Capítulo 1282: Chapter 1282: Orphans
Xun Tianhai didn’t hide anything, “Yes, the Abbot discovered there is a secret chamber here, these things were all hidden inside.”
Yu Misheng followed the direction of his finger and looked over, only to find there was a hidden passage behind the bookshelf.
He walked over and glanced down, not seeing anything but a long corridor, with the pungent sll of blood lingering.
Yu Misheng frowned slightly, stepped back, and asked, “Where is Wu Jianhan?”
Xun Tianhai heard the words and exchanged a look with Bai Changfeng. Due to the ‘diplomatic relations’ between the two countries, he briefly shared the information they had with Yu Misheng.
Yu Misheng had a sense of understanding that Jiangli, Fu Shiyan, and others should have gone to Wu Jianhan’s house.
“Mr. Yu, don’t just ask us for news. You should share what you’ve learned too,” Qing Yue approached, smiling lightly, “We have a saying in ChinaCountry, ‘Reciprocate,’ Mr. Yu, you should have heard this saying, right?”
Yu Misheng looked at him, unsure why he felt a vague hostility from Qing Yue.
He didn’t take it to heart and spoke directly, “We went to the arranged inn, inquired about the tourist disappearances, and checked the identities of those tourists.”
Xun Tianhai said, “What’s there to check? Wasn’t it disclosed before?”
Yu Misheng glanced at him.
Xun Tianhai felt that he was about to roll his eyes.
But perhaps he thought rolling his eyes was impolite, so he refrained for the sake of manners.
Before Xun Tianhai could ponder further.
Yu Misheng said, “We rechecked the information of those tourists, and it seems they were all orphans.”
“Orphans?”
Bai Changfeng was surprised, “There wasn’t any record of this in the pre-competition information.”
Yu Misheng: “When my sister chatted with the innkeeper, he ntioned it casually. He said one of the missing tourists had talked to him after having a few too many drinks at the counter.”
It was a young male tourist.
The innkeeper rembered his na was Jie Xing.
It happened that they were celebrating their store’s anniversary, and the owner invited everyone in the store to gather and dance in the first-floor restaurant.
Almost everyone who ca here to tour arrived in small groups, and those who ca alone were rarer.
Jie Xing was among the few.
He ca alone, seeing others gathering and dancing in pairs or groups made him feel lonely, so he drank a few extra glasses.
The owner noticed him almost passing out at the counter.
The owner advised him to drink less, but Jie Xing said that drinking helps relieve thousands of worries.
The owner saw he seed quite sad and started chatting with him idly.
He heard Jie Xing ntion before that he was an orphan. At around ten years old, his parents died in a car accident.
He was raised by his grandmother, but shortly after coming of age, his only companion, the grandmother, also passed away due to illness.
Leaving just himself.
Jie Xing felt life was too draining, so he gave himself a break and traveled alone to Leping Town, wanting to see Laoshan and the scenery to relax.
Unexpectedly, once here, all he saw were others in groups or happy families.
He couldn’t help but feel sowhat uncomfortable.
When Yu Hezi inquired about clues, she feigned chatting casually with the innkeeper, and so words surfaced during the chat.
Upon hearing the pri group of solo orphans, Yu Misheng thought this might be a common trait among those who disappeared.
He borrowed the inn’s internet to check the Leping Town police notice regarding the missing persons.
