On summer afternoons, when there are fewer people on the street, Rose lies lazily on the counter, basking in the warm sunshine, looking at the scenery outside the door that has not changed for thousands of years, and letting her thoughts fly.
"Feng Jiu, that guy doesn't seem to have been here for a long time." Rose chatted with Xiaoqian boredly.
"Miss, why do you miss him so much?" Xiao Qian stood aside and looked at Rose with some confusion.
Rose waved her hand: "I just think it's strange, that guy has to come to eat every day since he saved me a few times, but I haven't seen him during this time, is it because he was locked up?" ”
"Miss, are you alright?" Xiao Qian ridiculed her very shamelessly, "With Feng Jiu's skills, how can he be locked up by others?" ”
"So what's going on?" Rose picked up the rose cake on the counter and melted in her mouth, it felt so good.
"Who knows." Xiao Qian shrugged.
Licking the corner of her mouth, Rose said unintentionally: "It's so strange, I usually think he's annoying, but I still miss him a little bit after a long time." ”
"Ah, what are you doing?" In a daze, Rose had been overwhelmed on the counter by the sudden appearance of the sea, he lowered his head, his pupils slowly became dark purple, and looked into Rose's eyes: "I tell you, he is a wild wolf demon!" ”
"I know." Rose looked at Canghai strangely, "Boss Cang, why are you here?" What's wrong with you? ”
"Even if you linger on him, it's useless." When he had said this, he refused to speak again, but just looked straight at the rose.
Rose thought for a long time, and suddenly realized: "You don't think I fell in love with Feng Jiu, right?" ”
Canghai's face was slightly red, don't look around, it seems very embarrassing for Rose to guess what is on his mind.
"Boss Cang, it's impossible, I didn't fall in love with him." Rose looked at the sea seriously.
His head turned, gravely full of doubt.
"It's true." Rose looked directly into his distrustful eyes, "I know this very well, he is a demon, I am a human, how can a ladyboy be together?" ”
"How can shemales be together?" He repeated Rose's words, his pupils gradually darkened, and his face looked much better.
"Why are you here?" Canghai let go of the roses, sat up and straightened his clothes leisurely.
"What, aren't you welcome?" Feng Jiu walked over and helped Rose pin her messy hair behind her ears.
Canghai snatched the rose and incorporated it behind him: "It seems that you are very self-aware." ”
Seeing the scene of the two of them on the verge of breaking out, Rose's cold sweat flowed out, the two of them were nothing, but every time they met, they quarreled, and they beat after the quarrel, and then the rose dock was a mess!
Be sure to change the subject, be sure to stop them before they get into a big fight, Rose looks around trying to find some excuse.
At this time, Rose saw the strange man behind Feng Jiu, in order to understand the urgent need, she rushed to the doctor, grabbed his sleeve, and screamed.
"Wow, what a handsome man." Dizzy, what was she talking about, just when Rose regretted that her intestines were green, the two men finally succeeded in attracting attention to her words.
"Hmph, I didn't expect your vision to be so bad, and you haven't grown at all after following me for so long." Feng Jiu straightened his sleeves and looked at her with disdain.
"Huh? It turns out that Boss Rose, you like this type. Canghai also shook his head.
Rose secretly complained, in fact, she didn't even know whether this man was tall or short, fat or thin, but casually said that if he was a super invincible ugly man, then her glorious image would not be completely destroyed.
"Boss Rose, haven't you caught enough?"
"Huh?" Only then did Rose realize that she had been grabbing at the corners of other people's clothes.
Hurriedly letting go of his clothes, Rose discovered a fact that made her faint, this man was actually wearing an ink-colored gown.
Looking up at the man in front of him resignedly, Rose had a moment of distraction, it turned out that the ink color was the most suitable for him.
The man in front of him has fair skin, a resolute nose bridge, pursed lips, and an ice-carved face with the color of a snow-capped mountain, a coolness and a pride of absoluteness.
The ink-colored robe was worn on his body, which set off his cold and arrogant temperament, as if he was born for him.
If the ink color is enchanted when worn on Feng Jiu, and it is elegant when worn on Canghai, then when worn on the man in front of him, it is cold and arrogant.
"Boss Rose, it's almost, I don't have any extra time to waste." Iceberg Boy spoke, as if he was quite disdainful of Rose's behavior.
