I am a consultant in Kaifeng

The weather in the past few days has been a bit abnormal. One moment it was sunny, and the next moment it was cloudy.

Du Xiaoning has not been busy in the library recently, she and Shou Feng wandered to the north of Bianjing.

The moat was built around Bianjing, and the scenery in the north is also good.

Du Xiaoning stood on the embankment, looking at a tall building in front of him.Faintly, there was the sound of a zither coming from the building.

Shoufeng stood beside Du Xiaoning, looking at the tall building.

"Third Young Master, is there any problem with this building?"

Du Xiaoning looked away from the tall building, "If there is any problem, just take a look and you will know."

Shoufeng took another look at the tall building and said, "When I arrived in Bianjing, I passed by this place. I was young and liked to run around. In my hometown in Chenzhou, I had never seen such a tall building. It’s very novel to see it, and I really want to know if the scenery on the tall building is good.”

Du Xiaoning: "And then?"

Shoufeng: "Then I took advantage of Uncle Huo and Aunt Huo's rest time to take a walk to the tall building. Third son, don't look at this building as if it's close at hand, but it's actually far away from us. The building is beautiful , but we shouldn't be able to get in."

Du Xiaoning: "Why?"

Shoufeng: "Because the building is in a large manor, the gate outside the manor is locked."

Du Xiaoning smiled, "It sounds very mysterious."

The young man was silent, "There should be nothing mysterious about it. Didn't you say that Bianjing is full of dignitaries? Any dignitary can have a manor like this outside of Bianjing, right? Don't mention it, this place is quite remote, third son, Do you really want to take a look at this tall building?"

Du Xiaoning responded lightly.

When Shoufeng heard that Du Xiaoning planned to visit the tall building, he felt that it was not a good idea.

Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is very remote. If something happens, he can run alone, but how can he run with the third son?

The third young master was beautiful, but when he turned around and was tied up and treated like a husband in the village, he was afraid that his brother would break his leg.

Shou Feng frowned, "It looks like it's going to rain heavily, Third Young Master, don't go."

Du Xiaoning glanced at him and said, "Wouldn't it be better if it rained heavily? If others asked us why we went, we could still say that we were looking for shelter from the rain."

Shoufeng: "No way!"

Du Xiaoning raised her eyebrows, she tilted her head, and looked at Shou Feng with her phoenix eyes bent, "Who says no?"

When the young man was looked at by the third young master, he suddenly became very humble, and said in a stuttering voice: "I, I, I said, is it okay?"

Du Xiaoning smiled: "No."

Shoufeng: ""

Du Xiaoning had already left the embankment and embarked on the road leading to the high-rise manor.

Shoufeng hurriedly followed.

The conversation between the two came from the wind——

"Shoufeng, do you feel that your brother has been a little strange these two days?"

"There is nothing strange about my brother. He still gets up before dawn to practice swords as before, goes to Kaifeng mansion at that time, and returns home after dark. If there is anything strange, it is probably because he didn't know what he did the night before. Get up with a stinky face and wash the sheets"

Just before the heavy rain fell, Zhan Zhao stepped into the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

He walked along the corridor of Kaifeng Mansion all the way to the library.There was no frost-colored figure that could be seen at a glance in the study building, only Gongsun Ce was standing in front of the shelf next to it.

Gongsun Ce heard the movement and looked sideways at him.

Zhan Zhao: ""

Mr. Zhan was inexplicably guilty.

Then, Mr. Zhan felt that he had been to the library in Kaifeng Mansion so many times, why should he be guilty?Even though he cared too much about Du Xiaoning, there was nothing wrong with him in his heart.

Mr. Zhan's thoughts paused, and he suddenly remembered the unspeakable dream the night before yesterday.

In the dream, Du Xiaoning was stuck together with him, her fair face was flushed unusually, and she was out of breath.

——At first I wanted to act as if nothing had happened, but now I feel even more guilty.

Zhan Zhao felt that he was not well.

He walked to the table of the Eight Immortals and sat down sleepily, feeling very self-defeating.

It was raining heavily outside, and the raindrops hit the roof and the plantains in the garden.

Gongsun Ce walked over and poured him a glass of water, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Zhao picked up the teacup expressionlessly, and drank the water, "It's nothing. I just came back from the Ministry of Criminal Justice with Mr. Bao. On the way, Mr. Ren asked about the progress of Ren Minling's case."

Ren Minling's manuscript may be the key.

But just a few words on paper and the story of an unknown woman can't explain anything.

Zhan Zhao put Zhan Lujian on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Ning's conjecture may have some truth, the file you found can only show that Zhang Qingping's younger sister disappeared back then, and maybe she was with those women who came from other places. It is related to the disappearance, not necessarily related to Ren Minling's death."

Gongsun Ce: "Xiao Ning said the same thing."

Zhan Zhao was silent for a while, and then asked naturally, "Where are the others?"

Gongsun Ce: "Are you asking Xiao Ning?"

Zhan Zhao: ""

Mr. Zhan's face was slumped, and he tapped his fingers on the table impatiently, thinking that there are other people you mentioned just now? "

Gongsun Ce smiled, and fiddled with the lid of the white-glazed teacup with his slender fingers, not playing tricks on Mr. Zhan.

"Xiao Ning and Shou Feng went out, saying they were going to explore the north."

"Adventure?"

