Chapter 9: Dongmei (1)
Oh, yes! Why so much jewelry? And they are all very precious.
She opened Chun Tao's wardrobe again, only to see that the wardrobe was full of various styles of precious clothes. She thought back to Dongmei's clothes and jewelry, there were only a few, compared to Chun Tao, Dongmei was too poor. A question rose in her heart, "They are all the top sisters in the 'Fengyue Building', shouldn't there be so much difference in terms of money and things?" ”
Zi Yan said: "So many jewelry, it should be given by the guests. Zhang Gongzi's family is a jewelry store. ”
Mengyun asked: "Zhang Gongzi was first a guest of Xia He, and then he was robbed by Chun Tao. When he was with Xia He, did he give Xia He a lot of jewelry? ”
Zi Yan shook her head and said, "I don't know. However, I think even if I give it, I will give one or two pieces at most, and I won't give too much, which son can spend a lot of money for a sister? Why don't I ask Lingyu for you? She serves Xia He every day, and she should be able to know. ”
Mengyun shook his head and said, "Don't ask, it's so late now." I'll ask Aunt Feng tomorrow, let's go. ”
Mengyun and Ziyan left Chun Tao's room and locked the door.
After returning to the room, Mengyun lay on the bed and wanted to sleep, but couldn't sleep.
Just now, I didn't find anything in Chun Tao's room.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the murderer commits the crime, he will definitely leave clues at the scene of the crime.
Perhaps, it was the light in the room that was too dim to see the clues.
She thought about it again, Liuzhu had said that she had forgotten to lock the door. Could it be that the murderer really sneaked into Chun Tao's room during that time? So who could he be? Will it be Liu Dazhu? Mengyun thought about all the people in the 'Fengyue Tower' roughly, but she still didn't have a clue, and after thinking about it, she fell asleep......
August 13.
The sky is clear, and the sky is gradually getting brighter.
Drinking last night, chuckling at me for self-indulgence.
Autumn is high and refreshing, sleep on the bamboo pillow on the moon, and sleep until dawn.
Life is long, do not compete with others, and have a flat mentality.
will not do all kinds of tricks, do not fight for fame and fortune, and live a pure and peaceful life.
Meet, non-friends and friends, quietly read Huang Ting.
Mengyun had breakfast in his room, and then went to the front building to find Aunt Feng.
Aunt Feng was sitting on a chair in the hall of the front building.
She nodded at Mengyun, signaling that she could say something directly.
Mengyun opened his mouth: "I went to Chun Tao's room with Zi Yan last night to check. I found that Chun Peach has a lot of jewelry, while Dong Mei does not have a few. What I want to ask is, both of them are top sisters, why is this happening? ”
Aunt Feng frowned, and she said, "Dongmei is the most beautiful of the four top brands, and she has a gentle temperament, although she sometimes treats guests a little indifferently. But she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she has the most customers, so she should also have the most money. As for you saying that she doesn't have a few pieces of jewelry, I really don't know what it is. I remember one time, a guest gave Dongmei a very expensive hairpin, and Dongmei also liked it very much, and wore it on her head at that time. But a few days later, I saw that the hairpin was put on Chun Tao's head again. I was also very strange, so I went to ask Dongmei, and she explained that she didn't like the style of the hairpin, so she gave it to Chun Tao. In fact, it is normal for their sisters to give each other jewelry as gifts, and I don't want to ask more. ”
Mengyun shook his head and said, "This is not a gift to each other, this seems to be a one-sided gift, why didn't I see a gift from another sister to Dongmei?" ”
Aunt Feng said: "I don't know what's going on, you can ask Dongmei if everything is clear." ”
Mengyun came to Dongmei's room again.
Dongmei was sitting in a chair reading a book.
After seeing Mengyun come in, she put the book on the table and asked, "How is the case investigated?" ”
Mengyun glanced at it with his eyes, the book was called "Heavenly Immortals", and it was a mythological novel.
