female catcher

Fengyue Building, Condensing Smoke Room.

Ning Yan looked at the person who stayed in her room with a frosty face, who can tell her why a girl can be so thick-skinned?She couldn't beat her, couldn't scold her to leave, and just played with the Yan Ji in her room as if nothing had happened.

"How long will you stay with me?" Ning Yan forced herself to calm down, at least her voice was the same as usual.

Qu Shui didn't even raise his head, he put together his jigsaw puzzle, "It's still early, I'm eating here."

Ning Yan took a deep breath, "Who agreed?"

"Oh, don't be so stingy. Anyway, I've been eating here for the past few days. Quan'er will deliver the food when it's time. Be quiet. Where did Qiuying get the Yanji? hard."

Ning Yan took a breath, and calmed down.She frowned and sat down, stared at Qushui who was playing with the board for a while, and said quietly, "You don't have business to do, so you don't need to keep staring at me."

"Huh?" Qu Shui looked up at Ning Yan, then lowered his head and continued to fiddle with it.

"Hmph, why are you pretending to be stupid. Your lady has already reminded that Xue Ding's identity has yet to be verified, so I won't be so reckless as to rush over and do something to him now." Ning Yan's cold eyes fell on the small game in Qu Shui's hand .

Qu Shui stopped moving, Ning Yan didn't look like she was lying, she still asked: "Really? You really don't want to take revenge in private?"

Ning Yan raised her eyes and glanced at her, and she agreed if she didn't answer.

Qu Shui took a long breath and said with a smile, "It's good that you can understand, it won't waste the beatings I have suffered these days."

After she finished speaking, she continued to lower her head and work on the wooden boards. She felt relieved and her mood improved. She hummed a little song subconsciously while playing.There are no lyrics, and the melody is brisk. I have traveled with Nangong Biluo for so many years, and I don't know when and where I wrote down the tune.

Ning Yan originally wanted to drive Qu Shui out, but the little song in her mouth was very pleasant to hear, so she didn't say anything else, and sat quietly at the table, thinking about her thoughts.

In the house, occasionally the boards in Qusai's hands would collide with each other and make some noises.

Before I knew it, it was already evening.

By the time Ning Yan realized it, she had gotten used to Qu Shui staying in her room for a whole day.Even if there may be two or three sentences in a day, there is nothing wrong with it. How could her room accommodate another person like this.

what does this mean?

Does it mean that she has slowly accepted Qushui, a person outside of Fengyuelou.

Ning Yan watched Qu Shui's profile calmly.Qu Shui has already changed a few gadgets in his hand, such as sandbags, Qiaohuan, and Jiulianhuan, and he enjoys them like a child.This cheeky naughty girl was two extremes with her, and she was a bit noisy, but she could bear it, and she already recognized Qu Shui.

It's just that she didn't expect that a person like her would be willing to accept another person besides Feng Piaoxu.

a friend.

"Ah, these are too simple." Qu Shui put down the clever ring, twisted the back of his neck, moved a bit, and then said to himself: "I don't want to go to Qiuying's place to search to see if there are any new gadgets."

Ning Yan admired Qu Shui's ability to communicate. She squinted her eyes and ignored Qu Shui who was talking to herself. Instead, she got up and sat behind the piano table, concentrating on it. splash.The little tune that Qu Shui hummed in her room today flowed down her nimble fingertips.

Qu Shui said "huh?" pretty, her eyes lit up, and she regained her energy.

She smiled and folded her hands on the table, quietly and obediently listening to Ning Yan's playing.

It was originally an intermittent minor tune, but through Hua Kui's hand, it became a melodious piano sound, coherent and comfortable, Qu Shui couldn't help shaking his head slightly following the sound of the piano.

At the door, Feng Piaoxu, who wanted to knock on the door, also withdrew his hand.

Listening to the sound of the piano coming from the smoke-condensing room, it was the first time she heard the lightness of the music from under the strings of the smoke-condensing piano. After thinking about it, she came quietly and left quietly.

never mind.Like them, there is too little time to be yourself, let's indulge and leave something worth remembering.

