Xie Luoying heard that Xiao Qi would be "beheaded" in ten days, and the whole person was overwhelmed.

She went to find Chu Cheng to find a way, but Chu Cheng was also anxious at home.

Chu Ji is not only anxious about Xiao Xu, but also anxious about Lin Boqin!

Listening to Yang La and Hu Yu, Lin Boqin gave himself up in order to protect Xiao Xu's ten-day life, and if he couldn't find the murderer after ten days, he would go to Huangquan with Xiao Xu.

What is this?

Martyrdom?

Other officials are eager to get everything aside, how far they can hide, how far they can hide, he is good, and he directly takes it all on himself. Chu Cheng pulled his head open to see if it was paste!

When Xie Luoying learned of this, her feelings were equally complicated.

She is obviously a very strong woman, but now she is sitting on the pestle, silent, but the tears in her eyes are rolling.

"What can I do......

Chu Ji hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and ordered Mao Bi to come over with a light gauze hat.

Xie Luoying was stunned when she heard this: "Siniang is going out?" ”

But when she used to go out, she never wore a hat to cover her face.

Chu Cheng heard that it was Huo Ying's holy decree sent by Wangzhou, and the whole person was a little bit of a bow and snake shadow, she didn't want to hang outside, just because she was afraid of meeting Huo Ying. She couldn't tell Xie Luoying about this, so she could only reluctantly lie and said: "The weather is very cold, and the skin on my face hurts, so I will wear a hat." After speaking, she hurriedly diverted the topic, "I plan to go to the Cuihong Courtyard to investigate again." ”

Xie Luoying didn't expect Chu Cheng to go to the scene of the crime in person.

She was stunned and said: "After the incident in Cuihong Courtyard, it has been sealed by the government for a long time, and there are still officials guarding the door. ”

"I should be able to get in." Chu Cheng looked at her and looked embarrassed, "But I guess those officials won't let you in......"

Xie Luoying understood this, she nodded: "It's good for Siniang to go, as long as you can find clues and save Brother Xiao!" ”

Chu Cheng said goodbye to Xie Luoying at the door.

She wore a hood and walked down the street, but it was somewhat noticeable. After all, the Great Yuan Dynasty was open to the people, and few women covered their faces to travel.

Chu Cheng bypassed the two streets and came to the Cuihong Courtyard.

was originally a lively place, so when Wu Guangbi died, the door was crowded. The gate was affixed with the seal of the Qingyuan County Ya, and the old bustard girl was all nested inside, and she couldn't go anywhere.

There were two officials standing at the door, talking, Chu Cheng looked at his face familiarly, he must have seen it in the county government before.

She went in over the wall or Zhengmingguang, hesitated for a moment, and thought about whether she stepped forward and lifted the light veil of the hat.

When the two saw Chu Hui, they were first amazed, and then nodded again and again: "It turned out to be Mrs." "What is Madame doing here?"

Chu Cheng smiled and said the lines that she had thought out in advance: "Husband, let me come over and take a look." ”

“…… What did Lord Lin order? ”

The two asked rhetorically.

"Yes."

Chu Cheng bowed slightly, but she was beating drums in her heart, these two would definitely refuse.

However, as soon as she thought so, the two of them drew their knives and cut the seal, and smiled at Chu Cheng: "It's windy outside, Madame go in quickly, but don't delay for too long, otherwise we won't be able to explain the blame from the top of the government." ”

Chu Ji didn't expect it to be easy, she hurriedly said, "Thank you." ”

"Madame, you've always made pastries for us to eat, and we haven't said thank you yet!" "Yes, and Lord Lin took all the assassination cases on himself, and we also hope that he will solve the case soon." "The bustard inside talks a lot, don't bother with her, madam!" "Don't delay the time, madam, please come in quickly."

Chu Ji couldn't help but be very moved when she heard these words, she thanked the two of them again and walked inside.

Although it has not been open for a long time, there is still a strong smell of rouge powder in Cuihong Courtyard, and Chu Cheng has a sensitive sense of smell, so she can't help but sneeze loudly.

Her sneezing woke up all the girls in the Emerald Red Courtyard.

The old bustard lived in the tiled house in the backyard, twisted his chubby body, and greeted him with a surprised face, but when he saw that the person who came was Chu Cheng, he was stunned for a moment, and stood on tiptoe and looked back: "Is there no one else?" I thought that the government had solved the case and wanted to unseal the Cuihong Courtyard! ”

Chu Cheng didn't want to say more to her, but asked directly: "Which room is the house where Wu Guangbi died?" ”

The old bustard looked Chu Cheng up and down, waved his handkerchief, and said, "Who are you?" Why should I tell you? It's not an official or a grandfather, if you come to Cuihong Courtyard, don't you want to sell yourself? The skin is excellent, and although there is no business these days, you can come if you want. ”

The corners of Chu Hui's mouth twitched, resisted the urge to beat her violently, and took out a whole silver ingot weighing ten taels from her purse: "Oh, take me over." ”

Naturally, the bustard will not be awkward with money.

Her fat eyes narrowed with only one line left, took the silver ingot, and said in a flattering and kind tone: "That's good, I'll call Ying Yue too, you can ask her if there's anything." She held out her hand and rubbed her thumb and forefinger together, "Well, I need to give me more." ”

Chu Ji couldn't help but smile: "You can do business." After saying that, he touched a few more pieces of broken silver and sent them away.

