Xiao Yunfan looked at the sycamore tree and thought to himself: "Ali is not supposed to know martial arts, but she lives with wild beasts, so her senses are naturally much sharper than ordinary people. How come she was kidnapped without any trace of a struggle? It's really strange. The fragrance on the beam seemed to be a kind of powdery fragrance. When I rescued Lan Xiang just now, the smell of powdery powder on her body seemed completely different from this smell.
It seems that I need to go to the rouge shop mentioned by Lan Xiang to find out. If you look for the clue Rouge, you might gain something. "He turned around and asked the maid Lan Xiang where the rouge shop was. Lan Xiang told him that the rouge shop was at the first alley on the west side of the street.
Xiao Yunfan left Jinyihang and headed west straight to Rouge Shop. Sure enough, as Lan Xiang said, there is an apricot-yellow trick hanging at the west alley. Xiao Yunfan walked into the store, and a young man with a handsome face asked with a smile: "Sir, I want to buy rouge and gouache for the girl. I don't know what kind of rouge you want. We have seventeen kinds of rouge, all of which are made by local powder masters." Prepared by hand."
As he spoke, he picked up an exquisite powder box, opened it and handed it to Xiao Yunfan. After Xiao Yunfan smelled the seventeen kinds of rouge one by one, he could not find the rouge with the same smell as the one Liang Shang had just smelled. He remembered what Lan Xiang had said about the disappearance of the daughter of the Rouge Shop owner. He opened his mouth and asked: "Shopkeeper, I have a heartfelt request. Can you tell me about the disappearance of your shopkeeper's daughter?"
The young man was startled at first, and then laughed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, you really know how to joke." Xiao Yunfan asked curiously: "Why am I joking?" The young man said: "My shopkeeper married a third wife, and all the children he had were sons. A daughter. If he has a daughter, his old man will naturally be the first to recruit me as his wife, and I’m afraid it won’t be the guest’s turn. Where did the guest hear the gossip? "
Xiao Yunfan's heart suddenly sank and he said to himself: "No, I've fallen into a trap." As he said that, he ran straight out of the rouge shop and headed towards Jin Yihang. The young man shook his head and said, "This person is probably a lunatic." On the way back, a dark red sedan was walking from east to west. The person on the sedan opened the sedan curtain and looked at Xiao Yunfan's retreating back, with a smile on his lips.
Xiao Yunfan just went on his way and didn't pay attention. When he returned to Jinyihang again, he saw two corpses lying in the yard. One is the shopkeeper, and the other is the clerk. But the maid Lan Xiang disappeared.
He leaned down and looked at the cause of the shopkeeper's death. There was a red spot the size of a copper coin on the shopkeeper's neck, and the same was true of the waiter's fatal wound. Seeing the two innocent people dying, Xiao Yunfan was filled with grief and anger. Thinking of Ah Li's safety, he tried to calm down.
He reached out and took out the fire folding device from his pocket, and lit an oil lamp on the table in the side room. Holding the oil lamp in one hand, he looked carefully inside the house again.
Suddenly he stepped on a bamboo stick, and a candied haws on it happened to be crushed by him. Xiao Yunfan glanced at the candied haws and suddenly understood. It turns out that the candied haws hawker and Lan Xiang are in the same group. They may have been targeting him early on. There was an anesthetic hidden in the candied haws, otherwise when Ahri was kidnapped, there would have been water splashing out from the bathtub in the wing room due to the struggle.
Suddenly his eyes fell on a cabinet. He had opened the cabinet before. There was nothing in it except a few quilts. It was even more impossible to hide someone. But at this moment, a corner of the quilt was exposed from the gap in the cabinet door. It was obvious that someone left in a hurry and had no time to hide it. He opened the cabinet door and saw that several quilts had slipped and fell to the ground due to being piled randomly.
