Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 370: Chapter 201: Just Different Stances! Or Perhaps the Truth? (Large Chapter, Seeking Protection)_5

The implied meaning is: Please help me quickly, I can’t take it anymore.

”I’m ready, I’ll help you solve the problem now.” Yuchi felt the impatience of the young lady and asked with a smile, ”Do you have any understanding of this person’s disappearance?”

”For example, where was the last place he appeared, or whom he met before he disappeared?”

Song Yinghan flipped through the case files and then handed one to Yuchi: ”Take a look, this is a case file I wrote. It contains all the clues I’ve gathered over time. I don’t know if it will help, but I tried my best...”

Yuchi nodded and glanced over it: ”Your handwriting is quite pretty.”

Song Yinghan the great beauty: ”Thank you!”

She smiled while looking at the case file.

There wasn’t much written in the case file, it mostly documented Song Yinghan’s investigation into Ling Huzhong’s disappearance.

Song Yinghan only knew that the missing person’s name was Ling Huzhong, and that he lived in the Celestial Capital Department of Canglan City prior to his disappearance.

[Those who knew Ling Huzhong said he was usually very quiet and reticent, so the others at the Celestial Capital Department were not familiar with him and naturally did not know where he went last. It seemed that Ling Huzhong was like a slightly more powerful introvert, with not many friends.]

Understanding this, an idea formed in Yuchi’s mind, though it could not be confirmed yet, and he continued to ponder the possibilities of what may have happened.

When Song Yinghan couldn’t help but want to ask, his finger stopped in front of her lips.

How many days have you not washed your hands? What did you touch before, how come your fingers have this strange smell? There’s even a hint of floral scent... Song Yinghan was momentarily speechless, nodding slightly, and obediently listening to the young man in front of her speak.

”Yinghan, clues themselves have no meaning, it’s the conclusions drawn from the clues that we can use.”

Yuchi stated first.

He wasn’t in this line of work in his past life, but he had some basic methods for judging situations.

The simplest is some common sense, like when a light suddenly goes out, that’s a clue. But a mere clue isn’t useful, nor is the light merely going out; spontaneously you think maybe it’s a power outage, or the bulb is broken. How do you decide? This is a further thought.

In conclusion, this is what’s meaningful in terms of decision-making.

Applying this to such issues in Canglan City, the whole process is quite similar.

”Firstly, Ling Huzhong himself is quite powerful and is from your Stargazing Platform, so he has no subjective intent to wander off, nor would he be in a situation like ’Ah, where is this, I don’t recognize the way.’”

Song Yinghan nodded obediently: I know this, it means that Ling Huzhong certainly didn’t lose his way home.

The Stargazing Platform thinks the same way.

It’s impossible for a Cultivator at Foundation Establishment level three to suddenly disappear, there must be someone behind this.

”That’s right.”

”The second point.”

”Ling Huzhong is not talkative, but since he’s from the Stargazing Platform and works at the Celestial Capital Department in Canglan City, even though he’s not talkative, it shouldn’t be an excuse for others not to notice him. It’s like seeing someone on the street crazily eating meat and acting strange, even if they don’t say a word. The person may not speak, but are their actions invisible?”

Yuchi asked Song Yinghan, when she somewhat understood but still mostly didn’t comprehend, he smiled and said:

”So regarding the second point.”

”What you wrote in the file where others are unclear about him, is it truly unclear? Or are they pretending not to know?”

Yuchi’s simple intention was this.

Being introverted can’t be an excuse to be overlooked. They all work under the same roof; even if one doesn’t speak, can others truly see nothing? Is it really possible to have no understanding at all? One must know that silence amid noise can be even more notable than the noise itself. In the proud Celestial Capital Department, being lowly can be prouder than being proud.

Everyone is smiling, then no one will notice anything strange. But when everyone is smiling except one person, wouldn’t that silent person draw extra attention? Certainly, this is when such a quiet person stands out for back-and-forth gossip.

How could they not notice? Given they are paying attention, how could they not notice any strange behavior in Ling Huzhong? Ling Huzhong just left the Stargazing Platform, could he really hide his emotions that well?

”Isn’t it potentially ostracization?” Yuchi tossed out a small conclusion that caught Song Yinghan a bit off guard.

Song Yinghan blinked at Yuchi.

She stared blankly for quite a while, wanting to say many things, but just as the words were about to come out, she forcibly swallowed them back, finally saying weakly: ”I hadn’t thought of that, I just thought someone might be harming him, but I didn’t consider the attitude of those around him.”

After speaking, she became almost like a well-trained young lady, very obedient and cautious, even breathing gently.

Yuchi chuckled, indicating to Song Yinghan she doesn’t have to be so nervous, it’s not like you did something wrong, why so tense? He continued: ”So for now, we can propose a hypothesis.”
