Gu Qing looked at the girl with a haggard face who had changed a lot with some surprise: "Ziyi, why are you here?"

"Waiting for you. Song Ziyi's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at him with some eagerness: "How is it, that ......?"

"Here. ”

Gu Qing stretched out his hand and returned the statue to her: "I have taken over this matter, you can rest assured, the owner of the pavilion is my Gu Qing's life-saving benefactor, and I will definitely give you the truth about his death." ”

Song Ziyi's red lips trembled slightly, and in the end, a thousand words turned into three short words: "Please." ”

"Go back and recuperate and wait for the truth. Gu Qing waved his hand and led people directly into the inn: "Where is the shopkeeper?"

A bearded man stepped forward and said, "The villain is here." ”

"Interesting. Gu Qing's gaze paused on his hand, and his eyes were dark: "Where is the place of the person who died a few days ago?"

The man led the way: "The second floor of the Tianzi room." ”

"Huh. Gu Qing smiled, swept over the people around him, paused on a woman in white, and immediately looked away.

When I came to the house, the things here were still in their original form, and no one had touched them.

The man pointed to the table and said, "My lord, at that time, the guest was lying on the table, as if he was asleep, and my second child saw him sleeping soundly, so it was inconvenient to disturb him, but who knew that he was ......." ”

"Didn't drink. Gu Qing looked at the upside-down teacup on the table and sniffed it gently: "There is no smell of wine, there is no trace of fighting, it's a bit interesting." ”

Yacha said in a timely manner: "My lord, the tea has been tested, and it is non-toxic." ”

"Are you sure no one has touched the room?" Gu Qing's attention suddenly focused on the ground, and he confirmed again.

Yacha hurriedly replied: "No, even the movement of the corpse was only done after the portrait was painted, and it was still done by one person." ”

"Where's the portrait?"

"Here. ”

Crash~

Gu Qing unfolded the paper, and Song Tiancheng's dead state was sitting on a chair, lying on the table, the teacup fell next to his hand, his legs were together, and the toe of one foot was pushed into the gap in the carpet. Flash Dance

After looking at it for a moment, Gu Qing suddenly bent down and lifted the carpet under the table.

Nothing.

However, Gu Qing unconsciously got a little closer, sniffed his nose, his brows suddenly relaxed, got up and came to the window to look around, and hurriedly caught a glimpse of a white-clothed figure flashing into a certain shop.

"Interesting. Gu Qing squatted down again, stretched out his nails and picked twice in the gap in the wood, pinching out a thin fragment.

Yacha's eyes were sharp, and he quickly recognized the origin of this fragment according to the residual texture on it: "Purple marble, could this be a fragment of the missing ornament of the pawnshop?"

Gu Qing put it away and chuckled: "It's unlikely, I'm personally inclined to ...... There should be more than one thing of this purple marble, but the reason why the dead person died in such a strange way should have something to do with it. ”

Yacha bowed his head: "Your Excellency is wise." ”

"Wise fart, just scratching the surface. ”

Gu Qing pursed his lips, his eyes flashed with murderous intent: "The mastermind behind the scenes is deeply hidden, and the clues have to be used, this time it is not a trivial matter, but fortunately, the murderer has revealed his feet." ”

The warning brought by the talent suddenly became several times stronger when he found this fragment, which shows that the water in this matter can be deep.

He licked his lips, and suddenly remembered the old man in Meng Liang's house who was still in the stargazing courtyard, and he unconsciously felt a little bottomless in his heart.

Gu Qing lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked the shopkeeper to bring a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a letter and handed it to the yacha: "Send this letter to the post station immediately, the highest level is urgent, and pass it to ...... Dinglong faction Zhao Wuyuan. ”

"Yes, sir. The yacha received the order and left quickly.

Gu Qing looked out the window and couldn't help muttering, "Next, there will be dead people." Wait for the dead, I'm afraid this drama has just begun. ”

One of them hurriedly went upstairs and saluted: "My lord, the brother who went to the stargazing courtyard is back." ”

Gu Qing said lightly: "I guess, those people should shirk it, right?"

The Yacha who came after him lowered his head with a flushed face: "That's right." ”

"I don't blame you, it's normal. ”

Gu Qing smiled in a low voice, and took the lead and walked out: "I have a personal vendetta with the people of the Stargazing Academy, and I am involved in strange things, and eighty percent will implicate the Imperial Dragon Pavilion."

They may have already known that this matter was borne by me Gu Qing, but they can't talk nonsense when they send someone to ask them, otherwise they will be blamed for the crime after the fact.

Therefore, they simply delayed it, and when it happened, I didn't get it done on time, and this group of people inevitably worked behind their backs to add fuel to the fire. ”

Walking outside the inn, he stretched his muscles, brought the sound of crackling beans, and strode in one direction: "They are very good, I have just arrived in the capital, and I am very unfamiliar with all aspects."

Therefore, even if I take 10,000 steps back to find out about this matter, I am afraid that I will inadvertently provoke some people, and these people can crush me to death if they fall into the well. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, then slowly pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife, and said secretly in his heart: "But unfortunately, this group of old things is really miscalculated, I am from the Imperial Dragon Pavilion, Lao Tzu...... It's not an official oil. ”

Gu Qing coughed, waved his hand and returned to the inn: "You wait a while, I'll go to the latrine." ”

After a while, Gu Qing walked out with a comfortable face and walked towards the left side of the street.

