There were two brocade guards standing outside Yunlai Buzhuang, and when they saw that it was Yuan Bin, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"I've seen a thousand households!"

Yuan Bin nodded slightly, and then ordered: "No one is allowed to enter without my order!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Qizhen walked into the scene of the crime with Yuan Bin, and when he looked around, the room was very empty, the cotton cloth on the container had been emptied, and the cash register was also empty.

There were three people lying on the ground, presumably the shopkeeper and two men.

"What did you find?"

Yuan Bin stepped forward and said: "According to the visit, this store has not been closed at night, as if it is waiting for someone. Judging from the scene, there was no trace of the door of the store being pried, and all the goods were emptied, indicating that the murderer had been prepared. Weichen thought that it should be an acquaintance who committed the crime, and this person was in Jingshi. ”

Zhu Qizhen turned around and asked again, "Fan Zhong, what do you think?" ”

Fan Zhongzheng squatted on the ground and finished examining the corpse, and said at the moment: "The neck bone is broken, there is no trace of a fight, one move kills, he is a master!" ”

Zhu Qizhen squatted down and looked at the bruises on the necks of the three people, and suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted from his nostrils.

"Fan Zhong, do you smell anything?"

Fan Zhong sniffed his nose vigorously and said blankly: "No! ”

Zhu Qizhen felt it carefully, the fragrance was faint, and it would be difficult to find it if he didn't often go in and out of various high-end clubs.

At this time, he suddenly realized something, so he asked, "Can you tell whether the murderer is a man or a woman?" ”

Fan Zhong and Yuan Bin glanced at each other, then lowered their heads and re-examined.

Yuan Bin was puzzled and said, "How can the emperor see that the murderer is a woman?" ”

Zhu Qizhen frowned and asked, "Is it really a woman?" ”

Yuan Bin replied: "Judging from the blue spots on the deceased's neck, the murderer's fingers are shorter and thinner, if he is not a woman, he is a half-grown child!" ”

Fan Zhong followed and asked, "Your Majesty, how did you find out?" ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't answer, but said, "Go to that store and have a look!" ”

The three of them came to the Fan Ji warehouse again, the situation here is similar to that of Yunlai Buzhuang, the person is dead, the goods are lost, the money is gone, and the modus operandi is almost exactly the same.

Zhu Qizhen squatted in front of the deceased, closed his eyes and felt it carefully, sure enough, among the messy smell of various goods, there was a faint aroma, judging from the experience of entering and leaving the club for many years, it should be from the same person.

Yuan Bin stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, have you found anything?" ”

"Remember yesterday......" Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "There is a courtesan in the private room next door to our dinner, have you checked?" ”

Yuan Bin nodded and said: "Back to the emperor, that courtesan is named Song Gu Xi, and she is the top card of Tingyu Pavilion in Rouge Hutong, and the minister has already sent someone to ask, this Gu Xi girl has not been out again since she went back from Dingxiang Building." ”

Zhu Qizhen thought about it for a long time, and always felt that there was something in it.

"Let's go, accompany me to listen to the music in the Rain Pavilion!"

"Your Majesty!" Fan Zhong hurriedly stopped and said nervously, "That kind of place...... Insecurity! ”

Zhu Qizhen asked rhetorically: "Isn't there the two of you, what's unsafe?" ”

"It's not that it's insecure, it's that ...... That ......"

Seeing that Fan Zhong wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Qizhen said impatiently: "Which one?" ”

"That's it...... Alas! Fan Zhong had no choice but to say truthfully, "If you go to that kind of place, you are easy to get the flower willow disease, you are a golden body, you must not go!" ”

Zhu Qizhen laughed angrily, shook his head and said, "I'll listen to a song, and I won't stay overnight!" ”

"Really...... Just listening to music? ”

"Yes, just listen to the music!"

Fan Zhong relieved himself and nodded: "That's okay, but you have to change your clothes." ”

Half an hour later, Zhu Qizhen and his entourage came to the door of Tingyu Pavilion.

