Shangguan Jin sat in the teahouse opposite the Qinglou, looking at the people coming in and out of the Qinglou, he couldn't help frowning, and asked Mingyi next to him: "Will there be a lack of someone, I have been watching here for a long time, and I always feel that something is wrong." ”

"Master, my subordinates also feel this way, but I always feel that I can't say anything." Ming Yi scratched his head and said to Shangguan Jin.

Shangguan Jin squinted his eyes, thinking carefully, and suddenly his eyes enlarged and said, "The boss of Cuiyue Tower, Jia Dafu!" ”

Jia Dafu is also the owner of the largest restaurant in Liancheng, he is high-profile, often wears gold and silver, and there is a gold tooth on the side of his mouth, every time he laughs at the gold tooth, it hurts, Shangguan Jin can't help but remember him.

"Quickly go find someone to investigate and see if he came early." Shangguan Jin squinted his eyes and whispered to Ming Yi.

"Yes, my subordinates will go."

Shangguan Jin saw that he was gone, so he turned his eyes to the Qinglou, took a sip of tea and lay on the cushion on the back of the seat.

In less than a cup of tea, Ming Yi walked towards Shangguan Jin.

"Master, that Cuiyue Lou Dejia Dafu didn't go to Qinglou, and no one was in Cuiyue Lou, nor was he at home, I don't know where I'm going now." Ming Yi walked up to Shangguan Jin and whispered to him.

"Let's go, let's go to the Qinglou first." Shangguan Jin said, walked downstairs and walked towards the Qinglou opposite, and Ming Yi hurriedly followed.

After Shangguan Jin came to the Qinglou, he looked at the people in the Qinglou left and right, shook his head, and walked upstairs.

As soon as I walked to the third floor, I was stopped by the little maid.

"This master, you can't go in here." The little guy stopped Shangguan Jin and said slightly.

"Why not? Get in here..."Shangguan Jin asked with squinted eyes.

The little guy didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Shangguan Jin saw that he couldn't get any news here, so he walked out of the Qinglou with Ming Yi.

Shangguan Jin looked at the sun above his head and said nothing.

Ming Yi looked at Shangguan Jin and said, "Master, what should I do now?" ”

Shangguan Jin didn't say anything, looked into the distance and said, "Okay, now let's go to Donglin Pavilion, like Xiahou wants a search warrant!" ”

"I've seen the Seventh Highness, I wonder if His Highness has made any new discoveries this time?" Xiahou asked eagerly after saluting Shangguan Jin.

"It's some discovery, I found that Jia Dafu, the hotel owner who often goes out of the building, didn't come, and sent someone to check and found that there was no place where he frequented, and I found that there should be some secrets of invisible people when I entered the top floor of the building." Shangguan Jin sat on a chair next to him, took a sip of tea and said.

"We don't have a search warrant, we can't go in, and the purpose of coming here now is to get you to make a search warrant!"

Xia Hou breathed a sigh of relief and said slightly: "This is all a trivial matter, I will ask you to send a search warrant, let's go to the Qinglou to see what is going on!" ”

Shangguan Jin nodded, and after a while, the guards handed the search warrant to Xia Hou, and the two hurried to the Qinglou.

"Officials, what are you doing with such fanfare? Here, our small shop still has to do business! Mother said to Xiahou and Shangguan Jin with a sad face.

Xia Hou looked at his mother and took out the search warrant from his sleeve: "Donglin Pavilion investigates the case!" ”

The mother's face changed and changed, and finally her face was like ashes, and she was stunned in place, Shangguan Jin looked at her and didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the third floor.

The two cautiously walked up to the third floor, pushed open the room, and a strong smell of blood came out.

Shangguan Jin and Xia Hou looked at each other, and the two of them covered their mouths and noses at the same time.

"Something must have happened here, let's not act rashly for now, wait for it to come." Then he said to Shangguan Jin with a frown.

"Okay, you go and invite him over as soon as possible, and I'll go and see it first."

Xia Hou nodded, and then motioned to his subordinates to go to Donglin Pavilion first.

Shangguan Jin covered his mouth and nose and walked in, carefully observing the room.

"Your Highness, I always feel that this room is familiar." Xia Hou undoubtedly whispered to Shangguan Jin.

Shangguan Jin also nodded and replied, "Didn't you find out?" It's pretty much the same as that Qiu'er's room, almost identical. ”

"It's exactly the same, where did the smell of blood come from, although this room has not been inhabited for some years, it is very clean!"

After listening to Xia Hou's words, Shangguan Jin paid more careful attention to the room, and suddenly turned his gaze to a landscape painting hanging on the wall.

Shangguan Jin walked up cautiously and carefully examined the painting.

"Xiahou come and see!" Shangguan Jin's voice suddenly became louder, and Xia Hou was called over.

"Bloodstains? Although it has been cleaned up, it can still be seen on this tree! Xia Hou looked at the blood stains attached to the branches of the landscape paintings, and said slightly.

"This matter must not be simple, let's go out first and wait until the servant comes, and then come to take a closer look with him."

Shangguan Jin nodded, and stood at the door with Xiahou waiting for the arrival of the workman.

Shangguan Jin and Xia Hou sat on chairs in a private room.

"Your Highness has made a new discovery!" The guard on the side walked in and said in a salute to the two of them.

The two looked at each other, looked at each other and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"Back to my lord, our people found out that there was a girl who saved a girl before Qiu'er died, the girl fled from Hanbu, and after arriving in Liancheng, she was already scarred and fainted on the side of the road, Qiu'er met her when she went out to buy rouge gouache, and took her back to the Qinglou, and after obtaining her mother's consent, she left the woman as a slave."

"And what happened after that?"

"Lord Hui, since Qiu'er died of illness a year ago, the woman was in the Qinglou, and she disappeared mysteriously, and our people also asked the mother of the Qinglou, saying that she didn't know, but the woman had disappeared without a trace on the second day."

"How can a big living person say that he can't see it? Examine! As Qiu'er's slave, she must know something, she may be a major breakthrough in our incident! Shangguan Jin slapped his hand on the table and said coldly to the guards on the side.

"Yes, my subordinates will go."

Seeing the guards in the distance, Shangguan Jin and Xia Hou couldn't help frowning, this time the matter was far more serious than they thought.

"Your Highness, what should be done about this now?" Xia Hou ran out of ideas for a while, and asked Shangguan Jin.

"This matter must not be rushed, we have to take our time, but the process must not be too slow, after all, the father's side ........." Shangguan Jin said and shook his head, his brows furrowed tightly, looking at the tea on the table.

Shangguan Jin poured a cup of tea for the two of them, which slowly spread in their mouths, bursting bitter.
