Even though she knew the spy was already dead, the old madam’s heart still jolted when she saw the spy’s bloody face.
This was because she couldn’t figure out the cause of her death. Was it because she had discovered something and ended up getting her identity found? Was she silenced, or did someone simply kill her?
“Sister, do you know what’s going on? Why is there a dead person in the residence?”
Mrs. Lu shook her head. To be honest, she was still baffled by the incident.
Her maidservant was still fine last night. Why was she gone in the blink of an eye? Moreover, it was in such a tragic way.
Most importantly, this was where she and Magu had always hidden their victims.
Since Magu also disappeared, was she the one who did it? Why?
If it wasn’t her, who could it be?
Did she discover something?
Mrs. Lu’s head was about to explode, considering these questions.
The old madam looked at Mrs. Lu’s troubled face and could tell that she really didn’t know.
At this moment, the doctor who had finished examining the corpse looked up and said, “Madams, this maidservant died from the Soul Severing Incense.” “Soul Severing Incense? Let’s go to her residence and take a look.” The old madam immediately thought of Magu and led her people to the spy’s residence. When Mrs. Lu heard this, she also thought of Magu and immediately followed.
After entering, she quickly found the Soul Severing Incense that hadn’t been burned out.
Mrs. Lu’s heart skipped a beat because she was too familiar with this thing.
At the same time, the old madam’s heart paused. She more or less knew what was going on, but she still pretended to be stupid and asked, “Sister, what’s going on? How could such a sinister thing appear in the residence?”
“I… I’m not sure either.”
“Then investigate. Such a dangerous person must not stay in the residence.” After the old madam ordered this, she instructed her personal nanny to bring people to start investigating.
Magu was usually very cautious, so she did not find the Soul Severing Incense in her residence.
However, Magu’s disappearance was exposed.
The old madam looked at Mrs. Lu and asked, “Magu is an old woman by your side. Other than here, does she have any other residence outside?”
“I, I do know of a place. It’s the place where her maternal family originally lived. It’s in North City’s XX Lane XX.” Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment before replying.
This place was easily found, so she couldn’t hide it even if she wanted to. However, she kept the hidden hideout in the city’s south a secret. She was afraid that there was something incriminating there that the old madam would find out.
When the old madam heard this, she waved at her subordinates.
Her subordinate immediately made a trip, but he came back empty-handed. According to the investigation, the courtyard had been emptied a few days ago. After the old madam received the reply, she asked someone to investigate further.
Mrs. Lu was a little scared. If the courtyard was empty, did Magu run away?
Magu knew too much. Thinking of this, she felt a chill down her spine.
She had to look for Magu as soon as possible. She hoped that she had been stumped by something instead of going entirely missing. Otherwise, she would be in big trouble.
When the old madam saw this, she called the butler over and asked him to prepare a coffin for the maidservant.
She returned to her own courtyard. After a moment of silence, the old madam called over a servant girl and whispered a few words into her ear.
The servant girl nodded and quickly retreated.
When Mrs. Lu returned to her room, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she did not act immediately. Instead, she waited until night fell.
After confirming that there were still no signs of Magu, she finally could not sit still anymore.
After everyone had gone to sleep, Mrs. Lu entered the secret passage that Magu often took. When she came out, she saw a man waiting in the courtyard.. She went up and asked, “Lu Xing, is there any news about Magu?”
