Old Yang sighed upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Yang Chuxia didn’t say much and left the room, anyway, she wouldn’t get involved in the matters of the fourth branch of the family easily.
Yang Dachuan and Yang Dayong didn’t co back until they had their dinner.
"Dad, what happened?" When Yang Dachuan entered the room, Yang Chuxia anxiously asked.
"We handed the man over to Constable Hong. There are so findings on his end, and it seems that the rituals are indeed involved. But according to Constable Hong, the people had already run away when they went to catch them."
"Ran away?" Yang Chuxia wondered how the ritual master could be so resourceful. Even if she caused a commotion in the town by catching the thief, there was no way the ritual master could know it in advance. "What about the girls they kidnapped?"
Yang Dachuan scratched his head and said, "I don’t know, Constable Hong didn’t say anything."
"Xiaxia, I think this is not sothing a small ritual master can handle." Ye Zi’an suddenly spoke up.
"You an, there’s soone else behind the ritual master?"
Ye Zi’an nodded, "To be able to kidnap so many girls in Quanya County and not get caught, it’s definitely not sothing a small ritual master can do. Just like that coachman, he’s no ordinary person and not soone a re ritual master can command."
Yang Chuxia thought about it and agreed, the coachman’s skills were pretty impressive, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been chasing him for so long.
Since that’s the case, she’d better not ddle in this matter anymore. If she brings trouble upon herself and her family, that would be a disaster. This era is not as law-abiding as modern society. She has a family to look after, and she can’t afford to be reckless.
Having heard this, Yang Dachuan said, "By the way, Constable Hong asked to tell you not to inquire about this matter anymore. He’ll inform you when there’s a result on his side. He also said that when you have free ti, you should visit his wife in the town. Sotis he’s not at ho, and his wife is alone, so you’re supposed to keep her company and talk with her when you can."
Yang Chuxia looked at Yang Dachuan, "Dad, did Constable Hong really say that?"
"Yes, he said that." Yang Dachuan nodded.
Once she confird that it was Constable Hong who said it, Yang Chuxia felt a bit strange, and her intuition about danger also erged.
It seems that this matter is really not as simple as Brother An said. Constable Hong is probably worried about his wife’s safety when he’s away investigating cases, so he wants her to visit his wife frequently.
It’s not hard to understand why Constable Hong said that. As far as she knew, Constable Hong had no close relatives, and his wife’s family was quite far from Wangquan Town, so it’s hard for them to take care of her. That’s why he thought of her, although their relationship isn’t close enough for mutual trust, so he only ntioned it casually.
Yang Chuxia thought about it and shared her thoughts with Ye Zi’an. Ye Zi’an said, "It’s easy to handle. Since I go to the town every other day, you can just give sothing small every day to take and give to Aunt Hong. I’ll also check up on her while I’m there."
"You are really smart. Later, you should tell Shopkeeper Li about this too. Since he spends more ti in the town, ask him to help keep an eye on her."
Ye Zi’an nodded, "Alright, it’s not difficult. Shopkeeper Li is kind-hearted, and Constable Hong is doing such good deeds for the people. He would definitely agree. I’ll talk to him tomorrow."
"Well, there’s nothing else to discuss, so let’s all go to bed early." Yang Dachuan said when the conversation seed to be winding down.
Ms. Wang still hadn’t gone to bed at this ti. It was already late at night, and she said to Brother An, "Qingrui is sleepy, so I let him go to bed first. You don’t have to go ho tonight, just sleep here in the sa room as Qingrui."
