Chapter 110: Track down the murderer
Before Situ Nanyun could withdraw his fingers, Lin Yuelan grabbed the white fingertips and took a bite, "I hope so, my father wrote to the emperor the day before yesterday to ask for marriage, but for some reason the emperor didn't approve it, it seems that he plans to make an order after the banquet." ”
Situ Nanyun didn't think too much about this, she remembered another sad thing in her heart, she had never told Lin Yuelan her true identity, although her body was Situ Nanyun, but she was a thousand-year-old soul, an outsider, a person from another time and space, and now she was about to become her wife, she was thinking more about how she would confess herself to Lin Yuelan, I don't know if the other party can accept a soul that occupies someone else's body or a time-traveler from another time and space as his wife, I was worried in my heart, and I couldn't sleep, asked tentatively, "Lin Yuelan, let me ask you a question...... Hypothetical question.
The corners of Lin Yuelan's mouth hooked slightly, looking at her, "It seems to be an interesting question." ”
"If you fall in love with someone, an abnormal person, such as a soul who occupies someone else's body, or someone from another time and space, will you still love her and marry her?" Situ Nanyun looked at him faintly.
"Well, the question...... It's strange," Lin Yuelan thought in her eyes, although Ruo'er's matter was put down, it had always been a knot in his heart, and she suddenly disappeared from his life, for which he was sad for two years, and said quietly: "As long as she is still a flesh-and-blood person, and she won't just leave, otherwise, when she suddenly disappears, I don't know where to find her." ”
Situ Nanyun was satisfied with Lin Yuelan's reply and fell asleep happily.
In the dark, Lin Yuelan's eyes shone brightly, "Yun'er, are you asking such a question because you are Ruo'er?" Then he shook his head to himself, a little amused as to why he suddenly had such a strange thought.
Early the next morning, Situ Nanyun opened her eyes, habitually looking for Lin Yuelan's figure, and saw that the person in front of her was sleeping soundly, so she thought that Lin Yuelan was too tired in the past few days, so she would sleep so deeply, and she didn't dare to alarm him, so she looked at him quietly.
"He is really good-looking, with slender thick black eyebrows that extend to the temples, a high nose, thin lips with clear lines, a little tenderness in perseverance, and a few tufts of short hair in front of his forehead show a taste of unruliness." Situ Nanyun admired the picture of the perfect man sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but drop a kiss on his lips, thinking that he hadn't surprised him, and felt a little proud in his heart for a while.
The corners of Lin Yuelan's mouth hooked, Situ Nanyun noticed it, so she gently tapped his forehead with her little finger, "I'm still so rich in expression when I'm asleep, what happy things are you thinking?" What an idiot. ”
This familiar pattern of words came into Lin Yuelan's ears again, his heartstrings shook, he opened his eyes, turned over and propped himself up on top of Situ Nanyun, stared at her, and asked for a long time, "How long have you been awake?" ”
That time, after Lin Yuelan Zhulin was injured, she was in the same carriage as Du Ruo, and she said the same thing.
"What an idiot."
Situ Nanyun was stared at by him, her face turned red, and she snorted: "It's been a while, did you ...... just now Already awake? ”
Lin Yuelan chuckled, "Well, just now, when you kissed me, I woke up." ”
This day was the first day of the state banquet, and Lin Yue went to the palace when he was young. Situ Nanyun naturally stayed at home because of her injury, Qingyue took care of her, and the two chatted.
"Qingyue, you said that Situ Nanzhu sent someone to assassinate me, what is going on?" Situ Nanyun asked.
So Qingyue explained what happened:
That day, Situ Nanyun went to the compartment to try on clothes, Qingfeng ran over and told Lin Yuelan, saying that he saw Situ Nanzhu and the girl sneakily follow them all the way to Tianhua Qiong Yifang, and whispered with a strange man, after reporting these situations to Lin Yuelan, Lin Yuelan was a little uneasy, so she told Qingfeng to take care of Situ Nanyun and go over to see what was going on. Qingfeng followed Lin Yuelan's instructions and stayed outside the compartment, when suddenly a man in black floated past his box, and Qingfeng saw that the man seemed to be the man who had handed over to Situ Nanzhu, so he followed.
The man in black dodged into a box, and Qingfeng followed suit. The man in black found him, picked up the knife in his hand, grabbed a woman in the box, and forced her by the neck, "Don't come here, get out!" ”
Qingfeng stopped his steps and hurriedly stabilized him, "Don't mess around, let her go." As he spoke, he secretly threw a silver needle and hit the wrist of the man in black impartially, the man let go of his hand, so the knife that fell on the girl's neck also fell to the ground, Qingfeng walked over with an arrow and saved the girl, and in the interval between Qingfeng's rescue, the man in black took the opportunity to escape.
Qingfeng remembered that he still had the task of protecting Situ Nanyun, so he didn't go out to chase him anymore, so he turned back to the Xianyun box, and just found Situ Nanyun lying in a pool of blood, and after rescuing her and handing her over to Lin Yuelan, he went to track down the clues of the murderer.
