CHAPTER XXI

"Do all the people in your villa tune this way?" Zhou Zhi saw Ji Lan for the first time that day, thinking that this similar temperament was a coincidence, but now that he knew the relationship between the two, he couldn't help but be curious.

Xie Jianmian didn't know what was going on behind him, and looked up suspiciously: "Huh? What do you mean? ”

"It's okay, just ask."

This matter is really difficult to explain, Zhou is poor in words, and it is better to decide to be vague in the past.

Xie Jianmian: "......"

It's boring!

Ji Lan is worthy of being a person from Liuyun Villa, and her work efficiency is extremely high, but she has explored several Fengyue places in Jinzhou in one day, and she has not even let go of the surrounding dance studios.

"I have people I know in many places, and after inquiring this day, I didn't find any new girls from unknown families." Ji Lan stood under the magnolia tree in front of the door of the class room and spoke lightly.

"Unknown?"

"Yes." Ji Lan nodded, "Several prostitutes and new girls were all sold by their families, and there is no possibility of being abducted. ”

Zhou Zhi: "Not one? ”

Ji Lan's expression seemed to be a little displeased, but the girl's expression was indifferent, and it was really not obvious: "No." ”

"That's weird." Zhou Zhi muttered, "Could it be that we are going in the wrong direction?" ”

"But there's one more discovery." Ji Lan continued, "It's a bad thing, these prostitutes have lost people. ”

Xie Jianmian: "There are also women missing among the prostitutes? ”

"Yes. There were four people I asked. ”

This is troublesome, a case of disappearance has not been solved, how can it involve more, and there are four people, and all of them are from Fengyue, whether there is a connection is still unknown.

Xie Jianmian then asked, "But why hasn't anyone reported to the government in the palace?" So many people are gone, and no one is looking for them? ”

Xie Gongzi seems to be playing the world, but his actual experience is pitiful, and he doesn't even know what the prostitute looks like, let alone the twists and turns inside. What kind of place is a prostitute, this kind of skin and meat business that eats people and does not spit out bones will inevitably have some high-money customers, many of whom have special habits, these people do not know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and the people who are disguised on weekdays look like people, and once the door is closed, they will appear in their original form.

The injury is still light, and it is not uncommon for me to die in bed after playing too much.

Those girls who died silently in vain, who would have the kindness to make decisions for them?

Therefore, even if someone is missing, who dares to report to the official, and if he can't be involved in any of the unprovoked people, then the business will not be able to be done from now on.

Zhou Zhi didn't know how to explain to Gongzi Xie, thinking that Ji Lan might have more appropriate words, but he didn't think that this girl still looked down on the world, and glanced at her coldly, with a stinging little cold wind.

Lord Kuai didn't have a helper, so he had to take on the responsibility of teaching and educating people himself: "You, don't keep stealing things, do something useful." Do you know who the big customers are there? ”

Xie Jianmian shook his head, looking ignorant.

"Rich or rich. These people are angry on weekdays, and they can only take some little girls with no background to vent their anger, and if they don't pay attention to the fire, they are easy to make a fuss, and those people have seen a lot of this kind of thing, and no one cares about it without one or two girls for no reason. “

Zhou Zhi tried his best to speak subtly, and he didn't know if Xie Jianmian understood, anyway, he nodded thoughtfully, Zhou Zhizheng breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Miss Xi Lan glancing at her coldly, Zhou Zhi inexplicably felt that he understood the meaning of this glance, is this blaming him for teaching Xie Gongzi badly?

Zhou Zhutou was wronged, and the great responsibility fell to him, how dare he shirk.

"Boss, what are you talking about?" Xu is door to the class room was too lively, Qi Fei heard the movement and poked his head out from inside, "This is, hey...... Miss Hi Lan! ”

The big guy jumped out of the class room excitedly, and his movements were too fierce to pay attention to the threshold under his feet, and he almost gave a five-body gift.

Zhou Zhi: "......"

The face of the government has been disgraced!

Qi Fei was unaware of the killing intent coming from beside him, and his eyes stared at Xi Lan without blinking: "Boss, do you know?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Zhi looked at Xie Jianmian, "Thank you for the blessing of Gongzi." ”

"Xiao Xie?" Qi Fei touched his head inexplicably, "What's going on?" ”

Xie Jianmian then told Qi Fei about his relationship with Xi Lan and the investigation, Qi Fei suddenly realized, and later discovered the true identity of "Xiao Xie", and I don't know if this guy is too strong in tolerance or simple-hearted, he didn't have any special feelings about this, and only complained off the point, "Why don't you take me with you when you go to find Miss Xilan."

Qi Fei pulled Xie Jianmian and talked warmly, ignoring the two big people next to him, Ji Lan didn't have any opinions, she still looked indifferent, and didn't care if the topic was on her. Zhou Zhi was different, he glanced at Xie Jianmian from time to time, he didn't know how many things these two people could say, and they didn't even give him a look, Zhou Zhutou, who was snubbed for no reason, was very dissatisfied, and forced the conversation in.

