Mu Xiaofeng's heart immediately sank, and he couldn't help frowning, squinting at her, "There's nothing special about it?" ”

Qiu Ni had a bitter face, and silently tried to think about it again, but when she thought about it again, it was like this. She can't just fool someone out because she is in a hurry to find the murderer.

She shook her head blankly again, "Miss, the slave really can't think of anything special about the people she met at that time. ”

Mu Xiaofeng was silent and did not question what she meant. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then what about after you go up to the second floor?" Have you ever met anyone before entering the private room? Or what happened? ”

"If you think clearly, even if it's a small and inconspicuous thing, you can tell it to me."

Qiu Ni still shook her head affirmatively, she didn't want to disappoint Mu Xiaofeng, but she really couldn't think of anything special at that time.

"Miss," Qiu Ni lowered her head a little ashamedly, and even her voice was much quieter, "After the slave and the young lady followed the guy up to the second floor, they only saw that several private rooms on the second floor were closed, and there should be guests inside." ”

She thought for a moment, and then continued, "But when we went up, no one came out of the private room at all, and from the time we went upstairs to the time we entered the private room, only the guy kept walking in front to show us the way." ”

Mu Xiaofeng sighed secretly, could it be that she was wrong?

The murderer of Hongyu was not the person he met at Sheng Ji Cloth Shop?

"Then you move on to the rest of the story."

Qiu Ni frowned, thought about it again, and said in a low voice, "After the young lady and the slave maid selected the fabric in the private room, I wanted the guy to come up and send the fabric directly to the Zhou family. ”

"But at that time, the young lady suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she went to the toilet alone, and when she came back, the slave maid went out of the private room and went downstairs to settle the bill."

Qiu Ni was silent for a while, and then there was a frightened and inexplicable look on her face, she hugged her arms, trembled for a moment, and then said slowly, "The slave maid didn't know who the young lady met after going downstairs, and she actually went out of the back alley through the back door after a short while, and when the slave and maid finished the account and went to look for her, they found that she had ...... He has been brutally killed. ”

Mu Xiaofeng lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, silently recalling what Qiu Ni said from beginning to end.

The more I thought about it, the tighter my brow became.

"Qiu Ni, you can tell me more about the situation after you arrived at the Sheng Ji Fabric Store."

She didn't believe that the murderer would not leave even a trace of it, there must be something that Qiu Ni had overlooked.

Qiu Ni glanced at her, and then hung her head nervously and reproachfully. She knew that the situation she could recall would help Miss Mu find the cruel murderer as soon as possible, but why was she so useless, and after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't think of any useful situation.

Silence, like an oppressive air, silently spreads through the room.

Qiu Ni lowered her head with a white face, slowly closing her eyes and thinking about what happened to them in the Shengji Fabric Shop.

Mu Xiaofeng was upset, but at the moment he could only wait quietly for Qiu Ni to recall something.

As the first person to always be by Zhou Hongyu's side, Qiu Ni's discovery is very important to her.

Time passed slowly, and the air seemed to become more and more oppressive and uncomfortable.

Qiu Ni, who had been staring at her toes and thinking hard, suddenly raised her head, looked at Mu Xiaofeng with bright eyes, and her trembling voice was obviously excited, "Miss, the slave maid thought of something. ”

Mu Xiaofeng glanced at her encouragingly, Qiu Ni took a breath, tried to calm herself down, and then said, "The slave remembers that when the young lady came back from going to the toilet, it seems that she had accidentally broken into other private rooms in the middle. ”

She paused and explained, "There was no obvious sign on the outside of the private room on the second floor of Sheng Kee Fabric Store, and the private room we were in the middle at that time. ”

Therefore, it is normal for Zhou Hongyu to enter other private rooms by mistake.

Mu Xiaofeng nodded, indicating that he understood. Qiu Ni then continued, "The slave seemed to hear the young lady's rather surprised cry in the private room at that time, and then when she saw the slave, she showed that she was worried and wanted to speak. ”

"Looking back now, the young lady's face at that time was very wrong, but the hated slave maid only listened to her orders to go downstairs to settle the bill, and did not pay attention to anything else."

Mu Xiaofeng's heart tightened, and at the same time of grief and indignation, there was finally a faint trace of excitement coming out, that is, the excitement of finally being able to get a glimpse of the murderer's face.

