Mother Liu secretly wiped the cold sweat from the corner of her forehead and secretly gave Wednesday a look.

The tall figure that had been standing in the shadows almost blended with the darkness in the room moved slowly, with heavy and powerful steps, and walked towards the dressing table, and then he did not hesitate to wait, and directly bent down to uncover the lid of the box.

Another rush of bloody gas rushed out.

Li Rui and I stepped forward at the same time, looking at the bottom of the empty box, only a few colorful thin dresses and belly pockets were stacked haphazardly, and nothing else.

"How could it be gone?!"

Could it be that this time Liu's mother didn't hide the body in the box?

But what about the bloody gas that just wafted out?

Li Rui's face was like a dark cloud, and his gloomy eyes were motionless, staring at the clothes of his daughter's family in the box, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a plain lotus silk blouse that seemed to be stained with blood, so I bent down and picked up the garment, and sure enough, it was indeed blood, but it seemed to have been rubbed on it by accident, and it had dried out.

"Master Li, you see that I really didn't lie to you, how can there be a corpse hidden in the Star Picking Pavilion!"

Mother Liu's tone was mixed with a hint of strange relaxation, as if the strings that had been tense in her heart before were about to be broken at any time were also a little relaxed at this moment, she rearranged her clothes, stepped forward, Zhengyu eased the atmosphere, and looked at Li Rui's cold, cold and cold eyes.

"Mother Liu, although there is no body, there are traces of blood. I deliberately corrected: "Obviously there is someone hidden in this box." ”

The ease that the old bustard had previously stayed in his eyes was instantly replaced by the anger that burst out in his eyes, if it weren't for Li Rui's presence, I was afraid that it would not be enough to vent my hatred if I was skinned and boneless.

"Green glaze, you have to say again and again that there is a hidden corpse in the Star Picking Pavilion, what is the purpose? Yes, I appreciate your appearance and temperament, and I am willing to spend ten times more than other girls to buy you back, but it doesn't mean that I have to indulge you without a bottom line and tolerate you.

If you insist on splashing this basin of dirty water in the Star Picking Pavilion, you will come up with more evidence, if not, you will offend Lord Li, and I must also be wronged by the girls in my building!"

In the cramped room, like an undercurrent surging, the sharp-toothed mother Liu seems to have regained the field, and the momentum is fierce, I have ridden on this tigress, and it is even more difficult.

Only Li Rui was still unfazed, and glanced at us as if he was out of the way, with a cold and calm look in his eyes, with a majesty that could not be presumptuous.

"Alright. ”

His attitude became tougher, "There are blood stains in the room of the Qinglou, which is unusual, and now Mingxiang has mysteriously disappeared from the locked room, no one can escape the involvement, this official will go to inform Shuntianfu Yin now, and the Xingxing Pavilion will be sealed and disposed of for the time being, and Mingxiang will find it, and the case will be investigated clearly before making a decision!"

"No!"

Mother Liu staggered over, grabbed Li Rui's sleeves with both hands, and hurriedly said: "Lord Li, you must not close the store! Tonight is the opening banquet of Mingxiang, most of the guests who come are wealthy guests in Beijing, and there are a few officials who can't afford to offend like you.

Li Rui turned his head to look at her, his sword eyebrows were frivolous, but his voice was cold, "Oh, if you don't want to close the store, Mother Liu can hand over the fragrance." ”

All the expressions on Liu's mother's face froze suddenly, as if she suddenly didn't know how to answer, but she clenched Li Rui's sleeve tightly as if she was a little stunned, and she was obviously frightened, and even worse, frightened.

Li Rui didn't look at her anymore, and with a strong arm, he brushed his sleeves out, and walked towards me with a cool breath.

"You go out with me first and do a few things. ”

"Good. ”

My right hand was wrapped in the warm, dry palm again, and he led me out of Mingxiang's room as if no one was around.

When we came to the corridor, there were already a few strange-looking guests downstairs, the first one was tall but a little thin, wearing a high-end brocade robe that was completely different from the others behind him, and the dark green jade pendant hung around his waist, and the water head was excellent, and at first glance he was the top gold lord in the city.

The few men who followed him were all in the prime of life, looking fierce and vicious, and there seemed to be a few big characters written on their faces, which was not easy to mess with.

As soon as they entered the Star Picking Pavilion, their steps were hurried, and their expressions were anxious, and they were not as anxious as other guests to find the girl, and looked around as if they were looking for someone.

Li Rui only glanced over there, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cold arc, "Hmph, I came quite quickly." ”

"Who are they?" I asked.

Li Rui said: "The pillar behind the Star Pavilion is the same as Anhou Guo Zhi." ”

"Master Hou, you look quite young!" I couldn't help but look at this nobleman twice, and suddenly I felt my fingers tightened, so I quickly and cautiously added: "Of course, you are younger, handsome and golden, and charming!"

"Where did you learn these weird words? Li Rui smiled.

"Did they get a letter from Liu's mother?"

Li Rui said: "Although Tong'an Hou is a marquis, his rank is above me, but this matter is related to human life, and he can't interfere too much, I have arranged for the guards to send a letter to Shuntian Mansion Yin in advance before I came, I believe they are also about to arrive." ”

"The praying mantis is you, and the yellow finch is also you, amazing. I deliberately flattered me.

Li Rui rubbed my hair with his free hand, leaned over and gently dropped a kiss between my eyebrows, as if the soft goose feathers were gently brushing my whole face.

"Dongtian, you go back to the room and wait for me first, I will go to the private room to explain the situation to a few other colleagues, and then wait for the handover with Shuntianfu Yin to close the store and investigate the case, and then I will come to pick you up and go home. ”

Return...... Family?

These two words slammed into my heart, like two huge pieces of honey melting in an instant, filling all the corners of my heart.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. I replied without further delay in his business, and watched him turn and go downstairs, and then turned around and prepared to return to my room.

At that moment, my eyes unconsciously caught another glimpse of the dark room with the door half-open.

Mother Liu and Wednesday were gone, empty, and the strange atmosphere was separated by a thin wooden door, like a dark monster lurking in this noisy flower building, and at some point it was about to open its bloody mouth and devour all the living in the building.

In a trance, I only felt a chill all over my body, and I hurried away with my arms in my arms, but there was always a fog in my mind, as if I had missed something.
