Chapter 107: Rouge
"This old man is said to have been working in the rouge shop for more than 30 years, as long as he smells the rouge, he will not forget it, it is the person you need, Brother Fang."
Yun Guan pointed to an old man who was a little hunched at this time, and introduced.
This old man was a little frightened at first when he was invited to the six doors, thinking that he had committed something, but when he heard that he was here to smell the rouge, he was a little more energetic.
This old man is like this, Fang Ji also understands it very well, and it should be a very confident expression on what he is doing.
"I don't know what kind of rouge the official wants me to smell?"
Yun Guan waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to bring in a few boxes of rouge, which were the rouge sold in the rouge shop.
In fact, Lin Xiande's corpse was also full of rouge, which is logically normal in the rouge shop, and the corpse is still poured in the rouge pile.
But one thing is very strange, this Lin Xian was unilaterally plotted by the murderer. In other words, the only thing Lin Xian could do before he died was to swallow the cloak torn off the deceased's body, without the slightest fight.
But it is clear that the rouge shop is all over the place, but it is very strange, it looks like the murderer deliberately sprinkled it.
"Boss, can you help us smell what these rouges are first?" Yun Guan just said.
After the old man opened his head, he replied one by one with a smile: "This purple willow is more numerous, and the color is reddish, it is vermilion......"
This old man said the style of rouge one by one, and he seemed to be full of confidence, but when he finally checked it, he said it one by one.
"Official, in fact, the rouge sold in various stores in Los Angeles is nothing more than the amount of the formula is different, but the material is basically cinnabar plus more than a dozen. Although some of them are relatively new, I am not surprised by the old man for 30 years. ”
"Oh? That old man, these kinds of rouge are mixed together, can you tell which ones are? Fang Ji asked at this time.
"Hey, sir, you asked the right person, it's hard for others to say, but my boss is still very confident in this."
Hearing this answer, Fang Ji nodded at Yun Guan, and Yun Guan immediately brought up a bunch of wrapped rouge powder, so that the old man could distinguish it.
This old man is not afraid of this "difficulty", that is, he first distinguishes it, and then sniffs the rouge carefully.
"Official, in addition to the previous ones, you have rare goods mixed here." After a while, the answer came to pass.
"Oh? What is that? Fang Ji immediately asked.
"The general rouge is nothing more than cinnabar with red and blue flowers, comfrey, purple willow, Su Fangmu, etc., but you have a rouge with pearl powder and herbs in the Western Regions, which should be quite expensive in the rouge shop, and it should only be used by the official lady. And the recipe should be privately owned. ”
"I see." Fang Ji nodded. "Then old man, isn't this thing actually very expensive?"
"Childe understands it very well, in fact, the material of this rouge is not worth a few dollars, but it is better than the girl's family to like it." This old man laughed, and this smile Fang Halberd understood again. That's not afraid of the warning of women's boxing, thinking that women's money is the best to make.
At this time, Yun Guan was a little strange, and he didn't understand what the meaning of this was.
After sending the old man away, Yun Guan asked Fang Ji the reason.
"Brother Fang, even if you know that there are other rouges in this, it won't be useful." Yun Guan grabbed his head and laughed: "Or is this rouge used by the murderer?" ”
"The reason why the murderer cares about this rouge, do you think the murderer is hiding something on the rouge?" Fang Ji asked Yun Guan rhetorically.
Yun Guan nodded when he heard this.
"Since it is such an important thing, how can the murderer still stay at the scene. In fact, this thing is rouge, and people who know it know it very well, how can laymen like us know so much. Fang Ji waved his hand and laughed. This time, the murderer obviously did too much wrong. ”
"How much is wrong?" Yun Guan was naturally a little puzzled.
"Yes, exactly." Fang Ji smiled and nodded. "It's not the rouge that matters, it's the people who use it."
Fang Ji thought about it, afraid that Yun Guan wouldn't understand, so he said: "Please think carefully, what did we do this day and where did we go?" ”
"Hey, isn't this a division of labor, Brother Lin and I went to check the rouge shop. And you and Shen Tanhua are going to Wangcheng Tower, and Brother Wang is going to find all the girls who are good with Wang Shu. What's wrong with that? ”
"Then didn't I find a dancing girl from Jiangnan, and a woman named Ye Niang." Fang Ji showed a sly smile at this time. "That's why I say it's wrong to do more. Even the murderer of Brother Lin is already obvious, it should be the one we have never met Ye Niang. ”
"Is that her? What's the explanation?! Yun Guan still didn't understand.
"Brother Yun, if I ask you, you will understand. When you make love to the cook, do you care about what kind of rouge is on her face? ”
"How do I understand this rouge woman." Yun Guan waved his hand, but then his face turned red: "Brother Fang, don't talk nonsense, what kind of affection, there is no matter." ”
Fang Ji smiled when he heard this.
"That's why I said that there are many mistakes, this Ye Niang should be the woman who helped the real murderer behind the scenes to contact Wang Shu. And she remembered one thing, and that was that there were still a few boxes of rouge in the store. This rouge is the same as the one for Wang Shu and herself! And Lao Pitou also said that this is a private formula, in other words, this rouge is really special, and it is made by Ye Niang herself! ”
"I see! I'm still half right! Yun Guan nodded and smiled at this time: "I said that this was used by the murderer himself, and it seems to be right." ”
Fang Ji knew that this was how it happened. This person named Ye Niang thought of the problem that Rouge might expose himself because of Yun Guan's large-scale search for the rouge shop, so he took the risk, but the result was that he bumped into Lin Xiande, so he could only kill people.
also because he wanted to raise a knife to kill Lin Xiande, he accidentally spilled a box of rouge. In order to cover up the rouge, he knocked over the other rouges in the rouge shop to the ground.
But in fact, all this was because killing Wang Shu was the improvised idea of the man behind the scenes.
In fact, the reason is very simple, because you need to contact often, this Wang Shu wants this Ye Niang to send this kind of rouge, so Ye Niang should have prepared a few more boxes, who knew that the man would be so ruthless, so there is a lot of wrong with this Ye Niang......
"But Brother Fang, why do you know that this Ye Niang can make rouge?" Yun Guan was a little puzzled.
Regarding this, it was Fang Ji's turn to blush: "Don't ask, don't ask." ”
That's right, Fang Ji asked when he was trapped in the room of the group of young ladies who danced. said that this Ye Niang did everything in detail, from costumes to rouge to arranging dances......
It is precisely because of this character that this Ye Niang is thinking too much and doing too much this time.
