Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Officer Li smiled and nodded. He knew it. This girl was different from ordinary girls. Otherwise, why would she catch kidnappers in public?
Sure enough, Gu Yundong followed Madam Yang into the house. They boiled water, cooked, and talked.
Officer Li was also very self-aware. He went to another room and did not come out.
It was only at night that he asked Gu Yundong and her mother to stay in their room and not go out. He was on high alert.
The reason why Small Thieves were Small Thieves was because they were not very smart, so they could not even be a small leader.
Hence, when the sky turned dark at night, four of them did not disappoint others and sneaked into the courtyard. There was also one person outside.
However, in the blink of an eye, a person pounced on him from the left and right. The bandit who was acting as a lookout was taken down before he could even make a sound.
Immediately after, the officers outside the door quickly broke open the door and rushed in.
The four of them were still prying open the door of the central room when they were surrounded in the blink of an eye.
The door of the central room opened from the inside. Officer Li sneered at them. “You’re finally here.”
What? What did he mean? Could it be that the officers knew that they would come?
Could it be… that this was a trap set up by the government to lure them out?
Damn it.
The few thieves turned around and ran, but there were more officers than them, and they had come prepared. How could they let them leave?
However, thieves were different from ordinary thieves. They were indeed ruthless. They took out their daggers and started fighting with a few officers.
One of the officers had a cut on his arm, but he still took them down.
One by one, they were dragged away with their hands tied and their mouths covered. As for what happened next, it would depend on the prefecture magistrate’s ability. Perhaps he could pull out the carrots and bring them out of the mud to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Gu Yundong opened a corner of the window and saw the entire process clearly.
Officer Li was the last to leave. He glanced at the window. “I’ve disturbed Miss Gu today. Goodbye.”
Gu Yundong waved her hand. When she saw that everyone had left, she lowered the window.
The next day, she went to ask around. As she had expected, the other families did not encounter any thieves, although the officers were also lying in ambush at those places.
After this incident, even if the bandits were not all captured, they would probably think that this was a trap set by the government and not dare to act rashly.
In the next few days, Gu Yundong would sometimes go to the noticeboard to take a look. Sometimes, she would go elsewhere to inquire. She had even asked Officer Li about Gu Dajiang’s whereabouts.
Unfortunately, the government office didn’t find any information on Gu Dajiang’s household registration.
Actually, Gu Yundong had known for a long time. After all, when Qin Wenzheng agreed to help, he had hired someone to ask the authorities.
Unfortunately, there were many refugees and bandits during that period of time. How many people went missing and how many people were killed? There were countless documents missing from the government. It was very difficult to find a person in the vast sea of people.
Furthermore, the name Gu Dajiang was too common. There were several of them in the same village, so it was even more difficult to investigate.
Nowadays, Qing’an Prefecture had a lot of things to do. From the prefecture magistrate to the servants, they were all so busy that their feet didn’t touch the ground. Who had the time to help you find someone who might be dead or out of Qing’an Prefecture?
The authorities could not find anything, so Gu Yundong thought of looking for her father among the people and posting a missing person notice.
Fortunately, the vivid image attracted the attention of many people. Even those who did not often go to the notice board would curiously take a look.
In addition, she had attached a reward of ten taels of silver at the back. There would always be people who wanted to earn this money.
Thus, on this day, Gu Yundong had just eaten lunch when she finally received a clue..
