Bai Qiurui's face suddenly turned red behind her ears, she never expected that Gu Yi was speechless.

What kind of Shen Yuan's insider, can this kind of joke be made casually?

Gu Yi smiled playfully, and rushed into the attic and shouted.

"Master Shen, your wife has arrived!"

This voice soared into the sky, and Bai Qiurui only felt that the entire small attic was shaken.

Bai Qiurui was really anxious now: "Gu Gongzi, this kind of joke can't be made casually. ”

Gu Yi waved his hand, and was about to speak, when a footstep suddenly came from the second floor of the attic.

Bai Qiurui also heard the voice, she had been standing obediently outside the attic at the moment, and she had not crossed the line to enter.

"Noise."

A cold voice sounded, and Bai Qiurui saw a white figure gradually walking towards her.

I saw Shen Yuan holding a rather old manuscript in his hand, frowning at the moment, looking at Gu Yi with a gloomy face.

The latter touched his nose and laughed: "Master Shen, don't look at me, the beautiful woman next to you is what you want to see." ”

Gu Yi made a gesture of invitation with both hands, and successfully pushed Bai Qiurui out, and indeed successfully diverted Shen Yuan's attention.

"White girl?"

Shen Yuan was a little surprised by Bai Qiurui's sudden arrival.

He looked at the guards on both sides of the attic, nodded slightly, and motioned for Bai Qiurui to come in.

With the permission of the highest commander of the Criminal Department, Bai Qiurui naturally walked into the attic without any scruples.

Gu Yi took advantage of Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan to take the lead in walking into the attic, and he still smiled at the two guards at the door.

"See, this is your Lord Shen's insider, you have to let it in when you see it in the future, otherwise the girl will run away, and you adults will be beaten for the rest of your life."

Gu Yi, who was whispering to the two guards, heard Shen Yuan's voice behind him.

"Gu Yi, close the door."

This cold voice made Gu Yi shudder, and he hurriedly responded.

"Oh...... Oh good. ”

Bai Qiurui followed Shen Yuan, walked through the tall and simple bookcases, and finally came to a table specially used to read and write.

"Sit."

Shen Yuan motioned for Bai Qiurui to sit down on his own, and then put the manuscript in his hand aside.

Quiet room, quiet two people, Bai Qiurui found that Gu Yi, who was the most active, actually didn't come in with him.

Shen Yuan picked up the green jade pot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Bai Qiurui, and then raised his eyes to look at her, looking like he was waiting for her to speak.

"Thank you Lord Shen for coming to the rescue several times before, and the little woman wants to thank you in person."

Bai Qiurui said the draft that she had typed several times in her heart, and then pushed the thank you gift in her hand in front of Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the small white wooden box in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his expression.

Bai Qiurui looked at the face of the person in front of her, and the expression was as if she never thought that she would come to the door to thank her.

"Lord Shen, what kind of expression do you have?"

Bai Qiurui couldn't help it, so she asked decisively.

Shen Yuan was very surprised, would he come to the door to thank him for saving him?

"Nope."

Shen Yuan quickly regained his previous look, but there was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows that could not be hidden.

In the next second, Shen Yuan opened the small box in front of him that looked quite delicate.

When the wooden lid was opened, there was a small ceramic bowl with a ceramic lid on it, and a white jade porcelain spoon in the small box.

Shen Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and his white and slender fingertips delicately took out the ceramic cup in the box.

Putting the cup on the table, Shen Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Qiurui, he vaguely smelled a wisp of sweet fragrance from the porcelain cup in front of him.

Open the lid of the porcelain bowl, and there are neatly stacked rows of snow-white squares in the white porcelain bowl, and there are some crushed almonds dotted on it.

At the same time, a fresh fragrance emanates from the porcelain cup, and the smell of the fragrance is very tempting. The pure fragrance of almonds, mixed with a hint of sweetness, makes people can't help but take a bite when they look at it.

"This is the 'almond tofu' made by a little woman, and the summer heat is getting up, so it's best to eat this."

Bai Qiurui briefly introduced her 'thank you gift', and finally she motioned for Shen Yuan to try it.

This was probably the first time that Shen Yuan had received a dish as a thank you gift in his life, and he looked at the delicate little woman in front of him, and his mood was inexplicably happy.

According to Bai Qiurui's words, he took out a white porcelain spoon from the box and scooped a small white and soft square.

Holding the spoon in front of him, Shen Yuan glanced at it curiously, and then looked at Bai Qiurui involuntarily.

This action made Bai Qiurui inexplicably wonderful, her clear eyes turned slightly, and then she spoke.

