Lu Xun finished his breakfast in a leisurely manner under the probing eyes of all his juniors.

"Let me explain, I went to "Flower House" to investigate yesterday and found something.However, it cannot be disclosed for the time being. "

Cheng Yuanzhen sneered, "Don't dare to admit it if you dare to play? It's a pity that yesterday the juniors were still worried about your physical condition, so they rushed to see you early in the morning, but what did they hear?"

Lu Xun ignored Cheng Yuanzhen's provocation, and looked sincerely at the juniors, "I already have an investigation direction, are you willing to help? You should have learned a lot of information in the mansion yesterday, if you have other investigation directions , You can also follow your own wishes, this is not mandatory."

The juniors looked at each other. To be honest, they didn't find much last night. They asked all the servants, but they didn't get any useful clues. But Cheng Yuanzhen decided that the problem was with the people in the mansion. The flower picker abducted Miss Wen because of cooperation from the inside and the outside.

It sounds possible, but they will be more inclined to Lu Xun, which is a blind and unreasonable bias.

Cheng Yuanzhen is strong and likes others to obey the arrangement.

In contrast, Lu Xun's tone or attitude made them feel respected.

But Lu Xun is unwilling to reveal anything, and cannot make irrational choices because of emotional bias.

Therefore, among the twelve people, some chose Cheng Yuanzhen's more intuitive and clear direction of investigation, and some were willing to pursue Lu Xun unconditionally.

Su Qingheng naturally chose Lu Xun. What was strange was that Xu Zhengyang, who had previously opposed Su Qingheng, also chose to side with Lu Xun.

Cheng Yuanzhen glanced at Lu Xun contemptuously, "See how long you can pretend."

After he left with several juniors, Lu Xun said to the remaining juniors, "Please, juniors, can you help me to buy spices at the spice shop in the city?"

The juniors stared wide-eyed: what do you want to buy?

"Senior Brother Lu, what does buying spices have to do with catching flower pickers?"

"Have……"

Lu Xun followed their words and gave an easily convincing explanation. "The spice might be the fragrance of incense. Miss Wen was taken away, but there was no sign of resistance in the room, indicating that she might not have the ability to resist. Because she was taken away after being stunned."

"So that's how it is..."

"But this spice is not an ordinary spice. It should be sweet and greasy and easy to mix with other spices, so it is not easy to detect."

After arranging tasks for the disciples, Lu Xun and Pei Yu headed directly towards Hualou, and of course, there was a little tail behind them.

The flower building is not open for business in the morning, and they didn't intend to enter through the gate, but sneaked in secretly.

"After that distinguished guest left last night, Miss Hongxiu didn't pick up any other guests."

This distinguished guest refers to Lu Xun and the others. They eavesdropped secretly, and the charming female voice said again: "The flower picker is getting more and more rampant. Don't let it go."

"Which place is it? Why is there no movement at all from the City Lord's side? They have been strengthening their defenses all day long, and they can't defend against the flower picker at all."

"Speaking of which, have you noticed that the kidnapped girls have one thing in common?"

"What is it?"

"Looks..."

The girl's voice suddenly became softer, but the monks could hear very well.Even though they were far away and deliberately lowered the volume, the three of Lu Xun could still hear clearly.

"I heard that a girl from the Wang family in the east of the city also met a "flower picker" and met face to face.However, the girl from the Wang family is still staying at home, and there is nothing wrong with her. "

"You mean..."

"Yes. It's exactly what you think. Miss Wang's face is as big as a pot, and her facial features are ordinary, so the flower pickers don't like it, but they are just not in danger."

The three of them looked at each other, and instead of continuing to listen, they went separately to find Hongxiu's room.

The flower building was very big, and the three of them moved separately, and it took nearly a stick of incense to find it. Just like Miss Wen Jia, there was nothing unusual in the room.

The three were about to leave, but Lu Xun said, "Wait..."

"What?" Pei Yu was puzzled.

"There seems to be something missing."

"That letter..." Su Qingheng said: "The letter in Miss Wen's room was placed in the most conspicuous place, but Master Wen put it away. But..."

"Not in Hongxiu's room." Pei Yu had new doubts, "You said that the "flower picker" forgot, or? "

Lu Xun looked indifferent, and said casually: "It may also be taken away."

Pei Yu turned pale with shock, and was about to ask again, when Lu Xun said again: "I'll just say it casually, why are you so surprised. Maybe it's too late to stay."

This infiltration did not find any useful clues, but added a lot of doubts.

After leaving Hualou, the three went to the homes of several "missing women" and found nothing else.

The three of them were sitting in the inn to rest, and Pei Yusheng lay down on the table without love, "This is almost becoming a folk rumor. It took a whole morning, and there is no useful clue."

