This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

Ying Wangdong doesn't know the difference between east, west, north and south, and he always has the attitude of going wherever he goes, but since he opened a flower shop, he is serious about selling flowers.

As the next manager of Kunlun Garden, he must be proficient in flowers and trees.Even if you can't grow ordinary flowers with monster power in the world, but the skills of growing flowers are the same, how can the flowers you sell fade faster than other shops.

There are two main uses of flowers: flower arrangement bonsai and flower head decorations.

In the past [-] days, the sales volume of Bumilu Flower Shop has been booming, and the reputation has always been very good. This is the first time I heard someone say that the flowers bought from here wither quickly.

Ying Wangdong took this casual remark to heart, his professional skills were actually questioned, and he deliberately asked which customer was dissatisfied, and decided to come to the door tomorrow to find out.

Kaifeng mansion, morgue.

Yan Buzhou inspected the corpses of the three deceased, no matter whether it was the skull parts where the sharp weapon was peeled off directly, or the victim's body, clothing, etc., he did not see any strange aura of ghosts and ghosts.

"No, there was no abnormal aura left at all. Is there a murder weapon at the scene? This kind of trace doesn't look like a cloth strip. If it's a rope and it's indescribably awkward, I can't say what it looks like."

"It's the hair. All three of them were strangled to death by their hair. If you look carefully, the thickness of the three strangle marks are slightly different." Gongsun Ce ruled out many murder weapons one by one. In a flash of inspiration, he guessed that the murder weapon was Ning The hair that has become a rope, quickly made a simulation comparison.

"The murderer didn't leave a murder weapon behind. These are three strands of hair I made myself just now, using silk threads from a wig. Judging from the way the murderer peeled and removed the hair, eight out of ten of the murder weapons he used were real hair."

Determining that the murder weapon is hair is a step closer to clarifying the motive of the murderer.This person must have an attachment to hair. He may be engaged in work related to hair, or he may be stimulated by some kind of hair.

Following this conjecture, Bao Zheng pointed out a stack of old files of the case.After he took over as governor of Kaifeng, he would look at the past files whenever he had free time, so as to better understand what happened in Bianjing.

However, so far, I have only read the dossiers of the past seven years, and I haven't had time to sort out the past.The pile he made was related to hair accessories, clothing, hair, cleansing, etc., and some disputes occurred.

You might as well look for clues in it, although according to Bao Zheng's memory, when he read these files, he didn't have a single case that made him feel that something was wrong.

Perhaps the stimulus to the assailant never erupted, perhaps he was recently exposed to it, or it was also possible that the source of the stimulus occurred very early.

'You can ask Master Xing, I have also asked him for advice before.He has stayed in Bianjing for ten years, or knows more strange cases. '

The Master Xing that Bao Zheng mentioned was Xing Gao, the master of Wenqian, the previous governor.

After Wen Qian resigned, he returned to his hometown, Chengdu. The Wen family was not considered a prominent family in Sichuan, but it was also a well-known scholarly family. He planned to return to his hometown to teach in the academy.

Xing Gao has been Wen Qian's master since he became an official, unlike Wen Qian, his family members are simply a wife and a pair of children who have just married.Since Xing Gao became a teacher in Kaifeng ten years ago, his sons and daughters have followed him to Bianjing, and now they have taken root in Bianjing.

Although Xing Gao was very reluctant to part with Wen Qian, he really had no choice but to follow him into Shu without hesitation.So he stayed in Bianjing, but declined Bao Zheng's invitation to keep him in his post.He is almost fifty years old, and he has already tasted the warmth and coldness of the officialdom, and now he is teaching children in a private school.

In this way, the troops are divided into several groups. Gongsun Ce searched the pile of hair-related files in the Kaifeng mansion, while Ma Han and others went to continue to trace the source of the flowers in the beautiful flower shop.Those corolla flowers are not picked near Zhongmu County, but are uniformly deployed by the Bianjing head office.

Plus, there's another clue that must be investigated.The only day when Yang Ci, Gu Xia, and Sun Ping may have met face to face in the near future was the Lantern Festival half a month ago.

Like most people on Gyeonggi Road entering Beijing from the surrounding counties and villages, the three victims all came to Bianjing to watch the Shangyuan Lantern Festival that day, and they rushed to Beijing as early as lunch.

