Chapter 357 The incredible disappearance case!

Although Di Renjie was still young, he showed extraordinary wisdom.

Wu Meiniang's love for him was beyond words, it was pure doting of an older sister for her younger brother.

This young man's intelligence enabled him to skillfully dispel the mystery and reveal the truth every time he dealt with many difficult cases in Chang'an County with his sharp thinking and unique analytical ability.

It is also because of this that Wu Meiniang's trust in him grew stronger and stronger.

Di Renjie raised his eyes slightly and glanced calmly at Wu Meiniang, who was full of suspicion. After a pause, he said calmly, "Sister Wu, judging from the current situation, the first possibility is that these people were secretly taken away by the court."

"Perhaps they were inadvertently involved in some court secrets, or violated some undisclosed law, forcing the court to take secret action."

"In this way, Chang'an City's defense forces will be informed in advance and aware of the hidden situation, so they will naturally not stop it."

"But now, considering the immense pressure being placed on us, if this were truly the work of the imperial court, why would they be so eager to order us to investigate?"

"So this is clearly not the court's intention. After ruling out this possibility, only the second one remains."

He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and thought.

"These people have never appeared in the streets of Chang'an. They are currently hiding in the hidden corners of Chang'an City. As for why they are hiding, I have not yet been able to find the exact reason."

When Wu Meiniang heard Di Renjie's words, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, her face full of confusion. She couldn't help but ask, "How can you be sure that they are hiding and not murdered by someone unexpectedly?"

"Sister Wu, because there is no movement."

Di Renjie responded calmly.

"No movement?" Wu Meiniang subconsciously repeated his words with a hint of doubt in her voice.

"That's right!" Di Renjie nodded vigorously with a firm look.

"Because there was no movement."

"In fact, my investigations have revealed that it's not just these seven officials who have disappeared. Often, one or two other people in their families have also vanished. These people could be loyal old servants, wives who have been with them for many years, or even blood brothers."

"Moreover, there was not a single case where a single official disappeared; in each case, they disappeared along with their family members or subordinates."

"Sister Wu, think about it. If they were murdered, there would be blood everywhere at the murder scene. The murderer would have to go to great lengths to dispose of the bodies and try every possible means to conceal their presence."

"But now, their neighbors all say they didn't notice anything unusual during those few days, nor did they see any suspicious people or signs."

Wu Meiniang blinked, a hint of curiosity suddenly welling up in her heart. She asked tentatively, "Is it possible that those martial arts masters, seeking revenge, quietly took the person away?"

Di Renjie shook his head slightly, his hands behind his back, and explained methodically, "Sister Wu, are you talking about those martial artists with special skills who, with their superb martial arts, can knock people unconscious in an instant with lightning speed, and then carry them away without anyone noticing?"

"Sister Wu, please listen to my detailed analysis. Accomplishing this is by no means an easy task."

"The strength of one person alone is far from enough. It requires a group of people to work together in harmony. Moreover, these people must be experienced and cautious."

"But even so, in the heavily guarded city of Chang'an, such a large-scale and rapid operation would inevitably attract attention."

"So the possibility is very small."

Wu Meiniang listened attentively to Di Renjie's detailed analysis, secretly agreed in her heart, and nodded slightly.

Indeed, in Chang'an City, which is patrolled by the Jinyiwei, trying to accomplish such a difficult task is as difficult as climbing to the sky with bare hands.

"So, there is only one possibility left now!"

Di Renjie said seriously, with understanding in his eyes.

"What is the possibility?" Wu Meiniang stared at Di Renjie eagerly, her eyes full of expectation.

"The person who took them away must be someone they trusted the most, perhaps a close friend of many years, or perhaps a close official in the same court."

"Because he was the person they trusted the most, these officials followed him without any precautions."

"Only in this way can we avoid attracting attention as much as possible and avoid arousing suspicion from the outside world."

"And I suspect that those who disappeared with them took advantage of their trust and took them away."

"And those who were taken away are most likely hiding somewhere secret in Chang'an City right now."

After hearing this, Wu Meiniang pondered for a moment and slowly shook her head, "Xiao Di, this is wrong!"

Seeing this, Di Renjie looked up in confusion, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Xiao Di, according to your deduction, if this is the case, then the Jinyiwei will definitely notice it!"

Wu Meiniang raised her voice and spoke in a firm tone.

"Think about it, if a group of people were traveling around the city with missing officials, how could they escape the attention of the Imperial Guards, even if they acted in a low-key manner?"

"In that case, there's no need for us to go to such great lengths to investigate! The answer is already clearly before the Imperial Guards!"

Wu Meiniang paused slightly, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of inspiration passed through her mind.

"So, they must have disappeared in their own house! There's no other possibility!"

When Di Renjie heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sister Wu, that makes sense! Without further ado, let's head over to their house and investigate. We'll search thoroughly inside and out, and I'm sure we'll find some clues we've missed!"

“Maybe those officials are really hidden in their own mansion!”
