Chapter Forty-Eight: The Shadow
Mei Xiang Xiaozhu, Chu Yunfei was preoccupied, he knew that the case was far from over. The biggest doubt in his mind was why the emperor was so nervous about grinding Jade Guanyin, which seemed unreasonable. The emperor is the king of a country and believes in Taoism. The statue of Guanyin was preserved by King Liang a long time ago, and it stands to reason that it could not have been so nervous. Is there a secret in this that cannot be known to outsiders? What's the secret?
"Can you seriously answer a question from me?" Chu Yunfei looked at Mei Yingxue, "Tell me, what is the relationship between you and the Spring Festival girl?" Is she really the helper of the 'Jade Butterfly'? ”
Mei Yingxue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Are you still thinking about her?" How could I remember to ask her what she had to do with me? ”
Chu Yunfei sighed: "I know that her appearance is definitely not accidental. Your relationship is also extraordinary. Although you deliberately pretend not to know each other in front of me, I can be sure that you are definitely related. ”
"You're right! I'll just say you can't hide it from him! Yingchun's voice sounded, and then he suddenly jumped in from outside the door and walked up to them with a grin.
Mei Yingxue looked at her with a smile, and then looked at Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei laughed: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it." Brother Mei, you stupid melon who doesn't like to talk is so lucky, I'm really a little jealous of you! ”
Yingchun looked at him unhappily: "What are you talking about?" Don't talk nonsense until you understand the situation! Why do you think everything badly? ”
"I can't figure it out? Can you tell me what the hell is going on? ”
Yingchun was a little unhappy, but Mei Yingxue did not relieve her, but put on a posture to watch the excitement.
"Hey, hey, hey! You two can't just gang up and bully me alone, right? If you go on like this, I'm going to cry!" Yingchun's nose was sore, and the tears in his eyes were really rolling.
Chu Yunfei didn't expect Yingchun to turn his face much faster than turning the book, he hurriedly got up and wanted to apologize, but suddenly as if he was thinking about something, after looking at the two of them carefully, he suddenly said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, I understand!" I finally got it! …… I heard that there is an Aomei Villa more than ten miles south of the city, and there is a rude, willful and bold Miss Mei in the Aomei Villa. This legendary female devil who kills people without blinking, can't it be you? ”
Although he was facing Mei Yingxue when he spoke, the fool could also see that the person he was targeting was Yingchun. Yingchun's face was red and white for a while, and it took a long time before he stomped his feet and said, "Hey, cousin, everyone has called me a big devil, why are you still giggling on the side!" ”
Chu Yunfei jumped up, clapped his hands and laughed, "Sure enough, I guessed it." You are Miss Mei of Aomei Villa! I should have thought of it a long time ago. There are not many people who can call the wind and rain in the capital, and they are so familiar with the capital, plus you are so beautiful and capable, except for the daughter of Aomei Villa, there will be no one else. I just can't think of it,...... You would even pretend to be the leader of the 'Jade Butterfly', if you let the real helper know, you may not ......."
"I'm really the leader of the 'Jade Butterfly'." Mei Yingchun interrupted him, looked at her very seriously, and said, "Don't you think I'm not like me?" Believe it or not, I am. The reason why I came here is because I heard that someone found the mark of 'jade butterfly' in this case. ”
Chu Yunfei looked at her with wide eyes, and then looked at Mei Yingxue as if he was asking for verification. Mei Yingxue nodded. Now it was really his turn to be surprised, and it always felt strange to associate such a flowery girl with a moonlight appearance with the legendary thief. Not only did he not believe it, but when he first revealed her identity, Lord Yin and King Liang reacted strangely.
Mei Yingxue looked at him with a smile, "I have something very important to go first." Brother Chu, if there is anything interesting next time, remember to inform me. ”
"Huh?" Chu Yunfei was stunned for a moment, seeing that Yingchun really planned to leave, he hurriedly stopped her, "I really have something I want to ask you for help." ”
Chu Yunfei's matter of asking for Yingchun was a bit tricky, and he wanted her to find out the whereabouts of the woman who claimed to be Xue'er. Chu Yunfei originally thought she was Liang Yunsheng's person, but after careful questioning, Liang Yunsheng didn't seem to know her origin. And she had also planned to do something to Pretty Shi, and it seemed that she should not necessarily be the same person as them. The case has been investigated so far, but she seems to have evaporated from the world, what is going on? Who the hell is she? Could it be the third force that exists?
Yingchun agreed to his request and turned to leave.
"Did I offend her? Isn't it just asking her for a favor? Chu Yunfei looked at Mei Yingxue puzzled.
Mei Yingxue glanced at him, "Do you really not understand or are you pretending to be stupid?" Forget it, forget it. It's better if I don't understand it. ”
Chu Yunfei didn't quite understand what he meant. But he wasn't going to pursue it. Because he asked Mei Yingxue to take him to Baihualou immediately. Mei Yingxue readily agreed, as if this request was within his expectations.
Baihualou doesn't seem to be as lively as the last time they came, and the huge casino has also been withdrawn, and there are not as many people as last time. The only constant is that all of them are still wearing masks. Chu Yunfei left Mei Yingxue and went straight to Hu Ji.
"I knew you were going to be here. I heard that the case of the Treasure Pavilion has been closed. Why didn't Childe rest at home, what are you doing here? Hu Ji sat in front of the dresser and looked at Chu Yunfei who suddenly appeared in the mirror.
The veil she wore on her face made Chu Yunfei unable to figure out her expression at this time. He took a few steps closer, took out a golden earring from his arms, and looked at it carefully for a long time. Orchid shook suddenly, and a smile barely appeared on her face, "Are you ...... Where did you find it? ”
Chu Yunfei walked up to her, looked into her eyes, and said lightly, "I'm curious about your identity and your purpose." Can you tell me who you really are? ”
Orchid looked at him with a wry smile. That pair of earrings really made her unable to excuse herself, because she accidentally fell into the back hall of the mansion. The second person to break into the back hall that day was her. But before she could make a move, she heard someone coming in from outside, and had to hide on the beams of the house.
"You watched the servants being killed but didn't stop them, were you afraid, or were you indifferent?"
From the moment she saw the earrings, Chu Yunfei drew a lot of question marks in her heart, why did she go there? Mei Yingxue, who was hiding in the sedan chair, knew that there was someone in the room, why didn't she say it?
Hu Ji took the pair of earrings, and she bet that Chu Yunfei would not betray her to the government, "I am here to protect myself." If Gongzi Chu feels that he will be questioned if he dies and does not save him, then send me to the government, right? ”
Chu Yunfei grabbed her outstretched hand, pulled it to the lips and kissed it: "What should I do with you?" You make me confused, how can I be willing to send you to the government. In exchange, though, I want to take you away. ”
Orchid looked at him in surprise, even suspecting that something was wrong with her ears. Chu Yunfei's lips pulled a smile, and he said lightly, "I'm going to take you away." I believe that the owner of Baihua will not object. This decision is not only for you, but also for myself.
