Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a long time before he had to leave.

Halfway through, he was stopped.

But Jin Jiuling was invited.

The visitor took Lu Xiaofeng to a small alley, but at the end of the alley, there was a small red door. The door was hidden, and a man was standing in the doorway.

Seeing them coming, this person immediately greeted him, smiled at Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "This is it, Uncle Lu, please come in." ”

Lu Xiaofeng rushed in, he just wanted to find Xue Bing as soon as possible now, he didn't care about anything else.

There are only two bungalows in the courtyard, and there are two people in the room, one is Jin Jiuling, and the other is a strange man.

Lu Xiaofeng asked rather disappointed, "What about Xue Bing?" ”

Jin Jiuling said: "From today's hour, the three thousand brothers under the Snake King have begun to look for Xue Bing for you, and they are also looking for the murderer of the Snake King. ”

Their method of finding people is very effective, because their brothers have penetrated into every corner of the city, and it can almost be said that they are dragnetting. Especially teahouses, taverns, inns, small shops, and even food stalls selling porridge and rice. Because these are the places where people are mixed and the news is the most.

They started with these places to inquire if there were any suspicious strangers lately.

Everybody has to eat and sleep. There was no one in the inn, and they asked again if there was any vacant house nearby for rent to strangers.

Three thousand good men in the market, inquiring about one thing at the same time, of course, will soon ask their eyebrows.

In fact, as long as you really make up your mind to find it, how can you not find a trace of it if you use a large number of people.

Jin Jiuling said: "At dusk today, they asked if there was anything wrong with this house, so they immediately sent someone here to investigate. At that time, I heard the groaning of a woman in the room, and those who came to inquire did not dare to act rashly, and went back to find another person, but there was no one here. ”

Although Lu Xiaofeng was still listening, his heart was already in turmoil, and he could only trust Jin Jiuling's judgment.

Jin Jiuling concluded: "There are all kinds of indications that there was once a woman living here, who was proficient in disguise, but she only wore red shoes.

Xue Bing had been imprisoned here, and the Snake King's brother had heard a woman's moaning in the room, so I guessed that the Xue girl might have been injured.

Her captors found that someone was probing the place, and when they knew that her whereabouts had been discovered, they immediately took her away.

This person was going to take Xue Bing away temporarily, and he was obviously in a hurry, so there were these traces left! ”

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "When did she leave?" ”

Jin Jiuling said: "Probably when it is not dark yet." ”

At that time, Lu Xiaofeng was on the road and was about to go to the West Garden to go to the appointment, and the "old woman" who sold fried chestnuts with sugar had not yet appeared.

It is likely that she took Xue Bing away and then went to the West Garden. She probably rented this house.

Jin Jiuling took out a small red satin purse from his sleeve: "This is what I found from under the wardrobe, can you see what is inside?" ”

Inside the purse was a pack of brand-new embroidery needles!

The same embroidery needle used by the embroidery thieves.

Jin Jiuling said: "These embroidery needles are made of refined steel, which is different from ordinary ones, I have already made a comparison, and they are exactly the same as the embroidery needles used by the embroidery thieves." ”

"Is there any quenching on it?"

"Nope."

Jin Jiuling said again: "She left those living mouths, maybe she wanted those people to prove that she was not a woman, but a bearded man who could embroider, so as to mislead us." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "She doesn't have to kill them. ”

Jin Jiuling said: "Do you think it is possible that she is Jiang Qingxia?" ”

"No, it's completely impossible!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Although Jiang Qingxia's martial arts are not weak, they are far behind her!" ”

Jin Jiuling said: "Do you think Jiang Qingxia is her subordinate?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng nodded.

Jin Jiuling said: "Jiang Qingxia is also a celebrity in the rivers and lakes, and she is very proud, how can she be willing to be controlled by her?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because she is much stronger than Jiang Qingxia in everything, I have never seen a woman with such high martial arts and such fierce and cunning martial arts in my life!" ”

Jin Jiuling was moved: "Have you seen her?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "Not only have I seen her, but I almost died in her hands!" ”

Jin Jiuling said: "How did you meet her?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It was the clue found on the snake king that led me to the West Garden to go to the appointment." ”

Jin Jiuling said: "Go to the appointment? What kind of date was that? ”

Lu Xiaofeng let out a long sigh: "That's really a terrible date!" ”

Jin Jiuling said: "Who is she?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know, I only know that she is also wearing a pair of red shoes." ”

Jin Jiuling frowned and said, "What kind of person is she?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know." ”

Jin Jiuling was even more strange: "I've seen her, but I don't even know what kind of person she is?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You also said that she is a master of disguise, and she pretended to be an old woman when she saw me." I have already determined that the Snake King was indeed killed by her, and Xue Bing was also taken by her. ”

Jin Jiuling asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure she said that?" ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes, that's how she answered me." ”

Soon, news came that another suspicious house had been discovered. The two rushed over and found it very similar to this place.

Lu Xiaofeng was very disappointed, the two places were almost the same, there were no more clues here, they ran away in vain.

No, in the end, there was something to gain, to find a box in the stove.

Jin Jiuling opened the box, but he was poisoned and fainted, but fortunately it was not fatal.

But new clues were also discovered.

There are eight Zhong Ding inscriptions carved on the lid of the box: "Leave it to Ah Tu, and he will return." ”

She was saying that she would give something to Atu, because Atu was about to go back.

"Who is Atu?"

This Ah Tu is surprisingly easy to find, and he is a beggar who often asks for food at this alley.

Lu Xiaofeng arranged for them to seek medical treatment and detoxification for Jin Jiuling, and he personally went to track down a person named Ah Tu.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng's chase actually chased Atu for a day and a night without eating or drinking, lest he lose Atu.

It wasn't until dusk the next day that Ah Tu stopped and entered an elaborate courtyard.

Lu Xiaofeng guessed that this was probably the stronghold of the red shoes, and even the nest was possible.

Ah Tu seemed to be very familiar with this place, and went directly to the small building in the courtyard and climbed upstairs.

There didn't seem to be anyone upstairs, there was a table of very delicate wine and food on a private room, and there were eight pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Who is he waiting for, eight pairs of chopsticks, is he waiting for the other seven people? Is there a princess in it?

On the opposite side of the small building, there is a large ginkgo tree, with lush branches, facing the upstairs window.

Lu Xiaofeng hid in the tree, ready to wait for everyone to arrive to find out what the red shoes were.
