Chapter 1770: Chapter 1767: Gone

“Can you rationally throw something to tell the killer behind her location.”

“Previously, considering that she unintentionally dropped these things was justified, but now, with this sachet among the clips, the possibility is very small. The sachet from the Buddhist Light Temple intentionally has a tight knot; once worn, it won’t be removed the same day. This is also a custom of the Buddhist Light Temple.”

“So, dropping this sachet unintentionally is impossible, it must have been deliberately taken off…”

“Wait, if you say it like that, there’s another possibility.” Ye Muyu took a deep breath: “If the killer knows this, why use the sachet as bait? I met Miss Guo before noon; although she was simply dressed, she still had a handkerchief that hadn’t been used, and even a spare pair of shoes.”

“The killer doesn’t need to create such a big loophole for us.”

King Qi nodded cautiously, picking up a stone from the ground to draw a large circle representing the entire Buddhist Light Temple, then marking each location where evidence appeared.

After Ye Muyu looked, she said: “Suppose all the things were thrown by Miss Guo herself; then we can draw a line showing the place where she most likely disappeared is…”

Ye Muyu made a decisive move, pointing to the northwest direction; King Qi spoke: “The viewing platform!”

“Correct.” Ye Muyu nodded.

King Qi’s spirit focused; he stood up and quickly instructed the two guards at his side to rush to the viewing platform.

“If these things were first thrown by Miss Guo and then by the killer.”

“Then, the two places where the hairpin and sachet appeared, Miss Guo can’t go, the nearest place to the hairpin is the slope where the embroidered shoes were found.”

“Correct.” King Qi glanced at the Pine Leaf Forest ahead: “Is there any possibility in the Pine Leaf Forest?”

“We still need to look at this pair of shoes.”

Ye Muyu looked at the shoes; this time, she didn’t miss any details. After observing the shoes, her gaze turned to the other pieces of evidence.

Suddenly, her vision stopped at the hairpin.

“This hairpin… It can be confirmed that it broke from being thrown forcefully, but there’s no condition nearby the hairpin that would cover the pearls with clay. Besides, this one pearl has a gap with soil in it, the nearby hairpin is clean, and even the sharp parts of the hairpin have no soil. Therefore, this hairpin likely got covered in soil when Miss Guo fell, similar to the mud marks on the shoes.” Ye Muyu explained her analysis in one breath.

Next to her, King Qi listened completely without any analysis himself. He nodded lightly: “This possibility is great, so Miss Guo must have appeared in the Pine Leaf Forest, but there’s no evidence to prove whether she disappeared in the Pine Leaf Forest or on the slope.”

Ye Muyu knew that too; she could only continue searching for evidence.

She decisively focused her attention on a piece of evidence in front of the shoes—a handkerchief, except this handkerchief had writing on it, clearly belonging to Miss Guo.

The handkerchief was clean, not stained with soil, just snagged by tree leaves, judging by the marks, it was hastily snagged out, the likelihood of it being intentional was very small.

Once again, she directed her attention to the shoes.

Just as she was about to recheck the evidence.

A voice suddenly came from behind, Madam Wang’s: “Third Brother’s Wife, well, Abo is missing, I need to find him.”

“How could Abo be missing?” Ye Muyu frowned; she always thought Chu Bo and Chu Fu had returned: “Where is Afu?”

“Afu returned, and he said they separated behind.”
