Warm fragrance cloud around

The cool morning breeze blew head-on, Lin Junnuan's eyelids moved slightly, he frowned and woke up, and wanted to stretch, but found that he couldn't move his hands and feet.

Opening her eyes, there was a strange carved flower on top of her head, and her wandering mind returned instantly. She remembered drinking and chatting with Cheng Shaoqing in the courtyard of Jianyuanhou Mansion last night, and her consciousness fell into chaos after a while. Could it be that she was kidnapped now? !

Lin Junnuan struggled to get up, but the ropes on his wrists and ankles were tied very firmly, his hands and feet were so red that he couldn't let go even half of it. He was about to call for help when he caught a glimpse of someone standing outside the wide open door out of the corner of his eye. figure.

Cheng Shaoqing was looking at this side with a dark face, and the whole body was exuding a cold air. For some reason, she suddenly became a little weak, and forced out a dry smile.

"Cheng Shaoqing, morning, good morning."

Cheng Jiangyun turned a blind eye to her greeting, stepped into the room in two or three steps, took out a dagger and cut the rope that bound her, threw down a new set of men's robes, and said coldly: "Change your clothes and come out quickly." His eyes never fell on her for a moment from the beginning to the end.

Lin Junnuan stood stiffly on the big bed, watching him come in and leave with a dazed face, her confused thoughts gradually became clear, and considering her indescribable wine taste, she finally had a general understanding of the situation at this time, and hurriedly got up Checking her attire, except for a little wrinkle and a little smell, there is no other abnormality. It seems that she was restrained last night and did not make any big troubles. The identity of the woman should not be exposed... right?

Holding her head and thinking hard for a long time, she couldn't recall what embarrassing things she did after being drunk last night. There was a light cough from outside the door. Lin Junnuan quickly hid behind the screen and changed her clothes. After wiping his face with the tea on the table, he took out the powder he had brought with him and applied it on his face and neck. He barely tied his hair in front of the mirror, and then walked out of the room with vigor.

Cheng Jiangyun stood at the door of the room with his back to her. He didn't look back after hearing the movement behind him. He whispered "follow" and walked out.

Lin Junnuan took small steps to keep up with him, and asked with a dry smile, "I drank too much last night, so there should be... nothing wrong?"

Cheng Jiangyun paused slightly, and said with a sullen face: "I always believe that doing what you can is the most important character of a person. What does Mr. Lin think?"

Lin Junnuan continued to laugh dryly: "Yes, you are right, last night..."

"Mr. Lin really opened my eyes last night."

Cheng Jiangyun almost gritted his teeth and said this, Lin Junnuan felt a slight chill on the back of his neck, well, there is no need to ask, she must have had another crazy scene last night while drinking, and offended people thoroughly.

"Then, did Shaoqing notice anything... special last night?" For example, she is a daughter or something...

Cheng Jiang frowned, looked her up and down quietly, snorted softly, and without saying a word, stepped forward to speed up.

What the hell does this guy mean?Lin Junnuan was a little confused by his attitude, but Cheng Shaoqing didn't want to mention it, and she didn't have to dig out her own embarrassment. Even if she found out that she was a daughter, it's not illegal for a woman to disguise herself as a man, as long as he didn't make it clear. She can still play the role of Mr. Pianpian with confidence and boldness.

In terms of self-deception, Miss Lin has always done a good job.

After letting go of his worries, Lin Junnuan became more courageous. After looking around to make sure there was no one else, he smiled at Cheng Jiangyun and continued to change the topic to the murder case.

"Cheng Shaoqing, there is no so-called physical evidence at all, right?"

Cheng Jiangyun's pupils narrowed slightly, and he glanced at her coldly: "The hairpin of the deceased was indeed seized in Mo's house."

"Even so, it cannot be ruled out that the hairpin was put in deliberately. It is not only the murderer who has access to the deceased's belongings, but also the investigators."

Lin Junnuan raised the corner of her mouth, and whispered close to his ear: "For example——Cheng Shaoqing."

Cheng Jiangyun's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at her with warning eyes. Lin Junnuan didn't show any weakness, and stared back innocently.

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

"Cheng Shaoqing doesn't need to worry," Lin Junnuan said with a straight expression, "I just want to help find the real culprit, and I will definitely not destroy Shaoqing's plan."

Cheng Jiangyun firmly grasped her left wrist: "Continue talking, what plan?!"

"The plan to confuse the real culprit, the plan to clear the suspicion of painter Mo, right?"

Taking advantage of the moment when Cheng Jiangyun was in a daze, Lin Junnuan withdrew his wrist forcefully, and continued, "Except that they were all customers of Mr. Mo, the four deceased had nothing in common. If there is no strong evidence to prove their innocence, Mo The painter will definitely be judged as the real culprit and go to jail. Under such circumstances, we should simply burn the boat and fabricate clues to prove the crime of the painter, which may confuse the real culprit and let him show his feet, right?"

Cheng Jiangyun's frightened and angry expression gradually calmed down, and he didn't comment on Lin Junnuan's speculation. Just as he was about to say something, two little maidservants bluffed on the side of the road, and immediately stopped, dragging Lin Junnuan quickly Stepping out of the Hou's mansion, this time the strength in his hands was much lighter than before.

At this time, it was only about Mao time, and there were not many pedestrians on the road in front of the Hou's mansion, and the surroundings were quiet. Cheng Jiangyun still did not let go of his hand when he left the Hou's mansion. He took her and continued walking for a while before letting go. question.

"You don't think Mo Shubai is the murderer?"

Lin Junnuan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Although I have no friendship with Painter Mo, I always feel that he is not the kind of villain who treats human life as a joke."

"Know the face but not the heart."

"That said, if he is the murderer, there are many things that cannot be justified."