Xiao Yunfan threw everything in the cabinet on the ground, wanting to find out. He stretched out two fingers and flicked them on the innermost wall of the cabinet. The board immediately made a thumping sound. If the cabinet is against the wall, it will naturally have another sound.
There must be something weird about the board in front of him. He stretched out his hand and pushed the board. With a squeaking sound, the board flipped to one side, revealing a door. Without thinking, he slipped in through the door. Behind this door is a small room. By the light of the fire, he saw water stains on the ground. Apparently after Lanxiang saw Ahri fainting, she hid her here with her companions who had hidden her in the cabinet.
At that time, when he and the shopkeeper entered the room, Ahri was probably still behind the cabinet. The fragrance on the beam, as well as the orchid fragrance, were all designed to lure me to the rouge shop. Then they killed people, silenced them, and then kidnapped the people.
The firelight shone on a sack in the corner. The sack squirmed and made noises inside. Xiao Yunfan walked to the sack and opened it. He saw a girl with disheveled hair inside and a hemp seed stuffed in her mouth. She looked exactly like the maid Lan Xiang. From this point of view, the Lanxiang he saw was naturally someone pretending to be one.
The real Lan Xiang couldn't help but tremble when she saw Xiao Yunfan. Xiao Yunfan reached out and pulled out the hemp core stuffed in her mouth, and then used a short sword to break the hemp rope tied to her body. Lan Xiang said in a trembling voice: "You...who are you?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Don't be afraid, girl, I am not a bad person."
Lan Xiang's eyes were still full of fear, as if she didn't trust him. Xiao Yunfan thought that there were two more corpses in the yard at this time. If she still stayed here, she would be questioned by the government. He took out some broken silver coins from his arms and put them into her hands and said, "Girl, your master has been killed by a gangster. I think you'd better run away for your life."
Lan Xiang was surprised when she heard this, and her face turned pale. She looked at Xiao Yunfan and asked, "Uncle, your surname is Xiao?" Xiao Yunfan nodded. Lan Xiang said: "Tie me up and let me bring you a message." Xiao Yunfan was startled at first and said: "What's the message?" Lan Xiang said: "You... You will be waiting in the elegant room of Tianzi No. 1, Wenxiang Building at the moment." Yunnan
Xiao Yunfan said: "Miss, do you know where the Wenxiang Building is?" Lan Xiang said: "Exit the gate and go west, to the third street intersection." Xiao Yunfan cupped his hands and said: "Thank you." After that, he turned around and walked out of the closet. And drilled out.
As he walked to the street, he thought to himself: "The other party is so deliberate, they must have been targeting me early in the morning. I don't know what kind of trick they have set up for me this time." As he walked, he thought: "I really don't know. Who has such a deep scheming? From the man selling candied haws, then the message from Lan Xiang, and finally the cupboard door that was deliberately left open.
This plan was so seamless that people were stolen right under my nose. It seems that I have to work hard to deal with such a powerful opponent. "
After a while, he came to Wenxiang's downstairs. There was a sedan parked in front of the building. Xiao Yunfan glanced at it and thought it looked familiar, so he didn't think much about it at the moment. Stepping through the door, the hall on the first floor was empty. A woman with fair complexion and wearing light green gauze smiled and said: "Xiao Daxia, you are indeed punctual."
Xiao Yunfan snorted coldly and said: "Huh, you are the ones who tied up my little sister." The woman said: "Master Xiao, please go upstairs, my master is waiting for you." Then she moved her lotus steps lightly and walked away Go to Xiao Yunfan's side and prepare to hold his arm. As she approached, the faint smell of rouge on her body was exactly what she smelled on the wooden beam.
Xiao Yunfan glanced at her and said coldly: "Xiao doesn't like this. I have hands and feet, so I'd better go upstairs by myself." Seeing that he was so confused about the amorous feelings, the woman pursed her lips and smiled, showing a slight dimple. . Said: "What kind of person do I think Daxia Xiao is? It turns out that even a little girl like me is afraid of him."
