Chapter 349: Traces
After the servant girl had left, after a while, the shopkeeper saw that the noble lady had also come downstairs, and after asking him the direction of the maid's departure, he also left.
Later, a servant came to settle the bill, and when all the people finally left, the shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered him to go upstairs to clean up.
However, after Wang Yuci left, he hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and then got into an inconspicuous carriage in the downtown under the cover of the housekeeper.
"What?" Ma Siqi sat in the carriage and watched her hurry up, so he gently patted the back of her hand and asked, "Yuci, but things are not going well?"
Wang Yuci shook his head and said in a half-loud voice, "The Erjia is just a little nervous. ”
"Don't worry! Ma Siqi comforted her, "The water slave has been secretly taken away by the people arranged by the concubine, and there will never be a chance to come back." And this shopkeeper can prove that she went out by herself, so it has nothing to do with you, let's go back to the house immediately, and then Yu Ci You just need to go to Si Yuan with nervousness to inform you. ”
Wang Yuci nodded a little unwillingly, indicating that he understood.
On this day, the mood of the restaurant shopkeeper has been in a state of ups and downs, first someone came to clear the field and said that everyone was going to come to eat, he was naturally very happy to have such a good business, although he was still worried about poor service, but in front of interests, these are just floating clouds.
Not long after the distinguished guests left, a group of people hurriedly walked in, and all of them were extraordinary, and one of them was like an immortal. I thought it was another big business. Before he had time to be happy, he was frightened by the person who came to report his identity.
Not to mention how noble the Yin family is, he is also thunderous about the name of the other party's calligraphy.
"Shopkeeper?" Seeing him looking at Yin Nuan sluggishly, Ah Yuan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of them with some annoyance and eagerness, "My family Langjun is asking if you have seen a lady in gray?"
Before, Yin Nuan and A Yuan had just returned to Shuyan Pavilion Bujiu, and they got the news of the disappearance of the water slave that Wang Yuci said, so they hurriedly came to this restaurant. And Yin Tian was naturally annoyed in her heart, and no matter how much she believed in Wang Yuci, she should not have let the princess leave alone before.
Yin Nuan's heart was anxious, and his always gentle face had a bit of murderous intent that could not be concealed at this time.
"Huh?" the shopkeeper reacted. The faces of the few people before meeting were full of annoyance. knew that he was presumptuous, so he thought about it cautiously before replying, "The lady in gray has seen it today." An hour ago, I had come to dinner with another lady. ”
"Has an hour passed?" Yin Nuan's brows furrowed even tighter.
The shopkeeper said the same thing as Wang Yuci. Inda asked a little anxiously, "And then, where did the lady in gray go?"
I was frightened by the evil anger on the field. The shopkeeper hurriedly said respectfully: "The lady went downstairs and said that she was going to buy pastries, and after a while, another lady also came downstairs and asked where the lady in gray was." He left, and he never saw him again. ”
When Ah Yuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then do you know where she went?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly pointed in a direction, Ah Yuan hurriedly turned around and was about to go out, but Yin Nuan frowned and asked, "Can the old man see clearly at that time, does that lady have a scar on her face?"
The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he heard this, thought about it and shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry, Gorou-kun, the old man didn't dare to take a closer look at it at that time, and he didn't pay attention to it." ”
"Gorou-kun?" Ah Yuan was a little surprised, "What are you asking about?"
Yin Nuan didn't answer, and continued to ask: "Does the old man remember, what kind of hairstyle did that lady comb?"
The shopkeeper did remember it, after all, although he didn't look closely at the time, he still accidentally looked at it a few times. He thought for a moment and said, "The lady in gray didn't wear any buns. ”
When Intian heard this, she was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Is the old man serious?" She remembered that the princess wore a hanging bun when she went out.
The shopkeeper saluted: "Back to the lady's words, the old man will never dare to deceive." ”
When Ah Yuan heard this, she looked back and forth at the shopkeeper and Yin Nuan in some surprise, and only then did she realize that her family Langjun may have always doubted the true identity of the lady in gray. But also, how could a person as indifferent as Sister Shuinu suddenly disappear without saying a word?
Yin Nuan really didn't believe it, but the reason was not all what A-Yuan said, but that he didn't believe in Wang Yuci, maybe he didn't believe in Wang Yuci, who was in constant contact with Ma Siqi. It's just that the relationship between Wang Yuci and Sima Junbi is extraordinary, so he didn't remind him, he wanted to be careful, but he didn't know that because of his carelessness, there was still such an accident.
Yin Nuan clenched her hands and kept reminding herself that now that my sister was not there, she must not lose her mind, and she must be more calm and cautious.
"Can the old man take me to the cubicle where the two ladies were before?"
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly and personally led everyone upstairs. He is well-informed, and he knows that the lady today is afraid that something will happen, and he only hopes that the good life will not affect this restaurant, where can he dare to ask about others?
The cubicle had already been cleaned, and there was nothing strange about it at this time. Therefore, after Yin Nuan entered, he only focused on the window and the corridor. Facing the street outside the window, it is a blue sky and a white day, and it is impossible to leave from this road. The hallway was a little dim, and at the end there seemed to be a wooden door about the size of a sash.
Inda knew what he meant, and also walked over to take a look. When I opened the wooden door, I saw a narrow wooden ladder. The shopkeeper hurriedly explained that this was an urgent wooden door and was rarely used on weekdays.
This kind of wooden door is available in many restaurants, and the guests who come are noble, and there are always some of them that are inconvenient to enter and exit from the main entrance.
Intian looked at it silently with a calm face, and suddenly raised his head and said to Yin Nuan: "Wulang-kun, someone just passed by here not long ago. ”
There is a thin layer of dust on the wooden ladder because few people walk, and although the people who walked before were profound, they did not leave obvious footprints, but if you look closely, you can still see the traces of people walking.
said that on the other side, after Sima Junbi was taken out of the restaurant in a dazed state, he was directly put into a carriage and left Xin'an Town to rush to the suburbs.
The carriage was ordinary, and did not attract anyone's attention, and after reaching a suburb turned into a lesser-traveled path, and after about a quarter of an hour, in the distance came a clear lake among the trees. Then the carriage stopped, and from it came down two servants dressed in black coarse cloth, one of whom held a package wrapped in a large black cloth towel, and with the rocking arc of his walk, a few strands of black hair leaked out of it, which almost dragged to the ground.