It's not that Su Qingheng is not tired, but he is used to the upbringing at home, and he has to straighten his back even when sitting.

In Guanlu Xun, he was not as exaggerated as Pei Yu, but he was not much better. His beautiful face was full of depression, and he was unwilling to even open his mouth.

Su Qingheng always felt that nothing could make Lu Xun too sad. From the very beginning, he thought that this matter would not trouble Lu Xun.

Maybe it's because Lu Xun can always appear suddenly when he is in trouble.It subtly made him think that Lu Xun was omnipotent.

Seeing Lu Xun frowning, Su Qingheng wanted to comfort him, but he was stupid and couldn't speak, and he didn't know what to do except staring at Lu Xun.

Probably because Su Qingheng's gaze was too hot, Lu Xun, who was wandering in the sky, finally came back to his senses, and sighed softly at Su Qingheng's gaze that was hesitant to speak.

"It's useless to look at me, and you're not the only one starving."

Su Qingheng: "..."

In the end, he was worried for a long time. This person was not frowning because of the case at all, but...

hungry……

Pei Yu was startled, "You can still eat, this case has not progressed at all."

Lu Xun turned to look at him and blinked. "The case has not progressed, what does it have to do with my meal?"

"Okay, you have a big heart."

Su Qingheng was speechless, but luckily it wasn't because of the case, otherwise he wouldn't know how to comfort Lu Xun.

Then, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he met Lu Xun's sad eyes.

Su Qingheng: "Why, what's the matter?"

"I'm dying……"

"Hungry..."

Su Qingheng thought for a while, then asked tentatively, "Then shall I go downstairs to urge the food?"

Lu Xun's eyes suddenly became bright.

After Su Qingheng went downstairs, Pei Yu sat up straight and temporarily put the case behind him, "Why does he listen to you so much? He just ignores me when I talk to him."

Lu Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a half-smile: "Because I'm his senior brother, and what you give as a gift is not that important."

"... "

Pei Yu sneered, "Okay, I'm giving it as a gift, and I don't deserve it. It's just you two kissing, for a lifetime, for a long time, and a kiss at the ends of the earth."

Lu Xun: "?"

Why does it sound like something is wrong.

As soon as Su Qingheng finished urging the dishes, the head of the shop immediately brought up the dishes with the waiter, "Guest officer, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

The shopkeeper trembled and motioned for Xiao Er to quickly put down the dishes. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled far-fetchedly.

"Do you need anything else?"

"Let's have some more tea."

"Yes, yes, sir, wait a minute, I'll be here soon."

Pei Yu felt strange, "We urged the food just now, but he still ignored us and asked us to wait. Why did his attitude change so quickly?"

"Because... Ah Heng is cute?" Lu Xun was also puzzled.

"Guest officer, the dishes are all ready." The shopkeeper waved his hands desperately, and the waiter nodded and bowed to apologize, "I'm really sorry, the tea will be here soon."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them ran downstairs in a hurry as if being chased by a dog, and almost rolled.

"Scared me……"

On the stairs, the shopkeeper patted his chest with lingering fear, "Why is that young man so cruel, he just draws such a long knife."

The shop clerk wiped off the cold sweat with the back of his hand, "Shopkeeper, that should be called a sword."

Then, the waiter received a fist on the forehead, and the boss said angrily, "Is that the point? Huh? Are you stupid? No matter whether it's a knife or a sword, it doesn't matter if you stab it, you will bleed from the eight orifices, and you will die without regret. "

"Shopkeeper, that's called bleeding from the seven orifices, and only poisoning can cause bleeding from the seven orifices."

"Of course I know, I still need you to say, go get some tea."

second floor...

Lu Xun was in a happy mood after eating the hot food, so he was interested in chatting with Su Qingheng.

"Why do shopkeepers treat them differently?"

Su Qingheng rubbed his nose and said, "Senior Brother, this fish is quite delicious, if you pinch more, Senior Brother Pei will almost eat the plate."

As soon as food was mentioned, Lu Xun's attention was diverted. Su Qingheng joined the two of them in the grabbing of food as if nothing had happened, but most of them were caught by Lu Xun.

Pei Yu couldn't hold the two of them with one hand, and was so angry that he wanted to throw his chopsticks.

I thought angrily in my heart: Isn't it just that there is a junior brother to pick up vegetables for you, what a big deal, I don't envy you at all.

In the afternoon, it was time for Lu Xun's nap, and no matter what Ren Peiyu said, he refused to accompany him to the street to continue the investigation.

