Chapter 40 Spring Breeze Court

Spring Breeze Garden!
The most famous brothel in Qingshui County.

Not only because the girls in Chunfengyuan are prettier than Shuiling from other houses, but also because the girls in Chunfengyuan are considerate in service and their business level beats other brothel counterparts.

It is rumored that the girls in Chunfengyuan are talented, can sing and dance, and can also act in the plot. ...

With this professional level of business, it is difficult to do bad business!

Therefore, Chunfengyuan is famous far and wide!

There is an endless stream of clients who come to Chunfengyuan almost every day, and the business is booming.

But today, the gate of Chunfengyuan is extremely deserted.

The bustard who used to be full of smiles is now frowning and sighing.

Last night, a murder occurred in their brothel.

A brothel woman named Rulin died, and it is said that the murderer was a servant of the Yamen.

As soon as this news came out, her business in Chunfengyuan suddenly plummeted.

No one dares to come!
This impact is too great!
If a person is killed in Chunfengyuan, it will affect the business, not to mention that the murderer has something to do with the Yamen?

Those former prostitutes heard the sound and avoided it, and turned around and went to other brothels.

As a result, Chunfengyuan's business is very bleak today!
Not only is today bleak, I am afraid that business will not be good for a long time to come!

If it is not handled properly, the blow to her Chunfengyuan may be fatal!
Thinking of this, the bustard's teeth itch with anger!

That Xu Ping'an also looked like an honest person, and he didn't have any major shortcomings except that he was a little ugly.

Unexpectedly, he would actually do such a beastly thing? !

Rulin was brought up by her alone. Although she is not the number one name in Chunfengyuan, she is also very popular with those merchants and young masters. She can be regarded as half of her cash cow in Chunfengyuan!
Now, it can be said that he has lost his wife and lost his army!
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!
The old bustard wanted to cry, but she could only curse secretly: "Don't let the old lady see him, or he will have to be killed!"

Just when the old bustard was frowning and worried.

A figure in official uniform appeared outside Chunfeng Garden.

Standing outside the gate of Chunfengyuan, Shen Lin sighed slightly.

It has been almost three years since he came here, and this is the first time he has stepped into a romantic place like Chunfengyuan.

Although I used to pass by it often, I never went in.

This kind of Yanliu place is somewhat inconsistent with Shen Linli's personality!
After all, he read Chunqiu!

Unexpectedly, people visit brothels to find happiness.And Shen Lin went to the brothel for the first time in his life, and it turned out to be to handle a case!

It's a bit out of business!
But right now, if he wanted to save Xu Ping'an, Shen Lin had no choice but to go to the scene of the crime to see if he could find any clues to catch the real culprit who murdered Miss Rulin.

This is not only saving Xu Ping'an, but also saving himself!

When the old bustard at the door saw Shen Shi, he stepped forward excitedly.

"Shen Zuo, you are finally here!"

As if grasping at straws, the old bustard felt aggrieved and sad: "Chen Chen, our girl Rulin was brutally murdered at such a young age, you must give us an explanation!"

Shen Lin glanced at the bustard and nodded slightly: "Don't worry, we will catch the murderer and avenge Miss Rulin!"

"Catch the murderer? Isn't the murderer the Xu Ping'an?"

The old bustard said angrily: "He murdered Rulin!"

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes slightly: "How can you be sure that he is the murderer?"

"Are you sure about that?"

The old bustard gritted his teeth and said, "All the girls under my command have told me that he was the only one who came to look for Xiao Li last night, who else could be the murderer if he wasn't him?!"

Shen Lin asked again: "It's Miss Xiao Li that he came here for, and what does he have to do with Miss Rulin? I would like to ask, why Miss Rulin came out of Miss Xiaoli's room for no reason?"

The bustard was startled.

She really didn't think of this question.

Why is Rulin in Xiaoli's room?

No one knows, but...

