Twenty-two The night is fragrant, and the people in the night

The night is deep, the wind is high and the night is dark. An antique inn with dim green leaves. At this time, the inn in the dark is in the dead of night.

"Meow..."... In the silence of the night, a sudden cat meow did not wake up the sleeping people. And one of the houses in the inn has a faint glimmer of light.

A deep long skirt, as if it was one with the night, the pace of flowing clouds and water, drifting through the inn corridor.

The black shadow stopped outside the door of the house with the lights on, listened carefully to the door, and suddenly found that the door was a little cracked, and the owner of the house was careless and did not lock it.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and carefully pushed the door open. The figure quickly flashed into the room and closed the door with his backhand.

In front of the window sat a man, about fifty or sixty years old, with a swollen and fat figure, wearing a luxurious gold-rimmed nightgown, looking at something at the table. The slight push on the door made him look back, his eyes ready to scream with horror.

The woman with a black veil masked face showed only two eyes. The amorous eyes threw a wink at him. Finger touted to his lips, sign language signaling him not to speak.

A pair of charming eyes hooked people's souls, and another dark fragrance hit. Dumbfounded, he looked at the sudden Yanfu, and the whole person seemed to be frozen.

She squinted and smiled at him charmingly, twisting her bewitching posture, slowly approaching with her head in a sassy posture, and hooking her fingers seductively.

"Ahh The hatred couldn't crush her gaze, and it was already hooked.

The woman in front of him, although she was tightly wrapped, couldn't see her true face clearly, but her seductive eyes and well-defined waist were like an intoxicating poison, which made him want to burn himself.

He stiffened and shuddered, and spread his arms to lunge at her. The longing pant seemed to be about to run out of breath.

She smiled wickedly, seducing him firmly. Unexpectedly, he only turned the whites of his eyes up, and suddenly fell down inexplicably.

The masked woman looked at him lying upright on the ground, as if she was also startled by the sudden situation. She stayed for a moment, then calmed herself down, walked forward and squatted down quickly, fumbled in his pocket, got the money bag she wanted, and turned it over to the bed again. Only then did he quietly escape from the inn.

"No, no, it's not good. Someone's killed! ”… A terrifying cry in the early morning shook the inn and collapsed. At the door of an open room, the shopkeeper's eyes widened in horror, and his speech trembled.

Something big happened in the inn, and it spread earth-shatteringly. Therefore, the person is an official of the imperial court, and the wife of this official is mobilizing the public, vowing to trace the ins and outs of this matter, and hand-picked by Mu Lanting to investigate it personally.

The case was strictly blocked, and no one cared about the inn anymore, because of this strange and unexpected incident, I couldn't stop worrying. For a moment, the capital was shrouded in panic.

It is said that this court official, because of the conflict with his wife, was troubled, and in a fit of anger, he rested alone in this inn. The inn is quiet and elegantly decorated. The official just wanted to be quiet for a few days, and then the husband and wife would return after their anger was extinguished. I didn't think about it, but there was such a big mess.

Mu Lanting took his subordinates and hurried to the inn as soon as possible. When the room was pushed open, it was a dead official lying on the ground, and his cold body was stiff and straight. And the bed in the room was a mess.

The examiner examined his whole body carefully, and there was no trace of trauma, and he looked at his lips again, and there was no discoloration. A cup of tea on the table, the residual tea residue is also carefully examined. After a long time, nothing was found.

Mu Lanting frowned, paced with his hands behind his back, and looked around the room, looking carefully at every corner.

After searching for clues for a long time, the distance between the head of the bed and the front of the window, a gray layer in the corner, and the shoe ring mark can be faintly seen. But the traces of this big shoe size are clearly men's shoe prints.

Mu Lanting stared at the shoe prints for a long time, and asked his subordinates to check the evidence. He carefully circled the walls of the room. Even at the eye of the needle in each gap, the insight of the fire eye is not easily let go.

After going around the room a few times, he always felt that something was wrong. From the moment you enter the door to the inside of the house, there is a smell wafting in the air. Mu Lanting was puzzled, his nose sniffed hard, and his sensitive sense of smell seemed to smell a wisp of indescribable fragrance.

I don't know if the fragrance is already faint, or if it is too late to disperse. I can't tell what kind of scent it is. It's just that this strange and indistinguishable fragrance is different from the usual fragrance on the woman's body.

Mu Lanting stood still, stroking his jaw, and secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that the person who came was an unusual woman? … But why, the shoe prints on the ground are men's big shoe sizes? … He thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out.

"My lord, this pocket has been rolled up, it should have been looked through." At this time, the subordinate discovered a small detail, thought for a moment, and boldly speculated, "The person who came may only be for the silver ticket." ”

Silver tickets, shoe prints, aromas... Mu Lanting turned around in his mind and summarized three key points. It seems that this case should focus on these three points to find out this mysterious night man.

The Mulan Mansion was silent at this time, and the lights in the Mulan Pavilion had not yet been extinguished. In front of the window sat a handsome figure, lonely and worried.

He supported his forehead with one hand, and with a depressed expression, he fell into deep contemplation... The case is strange and difficult to solve, and there is a fog of gloom...

This case is not trivial, and it shoulders a heavy responsibility. The official's wife has already released cruel words, if Mu Lanting can't find the culprit, and ask him to resign from his official position, the rivers and lakes will disappear from the rivers and lakes.

In the past few years in office, he has easily verified all the cases he has handled, and his reputation is not a problem.

This clever night man, is the real person a man or a woman? … If a little woman is defeated by her, I will ruin my reputation for a lifetime... Mu Lanting secretly shook his head, unwilling in his heart.

Judging from the details of the entire inspection, it is inconclusive that he was victimized. According to the official's insider, the official had a brain disease and liked to have convulsions when something happened. If this official suddenly fell ill and died, then even if he looked for the person in the night, he would only be imprisoned for a few years. But the official's wife spoke, and she spread the limelight and went out to stand up for herself. No matter what, on the cusp of the storm, there is no way back, and this case will inevitably be solved.

"Let you go to the ends of the earth, let you be invisible. I, Mulan Court, swear to track you down and defend my name! Encountering a rival master for the first time, Mu Lanting's heart ignited a fighting spirit.

Outside the window, you can't see your fingers, and the night wind is gusting through the window. Mu Lanting thought for a long time, and finally slowly stood up.

He put on a thin fleece coat and paced back and forth in the dim light. His figure was cast onto the pale white wall, and the elongated shadow swayed silently.