According to Li Quan, he walked with Yang Ci almost all the time that day, but one hour before dinner in the afternoon, the two went shopping separately. Li Quan was not interested in women's jewelry and other things, so he went alone to find out if there was any new wine in Bianjing.The same situation happened to Gu Xia and Sun Ping, they also went to the jewelry store alone.

"The three of Li Quan couldn't tell which stores his wife had been to, let alone the many temporary vendors on the Lantern Festival."

Zhan Zhao didn't know if he should feel lucky, but at least the three of them still knew which area of ​​Bianjing his wife was shopping in. "This is not good news. The three of them went to the Daxiangguo Temple Market. It is the busiest shopping place in Bianjing. There are many temporary jewelry stalls on the day of the Lantern Festival. Among them, those who sell flower headdresses are better than those who sell gold and silver. More jewelry."

There is nothing wrong with this, how can I find fault with it.

Husbands don't like to go shopping with their wives. When the three elements of men, women, and shopping are put together, this is basically the stereotype.

Besides, the three of Yang Ci's family wanted to buy, buy, and buy. Instead of choosing gold, silver and jewelry with a slightly higher price, flower headdresses were more in line with their spending power.

Yan Buzhou felt that these were in line with the living conditions of ordinary couples. The three couples had no children, so they didn't have to worry about who would take care of the children when they came out to spend the Lantern Festival.

Everything is so normal, until they encounter a serial killer who is not normal.

Zhan Zhao must check all the jewelry shops in the Daxiangguo Temple Bazaar, hoping to find one or two clues that lead the three victims together. "I have to say that the possibility of finding relevant clues is no different from a blind cat encountering a dead mouse."

"Brother Zhan, it's not good for you to say that. It's clear that you have a pair of beautiful eyes looking forward to shine, how can you belittle yourself as blind."

Yan Buzhou was not joking, but he remembered the hairpin meeting that Lu Peilan mentioned, and one of the daily meeting points was in the business district of Daxiangguo Temple.

"There is a Nonghua Teahouse on the east side of Daxiangguo Temple. The female boss there is one of the organizers of the Hairpin Fair. The three of Yang Ci like flower decorations, and they may have been to the Hairpin Fair. Why don't you go to the Nonghua Teahouse first and ask about the Lantern Festival Is there a meeting today?"

Seeing that Zhan Zhao didn't know much about the Hairpin Association, Yan Buzhou recounted Lu Peilan's explanation.

This organization is very loose, and you can join if you like wearing flowers on your head.If there is a rally on the day of the Lantern Festival, the three of Yang Ci passing by may not be allowed to go in and have a look.

Zhan Zhao had heard of self-organized associations in Bianjing or other big cities earlier, but he hadn't really noticed the associations organized by women for the beauty of their hairstyles.This made him connect with a possibility. Gongsun Ce mentioned that when the three of Yang Ci were skinned, the murderer's knife was very professional. If someone who has studied hairstyles all the year round must also know various hairstyles, then could the murderer come from the Hairpin Society? ?

The members of the Hairpin Association are basically women, but so far there is no evidence to prove whether the perpetrators were men or women.

If it is a man, it is more likely to be an acquaintance.Because no matter how harmless the man's appearance is, the three of Yang Ci should be somewhat vigilant, and the possibility of easily following each other away in the afternoon market without being noticed by others is very low.

From the point of view of negligence, if the murderer is a woman, it is easier to get close to the three of them.But it can be so nimble that no one has the opportunity to resist. The conditions of the three crime scenes show that the perpetrator's strength is by no means small.

In the process of strangling a person to death, it is often seen that the victim struggled violently, and because of the struggle and resistance, the victim had resistive scars on the head, face, and limbs.However, Yang Ci, Gu Xia, and Sun Ping did not find any resistance injuries, and they all died very simply.

Imagine a soft and harmless-looking woman pulling out a long rope of tightly braided hair.

Without giving the victim a chance to breathe, he suddenly wrapped the hair rope tightly around the victim's neck from behind, twisted it hard, and broke the neck bone with a click.This kind of strength is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Thinking about it, Zhan Zhao involuntarily glanced at Yan Buzhou. When it comes to his infinite strength, this man is beyond his appearance.

"Zhanmao, what kind of eyes do you have!" Yan Buzhou caught Zhan Zhao's peeking, or it should be said that he was not afraid of being found out with his eyes. "Don't think that if I praise your good-looking eyes, you can be unscrupulous."

Zhan Zhao showed a slight smile, "I'm just sighing, Ah Yan has paid attention to the hairpin meeting by doing what he does and loves what he does, and he is very dedicated."

