After Li Yao settled Xiao Ning, she went to find Lin Zichuan, she was very worried about the safety of Baozhu.

Lin Zichuan replied: "We will find out about this matter, you can go back and wait for news." ”

Hu Muran walked in suddenly, his attitude towards her has never been very kind, he said: "The police are handling the case, what are you making a fuss about, this case has been handed over to me to be responsible, what is there to go back and wait for the notice!" ”

When Li Yao heard that such an important case was handed over to a gangster, she was a hundred worried, and couldn't help but say: "How can this case be handed over to him, how can he get people back with his attitude?" ”

Hu Muran clasped his hands to his chest, listening to her tone, if it weren't for Lin Zichuan's presence, he couldn't help but blast her out, originally this matter had nothing to do with her, she came to point fingers, it was no longer in accordance with the rules.

He didn't expect Lin Zichuan to put Li Yao into his office, he was quite dissatisfied, and said: "You are questioning my ability to handle cases, be careful that I arrested you on the charge of obstructing official business!" ”

Li Yao really didn't believe in his ability to handle cases, after all, he hadn't handled any cases.

Lin Zichuan was a little annoyed by their quarrel, and he comforted Li Yao and said, "Don't worry, I will also participate."

Although she was worried, with Lin Zichuan personally investigating the case, she should be able to retrieve the jewel soon, so she went back to school as usual.

After school, I met Hu Huilan, who came to pick up people, Miss Huilan's straight hair became curly at some point, and she pinned a hairpin with diamonds on her sideburns, her complexion was obviously better than the first time she met, and she was wearing the blue cheongsam she saw in Boss Su's store last time, which was bright and moving, like an actress who came out of a movie poster.

When she saw Li Yao, she beckoned happily, Taotao was picked up by the housekeeper, and she followed Miss Huilan to find a place to drink tea.

Li Yao thought that Huilan's younger brother was working on Baozhu's case, and she thought that she might be able to ask something from Miss Huilan's mouth, so she said, "Baozhu, just go back to the girl in prison, do you know that she is missing?" ”

Huilan nodded: "Listening to my brother mention it, it's really a hard-working child." ”

"This case is now under investigation by Hu Muran, has he ever mentioned the progress of this case to you?"

Hu Huilan shook her head: "My brother rarely tells me about his work, but I also accidentally heard that the girl may have been sold to the Flower Pavilion." ”

"What kind of place is Blossom Pavilion?" Li Yao asked.

Hu Huilan seemed a little embarrassed to speak, and replied: "It's a brothel." ”

When Li Yao heard this, she was immediately anxious, what kind of place is the brothel, it is a tiger and wolf's den, the treasure bead is still small, if you really go to that kind of place, you can't shed your skin!

Huilan looked at her anxious look, and simply told her everything she knew, and comforted her by the way.

"But don't worry, the orb hasn't been sent in yet, she should be locked up elsewhere now, and I'm sure they'll find her whereabouts soon!"

Having said that, Li Yao was still very anxious in her heart, she didn't dare to go to that kind of place as a girl, and she was a little uncomfortable.

Hu Muran and Lin Zichuan went to check the person through the signature and seal on the deed of sale, but found that the name and seal were fake, and the person could not find it, and the case became more and more strange, so they had to start from the Flower Pavilion first.

Huajian Pavilion is different from the general brothel, belongs to the high-class brothel, people say that it is a comfortable nest, it is said that you can eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas from all over the world, you can launder money, mahjong and even smoke opium, but because of the smoking ban, now smoking opium is rare on the surface.

The service inside can also be described as meticulous, prostitutes but anyone who has a few small money in their pockets, the bustard's mother will be warmly entertained, someone adds clothes when it is cold, someone hammers his shoulders and pinches his legs when he is tired, and someone sends food and wine to his mouth.

Most of the girls in the Flower Pavilion are lovely-looking, and desperate women, and the general posture is not able to enter, so there is an identity and status, and most of the rich masters will choose to come to the Flower Pavilion, and the business here is not good in the morning or evening.

The Flower Pavilion is mainly composed of the owner, the flower lady and the servant, and the general brothels call the owner the bustard, but here it is different, not only the name of the Flower Pavilion sounds elegant, but the bustard mother also changed its name, and the girls all call her the master.

The owner of the courtyard was also born as a flower girl earlier, and now she is a half-old, but she is proficient in the way of management and understands the preferences of men, and the flower girl in it voluntarily obeys her orders and teachings.

The male maid is responsible for welcoming guests, making tea and sending towels, setting up banquets, if there are individual flower girls who are disobedient, they are also responsible for educating them, to put it bluntly, it is violent scolding, but, the girls of the Flower Pavilion, they can not touch anything other than beating and scolding.

In addition to educating the flower girl,Sometimes you will meet some rude and unreasonable guests,So they also play the role of protecting the yard,Some of them are mostly related to the underworld,Flower Pavilion can be described as black and white,There is the support of the authorities,There is the protection of the gangster forces。

Newcomers usually have a slightly older woman with them, who teach them how to serve guests on a daily basis, or teach them some skills such as pipa, guzheng, small songs, etc., generally singing, and usually take care of their diet and daily life, grooming and dressing up for them.

