Chapter 64: Surfacing

"Left hand wounded?" Situ Yimo raised her eyebrows, her eyes were on Zhang Manlan's left arm, she remembered that when she met her yesterday, she was indeed the sugar gourd in her right hand.

But......

As soon as You Zhu heard Zhang Yuren mention her young lady's arm injury, she hurriedly added, "Yes, yes, my young lady's left hand was injured and fell from a tree, and the injury was serious, and she hasn't recovered yet!" You can't hold anything heavy!"

Situ Yimo actually didn't care if she had injuries on her hands, because she didn't believe that Zhang Manlan would be the murderer, but Zhang Manlan's appearance at the mouth of Lewei Alley must have some connection with the case.

And she smelled a familiar aroma in her, the same one she had smelled in the dead. So Zhang Manlan must have seen the murderer, but why did she go to see the murderer? What is her relationship with the murderer?

Suddenly, Situ Yimo was very curious about the reason why Zhang Manlan was reluctant to speak, and why she would shield the murderer.

"Miss Zhang, it's useless for you to remain silent." Situ Yimo remembered the Yu clan, looked at Zhang Manlan and said.

"I smell an aroma on you, which is the same as what I smell on the deceased, so, have you seen the deceased? Or is it you who is the murderer? ”

"No, no, no, our young lady is not a murderer!" You Zhu hurriedly denied it.

Zhang Yuren was shocked by Situ Yimo's words, he looked at her in surprise and asked, "Smell the fragrance on her?" ”

"Yes, I am very sensitive to aromas, and the fragrance on Miss Zhang's body is the fragrance I have been looking for."

"This ......"

"Manlan, you, you are really a murderer, you really killed ......" Master Zhang covered his heart, and was so frightened that he closed his breath.

Zhang Yuren hurriedly walked back and patted Master Zhang on the back to soothe him, he frowned and looked at Zhang Manlan, who was speechless, and thought about it.

"Do you know what you're doing right now? If you really have anything to do with the murderer, don't say it's you, even our Zhang family, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your aunt. ”

Zhang Manlan's body was stunned, her hands trembled unconsciously, she didn't dare to raise her head, she wanted to open her mouth to say something, but she was entangled, but her body couldn't help but tremble.

Situ Yimo was very puzzled when he saw this, could it be that Zhang Manlan really had anything to do with the murderer?

"County Lord! Someone got it!" Gan Tang hurried over at this moment and saluted Situ Yimo.

"Who's caught?" The Nirui County Lord and Shang Shuwei asked curiously.

Gan Tang saw Situ Yimo nodding, and then replied, "It's the boss of the rose garden." ”

"Rose Garden?"

Zhang Yuren frowned, very curious, "Is it the famous rose garden on South Street?" ”

"Yes!"

The county lord of Nirui was very puzzled, "Rose Garden? Anhe, why did you let Gan Tang catch the boss of the rose garden? ”

Situ Yimo saw that everyone was very curious, so she asked Xinglu to take out the rouge sent by the proprietress of the Yanhong Pavilion, she took the rouge and said, "This is the rouge sent by the proprietress of the Yanhong Pavilion, called Xingmeng, which was given by Miss Zhou, that is, the sister of the deceased Zhou Zhishan, and I heard that it is very famous in Min County." ”

Lord Nirui raised his eyebrows, "I've heard of this awakening dream, but what does this rouge have to do with our case?" ”

"That's right, this rouge, I don't think there's anything wrong." Shang Shuwei took the rouge in Situ Yimo's hand, sniffed it carefully, and found nothing special, but she believed that Situ Yimo would take it out, and it must have something to do with the case.

"Does the rouge made by Miss Zhou have anything to do with the rose garden?"

Situ Yimo nodded, glanced at Zhang Manlan, who had a bad face, she paused, looked at Zhang Yuren and asked, "I don't know if you know the Huan clan?" ”

"The Clan?"

The Nirui County Lord and Shang Shuwei glanced at each other, their faces confused. Zhang Yuren nodded in surprise, "I've heard that there are a lot of exotic flowers and plants in the Zhai Clan. It's just that this rouge or rose garden, what does it have to do with the Rouge tribe? ”

Situ Yimo motioned to Gan Tang to bring the red roses she brought back from the rose garden, and the lord of Nirui was amazed when she saw the brilliant red flowers, it was the first time she had seen such a beautiful red rose.

Shang Shuwei walked over and smelled it curiously, and sniffed the rouge in her hand very seriously, and her eyes lit up, "This box of rouge has the fragrance of red roses." ”

"Not bad."

Situ Yimo saw that everyone was carefully smelling the red rose and rouge, and understood the connection between the two, so she said bluntly, "Today I accidentally discovered that there is a flower in the Zodiac tribe, named Sigui, which is very similar to roses, but not roses, and its fragrance is lighter than roses, which lasts for a long time. There are a variety of medicinal effects, including beauty and moisturizing the skin, and the women of the Tsui tribe mostly use it to wash their faces and hands. ”

"At that time, I thought of the waking dream made by Miss Zhou, so I specially asked Xinglu to ask her if there were similar roses in the formula, and I heard her say that one of the recipes of rouge did have roses, and she bought it from the rose garden."

