Chapter 1768: Chapter 1765: Evidence

King Qi noticed that Ye Muyu didn’t ask further questions, so even the explanation he had prepared earlier was unnecessary. He nodded, “Alright, I understand. I’ll make the arrangements now.”

With King Qi’s arrangements, very soon, all the monks were gathered together.

Even the incense guests who went out to search had returned.

Madam Wang stood amidst the crowd, listening to everyone discuss the search news. Some people found a shoe, some a hairband, and some hairpins, but the locations were all a bit far apart, not places that could be reached quickly. Moreover, Miss Guo was just a twelve, thirteen-year-old girl, and didn’t seem to have much stamina.

What kind of situation would cause her to appear in so many places within a short time? It seemed unfounded, but Ye Muyu simulated various scenarios and thought of two possibilities.

Either Miss Guo was fleeing in panic, choosing a completely erratic path just to escape, tapping into an unlimited human potential. She could hypothesize that Miss Guo ran very quickly while escaping, which wasn’t unachievable.

The second possibility was that the perpetrator hid Miss Guo and took off her belongings, deliberately dropping them to distract the searchers.

This was also feasible.

Ye Muyu subconsciously glanced at some of the evidence collected.

Her gaze immediately landed on the shoe.

The embroidered shoe wasn’t big, not exactly exquisite, decorated with lotus flowers. Being just one, it showed the edges had been worn, indicating it was an old pair of shoes, with obvious signs of being worn.

The shoe surface was dusty, even inside the shoe, making it appear somewhat dirty.

Moreover, on the left side of the shoe surface, there was a thick layer of dirt. She noted it down mentally.

Seeing her focused examination, King Qi instinctively lifted his robe and squatted down beside her.

“Madam, have you discovered something?”

“Not yet, these pieces of evidence have been damaged, which will significantly impact our judgment.” Ye Muyu shook her head cautiously, “However, they might leave behind some clues. If they help find Miss Guo earlier, it would be best.”

King Qi nodded, “Madam is right. I will arrange people to search for evidence as much as possible.”

“Your Highness can help analyze these pieces of evidence.” Ye Muyu sincerely suggested, finding evidence isn’t something that can be done quickly, it is better to analyze the evidence, especially since King Qi’s people are fully mobilized to search for Miss Guo.

King Qi lightly coughed, his ears reddened, but he soon regained composure and nodded obediently, “Madam is correct.”

“I have two hypotheses, Grandfather Wang heard them earlier as well. These pieces of evidence appeared in various locations, and I have two guesses…”

Ye Muyu shared her thoughts with King Qi, “Therefore, if we’re lucky, we might be able to find evidence from these.”

“This shoe has pine leaves on it, so Miss Guo definitely wore it and appeared in Pine Leaf Forest. Moreover, looking solely at the dirt print on the left side of the shoe, it proves Miss Guo twisted her ankle when she was running, leading to these marks.”

“However, where the shoe was found, the soil is very dry, logically even if she did twist her ankle and fell, unable to put on her shoe, it wouldn’t create such a deep dirt print…” Ye Muyu seemed to be seeking King Qi’s opinion, but in fact, she treated him as someone to confide in, expanding her thinking, and reasoning in her own manner.