"Is Lord Shen afraid that I will poison it?"

As soon as she spoke, Shen Yuan shook her head and said, "No, it's just habitual to take a look." ”

Bai Qiurui: "......"

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he put the almond tofu in the spoon into his mouth.

The tender almonds are silky smooth in the mouth, melting in your mouth with a gentle sip. The sweet fragrance fills the mouth, as if the boredom in the heart will also be swept away.

Shen Yuan took a bite and looked at his expression as if it tasted good.

"The white girl is a wonderful cook, thank you for the gift."

Shen Yuan's expression was pleasant, and his words were not as cold and alienated as usual, but more gentle.

Seeing this, Bai Qiurui smiled and said, "I wanted to give some side gifts, but thinking of the identity of an adult, no treasure is a treasure, so I had to make some snacks to cool off." ”

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and was about to speak, but saw that the little woman beside him seemed to have something to say.

Seeing her look of 'I have something to say, but I don't know how to speak', Shen Yuan took the lead in talking.

"If the white girl has anything to say, you can say it bluntly."

The main owner spoke, and Bai Qiurui no longer hid.

She mainly wanted to know about the case of Ning Wangfu, but it was too obvious that it was not easy to show it.

She hadn't forgotten that Shen Yuan's curiosity about her before was very suspicious of her purpose in investigating the case.

But now this matter is a matter of her own life, and she can't ignore it.

So, Bai Qiurui hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Little girl, I really have something to say." ”

Facing Shen Yuan's deep and calm eyes, Bai Qiurui bit her lip flap and tentatively spoke.

"Dare to ask Lord Shen, can you tell me about the case involving King Ning."

Bai Qiurui said it in one breath, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Shen Yuan.

It seems that every time she comes over, she asks about the case in Kyoto.

Bai Qiurui had an illusion that she seemed to be more serious and dedicated than Shen Yuan, the secretary of the criminal department......

Bai Qiurui was thinking wildly in her head, and then she found that Shen Yuan had not replied.

Quietly raised her eyes and saw that the other party was looking at her. The dark eyes stared straight at her every move, and a smile rose on her lips.

"What are you laughing at, Lord Shen......"

Bai Qiurui was like a child who was being looked at in her heart, and she felt that her face was a little hot.

This man must have thought that her gift and thank you were fake, and that it was true to find out the case.

Although, this is indeed the case......

But he can't stop being so obvious!

Bai Qiurui thought about it randomly, but she had a feeling in her heart that Shen Yuan should tell herself all the details of the case this time.

"The white girl said it was a gift today, but now I'm afraid that the drunkard won't be in the bar."

Shen Yuan opened his mouth lightly, and before the words fell, he stood up and casually picked up the quaint manuscript he had placed beside him before.

At this point, Bai Qiurui no longer beat around the bush, she followed Shen Yuan to stand up.

"It's about the little girl's marriage contract, and I ask the adults to tell the truth."

This was the first time Bai Qiurui had made such a sincere request, and when she saw Shen Yuan standing up, she was afraid that he would directly issue an eviction order and drive herself out.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuan didn't make any moves, but stood in place, looked into her eyes and asked.

"Does the White Girl want the marriage contract of the palace to be affected, or does she want the marriage contract to not be affected?"

Shen Yuan's question was meaningful, and Bai Qiurui couldn't understand it for a while.

This person's expression seemed to hide something, faintly suppressed in his eyes.

Turning her eyes slightly, Bai Qiurui said: "I think that the adults have worked hard to handle the case, so this thank you gift can be regarded as compensating the adults for their hard work." ”

"I also hope that adults ...... 'do more work' and investigate the case well."

The latter sentence was said by Bai Qiurui through gritted teeth.

She didn't believe that Shen Yuan didn't understand what she meant, obviously the last time she was in the dungeon with this man......

Thinking of the events of that morning, Bai Qiurui's heart couldn't help but shake, and she suddenly felt a little hot on her face.

However, in the next second, she saw that Shen Yuan's eyes were still looking at her, and she immediately glared at the man with slight disgust.

This time, Shen Yuan didn't speak again, he took the old manuscript in his hand and glanced at Bai Qiurui, then turned around and walked towards the second floor of the small attic.

Bai Qiurui followed him to the wooden staircase on the second floor, and saw the man climbing the stairs, she was just about to follow, but she remembered that this was the important place of the Criminal Department, so it was better to stay obediently.

Shen Yuan walked to the corner of the second floor, but he didn't hear the footsteps behind him. He tilted his head slightly, and saw the little woman looking at him at the top of the stairs.