"for example?"

"The first point, as I said before, judging from the fact that the corpse is not messed up, the murderer should be a person with a delicate mind and may even have a tendency to perfectionism. to this point."

Lin Junnuan thought of the messy and alcohol-smelling studio in Danqing Pavilion, which had nothing to do with perfectionism.

"Probably just a disguise."

"Well, it's not impossible," Lin Junnuan nodded slightly, and continued.

"The second point is the question of motives. These murders were neither for money nor for sex, so what is the murderer's purpose? As long as Master Fanmo has any grievances with the deceased, it is impossible not to find any clues. "

"There are also insane people in the world who take pleasure in killing people."

"I don't deny this, but if it's just for the fun of killing, it's natural to attack the widowed Hua Niang. There's no need to go out of your way to break into Xu's mansion, stun the maidservant, and then kill Xu Qinglian. Looking back at the details of the murderer's behavior, he He was extremely rational before and after the murder, and he obviously had full purpose in choosing the target."

"I have also guessed whether the murderer is the enemy of Painter Mo, so he specially selects his customers to kill him, so as to blame Painter Mo, but this does not make sense. If it is to set blame, the murderer does not need to take away the portrait, it is clear. Only by displaying it can the artist Mo be convicted earlier, isn't it?"

Cheng Jiangyun didn't speak, but her thin lips were slightly tightened, as if she was seriously thinking about whether her words were reasonable.

Lin Junnuan didn't mind, and continued to state her opinion: "The third point is that people's words and deeds are easy to be hypocritical, but the smell on the body cannot be faked. Where have you been and what have you done? The smell around you will also betray you."

She pointed her finger at the tip of her nose, and said with a light smile, "My nose tells me that Painter Mo is not a villain."

"But no matter what, the murderer and Painter Mo definitely have some kind of relationship. They are not enemies, but they should not be considered friends either. This is very intriguing."

"What you said is not unreasonable," Cheng Jiangyun frowned, and his voice was low and deep: "But no matter what point, it is not enough to completely clear Mo Shubai's suspicion."

"That's why you designed to lure the enemy." Lin Junnuan patted him on the shoulder twice appreciatively, "I didn't expect Cheng Shaoqing to take such a big risk in order to investigate the case."

Cheng Jiangyun's brows became tighter and tighter, and he sighed after a long time: "Brother Mo came up with the plan, and he is the one who will die with guilt if he is not careful."

Mo Shubai said that because of him ten years ago, the murderer was not brought to justice, and the dead may not be able to rest in peace. This time, he must not run away again. Even if it costs his own life, he must find out the murderer.

His attitude was so sincere, and Cheng Jiangyun had no other choice but to cooperate, so he personally forged evidence and sent this elder brother Mo whom he had admired like his own brother to prison in his childhood.

Although he could use his authority to try to avoid interrogating Brother Mo and delaying the trial of the case, if the murderer just stops and disappears completely, Brother Mo may never see the light of day again. Such a plan may not make any sense.

"If he didn't trust you, he wouldn't take such a risk." Lin Junnuan said suddenly, "Because he believed that Cheng Shaoqing would find out the real culprit and bring him to justice, he entrusted his life to your hands .”

Cheng Jiangyun smiled bitterly and nodded slightly: "I understand, thank you very much."

Lin Junnuan had been focusing on analyzing the case just now, and followed Cheng Jiangyun subconsciously, without paying attention to where he was going. At this time, the surrounding scenery became more and more familiar. No, this is not the road to Cheng Yibo's mansion. ? !

She turned sideways and stared at Cheng Jiangyun. The other party had adjusted his expression at this time, and looked at her calmly: "Uncle Chengyi's residence is here, let's go in."

Lin Junnuan's mind was in a mess, Cheng Shaoqing actually knew that she was from the Chengyi residence, when did he know and how much did he know?She disguised herself as a man, and the fact that she was originally the eldest lady of the uncle's mansion had already been revealed? !

Not long ago, although she had lied to herself that she was fearless, it was clear that Cheng Jiangyun knew a lot more about her than she imagined. After knowing the truth, what would his attitude be?Despise her disregarding etiquette, integrity and shame, and show her face all day long, or warn her to pay attention to her duty as a woman and avoid getting involved in the case?

At this moment, Lin Junnuan thought a lot, maybe she should just turn around and leave, and make a detour when she sees Cheng Shaoqing, or she should punch him hard to thank him for taking care of him during this time, or, simply pretend Putting on the posture of Miss Qianjin, to restore a little bit of her little lady image?

Before clarifying her emotions, Cheng Shaoqing beside her smiled at her, her voice was a little more sincere than usual: "Whether you are Mr. Lin Jun or Miss Lin, this case needs your help. I hope you can cooperate." .”

Is this...the meaning that they don't plan to pursue her for forgery, and they can happily investigate the case together in the future?Lin Junnuan was overjoyed, nodded and smiled repeatedly: "Of course, of course, I'm very happy! But when did Cheng Shaoqing know my identity?"

"Miss Lin really underestimated Dali Temple."

"Why didn't you expose me as soon as possible?"

Thinking of this, Lin Junnuan couldn't help feeling a little resentful. Knowing her true identity these days, she still watched her act stupidly without saying a word. What kind of mentality is Cheng Shaoqing? !

Cheng Jiangyun didn't answer her question, but just glanced in the direction of Chengyi Bo's mansion, and said softly: "Go in, see you at Dali Temple tomorrow."

Without waiting for her to answer, she turned around and left immediately after speaking, Lin Junnuan struggled for a long time, but finally did not make a sound to tell him to stop.

She needs to digest the current situation well.

The author has something to say:

Miss Lin who finally knew that she had lost her horse a long time ago: o(╥﹏╥)o
