Chapter 193 Arrival in Anhe Town!
Si Yelin found his parents' train tickets from the day before they were murdered at the old house.
The ticket was for a small town near the capital called Anhe Town.
Anhe Town is small, consisting of only one village, which is simply called Anhe Village.
Si Yelin and Xiao Lang plan to start their investigation from Anhe Town.
After listening, Chu Miao frowned and asked, "But a town is quite big. Without a specific target, it's difficult for me to find anything suitable by just searching blindly, isn't it?"
“Master! You don’t need to worry about that!” Xiao Lang rubbed his hands and said, “Second Brother also found out about the communication records of Anle Town. Before Uncle Si and the others went to Anle Town, they called a man named Wen Yong. We checked, and Wen Yong used to be the village chief of Anle Village. In recent years, he has been promoted to the mayor of Anle Town. We will look for him first when we go.”
Chu Miao stroked her chin. If there were specific people involved, it would be much easier to find them.
"It's a three-hour drive, which is a bit long. If you feel unwell, just let me know and we'll stop at the service station."
Si Yelin took out a bag and handed it to Chu Miao. The bag contained not only lemonade and fruit, but also some snacks and desserts.
"If you're hungry, you can eat something first. If you need anything else, just tell me."
Chu Miao looked at the bag, which was filled with all her favorite foods.
That's incredibly thoughtful.
Chu Miao's eyes curved into a smile.
Laughed.
……
It took a full three hours to drive there.
They finally arrived in Anle Town.
Anle Town is not large, and the buildings are very old. There are very few high-rise buildings, and almost all of them are dilapidated old bungalows.
Many elderly people squatted on their back baskets, with vegetables laid out in front of them. The vegetables weren't very fresh; they were wilted, just like the elderly people themselves.
The clothes worn by each of the elderly people were somewhat worn out; it was already autumn, yet they were still wearing patched, faded single-layered shirts.
As the cold wind blew, their already short and thin bodies huddled together again.
On his wrinkled, aged face, muscles sagged, and his cloudy eyes reflected weariness and numbness.
They live in this world like zombies.
It's only a three-hour drive from the capital, but it's completely different from the bustling city.
Chu Miao has lived in the most prosperous area of the capital for so long since she transmigrated here. Even though she has seen the most down-on-their-luck Wen father and mother, she has lived a pretty good life.
It wasn't until I arrived here that I realized there are many poor people in this world.
Just like in the Great Chu Kingdom, there were still many people who couldn't get enough to eat or wear.
They went to the town government first.
Looking for Wen Yong.
"Are you looking for the town mayor?" The clerk glanced at them first, noticing their decent attire, and didn't dare to be negligent: "The town mayor is in a meeting in his office, you may have to wait a while."
The staff quickly invited them into the meeting room.
Tell them to wait a moment.
Si Yelin and the others waited.
The questions they came to ask Wen Yong this time were of great importance and involved many things; otherwise, Si Yelin wouldn't have come in person.
Wen Yong arrived quite a while later.
"Who's looking for me?"
He walked over wearing a cloth jacket and carrying a thermos. He first glanced at Chu Miao and the other two, and when he saw Si Yelin, his expression suddenly changed.
The hand holding the thermos cup tightened.
He dismissed the staff member, closed the door, and walked directly to Si Yelin, respectfully greeting him, "Young Master Si!"
