Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

under night,

Zhenbeihou Mansion,

"Ye Fan, your analysis makes sense..."

Liu Ran said and turned to look at Liu Mengying, "Xiaoying, your guess is wrong. Although I don't know who built the Void Road Array and left, it is definitely not your mother!"

At this point, Liu Ran took a breath and slowly said: "According to your mother, the map into the depths of Weiming Lake was given to her by a fairy..."

"Fairy?"

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Yes!"

Liu Ran nodded, "According to Yingying, although the fairy is as beautiful as a fairy, she seems to have been seriously injured... and she looks different from us... The fairy has a pair of white wings on her back... ….”

"Wings... wings?"

Hearing this, Liu Mengying couldn't help but be stunned.

"I haven't seen it either...but from your mother's description it seems like this..."

Liu Ran looked at Liu Mengying helplessly, "The winged fairy seemed to be very anxious about something at that time. After she gave the map to your mother, she waved her wings and flew away..."

"Xiaoying, to be honest...I thought your mother was dreaming...after all, your mother likes to draw...sometimes she would draw things she imagined in her mind..."

"Not long after that, something happened to your mother... I was not interested in the so-called treasure of Weiming Lake, and I never went into it. Plus there were too many people staring at me... So, I hid everything. .....until you and Ye Fan discuss the cabin by Yueluo Lake and Weiming Lake..."

At the end of the sentence, Liu Ran looked at Ye Fan with questioning eyes.

"I...I don't know any fairies with wings..."

Ye Fan scratched his head, "The only people I know with wings are birds...and tigers..."

"Old...does tigers have wings?"

Liu Mengying blinked her eyes, very surprised.

"Ok!"

Ye Fan nodded, "The tigers on the mountain have wings, they are very powerful!"

...........

the next morning,

Chujian Inn,

"Sister Ning, what's going on?"

Liu Mengying looked at Ning Zimo in confusion, and the middle-aged couple with haggard faces brought by the other party were the same people she had seen at Zhou's house before.

"Mengying, is Ye Fan here? The head of the Zhou family and his wife made a special trip to thank Ye Fan!"

Ning Zimo pointed to the middle-aged couple beside her and said.

"Oh, big brother is studying something inside~ I'll call him!"

After the words fell, Liu Mengying walked towards the inner room.

Soon, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying appeared in the sight of Ning Zimo and others.

"Emperor!"

The head of the Zhou family and his wife immediately knelt down when they saw Ye Fan.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Ye Fan frowned and turned to look at Ning Zimo.

"My benefactor, please seek justice for my little girl Xiangxue. Xiangxue can finally rest in peace under the Nine Springs!"

Before Ning Zimo could answer, the voice of the head of the Zhou family rang out. As he spoke, he and the middle-aged woman kowtowed to Ye Fan.

"Hey hey hey... stop it!"

Just as the head of the Zhou family and his wife were about to kowtow for the second time, Ye Fan stepped forward and grabbed the two of them.

"Xiangxue? You...are you talking about the girl who was killed by Lin Zihao..."

Ye Fan thought for a while and realized, "Actually, I should thank your daughter. Without the strange watery sandalwood perfume that your daughter poured on Lin Zihao, I would have had a lot of effort to find that guy!"

"No no no!"

Hearing this, the head of the Zhou family hurriedly waved his hand, "My benefactor, even if ordinary people know that Lin Zihao killed the little girl, they would never dare to investigate... My benefactor is upright, not afraid of the powerful, and takes risks with his own life. Seeking justice for my little girl among the wolves, tigers and leopards! I am deeply moved..."

Ye Fan blushed and was very embarrassed to be praised by the head of the Zhou family.

"My benefactor, I don't have anything else at home this week...but I have a small success in perfumes and spices. I have prepared some small gifts today, but I will accept them with a smile from my benefactor!"

With that said, the head of the Zhou family handed Ye Fan a token, "My dear friend, with this token, you can go to any store in the Zhou family and take away any perfume and spices you like, no limit to the quantity!"

Next, the head of the Zhou family said many words of gratitude to Ye Fan before bowing and leaving.

"Zi Mo, did you tell them?!"

Ye Fan looked at Ning Zimo speechlessly, he was so embarrassed just now.

"I just told the truth~"

Ning Zimo sighed slightly, "Without you...that girl Zhou Xiangxue...there are so many bloodless female corpses in Jiangzhou City...the victims in the underground passage of the City Lord's Mansion... Their parents may not be able to seek justice for their daughters until they die..."

..........

Afterwards, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying went shopping, while Ning Zimo continued to investigate Lin Zihao's cases.

...........

at noon,

"Brother, do we want to buy cookies?"

Liu Mengying looked at Ye Fan with some confusion, because Ye Fan took her to visit many stalls selling biscuits, cakes and the like throughout the morning, but Ye Fan only looked at them without buying them.

"Ok!"

Ye Fan nodded, "A rather special biscuit, but I haven't seen anyone selling it!"

"What kind of cookies are they?"

Hearing this, Liu Mengying couldn't help but become curious.

"Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days? Logically speaking, someone should start selling mooncakes!"

Ye Fan looked puzzled, then walked directly into a pastry shop not far ahead. He got straight to the point: "Boss, do you sell mooncakes here?"

"Moon...moon cake?"

The boss originally greeted Ye Fan enthusiastically, but when he heard Ye Fan's words, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

"Oh, just the kind of mooncakes we eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Ye Fan thought the boss didn't hear clearly, so he immediately explained.

Hearing this, a look of fear immediately appeared on the face of the pastry shop owner. He stammered: "This... this guest officer is joking... How can a small... small shop have such a thing as moon cakes... .....You...you should look elsewhere!"

After saying that, before Ye Fan could respond, the pastry shop owner turned around and walked in in a panic, with beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead...

"Little Douya, is this mooncake something scary?"

Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Liu Mengying in confusion.

"Brother... I also heard about mooncakes when I was a kid~"

Liu Mengying looked around and whispered: "When I was very young, my father mentioned to me...Mooncakes are eaten during family reunions during the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoy the moon together. They are also called Mid-Autumn cakes... "

"But I don't know why, people in Jiangzhou City are very afraid of this... I asked the servants and maids in the mansion, they were very scared when they heard about mooncakes..."

"My father also didn't let me tell others about eating mooncakes... One time, my father made mooncakes, but he said they didn't taste the same... and I never ate mooncakes again..."

Liu Mengying quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"That's it~"

Ye Fan scratched his head and looked confused, "Being afraid of moon cakes... is really a strange thing..."

"Mr. Ye!"

At this time, a male voice that was familiar to Ye Fan sounded, but it was Liu Laizi, but the other person was not lame at this time.
