Douluo: The soul skills are too abstract, Tang San burst into tears!.

Chief Baihe frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"It seems that we must treat this matter with greater caution. 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 spy go away, but innocent people may also be wrongly accused."

Elder Jian nodded and responded:

"What the clan leader said is absolutely right. On the one hand, we can strengthen the secret surveillance of these two suspects, and on the other hand, we can start from other aspects to find more clues. For example, investigate the daily behavior and interpersonal relationships of these two people in the clan to see if we 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. We must also pay attention to concealment during the investigation and not let them notice anything, otherwise it may alert the enemy."

Bai Chenxiang said firmly:
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Afterwards, Bai Chenxiang immediately organized an efficient investigation team and divided it into two groups.

A comprehensive investigation of the two suspects was launched.

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

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

The air is filled with a faint scent of earth and the fragrance of crops.

From a distance, Bai Chenxiang saw an old lady hunched over, carrying a large basket of seedlings that were about to be planted in the fields.

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

"Hello, grandma! Are you going to plant rice seedlings? Let me carry you on my back. It's on the way anyway!"

As Bai Chenxiang spoke, she took the basket off the old lady's body and put it on her own back.

The old lady raised her head and a look of doubt appeared on her wrinkled face.

She stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her rough hands, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Oh, girl, don't help me carry it. This basket is dirty. Don't ruin your beautiful clothes."

"It's okay, grandma!"

Bai Chenxiang said generously.

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 casually.

The old lady nodded slightly:
"Yes, I have lived here for many years. Although this place is remote and simple, the neighbors are very kind and we live a stable life."

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

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

The old lady narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction Bai Chenxiang pointed, and said slowly:
"Oh, you mean the guy in that room. I have some impression of that guy. What's the matter? Are you his wife or girlfriend?"

Bai Chenxiang waved her hand quickly and said:
"No, no, we've only met him a few times and are a little curious about him. Grandma, can you tell us what kind of person he is?"

The old lady smiled generously and said:

"That young man usually looks quite honest. Although he doesn't like to talk much, he always greets people when he sees them. 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:

"Does he have any special friends or people he hangs out with regularly?"

The old lady shook her head and said:
"I haven't really paid much attention to that. He usually keeps to himself, and I've never seen him bring anyone back home. But once, I seemed to see him talking to a guy dressed strangely on the side of the road, but I didn't hear what they were talking about."

"Someone dressed strangely?"

Bai Chenxiang keenly caught this information, and she asked: "Grandma, can you describe that person?"

The old lady frowned and recalled:

"Well... the man was dressed in dark clothes and wore a hat that covered most of his face. I'm old and couldn't see his face clearly from a distance. They left after a few words."

Bai Chenxiang thought to himself that this might be an important clue.

At 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 then asked, "Does this young man have any hobbies or places he often goes to?"

The old lady thought for a moment and said:
"He doesn't seem to have any special hobbies. He just sometimes goes for a walk in the mountains behind. As for where he often goes, I'm not sure."

Bai Chenxiang thanked:

"Thank you, grandma."

The old lady smiled and said:

"What are you thanking me for? I haven't had the chance to thank you yet. A little girl carried my old bones all the way. You must have worked so hard. It took up a lot of 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 with some things! Grandma, you go ahead and do your work. I also have things to do."

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

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

Bai Chenxiang thought about it and said truthfully:

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

The old lady smiled, her eyes narrowed into slits:

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

Bai Chenxiang nodded happily:
"Thank you, grandma. I'll be leaving now."

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

Everyone gathered together and began to discuss with serious expressions.

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

A team member spoke first.

Bai Chenxiang nodded slightly and responded thoughtfully:
"Yes, we have to find a way to find this person. There are relatively few clues about the suspect at present, and 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, and there may be some clues on the mountain. Maybe we can find traces left by the suspect on the mountain, or find clues related to that strange person."

"Then what should we do now?"

A tribesman asked.

Bai Chenxiang thought for a moment and said:

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

"Yes!"

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