Because Han Changmu had only spoken the word "Ruan" before, and the words were very unclear, Yao Yao did not hear clearly, and thought that the missing woman in Tuoba's house was just a member of Tuoba Fuyun's room, and did not associate it with her. to the person she was looking for.
She actually wanted to ask Qing Qian why she left without saying goodbye, but the question was really heartbreaking, so she thought about it and let it go.
Good thing, she didn't want to be beaten.
She blinked and asked: "My lord said that the three of them left together at the same time, so there must be something to do with it, but the three of them didn't know each other before."
Han Changmu narrowed his eyes and suddenly said in a cold voice: "Let's go to the Shen Family Restaurant."
Looking at the dark night outside, Yao Yao despaired.
Oh my God, if you stay up all night often, you will die from overwork.
Before Yao Yao could say anything, Leng Linjiang started wailing: "Jiuzhao, can you look at the time? It's already the ugly moment. If you don't sleep, you won't have to sleep."
Only then did Han Changmu realize that it was already so late at night, but he had always been a tireless person who was busy with official duties, forgetting to eat and sleep. When he thought about the unsolved problems at hand, it was like taking a shot of chicken blood, and all his fatigue and sleepiness disappeared. He waved his hand and said, "Yun Gui, you go and have a rest first. I'll take A Yao and Meng Suige over to take a look."
Yao Yao grinded his teeth and boldly said, "I don't even want to go to a humble position."
Before he could finish his words, Han Changmu cast a cold gaze, and Yao Yao immediately shrank his neck and shut his mouth.
Leng Linjiang knew Han Changmu's temperament and knew that he couldn't stop him. He sighed: "Okay, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you as a gentleman."
At this time, even the night owls found a comfortable place to lie down. There was not even a ghost in the streets. Han Changmu and his group walked quietly through the streets and alleys, holding the invincible Internal Security Department sign and knocking on it. Several gates rushed to the door of Shen's restaurant.
During the day, the red lantern with the word "Happy" fluttered in the night wind. It was originally the most festive and lively color, but after an accident, it looked particularly desolate and solemn at this time.
Han Changmu reached out and fiddled with the big lock hanging on the door and sneered.
Tonight's incident, I think it will spread throughout Chang'an City at dawn tomorrow.
By then, it will be difficult to find any clues from the Shen Family Restaurant.
He turned to the back wall of the wine shop, looked at the courtyard wall, which was as tall as a person, and raised his chin.
Meng Suige understood immediately, and with a few secret guards, he climbed over the wall easily, and then opened the door to the backyard.
Han Changmu and others filed in.
In order not to alarm others, these people did not light their lamps and walked all the way in the dark.
Entering the wine shop at this time, Han Changmu took the lead in lighting a lamp to illuminate the small backyard.
The yard is kept clean and tidy, without any unnecessary debris or weeds.
There are several half-person-high pickle jars neatly placed in the corner.
Under the sunny wall, there is a vegetable garden, with a few empty bamboo poles placed on the wall. This vegetable garden has obviously been abandoned for a long time, and the weeds are very lush.
Han Changmu's eyes flickered over the vegetable garden. It was obvious that the people from the Shen Family Restaurant had been planning to leave for a long time.
He didn't stay in the backyard for long. He looked around and ordered Meng Suige to lead someone to search the lobby. He took Yao Yao into the only room in the backyard that could accommodate people.
The door to the wing room was not locked, so with a slight push, the door opened.
Han Changmu lit the candle under the window and carefully looked at everything in the room.
The room is not big, with a clear view, and there is no trace of a wedding.
There was a long desk under the window, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated on it.
Further inside is a large bed with all the covers removed, leaving only an empty bed board.
Under the other wall, there were several elm boxes, with their lids open and empty inside.
In this scene, someone was ready to leave, and there was no sign of a hasty escape.
Han Changmu knew that Mrs. Shen did not give up running the Shen family restaurant when she married Wang Zhen, so.
His eyes narrowed. Was this Mrs. Shen performing a show for Wang Zhen?
He was thinking intently and heard Yao Yao sniff.
He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yao Yao frowned: "Don't you smell something, sir?"
Han Changmu sniffed carefully: "Is it the smell of dust?"
Yao Yao shook his head, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
She suddenly opened her eyes and said firmly: "Sir, this is medicine to treat burns, and it smells like white jade antiseptic ointment."
Han Changmu did not doubt Yao Yao's keen sense of smell at all. He paused for a moment and asked in confusion: "Can you use white jade antiseptic ointment to treat burns? It is obvious that the condition is extremely serious, even terminally ill, but Mrs. Shen's body does not have any There are no injuries and she can move freely. Obviously this medicine is not for her. There are other people living in this wing."
