The distance between southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains is very far, and there are lofty mountains and mountains in between, and it is very inconvenient to travel between them.

It would take at least a year for such a caravan to go back and forth between southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains once and complete the trade.

And the flowering period of the mandala flower is from May to September, counting the time for raising flowers and raising Gu, then it can basically be inferred that the mandala flower used by the murderer was cultivated by the flower species brought back by the caravan in the past year.

As a result, the scope of the investigation is greatly narrowed.

As long as you find the caravan and find out to them where the flower seeds are sold, then the rich people who cultivate mandala flowers can basically be determined.

After determining the source of the mandala flower, it is much easier to find the mystic master related to it.

The current problem is, what means did the other party use to urge Gu poison to create illusions?

Cuiyulou's confession was sorted out early in Huailing County, and several people read it one by one, but they didn't find anything abnormal.

Several people summoned the girls in the building one by one, and they all said that there was no special movement on the day of the crime.

In order to stimulate the Gu poison and stimulate the illusion, it is necessary to use sound as the medium like Gu Ao. That person was in Dengyun Tower, how did he manage to put Xu Hao to death from such a distance?

Even if the sound could travel that far, how did he manage to keep no one from noticing the difference?

"After Xu Hao rested that day and at the time of the crime, did any of you enter that room?"

In the hall on the first floor of the Jade Building, Jiang Jiujiu asked his mother Qiuhong to gather all the girl servants, these people have reduced their symptoms a lot since they took the pill given by Jiang Jiujiu, and they are also sincerely grateful to several people at this time.

At this time, hearing Jiang Jiujiu ask this, everyone was a little confused, glanced at each other, and finally shook their heads suspiciously.

"Back to the master, it is true that no one has entered that room, in fact, after Xu Gongzi rested that day, I stayed in the room next to me for a night, and I didn't hear any special movement next door."

It was a delicate-looking girl who spoke, her face was paler than the others, and if she looked closely, her vitality fluctuated a little, which was frightened.

This woman is the first girl to find Xu Hao's body, named Yue'e.

The night before Xu Hao's death, he came to find her to get along.

Because Xu Hao had the closest relationship with her before her death, Yue'e became the number one suspect and was frightened a lot, if it weren't for Mo Daochang's hexagram and Daoyuantang's takeover of the case, Yue'e would not have regained her freedom so quickly.

Even so, she was frightened, and saw that her body was a little sicker than the others.

"Since no one has ever entered the house, do you hear any special sounds?"

Yu Xia asked.

Another inexplicable question.

The crowd shook their heads in bewilderment.

In fact, these problems were also covered in the records given by the catchers before, and several people separated them one by one in order to be safe, and asked other details separately, and finally reluctantly left the Jade Building.

Except for the scent of mandala flowers in the house, there was nothing to be gained from this trip.

"Aren't there still a few red-card girls who went to the Yihong Courtyard opposite, do you want to ask them too?"

Jiang Lingfan proposed.

In fact, those girls had been questioned one by one by the catchers before, and it didn't make much sense to ask them again. But at this time, the four of them didn't have a clue, so they walked towards Yihong Courtyard.

A few people walked to the door of Yihong Courtyard and found that the door was sealed, and there was no trace of the breath of a living person inside, and they sent people to the empty building.

"Hey masters, why are you here again today? This trip is in vain, the old bustard of Yihong Courtyard was arrested last night, and the county magistrate announced the sentence and asked for beheading after the autumn! ”

A woman in her thirties poked out of a nearby room, with a bright red flower on her head and rouge on her cheeks.

This is the secret prostitute of Smoke Willow Lane.

After the successive accidents in the Yihong Courtyard of the Jade Building, the guests had no place to have fun, and some of them who did not have much money in their pockets and were willing to make do with them all went to the secret prostitutes, and the business of the secret prostitutes suddenly improved a lot, but these little women were beautiful.

The woman in front of her had joy in her eyes that could not be hidden.

"Who would have thought that so many people would die in the courtyard of the partition wall! What an appalling thing! That night, Ju's mother saw the kind appearance of everyone smiling on weekdays, who would have thought that she would be so heartbroken! ”

As the woman was talking, she suddenly remembered something, and looked up and down at the group with some confusion.

"Didn't you find out about the murder in Yihong Courtyard? How do you not know that this place has been sealed? ”

Jiang Jiujiu didn't pay attention to the woman's questioning, and only took out a silver ingot from his waist and stuffed it into her hand.

"This lady, do you know where the girls who took refuge in Yihong Courtyard in the Jade Mansion have gone now?"

The silver given by Jiang Jiujiu was not small, not to mention ten taels, the woman put the silver in her mouth and bit it, and immediately put it away happily, and then rubbed her hands and replied.

"This poor master, you can be regarded as asking the right person, those little prodigal hooves, asked them to cross the river and tear down the bridge, it is clear that the Jade Building made them popular, but as soon as the owner had an accident, he immediately thought about getting rid of his cadres and climbing high branches, who would have thought that this is not a high branch at all, but an oil pot!"

The woman gloated, seeing Jiang Jiujiu's gradually serious expression, knowing that she was talking too much nonsense, she immediately closed her mouth and swallowed her saliva, and laughed.

"Hehe, the little woman is clumsy, don't blame the poor master. There are three girls who came out of the Jade Building to take refuge in Yihong Courtyard, one is called Yuejiao, one is called Yuemiao, and the other is called Yuemei. That Yuejiao, her life is not good, she died of illness as soon as she entered Yihong Courtyard, but there was such a murder in Yihong Courtyard, who knows if she died of illness or killed that night chrysanthemum. ”

"As for the other two, they are a pair of twin sisters, and they both asked Liu Yuanwai in the east of the city to redeem himself and take him back as a concubine! When he was in the Jade Building before, Liu Yuanwai took a fancy to the two of them, and they still wanted to take Qiao and refused, which is good, don't you obediently obey others. ”

The woman shook her head with disdain, but there was indeed envy in her eyes that could not be concealed.

"Although Liu Yuanwai is a little old and ugly, he is rich! It's not fragrant and spicy with him, they are really blessed! ”

"No one else but them?"

Jiang Jiujiu interrupted the woman's words with a speech.

The woman knew that she had accidentally talked too much, her face was full of annoyance, and she immediately nodded honestly when she heard Jiang Jiu's question.

"The little woman is not half a lie, this matter has been spread all over the Willow Alley! I don't know about the sick seedlings in the Jade Building who have recently learned to stay at home. ”
