Chapter 50 Missing on the Second Day

"Hi, mother-in-law." Wu Mo smiled, "We have listened to the official letter you reported and came to understand the situation."

Just at this time, Huangfu Chen and Hua Chi also came in, Wu Mo said: "You should know them, they have been here before, but there are some things that I didn't ask clearly, something went wrong with the investigation, so we are here to disturb again this time .”

"It's okay, it's okay." The old lady waved her hands again and again. It was too late for her to be gratified that they were so serious about this matter. Naturally, she would not complain, and hurriedly hobbled to get a stool for Wu Mo and the others to sit on.

There were five of them in their family, and there were enough stools. The wooden stools were untreated and very rough. Wu Mo and the others didn't dislike them, and sat down directly.

"Mother-in-law, I heard that your son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren disappeared in Luoyou Forest." Wu Mo asked gently, "Can you elaborate on the circumstances of the disappearance? How did they disappear and when did they disappear. "

The old lady nodded after hearing this, and said slowly: "Our family is relatively poor, and we usually grow and order vegetables ourselves. My son and daughter-in-law go to the town to sell in the morning."

"On the day of my disappearance, my grandchildren went to the forest to pick mushrooms in the morning, but they didn't come back by noon."

"Mushroom picking?" Wu Mo interrupted a little strangely, "It's midsummer and the temperature is high, so it shouldn't be the climate for mushroom growth, right?"

Before the old lady could make a sound, Shen Lingqi answered first: "Luoyou Forest is cool all year round, why don't you even know this?"

Wu Mo glanced at Shen Lingqi, but didn't speak.

She had stayed in the Luoyou Forest for a few days before, and although she noticed that the temperature was not high, she didn't pay much attention to it. She just thought it was because of the ghostly chill that she had just been born with.

In addition, she didn't encounter any unseasonable plants such as mushrooms along the way, so she really didn't know that the temperature in Luoyou Forest was different from the outside.

After this little episode, the old lady continued: "After Jisheng and the others came back from selling vegetables in the morning, they learned that the two children hadn't come home yet, so they thought they were playing in the forest. It was already noon, and my daughter-in-law was cooking at home. Jisheng went into the forest alone to find the children."

"As a result, my daughter-in-law's meals have been prepared, and the child and step-sheng haven't come back yet."

"We waited until the afternoon. Seeing that it was almost dark, they hadn't been seen yet. My legs and feet were bad when I was old. My daughter-in-law was worried, so she also went into the forest to look for them."

"But I couldn't find it after searching all night. My daughter-in-law came back in the middle of the night and found that Jisheng and the others hadn't returned home. After resting for a while, I continued to search in the forest in the morning..."

Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help wiping away tears, "As a result, I left and never came back."

"It's been almost half a month, and there is no news about the four of them..."

Hearing the old lady's words, the hearts of the few sank, and Hua Chi couldn't help asking: "You mean, your daughter-in-law also went into the forest that night to look for your son and the others, but there were no accidents at the time, and she went in again the next morning. Disappeared later?"

"Yes." The old lady nodded with red eyes.

Hua Chi and Huangfu Chen looked at each other.

This was something they hadn't investigated before. At that time, the old lady didn't say such details, but said that her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren never came back after entering Luoyou Forest.

Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law came back once on the way, and disappeared only after entering the second time.

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Wu Mo got up and said politely, "We have finished understanding the situation and will try our best to find out the whole story of this matter. I hope you take care of yourself."
