The crowd exchanged glances, and soon the middle-aged man on the edge spoke up, "Da Gui's family isn't here, they went to set up a stall at the dock and definitely haven't returned yet."
Upon hearing this, the village chief suddenly understood, slapping his forehead, "Look at my memory."
Then, he turned his head respectfully, "Lord, only Xu Dagui's family of three isn't here; they went to the dock to set up a stall."
As he spoke, he glanced at the sky and hurriedly added, "They're about to return."
The man in dark blue clothes opened the household register, flipped through a few pages, and paused at the last entry, which was a couple and a child.
The woman's name was Cuihua.
He reluctantly looked at the man in the black outfit, "General, there's no one in this village."
The man's gaze coldly scanned the crowd, "Search each household."
"Yes." The man in the dark blue clothes promptly nodded.
A house search was necessary.
