218 Looking for a needle in a haystack

Every day in Nishishi is lively.

But on this day, Xierli was especially lively, so lively that other areas of the guide zhì became a little deserted.

It turned out that the most famous gourmet restaurant in the West City, "Centennial Zhang Kee", in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the store, specially held a big reward activity, all the dim sum in the store were 60% off, and each person was limited to 10 taels of silver each time, attracting countless customers to flock to it.

"Centennial Zhang Ji" sells all kinds of dim sum now, as many as forty or fifty varieties, all fresh and delicious, the reputation is far and wide, the taste is good, it is closed when it is sold out, every day, the customers who go to the store to buy are lined up in a long line.

Such a delicious and limited supply of food, the price is naturally expensive, today will be six discounts, it is definitely an unprecedented super discount activity, after the news spread, the entire West Market has been tempted, as long as there is time, people with a little money in hand will not let go of this opportunity.

As a result, Xierli, where "Centennial Zhang Ji" is located, was crowded with people, and several lines of queues were lined up at various street intersections, and many people were walking back and forth in the alleys, trying to find a gap to cut in line or "increase the price" to buy dim sum from customers who had already bought dim sum.

In such an environment, no one notices certain pedestrians walking along the side of the road, secretly observing something.

Among these people, there are Qiu Guhan, and Yin Nine Killings.

Both of them disguised themselves and searched carefully along the roadside of Xierli starting from the street entrance.

Qiu Yexian will definitely do it very secretively and will not leave any traces, but they all believe that Feng Jinghua will definitely find a way to leave clues.

How to find the clues she left behind is very difficult.

Because the West Market is so big. The four streets in the shape of "well" divide the West Market into nine areas, and there are criss-crossing alleys and streets in each area, and Feng Jinghua did not let Qiu Yexian find out, and the clues left must be very secret.

Trying to find hidden clues in such a large West Market is like looking for a needle in a haystack

Fortunately, when Qiu Guhan was taken to visit the West Market by Qiu Yueming and Qiu Yexian when he was a child, he was only five or six years old, as simple as a newborn baby, and the princes had not yet started to fight, so Qiu Yueming and Qiu Yexian were defenseless against him, and while taking him around, they told him which store and which house was their property, thinking that he would not keep it in mind.

However, Qiu Guhan's memory is very good, so good that when he re-enters the West Market, he begins to remember the events of that time.

He remembered several places, but after the king sent people to investigate, he was sure that there was no place to hide people.

In the end, only Xierli remained.

He was particularly impressed by Xi Erli, because at that time he ate very delicious dim sum at the "Hundred Years Zhang Ji", and it was the first time he ate folk dim sum, and while eating, he was amazed that "folk things are so delicious, better than those in the palace".

That time, it was Qiu Yexian who brought him here, and Qiu Yexian saw that he was eating so happily, so he smiled and said: "If you like it, the third brother will often buy this family's dim sum for you in the future." ”

He raised his face and smiled: "Third brother, there are a lot of delicious foods here, it would be nice if we could live here often, so that we can eat snacks here every day without running around." ”

Qiu Yexian wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, and said with a smile: "Do you see the big mansion opposite, that big mansion is the secret residence of the third brother, sometimes the third brother lives here, and he can eat delicious food as soon as he wakes up." ”

In principle, whether it is the East Market or the West Market, you can only do business and cannot live, but as long as you are rich and powerful, you can make an exception.

With the status of the princes, it is not a matter of owning a few shops or residences here.

After hearing this, he said with envy: "Third brother is good, unlike me, you can't go out of the palace casually, and you don't have your own house outside." ”

Qiu Yexian smiled: "When you grow up, you will naturally be able to leave the palace freely." When the time comes, I'll give you the house, and you can go back to sleep in the house after you've had enough to eat on the street. ”

He cheered: "The third brother is so good"

Now, Qiu Guhan looked carefully along the side of the road, remembering what happened at that time, and there was a mocking smile on his lips.

I'm afraid that as early as that time, Qiu Yexian, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, had already begun to buy people's hearts, attract talents, and secretly plan his own imperial business

It's just that Qiu Yexian just pointed at random at that time, he didn't ask Qiu Yexian which room it was, and now it is not easy to find that house, he only hopes that Feng Jinghua may have left some clues here.

Around him, the people in line, and the people who came and went, all went for the preferential activities of "Centennial Zhang Ji".

Other restaurants saw that "Centennial Zhang Ji" had attracted a large number of customers, and knew that their business was not good for the day, so they also relentlessly and carried out various preferential activities, which made the whole alley overcrowded.

There are people everywhere, and even if Autumn Night String has planted eyeliner in this area, he can't see any clues.

Qiu Guhan leaned against the wall on the side of the road and walked over slowly, giving people the feeling that the road was too crowded, and he had to walk against the side of the road, and it didn't look abnormal.

When he walked to the beckoning cat statue by the gate of a rice shop diagonally opposite the "Centennial Zhang Ji", Qiu Guhan found a small, red mass in the grass under the statue.

If you hadn't stood by the grass and looked closely, no one would have noticed this little clump.

Even if they do, no one will pay attention.

But Qiu Guhan paid attention.

He pretended to be tired of walking, stopped, bent down, and banged his legs, taking the opportunity to pick up the small mass of things.

