Dai Guozi's trust in Gu Changming has risen several levels now, if it were just when he first met. He must have walked away, who is here to listen to the chatter of other people's gods.
He pressed his temperament and asked carefully: "There is no killing, where did the four female corpses come from?" ”
"Fruit, do you remember what those female corpses were wearing?" When Gu Changming said this, his eyes were always looking at the door.
I can't even listen to the ins on the side, can I not ask the next question immediately before one problem is solved? Especially for someone like him, who only got involved halfway, his mind was full of muddy water, and he couldn't think of the right answer.
Dai Guozi replied aggrievedly: "Remember, especially the three female corpses in front of me, I can describe them with my eyes closed." ”
"Does one of them look like the warbler just now?" Gu Changming was obviously also recalling, he arrived at the scene a little late, and he couldn't tell the order of the three.
Gu Changming didn't mention it, he really didn't expect to wear the fruit, but now that he thinks about it, it is really from the bun to the dress, and even the accessories are almost the same. If Yingying fell next to those female corpses, she wouldn't be able to tell who was who.
"In addition to makeup, after all, it has been washed by the water surface, and no matter how good the rouge gouache is, it can't be kept." Gu Changming saw that Liu San was going to go back quickly, and he was holding a few pieces of rice paper in his hand. He directly reached out to come over, comparing one by one, three of which were the same as the female corpse, "Only four were found?" ”
"Well, I obviously remember that the five were all put together, why is there one missing?" Liu San struggled to explain, "I really didn't know that these paintings would be used as murder weapons. Can't those women be saved? ”
"I can't save it, and when I salvage it, I will be out of breath." Gu Changming just took out the one that was different from others and compared it.
"Drowned?" Liu San was really annoyed, he hibernated in the flower building, eating and drinking, doing some calligraphy and painting, thinking that this life could pass in such a chaotic way. It seems that what can't be avoided is not avoided after all.
"It's not drowning, there's no water in the woman's abdomen. As for the cause of death, I found another expert who should be able to give me a detailed answer. Gu Changming didn't raise his head, and pointed to the inch that was shrunk beside him.
"He's not from the Central Plains." Liu San's attention was slightly distracted. This person's sense of existence is so small, it should be three people at the same time, and he can't remember that there is such a person.
"He has a good eye, he came from the southwestern frontier and wants to do some small business." For Gu Changming, these petty thefts done in General Eton's Mansion are no longer a big deal. If he can help solve the case, he will agree to this favor.
Inch Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't deny his words, so he nodded again and again: "Do some small business, but it didn't work." Now that the principal has been lost, I am ready to go home. ”
"Does this one look any different?" Liu San looked at Gu Changming and repeatedly confirmed it on a piece of drawing paper.
"I haven't seen the person on this one." Maybe we'll see you next? Gu Changming hurriedly put away the drawing paper and politely saluted Liu San, "Since everything that should be asked has already been asked home, don't bother more, there is still a good time to do business in this building at night." ”
Where is Liu San still in the mood to talk about business, and the whole person is scared: "The one I haven't seen is the one who will die next?" ”
Gu Changming gave him a approving look, and then looked at Dai Guozi, Guozi turned his head arrogantly, people painting casually are thousands of taels of silver, not to mention that he can't compare, Gu Changming doesn't have such a good livelihood.
"Then I'll take my leave." Gu Changming took the lead and left, and Liu San said that he would send him to the door of the flower building.
"Hey, it's a shame that you don't ask those who come to him what they look like and what characteristics they have." Dai Guozi didn't understand Gu Changming's methods, Liu San could be regarded as a witness who saw the clues with his own eyes, and left without asking a word!
"You can ask." The corners of Gu Changming's mouth were slightly raised, and he looked a different kind of coldness.
As soon as Dai Guozi heard his words, he unceremoniously blocked in front of Liu San: "Hey, let me ask you, what are the looks and characteristics of the people looking for your portrait, and how many people are there?" ”
"Didn't that girl just say that you can only see one person for three hundred taels of silver." Cun Xi kindly reminded beside him.
Dai Guozi glared at him, you don't speak, no one is when you are dumb, shut up for me.
"There is no comment on this, the person who came was dressed in black and black, and even the front of his eyes was covered with a black veil, and he didn't want me to see the calendar at all." Liu San's words made Dai Guozi stunned, and said that Gu Changming had already calculated it, so he didn't ask this sentence much?
"Fat and thin?" Dai Guozi gritted his back molars, and he had to ask something today to be worthy of himself.
"Being tall and thin can be disguised, and when you put something in your shoes, you will immediately grow taller. Wear a few more layers in your clothes, and you will look unusually burly. When Liu San arrived at this time, the corners of his eyes were raised, revealing a cunning expression like a little fox, "I can only be sure that this person is a woman." ”
"How can you be sure?" Dai Guozi was already almost at the top of the stairs, and was unceremoniously kicked up by Gu Changming behind him and kicked him behind his knees. If he hadn't hugged the fence next to him with his eyes and hands, he would have been able to roll down.
