While they were talking, Li Lianhua looked at the notice floating on the table with a very serious expression. He came here because the piece of warm jade came from Jade City, so he naturally paid attention to the news related to Jade City.

Fang Duobing looked at him and then at the watermelon on the table, "I only gave it to the guests when it went bad, and I didn't give any side dishes or anything."

It can be seen that Young Master Fang's picky mouth has changed a lot under the torture of being fed and hungry along the way.

"Why don't I give Fang Shaoxia a suggestion? The plain noodles here cost two yuan, add meat for three yuan, and a side dish will be given as a gift." Seeing his appearance, Li Lianhua said.

This…

Fang Duobing said angrily: "Who are you looking down on? I'm not hungry."

"The eldest young master is now so depressed that he can't even afford some plain noodles. Go home quickly." Putting down the notice in his hand, Li Lianhua was about to get up and leave.

Seeing that he wanted to leave, Fang Duobing placed the sword in his hand on his shoulder, "We haven't even finished talking yet. Where are you going?"

"Young master, if the criminal detectives of Baichuan Court arrest people at will, they will take off their name tags, but they will never be hired." Li Lianhua looked at him, "So, you have to be careful when arresting me."

"..."

After glaring at him, Fang Duobing put his sword back. "If you don't have any worries, don't run away."

As soon as Fang Duobing finished speaking, the door of the inn was kicked open from the outside.

A woman wearing a bamboo hat came in.

The wind blew away the veil that shone on her head.

Clothes and facial scars…

"It's Yu Qiu Shuang, the Yu Qiu Shuang on the painting." Some guests who recognized her started talking about her.

The woman who was identified as Yu Qiu Shuang covered her veil and shouted angrily, "You are not allowed to look at anything!"

They must have heard the noise, and a group of people came down from the second floor. After seeing her, the leader immediately said, "Second Miss, where have you been? Let us find you easily."

"You are posting notices all over the country, but you want to be whipped?" the woman said angrily.

"Yes... it was the madam who asked us to put up the notice after she couldn't find the second lady for several days."

After hearing what the other party said, the woman's attitude softened a little, "Did sister ask you to come?"

"Madam has gone to Shannan. It will take a few days to arrive. It was Miss Yunjiao who brought us here to find the second young lady. She is on the second floor."

Hearing this, the woman walked quickly upstairs.

Seeing this, the guards hurriedly followed.

Seeing their actions, the woman said coldly: "Why are you following so closely? I've already gone upstairs, can I still run away?"

Seeing her enter the room, all the guards breathed a sigh of relief. The person was finally found. Otherwise, if the madam scolds them, they will all have to walk around without food.

Fang Duobing didn't care about Miss Yucheng at all. He looked at Li Lianhua and said, "This is a good idea. If a suspect disappears, you can put up notices along the way to force him to show up voluntarily."

"Fang Shaoxia, your little boy disappeared after entering the door. Maybe you can use this method to find him." Knowing that Fang Duobing asked Wangfu and the others to check his room, Li Lianhua said One sentence.

Fang Duobing pretended not to understand.

Not long after, a woman came down from the second floor of the inn, "Waiter, are the hot water ready?"

"Okay girl, it's over here."

After hearing the waiter's words, the woman turned to the guard in Yucheng and said, "I have comforted Qiu Shuang. You can go back to Yucheng tomorrow morning."

She is Yu Qiu Shuang’s good friend Yun Jiao.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yun."

Yujiao smiled, turned and left.

Looking at her back, the guard leader sighed: "Miss Yunjiao and the second young lady are as close as sisters. With her here, we can finally do business for Madam."

Most of the people in the inn were passing by here and had no interest in the second lady, Miss Fuji. Besides, this melon doesn’t taste interesting.

But just when everyone was about to drink in peace, the inn door opened again.

This place was not kicked open, but rather blown open by the wind.

At the same time, a dark shadow flashed past the window.

"There's a ghost, there's a ghost!"

Seeing the dark shadow, Fang Duobing, who considers himself a detective, stood up from his stool and asked, "What's going on?"

With so many people shouting that there is a ghost, the waiter hurriedly ran over and closed the door again, "The wind is just wind...ah, blood, there is blood!" But before he could finish his words, he looked at the blood marks on the ground and collapsed in fear. On the ground.

The inn was in chaos.

Those bloody footprints extended from the inn lobby to the inn's stairs and up to the second floor.

