Several villagers who were waiting outside hurriedly withdrew their gaze from the two and asked anxiously, "But what happened?" ”

One of them, a young man, broke into the cave without thinking about it, because he was worried about his eldest brother who had entered the cave.

After a while, he stumbled out, crouched on the ground and vomited.

Zhen Bei went in in the end, and for the next three days, her stomach was in a state of overwhelming mountains, and she wanted to vomit when she drank saliva, until she arrived in Chengyang City, and she gradually returned to normal.

When Zhenbei and his party came to Chengyang City, the little maid sent by Baihualou to greet them had been waiting in front of the city gate for three days.

Since then, the emperor has received news that the emperor has sent the famous Lord Qin here to investigate the case, and this little guy has been waiting in front of the city gate day and night.

He would rather lean on the city gate and chat with the soldiers defending the city and sleep on the ground than stay in Baihualou and spend his days and nights in fear.

Baihualou covers an area of nearly 100 acres, and there are many places for guests to play around the world-famous pavilion.

The arrival of Zhenbei brought a glimmer of hope to Baihualou, which was like falling into a lifeless twilight year.

The current owner of Baihualou, Yue Rushuang, was the previous leader of the martial arts alliance, and he lost to the ruthless son in the new round of decisive battles two years ago, so he had to give the throne of the alliance leader to others and concentrate on running the ancestral old business.

Zhen Bei once heard her mother mention the moon like frost, and knew that he was a lover of personality, like most high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, who loved wine like life and was obsessed with martial arts!

At this time, Yue Rushuang was in his thirties, he was dressed in a white robe, green silk was tied behind him at will, and a sword hung from his waist.

He is a prodigal knight, and naturally the unique iron-blooded tenderness of heroes is indispensable, seeing the girls in the building, one by one under his nose, he is more sad and indignant than anyone else!

"Boss Yue, can you take us to the side room where the accident happened?" Qin Wuchen didn't care about taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, so he said hurriedly.

"Please call the son of the next moon, or just like frost!" Yue Rushuang doesn't like people to call him the boss, as if this copper-smelling title will damage the pride on his body.

He thought of the girls who died unexpectedly, shook his head, swallowed back some of the words that came to his lips, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Lord Qin, go this way!" ”

The four girls who were killed lived in different floors, and they had no intersection with each other, and the murderer seemed to pick his target very randomly.

The layout of the wing rooms here is similar, both divided into two rooms, the inner and the outer one, where a soft couch is placed, and the woman uses makeup to freshen up.

Tables and chairs covered with brocade cloth were placed in the outer room, and an inconspicuous bench was placed in the corner for the maids of the night watch to rest.

In the room of the third girl who was killed, a few lines of blood were written crookedly: Kill one person in ten days, kill ten people, and vent the hatred in my heart!

Zhen Bei frowned and pondered these blood words for a long time, stood up, and walked to the window.

The whole building is wrapped in a large circle, and each side room here has a window inside and outside, the inner room window faces the outside of the building, and the outer room window opens to the inner corridor.

In other words, the murderer can not only blend into the crowd and turn into the interior from the window of the outer room to commit the crime, but also directly enter from outside the attic through the window of the inner room!

Yue Rushuang looked at the pock-faced guard who was sitting at the table drinking tea with a natural expression, and then looked at the two who were busy walking around, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Nangong Heze's eyes were glued to Zhenbei's body, and as she moved, he turned his eyes and moved his gaze.

Qin Wuchen was inspecting the bottom of the couch and the roof, the floor was covered with smooth subway pear wood, and there was no sign of being pried up.

Having ruled out the possibility of entering from the upstairs and downstairs wings, he also set his eyes on the two windows.

At this time, there are still three days left before the murderer threatens to kill the next person, and if the murderer's method of sneaking into the room cannot be found, I am afraid that it will be difficult to prevent it from happening.

"Brother Gu, how's it going?" Qin Wuchen asked in a low voice.

Zhenbei shook her head at him slightly.

"Yue Gongzi, can you let the four surviving maids come over for a while, there are some things I want to confirm again!" Qin Wuchen was like frost to the moon, and said.

"Yes, yes!" Yue Rushuang hurriedly said.

He instructed the entourage guarding the door, and after a while, four little maids dressed in plain clothes walked in.

Qin Wuchen asked their names one by one, and learned that from the first victim to the fourth victim, their personal maids were Xiao Peach, Apricot, Lychee and Winter Plum!

Because the four girls who had the accident were all Qingling'er, they didn't need to accompany the guests, so when the crime occurred, they were all personal maids who witnessed the first scene.

Xiao Tao said: "On the night of Miss's murder, the slave maid went to Miss to prepare for supper, and after about half an hour, she returned to the house, and the lights were already out!" The slave thought that the young lady could not wait, and had fallen asleep first, and the lamp was blown out by the wind blowing in from the window, so she did not pay attention to it.

