The Queen's Secret

"Yes... it's me."

The guard felt that his confidence had been blown, which was simply too hurtful...

"Why do you still follow me?"

Qi Yu felt strange, she remembered that she had no conflict with Zhao Muyan anymore...

"That...the empress is worried about your safety...let me protect you."

Ever since offending Tang Zongyan, Qi Yu knew that she would be in danger, and Zhao Muyan didn't know...

Qi Yu felt a little distressed in her heart... That woman doesn't say many things, but she is silently doing things for herself...

"...Then, it's up to you!"

In the past, she would definitely refuse, but this is Zhao Muyan's wish, she doesn't want to refuse...

Qi Yu turned her head and left, and continued to walk towards the Yellow Crane Tower, but she didn't go to the kitchen to ask for someone immediately, but found a seat and sat down, and called the guard over.

"Dare to ask my sister's name?"

Qi Yu asked the guard to sit down together, but the guard hesitated for a while before sitting down.

"Tie Yunshuang."

The personal guard sat with his back straight, and Qi Yu seemed to see himself in front of Zhao Muyan in the past, so reserved.

The corner of the mouth inadvertently evoked a smile...

Seeing Qi Yuxin's smile, Tie Yunshuang suddenly froze, and said, "Chief Qi Yu's smile is so pretty."

When Qi Yu heard this, her face blushed, she said nothing, and turned around to call Xiaoer over.

"Xiaoer, what is the dish that needs the most delicate knife skills here?"

Qi Yu asked heartily, and the little girl introduced it immediately with a smile: "Of course it is the most famous Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea in Yellow Crane Tower, guest officer, do you want to try it?"

"it is good."

Qi Yu agreed, Tie Yunshuang immediately broke out in a cold sweat for Qi Yu.

"Catch the director together, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea is very expensive..."

Tie Yunshuang was lucky enough to eat it once, but fortunately he didn't pay for it himself, otherwise he might not have enough food and silver for a month.

"It's alright..."

Qi Yuxin took out the money bag that Huang Yu gave just now. The money bag was heavy. It seemed that there was a lot of money in it, so Tie Yunshuang felt relieved. It seemed that Qi Yuxin was really rich...but he thought it was, and it was a reward from the emperor. After getting the money from the old case room, Qi Yu must have shared a lot of it!

"Have you ever eaten Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea?"

Qi Yu heard Tie Yunshuang say that the Eight Immortals crossing the sea is very expensive, so she asked curiously.

"Well, I was lucky enough to eat it once."

After hearing this, Qi Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's so special about this dish?"

"This one is really special. The main dishes are pork and chicken, each with four flavors, sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, and the chef even carved the human figures of the Eight Immortals out of tofu, which is really amazing."

Till now, Tie Yunshuang is still thinking about how to carve such a realistic and delicate Eight Immortals out of tofu...

Qi Yu raised her eyebrows heartily, she was not interested in the taste of this dish, but the Eight Immortals carved out of tofu...

This dish took a long time to prepare, and after waiting for two minutes, it was finally brought to the table.

Qi Yu looked at the Eight Immortals carved out of tofu. They were so lifelike that they did not miss such small details as noses and eyes.

"Eat, you're welcome."

Seeing that Tie Yunshuang didn't move her chopsticks, Qi Yuxin knew that she was reserved, so Qi Yuxin asked her to move her chopsticks, and Tie Yunshuang ate it unceremoniously. She had eaten this dish before, and she really couldn't forget the taste .

Qi Yu took a bite too, the meat melted in the mouth and tasted very good, it was indeed a delicacy, but then she poked He Xiangu lightly with the chopsticks, and saw that the tofu bounced, very bouncy.

"Little two."

Seeing Qi Yuxin calling Xiao Er, Tie Yunshuang immediately stopped talking, and raised her eyes to see what Qi Yuxin was going to do.

"Guest officer, what are your orders?"

The little boy bent down and asked, seeing that the man was wearing a dark purple flying fish robe, he didn't dare to neglect him at all.

"I'm going to visit the kitchen. I wonder if it's okay?"

The waiter said that he could not make a decision. After all, the kitchen is an important place, so how could he let guests in and out casually. The waiter went to ask the shopkeeper for instructions. The shopkeeper saw that the person was Qi Yuxin, so he agreed immediately, and even took Qi Yuxin with him. The kitchen, but Tie Yunshuang had no choice but to let the Eight Immortals cross the sea and follow.

There are only two chefs in the Yellow Crane Tower who can cook this dish, and there are also two apprentices to help.

The two cooks were about the same size, quite burly, their hands were full of calluses, they looked like rough men, but they didn't expect the knife skills to be so meticulous.

The two apprentices were much more handsome and thinner, but their faces were a bit dirty, and it was really difficult to work in the kitchen.

"I don't know what the director of Qi arrest wants to see?"

The shopkeeper called people out, but Qi Yuxin didn't say a word except to look at them. The shopkeeper couldn't figure out what Qi Yuxin was going to do for a while, and Tie Yunshuang beside him didn't know what Qi Yuxin wanted to do. What.

"I'm really sorry for delaying everyone's time. I don't know how many scissors there are in the kitchen. Can you take them out and let me have a look?"

The two cooks and the apprentices looked at each other, and finally one of the apprentices took out all three scissors from the kitchen and handed them to Qi Yuxin.

Qi Yuxin picked it up and looked at it. It was indeed very sharp, but... there were oil stains on it... But she remembered that there was no oil stain on the wound on Shen Linger's chest. If she pierced it with kitchen scissors, there should be oil stains. …

"My lord...this...?"