In just a moment, the top girl of the emerald red courtyard, Ying Yue wore a pink narrow waist eight-torn skirt, holding the step tassel on the bun, Shi Shiran walked out of the backyard.

She dragged out her voice: "Who is looking for me?" ”

The old bustard glared at her: "If you don't pick up customers, who will you show if you are dressed beautifully?" Isn't this a waste of rouge gouache? ”

Ying Yue snorted, and ignored her: "It's wrong for me to dress up beautifully?" Mom, you're getting more and more picky. ”

The old bustard was accustomed to seeing her dead appearance, so he pointed at Chu Cheng easily: "Look at this guest officer, people look better than you without makeup, you say this in front of people, are you embarrassed?" ”

Only then did Ying Yue notice Chu Ji standing under the pillar.

The woman in the rabbit fur cloak is holding a light white light gauze hat in her hand. She looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was in a bun. A pointed melon seed face, light eyebrows from the distant mountains, bright eyes like a pool of green water, white and greasy complexion, even if the face is facing the sky, it is as beautiful as a spring. But for some reason, her face was serious, and the combination of this expression and her appearance had a special charm.

Such a good appearance, inviting the moon to be ashamed of himself.

Soon, she raised a smiling face, waved the silk handkerchief in her hand at Chu Hui, and brought a fragrant breeze: "The guest officer comes with me, and I will take you to Guerlain Pavilion, where the crime occurred." ”

Invite Yue can become the top brand of Cuihong Courtyard, not only because she can sing and dance well and has a soft figure, but also because she is smart.

This stall can still pass through the door guards and appear in the Emerald Red Courtyard to check clues, it must not be an ordinary person. It was precisely because of this that Ying Yue and Lao Bustard were extremely attentive to Chu Cheng.

Ying Yue led Chu Cheng upstairs, leading the way in front while explaining: "Since the death of that Lord Wu, I don't know how many people have come to Guerlain Pavilion, and they all want to find out the clues, but unfortunately, they can't find anything. ”

When Chu Cheng heard this, she was a little silent.

She estimated that she had also returned in vain.

Guerlain Court was around the corner, and the doorway was sealed, but it had already been opened once.

Chu Cheng pushed the door in, and her nose was filled with a bloody breath.

She had never seen Wu Guangbi's corpse, because after a simple examination, the corpse was sealed by Cai Gaoyi and his party from outsiders, saying that it was not to disturb Wu Guangbi's peace, so as not to report it to Taishi Chen and earn some reputation for herself.

Perhaps because of the Guerlain Pavilion's frontage on the street, it was only half a month, and a thick layer of ash was laid on this table.

Invite Yue walked to the window and raised her hand to point: "This place, according to those officials, is the place where assassins crawled in." She pointed to the inner room separated by the beaded curtain, "That round bed is where Lord Wu died." ”

Chu Cheng looked around and didn't find anything wrong.

The window was not closed, and Chu Cheng paced over, stretching her neck to look down. There are a row of shops facing the street, including antique shops, grain and oil stores, and shops selling pork.

Because of the cold weather, the few pedestrians on the street wrapped their clothes tightly and walked quickly.

Chu Cheng closed the window and asked, "There are no footprints on the windowsill?" ”

Hearing this, Ying Yue covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "It seems that the guest officer is not investigating the case with the government, and the only clue in this room is a ...... Oh no, half a footprint. ”

"Half?"

Ying Yue nodded, picked up the teapot on the table and shook it, there was still aged tea in it.

She raised her hand in water and drew a semicircle on the table, explaining, "That's pretty much it...... According to those officials, it is the shape of a heel. ”

Chu Hui's forehead twitched, a semi-circular heel, black and black, who knows if it is a man or a woman? Unless Xiao Lu doesn't grow his feet, he can clear his suspicions, but this is impossible!

After Ying Yue finished speaking, she pointed to the location of the windowsill by the way, "It was here when I found it, but it disappeared in a few days." ”

"Gone?"

Of course, you can't see anything with a heel print, but why can't you see it?

"I don't know." Ying Yue was also very strange, she sighed: "A few days after Lord Wu's death, many people entered this room, and they all brought me for interrogation, and my ears were calloused when I listened to those questions. Knowing that I am a girl in my family who is afraid of the dead, she always keeps asking and keeps making me reminisce, which is really boring! I was sleeping that night, I didn't know anything, I asked a hundred times, and I answered the same way! ”

After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips, hoping that Chu Cheng would not ask boring questions such as what happened that night.

Chu Cheng looked at her and knew that there was no need to ask.

Her gaze fell on the windowsill and narrowed slightly.

The part where the footprints disappeared was obviously thinner.

What does this mean?

Illustrating an ambiguous heel print that can be regarded as evidence at all, someone must be a thief and afraid of being found out, so they will erase this footprint while people are not paying attention!

Chu Cheng carefully probed the room for a while, but she didn't find anything useful except for the footprints that disappeared inexplicably.

But now she has guessed that there are people in the government who are inseparable from the real murderer.

Maybe...... Is it the real murderer?