Then leaning against the wall, with his back to the pedestrian, he opened the crumpled mass.

It's a small piece of gauze that has been torn off.

The original color of the gauze was supposed to be white, but it was dyed red and turned red.

The red color on this seems to be bloodstains.

He didn't care if the gauze had been soiled, so he put the corner of the gauze in his mouth and licked it carefully.

In the end, he was sure that it was human blood.

Looking at the color of the bloodstains, I'm afraid that four or five days have passed, and that is the time when Feng Jinghua disappeared.

He quietly stuffed the gauze into his sleeve, walked over to the rice shop quietly, and observed the rice shop quietly.

Those who dare to rent a store in the West Market must either have financial strength or excellent products, otherwise just one year's rent can kill people, and this rice store is quite open, but there are not many customers.

He took a look and found that this "Huang Ji Rice Shop" sells high-end rice noodles, and the price is more than twice as high as ordinary rice noodles.

He pretended to be a small merchant who wanted to rent a shop in the surrounding area, and selected a few stall owners to inquire about the market in this alley.

Then he inquired that "Huang Ji Rice Shop" had been open for about ten years, the shopkeeper was very polite, the boss behind the scenes was unknown, and the business did not seem to be very good, but there were many old customers, and the shopkeeper and his staff rarely interacted with the surrounding businesses.

It is certain that a store like "Huang Ji Rice Shop" must have a basement or warehouse where rice and grain are stored, and it is not too small.

Isn't such a place suitable for Tibetans?

Qiu Guhan's heart moved slightly, and he went to meet with the Hunting King, and took out the blood-stained gauze to explain his investigation and speculation.

After Yin Jiu Kill cleaned the gauze, he looked at the gauze and said slowly: "This gauze is probably the gauze curtain of the carriage." ”

This kind of gauze is light and elegant, flexible and breathable, wrinkle-free, easy to clean, and the material is excellent.

Qiu Guhan said: "She was taken away by the carriage, maybe she secretly tore a corner of the curtain of the carriage, dyed her own blood, and threw it into the grass after getting off the carriage." ”

Yin Nine Kills: "Maybe so. In any case, it is necessary to check the rice store. ”

Their speculations are not far from the facts.

When Feng Jinghua was escorted into the carriage, Qiu Yexian was sitting next to her, and the lights were still hanging in the carriage, and all the things Feng Jinghua was carrying were searched, and under the personal monitoring of Qiu Yexian, she had no way to make small movements.

But she racked her brains and tried to leave a clue.

In the sound of the carriage, she poked her fingernails into the curtain with a hand that she couldn't see, quietly tore off the corner of the curtain of the car window, crumpled it into a small ball, and hid it between her fingers.

At the same time, she secretly bit her tongue and stored a mouthful of blood.

When the carriage stopped, she covered her mouth with her hand, shoved the ball of gauze into her mouth, soaked it with blood, and then spit it into her palm.

When she got out of the car, she quietly threw the gauze ball into the grass.

She didn't know if it would work, but she had to give it a try anyway.

With a heart in her heart, Qiu Guhan and King Hunt finally discovered the clue she left behind.

Qiu Guhan stood up "Teng": "We will lurk in Xishi today and search Huang Ji Rice Store at night." ”

Yin Jiu Killing: "There may be a mechanism in the rice line. ”

Qiu Guhan sat down again: "That, what should I do?"

He also heard about the affairs of the four major families, how could Qiu Yexian waste the talents of the Hei family

Yin Jiu Kill was once trapped in the black family's organ and couldn't get out, knowing the power of the black family's organ, he didn't speak lightly at this time, but closed his eyes and pondered.

After a long time, he opened his eyes: "If you want to crack the mechanism of the black family, you have to do it with the people of the black family." ”

Qiu Guhan said: "You can invite someone from the black family"

Yin Jiu Killing: "Please don't move, but don't ask either." ”

On this day, Hei Wuya, who was still looking for Feng Jinghua in Guiling Mountain, received a message: The woman in the portrait was now hiding in the Huangji Rice Store in Xierli, Xishi, preparing to leave Tianzhou by taking the opportunity to transport goods.

Hei Wuya didn't suspect this news and immediately set off for the West Market.

He didn't think the news was necessarily accurate, but he wouldn't miss any chance of finding the woman.

And he's not afraid of any conspiracy or trap, it's a fun game for him, and the more dangerous, exciting, and fun the game is.

When he appeared in Xierli, it was already late at night.

His dress is too conspicuous, if he appears during the day, he will definitely attract the attention of others, he knows that the woman's origin is not simple, of course he will choose to act at night.

He was dressed in black, and he walked in the dark, as if he didn't have zài.

With a small tool, he gently pried open the iron door of Mihang.

He walked through the iron gate without any hindrance.

Behind the cracks in the doors of the many shops not far behind him, King Hunter, Qiu Guhan, and the masters they brought with them stared at him quietly.

The eyeliner that Qiu Yexian was ambushing in this area had already been discovered and targeted by them, and had just been killed by them, and they were now waiting for Hei Wuya to help them clear the way.

Of course, today's "Centennial Zhang Ji" will endure the pain of engaging in a six-fold discount for the whole audience, and it is the king of hunting who sent someone to pay a large price to ask the store to do so.

Yiqiē is just to confuse the public, to cause a sensation, and to facilitate their covert investigation