Yacha said: "My lord, the remaining two murder scenes are not in this direction. ”

"I don't have to go, I'm lucky to find so many things. Gu Qing shook his head with interest: "Let's disperse first, let me think about it, and make plans tomorrow." ”

The yacha looked at each other, but in the end they didn't say anything more, and retreated.

In their opinion, Gu Qing found out so many abnormalities that he had not found before in just one day, which was already extremely strong, and if he wanted to make progress, he was afraid that he needed to clarify what was in front of him.

After all, he was a human being, not an omniscient god.

Waiting for them to leave, Gu Qing smiled meaningfully and walked towards a certain jewelry store.

A fragrant fragrance, willow eyebrows, cherry lips and nose of the proprietress swayed gracefully with graceful steps, and hurriedly greeted her. "Official, please come in. ”

"Purple Marble's workshop?" Gu Qing strolled through the shelves, looked around, sat down on the seat with a smile, and took out the fragment from his arms: "Explain?"

The look of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, but her psychological quality was very strong, and she showed a puzzled look at the right time: "Official, this fragment is true of purple marble, but the workshop that sells purple marble jewelry in the capital is not just a slave family." ”

"Really?" Gu Qing put away the fragments and said lightly: "The boss lady just went out?"

The proprietress had a twinkle in her beautiful eyes and smiled smartly: "The slave family is in the store all day long." ”

Gu Qing poured himself a cup of tea and chuckled: "Boss, you are very fragrant, what are you wearing? I don't seem to have smelled this smell." ”

The proprietress explained with a smile: "Gui Yunxiang, go out eighty steps to the left, it is sold in Ziyue Building, it is said that the process is quite complicated, and the reputation is not obvious, so it is normal for the official to not smell it." ”

"The price is not cheap, is it?" Gu Qing took a sip of tea.

After a pause, the proprietress still answered the question: "Nine taels of silver a box, which can be used for three months." ”

Because as long as Gu Qing wanted to investigate this issue, he couldn't hide it from him at all, so there was no need to hide it, and he could only increase his suspicion.

"Nine taels of silver? hehe~"

Gu Qing lowered his eyes and said softly: "I often hear that the capital is rich, but now it seems that it is true." A shop that sells purple marble can afford this kind of consumption. ”

The proprietress remained silent: "My daughter's family loves beauty after all." What's more, the slave family has not yet been married, so they have to dress up well and find a wishful husband. ”

Syllable~

Gu Qing opened the two teacups again, poured the tea, pushed one cup in front of the proprietress, and put the other cup in the middle of the table.

The curling heat mixed with the fragrance of tea, the faces of the two were a little blurred by the heat, the atmosphere gradually became low, the air seemed to be frozen, and the shop was not big...... Needle drops can be heard.

Gu Qing said faintly: "The Holy Lotus Sect, which first existed 1,157 years ago, has been requisitioned by all parties many times, and has been defeated and rekindled several times, it is really a strong tenacity. ”

The proprietress hadn't spoken yet.

Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, and a woman in white moved lightly, and came to the front of the seat to make a blessing slowly: "Gu Qing, a mere martial arts worker, has no experience in the world, but his mentality is calm, and the city is like an abyss."

With repeated calculations, he found out the truth about the robbery of the tribute, killed the evil king sect, exterminated the real murderer Meng family, and the strength of the country can be called terrifying, it is really unseemly. ”

Gu Qing sipped tea and chuckled: "For more than a thousand years, even if it is a pig, it will become shrewd." I always thought that people were the same, otherwise how could there be an old saying, called ...... Is it a thief to be old and not die?

But when I saw you today, I suddenly realized that the old saying is not necessarily true, there are always some stupid people in the world who are not enlightened, such as ...... You guys. ”

The woman in white sat down, took off her veil, and revealed her delicate facial features: "However, stupid people generally live longer, and people who pretend to be smart often end up miserable." ”

Gu Qingpi didn't smile, and the two people who watched it were a little worried in their hearts: "Is it?"

"Isn't it?" the woman in white asked, looking up.

Gu Qing sighed lightly, got up and wanted to leave: "It seems that I am leaving." ”

The woman in white looked at him: "Does the official think that this door is so easy to enter and exit?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Qing looked at her condescendingly.

The two of them were silent, lowered their heads and looked at the tea quietly, as if there was something here that could discern the flowers.

Gu Qing glanced at them meaninglessly, let out a chuckle, strode out of the shop, and touched a jewelry pendant as he left.

——

A hidden place.

The woman with a white lotus imprint on her eyebrows asked softly, "You mean, this matter provoked the people of the Imperial Dragon Pavilion?

The proprietress lowered her head a little gloomily: "It's our negligence, that guy's nose is like a dog, and he can find the taste." ”

The woman thought for a while, shook her head and smiled: "It's you who are too cautious and too cautious, which caused him to come to the door." If you don't retrieve the Holy Lotus Fragment, there will be no fragrance left, and Gu Qing will naturally not notice it.