"Are you still in the mood to sleep? We are here to investigate the "disappearance case". If we don't take advantage of the daytime to investigate more, what if another girl disappears tonight? "

Lu Xun looked extremely sleepy, yawning one after another forced his tears to flow, hanging from the corners of his eyes.

"Isn't that great?" Lu Xun yawned again, his voice sounded sleepy.

"Listen..." Pei Yu pointed at Lu Xun and complained to Su Qingheng, "Is your brother speaking human language?"

Su Qingheng refused to comment, but said to Pei Yu: "Senior brother was woken up by you early in the morning, even if you don't let him sleep, he doesn't have the energy to accompany you to find out the news."

This is true, no one can force Lu Xun to do what he doesn't want to do.But this is a matter of human life, and it is not known whether the missing girls will be in danger.

Unable to be troubled by Pei Yu, Lu Xun forced himself to sleep, and said, "I already have a clue, and I will tell you when I wake up. Now, go out and close the door."

Pei Yu wasn't sure if Lu Xun was fooling him or if he really had a clue, but right now there seemed to be no other way but to wait for Lu Xun to wake up.

After Lu Xun fell asleep, Pei Yu and Su Qingheng sat in the yard.

Su Qingheng practiced meditation with his eyes closed, but Pei Yu seemed to have nowhere to go, and he couldn't pester Lu Xun, so he pestered Su Qingheng.

"Compared to before, you have improved fast enough, don't you need to work so hard?"

Su Qingheng ignored him, Pei Yu was idle and bored, and continued to chatter. "Axun, does he really know, or is he just fooling us?"

"you say……"

"You should take care of me."

Su Qingheng opened his eyes suddenly, and met Pei Yu's curious eyes.

Su Qingheng: "Did senior brother say..."

"What?" Pei Yu's eyes widened, waiting for the rest of his sentence.

"You're annoying……"

"Su Qingheng, I'm also your senior brother, why are you so indifferent." Pei Yu was annoyed for a moment, then waved his hand again, "Forget it, I don't care about you."

Thought this was the end of the topic, Pei Yu was quiet for a while, and said again: "If you answer me a question, I won't bother you."

Pei Yu suddenly looked at him with a smile, "Why are you protecting your senior brother so much?"

Then, he got Su Qingheng's look like a fool.

Just when Pei Yu thought he would not answer, Su Qingheng said lightly, as if he was talking about something ordinary, "Because he is my senior brother."

Pei Yu paused, and then said, "Then, then I'm your senior brother too."

"Oh……"

Pei Yu:?

Oh?

He's worth one, huh?

Lu Xun didn't sleep for too long this time, and woke up an hour later.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Su Qingheng meditating in the yard, while Pei Yu was lying on the stone table, pinching... ants bored.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two turned their heads at the same time.

"Brother..."

"You finally woke up, I'm almost bored to death, and you, junior brother, are too boring."

Lu Xun stretched his waist, and when he slept comfortably, his mood became more beautiful.

"You promised me, tell me quickly. What clues do you know." Pei Yu stared at Lu Xun, as if he would not let him go if he didn't say anything.

Lu Xun didn't intend to show off, "It was the conversation between the two girls when we went to the "Flower House" this morning. "

"What are the clues for the conversation?" Pei Yu thought for a while, but couldn't figure out why.

Su Qingheng is obviously smarter than Pei Yu, and he has a better memory. As soon as Lu Xun said it, he immediately pulled out useful information from his memory.

"Senior brother is referring to the one from the Wang family?"

Lu Xun nodded.

It's the girl from the Wang family, who escaped the "flower picker" because of her plain appearance.

Pei Yu's eyebrows almost knit together, "What kind of clue is this?"

Lu Xun glanced at him, the disgust in his eyes was obvious. "The person who pretended to be a "flower picker" captured pretty girls. "

"so what?"

"He arrested so many people, but he didn't capture the girl from the Wang family. What does that mean?" Lu Xun asked him after giving a hint.

Pei Yu suddenly realized, "It means that the Wang family girl is not good-looking."

Lu Xun: "..."

Su Qingheng: "..."

"It shows that the flower picker doesn't know the people in the city very well. He didn't know the person's appearance before arresting them. He just committed the crime randomly. He happened to come to Wang's house, but because it didn't meet his goal, he gave up on the crime."

"I see……"

Pei Yu said again: "So what? We still can't catch him."

Lu Xun stared straight at Pei Yu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Since you can't catch it, wait for him to deliver it to your door."

"You think he is stupid, would you still throw yourself into trouble?"

Lu Xun narrowed his eyes, and Pei Yu shivered at his sight.

Lu Xun suddenly lowered his tone and cast a seductive look at Pei Yu, his tone was gentle and soft.

"Junior brother, do you think I'm beautiful?"
