Chapter 23: Key Clues

Qing'er is dead.

Seven orifices were bleeding, and her originally snow-white and attractive breasts were scratched by her, and she died a miserable death.

The hero got the news early in the morning and rushed to the Zuixiang Building as soon as possible, and the moment he saw Qing'er's corpse, he suddenly understood why he was always flustered and difficult to calm down yesterday.

Zuixiang Building was opened by the eldest sister, and it is not a secret that the eldest sister is in charge of the affairs of the night owl. According to common sense, if Qing'er has any special information, she should report it to her.

Of course, deliberately choosing to tell him can also be explained that he happened to be there, and Qing'er wanted to gain the favor of the young palace master, which was also the reason why he couldn't notice the abnormality at the first time.

However, according to Qing'er, that Xie Dacheng didn't mention the "Longevity Pill" recently, according to Qing'er's mercenary nature, let alone not sure whether it is true or false, even if he knows that it is fake, he should report it as soon as possible.

Because everyone knows that the night owl spy is doing something to catch the wind.

In other words, Qing'er mentioned Xie Dacheng to him yesterday, which was a trap against him!

He didn't know exactly how it would be operated, but he could be sure that it was precisely because of his own sensitivity and vigilance to danger that he was restless, so he subconsciously avoided it, and did not directly participate in the arrest of Xie Dacheng, but chose to go to the Yisi warehouse.

This may be one of the additional abilities of the earthly god realm, although it is subtle, but it is of great significance.

Qing'er was covered in red fruit and collapsed in front of the dresser, seemingly trying to save herself before she died, and struggled to climb off the bed.

Look at her appearance, there should be a circle of forks and crosses before death, if there is a scientific and technological means in the previous life, the hero will definitely open her indescribable places for the first time to find evidence, but unfortunately, in this era, even the fingerprint identification system can't be done, let alone the detection of hair and body fluids.

Undaunted, he carefully examined the tables, chairs, tea sets, and beds, but found nothing, and the hero returned to Qing'er's corpse, frowning and muttering: "If you want to save yourself, why don't you go to the door instead, but come to the dresser?" ”

He circled the dresser twice, but found nothing wrong with it, and although it was messy, it seemed to have everything it should have, except for a palm-sized compact.

The powder box was held in Qing'er's hand, it was very tight, and it took out with two hands.

After calling Qing'er's maid in and making sure that nothing was missing from the dresser, the hero picked up the powder box, opened the lid and smelled it, it was a faint floral fragrance, which seemed to be normal.

Pouring out all the powder in the box and handing it over to a professional to test, the hero took the box into his arms, squatted down and said to Qing'er: "Look at the way you looked before you died, I believe you want to say something through this."

Rest assured, I received it, and although I can't guess what you mean yet, I promise you that I will definitely do my best to track down the murderer, for your sake and for myself.

So, rest in peace! ”

He reached out and put his hand over the girl's eyes full of fear and resentment.

Although Qing'er tried to kill her yesterday, the person was dead, and he couldn't vent his anger on a corpse.

Ordering the waiting servant to carry away the body, the hero walked out of the room and came downstairs, and Yinglan, who was listening to the report of his subordinates, immediately raised his hand to stop him and asked him, "Did you find anything?" ”

The hero took out the powder box: "The key should be on this box, but I can't think of what Qing'er wants to express through it for the time being." ”

Ying Lan took it and looked at it, and said, "This box is well-made, it should be made by a famous craftsman, and the price is very expensive." Perhaps, it was given to her by a guest, and that person was the murderer? ”

"It's not. I asked, and Qing'er told her maid to buy the box. The hero said, "I'm not very familiar with your women's supplies, please take a closer look, is there anything special about it?" ”

Ying Lan looked at it for a long time, and shook her head: "Except that it is a lacquerware, which is relatively rare, I can't see anything." ”

Lacquerware?

Like a bolt of lightning struck his mind, the hero snatched the box and rushed back to Qing'er's room upstairs.

After a while, he came back with a complicated expression and said to Ying Lan: "It's the only lacquerware on the dresser, and this should be the key." ”

Ying Lan was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "What can the only lacquerware say?" ”

The hero opened his mouth, but in the end he said, "I don't know." However, this is at least a direction to think about, and it is better than being confused. ”

"Alright! I'll send someone to check all the lacquerware shops in Frost City. Saying that, Ying Lan showed pity on her face, touched his face, and said: "Look at your haggard appearance, I just came back from Bannu Mountain the day before yesterday, and I was injured again yesterday, and my vitality has not recovered, go back and rest, there is a sister here!" ”

The hero nodded: "Then I'll go." Try not to let too many people know about lacquerware, especially its uniqueness, no one can say anything. ”

"Why?"

"I have a little idea, but I'm not sure yet, and I'll tell you when I think about it."

When leaving Zuixiang Building, the hero found Dong Miaoniang from the girls watching not far away, looking at the girl's frightened and pleading appearance, his first reaction was to take her back to Bilian Garden, but then vetoed again.

Because in the public perception, there is discord between the two, and bringing Dong Miaoniang back will put her in danger.

Hardening his heart and retracting his gaze, the hero boarded the carriage and ordered Yinghe to go to the Eight Pole Palace.

"Jia Qiao, you say, why do so many people betray those close to them? Is it really human nature that is inherently evil? ”

In the swaying carriage, the hero lay in Jia Qiao's arms with his eyes closed, and his tone was quiet.

In the past two days, the young master has had a lot of esoteric questions, and Jia Qiao can only work hard to carry out the "exercise" that he is not good at-thinking.

After a while, she twisted her little face and said, "I'm sorry young master, I can't figure out why, but isn't the word betrayal originally used to describe the kind of bad people who hurt their relatives?"

If you are not even close, how can you betray? ”

"Heh, this idea of yours is a novelty." The hero smiled bitterly, "Yes! There is only betrayal between relatives and relatives, and if there is no affection and trust, how can there be pain? ”

Looking at the young master's lonely appearance, Jia Qiao was very distressed.

"Young Master, since you came back from Bannu Mountain, you can't count the number of sighs in the past two days. Jia Qiao feels as if you are very tired. Why don't you go and talk to the old lady, let's go out for a walk?

Well...... Go to Luozhou, if you go faster, maybe you can catch up with Su Yanyan. ”

The hero really smiled this time, raised his hand and pinched the tip of the little girl's nose, "What's the matter?" Do you think the young master is unhappy because Yan Yan is not there? What a silly girl.

Rest assured! I just used to be idle for too long, and suddenly I started to do things, and I was a little unused to it, and I will get better slowly. ”

After a pause, he sighed again, looked at the cornices of the palace wall outside the car window, and said to himself as if with emotion: "Well, it should be...... Let's get used to it! ”
