Qu Youying returned to her yard and saw that Yun Shu was ordering someone to carry a lot of boxes and put them in her house.

Seeing her come back, Yun Shu's face, which had been gloomy for a day, finally cleared.

"Yun Shu, who sent this? Why so many things? ”

Qu Youying looked at those large and small boxes, which were almost piled up on her entire table.

"It's Su Gongzi!"

"Which Su Gongzi?"

"It's Su Tong Su Gongzi, the master's friend."

"Oh!" Qu Youying only then reacted to who she was referring to, and felt even more inexplicable, "What did he do with me in a good way?" Nothing to do. ”

"Nonsense." Yun Shu pouted, took out a box of plasters from a brocade box, handed it to Qu Youying, and said, "This is specially given to you by Su Gongzi to treat the wound on your neck, saying that it will not leave a scar after use." ”

Qu Youying's action of pouring water was slightly stagnant, and she frowned, "He told his father about my injury?" ”

"Not really." Yun Shu shook his head, "I said it to the slave alone." Miss, do you remember to apply it every day? ”

"Oh."

Qu Youying was perfunctory, she always felt that Su Tong was so good to her that she was fine, and she must be tired.

After taking a sip of tea and moistening her throat, she looked out and asked, "Has Xiaoshu come back?" ”

"Not yet!"

"Then I'll go to the study, and if he returns, call him to me."

"Yes."

Qu Youying walked to the study, it was already May, and the heat was getting heavier and heavier.

She has been afraid of heat since she was a child, so she doesn't go out much every summer.

This year is good, running out every day, tired and tired, so that she wants to sleep as soon as she is free now.

"I'm sleepy."

She yawned with her hand over her mouth, and the bracelet on her wrist slid down against the top layer of her skin as her arm was raised.

In an instant, a trace of chill penetrated her skin, which made her feel uplifted, and she was a lot more sober.

Looking at the bracelet on her arm, Qu Youying raised her eyebrows and smiled.

This bracelet, I don't know what material it is, warm in winter and cool in summer, is a gift from Mu Jingzhu when she was in time.

He will give a lot of things every year, but she loves this one alone, and like an heirloom, the treasure is amazing.

"Fortunately, with you, it's cool, and people are much more comfortable."

She stretched, pushed open the door to her study, and stepped inside.

I wanted to take this opportunity to think about this case, but I found a letter in the center of the desk.

There is no signature, and it is a very ordinary envelope.

But in Qu Fuzhong, if there is a letter from her, Yun Shu will personally deliver it to her.

Even if she wasn't there, she would have been in her bedroom, not here.

So she immediately called Yun Shu, "Who sent this letter?" ”

Yun Shu was also inexplicable, shook his head and said, "I don't know!" When I came in to clean this morning, I didn't even see it! ”

"Then who else has entered the study today besides you?"

"Nope. Miss's study is always locked, and outsiders can't enter. ”

"Who could that be?"

Qu Youying stared at the envelope, and waves of curiosity welled up in her heart.

In the end, she waved her hand and let Yun Shu go down before opening the envelope.

There was no long speech on it, only one sentence was written - tonight, Zhang's shop.

The handwriting on it is strong and powerful, and at the end of the last word, the stroke falls very heavily, which is the habit of writing by Mu Jing Candle.

"Hey, looks like there's going to be a good show tonight."

She put the letter in her bosom and generously went to make up for sleep.

By the time I woke up, it was already dark.

Yun Shu asked her dinner, and while eating, Xiaoshu also came back and told him what he had investigated.

Qu Youying listened quietly, and when the time was almost up, she changed into men's clothes and walked to Zhang's shop alone.

Since the murder case occurred there and the shopkeeper Zhang died, no one has taken over.

Zhang's family members have passed away, and other relatives have long since stopped contacting, so everything after death is handled by the yamen.

Now, such a big shop is abandoned there, and it's a pity to look at it.

Qu Youying walked here by moonlight, and there was silence all around, and there was no one.

She looked left and right, and there was a big lock on the door, but there was no figure of Mu Jingzhu.

"Strange, it's already time, where is Jing Candle?"

She listened to the door again, but heard nothing.

"Nothing is going to happen, is it?"

She was a little worried, because Mu Jingzhu was a punctual person.

At the moment, there was no one in sight, and her first instinct was that there was a moth.

She was a little anxious and wanted to look for someone, but she accidentally noticed that something was wrong with the door lock.

"Hey, the lock has been picked?"

When the people from the Yamen locked it, she was watching from the side, so it was clear that the lock was new.

But now there are obvious traces of the lock being picked, which means that in the past few days after the death of the shopkeeper Zhang, someone has secretly entered Zhang's shop.

This also made Qu Youying more convinced that Mu Jingzhu had an important matter to ask her here tonight.

So she pulled off the hairpin on top of her head, intending to unlock it and go in and have a look.

The hairpin she wears today is relatively thin, similar to a key, and with her lock-picking skills, it is not difficult.

At this moment, a hand quietly reached out behind her and covered her mouth!

She was instantly shocked and sweated all over, and the hairpin was held between her hands, and she stabbed at the person behind her mercilessly!
