people can walk this distance. If nothing unexpected happens, the journey there will take about half a year, and the round trip will take a year.

Moreover, the journey is so long that even if a young man does not encounter a monster beast, just encountering an ordinary wild beast is enough to make him suffer. Moreover, even if he does not encounter a wild beast, there will be no shortage of accidents on the road. The risk is really too great. "

Lei Chu was originally going to say that they could wait for a trade caravan to come here and have them report what was happening here back to the upper city, but before he could say this, Lei Chu suddenly realized that this was not the Xiaoshi city area.

There is no trade with the surrounding villages, and there is no trade between villages and towns. The roads between towns are not as well built as those in Little Rock.

There are no good roads connecting them like Little Rock connects to the surrounding towns, and there are no top-notch masters patrolling the routes regularly.

So it was indeed as the village chief said, if they went to the upper city once, the danger they would encounter would be extremely great.

In addition to this, there is a more realistic and fatal point, that is, even if they really go to the upper city and report what happened in their village, it may not be resolved in the end.

After all, not all monk officials are like Zhang Yu, who takes good care of all the territories under his rule.

Lei Chu sighed, "I thought too simply. The situation in each place is different. Let me tell you, I don't have anything urgent to do recently, so I can help you investigate. However, I can only try my best to investigate carefully. As for whether I can solve the case in the end, I am not absolutely sure."

The village chief smiled happily: "Ah, we have no regrets to get the help of the immortal. No matter what the result is, we will accept it. After all, even if we report it to the city, I think the result will be the same in the end."

Lei Chu then stood up, put on his clothes and was about to go out.

Upon seeing this, the village chief immediately asked, "My Lord, is there anything you need? Just tell me. There is no need for you to do it yourself."

"I don't want to take anything, but to start investigating the problem." Lei Chu said seriously.

"Investigate now?" The village chief was stunned for a moment, looked at the dark sky outside, and said, "It's already late today. How can we let the Immortal Master work so hard? Why not do it tomorrow?"

Lei Chu shook his head: "Since I have agreed to this, I naturally cannot put it off. Besides, we immortals are different from you mortals. Sleep is not necessary. It is just a means to restore energy. The only advantage is that it is relatively comfortable. You guys have a good rest at home, and I will take care of the rest."

After saying that, Lei Chu pushed the door open and went straight to the several missing spots mentioned by the village chief.

When the village chief saw Lei Chu had gone out, he naturally had to follow him, but he was not a fool enough to just go and rest quietly when someone asked him to.

As a cultivator, Lei Chu attracted a lot of attention from the villagers. After Lei Chu came out, the pressure of his true energy naturally spread outward, so many villagers felt his actions.

Because of curiosity, almost everyone who felt the pressure came out.

When they saw that it was the Immortal, everyone became even more curious. And it was not only the Immortal who came out, the village chief and his family also followed him jogging all the way.

At this time, the direction that Lei was heading towards was Lao Bai's house. Everyone had a vague guess of what it was, so they quickly put on their clothes and followed behind.

Outside the door of Lao Bai's house, Lei Chu was standing outside, and the pressure of his true energy naturally fell inside. Lao Bai and his wife, who were already preparing to rest, felt it and were suddenly startled. They quickly put on their clothes and came out.

When the gate was opened, Lei Chu was seen standing at the front, with the village chief and many villagers following behind. This scene made Lao Bai a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to do.

At this time, the village chief spoke first: "The Immortal Master is kind. After I told him what happened in our village, the Immortal Master decided to help us investigate the matter. Now we need to go to the rooms of the missing children to check."

Hearing that the immortal wanted to help them find their child, the Bai family felt flattered and quickly invited Lei Chu into the house.

In fact, after such a long time, the Bai family already felt that their daughter was gone, but because their body had not been found, they still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

After Lei Chu entered the room, he looked at the clues in the house.

Everything here was relatively neat and tidy, and it didn't look like there was any serious resistance.

There are only two possibilities in this situation. One is that Lao Bai's daughter left voluntarily, and the other possibility is that his daughter was unable to resist the other party at all.

Considering what the village chief said before, that his daughter had such a good relationship with the young man from the neighboring village, we can rule out the option that she willingly went with someone else, and can only say that she was abducted.

Lei Chu carefully observed the surroundings and found no traces of monsters, which meant that it was definitely not a monster that did this.

After all, those that need to be isolated and killed by a small number of mortals must be monsters of a very low realm, and monsters of a low realm naturally won't have high intelligence, so it's impossible for them to have a high level of awareness to clean up everything.

Lei Chu looked around and asked in a low voice: "Before Lao Bai's daughter was harmed, were there any outsiders in your village?"

"To reply to the Immortal Master, our village can basically be regarded as a closed place. There are very few people coming and going on a normal day. Even those who come and go are all relatives in the village. As for pure outsiders, there is really no one."

Lei Chu looked at Lao Bai and asked, "Who did your family have conflicts with before?"

When the smarter villagers heard Lei Chu ask this question, they realized what Lei Chu meant, and their worries grew even stronger.
