Chapter 383: Qiu Xiang is the key to solving the case
"Head, do you remember it? Gao Yao waited impatiently, and finally couldn't help asking.
"Don't worry, I remember where I smelled it, Gao Yao catches his head, show me the door of the house, let me think about it again." Although Li Guolou couldn't remember, the name and place were written with a pen on a small table in the room, and there would always be a person or place that matched this musky smell.
"Weirdos." Gao Yao Wuyun didn't dare to disturb Qing Xiu for Li Guolou, so he closed the door and let Li Guolou sit alone in the room and meditate.
Li Guolou sat for more than an hour, and finally had a flash of inspiration, a name came to mind, Jiao Fenglou sat on the stage of Sister Qiuxiang, it was with this kind of incense powder, that when he drank flower wine, he sat in his arms Qiuxiang, and he tempted him with this breath.
Li Guolou pushed open the door and said with a smile: "Jin Catcher, Gao Yao Catcher, bring the shadow figure, let's go to Jiaofeng Tower to find Mother Wu, I found a clue!" ”
"Really." Jin Erzi and Gao Yao Wuyun glared at Li Guolou in surprise, the veteran will have a harvest when he comes out, if the Tianzi "Third Brother" can't solve the case, then the Jingshi underworld will be lawless.
Li Guolou, Jin Erzi, Gao Yao Wuyun changed into civilian clothes, and went straight to Jiaofeng Lou at the entrance of the vegetable market, there is an open space in front of the entrance of the vegetable market in the south of the city, which is a special place for murder and execution in Beijing, which belongs to the lively area of Beijing, with a strong legendary nature of a place, there are many famous historical figures, all of whom were beheaded, beheaded and even executed by Ling Chi here, so when they come to Jingshi, they will go there to see, it belongs to a tourist attraction, and slowly the vegetable market mouth will form a commercial tourism area, and all kinds of industries are concentrated there to open for business.
Jiaofeng Lou old bustard Wu Yingzi is now next to Wang Wu, Jingsheng is doing well, has opened a second branch, Li Guolou and his party came to Jiaofeng Building, the proprietress Wu Yingzi is not here, to the semicolon, responsible for receiving them is Sai Jinhua, she is now the "second master" of Jiaofeng Building.
"Yo, the guest officer wants to get away with it when he dresses like this, don't think that I don't know you if you put on the vest, what do you want to do when you come to me, aren't you afraid that I will eat you." Sai Jinhua's style crossed his waist with one hand, and as soon as he sent his chest forward, he stopped Li Guolou.
Li Guolou said solemnly: "Don't make a fuss, Sai Jinhua, we are here to run an errand, let me ask you, is Qiu Xiang still here!" ”
", she is now our Jiaofeng Lou's top brand, Lord Li, you want to see Sister Qiuxiang, but you want to be rewarded, we haven't seen any wealth today, let's ask for good luck." Sai Jinhua's small hands were spread out, and when she came to Jiaofeng Tower, even the prince had to give a reward, how could it be reasonable to see it in vain.
"Don't you know who we are." Gao Yao Wuyun stepped forward and glared at Sai Jinhua with angry eyes.
"I know, Xiao Lizi is my good friend, and my English and French have improved so much, all thanks to Xiao Lizi." Sai Jinhua didn't care, Tian shamelessly exposed Li Guolou's old bottom, many of her foreign friends, many of them were introduced by Li Guolou.
Li Guolou is different from the past, he wants to make a break with the past, and said angrily: "Sai Jinhua take care of your mouth, don't smear the official's face, the benefits are indispensable to you." After speaking, Li Guolou quickly stuffed a twenty-tael silver ticket to Sai Jinhua, looking at Wang Wu's face, and didn't care about these small money.
"Cheap you little plum, I still have an old friend of yours here, do you want her to serve you." Sai Jinhua asked with a smile as she walked up the stairs.
"Who?" Li Guolou is a little curious, Jiaofeng Lou belongs to a high-end brothel, there are some singers who do not sell themselves as a façade, of course, sometimes this kind of singers also pick up customers, just like Sai Jinhua, usually they will go to the scene, support the scene for the dignitaries, and do the business of accompanying wine and laughing.
