Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 8: Oiran Cocktail Party
Dali Temple, Fenglei Hall.
Hefei rubbed his eyebrows and looked at the information collected from the Mudanlou murder. The more he looked at it, the more he became worried. What he worried about was not how many people died in the case. He had handled the massacre of hundreds of people, and he was worried about the murderer. No clues were left, as if these people had been bitten to death by a poisonous snake.
"Is it possible?" Hefei asked himself.
The answer is absolutely impossible. Although these people were killed by poisonous snakes on the surface, there must be murderers behind the scenes. Otherwise, why only the people in the Peony Building died, but the residents next to them were not injured in the slightest, and they were all around the corner. Within meters, there is no shadow of a snake. These snakes, like an army, are well organized, clearly divided into labor, and orderly advance and retreat.
"My lord, what do you think should be done with this matter. After all, so many people have died, and the results cannot be found. I can't explain it to the above. Otherwise, write snake disease. What do you think?"
"Snake plague? The scope of the snake plague is too concentrated, right? It is only limited to the Peony Building? Are you all fools when the adults on it?" Hefei reprimanded coldly.
"But there are indeed no clues at all. How to investigate this case, I have no clue."
Hefei didn't answer his subordinate's question. He frowned and read the file from beginning to end. Suddenly, a detail caught his attention, "Except for the boss and the buddies, the people who checked in at the Peony Building last night had 28 people in the account book. Why are there only 25 corpses in this room? The inn should There are three others?"
"Report to your lord. According to the diners’ narrative last night and the identity of the corpse, there were actually three people. One was Qian Shuxiao, the young master of the Qian Mansion. He led a woman from outside the city to live last night. In Room No. 1 of Tianzi, there was another person named Ye Que, who also came to Luoyang to visit relatives from other places. But later, Qian Shuxiao and Ye Que left together, and the money for the house was kept under Qian Shuxiao’s name. It seems that I haven't returned all night."
"Qian Shuxiao? Ye Que?" Hefei said silently twice, "Where is another woman?"
"I don't know. I asked several diners who ate here last night. They all said that they hadn't seen her go downstairs. This woman is so beautiful that no one will remember it wrong."
"Is there a name registered?" Hefei asked.
"No, only Qian Shuxiao's name is on the housing registration, followed by a simple number "two"."
Finger tapped a few times on the desk, Hefei patted the table and stood up, "Check this Qian Shuxiao and Ye Que for me. I have a hunch that these two people have problems."
"By the way, you just mentioned the money house? Which money house?"
"House No.1 on Zhuque Street, the money house of Luoyang's first wealthy merchant."
"Understood, be careful, don't make trouble. Also, don't cause unnecessary troubles to Dali Temple. You must find clues to solve the case within three days and don't let Yushitai watch our jokes."
Hefei arranged everything here, and Ye Que also woke up from the practice and absorbed the spiritual power of heaven and earth. It was more refreshing and eye-catching than ordinary people’s sleep. The painting demon last night did not know that he was practicing in this landscape. After a long time, the gathered spiritual power is very abundant. If all of them are given to a martial artist, it will almost be enough to raise his rank.
Furthermore, Ye Que used the Spirit Stealing Array, and almost no spiritual power was wasted. Therefore, his realm was basically stabilized overnight, and Tianyuan also had a slight increase. I lied to the demon painting last night. In the final analysis, it was because Ye Que's body really didn't have a lot of energy that could be mobilized.
Can't solve it with one sword?
Then two swords!
"Boom boom boom."
"Boom boom boom."
A rapid knock on the door resounded through the Green Bamboo Garden of Qian Mansion.
"Is anyone in there?"
"Are you up?"
Such a loud knock on the door actually came from a woman.
Ye Que, who just woke up, frowned, "This Qian Mansion is also considered a wealthy family. Why are the maids and maids in the mansion so unruly? Does it take so much effort to knock on the door? The guest is not deaf, I told you last night. That Qian Shuxiao, he likes being quiet, he doesn't like being noisy."
Ignoring the rapid knock on the door, Ye Que slowly cleaned up his bed, then rolled up the landscape scroll on the table and placed it in the corner, carefully arranged his clothes, and then walked over to open the door. At this time, the door of the room was about to be knocked torn apart, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and the sound was getting louder and louder.
With a squeak, the door was finally opened, and almost at the same time, a figure plunged into Ye Que's arms.
Moving his feet, he subconsciously stepped away to one side. After countless battles, Ye Que, some of the brain's control over the body hardly need to think.
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
The clash of meat and the ground was accompanied by a scream.
Looking down and taking a closer look, it turned out that it was Miss Qian's painting and calligraphy that she rescued last night. Last night, I saw this woman with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary temperament. Look again at this time, sitting on the ground with his legs folded, rubbing his shoulders vigorously while grinning.
Just one glance, Ye Que understood why Qian Shuxiao would say categorically that his sister never touched the pen. Just listen to the fierce knock on the door this morning, this domineering sitting posture, this toothy temperament, I plan to hit directly without opening the door, so I am a female man. Let Ye Que say that this girl really shouldn't be called Qian Shuhua, Qian Shuba is pretty much the same.
