The smell is wrong!

Hauser was a little unsure.

simply got closer, and sniffed the two women up and down carefully in turn, sniffing Liu Lao and the catchers next to each other.

"What are you doing?" Hu Xiaodou whispered to Zhao Si and Wang Mazi next to him.

The two shook their heads with bewildered faces.

"Ouch, I'll go put some water first." Hu Xiaodou bent over, his face a little embarrassed. When I went out, I drank too much water, and I couldn't hold it back.

Hauser waved his hand and continued to think.

After a long time, squinting her eyes, she finally knew that there was something wrong with the smell.

The smell of the two murders in Xicheng District and Xiangquan Mountain is different!

The smell of the two women in Xicheng District is similar, with a greasy and fishy smell similar to long-term contact with raw meat, such as the smell of pork stalls in the vegetable market.

And the two women in front of her, at first, because the smell of blood was too strong, it covered up other smells, so that she didn't notice it too much.

But just now she sniffed again, and made sure that the two women did not smell of pork stalls, but she could distinguish another smell from the smell of blood.

Is that...... The taste of poppies touching porcelain bowls.

That she also smelled on Butterfly Fly.

But what does this mean?

The similarities in both cases were lip cuts, similar wounds on the body, and apricot blossom markings. It really looks like a perverted lewd thief serial murder case.

But why is there a significant difference in the smell of the corpses in the two cases?

What does the smell of the poppy touching the porcelain bowl that repeatedly attracted her attention represent?

As for the woodcutter's body, I really didn't find anything strange.

Hauser just intuitively felt that this matter was probably not as simple as it seemed. But I couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while.

"My lord, it seems that someone is spitting in the grass near this corpse." Hu Xiaodou pulled his pants and ran back.

He couldn't hold back his urine just now, and when he went to pee in the grass next to him, he accidentally found phlegm in the grass.

Hao Se frowned, followed Hu Xiaodou to the grass where the phlegm was found, and took a look.

The sputum was very viscous, the color was not right, and there seemed to be a faint streak of blood in it. According to her knowledge, such sputum generally appears in patients with certain lung diseases.

Could it be that the murderer had lung disease?

Is it an ordinary illness, or is it an occupational disease?

However, this phlegm may have been spit out by the woodcutter or it could be from the murderer, so it is difficult to judge.

After Hao Se asked Hu Xiaodou to keep all the evidence and record it in detail, he arranged for Zhao Si to find someone to transport the body back.

Together with the two corpses in Xicheng District, they were first sent to the Yizhuang designated by the government for parking, and then the family members were brought back for burial after a certain period of investigation.

Seeing that there was nothing to do on the mountain, Hao Se was ready to go down the mountain first, go back to the city to see the progress of Jiang Zhutou's investigation of Xicheng District, and then think about how to investigate this case.

Because he hurried up the mountain without eating lunch, Hao Se and a few catchers were a little hungry at the moment.

When passing by the Xiangquan Courtyard, Hu Xiaodou touched his rumbling stomach: "I'm starving, why don't you go to the Xiangquan Courtyard to ask for some pastries?" This Xiangsen annex is the production base of the dry taste pavilion. ”

Hao Se was a little surprised: "This Xiangquan Courtyard is for food?" ”

"Well, it used to be the Xiangquan Annex, which was a nobleman in Beijing, and later the nobleman disliked the trouble of going up the mountain, so he transferred it to the owner of the Dry Taste Pavilion to make the production base of various pastries and snacks in the Dry Taste Pavilion." Hu Xiaodou explained that he seemed to be very familiar with these.

"Which nobleman in Beijing?" Zhao Si's face was also bitter, he was the fattest among the servants, and the fat man was hungry faster.

"I heard my father say that it was the second prince Anwang." Hu Xiaodou swallowed.

"An Wang Jingjue?" Hao Se raised his eyes and looked at the Xiangquan Courtyard next to him, frowning.

Although she had never seen King An, she had heard of it. Because, the big man with broken sleeves, Zhang Shangshu, is King An's uncle.

"Hmm." Hu Xiaodou nodded.

"Why did you choose this place to cook food in this mountain, how inconvenient it is to transport it?" Hao Se felt a little strange, the general business houses that make food and everything else are done in the city

"Your Excellency, you don't understand this. The snacks of this dry taste pavilion are famous in the capital, and you still need to make a reservation if you want to buy them, and the price is expensive.

The reason why I chose this neighborhood is because only the mountain spring halfway up the Xiangquan Mountain can make an authentic taste of dry taste pavilion products. It is also known as Xiangquan Mountain because of this famous incense spring. ”

Hu Xiaodou said a long paragraph in one breath without pause.

"Xiaodou, pay attention to broken sentences when you speak." Hao Se smiled, this Hu Xiaodou, after saying it in one breath, she felt that she was hanging and listened to it in one breath, and almost didn't catch her breath.

Hu Xiaodou touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, the two dimples were deep, and the more he looked at it, the cuter it became.

"You make sense to say that. Okay, since the brothers are hungry, let's go to the Xiangquan Courtyard to ask for something to eat. Hauser made a quick decision.

A few arresters all showed joy, this official government is handling the case, go and rub some food, the steward of the Xiangquan Annexes will probably agree.

The group went directly to the Xiangquan Courtyard, and before they entered the courtyard, they smelled the fragrance of food.

Well, the smell of pastries, very fragrant and authentic, the whole yard is full of fragrance.

Speaking of the fragrance, Hao Se subconsciously inhaled again.

Alas, as soon as she smells it now, she reflexively wants to smell something similar to what a poppy touched a porcelain bowl.

