"Not necessarily." Nangong Jin shook his head and deliberately pretended to be serious, "If you continue like this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to tell my cousin." ”

After speaking, he sighed, looking like he had nothing to do.

Qin Ran knew that he wouldn't tell his brother, but he still raised a hand and swore "I swear, I won't in the future, it's okay if my cousin isn't angry~"

After saying that, he pulled his sleeve with both hands and shook it vigorously.

Nangong Jin chuckled lightly and gently touched her head, "Okay, aren't you going to investigate the case, I'll tell you about it first." ”

"Uh-huh." Qin Ran nodded again and again.

Nangong Jin shook his head helplessly, but still slowly spoke, "The deceased is one of the double flowers of Wenchun Tower, named Meng Lan, before he died-"

Speaking of this, Nangong Jin subconsciously stopped, glanced at her, and then continued, "Who did the deceased do clouds and rain before he died, and there were no traces of struggle when he died, but there were traces of incense on his body." ”

Speaking of this, Nangong Jin stopped and asked her, "Do you understand?" ”

Although there are some things that are not good for her, since she has chosen this path, all this is inevitable.

Qin Ran tilted his head, looked at him and blinked, and asked very seriously, "Ask where is the Spring Tower?" What is the rain of clouds? ”

Nangong Jin looked at her innocent appearance, and she blushed first, "It's just... Men and women get married, what they have to do when they are in the cave room, and ask the spring building, which is the green building. ”

After saying that, he avoided her gaze and pretended to look out of the window casually, only then did he remember that the window had been closed by him.

"Oh." Qin Ran nodded, as if what he had said before was what he had eaten today.

This time she understood, but she also felt that there was nothing, there were more things in this world, and it was not herself, what was there to be ashamed of.

Qin Ran couldn't help but think silently after hearing this.

Qinglou Shuanghua, before he died, he traveled with people through clouds and rain, there was incense in his body, and he never struggled when he died.

It's not suicide, so why did the murderer go to great lengths to kill a woman in a green building?

Nangong Jin saw her thinking casually, and couldn't help but clench her fist against her lips with one hand and cough pretending to cough, "Ahem..."

"Cousin, are you not feeling well?" Qin Ran came back to his senses and looked at him puzzled.

It's blushing and coughing, don't be sick?!

Nangong Jin resisted the urge to hold his forehead, and said helplessly, "I haven't finished talking yet..."

When Qin Ran heard this, he immediately straightened himself up, and was ready to listen to him.

Nangong Jin was a little uncomfortable by her like this, but she still said, "Menglan was fished from the lake by Si Qinian ten days ago, and she was already dead when she fished it up."

On the night of Menglan's accident, He Shizi invited her to go to the lake with Mengsi, but Mengsi didn't go, Menglan went.

He Shizi asked Meng Lan to wait for the other sons, but Meng Lan only fell in love with He Shizi, so the two had a quarrel, and Meng Lan left by herself.

But according to the investigation, Meng Lan had never traveled with people on the painting boat, nor had she returned to Wenchun Tower, so when the accident happened, she could only be on the road. ”

Qin Ran was silent and didn't speak, only lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

In the middle of the sound, Qin Ran suddenly raised his eyes, "That dream that night, why didn't you go to the lake to paint a boat?" ”

Ordinary people will not let go of the opportunity to get close to the aristocracy, let alone a Qinglou woman!

She won't look down on the Qinglou woman, but it's common sense.

With the help of the power of the nobility to get rid of that quagmire, this is probably what every Qinglou woman wants.

……

On the other side, ask the spring building.

As soon as the night began, it was rumored that Mengsi, who had not picked up customers for a long time, was going to dance and pick up customers tonight.

The women who knew were disdainful, and hurriedly skipped by the hateful scolding, while the men were overjoyed for a while.

For a while, the Wenchun Building was crowded with people.

In the crowd, Meng Si slowly floated down from the second floor in a red dance dress.

Fluttering, graceful like a dragon, beautiful and colorful, and crony flying.

At the end of the dance, the low man looked at Meng Si on the stage, and his eyes were reluctant to take half a minute away.

The beauty is more delicate and charming than the flower, a dance skirt outlines a delicate figure, and the gauzy dance skirt is not revealed, but adds a bit of mystery.

The men couldn't help but swallow their saliva as they looked at the beauty's exposed white jade-like skin.

The old bustard looked at everyone's reactions, and walked onto the stage with a smile, "Uncles and sons, do you think tonight's Mengsi girl is beautiful?" ”

"Beautiful!" Everyone shouted in unison.

The old bustard smiled even more happily when he heard this: "Then do you want it?" ”

"Yes!"

"Think, why don't you want to, but is that what you want?"

Low, someone told the truth.

Since Meng Si entered the Qinglou, picking up customers depends on her mood, if she is in a bad mood or doesn't like it, no matter how high the price is, it is useless.

No, He Xiaoshizi, who has been turned away in the past few days, has still not succeeded in coercion and temptation.

The old bustard laughed almost without eyes, pinched his throat and said, "Tonight is different, Miss Mengsi said, tonight, the one with the highest price will get it, as long as the starting price is paid, she will accept it." ”

After the bustard finished speaking, the lowly people shouted one after another, and in the end, He Yixiao became Mengsi's guest tonight with a thousand taels of silver.

……

Early the next morning, the streets and alleys were full of news that Mengsi no longer picks customers, as long as the price is high.

Qin Ruanzhi, who was preparing to go out in the mansion, narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and just ordered his subordinates to continue to investigate.

Two days later, Qin Dye was almost ready, and early in the morning, he begged Qin Ruan Zhi to take her out of the house.

Qin Ruanzhi glanced at his little hand, nodded and agreed.

Qin Ran changed into men's clothes, walked to the gate with Qin Ruanyi, and bumped into Nangong Jin, who had been waiting there for a long time.

Nangong Jin leaned under the tree next to the outer gate, and when he heard the footsteps, he raised his head, and the corners of his lips hooked up with a smile, "What a coincidence." ”

"Unfortunately, let's go!" Qin Ruan Zhi only glanced at him, then took Qin Ran and walked out of the door.

Nangong Jin walked up to Qin Ran in a few steps and said with concern, "Cousin is better?" ”

"Hmm." Qin Ran nodded and glanced at him puzzled, "Cousin, what are you going to do?" ”

"Say so much and do it, let's go!" Qin Ruanzhi, who was walking in front, glanced back at Nangong Jin and urged.

That glance was a little cold, Nangong Jinquan didn't see it.

Qin Ruanzhi didn't want to break it, and when he talked to his father last night, he also knew that Nangong Jin had always had that kind of thought about Ran'er.

Qin Ran is usually not a person who talks so much, especially if there are cases to investigate next.

None of them spoke again.

I only got into the carriage and came all the way to the door of Wenchun Tower.

As soon as you enter, there is a pungent smell of rouge gouache.

The old bustard had already known Qin Ruanzhi in the past few days, and he felt bad when he saw him at this time, but he still greeted him, "Hey, why are you here again, please inside." ”

Qin Ruan Zhi didn't seem to see the smirk on her face, and said expressionlessly, "Clear out the room next to Miss Mengsi, and don't tell anyone that we are inside." ”

"It's... All right! The old bustard originally wanted to say something, but a pair of cold eyes from Qin Ruan Zhi instantly shut up in amusement.

Several people came to the room, and while waiting for the night to come, Qin Ruan Zhi suddenly thought of something, took out a sachet from his arms and handed it to Qin Ran.

Qin Ran took the sachet and gave him a strange look, then lowered his head and sniffed, and a cold incense came into his nose.