Ye Que looked at Qian's calligraphy and calligraphy in a puzzled manner. He didn't speak but the meaning was obvious, "What are you doing?"
Glancing at Ye Que, Qian Shuhua said with full anger, "Don't look, help me."
Speaking, he really stretched out his hand to Ye Que, completely disregarding the provisions of whether men and women are allowed or not.
Ye Que won't take her hand. Most practitioners are perfectionists. He wipes a handful of soil on the ground. No matter how delicate he is, he will not take the initiative to help, "Get up by yourself."
"If I can get up, I will use your support." Qian Shuhua said loudly, "It hurts! Didn't you see that you fell? I don't know if I open the door, and knock so many times, you can't hear it?"
"I am not deaf."
"If you are not deaf, won't you open the door?" Qian Shuhua raised his brows.
Ye Que gently raised her foot and hooked, and the chair by the dining table fell firmly by Qian's hand, meaning that you can hold the chair up. As for why she just asked why she didn't open the door, Ye Que didn't bother to explain. .
Is it supported by a chair or with a hand? Qian didn't pick up the calligraphy and painting, so he got up on the chair. As soon as he got up and raised his hand, he patted Ye Que's shoulder, perhaps because the distance was too close, or perhaps because Ye Que hadn't expected it at all. This slap really made Qian calligraphy and painting photographed, "Thank you, yesterday. I’ve heard what Ah Xiao said about the night, it’s you who saved me. No wonder that during this period of time, I always feel tired and my wrists keep hurting. It turns out that I was bewitched by monsters and kept me drawing day and night. , Because this monster can figure it out, this lady..."
Qian Shuhua gesticulated more and more vigorously, but before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Que next to him, his expression getting more and more ugly.
Then I saw the gray palm prints left on Ye Que's shoulders. After comparing his hands, Qian Shuhua smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't pay attention, I didn't pay attention."
While laughing, Qian Shuhua said, "I'm here to express my gratitude."
"Your brother has already thanked him."
"He is him, I am me."
"Okay, then thank you."
I saw Qian calligraphy sneaking out a book from the sleeve of his clothes, and solemnly put it in front of Ye Que, "This is a secret book that I had spent a lot of money on. I originally wanted to use it myself. Yes, but I heard that you are a master of masters, so let's use it for you first."
"Well, this is enough sincerity." Qian Shuhua said confidently.
Ye Que glanced at the so-called cheats beside him, then turned around and left without saying a word.
"Hey, don't you want any cheats? You don't want to call Ye Que at all, it's so good for Xiaoxin." After talking about Qian's calligraphy and painting, he carefully put away the'cheat book' again, "Don't pull it down," It’s not rare for this lady to give it to you. I will give it to my sea of clouds, he will love it."
The moment Qian Shuhua put away his "Cheat Book", I saw four powerful characters on the yellow cover, "Peerless Cheat Book!"
As for Ye Que, I really don’t bother to take care of this wonderful lady, "Say I’m lack of heart and eyes? It’s ridiculous, idiots can see that this thing is definitely a lie~ IndoMTL.com~ Whose cheat book is the name of a peerless cheat book Are you kidding me!"
Just a few steps out, I met Qian Shuxiao who rushed over.
"Sir, it's okay to have a rest last night." Although Qian Shuxiao looked a little rushed, there must be something to do, but he greeted Ye Que first.
Thinking about Qian's calligraphy and calligraphy, who was just as crazy just now, Ye Que opened his mouth and said, "Not good."
Two words are considered dead talk.
"This..."
"Let's talk, what's the matter?" Ye Que was really uncomfortable with a smile while reading Qian Shu.
"The Oiran Cocktail Party will begin today. We have to go quickly. The road is a long way, and we need to take a boat. It may take some distance from Mr. wronged." Qian Shu said with a smile, taking out a red invitation card from his arms and handing it to Ye Que.
The light rain in the sky is as crisp as the grass, but the grass is near but nothing. The most benefit of the spring is one year, and it's a win over Yanliu Manhuangdu.
After the spring rain, Luoyang, the **** city, is so beautiful, the Luoshui outside the city is even more rippling, with green trees and safflowers on the shore, Qian Shuxiao and Ye Que are riding down a luxurious cruise ship, according to Qian Shuxiao. , This Oiran Cocktail Party was held at a different location each time. This time it was on an iron armored dragon boat on the lower reaches of Luoshui River.
When Ye Que got on the boat, the gate of the General’s Mansion was also opened. Ye Yunhai led a group of people galloping out of the mansion. He also held a red invitation card in his hand. There was also a boat on the shore of Luoshui. Waiting for him, there was a girl standing beside the boat, her smiles and smiles to her bones.
Thousands of miles away, there is a building in Chang'an City, 18 stories high. A plaque is hung in front of the building, and the book "Catch the Stars" is written.
At this time, on the top floor of the eighteenth floor of Star Reaching, an old man with red eyes, stood in front of him with thirteen copper coins, "Stars change, Bone Mountain, ten thousand monsters, river pawns Now."
"Heaven and earth are impermanent, where is the way of life?"