"Oh, good." Rose said a little embarrassed, turned around and asked Xiaoqian, "Who is this son?"
"This is Bai Piaoxue, Bai Gongzi." Xiao Qian introduced.
"White drifting snow? What a strange name. "It's very suitable for the paralyzed man in front of him.
Seeing his surprised expression, Feng Jiu laughed heartily: "Drifting snow, drifting snow, our name is completely unworkable here, especially in the eyes of this rose boss, I'm afraid we are not even as good as Wang Er Mazi." ”
"Who is Wang Ermazi?" Bai Piaoxue's face moved slightly, and she looked at Feng Jiu curiously, could it be that she was a new master in the rivers and lakes recently?
"It's the seller of Boss Rose's favorite xiaolongbao." Feng Jiu mouthed at Rose Nunu.
"Feng Jiu." Rose glared at Feng Jiu.
"Alright, no kidding." Canghai shrugged his shoulders and casually found a bench to sit down, as if he was already the boss of the Rose Dock, and said to Bai Piaoxue seriously: "Let's talk about business." ”
"What's going to happen to him? It's just a bunch of trouble. Feng Jiu also sat on the couch with a grin, looking at Bai Piaoxue with a cold face.
It's good now, the two of them seem to have become the owners of the Rose Dock, and put the rose, the real boss, aside!
However, Rose is not dissatisfied, it is because of Feng Jiu's big mouth that it has brought a lot of trouble to her Rose Dock, and now, it is not like a rouge gouache shop, but like a detective agency and a professional demon hunting household.
"There are now three sons on the rivers and lakes, namely Feiyang Gongzi, Piaoxue Gongzi and Lingfeng Gongzi. Presumably, your Excellency is the Drifting Snow Boy known as the "Iron Blood God Hunt", right? Canghai asked lightly.
Bai Piaoxue nodded.
"What the hell is going on?" Rose looked at him curiously, is there anything else that the famous "Iron Blood God Catcher" Drifting Snow Boy can't solve?
"Here's the thing. A few days ago, there was a big case in the city, and although the suspect was found, there were many strange ......," Bai Piaoxue said.
"Destroy the door? It's been a long time since I've met, so it......'s kind of interesting," Rose muttered to herself.
"Exactly. The suspect has been arrested, the evidence is complete, but he refuses to admit his guilt - there are many suspicions, and the county guard refuses to take care of people's lives, but his subordinates are very stupid and can't find out the clues...... In the details, I also hope that the boss of the rose will temporarily move his toes. Bai Piaoxue continued.
The government is in a prison cell. The cells were empty, not like other prisons filled with pits and valleys, which showed that the county was under great rule and there were no more people in the prison.
The small sedan chair in which Rose rode quietly stopped in front of the prison.
The prison was filthy, and a sour smell came to my face. Rose was unconscious, and pointed her finger at the long-bearded man in the corner who was clenched like a clay sculpture and covered in dirt—and asked, "Is he there?" ”
Bai Piaoxue nodded and shouted, "Wu Nan! Wu Nan! ”
The man raised his head sluggishly, and saw the rose at a glance: but seeing her starry eyes, her complexion was beautiful, her sideburns were like ink, and her white clothes were better than snow, standing beside Bai Piaoxue, her quiet and beautiful state was like a Guanyin in the world.
His eyes lit up, and the first sentence turned out to be: "Guanyin Bodhisattva?!" ”
Bai Piaoxue couldn't cry or laugh, and reprimanded: "Bold! This is Boss Rose. Blue sky and white sun, where is the Bodhisattva? It was your sister who slammed into the government and sued, broke her arm to complain, and alarmed the county keeper with your case......"
