Gan Yu closed her eyes and recalled, and soon opened her eyes, nodded and said: "Yes, I have smelled a similar smell before, but... what does this scent represent?"

"Maybe there are other clues on the corpse," Qi Lin walked up to the corpse without saying a word, and as expected, with sharp eyes, he immediately found a very simple-looking small glass bottle beside the corpse.

The glass bottle was about the size of a fingernail, and it was unattractive, so it was easy to be ignored. Qi Lin carefully picked up the glass bottle, handed it to Gan Yu, and said, "Mother Gan Yu, you Look, this small glass bottle seems to contain some kind of fragrance powder, maybe... the target of that murderer is not the color of the clothes, but... the smell on the body, the girl who has applied this fragrance powder will feel more Attract the murderer's attention."

"This is indeed very possible," Gan Yu didn't seem to doubt why her son dared to touch the corpse, and why she could make an analysis so calmly. She focused all her attention on the case in front of her. She showed a thoughtful expression and said, "Speaking of incense powder, as long as you go to that place, you might get some clues, Mengmeng, come with me."

After all, without waiting for Qi Lin to reply, Gan Yu took his hand and strode away.

Perhaps it was because of finding new clues. Gan Yu's speed was extremely fast. Even Qi Lin, who was physically fit, couldn't keep up with her speed. Fortunately, the destination was not too far away, and it didn't take long. However, the two of them were already standing in front of a store.

The decoration of the store door is quite ambiguous. On the pink plaque, the three characters "Chunxiang Kiln" are engraved. It's hard not to think of something strange as a beautiful and fragrant female shop assistant.

If Qi Lin hadn't known the "true inside story" of this "Chunxiang Kiln", I'm afraid he would have suspected that it was some kind of strange storefront.

A female clerk who looked no more than ten years old, when she saw Gan Yu, she immediately showed a somewhat helpless expression, stepped forward two steps, and said helplessly: "Master Gan Yu, why are you here again? I have already said a lot After all, this shop is just a very ordinary rouge and gouache shop, and has never done any illegal business, if you don't believe it, you can go in and check it out."

"You misunderstood, Miss Ying'er," Gan Yu shook her head, with a slightly embarrassed expression, "I... I came here for other things."

That's right, this girl is Ying'er who will be called "Liyue Old Driver" in the future, but now she is just a teenage girl.

Although she is young, she has already done a lot of research on all kinds of cosmetics, plus she has a quick mind and knows how to think about customers' minds, so she has already become the acting store manager of Chunxiang Kiln.

"Oh, I'm not here to check the store!" Ying'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, but then put on a commercial smile and said, "If I guessed correctly, is it possible that Mr. Gan Yu is here? If you are buying powder, then I will give you a good recommendation. According to your temperament, this bottle of 'Condensation Fragrance' is the most suitable. Just add a little bit on your body, and it will exude a refreshing fragrance that penetrates the heart and spleen. .”

"Sorry," Gan Yu said with a helpless smile, "I'm not here to buy things."

"Ah?" Seeing that there was no business to do, the smile on Ying'er's face immediately disappeared, and she said a little depressed: "Master Gan Yu, our Chunxiang Kiln is just a small business. Please do not come to disturb our business."

"Is it possible to continue the discussion as long as we do business?" Qi Lin suddenly got out, handed a bag of Mora to Ying'er, and said with a smile, "I bought this bottle of face powder."

"Hey! Master Qi Lin is really generous!" Ying'er picked up the money, and her attitude changed 180 degrees. She saw a rather ambiguous smile on her face, and said, "Tsk tsk tsk , Unfortunately, you are still too young, otherwise, the shop can provide some 'special services' to the young master."

"Ahem!" Gan Yu blushed, quickly blocked Qi Lin behind her, and said seriously: "There is no need, Mengmeng is still a child, since the things have been bought, let's talk now... Let's get down to business, do you know this bottle of face powder?" Gan Yu took out the face powder bottle she had picked up from the deceased before.

Looking at the plain glass bottle without a trademark, Yinger frowned slightly. She took the powder bottle, opened it carefully, fanned the smell with her hand, and smelled it carefully. Hearing this, his brows furrowed a little deeper.

"How is it?" Seeing Yinger's expression changed, Gan Yu quickly asked, "Do you have any clues?"

