"Lord Xie, how is the corpse cleaned up?" Shen Man asked in the morgue. It's overcast, the sun doesn't shine all year round, and the air is filled with a musty smell. Without lighting candles or drawing curtains, as soon as I entered, I saw rows of corpses covered with white cloths lying on inferior wooden beds.

Xie Fan's eyes were bruised, and the face on the side looked similar to that of a dead man. He was very small, and he was still hunched at the waist, so his body was less than half of Shen Man's, and he looked like a dwarf.

Xie Pan replied, "It's almost cleaned up, and thanks to Liu Yanzuo, a total of eighteen corpses have been cleaned up, including men and women, almost all of them are pieced together." ”

Liu Yanzuo raised his face slightly when they mentioned him, only to feel a cold air coming out from behind, startling everyone.

Tang Jiuyue glanced for a week and suddenly asked, "Are their fingers all there?" ”

Xie Pan naturally didn't know this, so he frowned. Liu Yanzuo, who was beside him, immediately handed over the inspection report and pointed to the line of words on it expressionlessly, Xie Pan looked at it for a while before saying, "Their fingers are all there, and they are not missing." ”

Shen Man and Tang Jiuyue glanced at each other, it stands to reason that Zhou Ting took Tang Gongzi's phalanges, if there is Tang Gongzi in this corpse, then there must be a corpse that lacks finger bones. Could it be that the corpse of this Tang Gongzi is not in the mother ding? So where will Zhou Gai hide him? Tang Huiyuan didn't make a noise after his son's disappearance, what is going on?

"Have you found out who they are?"

"Most of them have been checked, as you said, they are all girls from the Zhou Mansion. The remaining few unidentified corpses should also be □□ ten. Although Xie Pan was afraid of offending Zhou Gai, now that the evidence is conclusive, he has gradually made up his mind. As long as you find out who the murderer is and truthfully report it to your superiors, how to deal with Zhou Gai is the matter of the Son of Heaven. I can be considered to have completed the errand, at least I won't treat myself for a crime of dereliction of duty, it can be said that there is no merit and merit, and this broken thing should be able to pass smoothly.

"Then there is the aftermath of Lord Raussie, we have to say goodbye first." Tang Jiuyue said.

Xie Pan also had to be busy with some official documents, so he didn't keep it and said goodbye to the Tang sisters.

Out of the county office, Shen Man asked, "Do we still want to go to Zhou's mansion?" ”

The corners of Tang Jiuyue's mouth hooked, and she smiled lightly, "You are half right, you go to the Zhou Mansion, and I go to the Meteorological Gate." ”

Shen Man was a little surprised, "I'm going to the Zhou Mansion alone?" I can't deal with Zhou Gai......"

"Right now, Zhou Gai is still in the court and not in the mansion, your main task in going to the Zhou Mansion is to find Zhou Ting and deceive her of something in her hand."

"Phalanges?"

Tang Jiuyue smiled again, "Not bad." She found that talking to Shen Man became more and more effortless, and often before she could explain the words, she already understood her own thoughts.

Shen Man touched his chin and thought for a while, "Okay, I'll do my best." If you can get the finger bone, you can use the 'Beidou Explorer' to find its owner. No matter how close to the master, it is not as good as what comes from this person in the first place. ”

Tang Jiuyue nodded and said, "Yes, we have to do everything we can to find this cousin of mine." ”

"Okay, then we'll go our separate ways." Shen Mandao. Although it is a bit immoral to deceive the finger bones from a girl with an incomplete mind, if it is to find out Tang Gongzi, he can only try with a clear conscience.

After separating from Tang Jiuyue, Shen Man was thinking about how to deceive the bag containing the finger bones from Zhou Ting all the way. Zhou Ting regarded that thing as a treasure, and she would definitely not hand it over lightly. Maybe something to get in exchange?

Shen Man stopped and looked at the vendor selling handmade cloth bags and rouge on the side of the street. Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she ran happily to the vendor's stall.

"Do you have an embroidered bag with a bird here?" Shen Man asked.

The peddler scratched the back of his head, rummaged through the frame of the cloth bag, and finally found a few columns for Shen Man to see. Shen Man picked and chosen, and finally found a bag with similar color, texture and embroidery, and said happily, "How much, I want it!" ”

Now it's easier to find an opportunity to change the bag.

"Do you want to see something else, girl?" The peddler asked happily.

Shen Man saw that there were still a few beautiful stones, so he picked another one and put it in the bag, weighed it, and was finally very satisfied.

At this moment a young girl came to the stall, and when the vendor saw her coming, he immediately opened a drawer and handed her a rouge box. The girl was also very arrogant, and handed over a piece of silver in her hand to the vendor.

This qiē fell in Shen Man's eyes, and after the girl left, Shen Man asked the vendor, "What did you just give that girl?" ”

The peddler looked embarrassed, "It's just an ordinary rouge box, nothing unusual." ”

Shen Man didn't believe it, "If it's an ordinary rouge box, how can you sell it so expensive, and hide it in the inner drawer?" Seeing the hawker's embarrassed face, Shen Man said again, "Don't worry, I also want to buy a rouge box like that." She glanced at it in a hurry, and the carving of the box and the inlaid beads alone seemed to be absolutely unusual. She often has a thought recently, that is, when she sees something strange and fun, she always wants to give it to Tang Jiuyue. Now I happen to see a beautiful rouge box, so I naturally want to buy it.

