Since half a month ago, there have been strange noises in the Peony Building late at night.

At first, it was confined to the beams, roofs and some corners, and the bustard in the building only thought that there were rats, and asked the runners to buy some rat poison to clean up.

However, it didn't take long for the sound not to disappear, but to appear frequently, and even began to move from a remote corner to a place in the building, breaking a few vases and breaking two calligraphy and paintings from time to time.

These losses are trivial, the Peony Lou family has a big business, and they don't care, but the problem is that these noises have affected the guests in the building.

It's just a fright, the problem is that if you are really scared by this kind of noise at a "critical moment" and make some bullshit, it will have a big impact on the reputation of Peony Building.

However, before she could increase her efforts to rectify the situation, something happened in early May.

A regular customer who stayed in the Peony Building got up in the middle of the night, unconsciously looked at his head, nothing else, just a palm of blood and some broken hair.

Can this not be called?

No one knew why he slept so dead, his scalp was bleeding and he didn't wake up, and no one knew who did it, and he could quietly touch the three-story beautiful woman's room to do such a thing.

But the responsibility of the Peony Building will definitely not be able to run, and it took a lot of money to suppress this matter at that time.

It's just that no one thought that this was just the beginning.

"From the beginning of May to the present, there have been three guests in the building who have had accidents, and the shopkeeper does not dare to report to the official, for fear of affecting the reputation of the Peony Building, so he can only ask someone to check in private...... Don't say I told you this, or I'll eat the whip!"

Helping Zhou Ze with the dishes in her hand, the girl reminded her cautiously.

She didn't say this because this matter could not be suppressed, and the three guests had an accident in a short period of time, and it was in such a mixed place, it was impossible to block the news, and the old bustard could control the people in the Peony Building, but he couldn't stop the other guests who were staying in the building.

"The guest was stripped of his hair while he was asleep, and he didn't notice the whole process, so you can make people sleep so soundly?"

Lu Jiu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, he didn't believe that those guests could "work" to the point of being unconscious, gave Zhou Ze a look, and then said,

"Then you have found out what results now, it is almost the middle of May, and you can't still find nothing at all. ”

"We don't know much about this, the shopkeeper didn't mention it to us. ”

"Well, you ...... then."

Zhou Ze took over the conversation and was about to ask, but a sudden noise outside the door interrupted him.

"It must be the beautiful girl from our Peony Building who came out, the two guest officers hurry up and take a look. ”

In order to avoid this sensitive topic, as soon as she heard the movement outside, the girl who was sitting on the bench a second ago immediately got up and ran to open the door, Lu Jiu and Zhou Ze glanced at each other, and did not force others to stay, they each got up and walked out of the door.

As soon as he went out, there was another burst of cheers in the hall on the first floor and the corridor on the second floor, Lu Jiu leaned on the railing, and couldn't help but look at the third floor.

At this time, on both sides of the stairs on the third floor, there were already two teams of girls carrying flower baskets on both sides of the stairs, just like they did last night when they were paraded in the Oiran, constantly throwing the petals in the baskets and paving a flower path.

Immediately afterwards, on the inside of the corridor on the third floor, several graceful beauties slowly appeared, holding on to the railing from time to time and beckoning down, smiling skillfully.

I have to admit that the woman who can be a beautiful woman in the peony building, there is absolutely nothing to say in terms of personal quality, she has everything, for men in this era, this level of beauty is not something that can be seen casually, and it is no wonder that the whole building has fallen into a feverish atmosphere with their appearance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to let everyone have fun today, I specially asked the girls to ......"

Standing on the platform of the staircase junction area on the second and third floors, the specially dressed bustard was promoting tonight's activities with his voice, which really attracted the attention of many people, and the guests and employees who were originally scattered all over the Peony Building were attracted to the vicinity.

This made Lu Jiu on the second floor immediately realize that his opportunity had come, and when he went upstairs just now, he caught the special smell in the air.

Based on the fact that it was the gray feather crow and the blood in the bamboo bucket that gave Lu Jiu a similar reaction before, this gave him reason to suspect that this smell was very likely related to the blood he needed or some kind of demon beast.

It's just that I couldn't find a suitable reason to investigate at that time, and now most people are gathered together because of the activities of the Peony Building, and it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to find the source of the smell.

"Zhou Ze, I'll wander around, maybe I can find some clues, and I'll come back to meet you later. ”

patting Zhou Ze on the shoulder, Lu Jiu leaned closer and whispered, the former immediately understood and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Noting down the door number of his private room, Lu Jiu walked along the corridor on the second floor, seemingly watching the platform gradually start performing activities, but in fact, he had been sniffing the special smell in the air through his nose, trying to find a stronger area.

First walked around the second floor, and wandered between the position near the room and the crowd watching the singing and dancing in the corridor, but it turned out that there were no people or things with a particularly strong smell, and the source was obviously not in this area.

Then only the first and third floors remained......

Lu Jiu stood at the top of the stairs, his eyes cast on the crowd of onlookers below, sweeping over the faces of a mixture of obsession and desire.

The first floor is densely populated, and there are often people drinking and recreation late at night, if there is something abnormal, it is very likely to be noticed, and so far, the special smell that caused its own reaction Lu Jiu has only smelled it when the Oiran was parade and in the Peony Building, which means that the source of the smell is very likely to be someone in the Peony Building......

"Let's welcome the Ginzuki Girl, who has been the Oiran for two months!"

The bustard shouted, causing the wolves below to "howl", and at the staircase on the third floor, there was a face with a tassel veil, and the beauty of Ting Tingna stepped into the arena with a light dance.

Suddenly, the team of musicians on the first floor began to play the music from last night's street patrol, and the girl named Yinyue also danced to it, still holding the lure of the pipa and half-covering her face and the relaxed and bright music, which baked the already fiery atmosphere to a new level.

"In the past two months, Miss Yinyue has come from behind with her talent, dominating the position of the Oiran of the Peony Building, and I don't know how many people covet it. ”

"I heard that this great beauty has a strange fragrance, and as long as you get close to smell it, you can make people smesmerized. ”

"How did I hear that it was those rich businessmen who were so beautiful that she couldn't think about it, but it's a pity that she was masked today, otherwise we would still be able to see the fragrance of the country that day. ”

......

Pong~Knock~

Somewhere on the third floor, the crunch of an object hitting the ground was accompanied by a dull murmur.

The guests on the second floor didn't care, but the appearance of the Oiran of the Peony Building attracted all their attention, and even if they heard it, they only thought that someone had accidentally knocked over the furniture, and they didn't care at all.

However, the dancing beauty's movements suddenly stiffened, and then returned to normal rhythm without a trace of a lower waist movement.

Most of the guests didn't notice anything unusual about her.

Only Lu Jiu, who was at the back of the crowd, first looked up, and then his eyes all fell on this oiran.
