Medicinal families were different from martial families, they could jump out of their territories and open up their own branches and leaves at will. Moreover, no one would reject them, on the contrary, they would be treated as important guests by the local powers, receiving preferential treatment, and this was the way Xiao Family.

Now that the Luo Family was almost severed from the Ningyang branch, if Xiao Family was implicated again, if these two great medicinal pellet families were to sin at the same time, it was likely that even Princess Pine Wind County would not be able to endure.

How could Hong Yang not understand this logic? As a constable, he had clues but was unable to investigate, which made him feel helpless. He could only sigh in his heart and silently leave.

Actually, there was something else in Hong Yang's mind that made him suspicious, but he resisted the urge to ask.

Capturing thieves was the responsibility of the constable, so why did Gu Changdong allow them to find the whereabouts of Luo Qingyao instead of letting them gather information? Could it be that a constable who had been a constable for many years could not compare to the constable that was born in the Black Armoured Army?

Hong Yang's thoughts were in a mess as he left the City Lord's Mansion. Outside the manor, Fang Qian and the others had long been ready to go.

The moment Fang Qian saw Hong Yang slowly approaching, the resentment in his heart soared. "Hong Yang, the City Lord has set a time limit of three days, yet you are wasting your time here. If you miss your job, you can be punished, but you better not implicate the rest of the brothers. "

Hong Yang scoffed at Fang Qian's reprimand, and didn't even bother to give him another glance. He walked to the front of the crowd and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He paced back and forth as if he was talking to himself: "Luo Qingyao, eighteen years old. However, there were a few assassins who did not know, but one thing was certain, if they wanted to kill Luo Qingyao, it would be as easy as flipping their hand. Now that Luo Qingyao is dead, I can't see him, I can't see her corpse … "

"Enough!"

Fang Qian interrupted Hong Yang: "We all know what you are saying, there's no need for you to repeat yourself, time is limited, why aren't you looking for me?"

"Shut up!"

Hong Yang turned and roared, he stared straight at Fang Qian, his gaze was extremely terrifying: "If you don't want to hear it, then scram."

Fang Qian's lips trembled, he opened his mouth but no words came out, his face was once again the color of a pig's liver.

Han Qing laughed, tilted his head and teased the sky, "I remember once when I went out of the city to hunt with the City Lord, I didn't find any prey for a long time. Luckily, I heard a wild chicken crowing in the grass, otherwise I would have left empty-handed."

"Han Qing!" "You …"

Fang Qian was infuriated, he slapped his palm and the handle of his blade was pushed into the palm of his hand.

"Alright, alright, let's not argue anymore. We don't have any leads right now, and Constable Hong has always been meticulous in his thoughts. Let's hear what he has to say."

Geng Zhong furrowed his brows, persuading him from the side.

Hong Yang coldly glanced at Fang Qian and continued: "According to the results of the autopsy, the time of death of the victim is less than four hours. With this kind of calculation, the murder case happened right before the end of time. At that time, there were very few people entering and exiting the Ningyang. If Luo Qingyao were to leave the Ningyang alone, she would definitely be seen by the city guards. From what I have heard, the four city guards have never seen Luo Qingyao before. Which is to say that Luo Qingyao has not left the city on her own, and has not seen Luo Qingyao leaving her Ningyang City either. "

"Yes."

Han Qing and the rest nodded in thought.

Hong Yang continued to speak: "Let's assume the whereabouts of Luo Qingyao. One, she was kidnapped by an assassin. With the strength of an assassin, it was easy to take Luo Qingyao away without anyone noticing. If that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it. However, judging from the way the killer did things, he didn't seem to have that reason. Second, Luo Qingyao did not leave the Luo Palace. Instead, she hid somewhere within the Luo Palace. She had escaped this calamity. But if everyone was killed in an instant, how could she live a single life? This was very puzzling. Destroyed by the body. I don't think that's possible. If she destroyed the corpse and erased the evidence, why would Luo Qingyao be the only one to do so? "Therefore, I think the second possibility is the most likely. Of course, it's only a possibility. Which one of you would be willing to search the Luo Residence with me again?"

"I'll go."

"Me!"

"I'll go too."

Han Qing, Geng Zhong and Gong Liang all responded, while only Fang Qian lowered his head in silence.

Hong Yang smiled and nodded: "There is no need for so many people. I am only assuming that Luo Qingyao has escaped from the Luo Residence. Constable Gong, you can use the Luo Residence as the center to look around for clues. "

No one had any objections and immediately led their men to separate themselves into two.

The Luo Residence was huge, with pavilions and pavilions everywhere. There were gardens and bridges everywhere, and there were more than a hundred different kinds of houses.

Hong Yang led his men to search Luo Qingyao's room, but to no avail. However, judging from the situation at the scene, it seemed that Luo Qingyao was not in her room that night. Because from the ashes in the furnace, it could be judged to be ordinary charcoal. According to her experience, this kind of charcoal would only be used in girls' houses in order to increase the room temperature quickly. Before the young miss returned to her room, she would change it to a special type of charcoal, which meant that Luo Qingyao had not come back yet and was in another room.

Following that, Hong Yang and the rest searched through the residences, study, treasury, tea room, and living room, but they still could not find anything.

The three constable met in front of a pond in the Luo Mansion. Due to the cold weather, the pond had long been frozen and there was still a layer of snow on the surface of the ice. Han Qing sucked in a mouthful of teeth as he said, "Fuck, we just need to demolish the house. Where did Miss Luo Family hide?"

Geng Zhong muttered to himself irresolutely, "Maybe he really was kidnapped by an assassin."

Han Qing was disdainful, "With a cultivation as tall as an assassin, there's no need to cause such a commotion if you want to steal Luo Qingyao away, right?"

"Then …" Geng Zhong turned his gaze towards Hong Yang.

Hong Yang didn't have any good ideas now, because they had to be searched meticulously. Under the bed, in the cabinet, on the beams, on the floor, and even by himself, so as to not miss the secret room.

Just as the three were deep in thought, a subordinate suddenly ran over and gasped for breath, "Three esteemed heads, the city lord has ordered us to leave the Luo Mansion immediately. The Black Armoured Army will take over this place and the Luo Mansion will be sealed.

Han Qing glared at him. "What does City Lord mean?! He anxiously told us to find Luo Qingyao and not to go there, the Black Armoured Army is used for f * * king war, for this kind of fine work like peeling cocoons and fishing for needles, can they even do it?! "

Geng Zhong couldn't help but poke Han Qing's waist and say, "Forget it, the Mayor has his reasons for making this decision." Moreover, Black Armoured Army is just a place to be looked after, we, the pawns, just need to follow orders. "

Han Qing shook his head, "I'm not talking about this place. Searching for the killer's clues should have been left to us men. I see that the Mayor is a bit distracted today."

Hong Yang looked up at Han Qing, expressing his agreement with her.

Geng Zhong waved his hands and said, "Ok, got it. You may leave now."

After his subordinate left, Geng Zhong lowered his voice and said, "Constable Han, this is actually good for us too. If something happens, we can just push it to Black Armoured Army. Besides, that cultivation is unfathomable. Even if we find some clues, what can we do? I might even lose my life. "

Hearing this, Han Qing swallowed his saliva and didn't say anything.