Feng Piaoxu left, but Lin Lang knocked on the door of Ningyan's room after a while.

"Hey, we've been working so hard for you, you're so heartless you're here to enjoy the music of the oiran piano." As soon as Lin Lang entered the room, she began to criticize Qu Shui.

"No way~ Linlang, sit down quickly." Qu Shui smiled ingratiatingly, and hurried to pull Linlang who was at the door into the room.

Ning Yan frowned at this and didn't say much. She put her hands in front of her body and sat behind the piano case, listening to Lin Lang and Qu Shui talking, not intending to participate.

Lin Lang also glanced at the owner of the room, Ningyan, and seeing that she was not angry, she relaxed in surprise, and nodded Qushui's forehead reproachfully.Qu Shui rubbed the poked place, curled his lips and said: "Miss likes to knock, you keep poking, my head is not a watermelon."

"Hehe." Lin Lang was amused by Qu Shui's appearance.

Qu Shui also smiled, and said seriously, "Lin Lang, have you made a new discovery?"

"Hmm~" Lin Lang poured himself a glass of water first, "That's right."

"What do you mean, right? Is there any movement in Liu Yizhi's place?"

"Sigh~ what are you in a hurry for? The Shuntian government office has withdrawn the patrols. Recently, Mingyufang has become noisy again, and the homestay business continues. It stands to reason that Liu Yizhi, who has done the most in this regard, should take action, but she closed the door instead. Come and close the door but can't leave, Lu Sanniang took the opportunity to welcome the guests over, and the limelight was in full swing."

"Who cares about their business? Lu Sanniang and Liu Yizhi are cooperating openly and fighting secretly, and they don't bother to watch. I want to know what Liu Yizhi is doing behind closed doors?"

Lin Lang shook her head, "Liu Yizhi is very cautious, and has strengthened the guards. There are people behind the Mingyufang brothel, and people from all sides are watching at any time. It is not easy for our people to sneak in."

"Then—where's the doctor from last time?"

"That doctor often goes in and out of Piaoxiang Pavilion, but after checking the background, it is Dr. Liu from Tongjitang in the city. He often visits various brothels in Mingyufang. There is nothing suspicious. Oh, yes, there is still something suspicious. He didn't bring a medicine box every time he went in and out, and it took him a long time to go in, it didn't look like a doctor's visit, but rather a tryst with Liu Yizhi." Lin Lang guessed.

Qu Shui rolled his eyes, "Be serious."

"Why am I not serious? Then Dr. Liu and Liu Yizhi are about the same age, and they are also acquaintances by their demeanor. It is normal to guess that they have an affair. Don't forget where this is, you still don't believe my eyesight."

Qu Shui was noncommittal, and asked again: "Then where else has he been to besides Piaoxiang Pavilion and Tongji Hall?"

"That's too much. In the past few days, not counting Piaoxiang Pavilion, he has had twelve consultations, each time in a different place, and the people he sees vary, rich and poor. As a doctor, his His reputation is not bad. He was even invited to Prince Yu’s mansion, and he went there again today.”

"Prince?" Qu Shui wondered that Prince Yu had something wrong and didn't go to Xinglin Hall to find Liushang?But she put this aside first, "Think about it again, is there anyone who looks suspicious among the people he contacts?"

"Well—I haven't found out yet. This doctor's work and rest are quite normal. Except for going out to the emergency room at night, he stays at home the rest of the time. He also spent money to build a charity hall to take in those homeless wounded, patients, and people. The product is quite good. I think that instead of staring at him, I think it’s better to find out what Liu Yizhi is doing sneakily in Piaoxiang Pavilion.”

Qu Shui was lost in thought.

Suddenly remembering what Nangong Biluo asked someone to tell her yesterday and gave her something back, she immediately said: "I don't think it's that simple. Linlang, wait a minute, I'll go get something, and I'll be back soon."