"Of course there are clues," Ying'er sighed, and said, "It's a long story, but Mrs. Gan Yu looks very anxious, so I'll make a long story short. This bottle of incense powder is called 'Wumingxiang' is not only the incense powder sold in this store, but also developed by myself, but this bottle of incense powder is different from other incense powders."

"Indeed, all the incense powder of Chunxiang Kiln will be carved with the unique mark of Chunxiang Kiln on the outside of the bottle, and the decoration is generally quite gorgeous." Qi Lin also nodded, and said thoughtfully: "But, this bottle The packaging of the incense powder looks unremarkable, and it doesn’t have any markings, it doesn’t look like a product from Chunxiang Kiln at all.”

"Wait a minute..." Gan Yu suddenly narrowed her eyes slightly, and said, "Mengmeng, how do you know so clearly?"

Indeed, Qi Lin is a boy, how could he go to Chunxiang kiln to buy incense powder?

"Ah..." Qi Lin was at a loss for words for a while, his little face was flushed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Master Gan Yu doesn't know about this matter," but Ying'er suddenly covered her mouth with a smile, and said, "Master Qi Lin is a regular customer of this store, and he orders several waves of gifts here every year. Remember the list, Miss Keqing from Kefu, Master Xingqiu from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, and..."

"Ahem!" Qi Lin coughed twice quickly, and said, "Let's talk about business, talk about business!"

"Mengmeng!" Gan Yu suddenly showed an aggrieved expression on her face, and said, "Why hasn't Mom received it?"

"Because I thought Gan Yu's mother didn't like this kind of thing..." Qi Lin smiled a little embarrassedly: "Besides, every year on Gan Yu's mother's birthday, don't I give other gifts?"

"No matter!" Gan Yu rarely showed a coquettish expression, and said, "Mom will also want it in the future!"

"Okay, okay!" Qi Lin smiled helplessly, and said, "This bottle of condensed incense should be regarded as a gift from last year."

"That..." Looking at the inexplicable pair of mother and child in front of her, Ying'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you still listening?"

"Sorry!" Gan Yu nodded embarrassingly, and said, "Please continue."

"The reason why this bottle does not have the logo of our store is because I ordered this powder for a certain client." Ying'er explained: "This nameless fragrance is made of a very rare spar It is made of materials, but the taste is too restrained, and few customers will buy it, so it was discontinued not long after it was put on the shelves."

"Indeed..." Qi Lin touched his chin and said, "This smell is indeed very weak, and most people can't smell it at all."

"However, there is a daughter from a wealthy family who seems to like this kind of incense powder very much. After learning that the production was discontinued, she asked Chunxiang Kiln to continue to produce Wuming incense." Ying'er shrugged her shoulders and said with a wry smile: "However, our Chunxiang Since the kiln is in business, it must take the cost into consideration, and naturally it will not specialize in the production of a kind of incense powder for a customer, and it will not even return the money."

"However, that young lady doesn't seem to give up at all, and she comes here almost every day to ask us to continue making nameless incense." Ying'er shook her head and said, "Later, I was so tossed that I couldn't do it, so I promised her to do it in private. Of course, she only charged the cost and manual fee for making this kind of incense powder. Since it is a private production, it is naturally impossible to use the packaging and marking of Chunxiang kiln, so I used this ordinary bottle to fill her incense powder."

"So that's how it is..." Gan Yu nodded, but suddenly asked in doubt: "But if that's the case, why did this kind of incense powder fall into the hands of others?"

"This matter is quite pitiful..." Ying'er sighed and said, "Who knows, that rich daughter was seriously ill all the time, and died not long after, but her thoughts are quite serious. For kindness, before he died, he specially sent someone to tell me that girls from poor families may not be able to afford incense powder. If someone likes the leftover unnamed incense, they can give it to them directly. I see that the remaining unnamed incense is only A few bottles, but it is impossible to sell it under the name of Chunxiang Kiln, so I agreed."

"Could it be the Second Miss of the Liang Mansion?" Gan Yu seemed to recall something, and said, "According to my memory, if it is a big family, only the Second Miss Liang died of illness within half a year."

"That's right, it's that Miss Liang Er." Ying'er shook her head, with a regretful expression on her face: "It's really pitiful, it is said that she is going to get married soon, but this kind of thing happened, but Ah... I don't know if you know, there is a rumor about Miss Liang, but it's so evil!"

"What rumor?" Qi Lin and Gan Yu asked at the same time.