"what!"

Yunjiao, who entered the room first, also rushed out with a shout, "There is blood, there is blood on it."

There was blood dripping down the floor on the second floor and downstairs. Yunjiao, who was about to take a bath and change clothes, was so scared that she ran out of the room.

Seeing the place where there was blood, Fang Duobing and others rushed over. That was Li Lianhua's room.

After pushing the door open, several people saw Wangfu's body.

Shen Haofeng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Wangfu to die like this. He was abandoned by his father when he was a child, but he didn't expect to be despised by his father who was worse than a pig or a dog when he was older. He thought that after all this, he would have a good future, but he didn't expect to die here.

"Master, Wangfu was fine before, but he became like this as soon as he entered this room." Li'er couldn't help crying when he saw Wangfu's body, "It's him, it must be him, he was the one who killed him." Wangfu."

She said and pointed at Li Lianhua.

Witnessing the tragic death of his servant, Fang Duobing was furious and drew his sword and pointed it at Li Lianhua, "Did you do it? You knew Wangfu came to your room, so you used evil magic to kill him."

Shen Haofeng/Li Lianhua: "..."

"Fang Shaoxia, I can understand that you feel sad when he dies. But you won't frame this crime on me." Li Lianhua was a little helpless.

Fang Duobing did not listen to this explanation, "You are a demon, and you have many strange methods. If there is any injustice, follow me back to Baichuan Courtyard to investigate."

"If we leave now, your Wangfu family's death will be in vain." Shen Haofeng looked at Fang Duobing, "He had a broken neck and was obviously strangled to death. We were all sitting opposite you just now. What tricks does Divine Doctor Li have? Can you strangle him to death from a distance? If you continue to waste time like this, the murderer will really escape."

"Master, you can't believe his lies, it must be him!" Li'er became anxious.

"Don't worry, Li'er. No matter who the murderer is, they all need evidence." Fang Duobing stared at Li Lianhua, "If the murderer is really you, I will definitely avenge Wangfu. I will give you a chance now to find out who the murderer is. ?”

Li Lianhua shook his head, "I really don't know this now, but a boy was killed inexplicably. Most likely, he was just a hook. But as long as we continue to search along this line, we will definitely be able to get to the point." "Two Miss, second miss!”

When the guards in Yucheng saw this haunted scene, they were worried about Yu Qiushuang's safety and hurriedly went upstairs and knocked on the door. But there was no response from inside, so he immediately opened the door.

In Yu Qiu Shuang's room, there was also a blood stain on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the guard leader's heart tightened and he shouted at his subordinates: "Where is the second lady?!"

"We have been guarding the stairs, and we haven't seen the second lady go out."

"Someone died just now, and the second lady is also missing. Could it be that she was kidnapped by the bloody footprints?"

"Search!"

With an order, all the guards from Yucheng began to search everywhere in the inn.

Most of the rooms were not suspicious until they kicked open a guest room and saw that it was filled with boxes of all sizes.

Faced with the rudeness of the Yucheng guards, the middle-aged man in the room wearing armor and holding a sword stood up and said, "I am Cheng Yunhe, the chief escort of the Hexing Escort Bureau. Judging from the way you are dressed, you should be the Yucheng guards. We can always come to the well. If you don’t offend the river, why would you rush into my room suddenly?”

The Hexing Escort Bureau is for escorts, and the road to Yucheng is a must-pass, so even though Cheng Yunhe was extremely dissatisfied, he still had the patience to speak.

"My second young lady has disappeared, so I searched the inn. Please forgive me for any offense I've offended." the guard leader explained.

Cheng Yunhe nodded, "You have all seen that there are only us escorts in this room, and there is no second lady you are looking for."

"Open the box."

This…

The escort boxes were all sealed. His request was undoubtedly difficult for the Hexing Escort Agency. "Friends, we are all begging for food in the rivers and lakes. This escort cannot be opened until it is delivered to the place. This is our rule. Besides, you see, there is a wax seal on it, and the date on it has not been unsealed. Pass.

"It's impossible for your second lady to get past the wax seal and get directly into the escort box, right?"

The guard leader had an ugly expression on his face, "The whereabouts of my second young lady are unknown, and your escort box is highly suspicious." He said and drew out his saber, "If we don't open it, we won't be able to do anything good today."

"Let's see who dares!"