At this moment, Shen Yuan inexplicably felt that such a Bai Qiurui was extremely well-behaved, and even had a trace of grievance.

A smile flashed in his eyes, and Shen Yuan spoke, "Come up." ”

He knew that this little woman had always been cautious, and even if she was a little careful, she would not look at some private case files in a timely manner.

Getting Shen Yuan to speak, Bai Qiurui was a little surprised.

Judging from the rigor of the guards outside this small attic, Bai Qiurui knew that there must be a lot of obscure criminal records stored inside.

I thought that Shen Yuan would mind her following, but I didn't want to worry about it now.

Thinking of this, she answered and stepped onto the wooden staircase.

When she followed Shen Yuan to the second floor of the attic, Bai Qiurui discovered that there was something else in the small building where the execution case file was released.

The second floor as a whole looks like there are fewer bookshelves than the first floor, about half.

The smell of books and ink wafted through the air, and the small attic was sheltered from light, with only two windows open on the first floor. There are windows on the walls of the second floor, but I don't know when, they have been sealed.

There wasn't much light coming in, the room on the second floor was slightly darker as a whole, and with only two people inside, the sound of every move was amplified several times.

When I walked to the bookshelf, I saw that each layer of the bookshelf was clean and neatly arranged. Some books are even stored in elaborate covers and boxes, which are very important information at a glance.

Bai Qiurui only glanced at it hurriedly, she followed behind Shen Yuan, she didn't squint at every bookshelf she passed, and she didn't even dare to look at the corner of her eye.

After all, she herself is an outsider, and if she can come in, she still has to avoid suspicion.

Shen Yuan was tall and tall, taking the lead in the front, Bai Qiurui followed behind him, and all he could see was his slender and upright back.

Today he wore a white brocade robe, with wide sleeves and a graceful arc with his steps, and black brocade boots on his feet.

One thing to say, this man is really good-looking just looking at his back.

It wasn't until he followed Shen Yuan all the way to the innermost part of the second-floor bookshelf, a special bookshelf embedded in the wall alone, which attracted Bai Qiurui's attention.

From the outside, this bookshelf is not only different from the rest of the bookshelves, but its material is actually made of iron. There were also many objects placed on the shelves around the shelves, among which a dagger caught Bai Qiurui's attention.

This dagger lay quietly at the height that Bai Qiurui could reach out and touch, and the whole was golden.

It doesn't look like it's made of pure gold, but it looks like it's made of metals like fine iron. The outer sheath is inlaid with five jade gemstones, which are luxurious at a glance.

Thinking that a dagger was not a confidential criminal case file, Bai Qiurui couldn't help but look at it twice.

At this time, she suddenly discovered that on the outer sheath of this dagger, there were a few faint dark red marks in the few gaps embedded with jade gems.

The red mark is so small that it is difficult to find if you sweep it at random.

At this moment, Bai Qiurui couldn't help but be a little curious.

Xu was because she knew that the current case of King Ning was related to the previous murder case of the ghost soldiers of the Qinglong Army, and what impressed her was that her father Bai Hong told her that there were dagger fragments left at the scene of the crime.

At the moment, when he suddenly saw a dagger in the attic of the Criminal Department where the file was stored, Bai Qiurui would naturally pay more attention.

Shen Yuan beside him seemed to be looking for some dossier on this special bookshelf, picked up a manuscript from time to time, read it twice, and put it back again.

Bai Qiurui's eyes at this time were completely attracted by the dagger in front of her, the more she looked at it, the more fascinated she became, and her mind kept flashing the clues of the dagger left at the scene of the crime that her father had brought up in the study at that time.

After staring at the dagger for a long time, Bai Qiurui suddenly reached out and grabbed the dagger lying quietly on the bookshelf lattice.

Seeing that she was about to touch the dagger, a slender and beautiful palm beside her grabbed her hand.

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Yuan's peculiar cold voice sounded, and Bai Qiurui suddenly came back to her senses.

Looking at it again, she didn't know when, and couldn't help but want to reach for the dagger on the shelf.

Fortunately, Shen Yuan found out and intercepted herself.

"I ......"

Bai Qiurui was a little confused, and she didn't know if she had been in the closed space for a long time, and when she saw the dagger, she wanted to take it and take a look.

At this moment, facing Shen Yuan's inquiring look, she couldn't answer for a while.

It can't be said that she was fascinated by a ghost for a while, and she didn't know what was wrong with her and wanted to take the dagger down?

Before she could come up with a good reason, she saw Shen Yuan speak.

"This dagger is ominous, if you like it, I'll give you another one."