Wu Nan's bloodstained face suddenly changed color: "Sister? ”
Bai Piaoxue ignored it and continued: "Lord County Shou has always been clear, moved by your sister, and thinking about the virtue of heaven's good life, I am afraid that if I give you in. That's why I was ordered to wait for the investigation. It's just that this case is too bizarre, all the evidence is complete, and it is very difficult to return your innocence. ”
He glanced at Rose and said, "Boss Rose has repeatedly solved big cases, and I have worked so hard to find him, which is also your blessing." At this time, Boss Rose asks you, and you need to be truthful—and you can't hide your falsehood from her eyes. ”
Rose sat down on the chair that the jailer had moved, facing Wu Nan across the fence, and said warmly: "Who arrested the criminal, first tell me about the situation that day." ”
A young jailer stepped forward, simply saluted, and said, "Boss Rose, that day coincided with the villain on duty, and I got a report from the wealthy Ma family in the city, saying that the master Ma Tianhai died violently, and Mrs. Shui and the little young master did not know where to go. Alarmed the whole mansion for a while, the family members searched around, only to see that there was a burden in Mrs. Shui's room, and this Wu Nan's soul was not guarded, and was waiting under the flower wall, so they came to see the official together. ”
Rose let out an "oh" and said, "Lady Water?" ”
The jailer leaned over and said, "The fourth lady of the Ma family, Mrs. Ma, died early and never renewed. The wives and concubines of the Ma family are also quite rare, Mrs. Weishui gave birth to a son, who was only two years old, and Ma Tianhai was quite fond of her mother and son. ”
"Pampering?" Wu Nan raised his head angrily and exclaimed, "Boss Rose, you don't know how miserable the water is!" Where is Ma Tianhai's wife and concubine scarce? They were all tortured to death one by one! If Shui'er hadn't given birth to this son, I'm afraid that a big tree would have grown on the grave long ago! ”
The rose eyebrows were not easy to detect, and raised slightly: "Wu Nan, you and Mrs. Shui are very familiar with each other!" ”
Wu Nan was stunned, and said with some surprise: "I'm the villain...... and Shui'er are cousins and sisters, childhood sweethearts. That angry look appeared on his face again: "If it weren't for the villain's aunt who was greedy for money and married Shui'er to Ma Tianhai as a concubine, how could there be today's tragedy?" ”
The young jailer couldn't help but say, "Lady Shui and the little young master followed you, aren't they still nowhere to be found?" ”
Wu Nan blurted out: "It's not me!" I haven't seen their mother and son! ”
Bai Piaoxue raised her voice and shouted out: "Take the princess!" ”
Wu Nan opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. The sound of footsteps sounded, and a woman was brought in, she had a pair of big feet, her head was wrapped in a brocade handkerchief, but her figure was very strong. He kowtowed sharply and shouted, "See my lord, this girl looks like Guanyin." A pair of eyes looked at the rose curiously, obviously not understanding which god it was.
Bai Piaoxue shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! This Boss Rose, re-investigate the case of the Ma family's annihilation, you have to answer well, and tell Boss Rose in detail about the matter between Wu Nan and Mrs. Shui. ”
The princess replied, "The little woman knows best—my lord doesn't know that he and I have lived together for a year or two. Later, the little woman often wore a boudoir to sell needlework and flowers, and in a month, she could also go to Ma's house three or four times. Lady Water......"
Wu Nan coughed, Wang Po glanced at him, and said, "Military attaché, you are ashamed." This is an official question, and I can't hide anything from you. My lord, the military attache and Shui'er were good friends, and later after Shui'er entered the Ma family, the military attache still walked around with the reputation of his relatives, and there were several private meetings, and it was also the little woman who pulled the strings, and the golden ear digging the day before yesterday, didn't you ask me to give it to Shui'er? Of course, he didn't let the little woman do anything in vain, and always got some benefits. ”
After all, Wu Nan was young, and he was immediately embarrassed.
Rose smiled: "Grandma Wang, in this way, do you know a little bit about the situation of the Ma family?" ”
Wang Po tugged her sleeves and said unhurriedly: "My lord, Rongyu - it was okay at first, the Ma family is a big family, and of course the life is very rich." Only later, Master Ma dreamed of asking for immortality, talked with some Taoist priests every day, and burned the Dan furnace to refine the immortal medicine. Who doesn't know the people of the city? Later, it became more and more crazy, and the concubines looked like stones one by one, and they all left behind. He was also short-lived, three died in two years, two died of heat stroke in the summer, and one said that he jumped into the lotus pond. Afraid of damaging his body, he rushed to burn it, but fortunately, the three concubines were bought from other places, and no one quarreled with him.
