Su Ning knew that Xiaoqian was just a girl who messed around, and it was not easy to know so many things, so she patted Xiaoqian on the head and praised Han Zimo's habitual actions, "Thank you, Xiaoqian, but I have one last request, can you Take us to the toilet in the backyard? By the way, has anyone been to the toilet today?"

Xiaoqian was patted on the head, her black pupils were shining, she nodded quickly and said: "Someone should have been to the backyard today, I don't know very well, but I can take the young masters to have a look."

Xiaoqian was a little jumpy and walked forward. She had been in the backyard for ten years, and it was the first time that someone would treat her so tenderly. It felt like her heart was about to jump out.

Su Ning walked side by side with Tao Hongyi and the others, and said in a low voice, "There are footprints on the roof, they climbed up from Wang Er's house. Waiting to see the toilet, you and Zimo should keep an eye on Wang Er, don't let him run away. Zimo usually has guards dispatched by his side, but don't attract attention and don't alarm Wang Er."

Both Tao Hongyi and Han Zimo nodded to express their understanding.Especially Han Zimo became extremely excited. He had lived for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had done such an interesting thing as investigating cases and catching murderers.

Suning patted Han Zimo's head, and said quite seriously: "It's about human life, don't take it as a joke."

Han Zimo nodded immediately and raised his hand firmly to swear: "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task!"

Su Ning knew that Han Zimo's childishness was still there, but Tao Hongyi was watching over him, so he shouldn't cause trouble, so he gave Tao Hongyi a wink and told him to take good care of this little devil.

Tao Hongyi stood aside and smiled knowingly.

There are a few willow trees planted next to the toilet, but at this moment there are only bare branches left. The path leading to the toilet has been stepped on by people, crossing branches, and it is impossible to tell who is who.There were too many people at the scene in the morning and it was too messy, and some evidence had already been artificially damaged.But because there are few people in the backyard itself, and this kind of thing happened today, there will not be many people going to the toilet.

Suning told Xiaoqian not to go forward first, and first walked out of a new trail, and then looked back after reaching the toilet.

If Wu Shigui was not the murderer: First, he had drunk too much and was dizzy at the time, so he must have been walking unsteadily, and his steps would not be in a straight line.

Second: In addition, he was looking here from Mochizuki's room, which means that the path was the same as theirs, so it was not Wu Shigui who came from another direction.

Third: Suning presses the footprints of the daily path with his hands. Because the snow stopped last night, the covered snowflakes are large and the footprints are small.But because after walking at night, the footprints will definitely freeze, so new footprints are also excluded.

After a series of exclusions, there are about four paths suspected to have been walked by Wu Shigui, and the thickness of the feet is about the same as the degree of icing.

Suning looked at the four paths, looked at the end of these footprints, and finally walked to the toilet. It was cold in winter, and there was no smell from outside the toilet.He stood by the willow tree, the willow branches were bare, only some snowflakes remained on the thick branches, and the snow had already fallen in piles.

And just beside the willow tree, an accessory dangling from the waist fell into the snow, forming a small hole in the uneven snow, which could not have been discovered if the red string hadn't been exposed.Su Ning bent down to pick up the red string, and pulled out a piece of warm yellow jade pendant along the red string, which was very valuable.

First, he put away the jade pendant, went back to the corridor, and showed the jade pendant to Tao Hongyi, Han Zimo and Xiao Qian.

Before Suning could speak, Han Zimo pointed at the jade pendant and shouted, "This is Wu Shigui's, I've seen it before."

This sentence really made Suning overjoyed, he just wanted to try his luck with this jade pendant, maybe someone met Wu Shigui while going to the toilet, but this piece belonged to Wu Shigui, but it was easy to handle for a long time.

Smiling and bending his eyes, he said: "The jade pendant I found under the willow tree, judging from the footprints, Wu Shigui went to the toilet, but there should be someone inside, so he waited for a long time outside leaning against the willow tree, and then dropped the jade pendant in a hurry The footprints under the willow tree are very messy, it seems that Wu Shigui's impatience in waiting outside caused the formation of pacing left and right."

Tao Hongyi immediately said: "So you mean to find the person who went to the toilet at that time?"

Su Ning nodded: "Well, someone should have met Wu Shigui at that time. I'm going to ask the madam for a few words, and we will split up when we get the guests who came to the backyard last night."

Tao Hongyi and Han Zimo immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

Suning turned to Xiaoqian, looked at the little sister and said softly, "Xiaoqian, can you take me to meet the bustard?"

Xiaoqian is only a ten-year-old girl. Although she doesn't understand what they are talking about, she also understands that it is related to the murder case last night, so she obediently takes Suning to find the old bustard.

The place where the old bustard lives is also in the backyard, but it is relatively remote. On weekdays, a group of thugs will surround the outside to prevent the things inside from being stolen.

The thugs all knew Xiaoqian, and Suning had a token from Yan Ke, so it was easy to get in, but Xiaoqian had to stay outside and wait.

In terms of the decoration of the lobby, Chunyi Building is extraordinarily luxurious and exquisite. The bustard who can manage Chunyi Building will certainly not live in a bad place.Although this yard is remote, when I just stepped on the porch and knocked on the door, I could feel the heat from inside.

"Come in~" A charming and charming voice came from inside.

Suning opened the door and entered the room, and a warm scent came over his face. Not only was the incense burner burning incense in the room, but there seemed to be a fire dragon burning under the floor, making the whole room hot without the cold outside.

