"Actually, he saved my life that night..."
Wan Xin only told the story about the drunkard's evil plan against her, but not about the monster attack.
"What!?"
Thirteenth Niang's reaction was exactly as Huan Xin had guessed. Her face was filled with eagerness, "You didn't even tell me that such a big thing happened? Ocha, do you still think of me as a girl in your eyes?"
In desperation, he directly called out his nickname.
"Isn't it okay?"
With a heart-warming smile, she took Thirteenth Niang's hand and said, "I know you will be anxious if I tell you."
"Look what you said, what do you mean it's okay!"
Thirteenth Niang narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sense of danger overflowed from the corner of her eyes, "Someone dares to attack you. Could it be that I, Thirteenth Niang, am a vegetarian? Ahcha, tell me who it is, and Thirteenth Niang will avenge you!"
From Jingnan to Peiping, and then to Chunyue Tower to become famous now, Thirteen Niang is a weak woman, but to be able to reach this point, she has great tricks under her hands, so she must not be underestimated.
"Thirteenth Mother, please don't get excited yet."
Wan Xin comforted him and said, "Deputy Li Qianhu has already sent him to the Yamen. Besides..."
It took a lot of persuasion to extinguish the anger in Thirteenth Niang's heart.
Looking at the heart-wrenchingly beautiful face, she felt a mixture of emotions in her heart. She just said: "It's okay, it's fine. If you have both longs and two shortcomings, Thirteenth Mother won't be able to survive."
"Thirteenth Mother, don't talk nonsense."
Wan Xin hugged Thirteen Niang’s neck with both hands and buried her head in her temples.
"Then tell mother, are you interested in Deputy Li Qianhu?"
"oops!"
Waves of cute laughter echoed in the attic.
…
…
"The deceased's name is Liu Hao, known as Mouse. He is in his twenties this year. He is a gangster and a gambler. The person who reported the case is his sweetheart, Mrs. Zhang, who is a widow who has lost two husbands. They have known each other for at least three years."
Solemn words sounded in the charnel house.
Thin skylight poured down from the upper window, and countless dust particles danced in the light.
On a wooden bed, there was a narrow and rough blood mark in the center of Liu Hao's chest, which was extremely hideous and terrifying, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which was very paradoxical.
"According to Ms. Zhang, on the night of New Year's Day, Liu Hao suddenly came to her with a knife wound on his right arm. After Ms. Zhang bandaged him, she went to the kitchen to get him some food. Unexpectedly, when she came back, Liu Hao had already He died with his heart still in his hands."
Yuan Bin pointed to the scissors dipped in dark red blood scabs and said: "The key point is that he committed suicide. He used these scissors to cut open his own skin and take out organs such as his heart and liver."
Li Kui remained silent, looking at the corpse with a lowered eyebrow.
He knows Liu Hao.
He turned out to be the drunk man that night.
Coincidence?
How could there be such a coincidence in the world? !
at the same time.
"Your Excellency, His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson."
Yuan Bin paused, composed his words, and continued: "Before going to Widow Zhang's house, Liu Hao went back home and robbed the two elders of their hard-earned savings. His father suffered a broken ankle and a broken head. .
"Everyone in the neighborhood knew about this that day."
"Hmph, even if you are a ruffian, you are still an unfilial son." Zhu Zhanji narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the corpse in disgust: "You really deserved to die.
"Li Kui, what do you think?"
Li Kui moved his fingers lightly.
He immediately saw Liu Hao's belly opened, revealing his flesh and blood that had been invaded by black mold, and said, "This kind of mold takes a day to grow."
Whether it is Lin Dongdong or Qu Bu, the mold in their bodies is like this.
So, does one day mean anything special?
"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhanji frowned slightly.
He knew that Li Kui couldn't have targeted it innocently, and there must be a deep meaning in it.
"I've met Liu Hao before, and it was a casual relationship."
"oh?"
Li Kui spoke briefly and concisely about what saved his heart that day, and finally said:
"I think there must be no coincidence in this."
"Oh, I didn't expect that our Deputy Li Qianhu came to save the beauty without saying a word!" When talking about this topic, Zhu Zhanji suddenly became interested, and there seemed to be the fire of gossip burning in his eyes, "I just didn't know this What does a heart-warming girl look like?"