He first checked the wall of the cubicle and found a secret door of the same color as the wall, and after several attempts, the secret door could not be opened from the inside. Out of the compartment, I happened to meet Qingying and Qingyue, who came with the Qingge secret guard. At this time, Qingying had surrounded Tianhua Qiongyi Pavilion, and Qingyue directly arrested the proprietress for questioning, where could the proprietress withstand Qingyue's torture to extract a confession, and finally confessed the truth.
"A day ago, two people came to the store and offered a high price of 1,000 taels, saying that they were looking for a room with a secret door, and I showed them this room, and they were very satisfied, and showed me a painting, and said that if they saw the person in the painting, they would bring them to this box, and they would take care of the rest. I don't feel at ease, and if it's a matter of killing people, I won't do it no matter how much I pay a high price, after all, I will have to mix in Yandu in the future. They promised me that they would only take revenge on the woman in the painting and that they would not harm her life, and I agreed without much thought. ”
Qingyue glanced at the proprietress coldly, "If I find out that you have half a lie, I don't care what kind of proprietress you are in Tianyan No. 1 Workshop, I still slaughtered you with a knife and burned your place." Say, where is the portrait? ”
The proprietress shuddered and took out a painting from the room, "This is it." ”
Qingyue glanced at it, and saw that Situ Nanyun and Lin Yuelan were painted on it, and quietly accepted the painting, "What do those two look like?" ”
The proprietress shook her head like a rattle, "both of them were veiled, and the voices were heard, one was a woman of fifty or sixty years old, and the other was a girl of eighteen or nineteen. ”
Qingyue frowned, and took the proprietress to a group of girls, who had been gathered together by Qingying, "Then you can find Ke'er." ”
The proprietress looked at each other and shook her head, "Ke'er is not here." ”
At the same time, Qingfeng was also investigating the male guests in the spinning, and found no suspicious people, so he walked over and said to Qingyue: "Let's go to the secret door to take a look." ”
The proprietress returned to her room, and it turned out that the secret door connected to the hostess's bedroom, and she opened the secret door.
Qingyue escorted her in, in the middle of the secret door was a closed space, there were no fingers in it, Qingfeng opened the fire fold, found a person lying on the ground, sniffed, and was already out of breath.
The proprietress saw the man's face clearly, and pointed with trembling fingers, "This is Ke'er." ”
The secret passage led all the way to the interval where Situ Nanyun had an accident, and Qingfeng and Qingyue found that there was nothing suspicious except for a few pieces of Situ Nanyun's clothes that were still on the ground. After Qingyue came out of the secret door with Kerr's corpse, she checked Kerr's body and found that she was first struck by incense, and then strangled to death, with shocking bruises and strangulation marks on her neck, and sighed, "Kerr is dead, and there is no proof of death." ”
The three of them were silent for a while, Qingying suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked the proprietress, "Where is the property they gave you?" ”
The proprietress took out a silver ticket, "This is the one thousand taels of silver ticket they gave me." ”
Qingying took the silver ticket, the name of the money bank on the silver ticket is "open source bank", he frowned, this open source money bank is a very mysterious money bank, it was opened in Yandu more than ten years ago, no one has seen the head of the money bank so far, folklore is a heavyweight of the official family.
Qingying went to open source finance to find out.
Through Qingge's intelligence, Qingying heard that the open source finance bank has started the pawn industry in recent years, which is a business that arises for outsiders who enter Yan to carry a large amount of money and are inconvenient to move around in Yandu. learned from the proprietress of Tianhua Qiong Yifang that the two of them had foreign accents, roughly the accents of the southern region of Tianyan, and Qingying gradually had an idea in her heart.
Qingying found the store supervisor of the open source finance bank, "Exchange the original, according to the road, the interest of fifty percent, these fifty taels of silver are the interest I paid." ”
The director of Qian Zhuang was a middle-aged man, his eyes were shining, and he glanced at him twice, "It seems that this master is a knowledgeable person, but there are rules for financial practice, and this pawn is only reserved for the original owner." ”
Qingying's dark eyes narrowed, "Boss, you do business when you do business, and your financial business is not a nosy place," leaned close to the man's ear, and said in a low voice: "Your bank, it's not a secret to do underground business in the past few years, I don't know how many stolen goods have been sold for people in the past few years, everyone is mixed up on the road, and they can't embarrass me." ”
A few thoughts flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "Okay, plus double the interest." ”
"Deal." Qingfeng replied coldly.
Qingying took the box handed over by the middle-aged man, checked the number of the silver ticket on the silver ticket and the number on the box, and confirmed that it was correct, "It's this, that's right." "I opened the box, and inside were several pieces of jewelry of great value.
Qingying then brought the jewelry back to Lin Yuelan to see, Lin Yuelan saw the sign of "Jade Lingfang" on it, her slender brows furrowed, Jade Lingfang is the most famous jade spinning in Xiaoye City, so when Situ Han entered the study, Lin Yuelan told the above situation again, and took out the jewelry that Qingying brought back from the open source money to corroborate.