Ordinary men don't care about these things, they don't know Li Quan's married couples, and they don't know his wife's hair accessories preference.

"Really? Do you need me to thank you for your compliment?" Yan Buzhou didn't believe Zhan Zhao's earnest words at all, whoever believed it was stupid, she was not the year and a half in her arms.

Nian Fei was in a bright mood after being praised by Bao Zheng for her good looks, as if she had been affirmed by the top leader of her new family, and she no longer felt depressed for more than half a month because of being put as a dove by her master.This meeting is already enjoying the scenery of Bianjing with great interest, and doesn't care what the two people around them are talking about.

From Kaifeng Mansion to Daxiangguo Temple, you need to pass through the imperial street from the west side of the imperial city to the east side. The area in front of Xuande Gate is very lively.Even if it's not before lunch or after dinner, the scents of various food shops still waft out like money, and people passing by while strolling and eating snacks from time to time.

"Take care of your dog, it's about to drool."

Yan Buzhou holding Nian Fei is purely to save Zhan Zhao's face, thinking that Yumao is wearing an official uniform and holding a hairy dumpling, such an image will lose the majesty of Kaifeng Mansion.

Before Bao Zheng suggested customizing a dog leash, although a rope may not be able to hold the Nian beast, but he really needs to take the time to arrange this matter as soon as possible.

Zhan Zhao didn't dare to delay and warn Nian Fei in time, lest he would not be happy on Monday, so he would give him the hairball.Although there is nothing embarrassing about letting him hold Nian Fei, but if it can be avoided, there will be new gossip tomorrow-the shocking little fat dog who is holding on to the imperial cat.

"Is Yueban greedy for snacks? This will make my mouth water. It is because I foresee that I will have poor adaptation and poor appetite when I change places in the future. If this is the case, I will arrange a light meal when the time comes, so I can't see meat and greasy food."

Nian Fei stretched out her paw subconsciously when she heard this, only to realize that it didn't drool at all.

What is wrong with it?Isn't it just following the cub's instinct to be hungry easily, wanting to eat the delicious food in Huahua World, why do two people get angry at it when they fight each other.

No one comforted Nian Fei, and when it tried hard to restrain its temptation for food, the two came to the Nonghua Teahouse.

The female boss, surnamed Hua, is in her 30s and has a good style.

"You two want to know about the situation on the day of the Lantern Festival? That day, according to the usual gathering practice of the Hairpin Association, the teahouse does not accept male guests. As for the three you mentioned, I have no special impression. All the people who came here were beauties and random flowers. Gradually becoming charming eyes, I was so lost that I lost my way."

This is really nice to say.

Yan Buzhou secretly pinched Nian Fei's stomach, signaling him to get up and smell it soon, and it wasn't for walking the dog with him all the way out.

Although it is difficult for some strong monsters, thirteen days have passed since the Lantern Festival, and it will be a year to gossip about whether Yang Ci and the other three have been here, but a dead horse is a living horse doctor, and he will always check the strong.

Hua Niangzi watched a fur ball jumping down from Yan Bu Zhou's embrace, it started to walk around the store, and laughed out loud, "My lords, this ball is the new detection dog of Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Boss Hua, please tell me about the content of the party on the Lantern Festival." Zhan Zhao changed the subject without a smile on his face, "If it's convenient, provide us with a list of attendees."

"There is a sign-in list, but not all the people who come here have signed in. Every time there are new faces joining, they are friends of friends and so on. There are also some passers-by who came in after shopping and became interested. I also It’s not good to force them to leave their names.”

Hua Niangzi didn't laugh anymore Nian Fei's figure didn't look like a scout dog at all, she took out a roster, most of the people who would leave their names on it had the idea of ​​frequent attendance. "Parties in teahouses generally have a clear theme. Sometimes they talk about how to weave flower crowns, and sometimes they talk about how to prolong the flowering period of flower decorations. On the fifteenth day, they talked about how to make better use of wigs."

"Do you sell wigs these days?" "Do many people use wigs?"

Both Yan Buzhou and Zhan Zhao were taken aback, and asked in unison, neither of them had any experience with this area.

Yan Buzhou has been on the road without stopping, and has no time to change back into women's clothing and visit various jewelry shops.As for Zhan Zhao's rich experience in Jianghu, it doesn't involve the specific process of women's dressing.

