"Are you okay..." Zhou You came to the woman and said softly.
"It's okay...thank you." The woman's face was filled with numbness and despair, and she showed no change to Zhou You who saved her life, just like a walking zombie.
She forced her body to stand up, but found that her right foot was twisted when she fell just now, making it difficult to stand at all.
Zhou You sighed slightly: "I'd better help you."
Save people to the end and send them to the west.
"No, my home is over there..." The woman shook her head and refused, limping away while holding on to the wall.
When the woman finally returned to her small courtyard, she found that the young man who had just saved her had followed her.
"I...have no money..." The woman's mouth moved.
"You misunderstood, that's not what I meant..." Zhou You smiled, "Are you Huang Yanyan's mother?"
Upon hearing the name Huang Yanyan, the woman's numb and dull eyes instantly took on a different light.
"Who are you?" the woman asked in surprise.
"My name is Zhou You, the person who came from the Demon Slayer Department to investigate your daughter's disappearance." Zhou You took out his token.
This woman is exactly what I am looking for, Mrs. Huang.
Her daughter Huang Yanyan was the victim of the last disappearance case, and nearly three months had passed since the incident.
"The Demon Slayer...didn't someone come last month?" the woman frowned.
Zhou You sighed slightly: "The person you mentioned should be my master...but he is also missing now."
After hearing this, the woman stared blankly at the figure traveling around, overlapping with the figure of the middle-aged man in her memory.
After a while, he came back to his senses and quickly led Zhou You into the dilapidated courtyard.
This small courtyard seems to be very dilapidated, with mottled walls and things piled up haphazardly.
What surprised Zhou You was that there was actually a jujube tree planted inside.
A series of red dates hang on the jujube tree like small lanterns.
The woman took out a small bench for Zhou You to sit on.
"Actually, I want to know what questions my master asked after he found you." Zhou You said softly.
"He only asked my daughter whether she had any enemies...her birthday...and where she usually went..." the woman tried hard to remember.
"Very good, tell me again how you answered him at that time." Zhou You tried his best to make his voice gentler.
"My answer at that time..." The woman fell into memories, and she tried to think back.
"I told him at that time that Yanyan worked in a tailor shop on weekdays and never offended anyone. Her daily life was very regular. After finishing work at the tailor shop, she would walk along Xiyue Street, then through Jiulian Alley, and then return home.
I got home. But that night, I waited until dark...I didn't even wait for Yanyan to come back...I searched like crazy, but I still couldn't find her..."
Finally, the woman told Zhou You the date of birth of Huang Yanyan.
After Zhou You listened, he fell into deep thought. Huang Yanyan's birth date was very ordinary and there was nothing special about it.
Li Yan, who was involved in the previous Zhao Mansion case, was chosen because of her special fate, but this is obviously not the case for Huang Yanyan.
"Then after my master listened, did you have anything else to say?" Zhou You continued to ask.
"After asking, he left quickly, but he finally said to me that my daughter would be back soon... to reassure me..." There were tears in the woman's eyes.
"I understand." Zhou You nodded slightly.
After chatting for a few words, he said goodbye and left.
But when he was about to turn around and leave, the woman held his hand.
"Sir... I have nothing left, only these red dates... I just hope Yanyan can come back soon."
The woman's extremely skinny hands held a handful of red dates and handed them to Zhou You.
Seeing this scene, Zhou You suddenly felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
According to the file information, this woman was only a forty-year-old woman. Her husband died of illness more than ten years ago, and she did not remarry. She raised her daughter by herself. But within three months of her daughter’s disappearance, it seemed as if she suddenly disappeared.
Aged more than ten years... like an old woman in her sixties.
"I will come back...I will definitely come back." Zhou You picked up a red date, then took out a piece of silver from his body and put it in the woman's hand.
"Don't refuse. Before you see your daughter come back alive, you must at least live." Zhou You's tone was a little low.
When the woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment.
Zhou You shook his head slightly, turned around and left the dilapidated courtyard.
He came here because he wanted to copy Xu Ling's way of thinking and then copy it himself.
Xu Ling likes to find out some details from the victim before going to the government to inquire.
"When master learns about Huang Yanyan's daily route home, he will definitely try to walk it..."
Zhou You calmed down his mind a little and acted according to Xu Ling's way of thinking again.
First we walked through Jiulian Lane, then came to Xiyue Street and found the tailor shop.
Zhou You did not speed up his pace, but moved forward at the speed of a normal person.
It took about half an hour to get from the dilapidated courtyard to the tailor shop.
This time is neither short nor long...
This Xiyue Street is a main street, and there are many pedestrians on the road. He probably did not disappear on Xiyue Street.
Then only Jiulian Alley, which is remote and has complicated road conditions, is left...
For Huang Yanyan, who grew up in alleys, it would not take more than five minutes for her to walk through Jiulian Alley.
This also means that something might happen to Huang Yanyan in these five minutes...
Whether this is man-made or mysterious... Zhou You has no way to confirm yet.
Next, he visited the families of several other missing girls... but still found nothing.
Their daughters always go out one day and disappear into the sea, disappearing from the world without any news from them again.
Time has quietly arrived at sunset and dusk.
After a busy day of traveling, I had no choice but to find an inn with a stable to stay at.
inside the room.
Walk around the table, holding a brush and writing down what you learned today.
First of all, the missing people are all beautiful girls...and these people are scattered all over the huge Linjiang City, with almost no overlap.
This is not very similar to weird habits.
Weigui likes to come out to cause trouble in certain areas and rarely wanders around.
For example, in his initial trial at Feixue Villa, Wei Wei would only stay in the villa and basically would not go out.
Unless this weirdness is controlled by a demon...just like the snake guard refined by the white demon.
After thinking about it, Zhou You also sighed.
There are so many possibilities these days...
"It seems... I have to go to the government office tomorrow." Zhou You murmured.
With these hundreds of disappearances, he doesn't believe that the government hasn't found any clues?