"You may not believe it, but to be honest, even I don't believe it," Yinger's face showed a somewhat frightened expression: "It is said that not long after the death of the second Miss Liang, the tomb was robbed. Already!"

"What's wrong with this?" Qi Lin wondered, "Maybe it's the Treasure Thieves Group. As far as I know, there are some members of the Treasure Group who don't steal money from the living, but rely on fighting for their livelihood."

"The evil door is right here," Ying'er bit her lip, and said with a look of fear on her face, "It is said that the funeral objects such as gold and silver jewelry in the tomb are not missing, only one thing is missing."

"What?" Qi Lin opened his mouth subconsciously, but suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes wide and said, "Could it be..."

"That's right!" Ying'er nodded and said, "It's Miss Liang's body that was lost!"

As soon as this remark came out, both Gan Yu and Qi Lin had expressions of shock on their faces. After all, they had only heard of grave robbers stealing funeral objects, but never of corpses.

"I have indeed heard about this matter," Gan Yu said with a frown, "However, the Liang family did not report the case to the General Affairs Department, so I just took it as a rumor. Could it be that...the Second Miss Liang also had a relationship with the General Affairs Department?" Is it related to this case?"

"Case? What case?" Ying'er's complexion immediately changed when she heard the word "case", "Isn't it, it has something to do with this fragrance powder?" Although Ying'er started doing business early, She seemed a little mature, but she was only a teenage girl after all, and she was unavoidably nervous when she thought that she might be involved in the lawsuit.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious, we're just here to collect evidence," Qi Lin quickly comforted in order not to cause too much trouble: "Do you know who gave these incense powders? Is there any left?" ?”

"Generally speaking, the products sold by Chunxiang Kiln will have invoice records, so it is not difficult to find buyers," Yinger said with a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face, "However, since these nameless incenses are Of course, there will be no record of those who are sent out, I just remember that there are five bottles of nameless incense left, and they have all been given away, as for who they gave it to, Liyue Port is so big, it is impossible for me to know all of them."

"Five bottles..." Gan Yu frowned slightly.

Because so far, the girls who were found murdered by the murderer happened to be five people. That is to say, if the target of the murderer is really only the girl who used this fragrance powder, then if no clue is found today Huh, maybe that murderer will never make a move again.

And this case will become unsolved.

As we all know, the most difficult murder case in the world to solve is this kind of random murder case. In ordinary murder cases, the criminal who has the motive for committing the crime can also be determined by investigating the victim's network.

But if the murderer has nothing to do with the victim, it will be much more difficult to find the real murderer, not to mention that there is no such thing as a "camera" in Liyue Port.

"I understand." Gan Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. In addition, please don't make this kind of incense powder in the short term."

"Why should I make this kind of unsalable incense powder?" Ying'er shook her head and said, "However, speaking of which, I heard that Liang's family is very strict, and the second Miss Liang almost never goes out on weekdays. The smell of this nameless incense is so faint, who is she using it for?"

This seemingly casual sentence, but it seemed to be the NPC prompt in every chapter of "Detective Conan", immediately awakened Qi Lin.

Among them... there must be something hidden!

…………

After finding the clues, Gan Yu and Qi Lin naturally rushed back to Jianglin Mansion immediately. Who knew that just after entering the gate, they saw a tall, silver-haired beauty standing in the hall with her hands on her hips and her face full of tears. Angry, it seems that he has been waiting for a long time.

It was none other than Liyue's Tianquan star, Qi Lin's godmother Ningguang.

"Gan Yu!" As soon as Gan Yu entered the door, Ning Guang walked forward, her delicate face was full of anger and confusion: "I already know what happened today, what are you thinking? How can you make that kind of oath? In three days, if you can't catch that murderer, do you really want to leave Liyue Port?"

Ningguang's city is extremely deep, let alone angry, usually she doesn't even have a little bit of strong emotion, but this time she looked angry, it was obvious that she was really angry.

"I... I can't help it..." Gan Yu seemed to know that her decision was too impulsive, so she explained helplessly: "The situation at that time, if you can't give an accurate answer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm down. Public outrage."

"If you really leave Liyue Port, the people of Liyue Port might angrily throw stones at my Qunyu Pavilion!" Ning Guang crossed her arms, shook her head and said, "However, since the oath It's already been exported, and there is no room for redemption, how about this, you go outside and stay for two or three years, it is considered a vacation, after the limelight passes, I will find a reason to call you back, alas... Let alone two or three years, without you, Yuehai Pavilion might be paralyzed in two or three weeks."