The Flower Pavilion is said to be the flower girl inside, who only sells her art and does not sell herself, but if the guests give more money, they can actually stay overnight.

Regulars generally fix the name of a flower girl to accompany the tea chat, the flower girl will play the piano, sing and sing, chat happily when the guest will put a dollar of tea into the fruit plate, so many times around the tea, if the flower girl is satisfied with the guest and even will take the initiative to let it stay overnight.

Lin Zichuan is the first time to go to this kind of place, he is handsome, and his bearing is extraordinary, he is born to like girls, and Hu Muran's appearance is not bad, the two of them look like sons, and they are targeted by the courtyard master as soon as they enter the door.

Looking at the faces, the owner of the courtyard knew that they were coming for the first time, and he thought that he was not bad at the money, so he immediately beckoned the two girls to come over to accompany him.

Hu Muran looked old and let the girl rub oil on him, but Lin Zichuan frowned from the door, and broke the hand that was sticking to his body like a tentacle, the third-class flower girl was a little puzzled, most of the people who entered the courtyard came to have fun, but he was disgusted with himself.

Lin Zichuan said to the flattering courtyard owner: "Is there a new girl?" ”

When the owner of the courtyard heard this, there were guests who asked for a new girl every day, but the price of this newcomer was usually very expensive, but these two guests could not become the gold owner of the girl, so he smiled and said, "Yes, yes." With that, the servant in the back called out a few new girls.

The new flower girl was still a little shy, but she still maintained a smiling face, Lin Zichuan looked over one by one, but did not see the jewel.

The owner felt that these two guests were very picky, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he only found someone to accompany him first, and he went to greet other guests.

The flower pavilion is full of lights, the guests are full, the garden has a total of three floors, the second floor and the third floor are private rooms, the second-class flower lady usually lives upstairs, there is a river behind the flower pavilion, there is a boat floating in the river, at night, it is also a lantern, the boat shuttles in the river, the guests inside listen to the song, drink wine, enjoy the scenery, and the beauty around is very comfortable.

They paid the money and followed the second-class flower girl upstairs to listen to the music.

The one who sang the song to them was an old man who had been here for three years, and his appearance was already superior, wearing a cheongsam embroidered with a large peony, the hem was almost open to the root of the thighs, his hair was tied behind his head with a hairpin, the pendant jingled, and his face was coated with rouge gouache, which looked excellent, but the taste of fat powder was a little strong, and his lips were red as if he was going to drip blood.

Because this case is special, it was not reported to Hu Haoping, it was an unannounced visit, Lin Zichuan was a little embarrassed at first, after all, it was a place in Fengyue, and it was seriously deviated from his tutor, and if he met any acquaintances, he would be a little embarrassed.

The money was given by Hu Muran on his own initiative, and he was happy, this place was indeed a paradise on earth in addition to burning money, but Lin Zichuan looked fierce and vicious, and the flower girl did not dare to serve, so she simply gathered around Hu Muran.

One is served with vegetables and the other is served with grapes.

Lin Zichuan looked at him with a happy look, a little angry, and gave him a blank look, of course Hu Muran knew that there was something serious to do, and he was different from Lin Zichuan in the way he interrogated prisoners.

He asked the flower girl who sang the song in a homely tone: "How long have you been here?" ”

"It's been three years." Her voice was soft and bone-chilling.

"What's new lately?"

The girl was a little puzzled, they were usually keen to attract customers, and most of the new things were heard from the mouths of the guests, and Hu Muran asked: "Where are you girls from?" ”

"Southern, northern, everywhere."

"Is there a new girl named Baozhu recently?"

When the girl heard this, she thought that he was coming for the sake of her old friend, and smiled with a veil: "The girls who come here will have their own flower names, even if she used to be called Baozhu, it is time to change her name now." And the girls who have come recently are all from the north, so you are not from the north, sir. ”

Hu Muran changed his questioning method again, deliberately lowered his voice, and asked, "Do you have any girls who are sold here?" ”

The flower girl's face changed, and she said, "Don't dare, don't dare, we are legally operating here, but it's not easy to say about other gardens." ”

I asked some more things, there were no flaws, and I didn't find anything suspicious in the Flower Pavilion, the two left after eating, if it was an ordinary human trafficking, it would be fine, but Lin Zichuan always felt that things were not so simple, and the two went to the prison to ask the couple repeatedly, they were simple-minded, and they couldn't ask any useful information at all.

"What do you suspect?" Hu Muran asked.

He said: "On the surface, the Flower Pavilion is a place for brothels to have fun, but you don't think that the cleaner it is, the more abnormal it feels, before Zhang Jiutai's case, someone has seen him in and out of the Flower Pavilion, and the Flower Pavilion has an inexplicable relationship with the underworld, and there must be a lot of unsightly deeds behind them." ”

Hu Muran thought for a while and said, "Since we can't go in to check, then we will make a reason to check it openly!" ”