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the military attache came to me, saying that Shui Er couldn't stay at Ma's house and made an appointment with him to escape. He set a time and made an appointment on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, when he was tired and went to bed during the day, he was going to climb over the wall. At that time, the little woman went to Mafu for some reason and told Mrs. Water these words. Mrs. Shui said that it is good, but the old man has been in poor temperament recently, and if he finds that he can't leave, he is afraid that even his life will be difficult to protect! She also showed me a new wound on her arm, ahhh She said that the old man was annoyed and picked up a paperweight casually.
The little woman asked her why her lord was upset, but she refused to say anything, but sat down in her chair and wept. After crying for a long time, he said that if that was the case, he would rather kill him first! ”
Wu Nan couldn't help but shout: "Boss Rose! Ma Tianhai was never killed by Shui'er, and the villain didn't take Shui'er's mother and son! ”
The jailer said disdainfully: "Boss Rose Mingjian, Ma Tianhai was not killed by Mrs. Shui, and it has nothing to do with you!" If it weren't for the **** thing, it would have been three shifts, why would you wander outside Mafu? Presumably, the two of them made an appointment to poison the head of the family first, and then eloped, but who knew that the Ma family was in chaos for a while, but you couldn't get out. ”
Wu Nan's face was flushed, and he shouted: "I, Wu Nan, have endured Miki's heavy punishment, broken muscles and bones, and suffered a lot of pain, is it because I am afraid of death?" My sister is desperate to sue again, don't you believe her brother? That Ma Tianhai, if he doesn't die, I will kill him sooner or later! Death is death, but the whereabouts of Shui'er's mother and son are unknown, and I can't see the villain! ”
His face was bruised and swelled, and the skin from the neck down was festering, obviously suffering a lot, but his eyes were terrifyingly bright: "Boss Rose! Ma Tianhai is not human! Originally, the Ma family was also a rich family, and I would marry Shui'er to him. Who knew that in the past few years, Ma Tianhai has been obsessed with seeking immortals and asked, refining medicine and alchemy all day long, his temper is irritable, and he will move the whip when it doesn't go his way! At first, he only beat people, but gradually he didn't even let go of the concubine! He ......"
Canghai, who was stationed outside the prison, only heard this, and couldn't help but shake his head, and said secretly: "Stupid, this confirms your motive for killing!" Because of love and hatred, the crime of protecting love and murder, how can you get rid of it? ”
Rose suddenly interrupted him and asked, "If you can deduce from it, where did Lady Water's mother and son go?" ”
Wu Nan opened his mouth and stammered, and after a while, Fang said dejectedly: "The villain doesn't know." He shook his head and tried his best to recall: "What Wang Po said is true, the villain can't bear to see Shui'er being abused, and he did have the intention to elope with her, and also take her son with him...... I made an appointment for the third watch in the middle of the night on the Dragon Boat Festival, and I waited outside the flower wall. Who knows......"
His expression gradually became confused: "I was ready that day, washed and changed clothes, packed my bags, and waited outside as soon as it was dark. My heart was beating wildly, and I was afraid that she would be discovered by the Ma family, and I was afraid that I would be discovered by the family members who patrolled the night. It was a very dewy night, and the night was cold, and I waited outside the wall to see the moon in the sky, which had gradually risen into the middle sky. ”
"There is a gap in the flower wall, I secretly looked inside, and saw that the lights of the Ma family, all of them were extinguished, only there were lights in Ma Tianhai's Dan room. I heard that he was keen on alchemy, and often stayed up all night, I saw the light, and I was so anxious, lest he refuse to sleep, and Shui'er would not be able to come out, because his alchemy also needs to be served, and Shui'er's room is next to the Dan room. I heard the husband's bangzi, the first watch, the second watch, and finally the third watch...... On the third watch, the lights in the Dan room were not extinguished, but I cheered up and stared at the wall, afraid that the water would fall from there. But wait and wait, wait and wait, wait and wait......"
His voice choked: "No matter how I waited, I didn't wait for the water to come." I was in a hurry, and I heard a commotion in the house, and in an instant, the lights were bright, and many people were rummaging around with lanterns. I was puzzled, and when I was about to leave, I was caught by the family who came out...... I, I can't tell why I stayed outside the wall of the Ma family during the third watch, so they couldn't help but say that they arrested me, and I also learned from their shouting that Ma Tianhai died violently, and Shui'er's mother and son were missing......"