After speaking, he mentioned Qinggong and left the room, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Linlang and Ningyan were left in the room. Linlang looked at Ningyan sitting there like an iceberg, and began to feel uncomfortable.

"This girl, why are you so irritable?" Lin Lang muttered softly, not making eye contact with Ning Yan.Although they are in the same place and have worked together for many years, Lin Lang is unwilling to be alone with her because of her withdrawn personality and special status.

Ning Yan naturally saw Lin Lang's thoughts, but she didn't care.In her eyes, Fengyuelou is not the same as Feng Piaoxu, and she has no feelings for people like Yaohong and Linlang, just a working relationship, just like she can indifferently watch Qingyan, who is pregnant, commit suicide.

Anyone who threatens Feng Piaoxu's safety, even Fengyue Tower, can be destroyed.

Lin Lang shuddered inexplicably, looked left and right, and secretly complained that Ningyan's room was as deserted as hers.Fortunately, Qu Shui came back quickly, still holding a painting scroll in his hand.

"What is this?" Lin Lang asked hastily.

Qu Shui picked up her water glass and drank it clean, then unfolded the scroll and said, "Lin Lang, keep watching the doctor, if you see the person in the painting, come and tell me."

"Who is the person in this painting?" Seeing that the person in the painting was as thin as a stick, but with sharp eyes like a falcon, she was no stranger to such eyes, bloodthirsty and cruel, so she asked.

"This is the assassin who went to the Liu Mansion to assassinate Liu Futong and was killed. He is the one with the NO.16 sign on the first floor of Tianzi."

"Long Ji!" Lin Lang was startled, even Ning Yan got up from behind the piano table and came to the table to observe the person in the painting.

"No, no, didn't Long Ji reappear on the day of Liu Futong's birthday party? He didn't die at all, and killers like Long Ji have more secretive looks than their names, so it's impossible for people to draw them. You The portrait of a dead person is to ask us to find Long Ji according to him, how can we find it?" Lin Lang was suspicious again.

Qu Shui said patiently: "Don't worry about these things, just let your people pay attention to whether there are people similar to the one in the painting."

Linlang glanced at Ningyan, and Ningyan nodded to her in secret. Linlang then put away the painting, got up and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to copy a few more, and let them all pay attention to it."

"Thank you, Lin Lang."

"That's all, who told you to please me." Lin Lang squeezed Qu Shui's face as if venting her anger, and left with the portrait.

Qu Shui rubbed her face and closed the door, turned around and saw Ning Yan staring at her with cold eyes without blinking, a chill came up from her back, she said helplessly, "Qin Yanran, you The facial expressions and facial expressions can be a little more scary."

Ning Yan didn't hold back at all, and asked with narrowed eyes: "How do you know Long Ji's appearance, or what did you find out about the Walking Corpse Building?"

"What did you say?" Qu Shui trembled all over, sat down and picked up the water.

But Ning Yan pressed her wrist, and said coldly: "Don't fight with me, I don't know how much your lady told you about the Walking Corpse Building, but I definitely know more about the Walking Corpse Building than you, and I know Long Ji now Messed with Xuan Gang. How terrible Xuan Gang is, your lady must have never told you!"

Xuan Gang wants to eradicate Long Ji, Ning Yan is worried that Fengyuelou will be affected, and now Fengyuelou is safe.

Qu Shui raised her wrist a few times, but failed to break Ning Yan away, she said discouragedly: "I don't know what is mysterious and not. Miss just asked me to pay attention to people who looked like the portrait, she said This person is likely to appear around Liu Yizhi."

"Liu Yizhi?"

"En. Qin Yanran, raise your hand first!" Qu Shui frowned, and Ning Yan let her go, allowing her to drink water.

"Why does your lady think so?"

"My lady handles cases in a very secretive way, and I don't know everything about it." Qu Shui pouted.

"Tsk!" Ning Yan's eyes turned cold again.

