Su Jinshi sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to trust them, it's that they don't trust me. ”

"Then Tang Gongzi and Miss Tang are not distrustful of us."

"Indeed, it's just that Lu Ning doesn't trust me, Tang Mingze and Tang Yaxin are just his subordinates, then Lu Ning is a scheming person, and besides, his status is also unattainable by us." Su Jinshi said with a sigh.

"Tang Mingze and Tang Yaxin can be friends, but Lu Ning is not so easy."

Nian Su was a little confused when he heard this, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "My mother once told me that if you want to get the sincerity of others, you must pay your own sincerity. ”

"I haven't been through a lot, but I know it's not bad to have more friends."

Nian Su's expression was very serious, Su Jinshi couldn't help but touch her head, thinking in her heart, she was so careful, wasn't it for her? She has long been her weakness.

"Alas, Jinshi, although I don't know what Lu Ning thinks, but the Tang brothers and sisters treat us very well, since they have that heart, why should we embarrass them?" Nian Su said in a low voice.

Su Jinshi didn't speak, and she sighed in her heart.

**

In the afternoon, Tang Yaxin invited Su Jinshi and Nian Su to Tang Mingze's house again, but they came to discuss the case.

This case, although the methods are different, there are some similarities with the previous cases, such as serial killings, and the murderer this time is also psychologically abnormal.

"This case is a little different from the previous ones, the prefect of the city is trying his best to thoroughly investigate the case, but he has no clue, and he does not shield criminals like the previous prefect." Tang Mingze said with a frown.

Su Jinshi and Lu Ning nodded at the same time, and Su Jinshi frowned when he saw Lu Ning like this, a little embarrassed.

Lu Ning didn't have any other looks, just listened to Tang Mingze seriously.

"If we want to solve this case, we naturally have to start with the yamen, if there is no one in the yamen, the murderer will not be able to escape the government's investigation again and again." Tang Mingze continued.

"The victims that can be identified, Lu Ning and I have also investigated them one by one, whether they are men, women or children, the murderer has never let go, and there are both good and evil people among the victims, and there is nothing in common, the only difference is a woman in a Qinglou who disappeared more than ten days ago, and the body has not been found so far." Tang Yaxin told all the information she had gotten.

The woman in the green house?

Su Jinshi thought about it, when she first started investigating the case, she went to the restaurant and teahouse in Lancheng together in the same year, and seemed to have heard the two sons mention this matter again.

"Su Su, the woman in the Qinglou ......" Before Su Jinshi finished speaking, he saw Nian Su frowning and nodding.

She remembered telling everyone about it at that time, and after she said this, several people had memories.

"It's a little different, it seems that the bodies of those victims were found within a few days after they disappeared, if the Qinglou woman failed to find the body, it may be because the murderer hid her body too secretly, or ......" Before Tang Mingze finished speaking, Lu Ning continued:

"Or, the woman in the green house was not killed."

"If that's the case, the murderer must have an unusual relationship with the Qinglou woman!" Su Jinshi answered, she looked at Lu Ning, and there was a bright light flashing in her eyes.

Lu Ning nodded, "Let's investigate from this Qinglou woman first, the Qinglou woman is inconvenient to enter, so I will go with Gongzi, and you will find the news of those two Gongzi brothers." ”

The other four all nodded in agreement, and although this was not a heavy clue, it was also a breakthrough.

"I, Susu, Yaxin, the three of us will go to the teahouse first to try our luck and see if we can meet them." Su Jinshi said.

Tang Mingze instructed Tang Yaxin a few words, and then followed Lu Ning to leave first.

Nian Su went back to the room to take a look at Xiaodouzi, and Su Jinshi and Tang Yaxin waited for Nian Su in the room.

"Jinshi, don't you want to be with us now?" Tang Yaxin's tone was a little sad.

Su Jinshi looked at her and saw that her eyes were bright, but she had lost her original agility and liveliness, she sighed, "Your identity is too noble, I'm afraid that Su Su and I will fall into the abyss as soon as we stumble." ”

Tang Yaxin didn't speak, but her eyes gradually became sad, "I have also experienced a lot during this time, Lu Ning...... Although he doesn't listen to you, he doesn't care about you, because of who he is, he always has to take care of a lot of ......"

"Yaxin, you don't have to speak for him, I understand, it's just that we have different ways." Su Jinshi interrupted her softly.

Tang Yaxin pursed her lips and did not speak.

At this time, Nian Su came in, and Tang Yaxin quickly packed up her love and went out with the two.

**

Qinglou.

Tang Mingze and Lu Ning received a warm welcome from the old bustard in the green building, and the old bustard praised the girl in his building while leading the way, but Tang Mingze and Lu Ning had no intention of doing so.

