Chapter 2670 — No One Found
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao found it odd that Shen Yushu knew her illness required that particular herb, but Shen Yushu was always doing strange, unexpected things, so he was not surprised. Since she did not explain, he did not press her; in any case, the merchant came recommended by Wang Xinyan's father, so there should be no problem.
This matter drew Wang Xinyan in as well, but once she understood the situation, she was glad to help. What left her conflicted was Gu Mengyao's wish for her to become the first wife in Tang Zhi's place—she truly could not do that. Tang Zhi was barred from acknowledging Wei Zhao because of the bonds of the ancient sect, and was not Wang Xinyan in the same position?
Owing to Kang Jingming's standing in the Xuandan Sect, she truly had no way to be openly with Wei Zhao; that too would only harm him. So Wang Xinyan was torn—should she confess to Gu Mengyao and reveal her own difficulties?
Be that as it may, Kang Xiaofeng duly set off for Snow Valley with Xiaofen and Liu Xinlan. He went bearing Shen Yushu's task and a great many questions to ask in private; but the happiest of all were Xiaofen and Liu Xinlan. Both had been Tang Zhi's close friends since childhood, and now that Tang Zhi had gone, they missed her terribly. The chance to visit her filled them with excitement.
Early one morning, a detective from overseas arrived at the Songshan City Police Bureau. Tang Yuqi was famous abroad, and some in the bureau knew his name, having seen on television the cases he had solved; they held the man in considerable admiration. So when he suddenly turned up at the Songshan City Police Bureau, everyone was puzzled, assuming he must be investigating some case.
But when Tang Yuqi explained the purpose of his visit, everyone was astonished. They had never imagined that the famous detective Tang Yuqi's hometown was Songshan City, or that the reason for his visit was to find his uncle!
"Tang Jucheng—that name does sound familiar. Hmm... now I remember. Captain Song handled a case involving his family once!" The speaker was the new head of criminal investigation at the Songshan City Police Bureau, a man surnamed Zhang who had formerly served under Qiu Lingshan.
"Oh? His family was involved in a case?" Tang Yuqi's expression changed, and he asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Tang Yuqi was a detective; naturally he knew that any case serious enough for the criminal investigation unit to handle could not be a small one. So he grew tense—surely nothing terrible had happened?
"Ha ha, don't be alarmed. It was nothing major—just that Tang Jucheng's daughter was injured in a violent demolition case. A piece of falling tile from the house struck her head, but she's fine now." Captain Zhang explained.