At this time, he had changed into a blue brocade gown, wearing a scarf, and a folding fan in his hand, full of noble son-like appearance.

Fan Zhong and Yuan Bin followed behind them dressed as family members, always paying attention to the movements around them.

There were also more than a dozen Jinyi Guard spies scattered among the surrounding crowd, waiting for orders at any time.

I heard that there were two girls standing at the door of the Rain Pavilion, probably similar to Miss Men Ying of the clubhouse.

At this time, it was noon, and there were not many guests, so when the two girls saw someone coming, they hurriedly greeted each other with a smile.

"Childe, come in and sit down!"

Zhu Qizhen was not polite, and walked inside, it was still relatively deserted, only a guy who ran the hall was dozing off on the counter.

At this time, the curtain of the inner room was lifted, and it turned out that the old bustard heard the movement and greeted him with a smile.

"Childe hasn't been here for a while!"

Zhu Qizhen was stunned, have I been here before?

I only heard the old bustard continue: "Does the son have a familiar girl? We have a flower girl here, a merciful girl......"

Zhu Qizhen got straight to the point and said: "I'm looking for Song Guxi!" ”

When the old bustard heard this, he said with a smile: "Miss Gu Xi is our top brand here, and there are many guests who come inexplicably every day, so you have to make an appointment in advance......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen naturally understood what she meant, and beckoned behind him.

Yuan Bin took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it over, saying, "Do you still need to make an appointment now?" ”

"No, no!"

Seeing the silver, the old bustard suddenly smiled and said, "This son is upstairs, please!" ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and walked up the stairs, followed by Yuan Bin and Fan Zhong, and came to the second floor together.

The layout here was obviously much more elegant than the first floor, and the old bustard led the three of them to the door of a room and knocked on the door.

Immediately after, a voice came from inside.

"Who?"

"Gu Xi, a son-in-law has come to see you, come out and receive it!"

After a while, I heard a creak, and the door opened.

The woman inside was wearing an emerald green jacket and skirt, bowed her head and said, "Childe, please come in!" ”

Fan Zhong was worried that there was an ambush inside, so he took the lead in going inside, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by the old bustard.

"I'm sorry, this is the girl's boudoir, and it only accepts distinguished guests."

Fan Zhong said angrily: "What do you mean, I'm afraid that we won't give money?" ”

"Oops, I didn't mean that!"

The old bustard's eyes are thieves, and he has long seen that these two are just followers.

"Childe and girl sing about wine, talk about poetry, talk about Fengyue, if you two go in, wouldn't you sweep Childe's Yaxing? Why don't you just go next door and take a break, if you two are interested, we have other girls here......"

Zhu Qizhen was an anxious man, walked in directly, turned around and said, "You are waiting for me next door." ”

Fan Zhong was not at ease, and was about to speak, but he felt that Yuan Bin pulled his sleeve.

Just when he was stunned, he only heard Yuan Bin say: "Childe, we are waiting next door, what do you have to say, just shout at the door." ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Bin pulled Fan Zhong to the next door.

Fan Zhong asked, "Why don't you let me speak?" ”

Yuan Bin stood at the door of the room and listened, and then said: "Since the emperor said so, he must already have an idea in his heart, we are here to inquire about information this time, if the three of them pass, the other party will definitely be aware." ”

"But ......," Fan Zhong said anxiously, "There is no one around the emperor, and if something happens, it will not be enough to cut off your and my heads a hundred times!" ”

"We're staying here, there's also a Jinyi guard spy downstairs, don't worry, it'll be fine!"

Fan Zhong sighed and said, "According to me, just take the person and put him in Zhao Prison for trial, what can't be tried, do you have to let the emperor take this risk personally?" ”

"What you can think of, do you think the emperor can't think of it?" Yuan Bin criticized him, and then said, "This matter may involve Qing Yunbo, it's better to be cautious!" ”