"I can't imagine that one day I will come to this land of smoke and willows with you." Tang Mingze said with a low chuckle.

Lu Ning glanced at him and reminded, "As early as when we were in Windy City, we went there together. ”

"Eh, that's not counting, it's just a place to enjoy dancing and music, this is a real place to have fun." Tang Mingze glanced at him, with some schadenfreude in his eyes.

"I mean, it's the first time you've been to a place like this." Tang Mingze whispered in Lu Ning's ear.

Lu Ning pretended to cough, looked ahead, and said seriously: "How could I come here!" ”

Tang Mingze laughed a few times in a low voice and stopped talking, but Lu Ning's ears turned a little red.

The old bustard took the two of them to a room, and as soon as they entered the room, a pungent smell of fat powder came to their nostrils, and Tang Mingze and Lu Ning frowned.

"The two sons don't come here often, today I will find a few good girls to serve the two well, I have a few girls who are still young, and the two masters are satisfied~" The old bustard saw that the two men looked a little bad, and he didn't want to lose the opportunity to make money, so he began to flatter him vigorously.

Tang Mingze smiled at the old bustard and asked, "Do you have a girl named Bai Yu?" I had heard that the girl was very skilled, and my brother and I wanted to see it. ”

The old bustard frowned, his face was a little unpleasant, but he saw that Tang Mingze seemed to really admire the name of Bai Yu, so he had to say: "This white jade girl is not in my building recently, and she has disappeared more than ten days ago, and she didn't just escape......

Tang Mingze and Lu Ning had already expected this to be the case, but Lu Ning was still a little embarrassed and said: "So, it's really unfortunate, I wonder if this white jade girl has any good friends in this building?" If you want to have a good relationship with the white jade girl, this skill will not be bad. ”

Tang Mingze almost laughed when he saw Lu Ning's appearance, but he still said that "the skills will not be bad" in a serious manner.

I only smiled in my heart, but I still nodded with a reasonable look on my face.

When the old bustard heard this, he was naturally overjoyed, so he ordered someone to prepare food and drink, and went down to arrange for the girl.

When the old bustard left, Tang Mingze couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, and sat on the chair and laughed non-stop, while Lu Ning's face was already as black as carbon.

**

Inside the teahouse.

Su Jinshi and the three of them ordered three cups of tea, chatting casually, while paying attention to the movements around them, but Tang Yaxin looked like she wanted to talk and stopped.

Nian Su saw it in his eyes, but he didn't ask, Su Jinshi directly pretended not to see it, the three of them had been working in the teahouse for about half an hour, but they didn't get any useful information.

Tang Yaxin gradually lost her patience, but Su Jinshi still paid attention to her surroundings, although she was sitting in a remote position, she could see the whole audience.

She inadvertently drifted her eyes over the door, but saw a beggar walking slowly, and she thought the beggar was very familiar.

"Susu, look at the beggar at the door, have we seen it anywhere?" Su Jinshi said in a low voice.

Tang Yaxin and Nian Su both looked at the door.

"No, it's just a beggar." Tang Yaxin said nonchalantly.

Nian Su frowned, "This seems to be the beggar I saw a few days ago." ”

Su Jinshi nodded affirmatively, "Susu, Yaxin, you continue to listen here, I'll go and ask the beggar." ”

After speaking, Su Jinshi got up and left, Tang Yaxin shouted, but no one paid attention, and sighed again.

"If you feel sleepy, sleep for a while, I'll listen here, and if someone appears, I'll call you." Nian Su said with a smile.

Tang Yaxin looked at Nian Su and wanted to speak, but she didn't say anything.

"Actually, it's fun to listen to them talk." Nian Su continued.

When Su Jinshi came out of the teahouse, she saw that the beggar turned into the alley, she followed closely, but when she saw that the alley was a dead end, she had doubts in her heart.

"The beggar in front, I have a few copper plates here, do you want them?" Su Jinshi shouted at the beggar's back.

The beggar stopped, but did not turn away, but said, "Girl, don't come unharmed." ”

Su Jinshi frowned, but did not speak, a strange feeling surged in her heart, she remembered that the first time she met this beggar, it seemed that it was all related to this case, and she obviously didn't say anything to this beggar, but he seemed to know a lot.

It seems that she also knows that she is investigating this case, and seems to know it...... Who is the murderer.

This feeling reminded her of Mo Feng, the man who was in the prison next door to her when she was in prison.

At this time, the beggar turned around, "Miss Su, I seem to have advised you not to investigate such a case. ”

Su Jinshi was really taken aback when she heard this voice, this was clearly Mo Feng's voice, even if so much time had passed, she still remembered his voice and his advice to her.

But it was clearly not this voice before......