He clung to the bar, burst into tears, and exclaimed, "Boss Rose! I thought about it, but I couldn't think of where the mother and son would go? There is a family keeping vigil at the main gate, and I have been guarding outside the flower wall in the back garden, how did she get out of this Ma family's mansion and where did she go? Why didn't she come to me? I didn't even bring a burden, a weak woman with a child......" Speaking of this, tears flowed down her face, and she was already full of sorrow, and she was so choked that she couldn't speak.
Rose frowned, stared at him for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
Bai Piaoxue ordered the arrester to pull down the cell door again, but Wu Nan pounced on the door and refused to go in, crying: "Boss Rose! Where is the water? Find the water quickly! Why do you want to die, why die? ”
A few quick catchers kicked him in. The sound of chains has been very neatly slammed shut the cell door.
"Boss Rose, Boss Rose, the villain was guarding outside the flower wall in the back garden of the Ma family that night, and he also found a strange thing!" Wu Nan said loudly in prison.
"What's the matter?" Rose asked, turning around.
"The villain found that ten girls walked out of the back garden of Ma's house, with their hands tied and rags stuffed in their mouths, following behind a man in black." Wu Nan said.
"What? Could it be that this Ma family is still related to the recent disappearance of young girls? Without waiting for Rose to speak, Bai Piaoxue preemptively said.
"The case of the missing girl?" Rose frowned, as a feminist, she immediately couldn't bear it when she heard this.
"Yes, there have been several cases of missing girls in the city recently. We haven't had a clue, but we didn't expect it to be related to the Ma family! Bai Piaoxue said.
"So what do their disappearances have in common? How can you be sure that the same person did it? Rose asked.
Bai Piaoxue glanced at Rose appreciatively: "First, they all disappeared at night; Second, they didn't struggle or scream when they disappeared; Third; And most importantly, this was found at the scene of their disappearance. ”
He took out a flower from his long sleeves, a black flower, exuding a rich fragrance, but the fragrance seemed to contain a faint smell of blood, giving the rose a feeling of extravagance to destruction.
"What is this?" Rose looked at it, "Is it ...... again?"
"That's right, it's a mandola flower." Canghai came over at some point, staring at the flowers in Bai Piaoxue's hands.
Bai Piaoxue's face showed a look of surprise: "I knew that it was right to look for you, how about it?" Any clues? ”
Canghai looked at him deeply: "Do you want to know everything, or do you want to find the missing girl?" ”
Bai Piaoxue's face showed a puzzled expression: "Is there any difference between the two?" ”
Canghai nodded: "Yes, if you want to find the girl, don't ask anything, let us do it; If you have to ask where it came from, then we won't bother with it. ”
Like Bai Piaoxue, Rose was also taken aback, but she knew that Canghai definitely had his reason for saying this, so she turned her head and ignored Bai Piaoxue's eyes for help.
"Okay." To everyone's surprise, Bai Piaoxue simply agreed, "We can agree, but you must solve these two cases in five days, otherwise, you have to tell us everything." ”
Rose looked at Canghai and then at Bai Piaoxue, he shook his head as if he knew what Rose was going to say: "There is no room for negotiation. ”
"Okay." Canghai also simply agreed, "However, during our investigation, you are not allowed to follow us, and you must give us everything we need." ”
"Deal." Bai Piaoxue agreed to the conditions of the moon mark, then stood up and walked out of the prison, "Then I'll wait and see." ”
Following behind Bai Piaoxue, after walking out of the prison, Rose and Canghai fell into a long silence, he didn't speak, and Rose didn't say anything.
Finally, he broke the silence: "Don't you ask me? ”
Rose smiled and shook her head: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also guessed a few points." ”
"Oh?" He blinked, looking at the rose with some surprise.
"Don't underestimate me." Rolled his eyes back unhappily, "When you asked not for their help, I guessed that this was not done by people, right?" ”
Canghai smiled and shook his head: "Woman, it's better not to be so smart." ”
"So, I guessed right, right?" Ignoring his regretful tone, Rose asked.
He nodded and gave Rose an affirmative answer: "That's right, from the moment I saw the mandala hua, I knew that this thing was not done by people, mandala hua, the flower of hell, not the flower of the world." ”
Indeed, it is not the flower of the world, and the cruel and gorgeous beauty is not what the world should have. (To be continued.) )
