Of course, Shen Yinqiu can't be very sure, everything is just speculation, and he needs to be investigated and confirmed before there can be a result.

It's just that she still has a big question, "Shizi, human skin...... The knife starts from the front, can it be peeled well? ”

Wan Qiyan really doesn't understand this aspect, imagine that most of them are slowly cut with a sharp blade, and then ripped apart little by little? Oh, the picture is a bit unappetizing.

He motioned for Shen Yinqiu to continue, and Shen Yinqiu did not shy away from saying bluntly: "At present, I only know three peeling techniques, one is the knife cutting method, which is easier to cut with less meat and less fat along the back; the second is asphalt, which is burned and poured on the person, and after a while, it is cooled and solidified and beaten with a hammer, and the asphalt and the human skin will fall off together; The third is to open a cross knife on the forehead and put mercury. Of course, the two methods do not meet the requirements, the murderer uses the knife cutting method, but why does he only peel the front and not the eyes? ”

Wan Yanyan's hand holding the teacup shook, almost shook the tea out, took a deep breath before asking, "Where did you know all this?" ”

Qingzhu also had to look at her again and again, thinking it was an embroidered pillow, but it turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing! Terrible woman, skinning people is so well studied......

Shen Yinqiu didn't feel inappropriate, and said frankly: "I read it in the book." ”

"In the future, don't read these books again, go home and throw them away." Wan Qiyan stared at her innocent face, and the bloody and cruel punishment came out of her mouth at will, it was too disobedient.

Shen Yinqiu: "......" Should she shut up, don't make this lord unhappy at this time, she nodded obediently, and continued: "I'm still curious, what is the use of the other party's skinning, collection?" It's not a complete human skin. ”

Qingzhu couldn't bear it anymore and whispered: "Who would be so perverted to collect human skins." ”

"It's hard to say." Shen Yinqiu didn't look at Qingzhu squarely, "I can't think of the purpose of the murderer's skinning, there is one less breakthrough, let's send someone to investigate the wood-related places first?" ”

Wan Qian Yan said: "Send someone tomorrow, now you empty your head and go to the lantern festival first." ”

Shen Yinqiu looked out of the door, the red lantern light reflected in his eyes, the sky had indeed darkened, and the flow of people on the street began to increase.

Now there was something to think about, she got up and said, "You're right, let's go out!" ”

Qingzhu went to settle the bill, and as soon as Shen Yinqiu walked out of the door of the teahouse, his left hand was held by Wan Qiyan, "There are many people, so as to prevent being crowded." ”

Shen Yinqiu nodded, grabbed his hand and said, "Follow me!" ”

Wan Qianyan; “……”

She led Wan Qiyan to walk in front, all the lanterns sold along the side on both sides were lit, and Shen Yinqiu didn't buy any of them, but she had to admit that their craftsmanship was very good, and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl holding hands on the lanterns were painted vividly.

Of course, it is not only the lanterns that are sold, even the flowers are tied with silk ribbons and sold in bunches, and under the red light, the flowers are sprinkled with water, and they are bright and dripping. There are also concentric knots of various colors, rouge, and even fans!

Shen Yinqiu said silently: "Who will buy a fan in the winter." ”

Wan Qiyan stopped in front of the flower stall and picked up flowers with interest. Of course, it won't be a precious variety, but it's mostly wildflowers that are picked and matched with colors, and it's really good to look at.

He heard Shen Yinqiu's words and told her: "Except for lanterns tonight, everything that can be given away is very easy to sell, as long as it is suitable for sending, it will occupy a place." Look, this flower is also good, do you like it? ”

Shen Yinqiu retracted his gaze from elsewhere and looked at the bouquet of flowers in Wan Qiyan's hand, "It's good-looking, it's not as fun as what you grow in your yard, if you want to buy it, I won't help you get it." ”

Wan Qiyan put the flowers back in their original place, originally wanted to buy them for her, what was the point of her not buying them. "You can take it to play in the yard if you like, you're welcome."

"Hey, I'm not polite, I feed the little white pastry every day, and it eats whatever I eat."

Qingzhu remembered that Qianyun carefully cleaned up the pot of flowers every day, and suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth and was silent, Bai Hua didn't die because of his tenacious life.

Although there was only one pot of devouring flowers, Wan Qiyan didn't say a word when she saw her so bad, and even asked her to prepare everything for her to have fun.

The two of them left under the resentful gaze of the flower vendor, and they didn't buy a single flower after looking at it for a long time!

Shen Yinqiu came to another stall, which mainly sells pendants and concentric knots, she looked at them one by one, took off a concentric knot that was also spherical, and played: "Although it is somewhat similar to the shape I knitted for you, I don't make it as fine as this, this one is beautiful." ”

The stall owner is a lady, and when she heard it, she boasted: "The girl has a good eye, this is the most popular concentric knot now, in addition to this color, there are others, if you like it, let the son next to you buy one, how good a match the two of you stand together!" It's a match made in heaven, and the son looks at it is also extravagant, hurting the girl, a concentric knot is not expensive, just five copper plates, the price of a few steamed buns, one of the two of you, a total of nine copper plates for you, meaning that the relationship lasts forever. ”

This eldest lady is really good at talking, Shen Yinqiu smiled sweetly at her, and the eldest lady was also happy, so she almost packed them up. She listened to Shen Yinqiu say to the man beside her: "It's time to prove that you love me, can you buy it?" ”

Just when the eldest lady was full of joy and was about to collect the money, Wan Qiyan said gently: "Don't buy it." ”

Auntie: "...... Ha?? ”

Shen Yinqiu said twice, happily put down the concentric knot and said, "Count you as acquaintances." ”

"If you make it up yourself, no matter how good it is, it can't be compared." Wan Qiyan was full of pampering and took her away.