Xiao Yunfan went straight up the stairs and turned around and said, "It's a pity that you are a girl, otherwise I would have flattened your nose with one punch." The woman said, "Why?" Xiao Yunfan said, "Because the way you smile is so annoying. ." The woman seemed to have been stung by a scorpion, and her expression was extremely embarrassing. She looked at Xiao Yunfan hatefully, wishing she could bite his throat.
Two women stood at the door of Tianzihao Yajian, wearing black cloaks and holding long swords in their hands. When the two of them saw Xiao Yunfan approaching, they said in unison: "Welcome Master Xiao." Xiao Yunfan nodded and walked into the private room. Sitting in the private room was a woman wearing a goose-yellow gauze dress. This woman's appearance was exactly the same as Bai Ruoxuan's.
As soon as Xiao Yunfan saw her, he blurted out: "Miss Bai, why is it you?" The woman was startled, looked at him, and stretched out her jade hand to indicate that he could sit across from her. Xiao Yunfan took a closer look at her. This woman didn't seem to be Bai Ruoxuan. This woman has a black mole the size of a rice grain under her right eye, but Bai Ruoxuan does not.
In front of the square table were four exquisite side dishes and a crystal clear jade pot. Xiao Yunfan said: "Your Excellency, what is the purpose of arresting my little sister?" The woman looked at Xiao Yunfan with twitching eyes and said: "It seems that the hero Xiao has many red and pink confidants. There is a white girl and a green girl. Although I Wearing yellow clothes, but my surname is not Huang."
Xiao Yunfan said: "Your Excellency seems to have not answered me yet, who are you?" The woman smiled and said: "This little girl is naturally Xiao Daxia's enemy. However, I will be your employer soon." Xiao Yunfan said: "You want to hire me , I’m not a killer. Even if I were, I’m afraid you can’t afford the price I offer.”
The woman picked up the wine pot and poured a glass for Xiao Yunfan. Then he poured himself a glass. She said softly: "Xiao Daxia is really good at joking. As a little girl, I am most afraid of seeing blood, and I don't like killing people." Although her voice was soft, it was extremely pleasant, like the spring breeze blowing on the face, which was extremely beneficial.
Xiao Yunfan picked up the wine glass and drank without looking at it. The woman asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will poison the wine?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Afraid. But if I don't drink the wine handed to me by the beauty, it will be a big disgrace. What's more, you have something to ask me for, and you poison me to death. Then who will do the work for you?"
The woman raised her glass and took a sip. Two red clouds suddenly appeared on his face. Against the soft lighting in the elegant room, the color of her skin became even more soft and charming. The woman put down her wine glass and said slowly: "Your Excellency is indeed a smart man. No wonder my master appreciates you so much."
Xiao Yunfan said: "If you had said these words to me before, I would have been particularly happy. But now, I don't like such compliments very much. Being always praised by others will inevitably lead to pride. If a person is complacent, he will also be proud. It means that he is about to fall from a high place, and in the worst case, his life may be at stake."
The woman said: "A person like Xiao Daxia will never have such a day. A smart person will only do the right thing, and how can a person who always does the right thing make mistakes?" As she said this, she raised her wine again. She took the pot and poured a cup. At this moment, the bell on her white wrist rang.
Xiao Yunfan frowned and said: "Smartness leads to mistakes. If a person is too smart, he will have a lot of troubles chasing you and pestering you. As long as you are a human being, you will inevitably make mistakes. Will Xiao fall into the hands of the girl tonight? , and almost like a fool." The woman smiled brightly and said: "We designed Daxia Xiao, Daxia Xiao is completely defenseless. If you take precautions, I'm afraid none of us can escape your eyes."
Xiao Yunfan picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. He stared at the woman's face and said, "After talking for a long time, I haven't asked her her name yet, and I don't know what she wants to hire me for." The woman said, "I It’s called the Golden Bell, and it’s made of gold just like the bell on my hand. As for what we have to do…”