The shopkeeper was a little anxious, and Qi Yu was absorbed in thinking about it, but the work in the kitchen had already been delayed a lot, and if the delay continued, the guests in the front hall might complain.

Qi Yu regained her composure and continued to look at the hands of the cook and the apprentice. The cook's hands were very big, which did not match the bruises on Shen Linger's face.

Instead, it was the apprentice's...

After returning the scissors heartily, Qi Yu asked, "Are the knives including the scissors cleaned every day?"

It was a cook who spoke at this time, and he said: "It must be cleaned. This is the rule set by the kitchen. It must be washed until there is no trace of oil. This is the principle of hygiene."

The cook spoke seriously, presumably he obeyed the rules of the kitchen very much, and maybe he was the one who set the rules.

"So, I understand, you go back to work! It's too much trouble."

Qi Yu turned her head to look at the shopkeeper, said thank you and sorry, and then returned to the front hall to continue eating their Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.

"Director Qi Arrest, although I know I shouldn't ask, but what did you do just now?"

Tie Yunshuang knew that Qi Yu's heart must be to investigate the case, and Tie Yunshuang also knew that she shouldn't ask about this, but she was just curious.

Qi Yuxin naturally wouldn't say anything about the case, she just asked: "Miss Yunshuang, what do you think of those four people just now?"

After hearing this, Tie Yunshuang immediately said: "That cook is not very good, but one of the apprentices is so handsome!"

Qi Yu listened intently, and frowned... He was so beautiful, he seldom used beautiful to describe men, and the faces of the two apprentices just now were both dirty, how could Tie Yunshuang tell the beauty and ugliness of their appearance?

"How did you meet?"

Qi Yu was also curious about how Tie Yunshuang saw it.

"Chief Qi is not aware of this. Because our personal guards have to perform many different tasks, we need to be very good at recognizing faces. Therefore, we can spot people who are disguised at a glance."

Tie Yunshuang said, feeling a little proud in his heart, although the training process was indeed very difficult, but now this skill makes them almost have a photographic memory of people's appearance.

"so smart…"

"It's just a skill. If you don't talk about it, that apprentice is so beautiful. At a glance, I thought he was disguised as a man, but he has an Adam's apple."

Tie Yunshuang pointed to her own throat, Qi Yuxin nodded after listening, smiled, and said nothing more.

"That's not right, chief of arrests, you didn't answer my question..."

"The Buddha said it cannot be said."

After Qi Yuxin finished speaking, Tie Yunshuang immediately stopped talking, um...Didn't Miss Li'er say that Qi Yuxin was a piece of wood?Now it seems... it's really cunning...

After Qi Yuxin and Tie Yunshuang finished eating, they immediately went to the Guanxing Building. There was only one cook in the Guanxing Building with such fine knife skills, and there was no apprentice. Looking around, this cook was also burly and his palm was very Big, it doesn't match the fingerprints on Shen Linger's face.

After Qi Yuxin finished her investigation, she came to the front hall of the Star Observation Building, ordered tea and a snack, and waited for Lin Qingxuan to arrive.

After two moments, Lin Qingxuan finally came, but it was strange that there was an extra person beside Qi Yuxin...

She hadn't seen that person before, but to be able to sit at the same table with Qi Yuxin, she must be friends!

"Qingxuan is here?"

"Well, who is this?"

Lin Qingxuan looked at Tie Yunshuang, Qi Yu's heart froze, and he said with a smile: "This is my friend, Miss Yunshuang."

"Happy to meet."

Tie Yunshuang knew the reason why Qi Yuxin didn't reveal her real identity. Her identity was indeed a little sensitive and needed to be kept secret.

"What are the results of the investigation?"

Qi Yuxin immediately asked, Lin Qingxuan saw that Qi Yuxin could ask questions about the case in front of Tie Yunshuang, and Tie Yunshuang was also a trustworthy person, so Lin Qingxuan spoke about the investigation results.

"There are three tailors near the crime scene, and two ready-made garments. There is nothing suspicious about the ready-made garments, but the tailors. Two of them are well-known in the capital for their workmanship. I have seen their finished products. It is indeed...cough cough , I want to buy a piece or two.”

Lin Qingxuan blushed. After all, everyone has a love for beauty. Although Lin Qingxuan was a little straightforward on weekdays, she still liked beautiful clothes.

"Well... I also have two suspects here. It's getting late today, so let's ask them back for questioning tomorrow!"

"it is good."

After listening to Tie Yunshuang, she didn't know which two people Qi Yu was suspicious of. She scratched her head, and it turned out that mental work was not suitable for her.

"Thank you Miss Yunshuang today, Qingxuan and I will go back to the old case room."

"Okay, goodbye."

Seeing Qi Yuxin and Lin Qingxuan both leave, Tie Yunshuang thought about it, and packed some delicious food for Li'er in Guanxinglou, thinking she would be very happy when she saw it.

After Lin Qingxuan left the Observation Tower, he looked at the entrance of the Observation Tower and found that Tie Yunshuang hadn't followed, so he said, "Yu Xin, I haven't heard you mention this friend before?"

"I haven't seen her for a long time, and I happened to meet today and we went together. She also helped me a little."

Lin Qingxuan frowned, she knew that Qi Yuxin was lying, because Qi Yuxin would definitely not deal with private matters when handling the case, how could he let an irrelevant friend go with him...

This Tie Yunshuang is definitely not easy...

Speaking of which, is this the first time Qi Yuxin has lied to herself?