It must have been when Hongyu strayed into other private rooms and broke some secret.

The guests who can enter the private room at Sheng Kee Fabric Store are generally either rich or expensive.

But that alone wasn't enough for her to speculate about who Hongyu's killer was, and she had to learn more from Qiu Ni.

She looked at Qiu Ni encouragingly, softened her voice and said slowly, "Well done, that's it." If you think about it carefully, is there anything special that you have overlooked before. ”

Qiu Ni received her encouragement and hints, and slowly closed her eyes again. For a while, the room was quiet and audible, but the atmosphere was finally not as heavy and sad as before.

"Miss, the slave has found a special place again." Qiu Ni suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Mu Xiaofeng with a burning gaze, "It's the carriage that stayed outside the shop, and before the slave and the young lady went in, they glanced at the carriage parked nearby. ”

"The slave maid didn't notice it before, but now that I think about it carefully, I feel that the driver of one of the carriages is a little familiar."

Mu Xiaofeng listened quietly, and didn't dare to interrupt her.

"Now the slave and maid remember, the slave and maid had seen the dozing coachman at the banquet in the prince's mansion."

Mu Xiaofeng's heart sank, and even his voice was slightly urgent, "Prince's Mansion? ”

Hongyu unintentionally broke the secret of the people in the Prince's Mansion, so he was accidentally and brutally killed, could this be the case?

Qiu Ni thought she doubted herself, and immediately nodded excitedly, "Yes, it's the coachman of the Prince's Mansion, and the slave maid must be right." ”

"And what about the other two carriages?" Although Mu Xiaofeng had doubts in her heart, everything was possible before she was sure, so she immediately reminded Qiu Ni that there were other carriages parked outside at that time, "Do you have any special impressions?" ”

Qiu Ni frowned and thought for a while, then looked at her apologetically, and shook her head in frustration, "Miss, the slave maid only looked at it at that time, and I really don't remember anything special about the other two carriages." ”

Mu Xiaofeng sighed secretly in her heart, knowing that this kind of thing was useless even if she forced Qiu Ni, she couldn't think of it, she just couldn't think of it. Besides, Qiu Ni was just looking at it casually, and it was already good to be able to recognize one of the coachmen as someone from the Prince's Mansion.

When Qiu Ni bowed her head in distress, she suddenly patted her head hard, and said excitedly, "Miss, the slave has remembered." ”

Seeing this, Mu Xiaofeng's heart also hung up, "What do you think of?" ”

"When the slave chased out of the back alley to find the young lady, she stood at the door of the back door before she walked out." She shook her head half-squinted and half-confused, "The slave remembers that the first time I looked at the alley leading to the street, I happened to see a carriage leaving the back alley in the distance. ”

Mu Xiaofeng's heart was shocked, and then he was inexplicably excited, and even his heartbeat accelerated a lot. On the top of that carriage, it is very likely that there is the murderer of Hongyu.

Qiu Ni frowned, looked at her with great annoyance, and then said, "The slave didn't think about it for a while, because the carriage was heading out of the street, and it wasn't fast. ”

Mu Xiaofeng was silent in his heart, under normal circumstances, being a thief must be weak-hearted, let alone a murderer who killed someone just now. When someone comes out, you must subconsciously panic and accelerate to escape to a place with few people.

It's no wonder that Qiuni ignored this situation before.

Mu Xiaofeng closed her eyes silently, and she remembered that when Hongyu finally fell, her face was facing the direction of the street.

Even like Qiu Ni at that time, she subconsciously thought that the murderer of Hongyu should flee in the opposite direction of the alley as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that the murderer would most likely leave the murder scene with a swagger in front of Qiu Ni.

"The carriage of the Prince's Mansion was frightened after entering the private room by mistake, and the carriage left in the back alley in the direction of the street." Mu Xiaofeng silently counted in his heart, and then looked at Qiu Ni expectantly, "Can you think of anything else?" ”

"For example, what is the style of that carriage in the back alley? What particularly impressed you? ”

Qiu Ni closed her eyes and silently thought back to the moment when she was standing in the back door and looking out.

