112 Chapter 112 Clue

On the other hand, after Elder Qiao had finished entertaining the officers, he turned around and went to his study.

The county governor waiting in the study saw him and immediately asked, “Brother Qiao, how is it? Do you have any news about Zhou Huaiming? ”

“No, nothing was left except the blood near the shore.

“Oh right, wasn’t he poisoned? Could he have died in the river?” Elder Qiao asked while shaking his head.

“That’s impossible. All the other bodies have been fished up, and he’s the only one missing. He should have resurfaced or crashed onto the shore if he’s really dead. ”

“Then could it be that his boy was entangled by the seaweed or blocked by something?”

The county governor looked at him thoughtfully and said, “That’s for the best. Tomorrow, gather some men to go into the water and search around again.

“I’ll look around and see if I can find any other clues.”

Elder Qiao replied, “I’ll make the arrangements now.”

The county governor reminded, “Remember to investigate carefully. Whether he’s alive or dead, we have to get confirmation and or control him if he’s alive. Otherwise, we’ll all die.”

“Understood.”

“Then I’ll go back now.” After the county governor finished speaking, he turned around and left the study. Then, he left the Qiao estate through the nearest exit and rushed to town.

The couple stayed at home for the next two days to make tofu as usual.

Other than taking care of Young Master Zhou, Gu Chengrui would cook some porridge to nourish his body from time to time. Other than them, he would sometimes send some to Father Gu and the rest.

All of a sudden, the couple’s popularity in the village rose.

Back to Elder Qiao, he was so anxious that he had a mouth full of blisters.

One day, when he saw the officers return empty-handed again, he became increasingly impatient as his anger grew.

However, he also knew now was not the time to be angry. So after everyone finished eating, he asked, “Officers, did you find anything unusual when you went out to look around these last few days? Please think about it carefully. ”

“Something unusual?” The constable thoughtfully replied.

“Yes, anything that you think is strange. Otherwise, a living person wouldn’t have disappeared into thin air, right?”

Constable Li looked at the other officers and commanded, “Brothers, think about it carefully. Think about anything out of the ordinary.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to recount the places that had felt wrong or where their searches hadn’t been smooth.

Some mentioned villages with too many dogs, and it was impossible to hide their tracks.

Someone lost their clothes in a village.

All sorts of news in one of the villages

Elder Qiao’s head was about to explode, but he could not find any helpful information.

The leader who had gone to Gu Chengrui’s house said, “There’s something that I find suspicious, but I can’t find anything wrong with it.”

“If there’s anything, say it. We’ll make a judgment together.” Constable Li said.

“On the first day, when we were informed to investigate the village doctor, we met more than ten people at Doctor Gu’s house in Shanghe village.

“At that time, they said they were discussing buying a ship for the clan.

“However, after we entered the house, we found that there was tea and all kinds of snacks in the house. It didn’t seem like they were talking about business.

“So, I’m thinking that they might have received some news in advance, waiting there.”

“Received news in advance? I don’t think that’s possible. We basically acted together that day.” Constable Li stated uncertainly.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Elder Qiao. After all, he was the only one in the town who had received the news in advance.

Elder Qiao was abnormally irritated by his distrustful gaze. Still, he quickly recalled his previous instructions and turned to find Qiao Mu to ask, “Did you pass down the order I previously told you to find trouble with Gu Chengrui during the search?”