"Alright, don't ask such a stupid question. He had seen more people in the flower building than anyone else, and he said that it was a woman, and it was a woman. Gu Changming saw that Dai Guozi was about to have a seizure, and one sentence suppressed all his anger back.
Dai Guozi replied dejectedly, what Gu Changming said also made sense. Liu San can draw the charm of a beauty with a few strokes on paper, I don't know how many beauties of all kinds this person has seen in his life, and how can he compare with them.
"It's still worth going through this experience." In Gu Changming's mind, the fourth picture of the beauty was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Liu San kept sending the three of them out of the door of the flower building, and earnestly explained that if there was a place for him, he could come over to find someone at any time.
"Don't want three hundred taels of silver to see the guest?" Dai Guozi never forgot this, and took it out to scold him.
"If you don't feel sure about what girl you like in the future, you can come and find it. I will definitely give you advice and give you a beautiful home. "Liu San's mouth is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In the midst of laughter, the door of the flower building was quietly closed.
"It's deflated." Looking at him carefully, he was angry and annoyed, as if he was going to rush back and beat someone, not to mention how good his mood was. Let you slap me, let you be so unkind to me, and some people will retaliate and give you a look.
"Miss Liu, what is she doing?" Gu Changming's soft words drew the attention of the two back again.
Dai Guozi was inexplicably nervous, and Liu Zhuxue was still on the bean flower stall. The bean curd stall has long been empty, the boss is moving tables and chairs back, where is Liu Zhuxue's figure there.
"The man is gone! Miss Liu is gone!" Dai Guozi shouted in panic, leaving the two of them and running towards the bean flower stall.
"Why do I have a hunch that he will soon come to find that Liu Xianggong in the flower building?" Cun Xi squinted his eyes and smiled.
"When it's time to shut up, don't talk too much." Gu Changming's eyesight is much better than Dai Guozi, there is no one at the bean flower stall, and there is not a teahouse next to it, doing business with the door open. Liu Zhuxue sat at the door, although her back was facing outward, and the corner of her skirt was still very clear from his angle.
Dai Guozi almost picked up the owner of the bean curd stall and tortured him: "Let me ask you, where was the girl just now!" ”
The proprietress saw that someone was bullying her father-in-law, but she didn't buy it. walked over and pulled Dai Guozi's hand: "What are you doing looking for a girl to catch my father-in-law, the room next to it is full of girls." ”
"I'm asking about the girl in the light green shirt with a long sword in her hand." Dai Guozi was so anxious that he almost stuttered. This place is no better than Quyang County, if something happens to Liu Zhuxue, where is he going to find someone?
"Oh, girl with a sword." The proprietress hugged her hands to her chest and looked at the teahouse obliquely, "I told her that the stall was going to be collected, and she gave her double money and went to sit in the teahouse." ”
Teahouse...... Dai Guozi turned his head slightly. Liu Zhuxue should have heard their words, got up and turned her head, and waved at them. Motioned for her to turn around and wait for someone, and didn't run around.
"Did you find any clues?" Liu Zhuxue didn't see the embarrassment on Dai Guozi's face, she really didn't think about it. Just looking at the expressions of the three of them, whether it is good news or bad news, they should all have gains.
"Yes, the portrait came out of here. A few days ago, someone asked for the most fashionable picture album of women dressed up at the moment, and three of them were basically consistent with the female corpses floating on the Tongtian River. Gu Changming's mind had already drawn a water transportation map that Ah Liu showed him.
From Tang County to Quyang County, the waterway is not long, where did those women fall into the water?
"And where are we going next?" Liu Zhuxue paid for the tea and bought them some refreshments, "Have you gone back?" ”
Gu Changming stared at her with a pair of eyes and was silent. His eyes are dark and deep, and when he looks at a person intently, he seems to be able to suck the spirit of the other person into the pupil. Liu Zhuxue was nailed by his feet and didn't dare to move.
"Gu Gongzi, why are you looking at me like this?" Liu Zhuxue has not been seen by a young and handsome man like this. A layer of blush slowly rose on her cheeks, imprinted from under her snow-white skin, indescribably delicate.
"Look at this." Gu Changming handed her the fourth portrait, and Dai Guozi and Cun Xi probed their brains together, what did they want to see?
"This doesn't look like what she's wearing." Inch carefully scratched the hair, "The hair is not the same. ”
"When we first met Miss Liu, she wasn't wearing this outfit." Dai Guozi finally got ahead of the inch at one time, "The hair she combed at that time, and the dress she wore were almost exactly the same as those in this portrait except for the different colors." ”