"You ......" Su Jinshi looked at the beggar in front of him in disbelief.

saw that he took out a cloth and wiped all the dirt off his face, there was a thick layer, and the appearance he presented was Mo Feng.

Su Jinshi took a step back and pursed his lips, could this be the art of disguise?

"Miss Su, I don't think you forgot about it when you were in prison, right?" He paused, but didn't wait for Su Jinshi to speak, and said again: "I once advised you not to investigate the case, but you ignored it, and now that it has reached this point, it is irreparable, and I think you also know the danger." ”

Su Jinshi's mouth pursed into a line, but he still didn't speak.

Mo Feng sighed, and looked at Su Jinshi's eyes with some pity, "It's really good that you have gone all the way and solved the case all the way, but do you know that the more you know, the more dangerous it is?" At this point, it's impossible for you to get out, and I can only give you one piece of advice. ”

"If you meet him, don't be strong, don't lie, and ...... Don't disobey. ”

Su Jinshi's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly laughed, "Mo Feng, do you remember what I said to you in prison?" ”

"After all this experience, you have given me the so-called advice again, and I still give you those words back."

"If you know something □□, I advise you to denounce it as soon as possible, so as not to let innocent lives suffer from it."

Mo Feng sneered, "Whistleblowing? Do you think it's that simple? Officials*, the bitter ones are also the people, whistleblowing? Where do you go to denounce? ”

"It is only a matter of time before the wicked man can cover the sky with one hand, and justice will eventually prevail over evil." Su Jinshi looked at Mo Feng with a cold look in his eyes.

"You can't show people with your real name, you can't show people with your true face, are you happy with this kind of life?"

Mo Feng didn't speak, just shook his head, and suddenly turned around and looked into the depths of the alley, which was dark and dim, no sunlight entered, and the towering wall surrounded this small road like a copper wall, Su Jinshi suddenly felt that Mo Feng's back was a little desolate.

She didn't know why Mo Feng had fallen to such a point, and she didn't know why he was always alone.

She didn't ask him where his family was or if he had someone he loved.

At this moment, she suddenly forgave him for knowing a lot but not reporting it.

Maybe he has his story, he has his struggles.

"Miss Su, I hope that the justice you represent will eventually prevail."

Mo Feng's voice had an indescribable sadness, and a gust of wind blew, and Su Jinshi only felt cold to the bone.

Inside the teahouse.

Tang Yaxin woke up from sleep, and saw that Su Jinshi had not come back yet, Nian Su was still listening to the people around him drinking tea and chatting with relish, and suddenly became deflated again.

"Nian Su, let's not go to other teahouses to take a look, they may drink tea in other teahouses." Tang Yaxin took a sip of tea and pouted.

I didn't hear Nian Su speak for a long time, so I asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Nian Su's eyes were staring at one place, her expression was very strict, Tang Yaxin's heart instantly rose, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "Did you appear?" ”

Inside the Green Building.

After three rounds of drinking, Tang Mingze and Lu Ning had two girls in their arms, but they were happy.

The girls in this building drank and sang, danced and undressed, but Tang Mingze and Lu Ning had no way at all.

"The girls here are really different......," Tang Mingze said to Lu Ning in a low voice, his tone full of helplessness.

Lu Ning didn't speak, but his face became worse and worse, and the two of them poured these girls almost enough, and began to ask.

"Do you have a good relationship with that white jade girl?" Tang Mingze hugged a girl and asked with a smile.

The girl had never seen such a handsome man, so she naturally had to answer all questions, but the girl had been trained by the bustard, and she never stopped in her hands, and she untied Tang Mingze's clothes with silky eyes.

"Naturally, it's good, we and Bai Yu are the best sisters."

"Yes, yes, Sister Baiyu has taught us a lot!" Several other girls also chimed in, and the movements in their hands were also non-stop.

Lu Ning and Tang Mingze quietly put on their clothes, and asked again, "Why did the white jade girl suddenly disappear?" What do you know □□? ”

The girls were already drunk, and they were gossiping:

"How do we know what □□, it's just that this Bai Yu told us before that she was about to leave here, saying that someone was willing to ransom her!"

"Yes, yes, it's just that there are no real feelings in this green building, and it's not all a lie."

"It's just that the white jade actually believed."

"Alas, this white jade is the top brand in the building, but it is gone at this time, and there is a lot less business in the building......"

"I just hope that Bai Yu has escaped from here and is still alive and well, and we will be happy."

"yes......"

