Ishikawa laughed three times and said, "God help me!" This spring rain came too timely. ”

Mu Qing and Xiao Yan listened to the former laugh, their faces were expressionless, but they were actually happy in their hearts, knowing that the latter was already sure, so they turned around and went back to their rooms with confidence.

Leaving Ishikawa, he shouted at their backs: "Hey, two masters, can you give some face!" God help me, how does God help me, aren't you curious at all? ”

After calling, he went back to the house aggrieved and stupid.

The spring rain is as precious as oil, lingering and gentle all night, and when the sky is about to dawn, it will stop.

At the end of the day, the three of them opened the door in unison, all dressed neatly, looked at each other and smiled, and set off for Yunyanlan's residence.

As soon as she saw Ishikawa, Yun Yanlan took a few steps, stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said straightly: "Lao Shi bothered to catch his head, it's all to blame, he didn't listen to your advice, and he was teased for no reason." ”

"You're pretty good! People are all right! Unlike Lin Zishu and Qin Huaiyu, there is no trace so far, which is worrying! ”

What Ishikawa means is that although it is weird to say that Yun Yanlan is a thing, people are fine, they should be happy, and there is no need to be depressed.

But Yun Yanlan listened, but gritted her teeth and stomped her feet again: "Hmph, you can kill, you can't be humiliated!" ”

Xiao Yan looked at his upright personality, how could he not think of him and the charming Concubine Mei on the stage, so he asked casually, "Brother Yun, who looks better and more similar when you and that Qin Huaiyu sing Concubine Mei?" ”

Xiao Yan's words, although he asked casually, had a deep meaning, and Yun Yanlan also replied straightforwardly: "Since he is the essence of Brother Qin, how far is it down?" ”

Xiao Yan had a whim, it was because Concubine Mei played by Yun Yanlan was not top-notch, so she was just teased.

And Lin Zishu and Qin Huaiyu, singing the horn of Concubine Mei have reached the realm, and they have forgotten about things, and they can't tell whether they are real people or characters, so they are both missing?

However, is it in the way of his good singing skills and good looks? And what did he do?

Can't figure it out, doesn't make any sense?

Pulling his thoughts back, he saw that Ishikawa had already sniffed, smelled the smell, and slowly walked out.

And Mu Qing stopped at the door, waiting for him, so he took a few steps, pulled the former and chased after Ishikawa.

avenues, paths, east, west, north and south; The river, the intersection, far and near, the stone catcher head twitched his nose, sniffing close to the ground, although it took a long time, two hours later, the three of them stood fifty miles away, the upstream of a small river.

The river flows from west to east, and the shallows on the bank are piled up with blue-gray stones of different sizes, interspersed with frolicking in the middle, and the trees on both sides of the bank are forested, and the green hills are faint.

As far as the eye can see, there is a village faintly downstream.

Seeing that Ishikawa finally stopped, Xiao Yan grabbed his shirt and said, "Isn't that tracking powder tasteless?" What are you sniffing and sniffing all the way? ”

Ishikawa waved his sleeves and looked up at the sky arrogantly, "When I wanted to talk about it last night, you didn't want to hear it!" Hehe, now, when you want to hear it, I don't want to talk about it! ”

"Hmph, I don't want to say it, I can guess it!" In fact, I already knew it in my heart, but this is Ishikawa's trick, so it's not easy to crack him again.

As the saying goes, if you don't see through it, you have to save some face for the first place!

"Then you guessed, I guessed that I was in for a treat!"

"Alas, how can you trace it, which is tasteless and only a little bit? It's hard, it's hard! Xiao Yan, who said three difficult things in a row, looked at Ishikawa with admiring eyes.

"It's hard, but it's also traceable." The latter was looked at by the former's admiring gaze, and the defense line immediately collapsed, clapping his hands arrogantly again, pointing to the way he came, snorting and saying: "Do you smell, do you smell a faint, strange, fishy smell?" ”

Mu Qing was still standing, but Xiao Yan, like Ishikawa, twitched his nose vigorously, closed his eyes, and sniffed carefully.

"Yes, yes, there is a strange smell, fishy and a little stinky, and when there is wind, the smell is stronger."

"Yes! Finally smell it! Tracking pink is tasteless and imperceptible, but why does it smell like it? Curious? Want to know why? ”

How could Shi Zhutou let go of this opportunity to make his friends curious again? His wish must always be fulfilled.

"I'm very curious, I'm listening!" The well-behaved Xiao Yan greatly aroused Ishikawa's enthusiasm and pride, and he attached himself to Xiao Yan's ear and said: "The tracking powder is mixed with a refined medicinal powder, this powder is colorless, but as long as there is a little bit, it will be dissolved by water, and it will have its unique taste within a radius of five miles, which is fishy and smelly, and it will be dispersed in seven days." ”

"Oh, awesome! No wonder, there was a spring thunder last night, and the spring rain is coming, so God help me—too! Xiao Yan, whose body movements were exaggerated, pretended to show a great look of surprise, and suddenly realized, stretched out his thumb, but his eyes glanced at Mu Qing, who was standing silently.

The latter shook his head, pretending not to understand the former, as well as the exaggerated falsehood, a little helpless and noncommittal.