Seeing that she looked serious, Qu Shui thought for a while, and waved to Ningyan, beckoning her to come closer.Seeing her like that, Ning Yan thought for a while and followed her, sitting next to her and getting closer.Only then did Qu Shui whisper: "I shouldn't have revealed the case to you, but you have already said so. The Walking Corpse Building is so huge and secretive, and I am also worried about Miss, so I will tell you. Don't tell anyone else. "

"Stop talking nonsense, speak quickly!"

Qu Shui curled his lips aggrievedly, "Ah~ It wasn't Sister Shang's autopsy. Half of the tattoo was found on the assassin Liu Futong killed, but the other half was not tattooed. In addition, there was also a Long Ji who appeared that night, desperate to die. She wanted to kill Liu Futong too, so Miss boldly guessed whether Kuai Jianlong Ji would always be two people, or twins."

"Twins?" Ning Yan was slightly surprised, then sighed: "Your lady really dares to think about it."

"So, this is just speculation. Don't be too sensitive."

"No, the conjecture may come true. It depends on whether Lin Lang and the others can wait for the person in the painting to confirm your lady's conjecture." Ning Yan frowned and thought about it, and then asked: "Leave this aside for now, what about Long Ji and Liu Yizhi? what is the relationship?"

"Then I don't know, Miss didn't say anything." Qu Shui shrugged, got up and opened the door, "I'm already hungry, I'll ask Quan'er to bring the food over, Qin Yanran, let's eat together."

Ning Yan ignored her, and Qu Shui didn't need her to answer, she went to find Quan'er as soon as she finished speaking, leaving Ning Yan sitting alone in the room.

Ning Yan looked at the empty door, and after a while, she whispered softly: "Nangong Biluo."

She clenched her fists tightly, then loosened them weakly.

"Ah~"

The moon and stars are rare, on the street.

When everyone is supposed to go home and enjoy sitting and chatting with their families at the same table, the Yamen police are still running around, just like the peddlers on the street begging for life, they are still outside.

"Captain Nangong, is the thatched hut we found on the river bank in the outskirts the place where the murderer lived?" Chen Hu has been following Nangong Biluo these days.

These days they still gained something. They found a dilapidated thatched house behind a random grave in the suburbs. It was empty and there were traces of people living there. There were several wooden barrels filled with blood and many sealed jars inside. , opened is a pungent stench.One was poured out, and it contained disgusting rotten flesh, which was confirmed to be human flesh by the foreman.

"Aren't we confirming now?"

"But wandering around in the street like this, I can't find the owner of the thatched house at all." The little catcher Zhang Yang complained.

"I know you are impatient, and I am also impatient, but the more anxious you are, the more calm you are. Let me ask you, what information can we look up for that thatched house?"

"Murderer." Fan Er, another small police officer, opened his mouth and said.

Chen Hu rolled his eyes at him, "Nonsense. It's a wooden barrel of blood and a jar of carrion."

"That's right, apart from these two, there are no extra clues." Zhang Yang continued.

"But judging from the capacity of the blood bucket, it is only the blood volume of two people at most, which means that besides the murderer there, there is still a stronghold, and the wooden barrel and jar are also the information left by him?" Nangong Biluo said in the guidance them.

"By the way, the wooden barrel is still very new. Although the style is ordinary, the handle has a special mark. No wonder Nangong Butou has always taken us to the grocery store and wood walk these days." Fan Er patted his forehead.

Nangong Biluo smiled at them, and continued to walk forward, but when she turned around, the smile gradually disappeared and turned solemn.If the murderer is not caught, those undead will not be at peace, and she will not be at peace all day long.

"Nangong catches the head and stays behind~"

When Nangong Biluo was worried about the case with the human skin, a strange voice called out to her again, and the housekeeper of Liu's house stopped her.

"Captain Nangong, my master is here to invite you~"

Nangong Biluo clenched her saber tightly, with a frosty expression on her face, but she had no choice but to send away three small policemen, and followed the housekeeper of Liu Futong to Liu Futong's residence.
