"I was really blind at the beginning, and I wanted to take such a broken position, thinking that no one would dare to make a mistake at the foot of the imperial city. Now there are people who dare to blatantly kill people in the capital of Shangqiu, isn't that breaking ground on Tai Sui's head? The emperor dared to ...... as soon as he succeeded to the throne I'm afraid it's not a character to mess with!"

Zhao Wuwu, who had not yet walked in outside, listened to Cao Fuyin's self-talk. In fact, although what he Cao Pan said was a bit vulgar, it was not unreasonable, since the perpetrator dared to blatantly throw the corpse on Suzaku Street, the avenue leading to the imperial city, this purpose was ...... Thinking of this, he suddenly shook his head to himself.

That's it, before the truth is revealed, all reasoning can't stand scrutiny, I hope it's just that he thinks too much for a while!

Here, Cao Fu Yin saw Zhao Wuwu walking in from outside, and quickly got up from the ground in one go, patted the dust on his body, and his gloomy face was instantly full of smiles.

"Oh, Zhao Gongzi, you can come back! This early morning case will make you tired, I'll quickly ask the kitchen to prepare some morning tea and pastries for you, or will you go into the house to rest?"

Zhao Wuwu didn't know what to think, and couldn't help but sneer.

"There's no need for morning tea, Lord Cao, you better keep it for a while and enjoy it slowly. It's just that I'm a little surprised, I didn't expect you to have a strong ability to bear it, and you have such a special habit...... Admire it below!"

Zhao Wuwu hugged his fists and bowed, then turned around and walked towards the morgue, leaving only Cao Fuyin there with a blank face. He always felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong?

Wait, the smell that just wafted from the yard seems to be ...... He immediately threw up on the edge of the tree, his location was just downstream of the wind, such a heavy corpse gas wafting around, let alone eating, smelling can make people nauseous.

In the morgue, after looking at the corpse in detail, he habitually washed his hands and wiped them.

"See the silver needle on the table, it was taken out of her hair. The old man has been a servant for so many years, but he has never seen such a vicious method as a lethal shot. I don't know who would do such a cruel thing to a little girl, and it would be terrible to let this vicious murderer go unpunished!"

Zhao Wuwu picked up the silver needle through the cloth and looked at it carefully, but he still didn't have any clue.

He had already asked everyone present on Suzaku Street, but no one saw how the body came from, only that it was already there when it was found. This means that someone left the body there in the middle of the night, and the gates were closed at night, and the murderer may have been in the city.

Outside, Zhou Yong ran in sweating profusely, he swallowed his saliva and kept panting.

"Boss, this girl's identity is checked...... It was found that it was the second girl of Li Yuanwai's family at the east end of the alley, and it was said that she went to the temple to offer incense two days ago, and then disappeared. There is also bad news, the person we went out to inquire came back and said that the only daughter of the Wu family on the other side was also missing yesterday!"

Another girl is missing, could it be that she wants to kill people in a row? Zhao Wuwu faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Although the officials repeatedly explained to the people at the scene of the crime, they could not spread the news of the murder at will, so as not to cause unnecessary panic. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and there are always some people who love to chew the root of their tongue and spread the word in a few words in private.

This spread ten, ten to hundreds, and within a few days, the murder case and the woman's missing case were full of turmoil in the city.

The people have rumored that there are demons and evil spirits that harm those women who have not yet left the cabinet, which makes the daughters of each family panic.

However, at this time, some people began to slowly become active in Shangqiu City. If you want to say that business is suddenly booming at this time, it is the Taoist priests who practice writing talismans, and the incense that is burning more and more in the temple.

Zhao Wuwu felt that these people could be the first objects of suspicion. However, there was another thing that surprised him, that is, the location where the body was found was directly opposite a rouge gouache shop called Banxianglou.

To say that the strange thing is that his family's business is still endless, it stands to reason that the most taboo for everyone is to be contaminated with bad luck and affect the luck, but this taboo seems to be completely absent in the eyes of the girls who entered the store.

Zhou Yong received the order to ask for clues, and in order to avoid the noisy crowd, he deliberately chose to go to investigate in the evening.

Knocking on the door of Banxianglou, the door was greeted by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman, dressed in aqua blue plain clothes, and her fair face was full of innocence and immaturity.

Zhou Yong has always been a heartless person, when he saw that the door was opened by a little girl, before anyone could speak, he came up and asked her: "Where is your adult?"

He looked at the girl's face full of doubts, thought for a while and added: "It's your family manager, I am from Xiping Mansion, and I have something to ask your family manager if I have something to ask for official business." ”

The girl finally understood the purpose of Zhou Yong's coming, and immediately opened the door and raised her hand to salute.

"The little girl Yun Ying has seen the official mission, my son-in-law has been out for more than half a month and has not returned, and now I am temporarily acting here, if you have something to ask me, you can ask me. Come in and sit down, and I'll make you a pot of tea." ”

Entering the door of the semi-incense building, there is a fresh and elegant scent of incense powder, which is obviously mixed with each other but blended with each other. After taking a gentle breath, there is still an aftertaste lingering in my heart, evoking a trace of softness in my heart.

Zhou Yong couldn't help but shake and tried to sober himself up. A good old man actually reveled in the smell of incense powder, so that the few people in the yamen knew that they had to laugh him to death!

"Your Excellency, you've been waiting for a long time. ”

Yun Ying came out of the back room, brought tea and snacks and put them on the table, and added tea to his cup before sitting down to take a breath.

"I don't know what you want to ask, my lord, the little girl must know everything. ”

Zhou Yong had been running around all day because of the case, and he was really a little thirsty when he thought about it, so he picked up the tea on the table and drank it all.

"Actually, it's just a routine inquiry, I remember that your family is also a century-old shop, and our boss wants to know, why is your family's business not affected by that case in the slightest? Oh yes, it's the body that was thrown in front of your house a few days ago. ”

"It turns out that the adults want to ask about this, in fact, this is nothing, in recent days, we are frequent visitors to Banxiang Building, speaking of which the flow of customers is still less than in the past. ”

Yun Ying got up and refilled Zhou Yong's tea, and continued: "Our shop is all rouge gouache commonly used by girls and ladies, and they are also a little scared in the past few days. My family has always had a habit of giving a sachet every time a guest comes to buy, which has a calming effect and can repel mosquitoes when worn often. Especially in the past two days, I also went to the Evergreen Temple to ask for a lot of evil charms to put into the sachet, so there are many customers who come specifically for this sachet!"

Yun Ying got up and went to the counter to get a sachet and handed it to Zhou Yong, she smiled and said, "If you don't dislike it, my lord, this sachet will be given to you." ”

Zhou Yong politely accepted it, after all, this is the season when there are many mosquitoes. Seeing that it was getting late, he asked a few more random questions and then got up to say goodbye.

After Zhou Yong left, Yun Ying looked at his distant back for a long time, until she saw him disappear at the end of the street, and then closed the door expressionlessly.