"Miss, the slave maid remembered," Qiu Ni looked at Mu Xiaofeng in surprise, "At that time, there happened to be a wind blowing from the side of the street to the alley, and the slave maid smelled a strong smell of blood......" Speaking of this, Qiu Ni lowered her head in a heavy mood, "There is also a particularly quiet wood fragrance mixed with it." ”

"Quiet woody?" Mu Xiaofeng's heart moved, "Can you be sure what kind of wood fragrance it is?" ”

Qiu Ni frowned and shook her head in distress, "The slave is not sure, but the slave knows that it is a very special fragrance of wood, which is not common in the capital. ”

Mu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Then do you remember what the style of the carriage was at that time?" Luxurious or ordinary? ”

Qiu Ni frowned and thought for a moment, "Although there is no special decoration on the outside of the carriage, the slave maid thinks it should be quite luxurious." ”

Listening to her uncertain tone, Mu Xiaofeng knew that he could no longer ask for more detailed and useful things from her mouth.

However, she asked more, just to confirm her guess.

If you can make a carriage out of logs that exude a quiet fragrance, you must be a wealthy or expensive person.

Now, she is basically sure that the person sitting in the carriage in the back alley, even if he is not the murderer who directly killed Hongyu, is definitely closely related to the murderer.

And the Prince's Mansion ......!

"Well, I understand everything." Mu Xiaofeng looked at Qiu Ni and said softly, "You go down to rest first, if you think of anything again, just remember to tell me." ”

Qiu Ni blessed her, and then gently withdrew with a sad face.

Mu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, then instructed Leng Yue, "Leng Yue, you go to the Prince's Mansion immediately, and ask her to verify some things for me." ”

Leng Yue glanced at her worriedly, knowing that there was no persuasion at this time, so she had to say, "Please give the young lady orders." ”

Mu Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, and then said with a calm face, "Let her find out who used a carriage to leave the palace in the prince's mansion today, who brought with him, and whether anyone is particularly skilled...... Well, people who are born with divine powers to use broadswords as weapons. ”

"Also, let her find out who went out of the house today to Sheng Ji Cloth Store or to the neighborhood, and who secretly had an appointment with someone."

Leng Yue looked at her in surprise, but she didn't dare to carelessly take her orders to heart.

Because she knows very well that these messages are very likely to help Miss determine who is the murderer of Zhou Hongyu.

"In addition, after the name of the Red Shadow ......" was called, Mu Xiaofeng pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, she forgot that this would have allowed the Red Shadow to appease her mother in Fenglin Residence.

"Qingruo," Mu Xiaofeng thought about it for a while, and decided to change someone to accompany her mother, "You go and change the red shadow, I have something to tell her." ”

When Qing Ruo heard her order, she immediately obeyed, turned around and walked out of the side hall to Fenglin Ju.

For some things, Qingruo is very self-aware, knowing that Miss does not trust her, but that Miss knows better what is within her ability.

Knowing people and making good use of them is also a skill of the young lady.

Qingruo quickened his pace and walked towards Fenglin Residence, while sighing silently in his heart.

I only hope that Miss can find the murderer of Miss Zhou as soon as possible to comfort Miss Zhou's undead. Miss Zhou can rest in peace, and the young lady and the eldest young master can slowly recover from their sorrow.

Hongying soon came to the side hall where Mu Xiaofeng was, "Miss, are you looking for a slave?" ”

Mu Xiaofeng rubbed his forehead and said slowly, "Come here, I have something you need to verify." ”

At that time, the guests in Sheng Ji's cloth room, and the carriage that left the back alley, all of this information needed to be verified by Red Shadow.

An hour later, Leng Yue's face condensed and returned.

When Mu Xiaofeng saw her appearance, his heart became faintly solemn.

"Miss," Leng Yue came in from outside the door, and saw that Mu Xiaofeng was still the same as before she left, sitting in that position almost without moving, and her heart immediately felt a pain, "The slave maid got the news." ”

Mu Xiaofeng raised his eyes and turned his eyes to look at Leng Yue very calmly. But she knew that her heart was definitely not so calm as it seemed on the surface at the moment. She was even a little nervous, and some indescribable excitement grew from the bottom of her heart.

"You say."

Leng Yue thought for a while, silently combed through the information in his heart, and then said slowly, "There are only two people who have been out of the Prince's Mansion today, one is Zeng Liangdi, and the other is the Crown Princess. ”

Mu Xiaofeng was stunned for a while, a little surprised but felt expected. There was silence for a moment before asking, "Where have they gone?" Who have you seen? What has been done? ”
