This sleep, I slept until the afternoon of the next day, and Xiao Yan was woken up hungry.

No, to be exact, awakened by incense.

Before the eyes are opened, the nose is smelled, and I only feel that the rich aroma comes to my nose, that is, I smell the fragrance.

On the table, there was already a table full of sumptuous meals: husband and wife lung slices, spicy chicken, braised beef, and old hen stewed eight-treasure mushroom soup.

After a hasty freshening up, grab your chopsticks and feast.

Just as he was eating deliciously, Mu Qing walked in, Xiao Yan had a couple of lung tablets in his mouth, although he was spicy and broke out in a cold sweat, he still muttered vaguely, "This taste, it's amazing!" It's just that it's not spicy enough! ”

"At what age did you leave Shuzhou?" Mu Qing asked indifferently.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qing would suddenly ask this long-standing question, Xiao Yan stopped chewing, "It's about ten years old!" Why did you suddenly remember to ask this question? ”

"Didn't you come back after you left?"

"No, as the master went south and north, he never came back." Suddenly remembering the incident of the hour, Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "So, you helped me prepare this table of authentic Shu dishes, do you want me to remember the bittersweet memories?" ”

"No, it's just to try and see if I can wake you up." Mu Qingwei smiled.

"This way of getting people up is very good, in the future, please teach Shi to catch the head, every time he tells me to get up, he doesn't say a word, picks up the futon and leaves."

"Are you up then?" Mu Qing asked rhetorically.

"Isn't this nonsense? Can you afford it? Can you sleep peacefully without the futon? Xiao Yan asked three times aggrieved.

It seems that the way the stone catcher asks people to get up, although it is simple, rough and direct, is also very effective.

"It's so easy and effective, it's great! It seems ......" Mu Qing said lightly, bowing his head thoughtfully and thinking about it.

"Don't, don't learn from him, please!" Xiao Yan's eyes widened in fright instantly, and he pleaded.

Mu Qing didn't answer, he sat down in front of Xiao Yan, picked up the soup spoon, filled a bowl of chicken soup, and put it in front of Xiao Yan.

The latter was picked up and drunk in one go!

"Full of wine and food, oh! No, it's full of soup and food, it's time to get down to business. Touching his belly, Xiao Yan turned around and sat down beside Mu Qing, leaned in front of him, and stared at him carefully.

Mu Qing's eyes didn't dodge, he looked back at Xiao Yan coldly, his eyes were facing each other, the latter couldn't help but shudder, and pouted: "Tsk, this look, no wonder, no wonder, they are so afraid of you, as soon as they hear that you are coming to Shuzhou, they don't dare to make a mistake for half a step, and they are afraid that if you move your fingers, the black gauze hat on their heads will not be able to keep it." ”

"You're talking about Governor Lee!" There was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Mu Qing's mouth.

"Isn't it? Do you know this? Xiao Yan was surprised, "I haven't said it yet?" You know, it won't be that the two brothers of the Yue family are his illegitimate children, you know, right? ”

Seeing Mu Qing nodding affirmatively, Xiao Yan was frustrated, "I worked hard last night for more than half an hour to overhear what I overheard, you actually know everything, it's really boring!" ”

"I guessed too, just now you said that they are afraid of me, and only the big people in these places can find out my whereabouts." Mu Qing's tone was slow, which could be regarded as comforting Xiao Yan.

"What about bastards? Is it also a guess? "Xiao Yan is unrelenting.

"Governor Lee has two illegitimate sons, born to his sister-in-law, and few know about them! But the Metropolitan Procuratorate knows! ”

"Alas, yes, you are all in the procuratorate, if you want to know some gossip and information, and then grasp some deadly handles, isn't it easy?" Xiao Yan sighed, the person in front of him, can he lead the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

Ignoring Xiao Yan's sour sarcasm, Mu Qing straightened up, "Now we can be sure that Yue Ershao has nothing to do with Qin Huaiyu's disappearance, right?" ”

"Yes, no doubts! Now the question arises, how does the man know that we are looking for him and are going to show us his hand? ”

Originally, according to the previous inference, the perpetrator of the crime had more or less a relationship with Yue Ershao, but according to the situation last night, there was no connection between them.

So, this clue is broken again.

Looking at Xiao Yan's unwilling expression, Mu Qing remembered something again, and asked again: "Tracking powder, which part of Yun Yanlan's body is sprinkled?" ”

"On top of the braids."

Mu Qing nodded approvingly, these clothes, shoes and socks can be changed, but this braid, which will not be cleaned for three or five days, is the best way to sprinkle it on the braid.

"It's possible that the person who moved Yunyanlan will also have a little bit of tracking powder on his body, right?" Mu Qing looked at Xiao Yan and reminded him.

"It's possible to get it, but it's also very subtle, and it's quite difficult, and it's not easy to track."

"A little bit is better than nothing! When Ishikawa returns, he must have a way. Mu Qing found a little bit of clue again, and he was very pleased.

"That's right, let's catch the head of the stone, that nose is more powerful than the dog's nose, and there are more tricks, when he comes back, maybe there will be a better way to continue tracking!" Xiao Yan was also excited.

Indeed, in terms of tracking, Ishikawa is an expert and a master, as long as there is a little clue, he will sniff out a trace of clues.

