More importantly, just a glance was enough to determine that these individuals were all male. Following the trail of footprints, Lin Feng and his companions gradually made progress.
The footprints led directly north of Linbo County and extended for seven or eight miles before finally disappearing. Lin Feng made a decisive decision and turned to his companion Zhang, instructing, "Zhang, quickly dispatch all the Yayi to continue searching north from here. We must not overlook any clues!"
"Understood!" Zhang replied with a fist salute, then turned to begin organizing the deployment.
In no time, numerous Yayi scattered like arrows released from a bow, launching a comprehensive search as per Lin Feng's instructions. Fortunately, despite the footprints fading, some traces related to the case could still be vaguely discerned.
As two days passed, everyone remained tightly focused on those clues, tirelessly searching for the truth with hope and anticipation in their hearts. Eventually, they followed the trail to the foot of Daliang Mountain. To the north lay Youzhou territory, and nestled within Daliang Mountain was a tranquil little village.
At this moment, Lin Feng led his subordinates slowly into the village. However, he was taken aback to find that the entire village was eerily empty, devoid of any human presence. This unusual silence tightened his chest; his instincts told him that something unknown was concealed here.
"Everyone spread out and search each household carefully!" Lin Feng commanded decisively.
Thus, everyone began to take action, checking each house one by one. Yet the results were disheartening; every single home was empty, not a soul in sight.
Lin Feng furrowed his brow and turned to Zhang Zihao beside him, asking, "Zhang, is this area still under the jurisdiction of Linbo County?"
Zhang Zihao quickly cupped his hands in response, "My lord, this place is beyond Linbo County's jurisdiction; it belongs to Youzhou."
Upon hearing this answer, Lin Feng suddenly understood. No wonder Zhang Zihao had found nothing despite his investigations; the issue lay here.
Just as everyone finished their search and prepared to leave, someone with keen eyes suddenly spotted a figure sitting beneath a large tree at the entrance of the village—a man dressed in Black Garment. This individual had a gleaming long sword at his waist and exuded an air of mystery.
Seeing the situation, Zhang Zihao stepped forward without hesitation and called out loudly, "Friend up ahead, may I ask where you are from?"
The man in black slightly raised his head, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd. He then spoke in a deep voice, "You officials should leave quickly; otherwise, your lives will be in danger!"
"Why do you say such things?" Zhang replied with righteous indignation. "As officials of the court, we bear the responsibility for the welfare and safety of the people. Given such a strange occurrence, we must do everything in our power to investigate and provide a clear explanation to the common folk. How can we be easily deterred by difficulties?"
At this moment, the man in black looked around with a serious expression and slowly said, "This place has been abandoned for over two years. Look around; every household is spotless, without a speck of dust. Do you not feel that something is amiss?"