"Hey, hey! You two, talking about business, what are you muttering secretly? ”

Before the person who was not doing his job could repent, Ji Lan opened his mouth first: "That's the general situation, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”

Before Zhou Zhi could say the word "good", Qi Fei exclaimed: "Hey, this is leaving?" I'll send you, Miss Xilan! ”

"What send!" Zhou Zhi slapped Qi Fei on the head, and turned to smile at Xi Lan in a friendly manner, "Miss Xi Lan, we still have a case to handle, so we won't send you away, don't be surprised." ”

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she returned a perfunctory smile, nodded at Xie Jianmian, and cast a meaningful look, and then left.

Qi Fei looked at the back of the family, and pulled Xie Jianmian's sleeve while watching: "Xiao Xie, remember to bring me next time you go to find Miss Xilan, and say two more good words for me, my brother will invite you to ......drink next time."

"Brother, what brother!" Zhou Zhi dragged the innocent-looking Xie Jianmian out of Qi Fei's clutches, and protected him behind him like a hen protecting her cubs, "Just know how to drink and work!" ”

Xie Jianmian was blocked behind Zhou Zhi, and helplessly spread his hands at Qi Fei, saying that he couldn't help.

Qi Fei: "Boss, what are you doing?" ”

Zhou Zhi sighed, remembering Fang Cailan's words, he became solemn for no reason: "You go to the painter to draw the portraits of the four missing women, and post them in the notice together with the previous girl." ”

Qi Fei saw Ji Lan, who was thinking about it for a long time, and received the task of highlighting the value, he was in a very happy mood, and he was very motivated to do things.

Looking at Qi Fei's back as he left without any worries, Zhou Zhi's expression became more and more solemn.

Xie Jianmian stepped forward, smoothed out the ripped sleeves of his shirt, and also suppressed Fang Cai's playful look, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Do you think this matter is not so simple?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Zhi didn't move, his eyes locked on the void, and continued, "I always feel a little strange, but I don't know what the problem is. ”

A gust of wind blew, and the already withered magnolia fell down the few remaining yellow flowers, spun and flew for a while, and then planted headlong on the cold ground, and a servant hurried by, trampling the yellow and white flowers into scattered mud.

Flowers bloom and grow, and they are born to grow, and they can't help themselves.

The portraits of the five missing women were posted for a day, and at the same time, the government officials searched the whole city for a day, but not only did they find no similar figures, but they did not even have the slightest useful information.

But to everyone's surprise, the next morning, the old man who reported to the official appeared again. The old man trembled and walked straight towards the mansion, and was led into the class room by the official on duty at the door, bringing even more unexpected news.

"I'm causing trouble for all of you." The old man looked very excited, "My daughter is back!" ”

Zhou Zhi was making tea at the table, and Gongzi Xie was very picky and refused to drink dry white water, so the headcatcher had to serve him personally.

Hearing this, he put down the tea set in his hand, looked up and said in surprise: "Back?" ”

"Yes, my daughter said that she accidentally got lost on the way back from the Guanyin Temple and sprained her foot, but fortunately she was rescued by a barefoot Langzhong and was able to return home. It's okay, otherwise what would I do! ”

It's good news, but in this situation, this good news sounds so weird. After a series of missing women were involved, the "initiator" came back unscathed, without these consequences, everyone would be happy just looking at the antecedents, but in the face of the other four lives of unknown lives, how ironic this thing sounds.

Just a pure coincidence? Zhou Zhi had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to get to the bottom of it, wondering if he was thinking too much. He got up and sent the old man away, and went into the back room with the freshly brewed tea, wanting to tell Xie Jianmian about today's bizarre experience.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted the curtain hanging on the door, a sleeping face suddenly smashed into the bottom of his eyes.

There was still plenty of sunlight outside, shining directly through the open window, Xie Jianmian was lying on his side on the wooden table, half of his face was hidden in his sleeves, and the remaining half was exposed in the sun, and the neat contours of his side face were plated with a layer of soft trim, and even the fine fluff on the tip of his nose was clearly visible.

It's so beautiful that it's like a well-crafted dreamscape that no one wants to break in or break.

Zhou Zhi forgot the purpose of coming in, and even forgot to move, so he held a cup of tea that was still steaming, and was stunned in place for a long time.

In this moment of illusion, he had a strange thought, he wanted to touch that face, without force, he touched it gently, and felt whether it was warm or slightly cool.

Just when Zhou Zhi was about to turn his thoughts into practical actions, Xie Jianmian muttered something and slowly opened his eyes.

As if he hadn't woken up, his eyes were a little blurry, he rubbed the corners of his eyes vigorously, and when he just focused his eyes clearly on the uninvited guest at the door, there was a "snap", and the porcelain cup in the hand of the head catcher fell to the ground and shattered into slag.