Yao Yao nodded: "Ms. Shen did not leave alone. She also took this dying person with her. Obviously this person is very important to her. This matter is not something she can do alone. There must be someone to help her." She planned it.”
Han Changmu's thoughts gradually became clearer, and he said in a deep voice: "Ms. Shen used this marriage in exchange for letting the person who helped her enter the Wang family for her and get what the person wanted."
Yao Yao pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "Since this is the case, these three people, oh, no, four people, four people who did not know each other disappeared at the same time, then can we assume that there is something wrong with them? The same thing can be exchanged, and the person who helps them is the same person."
Han Changmu and the two men quickly analyzed the context of the matter based on the vague smell of white jade remover, and gradually got closer and closer to the truth.
Han Changmu nodded: "What's left is what secrets in the Wang family are worth remembering."
He originally suspected that Yao Yao was the one who sneaked into the Wang family, but after listening to Meng Suige's words, he dispelled this suspicion, and told everything he found in the Wang family tonight, and said quietly: "Do you still remember that Water Saint envoy Zhou Wu? Marks?"
Yao Yao was particularly impressed by this woman who had a childlike face but opened her mouth with the voice of an old woman. She nodded heavily: "Sir, is it Zhou Wuhen who suspects Li Daitao of entering the Wang family?"
Han Changmu sighed softly: "I have only seen you and her who can have such unparalleled Qinggong skills. The only person who did this is her."
Yao Yao was stunned, and in an instant she heard the joking meaning in Han Changmu's words. She smiled and said: "Sir, you can just be arbitrary. Your Qinggong can also make the goose fly silently."
Han Changmu was stunned: "I am a man."
Yao Yao pouted: "If you dress up, I'm sure you'll look more like a girl than a girl."
Han Changmu snorted softly, gave a faint smile, and turned to look at the slip covered with thin dust.
Yao Yao was a little puzzled. How could this man have such a big heart? Even though his heart was gone, he could still laugh and still have the heart to joke.
Isn't he afraid of being exposed?
This thought only passed through her mind for a moment, then dissipated, and she followed Han Changmu to look at the case.
The candlelight swayed above, and the thin dust flowed and fluttered in the ray of light.
Han Changmu and Yao Yao exclaimed at the same time and looked at each other in surprise.
At first glance, there is nothing unusual about the dust, but when illuminated by candlelight, a closer look reveals that the dust is not evenly distributed, with some being deep and some shallow, some thick and some thin.
The thick dust is a gray patch, covering up the color of the wood itself.
And the places where the dust is thin reveal a faint dark red color, which is old and withered, and some can even see the cracks of the passage of time.
Yao Yao made virtual gestures with her hand: "Sir, these marks are very regular. Although they are big and small, you can see." She compared the larger marks and then the smaller marks: "You Look, this should be the mark left by the long-term placement of the tablets.”
Han Changmu nodded and counted carefully: "This one has contributed to at least sixteen tablets."
Yao Yao was speechless: "What kind of family is this? Sixteen people died in one breath. Doesn't this mean they must die?"
Han Changmu's eyes suddenly became cold and stern, thinking of the tragic incident sixteen years ago.
Sixteen people died was nothing. It was such a tragic incident that more than a thousand people died.
He took a shallow breath, calmed down his mind, and said with a normal expression: "Let's go and take a look ahead."
Yao Yao didn't hear any change in Han Changmu's voice, so he nodded and followed him to the lobby of the wine shop.
There are also red silk words "Happy" hanging in the lobby, and every dining table is covered with a layer of red cloth.
At first glance, it looked like a happy event had just been held.
Meng Suige and his secret guards had already carefully searched the lobby. They used a dagger to cut through the gaps in every table and bed, even the counter where the shopkeeper collects money and settles accounts.
Unfortunately, nothing was found in the end.
Han Changmu stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the lobby with cold eyes.
Yao Yao felt his legs were sore, so he picked up a clean bed and sat down, holding his chin and looking into the void, his eyes a little distracted.
She was so tired. She was seriously injured and had yet to recover.
The direction Han Changmu was looking coincided with the direction Yao Yao was looking, and they both landed on the counter.
The counter had been cleared away, and even the shelf behind the wine rack was empty.
Han Changmu didn't know if the people who came to welcome the bride today found anything wrong. Maybe they were so busy at the time that no one noticed these changes, but anyone with a careful mind could realize that Mrs. Shen was not willing to marry Wang Zhen, but Through this marriage, an escape plan was planned for the golden cicada to escape from its shell.
He sighed quietly and moved his eyes upward, landing on the small wooden signs hanging above the counter.
The wooden signs are the same size, and each one has the name of a dish written on it for ordering.
