It seems that going out these days is not a good idea.
Upon returning to the Tavern, they informed Yue about the situation.
"Did you hear what the deceased was called?" Yue asked.
"It seems to have the surname Yue as well? That might be the pronunciation," Sang Qingxiao replied uncertainly.
"Yue? Has the Government dispatched many people? Could it be that character 'Yue'? This is bad; the Prefect of Huzhou has the surname Yue. Could it be something happened to their family?"
They exchanged glances, realizing that with such a large commotion, it might indeed be related to them.
Yue quickly made a decision. The Yue Governor was not known for his good temperament, so it would be best for the Tavern to close its doors for a few days. "You all should stay in as well; we'll wait until things settle down."
They hurriedly agreed and helped Yue tidy up the shop.
After finishing, Yue asked, "It seems like you're missing someone?"
"He went out on an errand; hasn't the Shopkeeper seen him return?"
Yue shook his head.
They rushed to the backyard to look for him but found no sign of him.
Sang Qingxiao couldn't help but speculate, "Could that person's death be related to Qi Xiaomian?"
This was troublesome.
As the moon reached its zenith, Qi Xiaomian still had not returned. Meanwhile, the commotion outside grew louder and louder.
Li Cu transformed into a cat and went out to gather information. When he returned, he said, "It turns out that the deceased was indeed the son of the Yue Governor. The area is now under martial law, and Officers are kicking down doors and searching house by house."
Kicking down doors at this time? Were they looking for evidence pointing to a murderer?
Li Cu shook his head. "They haven't found anything; with such a ruckus, it's likely just for show to impress the Yue Governor."
As for this case, it was quite bizarre. According to what the Officers said, when that man died, he was wearing a bright red wedding gown.
"A wedding gown? A male bride? Now that's interesting! What are people saying outside?"
Li Cu continued, "In recent years, there have been reports from surrounding counties of men disappearing, only to be found later as corpses dressed in red wedding gowns. This is actually the first occurrence of a red Wedding Dress Case in Huzhou City."
"I just happened to overhear a few families discussing this while I was eavesdropping by the window; we’ll need more time to investigate further."
"Since this is the Red Wedding Dress Case that has already occurred in other counties, it shouldn't have anything to do with Qi Xiaomian, right?" Sang Qingxiao asked uncertainly.
Li Cu shrugged. "Who knows? It's all so mysterious. When I went out, I specifically looked for him everywhere, but I didn't see a trace of him. Do you need me to go out and look again?"
Sang Qingxiao shook her head. "No need. Didn't you say that someone is currently searching house by house? We have a record of our entry into the city; we've already been tracked once, we can't afford to be tracked again."