"Father-in-law's widow, nine-year-old red is now our Jiaofeng Lou signboard, she still remembers you, little villain, give people hollow soup dumplings, and have no conscience." Sai Jinhua took the opportunity to touch Li Guolou's muscles and ate a bite of tofu.
"Oh, isn't nine-year-old Hong from a good conscience, why did she come here." Li Guolou couldn't figure it out, An Dehai's widow was nine years old, and she had silver in her pocket, so she wouldn't be so depressed that she would come out and laugh.
"Hobbies, people like to do this business, and they don't sell their bodies, you know." Sai Jinhua seems to have become a noble person, out of the mud without staining.
"Oh, a nine-year-old red face, I always have to give, and I'll give you a reward later." Li Guolou always has to take care of the widow of the eunuch An Dehai, and it is also fate that everyone knows each other.
It's past noon dinner time, but Qiu Xiang has just gotten up, and when she came to her room, she sat in front of the dresser and painted her eyebrows, and when she saw Li Guolou with two catchers, she couldn't help but be surprised, and the thrush pencil in her hand fell to the ground.
Qiu Xiang reacted quickly, coquettishly, and snorted: "Oh, I scared the slave, Sai Jinhua, why don't you even knock on the door!" ”
Li Guolou sneered and said, "Qiu Xiang, your case has been reported, wait for the wooden donkey!" ”
Sai Jinhua and Qiu Xiang were both discolored, Sai Jinhua's face turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "Lord Li, why is this, this kind of joke can't be made!" ”
Li Guolou still sneered at Qiu Xiang and said, "You go and ask her, if I'm joking!" ”
Qiu Xianghui showed off her skills and smirked: "Master Li, the slave is a soft woman, she stays at home, she breaks the law, and she has never done anything!" ”
Li Guolou stretched out a finger, hooked Qiu Xiang's chin, stared at her carefully, and said approvingly: "Well, Qiu Xiang is still a loving person, she has cried a few times, her eyes are swollen like this, and it looks like she is not a guest today!" ”
"What the hell is going on?" Sai Jinhua was anxious, stomped her feet and scolded, and lost her temper at Qiu Xiang.
"Slave, I really don't know anything." A thin layer of oil had oozed from Qiu Xiang's forehead, and she had just put on makeup and was stained.
Li Guolou sat in front of Qiu Xiang and threatened: "Qiu Xiang, pinching you to death is like pinching an ant to death, how big this case is, you know it in your heart, confide everything you know, I see that we know each other, let you go this time, if you don't know each other, Qiu Xiang, you will wait for the top and bottom to rot together!" ”
Tears splashed out of Qiu Xiang's eyes, and she knelt on her knees with a plop, crying and crying: "Master Li, spare the slave family, I just listened to it as a joke, I didn't expect it to happen!" ”
Sai Jinhua has also seen the seriousness of the matter, the two arresters have not smiled since entering the door, Jin Erzi stood at the door and looked at the wind, Gao Yao Wuyun took out a pair of handcuffs, ready to arrest people at any time, hurriedly expressed his attitude, and said: "Qiu Xiang, let's say it, Master Li will not be difficult for you, what are you involved in!" ”
Li Guolou was not in a hurry, he became silent, and looked at Qiu Xiang with a profound and sophisticated expression, he admired people in the world, it was himself.
"Sai Jinhua, what happened to Jingshi, I don't think you don't know, Qiu Xiang was executed by Ling Chi, and he wasn't wronged." Li Guolou's words are like a mountain, and all the pressure is borne by Qiu Xiang.
Gao Yao Wuyun admired Li Guolou's superb detection skills in his heart, and no one could match his talent, so that he could directly find the key to solving the case, and he knelt in front of him, and the clues to solve the case were already there.
"My lord, I don't know much, you can't be difficult for me." Qiu Xiang didn't dare to get up, trembling all over, and knew very well what the consequences would be, since Li Guolou had already come to the door, he would be tortured if he was not careful.