"But, there was no one else except Xu Ping'an last night... But someone saw Xu Ping'an jumping out of the window and running away. When he was running, Rulin's body was still hot, and he clearly killed her... "

Thinking of this, the old bustard burst into tears and began to cry: "Poor Rulin, she lost her parents when she was a child, and before she had time to enjoy her blessings, she was murdered..."

"That's horrible!"

"Sorry!"

Shen Lin could only comfort her in this way.

"Chen Chen, our Rulin was killed by someone from your yamen. Your yamen should be responsible for this matter, right?!" The old bustard stared at Shen Lin.

Shen Lin nodded: "If the person was really killed by Xu Pingan, we will definitely not cover him up, and we will naturally give you an explanation at that time!"

"That's not what I said..."

The old bustard shook his head, his phoenix eyes faintly glowed, and he cried again: "It was the people from your yamen who killed my Rulin, and also caused such a big loss to my Chunfengyuan...Your yamen, don't you? Shouldn't it be compensated?"

Shen Lin stared.

Good guy!
The real purpose of this bustard has been exposed!

It turned out to be blackmail?
Blackmailed to the yamen?
Seeing Shen Lin's silence, the bustard cried even more bitterly, and wailed: "My poor Rulin, why did you die so miserably...it's useless, I can't avenge you..."

"Okay, let's collect the taste first!"

Shen Lin glanced at her, and said calmly: "If the people from our yamen really killed Ru Lin, then the yamen will naturally not treat you badly."

"That's great, thank you Shen Zuo!"

The old bustard's face turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant, with a happy smile on his face.

The speed of face-changing is a must!
Shen Lin said in a bad mood: "Stop talking nonsense, take me to the scene of the crime!"

After getting the benefits she wanted, the bustard immediately became enthusiastic: "Shen Chu, come with me!"

With that said, she led Shen Lin into Chunfeng Garden and went upstairs.

While scanning the structure in Chunfeng Garden, Shen Lin asked the bustard in front of him: "Except for Xu Ping'an, no one else came to look for Xiao Li last night?"

The old bustard explained: "Xiao Li didn't pick up guests as usual last night, and she helped me in the backyard. Except for Xu Ping'an, no one will come to her..."

Shen Lin frowned: "What about Miss Rulin? Has anyone looked for her?"

The bustard shook her head: "No, Rulin didn't pick up any guests last night, my girls all confirmed this..."

Shen Lin thought about it.

If no one came to look for the two of them last night, then Xu Ping'an was indeed the only suspicious person who came!

All the evidence in the case points to him, and the atmosphere is so high that it is impossible for him to die...

While talking, the bustard brought Shen Lin to the innermost room on the third floor.

"This is Xiao Li's boudoir. Xiao Li likes to be quiet, so he specially chose such a corner room..."

The old bustard seemed to have thought of something, and began to wipe away tears again, then said in fear: "If I hadn't called Xiao Li away last night, I'm afraid it would have been Xiao Li who was killed last night..."

Shen Lin ignored the madam's acting and scanned the surroundings.

The location of this room is indeed very remote, which is very suitable for the crime scene.

People from the yamen have been here several times, and a seal has been pasted on the door.

Shen Lin tore off the seal, pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a faint fragrance mixed with an indescribable peculiar smell.

It smells bad!

Everything in the room is normal, without any traces of tearing and fighting.

On the bed not far away, it proved that there had been a fierce collision here before.

Ru Lin's body has been transported back to the Yamen, and the room remains as it was before.

Shen Lin's eyes fell on the window not far away. The window was wide open, and a few footprints were clearly visible on the window sill.

Shen Lin came to the window and glanced out the window.

The location on the third floor is not low.

But with Xu Ping'an's skills, it's not too difficult to leave with the help of the window sill on the second floor!
Obviously, these are the traces left by Xu Pingan when he left in a hurry last night.

Turning around, Shen Lin slowly scanned around the room.

In the entire room, except for the footprints left by Xu Pingan, there was no trace of the second person.

Shen Lin's heart sank.

This case...

It's tricky!