The peddler was slightly surprised, "The girl wants it too?" ”

Shen Man smiled, "I know that you must be a good thing, and I want one too, I wonder if you still have one?" ”

The peddler's eyes rolled and he changed to a smiling face and said, "Of course." Then he took another one out of the drawer. Shen Man held it in his hand, and felt that this one was even tighter and more beautiful than the one he had just made, and it was already rare just by looking at the appearance and workmanship. So he said, "I want this one, but why are you hiding these rouge boxes?" Wouldn't it sell better if it was placed outside? ”

"The girl doesn't know, these things can't be put on the surface at will." The vendor took the money and was in a very good mood.

"Why not?"

The hawker was just about to explain, but another group of girls came around, so he didn't have time to continue to talk to Shen Man. Shen Man was blocked out of the crowd, put away the embroidered bag and rouge box, and went to the Zhou Mansion as agreed with Tang Jiuyue.

That night, Shen Man returned to the house first, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Tang Jiuyue hooking a rope with a finger and carrying a fish back in disgust. The fish had a special appearance, looked a little ugly, and was white and fat.

Tang Jiuyue never eats fish, why did she suddenly come back with a fish? Shen Man greeted and took the fish, and Tang Jiuyue said, "This is what I brought back from the weather gate, let's cook it and eat it at night." ”

Shen Man was very confused, "Aren't you not eating fish?" ”

Tang Jiuyue straightened her sleeves and said without raising her head, "I don't eat it, but you like to eat it." ”

Shen Man was stunned.

Tang Jiuyue looked up at her, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she coughed and said, "This is given to me by Tang Huiyuan Fei Fortress, I can't refuse." And I heard that this fish is extremely rare, and the meat is delicious, so it doesn't hurt to taste it once in a while. ”

Shen Man said happily, "Since this is the case, I will steam it, so that I can best taste the flesh of this fish." ”

Tang Jiuyue looked at the back of Shen Man leaving with the fish, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved into an arc. After Shen Man completely disappeared around the corner, Tang Jiuyue raised her hand and looked at Fang Cai's fingers holding the rope, and rubbed them, as if the torture Fang Cai had suffered along the way had disappeared.

Shen Man came back soon, and her mood fluctuated along the way, she knew in her heart that this was Tang Jiuyue's treatment of herself, but she didn't dare to draw conclusions about how good it was. The rouge box that can be bought must be given out tonight, although Tang Damen Prison was born with good skin and there is no pimple on his face, but women love beauty, and it is not wrong to send rouge.

"Miss Tang, this--for you." Shen Man took out the rouge box and put it on the table in front of Tang Jiuyue. Then wait for her to react.

But Tang Damen didn't make the slightest movement, she just looked at the rouge box on the table, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long while, she blinked, raised her head and asked Shen Mandao, "What is this?" ”

Shen Man was speechless, and said, "You've never used this thing?" ”

Tang Jiuyue shook her head indifferently, "No." ”

Shen Man patiently explained, "This is a rouge box, which is a commonly used thing for women. ”

"Oh?" Tang Jiuyue fiddled with the box and frowned slightly, "Thank you." Then I finally found the mechanism to open the rouge box, and slowly opened the box. The moment she saw the contents of the box, her complexion changed slightly. After staring at the contents for a long time, his eyelashes blinked, and he looked up and asked, "Are you sure you want to give this thing to me?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Man nodded shyly.

"You say every woman needs this?" Tang Jiuyue looked puzzled.

"yes." Shen Man felt that Tang Gatekeeper's reaction was a little wrong, and he just got up and wanted to take a closer look at the box, but he didn't expect a sudden noise from the location of the kitchen.

Shen Man and Tang Jiuyue looked in that direction at the same time, and then thought of one more place: Oh no, that fish in the kitchen!

At this time, I heard Xiao Li Ye screaming, "Oh, who steamed a puffer fish in the kitchen, and it was put on the pot before it was cleaned, do you know that it will eat the dead!" Ahh "It sounds like he's throwing up.

Shen Man and Tang Jiuyue looked at each other. This fish, poisonous?

"You and I have both eaten the black blood centipede of Bishan, and it is invulnerable." Tang Jiuyue said unhurriedly, "This fish ...... It's still edible. ”

Shen Man, "......"

Lian Yi suddenly jumped out and snatched the rouge box in Tang Jiuyue's hand, "This rouge box is so beautiful, since Tang Baiyi doesn't use it, then give ......it to me" Her tail note suddenly became a little strange, her eyes stared at the open rouge box, her eyes were round, she suddenly looked at Shen Man, and asked, "You bought this thing?" Want to give it to Tang Baiyi? ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Shen Man felt that something was not quite right, and wanted to take a look.

Lian Yi swallowed his saliva and said, "I didn't expect your taste to be so vulgar...... I'm mistaken about you......" he said, opening the rouge box on his back and placing it on the table.

Shen Man leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but blush.

She didn't count the rouge box with a stunning beauty painted in it......

Thinking of the hawker's caution and the blush on the face of the girl who bought the rouge box, she finally understood the reason. She only felt that her face was burning red at the moment, and she didn't dare to face Tang Jiuyue again. I can't wait to find a crack in the ground and get into it, and never come out.

Tang Jiuyue picked up the rouge box, turned it over and over again, looked at it carefully, and then calmly closed it and withdrew it into her sleeve. said calmly to Shen Man, "This thing is not only given by you, but also necessary for every woman, so I will accept it." ”

Shen Man almost wanted to strangle himself, and lowered his head to rub the corners of his clothes, which were about to be broken by her.

Tang Jiuyue glanced in the direction of the kitchen and said, "Since the fish is ready, you can go and bring it to us to eat." ”
