Chapter 363: Chapter 364: Feng Gu Lost _1

Ye Ge escorted Nan Feng back to Spikenard Square. It was still afternoon, not quite closing time, yet the door to Spikenard Square was closed. Nan Feng murmured in puzzlement, "Why did Feng Gu close so early?"

Ye Ge then suggested, "Could it be that they’ve sold out for the day and are busy in the backyard?"

Nan Feng checked the backyard, but no one was there.

Lately Feng Gu had been living with Nan Feng in the mansion. Nan Feng thought perhaps Feng Gu had returned to the mansion, so she asked Ye Ge to return to the Yamen. She planned to check the accounts and the sold goods of these two days as she had asked Feng Gu to record how much was left and sold each day, ensuring nothing was omitted.

However, while she was going through the bills, she found only those from yesterday. Today’s records were missing.

Didn’t Feng Gu open the shop today?

Taking the chance before the neighboring clothing shop owner was closing, Nan Feng went to inquire. It turned out to be so. The clothing shop owner said Feng Gu didn’t come at all today. She also found it strange, wondering why she hadn’t warned them beforehand. Many customers were waiting to buy things today, but they had to leave disappointed in the end.

Nan Feng’s first reaction was that Feng Gu, usually a diligent worker, must’ve been delayed by something else.

But she was a little angry. No matter what happened, work should always be done first. Not opening without a word, she thought it was really irresponsible.

Nan Feng checked the goods and bills again. Apart from not opening the shop today, everything else seemed normal. So she went back to look for Feng Gu.

However, no one was at her "Nan Mansion". Instead, there was Chen Niannian’s mother, Aunt Pei, cleaning. Aunt Pei said she hadn’t seen Feng Gu all day.

Nan Feng suddenly had a bad feeling.

Feng Gu was not an insensitive girl. Even if she did return home, she would have informed Nan Feng. Could it be...accident?

When Nan Feng initially recruited Feng Gu, she had asked Feng Gu to register her family’s address. She quickly searched for the contract to find the address, and urgently went to Feng Gu’s house to look for her, but Feng Gu’s father and brother-in-law both said they hadn’t seen Feng Gu. When Feng Gu’s father heard that Feng Gu was missing, his first reaction was, "What? You lost my daughter?"

"If my daughter is lost, you owe me at least five taels of silver, because we agreed on ten taels of silver initially, but you insisted on paying monthly wages."

"..."

Nan Feng found it absurd. Her daughter was missing and he did not worry about her safety, only about not getting the silver.

After exiting from Feng Gu’s house, for some reason, she suddenly remembered the refugees she had met on the road back from Qingshui town. They claimed their daughter was missing - fifteen years old, while Feng Gu was thirteen.

Could Feng Gu have been taken by the same group?

With this thought, Nan Feng hurriedly went to the Yamen to find Ye Ge.

However, she ran into Ye Ge just outside the Yamen. He had changed into his guard uniform. Nan Feng quickly moved forward and told Ye Ge: "Ye Ge, Feng Gu is missing."

"Feng Gu has also disappeared?" Ye Ge was somewhat surprised.

"Also?" Nan Feng thought her guess might have been right.

"As soon as I got back to the Yamen, I heard that there have been several cases of missing young girls in the past few days. It’s not just the city - there have also been several cases in the towns. All of the missing are unmarried girls. I am about to investigate this case."

Nan Feng quickly asked, "Do you have any leads?"

"Now we’re going to canvass, looking for any witnesses or suspicious people."