"Stunning beauty!"
It was Yuan Bin who spoke, holding back a smile.
"You two..." Li Kui couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Is this the point?"
"Of course it's the key point!" Zhu Zhanji said sternly: "If you say this is not a coincidence, then it must be inextricably related to this heart-saving girl. His Highness feels the need to come and remind you."
Hearing this, Li Kui raised his eyebrows helplessly:
"Okay, I'll go there."
"It's not you, it's us!" Zhu Zhanji quickly corrected.
"Okay, let's do it."
Li Kui felt helpless.
Why didn't I realize that this kid was very gossipy?
Immediately afterwards.
"I'll keep this body first."
Li Kui looked at Liu Hao's body, thoughts flashing in his eyes.
Zhu Zhanji was right, but...there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. All kinds of thoughts passed by, and he made a plan in an instant.
"Then where should we find this heart-warming girl?"
"Chun Yue Tower!"
…
The scene changes.
…
Chunyue Tower only had one day off on New Year's Day and resumed normal business the next day.
It was afternoon, and Li Kui and three others walked into the alley.
Chen Hu didn't follow, so Zhu Zhanji told him to go do something.
"It's quite remote."
Zhu Zhanji looked at the newly painted vermilion door of Chunyue Tower and said with interest:
"Yuan Bin, do you think the girls here are all prostitutes but not their bodies?"
"Back to the emperor, young master, yes."
Yuan Bin said softly.
"rare."
Zhu Zhanji smiled slightly.
It's not that there are no women who are not prostitutes but they are absolutely rare.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them walked into Chunyue Tower.
There were only a few patrons in twos and threes, and Li Kui and the others quickly attracted attention. Although they were not wearing the iconic flying fish clothes today, their faces were remembered by Mr. Turtle who was welcoming the guests.
He trotted over in a hurry and said with a flattering smile: "Two adults and gentlemen, please take a seat."
"Let Thirteenth Mother and Wan Xin come over."
Li Kui's tone was calm.
"Qiulan, you take the two adults to the third floor, and I'll call Thirteenth Mother."
Lord Turtle immediately called for a beautiful woman and led Li Kui and others to the third floor.
We went straight to a room on the third floor and opened the door. The space was quite spacious, with a small platform of half a meter, covered with a red carpet, and two pots of flowers in the window. It gave people a very elegant impression.
"This thirteenth lady has a good business acumen."
After Zhu Zhanji sat down, he looked at it for a moment and nodded gently.
If the first and second floors belong to the general public, then the third floor belongs to VIP members, and the hierarchy is immediately obvious.
"correct."
Immediately, Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "If you don't come to the palace on New Year's Day, could you spend it with this heart-warming girl?"
"..."
Li Kui looked at him and blinked;
Zhu Zhanji was stunned and blinked.
at this time.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the Thirteenth Niang came in, followed by several girls carrying snacks and wine. They came to the front and made a pilgrimage. They raised their eyebrows and looked around. Their eyes lingered on Li Kui, and he said with a smile. :
"Thirteenth Niang has met Deputy Li Qianhu, Mr. Yuan Qi, the young master."
Then she asked: "Is Deputy Li Qianhu also here to investigate the case this time?"
Li Kui smiled slightly:
"Yes and no."
Hearing this, Thirteenth Niang subconsciously frowned.
"Please ask the heart-warming girl to come over first."
At this time, Zhu Zhanji spoke.
Thirteenth Niang looked at Zhu Zhanji. He had a tall figure and a handsome and resolute face. Anyone who looked at him would praise him for being such a handsome young man.
However, these eyes that read countless people instinctively told her that the person in front of her was either rich or noble, and he was the kind of person who was indescribably noble. If he could travel with the deputy Qianhu of Jin Yiwei, what would his identity be?
Thirteenth Niang's mind was spinning and she said, "In that case, I'll go and ask for help."
"I've met you all in Wanxin."
Suddenly, soft words came from the door, just to save his heart.
The green figure stood tall and graceful, with a slight smile, revealing the pear dimples.