"Didn't Ren Minling's manuscript say that there is a girl named Changqing in Beicheng, and does Changqing still like to go to the tall buildings in Beicheng? Xiao Ning said that there is only such a place in Bianjing City. If there is a tall building in the manuscript, it is impossible for her not to know about it." If there is, there is a high probability that it is outside the city."

Zhan Zhao: "Can this be taken seriously?"

Gongsun Ce picked up the teacup, not saying anything.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help becoming irritable again.

Once he encountered something related to Du Xiaoning, it seemed difficult for him to maintain a calm state of mind.

This was probably because he realized that he was special to Du Xiaoning, and there was nothing he could do.

Zhan Zhao sat for a while, the rain outside was pouring heavily, as if a hole had been broken in the sky, and he poured water on the ground desperately.

Gongsun Ce watched the rain outside with him, and said softly, "It's raining so hard, they should have come back a long time ago. They haven't come back now, maybe they were delayed on the road."

Zhan Zhao frowned, thinking about what was in the suburbs north of Bianjing.

Suddenly, he remembered that a few years ago, Grand Master Pang's brother-in-law had enclosed a piece of land there and built a manor, and there was also a tall building in the manor.

At that time, Shoufeng and Aunt Huo and Uncle Huo passed by Bianjing from their hometown in Chenzhou.

Shoufeng said that the gate of the manor was locked, and there was the sound of a zither coming from the tall building.

Did Du Xiaoning and Shou Feng go to that place?

The more Zhan Zhao thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, he stood up holding the Zhanlu sword and ran out.

Gongsun Ce: "Zhan Zhao, where are you going?"

Zhan Zhao didn't turn his head back, "Go pick him up."

It was dark and the city gates were about to close.

Zhan Zhao galloped away on a fine horse, Gongsun Ce looked at the figure in the rain, and suddenly felt uneasy.

Du Xiaoning looked like a playboy, but he had been with Du Xiaoning for a few months, and he knew that this person seemed to act recklessly, but he was actually very measured.

If it's going to be dark today and you haven't come back yet, don't worry about something happening.

Gongsun Ce frowned, and turned to look for Mr. Bao.

The manor outside Bianjing is called Xunyuan.

That tall building is called Wenxian Building.

At this time, Du Xiaoning and Shou Feng were secretly looking for Paradise.

Wenxian Building is a very unusual high-rise building, and there are different girls living on each floor.The lower the floor, the more women live there.

The gate of the manor is locked and guards are guarding it.

Probably because the owner here is very confident in the nursing skills, so the martial law in the high-rise building is not strict.

Don't ask how Du Xiaoning knew these things.

Because just now, the martial arts genius Shou Feng had already gone to Wenxian Tower to explore the way.

Shoufeng and Du Xiaoning hid in a mountain corridor in Xunyuan, it was already dark, and the guards of Xunyuan didn't bother to come here to patrol.

Shou Feng braved the rain to explore the way, so his body was already soaked.

He took the sheep by hand and fumbled for a set of clean clothes in the building to change into.

While the boy was changing his clothes, Du Xiaoning was thinking about when the rain would stop.

They were very lucky today and entered the Xun Paradise.

But it was also very unlucky, because it was pitch black and it was raining heavily, leaving was not an easy task.

If she didn't come home later, the adoptive father might go crazy.

Right now, I can't care so much.

Du Xiaoning thought for a while, and suddenly said to Shoufeng: "I want to ask Xianlou for a look."

Shoufeng: ""

The wind was so strong that he heard nothing.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Du Xiaoning threatened with a smile: "If you don't accompany me, I will go by myself."

The innocent boy sighed helplessly and melancholy, and was defeated.

There was only one person living in the top floor of Wenxian Tower, and Shou Feng directly used lightness kung fu to bring Du Xiaoning up to the balcony on the top floor.

The patio door was open, and the dim light inside could be seen.

Shou Feng walked to the door, looked inside, and then waved to Du Xiaoning.

He pointed to the door and made a sleeping posture.

Du Xiaoning raised her eyebrows and walked over.

Standing beside Shou Feng, she looked in through the crack of the door, and saw that there were purple gauze curtains hanging all around inside. The interior decoration was very simple, including a couch, a screen, a dressing table, and a mahogany round table.

On the mahogany round table, there is a jug cup, the jug is poured on the table, and the wine inside has already flowed out.A woman in a purple dress was lying on the table. She was lying on the table, unable to see her face clearly, only her black hair was hanging down, almost to the ground.

Du Xiaoning thought she was drunk, but she groaned and stood up while supporting the table.

So Du Xiaoning saw her appearance clearly——

She is a stunning woman of all kinds.

She stood up and reached for the jug, and when she found that there was no wine in the jug, she threw the jug on the ground.Then he shook his body and picked up a portrait.

Facing the portrait, she sighed with a smile and said: "I heard that you have been liberated, and I am happy for you in my heart. I wanted to get drunk for your wish, but now I have no alcohol. I really want to get drunk, I can't help it." I'm in charge."

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder.

The rain that had stopped pouring down again.

The woman inside the door seemed to be laughing, but also seemed to be crying.

In such a rainy night, it is inevitable that it will be a little intrusive.

Du Xiaoning had no interest in scaring herself, and was just about to leave quietly with Shoufeng.

At this time, the woman took the portrait and turned around.

Then Du Xiaoning and Shou Feng saw the portrait clearly.

The girl in the painting has bright eyes and white teeth, and a smile like a flower.

——That was Ren Minling.
