"Which of you has stayed in this Xiangman Garden for more than three years?"

The group of women looked at each other, and finally, a lively woman in red tulle pointed at a woman who had been quiet all along and said, "My lord, Wanniang has been here for more than three years, Wanniang, right?"

Mu Shen looked at the woman, her clothes were much darker than other girls, she had a beautiful face, with heavy makeup on, but it was still difficult to hide the lines around her eyes.With some thought in his mind, he asked, "Are you Wanniang?"

The woman lowered her head and said, "Master Hui, the little girl is Wanniang."

Mu Shen looked at Gu Linshan next to him, glanced at Wanniang's direction, and raised his eyebrows at him.Gu Linshan understood, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. He looked at Wanniang and asked, "Wanniang, when Miss Lingling died three years ago, were you in the Garden of Fragrance?"

"Master, I'm here."

"Okay, now I hope you can tell us in detail how the four girls were killed, can you?"

Wanniang's complexion changed, her eyes flickered, she was obviously afraid of this matter, and she didn't want to mention it further.

Gu Linshan looked at her, but he was not worried, and continued: "As long as you can tell what you know, all the money on the table will belong to you. I guess, you should be very short of money now."

Hearing about Yinliang, Wanniang seemed to start to hesitate.Although I don't know how the young master in front of me knows, but she really needs money. She came to Xiangmanyuan at the age of 17, and now she is 27 years old. She has spent a whole ten years here.

She is most afraid of beauty's twilight and aging face. She knows very well what it means to be old in a brothel.She wants someone to rely on, a man who will love her and pity her, they will marry and have children, they don't need to be rich, a poor farm life is enough.I hope that one day I can live a normal life, instead of spending my whole life in this gold cave, with no cleanliness, no name and no title.

Fortunately, she met that person, who was just a small peddler who walked all over the streets and alleys, and there was a sound of hawking.He is nameless and ordinary, but every time he delivers goods to Xiangmanyuan, he will keep the best rouge and the best jewelry for himself.

However, his family was poor and had no money to redeem her, so she needed money, a lot of money.Moreover, she was afraid. After seeing the tragic death of those girls, she was afraid.

She was afraid that she would also suffer this kind of hardship, and once a person has hope, he is full of unwillingness and fear of death.The young masters and ladies in front of them are obviously not ordinary people, maybe they can find out the cause of the deaths of those girls, and they can realize their own dreams.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, she raised her head and said to Gu Linshan and the others, "Okay, I'll talk."

Three years ago, Xiangmanyuan was full of people coming and going, and it was very lively. The four girls Lingling, Xia Xia, Yinyin, and Qingqing were even more beautiful.

Among them, Miss Lingling has an extraordinary dancing posture, Miss Xiaxia has a peerless piano sound, Miss Yinyin has a singing voice like an oriole, and Miss Qingqing has a delicate skin as white as jade, although she does not have any special talents.When these four girls were here, it was also the most glorious era for Xiangmanyuan.

In the building, it was Lingling and Miss Xia Xia who had the accident first.

Miss Lingling and Miss Xiaxia are the most beautiful people in the building, even Yinyin and Qingqing can't compare in this regard.It's because Lingling and Xia Xia are the lovers of Feng, the owner of Maple Leaf Villa, and the owner of Feng Lianye is an unattainable figure in their hearts, but he often visits Xiangmanyuan, and the thing he loves the most is listening to Xia Xia's words. The sound of the piano, watching Lingling dance to the sound.After going back and forth, the two girls soon became deeply attached to the owner.

"Haha, I didn't expect this owner to be quite romantic. I really want to see what he looks like." Chao Yan said while eating the candied fruit on the plate.

Wanniang lowered her head and smiled slightly: "The owner of the villa has an extraordinary appearance, his martial arts are world-class, he is a leader of integrity, and he has never underestimated us brothel girls, so we naturally admire him very much."

Mu Yan rolled her eyes, looked at Luo Yunfei who was sitting beside her and said, "Miss Luo, is your master really that handsome?"

Luo Yunfei nodded and smiled, "That's natural."

"Then I really want to see him, but anyway, he definitely doesn't have my family...Brother Mu Shen is handsome, hee hee." Mu Yan patted her chest, hoo, luckily she didn't let go.

Luo Yunfei also glanced slightly at Gu Linshan, blushing and said: "Well, Lin... well, the two young masters are also very heroic."