……

Two days later, at dusk.

As soon as Ishikawa entered the door, before he sat down, he looked at Mu Qing and Xiao Yan mysteriously, his eyes were full of excitement, but he just didn't speak.

The latter two only care about drinking tea, and do not touch the former's pretended mysterious gaze.

Sure enough, Ishikawa couldn't hold back and shouted, "Guess what I found in Chungju?" ”

"Don't guess!" Xiao Yan replied crisply.

"Don't guess, then I won't talk about it, go back to the room and sleep, I'm tired and panicked anyway!" Ishikawa, who was angry, turned around and left.

"Is there a beautiful woman?" Xiao Yan behind him said lightly.

Ishikawa stopped in surprise, turned to look at Xiao Yan, and said in disbelief, "How do you know that there are beautiful women." ”

"It's simple, every time you investigate a case and meet a beautiful woman, it's this expression, and it's always a guess."

"Hehe, it seems to be true. However, this beauty is different from the past, no one knows the true face of Lushan at all, it is very mysterious! Ishikawa sat down heavily.

"Don't buy it, tell me, I have something very important to tell you here." Xiao Yan handed Ishikawa a cup of tea.

Ishikawa took it and drank it all, "I found an important clue, before Lin Zishu disappeared, he used to have a close relationship with a mysterious beauty. As he spoke, he casually put the empty cup in front of Xiao Yan, and instructed the latter to continue the tea with his hand.

After seeing Xiao Yan obediently filling up the tea, Ishikawa continued with satisfaction: "According to Lin Zishu's little servant, a few times, he searched for the master everywhere, and found him by the river, having a private meeting with a mysterious woman. The woman was beautiful and graceful, and it seemed that the master was fascinated by her. Therefore, later Lin Zishu disappeared, and the little servant didn't dare to tell others what he saw for the sake of the master, he privately thought that the master must have eloped with the woman. ”

Ishikawa finished speaking in one breath, and Mu Qing and Xiao Yan both looked solemn.

Xiao Yan asked excitedly, "Does anyone know the origin of that woman's name?" ”

Ishikawa's head shook like a drum, "No one knows, I have seen Lin Zishu's little servant two or three times from afar, and then soon after, Lin Zishu disappeared." ”

The clues Ishikawa found are very important and crucial, but they are very helpless.

Importantly, there are specific people Lin Zishu who came into contact before his disappearance; The point is that the person is still a very mysterious "woman"; Helplessly, the people around Lin Zishu didn't know anything about her.

It seems that he has found a very important clue, but he can't use it for himself.

However, fortunately, the appearance of this "mysterious woman" has a similarity with Qin Huaiyu's disappearance.

Huai Jue said before: On the day of Huaiyu's disappearance, someone saw him walking with a young woman.

In other words, before they disappeared, they had all seen a person, a woman.

Moreover, the women seen by the two have one thing in common: they are young and beautiful.

Therefore, after a comprehensive analysis of these two things, the disappearance of the two of them is inseparable from the woman.

And this woman is a real woman, or a man like Lin Zishu, Qin Huaiyu, and Yun Yanlan who is good at pretending to be a woman, in short, it is related to "women".

All three thought of this important point of convergence and pondered on their own.

Leaning slightly, Ishikawa raised his head impatiently and said to Xiao Yan: "Tell me, what happened in the past few days when I was away?" ”

"Yun Yanlan almost disappeared too."

"What do you mean by almost missing?" As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Ishikawa jumped up, but was pulled by the former and sat back again, his eyes still wide, looking at Xiao Yan eagerly.

Xiao Yan told Ishikawa in detail that Yun Yanlan was stunned and hid in the storage room, and then someone sang on stage on his behalf, and left a handwriting behind him.

After hearing this, the latter had already stood up and began to circle around the house, shouting, "It's the other way around, this power has been shown to the prince......

"He didn't know that the prince was there, he only knew that the first person in the capital was arrested." Xiao Yan interjected idly, ruthlessly cutting off Ishikawa's thread that tried to lead the fire to Mu Qing's body.

Ishikawa was stunned, glared at Xiao Yan, and continued to shout, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, this power has been shown to the prince's good friend, let me ask, how can you bear this tone?" ”

"Alright! Forget you. Xiao Yan reluctantly agreed, and said, "Don't bear it, I'm waiting for you to come back, and then continue to investigate?" After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he told Ishikawa about going to explore Jingyuan and tracking powder.

Ishikawa propped his forehead and said to himself, "Those two losers turned out to be the illegitimate sons of Governor Li, or were they born to him and his sister-in-law. Tell me, what kind of love and hatred are hidden behind this? ”

Xiao Yan tapped his finger on the table, "Draw the point, now is not the time to care about gossip, I am asking you, can you continue to chase that little bit of tracking powder!" ”

"Chase, must chase! If you can't chase it, you have to think about it, who called that dare person so arrogant, hum ......"

"Boom...... Prosperous! ”

As soon as Ishikawa finished humming, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded outside the window, which was the first spring thunder after the sting, indicating the sound of all things waking up......

"Hahaha, it's going to rain, God help me!" Hearing this spring thunder, Ishikawa laughed three times with a proud "hahaha......
