Chapter 12 The Master of the Handkerchief

Master Cat hurriedly smiled and said, "Fortunately, Master Cat knows that my aunt is quick-tempered, so she got the veil and went to inquire without stopping. Now, of course, I have found out. This veil is exactly the one from the Flower Planting House. The girl named Zhuohua."

As soon as the words were finished, Xuanyi Ke turned around neatly.

Behind her, Master Mao raised his voice slightly, "Auntie, go slowly! Next time I have business, I will come to visit again. I am an old acquaintance, and it will always be cheaper for you."

Xuanyi guest didn't seem to hear it, he stepped up to the roof in two or three steps, and rushed away like a ghost in the dark and rainy night.

Looking at the figure that was only a few feet away, Master Cat clicked his tongue twice, touched the bulging silver pouch at his waist, and smiled happily, turned around and walked back to the gambling house, laughing loudly and talking nonsense, "Master Cat There is money again, let’s fight again if you don’t accept it, look at Master Mao, I’ll kill everyone!"

At the same time, Jin Yi Ye Xing, Han Mingsi and his party of more than a dozen Qingqi have arrived in front of an ordinary dwelling in the city.

This dwelling is the residence of Hu Xiang, the No.3 deceased.Hu Xiang was different from the first two victims. He had no father, mother, wife or children. He lived here alone and rarely interacted with the people around him.For a man living alone without a wife, going to a brothel is perfectly normal, which is why he didn't find anything unusual about the veil during the initial search.

Since the day Hu Xiang was found, the house had been sealed up by the Department of Darkness. Even after the search, two people were left to guard it just in case.Unexpectedly, even under guard, the veil still disappeared.

Not only that, although there were subtle changes in the room, they couldn't escape the eyes of Mu Mingsi, it was obvious that someone had rummaged through it.

The lord's face was covered with a mask, and he couldn't see his anger, but the two guards were so frightened that they "plopped" and knelt down on one knee, and said in a trembling voice, "Your lord, I don't dare to slack off in the slightest, and I really didn't notice it at all. It's strange, and I don't know where that person came from, and when did he come."

"My lord, the two of them definitely don't have the guts to neglect their duties, there must be something inside."

The lord did not say a word. The house is not big, so you can see it all at a glance. After wandering around, he took two steps forward, squatted on the open space in the middle of the house, and wiped the ground with his fingertips. A few wisps of floating ash.The floating ash is finer and completely different from the soil on the ground.

The lord and the subordinate beside him raised their heads almost at the same time, looking at the roof above them.

This is the only possibility left.

However, the one who can come and go freely without disturbing the experienced Han Mingsi must be a bold and careful master with excellent lightness skills.

"Humble job, get someone to investigate immediately." There may be clues left in the house and on the roof, and there may be people with such skills who are now living in Shangjing.

"Yeah." The lord nodded lightly, patted the ash off his fingers, stood up, and strode towards the outside of the house.

As soon as I got outside, I heard a high-pitched cry.

A mute Si Wuwei who was guarding outside the house raised his little finger and blew a whistle between his lips. The falcon that was hovering above his head flapped his wings and swooped down. When he got closer, he slowed down. It landed docilely on the arm that the military guard stretched out at the right time.

That Wuwei bowed his hands towards the lord, "The Shihua Pavilion has been taken care of according to the lord's wishes."

The lord nodded, and strode forward, someone had already led the horse, so he jumped on it, holding the rein in his hand.

"Rui Shan!" He called suddenly.

"The humble position is here." A trembling voice sounded with a little panic.

The lord didn't turn his head back, his eyes behind the mask fell far into the seemingly endless rainy night, "What flowers are embroidered on that veil?"

"Peach Blossom!" As a mute, it's not enough to forget everything he's seen, but it's obviously not the time to be proud of it, so someone's tone must be a little dull.

"When I arrive at the Planting Flower House, I want to see the roster of all the girls in the Planting Flower House. It will be a crime for you!" When the words fell, the lord had already clamped his horse's stomach, and each of them shot away like an arrow leaving the string. out.

Rui Shan was stunned for a moment before realizing it, stop being listless, and answered "Yes" energetically, then hurriedly climbed on the horse and rode away.

There is no curfew in Daning Dynasty, and Yanliu Street is extremely lively after nightfall, even if it is raining, it can't stop the men's interest in looking for flowers and willows.Among the flower houses in Yanliu Street, the Planting Flower House is not so outstanding, but it is not bad. There have been several oirans in the hall, and there are many talented and beautiful girls, so the business is still booming.But compared to the top Huancai Pavilion and Nanfeng Pavilion, it is still [-]% worse.Even so, it was full of visitors every night, and it was very lively, but tonight was a little different.

Not long after night fell, a group of Xuanyi martial guards surrounded the Planting Flower Pavilion, forbidding anyone to enter or leave.Those who were able to open a brothel in the Daning Dynasty and make some famous names usually had their backers, and the Shihua Pavilion was no exception.It's just that the old bustard of the planting flower shop came forward, but his expression changed because of the token shown by the leader, and he couldn't utter a word in all kinds of words, and retreated silently.

Other people who were still puzzled also changed their faces when they saw the birds of prey embroidered on the black cloaks waving in the wind behind those black-clothed military guards.

Birds of prey are not flocking, this is a dumb song!Who dares to mess with it?

Xuanyi guest, that is, Yan Wanwan came to the flower garden almost at the same time as Han Mingsi. She only pondered for a moment, and then sneaked into the hall with the panicked crowd when Han Mingsi was surrounded. .

Arriving at a certain corridor where people avoid people, she just ran into a maidservant head-on, and before the maidservant turned pale with fright and opened her mouth to scream, she had already strangled the maidservant's neck and pulled her aside, Lowering his voice, he said, "Don't move around, otherwise, I'll break your neck right away."

The servant girl had a pale face, but she didn't dare to move any more.

"I'll ask you a question. If you answer me honestly, I won't hurt you. If you agree, just nod your head." Being held tightly around her neck, the maid couldn't even utter a single sound. Night whispered in her ear.

The maid nodded with a stiff face.

Yan Wanwan heard the commotion ahead and didn't dare to delay, so she asked directly, "Where is Miss Zhuohua's room?"

The servant girl met Yan Wanwan's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally raised her finger and pointed to the corridor on the left behind her. The hand around her neck was slightly loosened, and the servant girl said in a hoarse voice, "Turn left in the corridor ahead Three." Hearing her own voice, she realized that she was able to speak, and she was terrified, but before she could make another sound, the back of her neck was cut off by a hand knife, and her eyes went dark. She didn't know anything.

"I'm sorry." Yan Wanwan caught the maidservant's limp body, helped her to sit down in a corner, and walked towards the corridor pointed by the maidservant without stopping.