"However, this smell comes and goes, intermittently, sometimes not to mention a radius of five miles, ten miles away! And how do you track it? ”

"Well, this is the head of the head of the years of experience talk, whenever encountered, ordinary people may turn around, or take the road, take the smooth and easy road. And what about criminals? But they usually do the opposite, preferring to take a detour rather than take the usual path. ”

Ishikawa spoke, and the other two nodded in approval.

Indeed, when it comes to tracking, Ishikawa is an expert.

"It's a pity, following the taste, I chased it here, and there is no trace to be found!" Putting away his smug expression, Ishikawa sat down on the rocks by the river in frustration.

"What's going on here? Doesn't it say that it tastes when it melts in water? How come it is that when you get to a place where there is water, there is no smell to be found? "Xiao Yan really doesn't understand this time.

"You don't understand that, do you? If the powder is scattered on the ground, on the side of the road, or on the place of plants, it will still be dissolved by the rain, and it may still stick to the same place after all. If they are scattered in the water and washed away by this river, they will disappear without a trace, and where will there be any traces of taste? Ishikawa flattened his mouth.

"However, you can take this as the center and check the surrounding areas of Fangyuan." Mu Qing, who had been silent, said calmly.

The other two nodded silently in agreement, and now, there was no better way than to cast a wide net.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of entourages who had been hiding not far behind him immediately gathered over.

"In groups of three, with this as the center, search for a radius of thirty miles in all directions, and if you find any suspicious person or thing, report it immediately! Remember, don't bother! ”

Mu Qing, who is silent and silent on weekdays, seems to be a general by nature, and when it comes to giving orders, he seems to have become a different person.

Methodical, dignified, calm and decisive, worthy of the frightening little prince of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Under normal circumstances, Ishikawa stood silently beside Mu Qing with a serious expression, while Xiao Yan avoided it because he was not in public office.

He was condescending, and faintly saw that not far from the downstream, several women appeared one after another, washing clothes by the river.

They were attached to the water's edge, as if they were washing while talking loudly as if no one was around.

Looking at the Huansha girl from afar, Xiao Yan bit her lip and pondered.

Tracing here, there is no trace, whether the murderer is wading through the river, or washing his face with the river water. Is there a possibility, the murderer is very familiar with this place, and may live nearby, so after arriving, he naturally relaxed his vigilance and played in the river for a while.

Combined with the previous evidence, the murderer is always inextricably linked to the "woman".

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes; Where there are women, there is a good show.

Perhaps, from this group of raccoon girls, maybe you can also find one or two clues?

At this moment, one of them suddenly straightened her waist and raised her hand to wave the gauze in the water, stirring in the water.

Dressed in simple clothes and coarse cloth, she had a slender waist, and her arms swung softly back and forth above the water, and she occasionally turned around while brushing the yarn, and talked happily with her companions.

This slender and dexterous figure is so familiar, but I can't remember it for a while.

Who could it be? However, how can a young girl with a raccoon yarn recognize herself?

Seeing that Xiao Yan had been looking at the Huansha girl by the river, Ishikawa also stood beside him, put his hand on the pergola, looked at it with his eyes, and said in a joking tone: "It's rare that our Xiao Yan has changed sex, and suddenly he is interested in women, a good thing!" ”

Shi Zhutou said that he wanted to take a snack, what did it mean that he was suddenly interested in a woman, this is called "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good", understand! After giving Ishikawa a roll of his eyes, he recited softly.

Not to be outdone, Ishikawa snorted twice through his nose, "Sour, sour, worse than the smell of my tracking powder." ”

"They, is there a problem?" It was still Mu Qing who understood Xiao Yan, and seeing that he had been looking at the group of raccoon girls, there must be something strange in them, so he walked to Xiao Yan's side and asked in a low voice.

"I'm wondering if that person will live around here, and the woman who appeared repeatedly before Lin Zishu Qin Huaiyu disappeared will occasionally come out to the stream and wash her clothes and yarn......"

"Is it possible?" Mu Qing confirmed again.

"No evidence? I always feel that this person has an inexplicable connection with the woman, and it seems that Miss Yun is also involved! "Worried, this is the hidden worry and suspicion in Xiao Yan's heart, there is no definite evidence, only relying on the murderer's previous strange behavior, as well as his own strange sixth sense.

"Do you want to go and ask them?"

"No!" As soon as Ishikawa finished speaking, the other two stopped him at the same time.

"Yes, if you go so recklessly, you will definitely startle the snake." Ishikawa was very smart this time, and he immediately stopped his steps, turned around and replied, "Then what should I do?" Looking for a woman? ”

"But who are you going to go to?" Xiao Yan thought thoughtfully, remembered the familiar figure just now, and looked up to find that the women in raccoon clothes by the river had already put away their clothes and walked towards the village.

"Ah, it's so soon!" Looking at their backs, Ishikawa's face was full of disappointment.

Speechless for a while, the three of them stood quietly, and after half an hour, Ishikawa couldn't hold it back, and sighed: "I missed another opportunity!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll come back tomorrow!"

"Don't wait for tomorrow, what do you want to know? Just ask! ”

As soon as Xiao Yan's words fell, a crisp and pleasant female voice came from behind the woods by the stream.

Mu Qing's expression moved slightly, and he immediately followed the prestige......
