Chapter 163 The Missing Girl
Master Zhen saw that her expression was wrong: "What, what's the matter?"

Chu Qing stood up suddenly, but swayed because of physical discomfort, and sat back again. After the dizziness in front of her eyes passed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master Zhen, what do you think is wrong? At the foot of the emperor in the capital, you feel that there may be a sudden Isn’t it strange that so many girls have disappeared?”

If it's one or two, forget it.

What's the situation with three or four?There is definitely a problem.

Mr. Zhen hasn't recovered for a while: "I checked yesterday, and there are some reasons for this, I thought..." He was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly thought of something, and his body froze: "Isn't it? Brother Yu You don't mean that, do you?"

Chu Qing had a headache: "Today is the sixth day. What do you think?"

She stood up, unable to sit still.

Lord Zhen took a quick step forward: "What, what should I do? I didn't expect it, it can't be the murderer, right?"

If the murderer really arrested these women, how many more people will die?
It occurred to me that there was another official daughter...

Master Zhen's eyes also darkened.

Chu Qing: "What can I do? Check! How many people are missing?"

Lord Zhen's head was also in a mess: "Master, how many are there?"

Master quickly said: "Four, four!"

Chu Qing rubbed the space between his eyebrows: "Master Zhen, you and I will divide into two groups. Go to the homes of these four people and ask if there are any clues. We must find them before the other party makes a move!"

Otherwise, among these four girls, one must die today.

Thinking about Chu Qing made her head hurt even more.

Master Zhen was so anxious that he was on the point of crying, there was no reason why he shouldn't, so he quickly asked the Yatou to divide the remaining Yamen servants into two groups.

One group followed Chu Qing, another group followed him, and hurriedly started to act.

Chu Qing couldn't ride a horse at all now, so she had to take a carriage. On the way to the home of the third missing girl, she quickly opened the file and looked at it carefully.

This No.3 missing girl, her boudoir name is Nie Si, and her father is Lord Censor Nie.

When Mr. Nie got the news, he personally went to the gate of the mansion to pick up Chu Qing.

Chu Qing didn't enter the mansion, and went straight to the point: "Master Nie, can you tell me in detail what happened yesterday? How did Miss Nie disappear?"

Master Nie asked someone to call Nie Si's personal maid, He Xiang.

He Xiang probably lost Nie Si. This day and night was not very good. When she saw Chu Qing, she knelt down and kowtowed, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and her eyes were bloodshot: "Master, please forgive me! Forgive me!"

Chu Qing asked her to get up: "Let me ask you, tell me in detail what happened when your miss disappeared yesterday. Don't hide anything..."

That He Xiang was probably comforted by Chu Qing's calm eyes, shaking her body, trying to remember.

It took a long time before he murmured and said: "Little...Miss said yesterday that she wanted to go to the Zhenpin Pavilion to have a look. There are a few fancy jewelry newly released there. The servant...so I prepared a lot...and took the lady I went, and when I got there, the lady was there to choose, the servants followed the lady, and the servants were guarding outside, but... for some reason, a group of beggars came to Zhenpin Pavilion, and the ladies and ladies inside were knocked down for a while. With a big jump, the lady was also frightened, and the servant...and the lady were dispersed. Wait...after the beggars are driven away by the shopkeeper, the servant will look for... woooooo...the lady is gone... The servant doesn't know what's going on... Miss just disappeared under the nose of the servant... Woooooo..."

He Xiang probably knew that if the young lady couldn't find her, she might not survive, so she cried miserably.

Chu Qing frowned more and more tightly: "Come with us to Zhenpin Pavilion."

The yamen servant followed behind Chu Qing: "My lord, is there a problem?"

Chu Qing hummed: "Send two yamen servants to investigate and ask those beggars if anyone gave them money to let them rush into the Treasure Pavilion on purpose."

Soon, two yamen servants left in a hurry.

Chu Qing followed the yamen servant and He Xiang to Zhenpin Pavilion.

Zhenpin Pavilion is regarded as one of the best jewelry shops in the capital, but because of what happened yesterday, Zhenbao Pavilion is empty today.

When Chu Qing and his party came over, the shopkeeper had a mournful face: "My lord, but is there any news about Miss Nie?"

Because Nie Si disappeared in their shop yesterday, rumors spread widely, and no one dares to come to their shop today.

I'm afraid he will become the second Nie Si.

If this continues, I'm afraid that their Treasure Pavilion will not be able to continue.

Chu Qing said: "Let me ask you, was there any strange person among those beggars at that time?" It is not so easy to bring a living person so silently.

