Chapter 490 Bai Chenxiang Conducts an In-Depth Investigation! Find the Truth!

Chief Baihe frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that we must treat this matter more cautiously. This matter is of great importance and we must handle it with caution. If we make a mistake in judgment, not only may the real spies be let go, but innocent people may be wronged."

Elder Jian nodded and responded:

"What the clan leader said is absolutely true. On the one hand, we can strengthen the secret surveillance of the two suspects, and on the other hand, we can also look for more clues from other aspects. For example, investigate the relationship between these two people in the clan. Daily behavior, interpersonal relationships, etc., to see if you can find any abnormalities.”

Bai Chenxiang said thoughtfully:

"The elder is right. I can lead some tribesmen to carefully investigate their background and daily activities."

An elder reminded:

"At present, while we continue to observe these two people, we also need to strengthen surveillance on other transport team members to prevent potential spies from being discovered. During the investigation process, we must also pay attention to concealment and not let them notice, otherwise they may be To scare the snake away."

Bai Chenxiang said firmly:

"Don't worry, I will be careful."

Afterwards, Bai Chenxiang immediately organized a capable investigation team and divided it into two groups.

A comprehensive investigation into the two suspects began.

Bai Chenxiang led the investigation team to the remote community where the first suspect lived.

The environment here is simple, but the houses are arranged very regularly, and the narrow paths are winding.

The air is filled with a light smell of earth and the fragrance of crops.

From a distance, Bai Chenxiang saw an old woman hunched over, carrying a large basket of seedlings about to be inserted into the field.

She walked forward briskly, with a kind smile on her face, and said softly:

"Grandma, hello! Are you going to plant rice seedlings? I'll carry it for you. Anyway, I'm on my way!"

Bai Chenxiang said, taking off the basket from the old woman's body with her hands and putting it on her back.

The old woman raised her head, a puzzled look on her wrinkled face.

She straightened up, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her rough hands, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Oh, girl, you don't have to carry it for me. This basket is dirty. Don't ruin your beautiful clothes."

"It's okay, grandma!"

Bai Chenxiang said openly.

Bai Chenxiang carried a basket on her back and walked side by side with the old lady.

"Grandma, have you always lived in this community?" she asked seemingly casually.

The old lady nodded slightly:

"Yes, I have lived there for many years. Although this place is remote and simple, the neighbors are very kind and their lives are stable."

Bai Chenxiang pointed to a room not far away and said:

"Grandma, we want to ask you, do you know who lives in that house over there?"

The old lady squinted her eyes and looked at the direction Bai Chenxiang was pointing, and said slowly:

"Oh, you're talking about the young man in that room. I have a bit of an impression of that young man. What's wrong? Are you his wife or girlfriend?"

Bai Chenxiang waved her hands quickly and said:

"No, no, we just met him a few times and are a little curious about him. Grandma, can you tell us what kind of person he is usually like?"

The old lady smiled generously and said:

"That young man usually seems quite honest. Although he doesn't like to talk much, he always says hello to everyone he sees. Sometimes he also helps us old guys with some work. He's a pretty good young man."

Bai Chenxiang nodded slightly and continued to ask:

"Then does he have any special friends or people he hangs out with frequently?"

The old lady shook her head and said:

"I really didn't pay much attention to this. He usually walks alone, and I never saw him bring anyone back. But once, I seemed to see him talking to a person dressed strangely on the roadside. I didn’t understand what was said specifically.”

"Someone dressed strangely?"

Bai Chenxiang captured this information keenly and asked:

"Grandma, can you describe that person?"

The old woman frowned and recalled:

"Well... that man was dressed in black and wore a hat, covering most of his face. I am old and I can't see his face clearly from a distance. They separated without saying a few words."

Bai Chenxiang secretly thought that this might be an important clue.

By this time, they had arrived at the edge of the field.

Bai Chenxiang put down the basket and helped the old lady take out the seedlings.

She asked again: "Does this young man have any hobbies or places he usually goes to?"

The old lady thought for a while and said:

"He doesn't seem to have any special hobbies. He just sometimes goes for a walk in the mountains behind. As for the places he often goes to, I don't know very well."

Bai Chenxiang thanked:

"Thank you, grandma."

The old lady smiled and said:

"Thank you for nothing. I haven't had time to thank you. The little girl helped me, an old man, carry it all the way. It's so hard on you, and it has affected your time."

Bai Chenxiang replied gently:

"Grandma, this is what I should do. It is the traditional virtue of the Min clan for the younger generation to help the older generation do something! Grandma, please be busy first. I also have things to do."

The old lady held Bai Chenxiang's hand and said gratefully:

"Okay girl, go ahead! By the way, girl, what's your name?

Bai Chenxiang thought for a while and then said truthfully:

"Grandma, my name is Bai Chenxiang, you can just call me Xiang'er!"

The old lady laughed and narrowed her eyes:

"Xiang'er, come and have dinner when you have time."

Bai Chenxiang nodded happily:

"Thank you grandma, I'll leave first."

After leaving the old lady, Bai Chenxiang and the members of the investigation team came to a woodland.

Everyone gathered around and started discussing with solemn expressions.

"This strangely dressed man is probably related to the suspect. Judging from the grandmother's description, this man's behavior is very suspicious, and he has had contact with the suspect. There must be some kind of relationship between them."

One of the team members spoke first.

Bai Chenxiang nodded slightly and responded thoughtfully:

"Yes, we have to find a way to find this person. There are currently few clues about the suspect. This mysterious stranger may be the key to solving the mystery. Also, the old lady mentioned that the suspect often goes to the mountain behind the village. Maybe there are any clues on the mountain. Maybe we can find traces left by the suspect on the mountain, or find clues related to that strange person. "

"So what do we do now?"

one of the tribesmen asked.

Bai Chenxiang thought for a while and said:

"" Let's go to the mountain behind first to see if we can find some clues. The environment on the mountain is complicated. We must be careful when searching and not let go of any possible clues. Everyone should be vigilant, pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, ensure their own safety, and go all out to investigate. "

"yes!"

The members of the investigation team nodded in agreement. (End of chapter)
