Yi Xiao Chuan

Chapter 15 Who is the mysterious assassin
When Qi Fei came out of the morgue, someone had prepared clean water towels, and a small incense burner burning medicinal incense, waiting in the courtyard, wisps of green smoke were wafting out from the incense burner.

Qi Fei smoked his hands for a while, then washed them in clean water.Qi Zhao has already returned, a little annoyed.

It seems that the assassin was not chased.

Qi Fei didn't ask about the passing, but just called Qi Zhao to come to his side.He stretched out his hands and shook them twice under his nose.

Zi Che on the side thought that Qi Fei was going to punish Qi Zhao, and was about to intercede when Qi Fei said:
"Smell something?"

Qi Zhao seemed to have an epiphany, a very familiar taste, is this...?
Qi Fei said: "This is the sterilized incense I just used. It contains realgar and wormwood. Does the assassin just now have this smell?"

Qi Zhao nodded, indeed!

Qi Fei smiled: "Let's go, go back to Yunzhong Restaurant, the assassin is there, and it's a female assassin!"

Qi Zhao and Zi Che's jaws almost fell to the ground in shock. I don't know how the young master in front of him can determine the assassin's gender and hiding place in the blink of an eye.

Qi Zhao ordered Zi Che not to reveal his and Qi Fei's real identities, and not to send troops to guard them secretly, but only to treat them as businessmen who wanted to do business in the city.

Coming out of the Governor's Mansion, Qi Zhao secretly asked, "Master Uncle, how did you determine the assassin's gender and hiding place?"

"Let's talk about how you let the assassin go!" Qi Fei asked back.

Qi Zhao shrugged helplessly: "No wonder you can be an uncle. Is there anything else you don't know?"

In fact, it is not difficult to guess these. The assassin who sprang out of the morgue was petite. When he passed in front of Qi Fei, in addition to the incense smell of realgar and wormwood, there was also a faint smell of rouge in the air.Therefore, Qi Fei is sure that the assassin is a woman.

The smell of realgar and wormwood was the strong smell they smelled when they entered Yunzhong Restaurant in the morning.People who live in it for a long time will naturally have this smell on their bodies.This is why Qi Fei determined the assassin's hiding place.

Regarding Qi Fei deliberately letting go of the female assassin, it is even simpler.With Qi Zhao's skill, not to mention one female assassin, even ten, it is impossible to run a hundred meters away.

Qi Zhao was convinced at the moment.

It turned out that when he was catching up with the assassin, he hit his left shoulder with a palm.The assassin fell into a dilapidated small courtyard, Qi Zhao caught up and took off his mask, only to find that it was a woman with a pretty face.He hesitated for a moment.

Seeing that Qi Zhao didn't capture her immediately, the woman said three words: Baiyingu. "

Qi Zhao, Qi Fei, and Ting Jian all changed into the clothes of ordinary citizens, and did not wear the uniforms of Wuyingu and Baiyingu disciples. This woman blurted out Baiyingu, could it be that she is also a disciple from Baiyingu?
While hesitating, the woman flew away.Qi Zhao watched the woman leave with her hands on her shoulders, and did not continue to chase.

The two returned to Yunzhong Restaurant and went upstairs to Qi Zhao's room.There is already a person waiting in the room, judging by his figure, it is Yu Hongfeng.

When Qi Zhao saw that it was Yu Hongfeng, he asked directly, "You are crazy, you dare to send someone to the guard morgue to steal things!"

Yu Hongfeng looked bewildered: "Where do you start with this?"

Qi Zhao talked about the process of chasing the assassin, Yu Hongfeng shook his head, he had been secretly investigating the secret warehouse of Qi Xia and Wei Tianheng, and didn't care about the case of the unknown corpse.Besides, I have been working alone for more than ten years, where can I get my subordinates?
"Have you lived in this hotel for ten years?" Qi Fei asked.

"Yes! This hotel is opened by Wei Tianheng's old friend, so whenever I come to Huju City, I will stay here every time."

"Is there a woman who has a good relationship with you who also lives here? Or is it the maid here?" Qi Fei continued to ask.

