 Chapter 222: Yuan Shanchuan Didn't Go Far

Indeed, there was such an incident. The Yuan family came to report the case, and it was recorded in the county office's files. However, the officials and soldiers knew very well that this case would only be suppressed. Currently, everyone in the county office, including Master Xiang, prioritized stabilizing the internal unrest in Jiangyuan County. They were also investigating the previous officials, collecting evidence of their crimes, with the aim of bringing down the Shu family, the magistrate of Dong'an Prefecture. Even if it were a more important case, it could only be pushed aside and postponed for now. So when the Yuan family reported the case the day before yesterday, the official responsible for documenting quickly placed the file at the bottom. It wasn't that they neglected their duties; it was simply a matter of limited manpower. Cases like this were usually assigned to the officials who had not made any mistakes in the county office. However, those officials, under the leadership of the former county magistrate, were inefficient and not very intelligent in their work. By the time it came to the Yuan family's case, it would probably be another ten days or half a month. However, what the officials didn't expect was that Yuan Shanchuan was actually the uncle of Miss Lu. It seemed that the Yuan family had gone back and told the authorities that they weren't taking this matter seriously, which prompted Miss Lu to come personally. This was a bit awkward. Fortunately, Shu Yu quickly resolved the awkwardness. "When the Yuan family reported the case the day before yesterday, they were in a hurry and didn't have any leads. I thought it would be impossible to find someone without any direction, and it would only burden you further. But then we thought about it and suddenly came up with a clue, so I hurried over to see if this direction was useful." The official immediately asked, "What clue?" "A route guide," Shu Yu said. "We thought that through the route guide, we could determine whether my uncle had traveled far. If he didn't go far, then the search range could be narrowed down." The official was taken aback. Indeed, if the officials sincerely searched, the first thing they should do is check the route guide. There was nothing wrong with that. "In that case, Yuan Shanchuan disappeared over half a month ago, right? Let me go find the records and check if he went on a trip." Shu Yu immediately expressed her gratitude. "You're really going through a lot of trouble." "No problem, it's just a small favor," the official said. "Wait for me here." After saying that, he turned and ran inside. Shu Yu looked at the sun and realized it was getting hot, estimating that she would have to wait for a while. There was a tea stall in the distance, so Shu Yu took her grandmother over there and sat down, ordering two bowls of cold tea to drink. The old lady was somewhat excited. "I didn't expect that official to be so enthusiastic." Shu Yu coughed lightly, signaling her to drink the tea. People were coming and going on the street, and after a quarter of an hour had passed, Shu Yu saw the official coming out of the county office. She immediately stood up and picked up the bowl of cold tea from the table, walking towards them. Without waiting for the soldiers to speak, Shu Yu handed it over and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Have a sip of cold tea and take your time to talk." The soldier was momentarily taken aback, chuckled, and felt instantly relieved. Although this young girl appeared to be young, her actions were comforting. After finishing the bowl of tea, he looked up and said, "I've investigated and Yuan Shanchuan hasn't traveled far. He's still within a hundred miles of this area. The range can be narrowed down." Shu Yu and the old lady exchanged a glance, and the latter let out a long sigh of relief. But soon their hearts tightened again. If Yuan Shanchuan hadn't gone far, then where exactly had he gone?