The eldest lady was thundering, and looked at the two of them leaving in a daze, what kind of person is this...... If you don't buy it, you can still show it! Bullying her alone?

She swept it casually, and saw the flower vendor on the opposite side looking at her with sympathy and shaking her head and sighing.

Shen Yinqiu laughed, "Wouldn't we be unkind?" ”

"Will it?"

"No, because we saw that there was no one in front of them, we went up to send hope." Shen Yinqiu shook his hand and found another stall selling candy.

She asked the old man, "Grandpa, are you sweet sugar man?" ”

The old man didn't seem to have been asked this question for a long time, and after a pause, he said kindly: "It's very sweet." ”

Shen Yinqiu: "I don't like to eat sweet. ”

Grandpa: "......" He shouldn't have offended this little girl?

"Grandpa, can you give me a not-so-sweet sugar man? The best that doesn't stick to your teeth. Shen Yinqiu pointed to a wooden stake.

The old man seemed to be a little unable to react, and he was about to start making a candy man before he woke up: "You can put a little sugar, but the maltose is a little sticky." ”

Shen Yinqiu said that enough was enough, and said with a smile: "Okay, you just put less sugar." ”

It didn't take long for the old grandfather to make the candy man, Shen Yinqiu took it over and looked at it at the mountain and was very satisfied, "How much is grandpa?" ”

"A copper plate."

Shen Yinqiu counted out ten copper plates, just stretched out his hand, looked behind the old man with a look of surprise and asked, "Huh?" What is that? ”

The old man turned around cooperatively, Shen Yinqiu Hula threw ten copper plates into the empty keg on the side, and then with an oops, he looked like he lowered his head to pick up the copper plates, and then he got up and took one out and handed it to the old man, and left with the candy man.

Wan Qiyan watched her act throughout the whole process, it was not easy to turn into a cold candy person, and Shen Yinqiu was not in a hurry to eat, but held it to play.

He casually asked, "Why are you the only one who takes care of the old man?" ”

Even for them, it doesn't matter if they lose their usual copper plates, but after three stalls in front of them, she didn't give any reward. And Qingzhu once told him that she casually rewarded her subordinates with one tael and one on one, and once the coachman drove her and gave her five taels directly.

Shen Yinqiu tilted his head to look at him, "Do you have to have a reason?" Seeing that he was wearing thin clothes, his face was full of vicissitudes, and his eyes were sick, he gave it if he wanted to. She said, still thinking that this sugar man would be sweet, and very happily stuffed it to Qingzhu, but Qingzhu didn't dare not take it.

Wan Qianyan: "I even noticed that there was a disease in my eyes." ”

"It shouldn't have reached the point of blindness, but it's almost there, the old man is still working so hard when he's old - it's pitiful, and it's embarrassing for him, so it's okay."

Shen Yinqiu went down the street, and when she saw a stall that no one patronized, she went to flirt, anyway, Wan Qiyan was very cooperative with her. As the night deepened, the streets began to become crowded, and although it was not yet to the point of rubbing shoulders, it was no longer cold to feel in it.

Now no matter what the stall sells, there will be people patronizing it, Shen Yinqiu looked around and found that there was a stall surrounded by a lot of people, and from time to time there would be laughter, she pulled Wan Qiyan's sleeve and stepped forward and said, "Look what they play again." ”

Without waiting for her to get closer, Wan Qiyan said: "There is a guessing activity at every lantern festival, and if you guess it, you will send a lantern." ”

Shen Yinqiu didn't think it was strange, but he couldn't find something interesting for a while, so he stepped forward to see what the riddle was.

Youqingzhu secretly opened the way for them, and soon took the lead, Shen Yinqiu looked at the lanterns on these people's shelves, and sighed, "These lanterns are not paper paste, they are different from others." ”

The seller is a young man, not outstanding, ordinary with a little bookish anger, Tsing Yi Confucian shirt, heard her speak, looked at her, stared for a while before smiling politely: "Miss has good eyesight, this is a kraft paper washed with high-quality water slurry, more tough than ordinary paper, and more durable." While other lanterns are sturdy and heavy, they are much lighter and brighter than others. ”

Shen Yinqiu touched one of the lanterns with his hand, and as soon as he touched it, the scholar said, "Then ask the young lady to guess the riddle of this lantern."

"Huh?" Shen Yinqiu didn't understand, Wan Qiyan stepped forward and turned the lantern around, "He means that which lantern you touch is equivalent to you solving that riddle." ”

There are only four words on the back of the lantern: a thousand words.

Shen Yinqiu looked back at Wan Qiyan and asked, "Is this a word guess or a guess what?" ”

"Words." The scholar took the lead.

Shen Yinqiu glanced at him, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere, but he was not impressed.