"Childe, why are you wearing so many clothes? It's been so long, why haven't you moved? ”

Tang Mingze smiled and took the girl's hand, and said with a smile: "If you are slow to solve it, it will be dark this day, and it will not be fun if you haven't solved it yet." ”

The girls laughed twice, leaned directly into the arms of the two, raised the wine glass and fed Tang Mingze a mouthful, and said with a smile: "I heard that the sons came here in the name of Baiyu?" ”

Tang Mingze poured a few more cups of the two girls, and said with a smile: "That's the case, but when I came in, I found that you are also delicate and exquisite!" ”

The girls laughed non-stop, but they became sad again.

Tang Mingze waited for an opportunity and said, "Did the two girls remember Bai Yu?" Do you know who is going to ransom the white jade? I can help you go and see if Bai Yu is with him, and if so, I'll come back and tell you, okay? ”

Although the four girls were a little drunk, they were not all drunk, and they smiled at this time: "What if you know that she is doing well?" We can't leave this land of smoke and willows. ”

As he spoke, several people took another drink.

Lu Ning's eyes urged Tang Mingze to finish quickly, but Tang Mingze had a speechless expression, thinking: He is working hard to check the news here, he is good, nephrite is warm and fragrant in his arms, the little wine is drinking, and the beautiful women are waiting, and he is so disgusted.

"The one who can redeem the white jade girl must be a rich person, but I don't know which son's brother?" Lu Ning asked.

But a girl scoffed, "Where is the rich man?" It is precisely because he is a poor ghost that we feel that Bai Yu cannot redeem himself. ”

"Yes, it would be nice if a rich man came and ransomed it, but the family of that man was not rich."

"Then how can you say that you want to ransom the white jade?"

"I heard Sister Bai Yu say that before she entered the land of wind and dust, that person had a mountain alliance with her, even if she was defiled, that person would still not abandon her, and he would come to see her once a month."

Tang Mingze and Lu Ning glanced at each other, knowing that they had received useful news.

"Do you know who that man is?" Tang Mingze asked.

The girls shook their heads one after another, drinking wine one by one, and sighed that Bai Yu could have such a person die for her.

Tang Mingze and Lu Ning saw that the four girls were almost drunk, and there was no useful news, so they let them get drunk.

When the five of them returned to the inn, it was already dusk, and the setting sun reflected the sunset in the west, and the west was fiery red.

After a brief dinner, several people met in Tang Mingze's room.

"We saw those two boys in the teahouse today!" A few people just sat down, and Tang Yaxin couldn't wait to say.

Tang Mingze looked at them with some surprise, "I saw it today?" ”

Tang Yaxin nodded, "Those two sons should often linger in the land of smoke and willows, they often discuss that matter in that teahouse, Nian Su and I quietly followed them after they left, I used some effort to drag them to a dead end, and then I asked something." ”

As he spoke, Tang Yaxin's face overflowed with pride, and Tang Mingze frowned and said, "Kung Fu? Just your three-legged cat? ”

Tang Yaxin glanced at him, "Although it can't be compared with you, it is more than enough to subdue two scum who only know how to have fun." ”

Tang Mingze couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he took a sip of tea and asked, "And then?" What did you ask? ”

"The two of them just went there to have fun, and they didn't know anything about the case, but ......" Tang Yaxin hesitated, a little reluctant to say the following.

"What?" Lu Ning asked.

Tang Yaxin raised her eyes to look at Lu Ning, but lowered her eyes again, and she just didn't want to say anything.

Tang Mingze set his eyes on Nian Su, "What's wrong?" What did you ask? ”

Nian Su's face was a little ugly, but he still spoke: "They said...... I want to redeem the white jade girl and place it in a courtyard. ”

Tang Mingze was a little puzzled, he looked at Lu Ning, "Could it be that they are the ones who want to redeem the white jade?" ”

Lu Ning didn't speak, and continued to ask Nian Su, "Placed in a courtyard?" ”

Nian Su nodded, and said in a very soft voice, "Place it in a courtyard, and then ...... Played with them along with the other girls they ransomed......"

Tang Mingze and Lu Ning didn't hear Nian Su's words clearly, but Su Jinshi could hear them clearly, and her face instantly became ugly.

Su Jinshi gently covered Nian Su's hand and said comfortingly: "I'm sorry, I didn't stay with you." ”

Nian Su shook his head and signaled that he was fine, Tang Mingze and Lu Ning looked at Nian Su and Tang Yaxin's appearances, both of which were unclear.

"Su Su said that the two people worked together to redeem the girl in the Qinglou and place it in the courtyard for them to play with." Su Jinshi said coldly.

Tang Mingze and Lu Ning were also stunned, and then they felt faintly disgusting.

None of the five spoke.

Su Jinshi held Nian Su's hand tightly and comforted her silently.

At this time, she felt that the two sons were even more disgusting than the two murderers before, they gave those women hope, but led them deeper into the abyss.