The slave was about to touch the flint and steel and light the lamp again, but she felt the pain coming from her stamina and lost consciousness. When I woke up again, it was already dawn, and when the slave and maid opened their eyes, they saw that the house was turned over in a mess, and the young lady fell to the ground and died! ”

Xing'er said: "That night, Miss sent me to Miss Feng'er on the second floor to draw a few tricks for her. When I came back, the young lady had washed her makeup and lay down on the couch, she didn't look very good-looking at that time, because the young lady had been angry for some reason lately, and the slave didn't dare to ask more.

That night, the slave and maid slept even heavier, and in their sleep they seemed to smell a fragrance that was vague. When I woke up the next day, I found that something had happened! ”

Lychee said: "On the night of the accident, the young lady was a little restless, and ordered me to close all the doors and windows carefully, and then went to bed early. The slave and maid had to do some work, so they went to bed a little late. Like an apricot, there seems to be a fragrance coming from the haze, and when I wake up, I find that Miss has been killed! ”

Dongmei said: "Because so many people died one after another, everyone was scared, and they didn't dare to take over the business at night." Feng's mother asked everyone to bring their valuables and gather them in the performance hall downstairs, so as not to bring them alone in the room to avoid accidents. The slave and the young lady also went downstairs with them.

Later, the young lady suddenly said that there was another important thing missing. Seeing that it was not yet completely dark, we hurried back to the room to fetch it, and the young lady asked the slave and maid to wait in the outer room, and went into the inner room by herself. After a while, the slave and maid only felt a pain in their stamina, and when they woke up again, it was already dawn. The door was closed, the room was in chaos, the slave and maid hurried into the inner room, and sure enough, the young lady had been killed! ”

Qin Wuchen asked the four little maids a few more questions, and then asked them to retreat.

At this time, a woman dressed in a gorgeous dress and heavy makeup walked in and smiled at Yue Rushuang: "Childe, the luncheon has been prepared, you can invite the distinguished guests to move!" ”

"Mama Feng, I'm tired!" Yue Rushuang said to her.

Feng Ma is an old man who is waiting for Yue Rushuang's mother, when Yue Rushuang's father was killed, and his mother, Mrs. Yue, also died of illness a few years later, fortunately, Feng Ma is here to take care of it, Yue Rushuang can survive that time, and have the opportunity to live a few years of easy life wandering the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, Yue Rushuang respected her very much and never reprimanded her as a subordinate.

When Lin Yunyin's mother-in-law Luo Yihan was here, this Feng's mother had already come here, but Luo Yihan, who was an Oiran at the time, and Feng's mother, who was still a lady's maid, did not have much intersection, so Yunyin did not hear her mother specifically mention this person.

The table is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but everyone has something to do in their hearts, and they rarely have an appetite to eat.

The few jars of good wine that Yue Rushuang ordered people to take were blocked back by Qin Wuchen.

"Young Master Yue, when the case is over, we won't get drunk anymore!"

Although the moon is like frost in the past, there is no wine and no joy, but it is also light and heavy.

Feng Ma came over with a jar of fruit brew and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let's drink a few fruit brews instead!" ”

After lunch, Zhenbei only felt full of wine and food, and the fatigue caused by the fatigue of several days of running and traveling came up in an instant, and she could sleep for a few days and nights when she closed her eyes.

She twisted her thighs vigorously to let the sleepiness dissipate somewhat.

Qin Wuchen, who was sitting next to him, tilted his head and fell asleep directly on the seat.

On the other side, Nangong He, who was drinking spirits slowly, was still in good spirits.

"In this fruit brew, someone put something in it." Nangong He said with a smile, "It seems that some people don't want to, Lord Qin is involved!" ”

Yue Rushuang was shocked when he heard this, he ordered someone to check the jar of fruit brew, and sure enough, he found ** inside.

Feng Ma was surprised: "This jar of fruit brew was just taken out of the wine cellar, and the seal was only opened here, how could it be tampered with?" ”

Zhen Bei endured the sleepiness, pointed to the wine glass, and said, "The medicine is smeared on the mouth of the cup!" ”

Her body may have taken too many pills, wine and some ordinary medicines since she was a child, and the impact on her was much lighter than that of ordinary people, which is why she didn't fall asleep directly like Qin Wuchen.

As for Nangong He, everyone was relieved when they remembered that he commanded his subordinates, in front of him, regardless of the master's iron-black face, and soaked and cleaned the wine cup and even the plate with fine wine repeatedly.

Don't say it's **, it's just that it's coated with poison, and after this operation, I'm afraid it's also clean!

"Is there any way to wake up Lord Qin?" Yue Rushuang asked the pharmacist under her command and said.

"Hui Gongzi, the name of this medicine is 'three days down', it can make people sleep for three days and three nights, ready to say, it is not poison, so there is no way to crack it!" The mother-in-law who tested for drugs said.

"How's that okay?" Yue Rushuang said anxiously, "When Lord Qin wakes up again, it will be the day when the next murder happens, so won't you just be able to watch the murder happen?" Oops, I was negligent, I didn't expect the other party to be drugged under Lao Tzu's nose! ”

The sleepiness on Zhen Bei's body dissipated a little, she reluctantly stood up, and said, "Young Master Yue, although I don't have the same investigative ability as Lord Qin, in the past three days, I am willing to replace Lord Qin and go all out to investigate this case!" ”