Yu Hongfeng shook his head, then pondered for a while, and slowly said: "I help the sick maids to see a doctor every time, so I have a good relationship with them. But I don't have a particularly good relationship."

Qi Fei nodded and said: "I'm afraid that the affectionate woman has already secretly agreed. You only think about Nianjiao in your heart, but you didn't realize it."

"How is this possible? Yu Hongfeng is already a heartbroken person, and he will no longer have any love for children!"

Qi Zhao waited anxiously, so he interrupted the two of them: "I'll talk about this later, Senior Brother Hongfeng is waiting here, but do you have something important to discuss?" One sentence reminded Yu Hongfeng, that's right!Almost missed the business!
Yu Hongfeng has already found the warehouse that Qi Xia and Wei Tianheng have been secretly running for many years, and got the key in the chaos.Just wait for a good opportunity to destroy it in one fell swoop.

Qi Fei told Yu Hongfeng to be patient, not to act in a hurry, and wait until the case of the unknown corpse is solved before making any plans.

Qi Xia had already returned to the countryside to recuperate from her injuries, Wei Tianheng brought people into the Qunfang Building.These people won't make big moves for a while.

Yu Hongfeng nodded, looked around for no one, then closed the door and went out.

It was just dark, and Ting Jian returned to the room.

"My lord, I have found out that there is indeed a beggar missing near the west city gate. There is a red birthmark on his right wrist. These beggars are crowded in a ruined temple, and people often die of freezing or starvation. So no one cares. The dead beggars are different among beggars, they are poor and hard-boned, so they are excluded."

After hearing what Jian said, he picked up the tea on the table and drank most of the pot in one go.

Who would lay hands on a beggar?

That is, the beggar, why is he wearing the clothes of the Vientiane Kingdom? It seems that the clothes are still new? Could it be that someone deliberately made him dress like that, and then waited for an opportunity to kill him?
Qi Fei didn't have a clue for the time being, he was already feeling hungry, so the three of them went to the lobby on the first floor to get something to eat.

Qi Xia was not there, and an old man was in charge of the hotel.Looking at the sparse customers, frowning.Very attentive to the only few customers in the store.

Seeing the three of Qi Fei going downstairs, they were already waiting by the stairs: "Three guests, do you want to eat or go for a walk?"

Seeing that a few people didn't look like they were going out, they were hurriedly ushered to a square table in the lobby, and before they were seated, they flicked the stools briskly.There is no exaggeration in this skilled movement.

Sitting down at the three-person square table, Ting Jian asked the old man to pick a few signature dishes and serve them up, plus a jug of fruit wine.

The old man smiled awkwardly: "Well, there is no fruit wine in the shop, but there is Fengjiu from outside the region, which is no worse than Zui Taibai in Tianxianglou. Would you like to try it?"

Seeing that the three were not moved, the old man lowered his voice and said: "The shopkeeper Qi usually keeps this wine in person, and only Mr. Wei can drink it. The others don't even have the chance to smell it!"

Qi Zhao teased the old man: "Give out the proprietress' private possession to the guests, so you won't be afraid of being kicked out by the proprietress in the future?"

The old man smiled foolishly: "If this little old man is the shopkeeper for a day, he will have the power for a day."

"Okay, let's have a pot of your phoenix wine!" The old man happily ordered.

After a while, the food was brought out.A woman in red came with a wine tray. On the wine tray was a bright red wine jar and three silver cups beside it.Like the stars and the moon.

The woman put down the wine plate and poured wine for the three of them lightly.

"Three guest officers, please take it easy!" After saying that, Yingying bowed and was about to step back.The old man rushed over and introduced: "This is Miss Liuyun next to Shopkeeper Qi. Shopkeeper Qi is not here, and Miss Liuyun will keep Fengjiu."

Qi Fei saw that the woman's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her shoulders were a little stiff, so she nodded slightly: "Miss, thank you!" He glanced at Qi Zhao.

Liu Yun looked down at Qi Zhao, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then he regained his composure.Standing next to Qi Fei with downcast eyes.

Qi Zhao stood up and shouted excitedly towards the door: "Brother Hongfeng, what a coincidence, I met you here!"