If the escort box is opened, the business will be ruined. The most important thing is that the sign of Hexing Escort Agency may be damaged. How could Cheng Yunhe give in?

As soon as he finished speaking, a bodyguard walked up to Cheng Yunhe and said, "This is the boundary of Jade City. If we take action now, we will probably have to explain it here."

While they were talking, the Yucheng guard split the seal with a knife and reached out to open the dart box.

Everyone's expressions changed when they saw what was in the dart box, because it contained a human head.

"Head?"

"Boss Cheng, didn't you promise us not to put anything unlucky?" Seeing the head, the waiter became anxious. "We only trust you if you are a regular customer, but how can you bring a human head in?"

If word of this gets out, the inn's business will become even more difficult.

In fact, the waiter thought too much. People died in the inn, and there were those bloody footprints... After the news spread, the business of the inn was bound to plummet.

This is indeed a disaster for the inn.

Cheng Yunhe explained helplessly, "This is a death row inmate who was just beheaded by the Yamen. The family wanted to keep the body intact, so they asked me to transport it back."

"That's not okay. If you bring a head into the store, you will definitely attract evil spirits. These evil ghosts are here..." The evil ghosts mentioned by the waiter are naturally bloody footprints.

Ignoring their words, the Yucheng guard turned his attention to other escort boxes and suddenly saw blood flowing out of the boxes.

Seeing this, the guard split the seal again with a knife, and quickly walked over to open the dart box.

"Second...Second Miss..."

There was a corpse lying in the escort box, it was Yu Qiu Shuang, the second lady of Yu City.

Not only him, but the escorts in the guest room were also confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Is there really a ghost?" Cheng Yunhe's face was full of disbelief.

Seeing Yu Qiushuang's body, Yucheng's guards were completely angry, "My second young lady died in Xiaomian Inn. You all have something to do with it. You have to take it back to Yucheng!"

Everyone in Xiaomian Inn, including Shen Haofeng, was brought back to Jade City.

"This is good, at least the murderer can't escape for the time being." Li Lianhua whispered to Fang Duobing.

Jade City Prison.

Being kept in prison all this time will undoubtedly not help the investigation. Fang Duobing shouted to the guard guarding the prison: "Let your city lord come to see me. Do you know who I am? I am the criminal detective of Baichuan Court. It’s none of my business. Hey, you’re pretending not to hear me, I’m talking to you!”

"Stop arguing. The master of Yucheng is not here. When she comes back, she will meet you naturally." Li Lianhua thought he was too noisy and warned him.

"Didn't we see the city lord Yu Mulan when we were imprisoned just now?" Fang Duobing frowned and asked.

Li Lianhua reluctantly explained, "Mu Lan has no real power over this, and he can't make the final decision on major matters."

"how do you know?"

This time Li Lianhua did not speak, but looked at Shen Haofeng, knowing that he was too lazy to explain, Shen Haofeng had no choice but to say, "Think about it carefully, the Jade City guard in the inn only mentioned the wife and not the city lord, and Yu Qiu Shuang called Ah My sister is not called Sister-in-law, which shows that Yu Mulan just changed his surname. He just took the name of the city lord, so the real person who calls the shots in Jade City is the city lord’s wife Yu Hongzhu.”

Unexpectedly, the two of them were so insightful. Fang Duobing was stunned for a moment, "But you still can't clear up the suspicion about what happened last night."

"Don't focus on us. As a detective, listen more and ask more questions. Do your homework well." Shen Haofeng sighed.

Choked by the way he hated the iron, Fang Duobing said angrily: "I don't need you to remind me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to Cheng Yunhe, "Mr. Cheng, escort chief, what happened to your escort trip?"

"I also want to know the reason. This escort box was originally the topaz sent from Beishan Mine to the capital. When the box was sealed, everyone saw it."

"Yes, we all saw it was Topaz."

"The box has never left our sight."

Cheng Yunhe was confused, "We can't figure out why the escort box turned into the second lady."

"It's not because you smuggled in private escorts to cause trouble." The waiter in the shop became angry at the thought of him putting heads in the escort box.

"You don't want to slander anyone. That head was used for ritual purposes." Cheng Yunhe explained quickly.

"What's the point of doing it? Now that something happens to Yucheng's second young lady, Yucheng has made it clear that he wants to bury us together."

Fang Duobing looked at Cheng Yunhe, "What's going on with this private escort trip?" (End of Chapter)
