Chapter 193: 0191 Searching for Shadows in Bamboo

There are many roads in life, and Ye Qiu couldn’t change the paths others chose, but he respected the choices they made.

Chu Yao was a good girl; she deserved blessings.

The image of Chu Yao still lingered in his mind, and ultimately, Ye Qiu shook his head and revealed a bitter smile.

When he returned to the Goddess Villa, he found Lin Qiao’er at the entrance of the complex.

She was dressed in a long black coat, her hair loose, still without makeup, yet still unspeakably beautiful.

"Were you waiting for me, Officer Lin?"

Ye Qiu took the initiative to smile, his eyes briefly scanning Lin Qiao’er, mentally awarding her physique a perfect score.

"Get in the car." Officer Lin’s tone was still commanding; it was hard for her to take a pleasant tone with Ye Qiu.

Used to Lin Qiao’er’s icy demeanor, Ye Qiu shrugged his shoulders, curious to see what Officer Lin had in store for him today.

Lin Qiao’er drove to the suburbs and then stopped.

Ye Qiu glanced around at the surroundings, and jokingly said, "Officer Lin, you didn’t bring me here to do something to me, did you?" His eyes were full of mischief, which made Lin Qiao’er struggle to suppress her urge to slap him.

"Humph, what are you thinking about?" Lin Qiao’er snorted, then continued, "Is there any progress on the killer?"

The killer Lin Qiao’er referred to was the person in black who had been murdering martial artists. Although it was primarily a matter concerning the martial world, the police got involved because the killings were numerous and affected not only the martial community but also ordinary people.

"Officer Lin’s orders, how could I dare not follow?" Ye Qiu said playfully, then turned more serious, "However, this person is highly skilled, not an ordinary opponent, and tough to deal with."

"Even you can’t deal with him?" Lin Qiao’er was surprised for a moment. She knew some of Ye Qiu’s capabilities and understood that he was highly skilled. She hadn’t expected that the current killer would prove troublesome even for Ye Qiu.

"Trust me, since you’re going to dedicate yourself to me, I won’t let you down," Ye Qiu suddenly shifted the topic, referring to an ambiguous scene that had occurred in the morgue.

Upon mentioning that day’s event, Lin Qiao’er’s face became a mix of anger and embarrassment, and she said, "Ye Qiu, if you go too far, I’ll shoot you."

"You’d be committing a crime, kinlunking."

"I’d be eliminating harm for the people."

"..."

The two argued back and forth, neither willing to concede. Eventually, Lin Qiao’er kicked Ye Qiu out of the car and left him behind.

Having obtained information from Shangguan Dao, and with a clue about the Du family, Ye Qiu intended to immediately head to the bamboo forest to try his luck.

Early the next morning, Ye Qiu got into a car and headed to the bamboo forest mentioned by Shangguan Dao.

After a day of travel, Ye Qiu finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where the bamboo forest was located.

Even though it was deep autumn, the bamboo forest was still lush and verdant, with densely packed and towering stalks.

Since the Du family had been seen in this bamboo forest, Ye Qiu first inquired with the local people, carefully asking where the older wooden huts and graves might be located.

Following the narrative and guidance of an old local, Ye Qiu followed a mountain path deep into the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was like an ocean, with the sound of the wind rustling and bamboo leaves clapping, creating a melodious rhythm in the forest.

This was a bamboo forest with a history of a thousand years; it was said that in the past, many scholars and writers had come here to recite poetry and carry forward generations of character and style.

The bamboo forest was tranquil, similar to a forest, possessing an incredible ability.

At that moment, entering the bamboo forest, Ye Qiu’s eager heart gradually calmed down, instead slowing his pace and making steady progress.

Looking around, all he could see were bamboo stalks taller than the next. Following the old man’s directions, Ye Qiu changed direction and spotted quite a few bamboo houses, only to rush over and end up disappointed; these were merely built by ordinary people, with no trace of the Dugu family.

After walking a few hundred meters more, Ye Qiu came across several more houses, none of which were right; these were newly built and too simple to be habitable.

Finally, Ye Qiu gave up searching for the houses and began looking for some graves in the bamboo forest.

Since the Dugu family had once stayed here, and Shangguan Dao mentioned that someone related to the Dugu family might be buried here, finding that grave might offer a chance to see the Dugu family.

It was still early, and Ye Qiu’s gaze swept the area, missing nothing.

The deeper he went, the quieter the bamboo forest became, reaching a place seldom visited by others.

There were not many graves hidden in the bamboo forest; Ye Qiu had only discovered five along the way, but all were ordinary graves with no apparent connection to the Dugu family.

Just as Ye Qiu continued onward, suddenly, someone called out to him.

"Ye Qiu!"

"Uncle Ying!"

Ye Qiu paused, taken aback by the appearance of Huo Qian’s housekeeper, Uncle Ying, in this bamboo sea.

But upon reflection, since both were searching for the Dugu family, it made sense, and he realized Uncle Ying had also found this place.

"It really is you, I didn’t expect us to meet here," Uncle Ying said with a smile, finding it somehow fateful that both had arrived at the same place.

"Truly a coincidence, Uncle Ying is here too, it seems we’re here for the same reason," Ye Qiu also said with a laugh.

"How did you also find this place?" Uncle Ying asked.

"I heard this place held traces of the Dugu family, so I came to try my luck, how did Uncle Ying find this place?" Ye Qiu asked curiously. His own reason for being there was because of Shangguan Dao, so Uncle Ying’s presence made him very curious.

"Ever since I bought that Dugu family genealogy, I accidentally discovered this place because the people of the Dugu family come here to pay tribute every year."

"So, Uncle Ying has been here for several days?" Ye Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

Uncle Ying nodded, and since the two had met, they decided to search together for the place where the Dugu family had lived.

"I heard there’s a graveyard around here, but despite searching for days, I haven’t found it," Uncle Ying said slowly.

"It seems we can only rely on luck now," Ye Qiu sighed.

The two continued their search within the bamboo forest, and after going deeper into the forest for thirty miles, they were almost out of the bamboo sea when Ye Qiu spotted several raised mounds of earth ahead.

The two exchanged glances, feeling that the area ahead was what they were looking for, and both showed signs of excitement.

They quickened their pace, heading straight for it.

Upon reaching the mounds, they discovered it was a large cemetery.

Dozens of graves of varying sizes were surrounded by tall ancient trees, with several crows cawing on the branches, their cries somewhat mournful.

As the two paused their steps, they both looked toward the solitary figure ahead, unmoving, standing in front of a grave.

Their eyes narrowed, exchanging glances, could it be someone from the Dugu family?