However, the fragrance of this Kosen Annexin seems to be normal, and it is the taste of authentic high-end confectionery.

Although it is extremely fragrant, it is completely different from the poppy porcelain bowl that she has always found weird.

"Lord Steward, we are the fastest arresters in Shengdu Mansion to go up the mountain to investigate the case, we are hungry, and we want to come to Guibao Land to disturb us, I don't know if it is convenient?" The steady Jiang Zhutou was admitted to the hospital first, found the steward, and asked politely.

The steward looked out, and even everyone was dressed in Shengdu Mansion costumes.

"My lord's words, since it is the government to handle the case, the small people should do their part, but at this hour, there is no food in the kitchen, only pastries can be provided, and I hope that the adults will not dislike it, please inside." The steward warmly invited everyone into the outer courtyard and ordered people to serve snacks and tea.

"The cakes in the other courtyard taste good, if you don't dislike it, you can satisfy your ......hunger," the steward said in a very respectful tone.

Everyone thanked the steward, picked up the pastries and ate them, and praised the dry pavilion as they ate.

Hauser tasted it, well, the dim sum tasted really good. After eating a few pieces with great interest, the stomach that had been wronged for a long time finally did not rebel.

When Hauser asked if he could visit the pastry production, the steward politely declined.

Hao Se was not reluctant, although she did want to walk around the Xiangquan Courtyard to see if she found anything related to the case, after all, this murder case was next to the Xiangquan Courtyard, in case there was some connection.

But the steward refused, and she understood.

In ancient times, food and the like were exclusive secret recipes, so naturally they were reluctant to spread it, which was people's wealth.

After thinking about it, I just gave up, anyway, I can't come in a hurry, let's go back first.

After going down the mountain and returning to the city, everyone went back to the yamen to make records and archives, discussed the case together, and after making a lot of arrangements, they dispersed.

The group of officials sent out to investigate the case in Xicheng District in the morning are still in the process of investigation, so it is unlikely that there will be any progress tonight.

Hao Se rubbed his temples that were a little painful, stretched his waist, turned directly from the third hall of Shengdu Mansion, passed through the Donghua Hall, and walked back for a while to the backyard of the government, where the officials and officials stayed.

The officials of the Shengdu Mansion, except for the lowest officials who live in the backyard of the yamen, all have their own mansions outside.

So Hao Se is the only official who lives in the yamen.

But the Shengdu Mansion has always stipulated that except for the single room of the government officer, other small courtyards have to pay a certain fee.

Because Hao Se disguised herself as a man and did not have a mansion, she lived in an independent courtyard in the northeast corner, that is, her ancient low-rent house.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I met Jing Yi.

The moonlight is dim, the shadows of the trees are swaying, he is under a flower tree in the courtyard, looking at her with a smile on the corner of his lips, the low-key and luxurious black robe is fluttering in the wind, faintly rippling silver brilliance under the moonlight.

His face was hidden in the shadows of the flowers and trees, his sword eyebrows were flying sideburns, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised.

The eyebrows are long, the eyes are long, and the whole person shows a bit of Yixing and flying.

The thin lips, but the smile was a little uninhibited and a little evil, making his whole person look like the mandala flower at the moment, a little thrilling.

"Dog, this king has been waiting for you for a long time." Jing Yi looked at Hao Se condescendingly, as if he was very dissatisfied, and his slightly hoarse voice was slightly displeased.

The long shadow cast on the ground, enveloping Hauser.

Hauser measured his height and sighed slightly. Alas, she thinks she's pretty good in her own right. But in front of Jing Yi, she actually had a feeling of being a bird.

It's okay to grow so tall, why are you so tall? Hauser took two steps to the side, avoiding his shadows. Alas, there is no way, a tall man, with an oppressive aura.

"Hey~" Jing Yi reminded Hao Se that she hadn't answered his question yet.

Hao Se glared at him angrily: "How can a dog have such a good life as the prince, and he can hang a false title that does not work as the most senior white-collar worker." ”

"White-collar workers?" Jing Yi smiled and walked closer, and the shadow shrouded her again, "Dog, are you satirizing this king's white-collar worker?" ”

Hauser: "......"

Gua Wazi, this also understands.

"Come on, be jealous of me, I don't mind." Jing Yi smiled a little cheaply, reached out to pick a petal of apricot blossom that fell on her shoulder, and his movements were so natural that neither he nor she noticed anything wrong.

She's jealous of him! Hauser rolled his eyes and moved away from him again.

Jing Yi smiled, leaned over, and was very close to her face: "Do you want your master to help?" Puppies. ”

Hao Se leaned back: "Don't dare to work for the prince, the prince just needs to be the mascot of our Shengdu Mansion and try not to let people interfere with my fair work, I will thank you." ”

Jing Yi pressed her to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "This king has no time to pay attention to your." This king has been busy these days, and he came here tonight to bring you a message. ”

Hauser raised an eyebrow.

"The butterfly of Baihualou flies, please ask the bustard to find this king, and say that I want to invite you to Baihualou for a while, well, it probably means that I like your stick dance that day very much, and I want to ask you for advice."

Hao Se was slightly surprised, Butterfly flew to find her?

"Cut, why should I go to see Die'er Fei's little green tea." Hauser was dismissive.

The disdainful expression was halfway done, and Hao Se's head suddenly flashed, and he patted his head: "Go, I'll go tomorrow night." ”

The smell of the two female corpses next to the Xiangquan courtyard was exactly the same as the smell on Die'er Fei's body, although she couldn't think of any connection for the time being.

But her intuition told her that she had to see Butterfly fly.