"Wait a minute!" Gan Yu said hastily, "Why do you assume that I won't be able to find the murderer within three days?"

"It's not easy to find the murderer!" Ning Guang raised his eyebrows and said: "If this matter is really related to fools, then the doctor must have the ability to hide the murderer... By the way, if it is not possible, we will agree to the doctor's conditions. Let him help us find the murderer."

"This matter is absolutely impossible!" Gan Yu's face immediately showed a firm expression: "This is a matter of principle, even if only fools are left to place a soldier in Liyue Port, it is a great insult to Liyue. What's more, I have found a breakthrough in this case."

After all, Gan Yu took out the bottle of Wumingxiang, and told Ningguang exactly what she asked at Chunxiang Kiln today.

"There are still such things, that is to say, the real target of the murderer is actually the woman who used this fragrance powder?" Ning Guang seemed to realize something, squinting his eyes and asked: "So, are you going to use the powder?" Is this nameless incense used to attract murderers?"

"This is the only way I can think of," Gan Yu looked at the little powder left in the glass bottle, and said helplessly, "Anyway, this matter, only I can do it... I must do it too. "

Qi Lin, who was at the side, remained silent. In his heart, he had already begun to think about other methods.

Qi Lin naturally trusted Gan Yu's mother's strength, but he always felt that there must be something hidden behind this case. If he could learn the truth, he might be able to directly determine the identity of the murderer.

Qi Lin even vaguely felt that that murderer might be inextricably linked to the rumor that Miss Liang's body disappeared.

"Okay..." Ning Guang could only sigh, and said helplessly, "However, these powders are probably only enough for you alone. Is it really okay for you alone?"

"If I'm alone, I won't be tied down," Gan Yu said with a smile on his face, "After all, when it comes to fighting, I still have a little bit of confidence."

Indeed, it is "billion points" self-confidence.

Ningguang also had to admit that this seemingly weak and gentle girl in front of her was, in a sense, indeed the combat power of the first echelon of Liyue Port.

If you don't count the Rock King Dijun who basically doesn't participate in worldly affairs, it's not wrong to say that she is the strongest in Liyue Port.

"However, there is one more thing. I want to trouble you." Gan Yu suddenly patted Ningguang on the shoulder, looked at Qi Lin and said, "Help me keep an eye on Mengmeng, and absolutely don't let him sneak out again."

For Gan Yu, there is nothing "scary" in this world.

In fact, Gan Yu doesn't mind at all even if she resigns from the position of Seven Star Envoy and Secretary-General of Yuehai Pavilion. For her, this may even be a kind of "relief".

Gan Yu's only weakness is Qi Lin.

When Qi Lin disappeared or might be in danger, Gan Yu would inevitably be frightened.

Therefore, in order to be able to act without any worries, Gan Yu absolutely does not allow Qi Lin to encounter any possible dangers.

"Gan Yu's mother..." Qi Lin said helplessly, "Don't worry, I will definitely stay at home!"

"Little fool, of course I believe you." Gan Yu smiled warmly at Qi Lin, and then said to Thor who was at the side: "I will ask you to patrol around Jianglin Mansion tonight, and you must not let Mengmeng leave Jianglin Mansion." Half a step from Lin Mansion."

"okay!"

I saw Thor squeezed his fists, and while jumping left and right, he showed a very confident expression: "I will patrol the sky above Jianglin Mansion tonight, and I will definitely not even be able to fly out!"

"I'll help take care of Lin'er too," Ning Guang touched Qi Lin's head, and said with a smile, "Sleep with Godmother tonight, don't even think about going anywhere!"

"Okay... okay..." Qi Lin couldn't help showing a somewhat depressed expression on his face, but he still forced a smile and said, "That... that's really great."

In fact, Qi Lin is naturally not the kind of brat who likes to look for trouble, but tonight, he really needs to go out to find out the "truth" of this case.

However, of course Gan Yu didn't know that even if he set up a lot of insurance, it would be difficult to trap his cub.

…………

After dinner, Gan Yu habitually changed into the red student uniform, and seeing the overwhelmed button on her chest, the expressions on the faces of several people were inevitably complicated.

Especially Irena, after saying "I'm sleepy", she left immediately. After all, with her "standard", standing between the three women Gan Yu, Ning Guang and Thor is unavoidably awkward.
