Has the clue been broken again?

Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo walked back and forth in this small shop for several times.

Impossible! If the knife was really placed in the shop, the murderer would definitely not have time to steal it!

Lu Chengfeng thought to himself, and couldn't help but raise his head again and look around.

At this time, the flames in the stove were getting stronger and stronger. Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, as if some new firewood had been lit.

Lu Chengfeng saw the dancing and flickering fire. Immediately, his eyes lit up and he asked:

"Old Deng! Don't just pull those useless things for me! Let me ask you, where was the knife placed when it was stolen? Was it placed just above the stove?"

"Yes! Sir! How do you know? I was preparing to repair it at that time! Suddenly I felt anxious, so I just put it on the stove! How do I know, how do I know..." Old Deng clapped his thigh and beat his chest.

road.

"Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?" Wu Jingmo gave the blacksmith a vicious look and asked angrily.

"Hey! You didn't ask me!" The blacksmith slapped his neck and said stubbornly.

It turns out that the knife was placed just above the stove at that time. So, in this way, the knife was only a few steps away from the door. If you wanted to go back and forth in a hurry, you should have plenty of time in just one pee.

.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Lao Deng murmured to himself:

"Hey! What a big deal! Isn't it just that I lost a broken knife? Are you here to find fault with me for that customer? Why do you want to report it to the official to scare me? I will just pay! My old boss Deng, here,

If you don’t have anything else, if you want a knife, there are plenty of them! You can choose whatever you want in this shop! I, Old Deng, can afford to pay for it!”

"Did you know that this knife was one of the murder weapons involved in the Jiang family murder case that shocked the whole city last night!" Lu Chengfeng said with an angry frown.

"How... how is this possible? I really didn't lose it on purpose! How could I know it in just one pee? Besides, there are hundreds of weapons in my shop, and there are many more valuable than that broken knife!

The knife is in disrepair at first glance. I never thought who would steal that thing! Are you doubting me?"

The blacksmith was obviously shocked, and big beads of sweat began to drip from his forehead again, and he hurriedly denied it.

"Although I, Old Deng, am a rough man, I have always been a rough man in this life.

Live an upright life! I am innocent from the inside out! If you don’t believe it, I will have no choice but to crash into this furnace! If I am guilty, you can throw me in and burn me to ashes!”

"That's all! Let me ask you, did you see anyone suspicious at that time?" Wu Jingmo sighed and asked.

"No!" Old Deng replied without hesitation.

Within a few seconds, he suddenly slapped his head and jumped up, his eyes glowing green, and he said excitedly:

"Oh! There was a woman! She passed by the door of my shop and she looked at me! I was wondering what happened to the old man peeing in the street? It's not illegal! I peed against the wall next to my shop.

What’s there to see? Do you think this bitch has never seen a man?”

"Woman? What kind of woman?" Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo asked loudly in unison.

"She is small, wearing a veil, and her face cannot be seen clearly. She happened to pass by the door of my shop, and her little steps were quite fast! The smell was fragrant and warm! It was so exciting!"

The blacksmith who called himself Lao Dengtou recalled the scene of that day, and as he spoke, his smile gradually became obscene.

"Smell? What scent?" Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo quickly exchanged glances and asked in unison.

I still remember that this morning, the white horse fragrant carriage in the bamboo sea was also very fragrant!

"How do I know? I'm just a rough blacksmith! Sirs, I really can't answer this kind of question! It's not that I, Old Deng, don't want to cooperate! Why don't you go and ask around? On Yinghua Street

, there are so many women like this! I’ve long been used to it!”

Old Deng crossed his arms and hugged his shoulders, smiled helplessly, and glanced at the pretty women walking about in the street.

"Brother Jingmo, there are so many women on Yinghua Street, all dressed up and showing off, and they are all posing on the street. This is..."

Lu Chengfeng had a guess in his mind, but he was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

Before he could finish his words, the blacksmith hurriedly added:

"You need to ask? They are all prostitutes! Otherwise, why would I choose this place to open a shop? Not just for convenience and happiness! Little brother, I think you are still young, but you are still a boy, right? I will follow

You tell me, as soon as you get involved, you will understand what I am saying! This woman..."

"Shut up!" Lu

Chengfeng's face turned blue and white at what he said, so he hurriedly interrupted his words and walked out.

It is said that this brightly lit Yinghua Street is located on the bank of Yingshui River. It is a place where houses and brothels gather. Perhaps it is precisely because of these beautiful women that they attract a large number of visitors from all over the world and become the center of Beijing City.

The most prosperous and lively place.

Beauties from all over the world are continuously transported here, competing for beauty in each brothel. Brothels, large and small, are full of entertainment, singing and dancing all day long. They can be called the Dajing version of the "Qinhuai River".

Lu Chengfeng only found out later that the Tianxiang Building he accidentally broke into that day was one of the largest brothels on Yinghua Street. In one day, you can see thousands of different styles and styles.

When Lu Chengfeng recalled Tianxiang Tower, he always felt that there was a sense of déjà vu somewhere.

"I wonder if the smell in Lao Deng's mouth is the smell of the Baima Qixiang car that led us out of the city yesterday? Why do I always feel like I've smelled it somewhere?"

Lu Chengfeng said to himself.

"Little brother, you can't tell! I didn't expect you to be so enlightened at such a young age!"

The blacksmith glanced at Lu Chengfeng with a meaningful look, and said with a lewd smile.

Lu Chengfeng was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned to Wu Jingmo and said:

"The person who stole the knife is probably someone from a nearby brothel! This strange fragrance must be related to the nearby brothel! Maybe it is the incense commonly used in that brothel, or it is the rouge and gouache on the girls in the brothel.

Taste!"

"In that case, why don't we go to a few brothels now and have a look? See if there is any special fragrance there?"

Wu Jingmo nodded and suggested.

"It's just that there are dozens or hundreds of brothels, big and small, on Yinghua Street! With the strength of you and me, I'm afraid we won't be able to check them all today! Then which brothel should we check from?

What about the attack? If you don’t hit it right away, it will be easy to alert the enemy!”

Lu Chengfeng thought for a moment and then denied.

"Alas, my appointment document has not yet been officially issued! Otherwise, I will just go back to my hometown to recruit reinforcements! Otherwise, a temporary raid on Yinghua Street is nothing, when the whole city is searched and arrested overnight.

Done!"
Chapter completed!
