C347 Disappearance of the girl (2/2)
”Oh right, Feng Mayor, I heard that young girls are disappearing frequently at such a young age in Giant Palace City. I wonder if it has something to do with Shangguan Yang, who has just arrived in Giant Palace City?” Lin Hao casually mentioned it.
Feng Xingyuan immediately regained his senses, with a stern expression on his face, he said: ”Young Master Lin, I have already arranged for people to investigate this matter. Before there is sufficient evidence, it would not be good for them to come to a conclusion.”
Young Master Lin, I know that you enjoy using the sword, but coincidentally, a while ago, I collected a set of Level Six Treasure Sword. Since I don't have any use for it, I will gift it to you as a thank you for taking care of my son Dongyu. Feng Xingyuan changed the topic and changed the topic.
Lin Hao nodded, and together with Feng Xingyuan, headed towards the City Lord'S Mansion's treasury.
In the treasury, there was indeed a Level Six Treasure Sword, so Lin Hao was not too polite. Originally, his Destiny Sword Formation already had twenty-seven, but after taking care of the Cadaveric Ghost, he had lost nine.
”Feng Mayor, there is no one else here. If you have anything you want to say, just say it.” Lin Hao said as he looked at Feng Xingyuan.
Feng Xingyuan sighed.
”Young Master Lin, you might not know this, but this Shangguan Yang is the eldest son of the Shangguan Family of one of the four great families that have sprung up in the Eastern Origin Realm, and we really cannot afford to offend him. As for what has happened in the city recently, I have found some clues, but I do not dare to continue investigating.” At this time, Feng Xingyuan's face also revealed a helpless expression.
Lin Hao nodded, he knew Feng Xingyuan's concerns. Shangguan Family was a huge power to anyone in the Eastern Origin Realm, something he couldn't afford to offend.
”In that case, Feng Mayor has already grasped the evidence. This matter was done by them, right?” Lin Hao said.
Feng Xingyuan was silent for a moment, then said: ”Although I do not have any direct evidence to prove that Shangguan Yang was the one who did this, but I found out the whereabouts of those missing women, they … All dead! ”
”Also, their state of death was extremely miserable. After they died, their bodies suffered from humiliation, and I was worried that if this matter were to be spread out, it would cause panic among everyone in the Giant Palace City. Thus, I suppressed the matter and did not announce it.”
”I have buried all of those corpses in secret. This is something I found in one of the corpses.” Feng Xingyuan said as he took out a jade pendant from his storage ring.
”This jade pendant is?” Lin Hao took the jade pendant, and looked at it. Although the jade pendant was carved beautifully, there was nothing special about it.
”Young Master Lin might not know this, but after Shangguan Yang came to the Giant Palace City, I personally paid a visit to him. I saw this jade pendant on his carriage!”
Lin Hao nodded. Speaking of which, this matter, was most likely related to this Shangguan Yang.
Shangguan Yang should be here to investigate the matter of Shangguan Ji's death.
Originally, Lin Hao felt that he was being a little passive and did not think of a good plan to deal with it.
This time, he had a plan in mind.
Not only would it stop Shangguan Yang from continuing his investigation, it would also ruin his reputation and cause the profound strength backing him to be greatly affected!
”Feng Mayor, this jade pendant, can you give it to me?” Lin Hao said.
Feng Xingyuan nodded, and said: ”Young Master Lin, if you want to investigate this matter, listen to my advice. People you cannot afford to offend, for the time being, don't provoke them in order to avoid harming yourself.”
”Don't worry, Feng Mayor, I know what I'm doing.” Lin Hao kept the jade pendant carefully. Although this jade pendant did not directly prove that Shangguan Yang was involved in the countless girls disappearing from the Giant Palace City, it was still evidence. Gathering all of them together would not cause any harm.
The two of them walked out of the City Lord'S Mansion treasury, and just as Lin Hao was about to take his leave, one of the City Lord'S Mansion guards suddenly rushed over to Feng Xingyuan, and said: ”Mayor, not good, Miss has disappeared!”
