Li Mo listened to Zhao Wu's rough talk, and then he understood why Master Xu sighed heavily when he passed by the Warm Fragrance Pavilion just now. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Also, whoever changes to the neighbor who makes a living in this stall will be unhappy.

Thinking so, they walked quickly past the Warm Fragrance Pavilion. After walking for a while, he finally came to the door of Xu's house.

The green willows outside the pink wall hang low, and there are two jade lions on the stone steps.

On the towering door, a golden plaque hangs high, and two big characters of Xu Mansion are written on it.

The entrance is a zigzag verandah, and the stones under the steps are spread into a road.

The whole courtyard is magnificent, and the flowers are splendid.

The Xu Mansion that Li Mo saw showed two words everywhere: rich!

After entering the door, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted him and led Li Mo and Zhao Wu to the young lady's attic.

It is a small three-storey loft with a very elaborate decoration.

The butler pointed to the window on the third floor, "The eldest lady lives in that room." ”

Li Mo looked up and saw that the windows on the third floor were open, and the pink veil was blown from side to side by the wind.

is so high, even if Miss Xu can punch and kick, it is not easy to jump off.

Could it be that there really are monsters?

Li Mo was happy when he thought of this, he blamed the bald donkey Fahai, when he saw him, he thought of the White Lady, thought of the young girl, thought of the five ghosts and the centipede spirit, he was really drunk.

The butler led them upstairs to the eldest lady's boudoir.

If it weren't for this incident, the woman's boudoir would not have been forbidden.

The boudoir is elegantly and warmly furnished, faintly revealing a faint peach blossom fragrance, which is very pleasant.

Li Mo and Zhao Wu searched carefully in the boudoir, and found no useful clues except for the somewhat messy bedding.

"Alas, you said this man was fine, why did he suddenly disappear." Zhao Wu walked to the window irritably, picked up a few fresh peach blossom bones scattered on the window lattice, and muttered depressedly.

The housekeeper also said, "Yes, although my young lady has a more lively temperament, she never provokes right and wrong. Could it be, could it be, was it really a monster? ”

"Youkai?" Li Mo repeated.

The butler nodded, "Yes, it's spread all over the city, saying that these lost women were taken captive by monsters!" The watchman once saw with his own eyes that a man in Tsing Yi was holding a girl and disappeared in front of him, so frightened that the lantern in his hand fell. ”

"This matter is related to the reputation of your young lady, and before it is investigated, you should not spread it in private. If you provoke your master to be angry, I'm afraid that ......" Li Mo stopped and did not continue.

The butler's face turned white, yes, if the master knew that they were spreading nonsense, he would have to pull out the root of their tongue!

"Poor masters, Lao Keke didn't say a word." As he spoke, the housekeeper took out two taels of loose silver and stuffed them to Li Mo and Zhao Wu respectively, "Those words just now were all people chewing on the root of their tongues, I will definitely discipline them when I turn around, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Li Mo and Zhao Wu put away the loose silver and said goodbye, "I didn't find any useful clues here, the two of us will immediately return to the yamen to resume their lives and leave!" ”

On the way back, Li Mo couldn't help but take Zhao Wu's words, "Wu'er, you say, will we have monsters here?" ”

Zhao Wule was happy, "Si'er, you are still a big man, how can you act like a woman?" Lang Lang Qiankun, where to get some monsters! ”

Li Mo relieved himself at this time, it seems that although this is not the Song Dynasty recorded in the history books, nor is it the white snake world where monsters fly around, then it is good.

After returning to the county office, Li Mo followed Zhao Wu to return the investigation results, and came to the backyard of the county office.

At this time, the county magistrate was half-leaning on a recliner, squinting slightly in the sun, very comfortable.

"Back to my lord, the two of us haven't found any useful clues." Zhao Wu saw that Li Mo was silent for a long time, so he had to take the lead in speaking.

The county magistrate didn't open his eyes, took a candied fruit from a few cases on the side and threw it into his mouth, and said lazily, "That is, the investigation is not careful enough, there will always be clues, but you haven't found it yet." ”

Li Mo and Zhao Wu looked at each other when they said this, the case happened strangely, and there were no eyewitnesses, where to get any clues.

"As long as you commit a crime, you will leave a trace. What you lack is the eye to find this trace. The county magistrate opened his eyes as he spoke, his sharp eyes were as bright as stars, "You went to squat last night, and you didn't find anything else, but you bumped into Miss Xu." Now Miss Xu has disappeared inexplicably. What's the connection? ”

Zhao Wu was a little dazed, and said shyly, "Master, my brain is only suitable for eating and drinking, and it is really not suitable for thinking about other things." ”

"We've all been under that peach tree? The peach tree that is said to be able to see your future husband by burning incense? Li Mo said uncertainly.

The county magistrate lazily cocked Erlang's legs, "I heard that it has spread in the city, saying that it is the monster's doing." Not to mention whether there is a demon or not, even if there is, it will not leave the slightest trace. Think about it again, what is different in the room of the eldest lady of the Xu family today? ”

"No, it's just an ordinary boudoir, but it's pretty inside." Zhao Wu smiled, this was the first time he had seen Miss Qianjin's boudoir.

No, Li Mo's eyes lit up, "Flower bones, we found a few budding peach blossom bones on the window lattice." ”

"What's so rare about that, these young ladies like to fold flowers and grass, it's too normal. Besides, it's not surprising that the wind is so strong that it may have been blown in. Zhao Wu was very unimpressed.

Li Mo thought about it carefully and said with certainty, "No, all the willow trees planted outside the courtyard wall of Xu Yuanwai's house are far away from that attic. Even if it is blown by the wind from a distance, it can only be a few petals, and it cannot be a fresh flower bone. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mo couldn't help but gasp.

He remembered that the old man in Taohuawu and the husband in the city both saw a ghostly man in Tsing Yi in the middle of the night.

Could it be that the peach tree has really cultivated and taken away these young girls?

Thinking of this, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

If it is a wicked person who harms others, at most send more manpower, spend more time, and exert more effort, and you will always be able to catch it.

But if it is a spirit crime, it is difficult to find traces, where to find it?

Even if you are lucky enough to find something, where will you arrest it?

If that spirit knows some sorcery or something, no matter how many servants there are, it won't be enough for him to do!

"Whenever a crime is committed, there is always a motive." The county magistrate was still half-leaning on the recliner steadily, and even yawned lazily, "It's weird or something, it's really scary." But many times, the human heart is more terrible than demons. ”

"That is, wherever there are monsters, they are all bad people doing bad things in the name of monsters." Zhao Wu never believed in any monsters, "Let's go under that tree again tonight, if that monster dares to come out, I will be the first to cut him!" ”
