Today's weather is very clear, and the flowers and trees in the mountains are red and green, mixed with the sound of birds, and it looks vibrant. Zhang Yue, Yuan Mo, and Ji Rumo walked on the way down the mountain, but they had no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery.

"Huh? When you get to the county seat, what are you going to do? Yuan Mo asked.

"Of course, it's to find a way to catch the murderer and rescue the missing girl." Zhang Yue replied.

"Easy to say! In the past, the government couldn't find the murderer everywhere, so if it was so easy to find, your uncle would have caught the murderer a long time ago. ”

"Hmph, the mountain people have their own tricks!" Zhang Yue said confidently.

"Humph! What can you do about it? Yuan Mo's expression was extremely disdainful.

Looking at Yuan Mo's disdainful look, Zhang Yue was about to fight back a few words at him, but Rumo, who had been silent, spoke, "Xiao Wu, I'm also curious, do you have any way to find the murderer?" ”

"Hehe, the snake is cowering in the hole and won't come out, how can we catch it? Of course, you have to put a huge bait at the mouth of the hole, and the snake will poke its head out on its own. Zhang Yue's expression was unfathomable.

"Are you going to ......" Yuan Mo was shocked.

“...... Lure the snake out of the hole. Rumo raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, that's what I thought." Zhang Yue replied proudly.

"It works, but where can I find the bait?" Yuan Mo frowned.

"There's a way to try." Zhang Yue chuckled lightly and stopped talking.

Yuan Mo and Rumo looked at Zhang Yue suspiciously, but Zhang Yue smiled silently.

When they arrived in the county seat, Zhang Yue first led them into a big clothing store, bought a few gorgeous women's clothes in the season, and when they got out of the shop, she led them into a rouge shop, bought a large bag of rouge powder and other women's boudoir things, and bought some jewelry worn by ordinary women on the street. On the street, passers-by saw three big men taking a lot of women's things, and they all pointed at them frequently.

Yuan Mo didn't speak at first, but when he was talked about, he finally couldn't hold his breath.

"Zhang Xiaowu, what are you going to do? We two big men accompany you to buy these women's things? Like what words! ”

Zhang Yue ignored Yuan Mo, took the things he bought, and led the two of them to the Donglai Inn on the street of East Street, booked a room, and everyone sat down.

Yuan Mo said impatiently, "You can say it now, what do you want?" ”

Rumo also looked at Zhang Yue in puzzlement.

Zhang Yue said her thoughts unhurriedly,

"As I said just now, if you want to lure out the murderer, you have to set up a bait. According to the law of the murderer's crime before, the murderer will generally catch those young girls with raw faces, so the biggest bait is the girls who meet these two characteristics, and the girls are missing in the East Street area, indicating that the East Street area is the main scope of the murderer's hunting, as long as you find a young girl with a raw face as a bait, and move around the East Street, you will definitely be able to lure out the murderer and capture him. ”

"To put it mildly, where can I go to find a girl to do such a dangerous thing? Who's going to lend you a girl as bait? Yuan Mo questioned.

"Xiao Wu, what Yuan Gongzi said is very right, this bait may not be easy to find." Rumo also echoed.

"I've thought of this for a long time, so I bought women's clothes, rouge and jewelry, it doesn't matter if there is no girl, I'll just pretend."

"What?"

"What?!" Rumo and Yuan Mo said in unison.

Zhang Yue secretly thought, this Rumo didn't know that she was a daughter, Yuan Mo knew the truth, why was she so surprised, she ignored the surprise of the two, and continued.

"I bought a lot of rouge gouache on purpose, and from tomorrow, I will pretend to be a girl who sells rouge gouache. Selling in the area of East Street, there are not many people in the city who know me, and no one knows me when I dress up as a woman, which is also in line with the characteristics of the murderer who picks foreign faces. Besides, there are a few of us, I'm the shortest, and I'm the most suitable to dress up as a woman......"

"I don't agree." Yuan Mo was about to interrupt her.

"Why?" Zhang Yue was puzzled.

"Because... Because you're too ugly to attract a murderer! ”

"...... "Yuan Mo, your reason is really enough."

Zhang Yue looked at Rumo, hoping that this clever plan would be supported by Rumo. Unexpectedly, Rumo's expression was complicated, and he shook his head,

"Xiao Wu, this is too dangerous, if the murderer finds out, you will be very dangerous!"

Zhang Yue said anxiously, "No! I'm confident. You two go out first, I'll try it in a woman's clothes first. ”

The two wanted to say something, but Zhang Yue pushed and pulled them out of the room. After locking the door, she picked up a few women's clothes she had bought before, chose them, and finally picked out an apricot yellow jacket skirt.

She took off her men's clothes and changed into her apricot yellow skirt. Over the years, although Zhang Yue has always shown people in men's clothes, every time she goes back to her uncle's house, when there are no outsiders, she will still change into women's clothes, and her aunt will also prepare some girls' boudoir supplies for her, so Zhang Yue will still be able to dress up with simple makeup for girls.