"So, you let Gan Tang take people to the rose garden to arrest people?" The county lord of Nirui understood at this moment, and immediately she admired Situ Yimo very much, "But the corpse has been left for so many days, and you can still smell the aroma of Sigui." ”

"This is thanks to Sigui's long-lasting fragrance. Moreover, in addition to the aroma of homesickness on the deceased's body, there is another extremely faint aroma. ”

Situ Yimo saw that everyone understood, so he asked Gan Tang to bring the owner of the rose garden, only to see an old woman and a young man who were arrested and walked quickly, and after seeing their faces clearly, the lord of Nirui County and the monk Shuwei were stunned in place.

"Old woman? Hunter? ”

"How are you!"

Situ Yimo was also surprised when he heard the surprised shouts of the Nirui County Lord and Shang Shuwei, "They are the two who rescued you in the Ghost Forest?" ”

"yes!"

The county lord of Nirui still didn't come back to her senses in surprise, she was very surprised, "Don't you live in the mountains?" ”

"That's right! Why do you have anything to do with the rose garden? ”

Situ Yimo was stunned for a moment, although she didn't believe that an old man would kill someone, but smelling the aroma of the old woman, she also figured out her doubts.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't salute quickly!" Seeing that the two of them were motionless, he hurriedly scolded, but his voice was directed at the young man.

"The old woman participated in the Anhe County Lord, and I have met a few adults."

When the county lord heard the voice, she was very surprised, "Anhe, you shouldn't suspect that the old woman is the murderer, right?" ”

Situ Yimo didn't answer directly, but looked at Zhang Manlan, who had been silent, and said with a smile, "Miss Zhang, your silence no longer has any meaning, because I have already smelled the aroma I have been looking for in the old woman's body." ”

Zhang Manlan still didn't look up, but the old woman looked at Situ Yimo with a shocked expression, "Can you smell the fragrance on my body?" ”

"Exactly, the fragrance of your body comes from your hands, and from your face. It is also the aroma I smell on the dead. ”

Situ Yimo said a few words lightly, and then talked about another thing, "I heard that there are many exotic flowers and plants in the Zhai tribe, among which is the envy iris, which is a legendary flower that can make people rejuvenate, grinding it into powder and smearing it on the face can make people dozens of years younger in an instant." ”

Seeing the old woman's face change greatly, the Nirui County Lord was surprised, and she continued, "There are flowers and plants that make people rejuvenate, and maybe there are flowers that make people rejuvenate." I heard that there is also a kind of flower that can make people age dozens of years in an instant, and this flower is called Crazy Grass. ”

"Ahh And this flower!" The Neon Rui County Lord and Shang Shuwei were all shocked.

Zhang Yuren heard Situ Yimo's words, he stared at the old woman's face in surprise, and couldn't believe it, "What does the county lord of Anhe mean, the old woman in front of her, is she taking the disgusting herb?" Not really aging, but actually a young girl? ”

"Exactly!"

"Ahh

The neon lord monk Shuwei was shocked, "The old woman is not an old woman?" ”

"The aroma of iris is very similar to the aroma of the weed, but the effect is completely different.

Situ Yimo glanced at Zhang Manlan, who was pale, and then looked at the old woman, she put the rouge in front of her eyes and shook it, "You made this rouge, right?" Miss Zhou!"

The old woman looked at Situ Yimo with a shocked expression, and the middle-aged man standing next to her had a great change in face and his body was shaky.

"What!!"

"Miss Zhou!!"

The Nirui County Lord and Monk Shuwei were shocked again, and even Zhang Yuren was shocked, "She is Miss Zhou?" ”

Zhang Manlan finally raised her head, she looked at Situ Yimo with a solemn expression, and finally stopped her gaze on the old woman.

I saw her kneeling on the ground, tears stopped rolling in her eyes, she clasped her hands tightly together, and looked up at Situ Yimo, "How did the county lord of Anhe know that I was Zhou Gantong?" ”

"The scent of you."

"Scent?"

Situ Yimo replied, "I love perfume very much, and I often embroider some sachets to give to the people around me, and the fragrance of each sachet is different. Xinglu has seen Miss Zhou, Gan Tang went to catch you, but you have the fragrance of Xinglu sachets. ”

Zhou Gantong sniffed the aroma on his body carefully, but he didn't smell any unfamiliar fragrance, and suddenly looked at Situ Yimo with admiration, "I didn't smell any aroma." I killed with incense, but I was defeated by incense. ”

"She said that no one would smell the weed, but she didn't expect to meet Lord Anhe."

"She? Who is she referring to? ”

Zhou Gantong shook his head, looking loveless, "She helped me avenge my daughter, so that I am gracious, I will not betray her, An and the county lord, they were all killed by me, I confess my guilt." ”

The county lord of Nirui listened to the young voice, but looked at Zhou Gantong's seventy or eighty-year-old face, standing still in a daze, his head was confused, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

Situ Yimo cared very much about her in Zhou Gantong's mouth, "Okay, you don't want to say her name, but, can you tell me that she is from the Xujing clan?" ”

Zhou Gantong looked embarrassed and very entangled, but she looked at Situ Yimo's bright eyes, was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