"Say, listen." Li Guolou crossed Erlang's legs, took the teacup, drank tea unhurriedly, and from beginning to end, he didn't ask Qiu Xiang to get up, so he asked her to kneel on the ground and reply.
Qiu Xiang sorted out his thoughts and said: "Lord Li is like this, about half a year ago, just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, at noon, I came here with two guests, to drink flower wine, one is the Wanjia ticket number guy Ji Rong, who looks refreshing and refreshing, and rarely speaks, the other person is a rich man, the person who paid that day was him, claiming to be the owner of the teahouse, he opened the opposite of the Wanjia ticket number, and Ji Rong is the neighbor next door·······
Qiu Xiang can be eloquent, clear in thinking, and in an orderly manner, she confided in her acquaintance with Ji Rong, and when it comes to sadness, she cried several times, seducing people like Ji Rong who have never stepped into the wind and snow, Qiu Xiang effortlessly, and she swore an alliance with Qiu Xiang Mountain.
Li Guolou asked, "Qiu Xiang, how much benefit did that tall man give you by letting you seduce Ji Rong!" ”
Qiu Xiang was frightened again, she jumped away from the topic, went straight to the topic, and did not escape Li Guolou's eyes, and hurriedly defended: "Lord Li, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking, I claimed to be surnamed Zhang Ren, gave me 2 taels of silver in advance, and said that after the matter was completed, give me another 5 taels of silver, I gave Sai Jinhua 2 taels in accordance with the rules, and other silver, I embezzled!" ”
"You, you, let me say what is good about you." Sai Jinhua was angry, said that he had four or six accounts, signed and painted in black and white, and even the notes were set up, Qiu Xiang was not satisfied, and embezzled Jiaofenglou's 8 taels of normal income.
Li Guolou asked again: "Qiu Xiang, you and Ji Rong said how much money will be used to redeem the body!" ”
"Two thousand taels of silver, Lord Li, I really have two thousand taels of silver, I don't lie." Qiu Xiang was in a low mood, but as soon as she talked about her worth, she immediately straightened up her breasts and let Li Guolou see that she was worth her money.
"Qiu Xiang, don't lie to people, I understand this kind of cattiness, and it will be four or six points at that time, right." Li Guolou has two singers at home, plus Xie Xiuzhu and Zhen Yuhuan also have to set foot in this business, and the so-called redemption silver is greasy.
"Hmm." Qiu Xiang was exposed by Li Guolou, and responded lightly, the singer has to lie all day long, as for the value of the face, how can she say it cheaply.
"Tell me about the guy surnamed Zhang." Li Guolou said half of the words, the main culprit of "surnamed Zhang", of course, first got along with Qiu Xiang, this kind of thing will only be done if he talks in bed, and the main culprit of "surnamed Zhang" also personally inspected many singers, and found that there is a charming Qiu Xiang, and he can also speak well, which is why Qiu Xiang went out to seduce Wan Jia's ticket number Jirong.
Qiu Xiang thought about it and said, "Oh······ Zhang Dahai, who is about 30 years old, has no beard on his face, has a rectangular face, his cheekbones are a little higher, and his forehead is the same as that of Lord Li······ Three inches taller than Lord Li, a little thinner, the appearance belongs to the upper average, there is an obvious scar on the chest, like a centipede, very scary, the kung fu in bed, it's okay, it's better than ·······"
"Stop, don't compare in bed, Qiu Xiang, let's put the conversation on the main topic and talk back to me!"
"Thank you, Lord Li, for your kindness." Qiu Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief, and said that she was tired to death now, and she could finally stand up.
Li Guolou secretly pondered, the main culprit of "surnamed Zhang", the old traitor is cunning, the name is fake, the identity is also fake, after growing a beard, it is more difficult to recognize the suspect, and now I don't know where to hide in Beijing, although the case has a little eyebrows, but it is still unclear, only by digging deep and finding out the small loopholes, can there be a moment to see the day,