When the old man saw Suning, he quickly stood up and said with a smile, "It's Mr. Lin, why did this come to me? Are you not busy investigating the case?"

"I just came to ask a few things."

"Oh, sit down quickly." The bustard stretched out her hand to ask Suning to sit down, raised her white wrist, poured a cup of tea and handed it over. "Tea, please."

"Thank you." Suning took the teacup, took a sip and put it down.

He took out a small paper bag from his waist, which contained the unburned spices found in the incense burner in Tangyue's room. "Excuse me, do you recognize this?"

Seeing Suning unwrapping the small paper bag, the old bustard took a silver hairpin from the bun and spread out the inside of the spices to look at it. She suddenly understood and said with a smile: "I said, why does it look so familiar? This is the best in our Chunyi Building. Spices, there are not only roses and roses in it, but also acacia and tweed.”

Su Ning's eyes changed, and he asked, "Acacia fruit? Does it have the effect of confusing people's mind?"

The old bustard smiled and waved his hands, and quickly said: "How can this be, at most it's just to add to the fun and make the guests more happy. But it also has an effect, that is, after burning~ Its aftertaste will no longer make people excited, but instead It has the effect of calming the nerves, and it can also make the guests sleep more comfortably."

There was a faint smile on the corner of Suning's mouth, which was interesting with aphrodisiac and soothing spices.

"I also want to ask what kind of person Tangyue is? I heard from others that Tangyue came here after being convicted by an official girl, so she was not very obedient, and she didn't receive many customers."

The old bustard's face changed a little at this moment, and she quickly covered her mouth and said with an embarrassed smile: "These offended official women were like this when they first came to me to sell themselves, lonely and arrogant, and they can't understand us who sell their flesh and blood. But they are not the same, as the owner of this Chunyi building, I always have to eat, I bought those people with money, and if they are disobedient, of course I have to use some methods. "

Seeing the bustard's hesitant appearance, Suning took out a token and put it on the table, and said, "I'm not here to fight against injustice, but to investigate the case. You can rest assured to explain in detail, but if there is something hidden, don't say I'll sue you Knowing but not reporting."

The bustard hastily added tea to Suning at this moment, a little flustered. "What did Mr. Lin do? Of course I know everything. Tangyue is an official woman who was convicted. I sold myself in the Chunyi Building two years ago. I said that my younger brother was sick, so I sold it for a piece of gold. Own.

But I gave the gold, and she also came to me. This matter of paying money and goods is legitimate.But how do I know, she didn't pick up the guests after she came, and even stabbed the guests, this ruined the signboard of my Chunyi Building.That's why I locked her up for a few days~"

Suning stared at the madam's face with embarrassment, and asked forcefully, "Keep talking, don't hide anything."

The old bustard was forced to slap the table, and could only say, "It's what we often use here to treat disobedient girls. After shutting her down, she was given a few whips. Afterwards, Tangyue promised to be obedient, as long as she went to see her brother again, but who? Knowing that her younger brother’s family moved after they got the gold. Tangyue searched for life after she came back, and she actually wanted to hang herself with a rope. It's noisy."

Su Ning understood: "So it's been a long time since you took the medicine, right?"

The old procuress gave a embarrassed smile, and finally nodded, "Although she took the medicine for a month, plus she was disobedient, of course it took a few whips to make her obedient. Later, Tangyue became obedient, so I didn't continue to give her medicine. No Thinking of meeting Yu Shilang half a year ago, that man was very kind to Tangyue. He gave me a sum of money and let Tangyue live in the backyard. Tangyue's room."

"Tangyue doesn't usually need a maid?"

"It's not that I said, that child is stubborn, even when she is beaten, she doesn't yell. She probably hates Chunyi Building, so she doesn't let other people into her room. But she sold herself in at the beginning, I I didn't force her, since she has embarked on this path, why should she become the first memorial archway."

Su Ning took another sip of tea. It seemed that Tangyue was a woman with strong self-esteem, and she was on the verge of mental breakdown many times. Her poor background was abandoned by her parents and brothers as a pawn.

Moreover, the medicine in the brothel is not something to be underestimated. It took a month and a whip to be obedient, which proved that the medicine had entered Tangyue's flesh and blood, and it was very difficult to quit this addiction, so in the end it was The desires of the body are obeyed.

"Then why did Minister Yu Bao Tangyue? I heard from Mrs. Yu that it was Wu Shigui who brought Yu Yuanliang back then?"

"These things happened a long time ago. I don't remember who brought Yu Shilang. But I remember that he chose Tangyue when he first came here, because Tangyue has always disliked these guests, but that day When Yu Shilang was leaving, I saw Tangyue sending Yu Shilang away. I was surprised at the time. After that, Yu Shilang came here often, and one day he directly told me that Tangyue was hired. As for why Tangyue was hired, that's a question. I can't know the guest's intentions, I just know that Yu Shilang is really good to Tangyue. Since Tangyue entered the backyard, her face is not as depressed as before. "

When the old bustard said this, his eyes flashed, and he covered his mouth with his hands and whispered: "Tangyue didn't like to play with those things before. Since she joined the servant, she has bought a lot of things like jade."

Su Ning lowered her eyes and nodded. Tangyue's temperament is stronger, but her physical desire is also very strong. The torture between mental and physical will definitely make her unhappy.Yu Yuanliang can make Tangyue fall in love, there must be something that can impress Tangyue, as for wanting those things, is it to satisfy Tangyue?There are also traces of useful jade potential on Yu Shilang's body.