She replied, "There are no clues at all, I really don't know how to investigate." ”
Dongmei comforted her and said softly: "You have to find the clues slowly, or I will accompany you to Chun Tao's room to have a look!" ”
Mengyun shook her head and said, "Don't bother Sister Dongmei, I went with Ziyan last night and didn't find anything." ”
Dongmei smiled slightly, she complained and said, "How can you go at night?" At night, the light in the room is dim and you can't see clearly, so you should go during the day! ”
Mengyun thought about it again and again, hesitated slightly, and still said the question in his heart: "I saw a lot of jewelry on Chun Tao's dresser last night, I came to ask, why is there so little jewelry in my sister?" ”
Hearing Mengyun's question, Dong Meidai frowned slightly, and she asked lightly, "Why did you think of asking this?" Does this have anything to do with Chun Tao's death? ”
Mengyun scratched her head, and she replied, "It doesn't matter, I'm just curious." ”
Dongmei explained: "In the 'Fengyue Building', Chun Tao knows how to make guests happy, and her methods are also very clever. For example, Zhang Gongzi was originally a guest of Xia He, but he was not robbed by her. And she has a lot of jewelry, most of which are given by those guests who have a lot of silver. ”
Hearing this answer, Mengyun smiled slightly, she shook her head, and said, "What I want to ask is, why does my sister have so little jewelry?" ”
Dongmei raised her eyebrows first, and she said with a smile: "I'm not as amorous, charming and charming as Chun Tao, I look cold to guests every day, who will like me?" No one likes me, no one gives me away, and I can't afford to spend money on it myself, so of course I have less jewelry. ”
Mengyun fell into deep thought, "She has a feeling that Dongmei in front of her seems to have a very heavy heart. Or rather, she has some unspeakable suffering. Zi Yan once said, 'Everyone here is complicated. It seems that the Dongmei in front of her is not simple, what she shows in front of Mengyun is just her wearing a hypocritical mask, and it is not the real her. Mengyun really wanted to see how she took off her mask, because every time she saw her, Mengyun would have a familiar feeling, and this feeling became stronger and stronger, so that she couldn't help but want to call Dongmei, 'Sister'. But she didn't dare, she was afraid of recognizing the wrong person. She knew that the murderer of Chun Tao was in this 'Fengyue Tower', and what about Dongmei in front of her! Could she be a murderer? She has the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, and there is nowhere to hide her beauty. Standing beside her, like a spring light, she would rather die than have any regrets. However, there is a coldness underneath her extraordinary beauty, like a flower carved out of ice, which looks beautiful but cannot be touched with your hands. This makes it difficult for Mengyun to associate her with the murderer, how can she kill someone if she looks so beautiful? ”
Dongmei stretched out her hand and gently pushed her, and said with a smile, "What do you want?" I'm drooling. ”
Mengyun came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and said, "I didn't think about anything, I was confused by my sister's beautiful appearance." ”
Dongmei smiled, and she said, "Don't praise me, you're not a man." You must have been thinking just now, this Dongmei is so good-looking, could she be the murderer? ”
Mengyun was suddenly seen through her thoughts, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, how can I doubt my sister?" My sister has a fairy-like appearance, and it is impossible to kill. ”
Dongmei said: "If you look good, can't you kill people?" Perhaps, I am really the murderer who killed Chun Tao. ”
Mengyun was taken aback by Dongmei's words, she quickly changed the topic and said, "I actually came to ask my sister to accompany me to see Chun Tao's corpse. ”
Hearing this, Dongmei's face was embarrassed, and she said softly, "Why don't you let Zi Yan accompany you?" ”
Mengyun explained, "Zi Yan still has to serve Qiulan! Besides, she is too timid to go. ”
Dongmei looked scared and said, "I'm not very bold!" I was most afraid of seeing a corpse. ”
Mengyun grabbed Dongmei's arm tightly and shook it vigorously, and said in a coquettish voice: "Good sister, sister, big beauty, come with me, I don't dare to go alone." ”
Dongmei was entangled by her, showing a helpless expression on her face, and said, "Okay! Go now? ”
Hearing that Dongmei agreed to her, Mengyun's heart blossomed, and she nodded vigorously.
Dongmei said: "I want to clean up simply, and get some silver, I can't go outside without silver!" ”
Mengyun teased her with a smile and said, "Sister Dongmei, you don't have to put on makeup, it's not to go to the front floor to see the guests, it's to see Chun Tao's corpse." ”
Dongmei smiled and slapped her gently, and said delicately: "Who said that I want to put on makeup, I want to change into plain clothes, there is no need to wear red and green outside." You go and say hello to Aunt Feng first, and I'll wait for you at the gate." ”
"Okay."
Mengyun happily agreed, she thought beautifully in her heart, "Sister Dongmei is the most gentle, other sisters will definitely not accompany me to see the corpse." ”
Mengyun and Dongmei stood at the gate of the 'Fengyue Tower'......
Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, Mengyun sighed in his heart, "Since I was sold to this 'Fengyue Building', I haven't come out yet!" It's better to be out there! ”
Dongmei asked, "Do you know where Chun Tao's body is?" ”
Mengyun replied: "I asked Aunt Feng just now, and she said that in Yizhuang outside the city, corpses are not allowed to be parked in the city. ”
Dongmei said lightly: "Then let's go to Yizhuang and go." ”
Mengyun smiled bitterly and said, "Yizhuang is far away from here, if we walk, I'm afraid it will be ......."
Dongmei smiled, and she said, "Then let's hire a carriage, I'll bring the silver!" ”
Mengyun sat in the slightly swaying carriage, and she looked at Dongmei beside her from the corner of her eye.
Dongmei is wearing a white dress, elegant and delicate, which is pleasing to the eye.
She didn't have any expression on her face, just stared blankly ahead, not moving, like a fairy in a painting......
