Chapter 21: The Ice Cellar

It turned out that in the early morning of Chen Tao's accident, Lin Kui, the shopkeeper, heard the sound and looked over in a daze, only to see a back, the person was about the same size and dress as Chen Xiaogongzi, but he didn't see his face, and he didn't care at that time.

Later, Chen Xiaogongzi had an accident and people were panicked, Sister Hong was quite happy to see Chen Xiaogongzi leave in the early morning, at least it had nothing to do with Yihong Pavilion, but later Lin Kui added that she didn't see her face, Sister Hong felt that more things were better than less, it should be Chen Xiaogongzi Undoubtedly, so she asked him to reply like that when he faced the inquiry of the Criminal Department...

At this time, Sister Hong and the guys were trying their best to explain, in the final analysis, they knew they were wrong, but they were innocent!

——

Yihong Pavilion has a lot of guests with special status, if it was other things, it would have been convenient for Mo Ziyu to leave first and come later, but at this time, everyone is not stupid, and they dare not say much when it comes to the two murders of the Chen Mansion, for fear of causing fire.

So there was a more funny scene, one by one the big men left through the back door, and some of them covered their faces with wide sleeves, which was really embarrassing.

In the spacious and bright hall, except for the green kite, all the girls and the people who work are all together.

According to Sister Hong, the green kite accompanied a certain master to swim in the lake last night and did not come back at night.

Mo Ziyu's eyes were not warm, and his patience was obviously insufficient: "Which master?" ”

Sister Hong hesitated, and finally reluctantly spoke: "It seems to be, the fourth prince." ”

No wonder, the other party was careful not to say that this identity was indeed unusual.

After a while, Mo Ziyu whispered a few words to Tianyi, and after Tianyi left, he asked all the girls to stand in line, not to talk to each other, and to be questioned one by one.

There is an Accord in the hall, and the sound insulation effect is good with a screen around it, and then Ling Lan met the girls of Yihong Pavilion here.

There is Mo Ziyu outside, and it is basically silent, although the girls are all blinded, and they don't know what the situation is when they are called from the warm and comfortable bed, but when they go downstairs, they see Mo Ziyu with a cold face, and they can only cooperate obediently...

At noon, everyone in Yihong Pavilion checked except for Sister Hong and Qing Kite. However, from Mo Ziyu's questioning gaze, it was obvious that she thought she was too fast, and suspected that she was perfunctory.

Ling Lan didn't explain, she had her own way, through micro-expressions and body movements, she could tell if a person was lying, or if there was something wrong with a few words, and these people were in a normal state, and it also provided some clues.

Sister Hong and Lin Kui were taken back to the Criminal Department first, although they always said that they were innocent, Mo Ziyu didn't buy it, and didn't say anything and let people take them back to "calm down".

Here, Ling Lan stayed on the last record, which was an eldest lady who worked in the kitchen. At that time, Ling Lan asked her if she knew that Sister Qiao suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain a few days ago, and the eldest mother nodded to indicate that she knew, and said that she was going to the ice cellar to get some broken ice at that time...

At the same time, Mo Ziyu strode closer, and was about to ask when she saw a stack of papers on the table in front of her, which was densely covered with words, but but, why didn't he know any of them?

For a moment, Mo Ziyu suspected that she was dazzled and misunderstood, and she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that what the other party wrote was not words, but pictures? But it's not like that.

Maybe it's because Ling Lan can't read, so she can't write, so she can only use special symbols instead?

After thinking about it, it wasn't like a symbol, it should be a word, but he didn't recognize it...

Ling Lan stood up suddenly, and found Mo Ziyu who was distracted nearby, automatically ignoring his complicated expression and whispering, "Ice cellar." ”

"What?" Mo Ziyu didn't hear clearly, raised his hand and touched his ear and took a step forward.

"It's an ice cellar, and there's an ice cellar in Yihong Pavilion."

Facing her excited voice, Mo Ziyu didn't know why: "Not only here, but also several other Fengyue places and big restaurants, what does it matter?" ”

Ling Lan's heart was stuffed, and she was also slow to react, she should have thought of it when she was in the cold room where the corpse was stored.

"Of course it does." She threw down this sentence and asked Sister Qiao to take her to the ice cellar.

The location of the Yihong Pavilion Ice Cellar is deep in the bamboo forest, and it feels very hidden, walking along a bluestone slab that slopes down for a long time, you can obviously feel the temperature gradually dropping, and finally stop in front of an iron door.

The light of the kerosene lamp was not very bright, and the visibility was extremely low at a depth of several meters underground, so Ling Lan didn't feel very good about it.

Sister Qiao stepped forward and pushed open the door, only to feel a cold aura coming to her face, Mo Ziyu didn't know when she had come to Ling Lan, and inadvertently blocked her behind her.

The ice cellar is not dangerous, but it is very cold, the area inside is not small, and it is composed of large ice cubes, which shine under the light of kerosene, and it must be below zero here, much lower than the temperature of the cold room of the criminal department. Walking a few steps inside, Ling Lan couldn't stop shivering, and she also understood why the temperature was so low, because there were a lot of ice cubes neatly placed inside, and according to Sister Qiao, they were all stored for summer use.

It's the middle of April outside, the temperature is about seven or eight degrees lower in the morning and evening, and the highest temperature during the day can reach fifteen or sixteen degrees, so Ling Lan's thin clothes naturally can't stand the cold, she is going to go out first and wear thick clothes before coming in, at this moment, the corner of her eye suddenly found that something was wrong, the traces on the surface of the ice cube in the left corner were obviously wrong, and it was not as smooth as other ice cubes...

Before she could see clearly, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a warm big hand, it was Mo Ziyu, and soon the man dragged her out in stride.

"Wait, don't drag me, Mo Ziyu, what are you doing?" Ling Lan's tone was anxious, there was definitely something wrong with the marks on the surface of the ice cube, it looked like, she wanted to take a closer look.

The man not only did not let go, but also increased the strength of his hands, and his steps also accelerated.

Ling Lan's resistance was ineffective, and she was taken out of the ice cellar all the way back to the bamboo forest outside.

Finally, her wrist was free, and she was about to ask why she had found out, when she suddenly couldn't stop sneezing...

Looking at her several big sneezes in a row, Mo Ziyu's face became even more ugly.

Sister Qiao was startled by Ling Lan's shout before, she had never seen anyone dare to talk to Lord Mo like this, no, it should be unheard of, and when she came out with fear, she saw that Lord Mo's face was gloomy and even more terrifying than before.

It seems, as if, it should be the change in mood after Miss Ling sneezed.

"Lord Mo, Lord Mo, can you go and get some thick clothes for Miss Ling?" She said tentatively.

If you take the clothes, they are all the clothes worn by the girls of Yihong Pavilion! Mo Ziyu hesitated.

Seeing that his eyebrows were stretched a little and wrinkled imperceptibly, Sister Qiao, who was not stupid, hurriedly said: "Master Mo, someone just sent a few lotus clothes upstairs yesterday, if Miss Ling doesn't dislike the small ones, go get them." ”
