"It can not only emit fragrance, but also cover half the street?" Wen Xiuyun was stunned for a moment when asked, her charming big eyes blinking.
"Um, is there such a sachet?"
"Hehe, Mr. Shen Qi's question is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Fragrance" means "light" usually comes from "single fragrance" sachets. There are many types of plant-based sachets, but light means it will not spread too far. It's fine indoors, but on the street Come on, if you want people within ten feet of you to smell it, it’s already a high-quality sachet. If you want the fragrance to cover half the street, I’m afraid you’ll need a big incense burner.”
At the end of the story, Wen Xiuyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She felt that Mr. Shen Qi, who was heroic and a little evil in front of her, turned out to have such a fun side. His knowledge of sachets was simply a joke. A layman.
Shen Hao touched his nose and didn't think there was anything funny about his questions. Instead, he paused and continued to ask: "What about the "sweet" sachet mentioned before? Can it be done?"
In Shen Hao's opinion, not everyone can distinguish the fragrance types clearly.
"It still doesn't work. Because whether it is "single fragrance" or "sweet fragrance", there is only a small fragrance capsule. The farther you want to spread out, the stronger the fragrance of the capsule itself must be. According to the general flag, you To put it bluntly, there is no sachet that can cover half the street. If there were, it would be so fragrant that it would be pungent or even smelly."
Hearing this, Shen Hao understood and secretly thought that he had taken it for granted before.
However, Shen Hao was still ready to give it another try, so he said, "Thank you, Miss Xiuyun, for helping Shen clear up his doubts. However, Shen still has a grudging request. I hope Miss Xiuyun can help."
"Mr. Shen Qi is so polite. Please tell me, little girl, is there anything I can do to help you again?"
"Can Miss Xiuyun please write me a list of sachets with a "fresh" scent? I would like to buy some and have them try it myself."
"Why bother buying them? I have sachets here, with a full range of varieties. I'll just ask the maid to pack some for you. They will definitely be enough for you."
Before Shen Hao could refuse, Wen Xiuyun had already called the maid in and gave her orders. Shen Hao's polite words were not uttered in the end.
After finishing the meal, things were settled, and Wen Xiuyun even offered to sing two songs for Shen Hao later. This kind of monotonous entertainment is already a rare enjoyment in this world, not to mention facing a top-notch beauty.
It's just that the money wasted is quite a lot.
When I came out of Jinxiu Pavilion, a maid brought me a box that was one foot square and half a foot thick. It was said that this was something Wen Xiuyun ordered to give to Shen Hao, and it should be the sachet inside.
While sitting on the carriage, Shen Hao opened the box. It was actually layered. Each layer had many well-sealed small grids. There were thirty grids on one layer, making a total of four layers.
Shen Hao opened one of the compartments and immediately smelled a very soothing fragrance. There was also a small note inside which indicated which sachet was sealed in this compartment.
"This thing is pretty good."
...
At noon the next day, Shen Hao took the box and once again found the breakfast stall owner who was closing the stall, Liu Yan's father.
"Come on, come and smell it and see if this scent is the same scent you smelled when your baby disappeared."
Shen Hao ordered soy milk and meat pie as usual, and asked Liu Yan's father to sit on the side and open the boxes one by one to smell them.
"Not this one."
"This... is not either."
"Huh? This seems a little bit, no, it's not."
...
Liu Yan's father smelled very carefully. He had already guessed that the identity of the guest named Shen was probably unusual, and he was trying to help him. So very cooperative.
Shen Hao remained silent and looked at the other person's expression carefully. Unfortunately, after sniffing through a large box of sachets one by one, I could not find the smell at the time of the crime.
The only thing that made Liu Yan's father stay for a moment longer was one kind of sachet, but in the end he shook his head after confirming it again and again.
According to what Wen Xiuyun said before, the 120 kinds of fragrance sachets in this box are already the most complete on the market, and some of them are even treasures collected by Wen Xiuyun. If these are not, then basically It can be ruled out that the fragrance these people smelled at the time of the incident did not come from the sachet.
"Well, Brother Shen, are you from the Yamen, right?" Liu Yan's father asked tentatively.
"No. What's wrong?"
"Are you helping me investigate the disappearance of my baby?"
"Yes, don't worry, I won't let you down again this time. We must get to the bottom of it. Okay, let's go." Shen Hao responded with a smile, then picked up the box and stood up to leave.
As soon as Shen Hao left, the proprietress of the shop followed him out and walked behind her man.
"The head of the house, that person is from the Yamen, right?"
"He said no." Liu Yan's father did not look back, his expression looked a bit stunned.
"Why do people who are not from the Yamen worry about our daughter? Hey, what's wrong with you, the head of the family?"
"People who are not from the Yamen were able to investigate our girl's case, and they came just after I put the letter in the copper cabinet. Do you think it could be Xuan, the master of Xuan Qingwei?!"
"Ah! No, isn't it?!"
But I never thought that Liu Yan's father would jump up first as he spoke, and stammered with a horrified look on his face: "I remembered where I was, I saw him!"
"Who is it? Look, you're shocked!"
"In the East Market, I went to see the beheading not long ago, and it was him who oversaw the beheading! He is, hey, the chief flag officer of the Black Flag Battalion!"
...
As soon as I returned to the public house, the guard outside the door said that Feilong was coming.
It was still the headquarters of the Black Flag Battalion, and it was still the torture room with the brazier burning but still eerie.
Although it was the second time he came here, Feilong couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine. He even sat on the chair with his head lowered, not daring to look at the two shirtless men around him.
I kept cheering myself up in my heart: Feilong, don’t be afraid, what kind of scene have you never seen before? Be tough!
He is a giant in his heart, but his body is very honest. Even a normal person would be afraid of entering Xuanqingwei's torture chamber.
The door was pushed open and Shen Hao walked in. He sat opposite Feilong and said with a smile: "Feilong, how is the investigation going?"
"Mr. Shen, don't worry when I do this. But I'm really exhausted this time. I traveled to nine cities in three days. It cost more than five hundred taels just to hire someone to go to Hualou..."
"Want to add more money? Easy to talk to." Shen Hao signaled, and the guard behind him took out two silver notes with a denomination of one thousand taels and placed them in front of Feilong.
Two thousand taels of silver notes was not a small amount. Feilong subconsciously licked his lips. Veins popped up on his palms. He wanted to take it but resisted and did not dare to move.
"Hehe, Mr. Shen is just right! This time I went to find some friends who were messing around in the black market in Jingxi. I didn't mention you. I made an excuse, saying that I took over a group of people who wanted to purchase in large quantities. And customers who want to touch blind magic instruments and sellers who want to touch this area..."