She came to the mirror, combed a girl's more popular bun, and simply decorated some makeup, she in the mirror immediately became beautiful, she looked at herself in the mirror for a moment, a thought came to her heart, I don't know when I can recover my daughter's body and live a woman's life.

"Zhang Xiaowu, is there an end? So long! Yuan Mo's impatient urging outside interrupted her thoughts.

"Alright, come in." She turned and opened the door.

"So slow, you ....." Yuan Mo rushed into the room, muttering in his mouth. When he looked up, he stood there dumbfounded. Rumo followed Yuan Mo in, and was stunned when he saw her, there was a kind of shining jumping on his eyebrows, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a touch of apricot yellow appeared under his dark eyes.

Zhang Yue looked at the two of them who reacted like this, suddenly became unconfident, and asked carefully, "What's wrong?" Is it ugly? I just looked in the mirror and was okay! ”

Rumo smiled warmly, "It's beautiful." ”

Yuan Mo's cheeks on the other side turned a little red, and he rolled his eyes unnaturally, and said, "It's so-so." ”

Zhang Yue didn't expect this guy to say anything good.

"Little Five," Rumo called softly,

"Huh?"

"I'm really worried about you going to be the bait now." Rumo looked serious.

"It's okay, I've learned a few boxing techniques in the academy, and it's absolutely no problem to defend myself. After lunch, I took the box with rouge and went to the East Street area to sell it. You two hide and follow me secretly, and once the murderer appears, you can show up and arrest someone. Yuan Mo knows martial arts, arrest people and let him go, as long as you pay attention to protecting yourself. ”

"Cut!" Yuan Mo rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

Rumo's thin lips pursed lightly, put away his smile, and said very seriously, "Okay." However, Xiao Wu, you have to promise me that if you feel in danger, you will immediately give up the action. ”

"Okay." Zhang Yue agreed repeatedly.

The three of them agreed on some details of the action, and after lunch at the inn, Zhang Yue left the inn alone with a basket of rouge gouache and sold it along the east street. Rumo and Yuan Mo were secretly watching not far from her. Because of her fresh face, there were not many guests who came to her, and occasionally a few peasant women came up to ask for a few words and asked for the price. The afternoon passed quickly, and no suspicious person was found.

In the evening, Zhang Yue returned to the inn, according to the previous agreement, after she returned to the inn, she pretended not to know Rumo and Yuan Mo, had dinner alone, and went back to the room to rest early after removing her makeup.

Then for two consecutive days, Zhang Yue was selling on East Street, but there was no movement. In the evening of the third day, Zhang Yue sold goods along the street for three consecutive days, and he was really tired, so he planned to go back to the inn to rest earlier. At this time, an elderly woman, wearing a dark gray dress and a pair of small eyes on her round face, walked up to her, looked through the rouge in the basket, and said with a smile, "Yo, this girl is so delicate, I haven't seen you sell rouge here before?" ”

Zhang Yue hurriedly replied, "Auntie, I am not a local, I came to Zunhua last month, I wanted to go to my relatives, but I didn't expect that my relatives had moved to Henan with their whole family, so I went to Henan to find relatives in order to make up enough money for the journey, so I had to sell some small goods to make money." You pick the style you like, I'll give you a cheaper. ”

The woman smiled when she heard this, "Oh, that's good, I'll buy more, you can give me a cheaper!" ”

The woman quickly pulled the rouge and chose most of the basket of rouge gouache. She took out a silver ingot from her arms and handed it over, this ingot of silver far exceeded the value of rouge, Zhang Yue pretended to be very happy to take it.

The old woman's eyes rolled, "Yo, little girl, this thing is quite heavy, my wife is too old to hold it." Can you help me deliver the rouge gouache home, my house is not far away, just east of the city. ”

Zhang Yue immediately replied, "Okay, auntie, I'll send you home." After speaking, she bent down to pick up the basket, took the opportunity to arrange her clothes, and secretly sent a gesture to Yuan Mo and Rumo in the direction where they agreed to hook the fish, and was sure that they had received the signal, so they followed the woman.

The old woman chatted with Zhang Yue as she walked, "The little girl is beautiful and has a good heart, how old is she?" ”

"Not yet seventeen,"

"Oh, you're so young, have you promised your mother-in-law?"

Zhang Yue pretended to be shy, "Not yet." ”

This mother-in-law probed Zhang Yue's information along the way, Zhang Yue also made a false mistake with her, walked for less than half an hour, and the old woman took her into a narrow alley, the road in the alley is very narrow, there are many forks, and there are many turns, Zhang Yue has gradually lost her direction, and the old woman walks very steadily. Zhang Yue deliberately slowed down his pace and pretended to be physically exhausted.

"Girl, are you tired? Hold on a little longer, and you'll be there soon. Seeing this, the old woman said with concern.
