Chapter 1562 - 1462: Getting Closer to the Truth
Lin Qiushu didn’t care what the old woman had hidden, nor did she care about what she might have wanted to say but didn’t. What she cared about was the person who was pretending to be crippled.
"Auntie, Wang the cripple isn’t detailed enough. How can I look up that name? Can you tell me her full name?" Lin Qiushu asked.
"The full name has been forgotten by everyone. But the name of the cripple is known to all... Miss, this is all I can tell you."
"Then... okay." Lin Qiushu stood up a bit disappointedly and said to Jiu Xia, "You should rest well, ma’am! I won’t bother you any longer."
"Go on. Go on..." Jiu Xia spoke twice and then fell silent.
When Lin Qiushu and Xiaoshan said their goodbyes, they heard a panicked voice coming from the house: "Xiaoshan, Granny is gone..."
The old woman had passed away, and Lin Qiushu and the other two lit incense for Jiu Xia, expressed their mourning, and then left.
As they were descending the mountain, An Hao noticed that Lin Qiushu was in a bad mood: "What’s wrong? Not enough clues?"
"There are. It’s just the same as having none," Lin Qiushu said gloomily, "Back then when we were looking for Jiu Xia, at least we had a proper name. But now, we just have a codename called Wang the cripple! How are we supposed to find him?"
"Indeed. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack," An Hao looked at Lin Qiushu with sympathy.
"You’re wrong," Qin Jian suddenly spoke up, "The cripple is his most obvious characteristic, it’s his label. It’s not hard to find him. Tell me, how many people could there have been who were cripples from the past till now?"
"You say that, and I’ve suddenly seen the light. Moreover, it’s a cripple with a label – gamblers!" Lin Qiushu immediately grabbed the key point from Qin Jian’s words.
