As a sweetheart in the palm of your hand

Chapter 123

When the little girl who came to report the case heard that some officials were going to the brothel to look at the corpse, her face, which was already flushed from crying and could not see its original color, immediately became a little more frightened, and she cried bitterly: "This...sirs Can we all go?"

There was hope in her eyes, and her lips seemed to be trembling, as if it took all her courage to say these words.

The three looked at each other, and before they could say anything, the girl sniffed and said, "I dare not stay here alone, it's dark."

"Come back to the brothel with us." Zhou Ze said.

His words were indifferent, as if he was giving an order.In fact, the general informant does have to go to the scene of the crime with the people from the government.

As soon as the girl heard these words, she felt as if she was about to step on the guillotine, her face froze immediately, as if she was suffocating, she wiped her tears with her hands, she didn't know whether to pick it up or put it down, she stopped motionless in the air , a pair of eyes were fixed in the eye sockets, even the tears were frozen.

"No...I don't." She managed to squeeze out three words.

It was as if the brothel was a hell in eighteen cities, so she didn't even dare to think about it, let alone tell her to go.

Seeing her like this, several people felt a little helpless, so they had to find a yamen servant to accompany her, and then left the yamen.

The few people walked very quickly, and they arrived at Yanhonglou in a short while. At this time, the words Yanhonglou that were hanging upstairs were a little crumbling. As they walked up step by step, a strong smell of blood rushed into their noses before they entered the door. .

The three of them unconsciously raised their hands to block them, but as soon as they entered the building, they saw the tables and chairs overturned, many girls in tattered clothes, curled up in the corner, their eyes were full of longing , looking at them with a dark look of despair.

Ji Xuan looked around the lobby, and finally found the body under the wooden window.The corpse was stained with blood, and there was no complete place on the fat body. The clothes on the corpse had also turned bright red, and the original brown color could not be seen at all.

Ji Xuan walked over, and he didn't even need to squat down to know that it was hacked to death, the fatal wound was on the neck, and the murder weapon was inserted horizontally on the neck, telling people ostentatiously that it was a murderer.

"Are you all girls from the building?" Ji Xuan asked standing in front of the corpse.

Looking around in the lobby, there were probably dozens of girls with their heads bowed, curled up, crying, and naturally no one answered Ji Xuan.

"Which one is Miss Chunfeng?" Fang Wu asked after knocking on the Chunfeng hanging above the door on the second floor.

The background color of the three characters on the outside of this Yanhong Building is yellow. At first glance, it looks like a brothel listed in the government. These buildings have regulations, and the houses where girls live have their own names on them.

She met it once in the government by chance, so she knew about it.

For a moment, all the girls in the arena looked at the limp girl at the stairs.

The girl was wearing a bright yellow dress, with her hands on her knees and her head on the back of her hands, she was staring at the front dumbly, as if there was no response to the eyes cast on her by others, she didn't look at her. Fang Wu, only a pair of unfocused eyes are separated in the air.

Fang Wu walked over step by step,
However, the person opposite still didn't move, standing there like a sculpture.

She shook her hand in front of the spring breeze, but she didn't change at all.

She stepped forward to push her, and the body shook, as if it had no bones, but it was warm anyway, which told her that this person was alive.

"Miss Chunfeng, hello, I'm from the yamen. If there is no accident, I will handle this case. I want to know something, can I?"

She wanted to talk about something light-hearted, but the scene made people nervous, so she didn't deliberately change the subject.

However, she seemed to be talking to herself, and Chunfeng didn't give her a reply, not even turning her head to look at her.

He looked at Ji Xuan and Zhou Ze, the latter two were also sitting next to a girl and talking, but those girls didn't respond.

Several people asked questions many times and came in different ways, but nothing changed. In the end, they could only find the yamen servants to draw the scene here, and divided the girls into two groups. stay here.

The night passed quickly, but nothing progressed.

The girls in this mind are like dumb, they can only cry, look at them with innocent eyes, and don't say anything.

They went to see the girl who made the report again, and only then did they realize that it was about half an hour before the report.
Suddenly some people in black clothes entered the building, all of them held swords in their hands. When they entered the door, they either smashed things, or chased and slashed. Finally, they killed the old bustard and looted all the money in the brothel.

Just looking at it like this, it seems to be asking for money, but why is it a brothel?
Because it is named in the government, there are not many girls in the building, and this Fanzhizhou is not considered a place with many beauties, so there are not many guests inside.

And it was already late at night, and most of the drinkers had left, so most of the buildings were full of girls and maids.

After arranging the girls properly, the three of them sat together.

Zhou Ze was surprised and said: "This case is a bit strange. It doesn't look like asking for money, revenge, or robbery. The girls are all neat and tidy."

Ji Xuan sighed, and pointed to the portrait of the bustard in his hand: "We still have to do work from seeking money, and the other one I really want to ask is why you killed the bustard."

Is there a situation that this old bustard must die?Just what is this situation?

Could it be revenge?

But what kind of enemies can a bustard in a brothel have?

Such people even have very simple interpersonal relationships, but they are officials and rich young masters who come to visit the building, or the girls and oirans in the building, nothing else.

But neither had reason to kill a bustard.

Yes, why, everyone was silent for a while.

The case froze at once.

Everyone couldn't say anything, and the girls didn't open their mouths, so they had to leave first to see if there was any other direction.
So, the two went back to the yard together, and Fang Wu also bid farewell to Ji Xuan, who had no room because he was worried about the case.

But he saw that the door of Tan Sihan's room was slightly open, and there was a medicine stove at the door, and a fan could be vaguely seen inside, as if trying to gather the smell of medicine.

The two walked in anyway, a kerosene lamp was lit in the room, Bai Xi was sitting in front of the table, looking at Tan Sihan with resentful eyes,

The latter pinched his nose with two fingers, his eyes dodged innocently.