The shopkeeper: "Strange people? Where are there any strange people? They are all a group of rioters. It must be said that every beggar in our shop brings rice bags that big. I don't know who slandered our shop like this. Now it's really over..." The shopkeeper finally found someone to talk to, and said every word tremblingly.

Chu Qing grasped several key points: "They all took a bag of rice?"

The shopkeeper said: "Yeah, it's too old, and I don't know who is so bad... That bag can fit one person..."

Chu Qing's heart twitched, it seemed that Nie Si got out like this.

The murderer was probably mixed in with the crowd, so he put Nie Si unconscious into a rice bag and took it out while taking advantage of the chaos.

Because those beggars took rice bags, it was not very conspicuous for a while.

Chu Qing rubbed his eyebrows: "Do you know where those beggars went after they left?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Where do I remember that, at that time, Miss Nie's maid suddenly screamed, and she was only focused on finding someone..."

Chu lightly shook his stupefied head: Who is this murderer?

He was actually so smart, none of these cases seemed to be planned in advance, orderly and leak-free.

Such a person is still in the dark, and she is in the light, making her overwhelmed.

She has been in the capital for so long, and this is the first time she has encountered such a difficult case. She has no clue, so many victims, and they don't even have anything in common.

The shopkeeper was also in a hurry, "Master, you must find Miss Nie."

If he couldn't find it, all his life's hard work would be over.

Who is this who kills thousands of swords so hard to get along with him, so tossing their Zhenbao Pavilion?

Chu Qing: "Treasurer, think about it again. Is there anything special among these beggars, such as beggars who don't behave like beggars at all, and are there any characteristics of those rice bags? Or, are there any particularly tall ones?"

It is easy to get a person into the rice bag, and then get it out silently.

The strength of this murderer is probably very great.

However, there is another possibility that the murderer may have an accomplice.

Chu Qing hoped it would not be the second type, otherwise, the case would be more complicated.

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he just turned around, and after hearing this, he calmed down a little, and repeated Chu Qing's words endlessly: "Beggars... don't behave like beggars... Oh right, right! I remembered, I'm looking for When people drove those beggars away, they almost hit one of the beggars directly. The beggar was unkempt, but he stretched out his hand to block it. I didn't see it clearly at that time, but I did remember that he was very white and clean when he blocked it. It doesn't look like a beggar at all... I wondered at the time, and later wondered if it was a clean beggar..."

Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "Do you still remember the height and shape of that person?"

The shopkeeper thought about it carefully, "It seems... half a head taller than adults, maybe the same height? I don't remember much. It was a mess at the time. The man was bowed, carrying a rice bag, and when he blocked it, his eyes were very fierce. I was startled, yes... when he blocked it, a chain slipped out of his neck, and there was something attached to it..."

Chu Qing: "What is it?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I can't remember. It was too chaotic at that time, I can remember so much, it's because of the other party's eyes, so fierce, it scared me..."

Chu Qing saw that the shopkeeper really couldn't think of anything, so he continued to patrol around the Zhenbao Pavilion.

Not long after, the two yamen servants who inquired about the beggars in the vicinity came back: "My lord, we have inquired. Yesterday, indeed, a young master said that Zhenpin Pavilion distributed rice and asked them to take it casually. He also distributed a bag of rice by himself. Those beggars Believe it, and rush over."

Chu Qing: "Where is the rice bag?"

The yamen servant nodded: "We asked, and the beggars only said that the young man's face was covered with beards and he couldn't see his face clearly. However, we got some rice bags. These are the rice bags they got yesterday."

Chu Qing took those rice bags and looked through them carefully, only the word "rice" was in the center, nothing else special.

The yamen servant said: "These rice bags are nothing special, so I couldn't find out which one they belonged to for a while."

The shopkeeper looked at the bag of rice: "Sir, let me have a look?"

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, but passed the rice bag over.

I saw that the shopkeeper took the rice bag, but turned it over, looked for it carefully, saw Chu Qing and others looked over, and explained: "Young master may not understand, generally speaking, it looks the same. , but like these craftsmen, they all like to mark their own marks on the things they make..." He quickly found what he was looking for, and embroidered a small "soup" on the bottom of the rice bag The words are revealed.If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all. "It seems that this is from Laotangtou's house. There were so many beggars who came here yesterday, and the large batches must have been taken directly from Laotangtou. I will take you there!"

The shopkeeper became energetic now, and he had a premonition that this lord must be looking for Old Tangtou.

According to what the lord said, Miss Nie was involved in it, maybe Old Tangtou knew who the murderer was.

Because of the shopkeeper's guidance, they quickly found the old Tangtou who specially wove this kind of rice bags.

However, the small shop was not open today.