"Thank you Miss Luo for your compliment, let's continue to listen to what Wanniang said." Mu Shen on the side finally opened his mouth, stopped the topic, and then looked at Mu Yan with a smile, so Mu Yan almost swallowed the fruit core down.

"Okay." Wanniang continued.

On the night Miss Xia Xia died, the owner of the villa did not come, so she was going to perform on stage to perform dances, but who knows, something happened before she came on stage.

Wanniang still feels horrified when she recalls the scene of that day. She has never seen so much blood, as if the whole land was soaked with red moon blood. There was also a bloody smell.

"Did anything unusual happen that day?" Gu Linshan asked.

"Abnormal thing? Abnormal..." Wanniang thought for a moment before she said: "If we compare Miss Lingling and Miss Xiaxia, the similarity is that the owner of Fengzhuang has never been to Xiangman Garden in the days before and after the accident. ,and……"

"What do you mean, do you mean that their deaths are related to my master? If that's the case, why did the master send Maple Leaf Villa to investigate?" Luo Yunfei couldn't help standing up when she heard Wanniang's words. .

"Don't worry, girl, Wanniang didn't intend to slander the owner." Wanniang explained eagerly after listening to Luo Yunfei's accusation.

Gu Linshan looked at Luo Yunfei's still anger, and couldn't help but said to her: "Yunfei, don't worry, Wanniang is just telling the situation at that time, and it won't be too late to talk about everything after Wanniang finishes talking. Okay Do you? Come, sit down."

Luo Yunfei just sat down and said: "Okay, you can continue talking, I want to see what's going on."

Gu Linshan then signaled Wanniang to continue the narration, and Wanniang said: "The owner of Fengzhuang is a gentleman, we naturally know it, but there are many doubts about many things, so I will raise them one by one. Everyone in the garden knows, Feng The relationship between the owner and the two girls, Lingling and Xiaxia. The same thing is that the owner of Fengzhuang once praised Lingling's dancing posture as the best in the world, and Xiaxia's piano music is rarely heard in the world. Then, Lingling's legs were cut off, and Miss Xia Xia's hand was also cut off."

Gu Linshan suddenly asked: "So, do you think the owner of Fenglianyefeng is suspected?"

"No, on the contrary, I don't think the owner of the villa is the murderer." Wanniang replied.

"Why?"

"It's rare to find a bosom friend in the mountains and flowing waters. Although the owner of Maple Manor often comes to this fragrant garden, he has never had a relationship with the two girls. He also guarantees that the two of them will only perform performances in this building and not receive guests. The Lord loves the piano and dance of the two of them very much. And this kind of love is completely a spiritual communication, and has nothing to do with desire. Wanniang believes that such a person will never be so cruel."

"These are all your speculations? Then since you believe that my master is not the murderer, why did you say that in the first place?" Luo Yunfei asked suddenly from the side.

Mu Shen shook his fan, looked at Wan Niang, and said with a smile: "Wan Niang wants to say that if I don't kill Bo Le, Bo Le will die because of me, but is this the truth?"

Wan Niang smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's true."

Mu Shen folded his fan and nodded, thinking that he probably had a direction.

Gu Linshan said: "After that, when Miss Yinyin died, what happened?"

Wanniang shook her head and said: "Girl Yinyin's death is said to have been nearly three years since the deaths of Lingling and Xiaxia, but I think there must be a connection, because Yinyin's tongue was completely pulled out, which is very terrifying." .”

Gu Linshan nodded and said: "Well, okay, we understand, you take the money and redeem yourself."

Wanniang looked at Gu Linshan and the others in surprise, then looked at the money on the table, kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Mu Shen took out some silver from his sleeve, distributed it to the other girls, and told them to leave.

Wanniang was at the end again, when she was about to go out, she turned around and looked at them, and said, "My lord, there is actually one more thing that Wanniang didn't explain."

Mu Shen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wanniang said softly: "This matter is related to our mother. I have been very sensitive to fragrance since I was a child. I smelled a strange fragrance at the scene where Miss Lingling died. The smell of blood was so strong that ordinary people couldn't tell. Just call me, it is also difficult to distinguish the scent mixed with blood, but I think this scent is very similar to the scent of my mother."

Manxiang?Several people looked at each other, isn't that woman really simple?

"And..." Wanniang seemed to be hesitating, and said slowly: "Mom seems to be...becoming more...younger..."