Hua Niangzi laughed again when she saw this, and she popularized it for the two of them a little bit, "Don't you two think that those beautiful buns are all combed with real hair? Even if the hair is well taken care of, it is not enough to satisfy all the complicated hair. Styling. Wigs have existed since ancient times, let’s not talk about it, let’s just say that Tang loves to put his hair up high, and it is common for a person to use part of the wig in his bun.”

Wigs were originally made from someone else's real hair.In the past, the parents who said that the body, hair and skin are the best, did not dare to damage the beginning of filial piety, but it is also common for poor people to cut their hair and sell it in order to survive.

The price of wigs made of real hair is high, so naturally they are not popular.The popular wig in the Song Dynasty is not made of real hair, but a kind of black silk thread.

"You look at these are all fake buns. Don't underestimate a simple fake bun. If you want to use it well to make it look like real ones, you have to pay attention to how to comb your hair and where to put the fake bun.

Moreover, everyone's hair quality is different, some are shiny and some are dry, so it is necessary to choose a wig that is similar to the hair color.On the day of the Lantern Festival, we discussed the knowledge here, and many masters who are good at this kind of knowledge did not hesitate to share it. "

Yan Buzhou picked up a wig, the material of this material is more convincing than the wig rope made by Gongsun Ce.Sure enough, no one should underestimate the wisdom of anyone.Let's talk about the appearance of a fake hair bun, whether it is possible to speculate on the motive of the assailant for skinning.

"Boss Hua, have you met anyone who looks down on using silk thread to make wigs, but pays attention to the need to use real hair to make wigs?"

Hua Niangzi shook her head thinking about it. Although she provided a venue for the meeting, she didn't pay much attention to the topic of wigs because she didn't like wearing a heavy headgear.

"It's hard to talk about it. I didn't listen carefully and didn't pay attention to it. However, there was no dispute at the party. Even if someone had a preference for Zhenfa, she probably didn't express her opinion forcefully. I will give you a picture For the list, ask some of the keynote speakers at the party that day, they may know more."

On this side, Hua Niangzi is writing the list, while Zhan Zhao has checked the entire registration list.Although the names of Yang Ci and Gu Xia could not be seen, they found Sun Ping's signature on the roster, and there was a note on the back that they were from Fengqiu County.If it is verified that the name is not the same, then this is the murdered Sun Ping.

From this point of view, it is very likely that the three victims visited the teahouse on the Lantern Festival. In other words, the murderer was also very likely to be at the gathering that day.

Nian Fei turned around and didn't smell the scent left by the three victims, but she smelled a faint smell at the side of a seat that she couldn't be sure of, which came from the ghost it lost.

"Wow?" Nian Fei was still hesitating, and suddenly turned her head to look outside the store, and then rushed out with a whoosh, shouting loudly. "Wow woof—"

"Quick, that beast has appeared. 』

No one can understand this sentence without translation.Yan Buzhou and Zhan Zhao chased after him without even thinking about it. The little fat demon is usually unreliable, but he would never roar for no reason.

The two of them didn't chase for a few steps before they saw Nian Fei standing in the middle of the road angrily and helplessly.Nian Fei looked around blankly, but couldn't catch Sui's breath again.

Nian Fei had mentioned before why she would follow him. Even though Nian Beast is more sensitive to the smell of Chong than to all other foods, it is rare for a ghost to be hidden in a human body without revealing any evil spirit.

It is said that villains are causing trouble.

Once Sui hides in the dark heart of people, it is like a fish entering the sea and cannot be found, or it should be said that the two originate from the same source, so why not separate them from each other.

Yan Buzhou picked up Nian Fei, and at that moment just now, she also felt a strange sense of staring.That gaze was looking in the direction of the gate of the teahouse, but this aura disappeared in the crowd at once.

After a stick of incense, a dark alley three streets away.

A woman finally stopped her fast walking and leaned against the stone wall panting.A curse rang out in her mind.

"There is a way in the world if you don't go, there is no way to hell, you have to force your way!"Pan Yun, I warn you, stay as far as you can from that green dress!

You can't feel it, I can feel it.That Nian beast could eat me in one bite, not to mention that man seemed to knock me out of my wits just by looking at him.Just mess with the woman's scalp, don't mess with Hades. 』

Pan Yun, who was being trained, said stupidly, "It's so beautiful, she is so beautiful. I don't know what Hades is, but don't you think it's too wasteful to pretend to be a man with such a stunning look?"
