Chapter 20: The Secret of the "As I Smell" Shop

Chu Yunfei came earlier than Mei Yingxue imagined. He had just had lunch, and when he went back to the bedroom to take a nap, he found that the bed had been occupied by Chu Yunfei.

"How did you get in?" Mei Yingxue looked puzzled, the front and back doors were guarded by officials, how did Chu Yunfei get in?

"If you can get out, of course I'll be able to come in." Chu Yunfei sat up from the bed.

Mei Yingxue almost laughed out loud just by looking at him, because he was dressed as a maid! The woman's outfit made him look very funny. I didn't expect him to look like that when he dressed as a girl!

"Laugh if you want, I know it's ridiculous." Chu Yunfei said in a nonchalant tone.

Mei Yingxue tried to make her smile look less exaggerated: "It's just a little ridiculous." I'm telling the truth. It's just that you are such a tall and mighty girl, walking on the road in this dress, I'm afraid that many people will pay attention to you, right? ”

Chu Yunfei glanced at him and stood up with a "poof". At this time, Mei Yingxue's laughter finally broke out: the skirt was small and short, it was hard for him to wear it! It is conceivable that he must have walked in with his legs bent: the famous merry boy Chu Yunfei walked in in this dress, and it made people laugh just thinking about it.

Mei Yingxue guessed that the purpose of his coming here was to go to Baihualou. Unexpectedly, Chu Yunfei's destination was the "If I Smell" store. Mei Yingxue readily agreed.

The royal street has lost its former prosperity, most of the shops are half-closed, and even the windows on the second floor are tightly closed. The soldiers guarding the street looked warily at the passers-by. The doors of the "As I Smell" shop and the Treasure Pavilion were locked and sealed. From time to time, people pass by in front of the door, but most of them pass by in a hurry, for fear of causing trouble.

The silent street suddenly became lively, as a man in brocade called out to the soldiers and asked to enter the Treasure Pavilion to find out.

Who dares to ask for trouble? The soldiers curiously gathered around, but saw that the man was holding the waist card of King Liang in his hand. By the pattern on the card, they knew that the waist card was given by the emperor, representing the supreme power, and seeing the card was like seeing the king. Even if the soldiers were ten thousand unwilling, they had to open the door. The whole street was attracted by this sudden situation, and gradually gathered around to watch the excitement. Taking advantage of this, Chu Yunfei went around to the back of the "As I Smell" store, pried open the back door and entered the store. Needless to say, the person who led the soldiers away was Mei Yingxue.

Mei Yingxue was a little helpless, but for Chu Yunfei, he had to stick a knife in both sides. After confirming that the waist card was indeed given by King Liang, the soldiers reluctantly opened the door of the Treasure Pavilion and let Mei Yingxue enter.

"If I smell it", the store is lined with chairs, tables and other objects. Not a single thing of value was left on the first floor. Behind the counter was a dug tunnel, through which those people entered the Treasure Pavilion. Chu Yunfei glanced at it a few times, and then went up to the second floor.

On the second floor is the living room of Mr. and Mrs. Yu, to be precise, Mr. and Mrs. Wang and Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Xishi. The downstairs layout is ordinary, but the upstairs is a hole, at the top of the stairs is a north-south walkway for two people, with a window on the north and a door on the south. There was a chair by the window, standing in front of the window for a panoramic view of the backyard. Chu Yunfei stood in front of the window and looked at it a few times, and found that the paint on the window lattice had been worn away. Turning to walk south, I pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance greeted me, although the spice was mixed with musk, but the familiar smell was still there. Chu Yunfei looked around the room, the furniture and bedding had been taken away, but the decorations on the windows were still there, and the floor was cleaned spotlessly. Apparently the people who live here know how to enjoy life.

Chu Yunfei's brows furrowed slightly: The trappers of the government were too careless. After the case of the "I Smell" store, as long as they had been to the second floor, they could tell that the owner was not an ordinary small trader or peddler. A person with a million-dollar fortune naturally does not have the same amount of food and clothing as a person like the boss - the spices of lavender clothes are all musk that ordinary people can't buy a piece of in a year's expenses, and the things used are naturally not comparable to ordinary people. As long as he asks a little, maybe he can let Wang Million show his feet, at least it will play the role of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. The tragedy of the Treasure Pavilion could have been avoided, but they let go of a great opportunity!

Chu Yunfei went downstairs, pushed open the courtyard door and entered a small courtyard, and beyond the patio was a small attic. The patio is very small, and you can only see the palm-sized sky below. This loft was originally not the same as the storefront, and it is said that the owner specially added it. Downstairs is the warehouse, upstairs is Yu Xueqing's boudoir. When I opened the door, I saw several beds made of wooden planks side by side downstairs, with mattresses and quilts piled on them. Apparently these are the places where thieves live.

Chu Yunfei had entered many boudoirs, but when he entered Yu Xueqing's boudoir, he was still taken aback: the room was littered with all kinds of jade materials, stones, and tools for processing jade, and the walls were full of all kinds of jade patterns. In addition, there are also prices such as bronze objects that are placed on the ground, and it is almost impossible to get off your feet. There was a bed under the window, proving that it was indeed a bedroom. The brocade quilt and fur pillow on the bed show that the people who sleep here also know how to enjoy life. But it's going to be a young lady who hasn't come out of the cabinet yet, right?

The scene here made him secretly surprised, whether it was King Liang, the neighbors, or the guys who had been hired by them, they all said that it was Yu Xueqing who lived here on weekdays, and she was usually on the second floor, since this was her embroidery building, why did it look more like a workshop? You must know that the capable person who makes jade is Boss Yu, not Yu Xueqing! Since this is Yu Xueqing's boudoir, where is the place where Boss Yu imitates jade?

There is also a possibility that Yu Xueqing got the true biography of Boss Yu. But it's still a bit unreasonable, if the person who imitated the jade is Yu Xueqing, the dead Wang Million, that is, the real boss Yu's wound on the hand of what to explain? Also, if Yu Xueqing really lives in this kind of place, why does King Liang and even the guys wear heavy makeup and dress up very appropriately when they see her? Is there another mystery in this room, otherwise what would Yu Xueqing use to dress herself?

Thinking of this, he turned and walked to the bedside. The moment he reached the bedside, an unexpected surprise appeared in front of him: a ladder was placed in front of the window, because it was dark in the room, and it could only be seen when he approached. The attic and the front building are only three feet apart, and the distance between the eaves, plus the ladder, can just step from the back to the front building - that is to say, this is where Wang Million lives! Could it be that he and Pretty Shih Tzu are a fake couple? Wang Million found a substitute for himself to die ghost, what about Qiao Xi Shi? Is she the only victim in the Yu family's bloodbath?
