This brothel store is not big, but the inside is more complicated than they imagined. The first floor is equipped with tables and chairs for eating, and the second floor is a semi-covered private room. The third floor is a guest room, which is relatively larger than the first two.
Every floor was too clean. When I got to the fourth floor, I saw only two doors. There was no one else at the door, so the girl might have entered the room.
"Didn't you say there are three rooms?" Xie Zhe asked.
"There are three. There are two rooms for the oiran, and the second door is inside the room."
"Really, do you really want to go in..."
Ye Lingyu's voice became weaker and weaker. She had never been to a place like this before, not to mention that Han Sheng had never left the dead person even half a word, and she really couldn't be brave enough. Standing at the door, Xie Zhe confirmed again:
"Before entering the store, you said there was the smell of a corpse. We didn't stay here long, and you said the smell disappeared. So is there a possibility that a murder did occur, but the body has been moved?"
Han Chang shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. Don't forget, I said that the person has been dead for a while. Although I can't judge the more specific time, the corpse smell does exist, and it is definitely not the hot smell of fresh death.
That kind of thing. Even if the body is taken away, I can still track where it went. But disappearing into thin air is definitely not a normal thing."
"Could it be some kind of trap, specially designed to lure Onmyoji to come... You can see that the old mother's reaction is also very abnormal, as if she has colluded..."
Ling Hu's guess is a possibility, but relatively speaking it is a bit outrageous. After all, it is a lively area, and it is unlikely that such a thing will happen in broad daylight.
"Not sure. But, didn't Zhongli smell any strange aura?"
"How is that possible? If it is true, I can't say anything to you if you mind your own business."
"But……"
"But what?"
"When I saw that woman, I felt that she -"
"Aren't you going to say that she looks like a human but not a human? Although she is a human, she has the temperament of a monster. Can you try again? I think you are crazy. Why don't I give you a monster mirror?
, so that you can take good care of everyone who thinks there is a problem."
"...This feeling cannot be solved by looking at the demon mirror."
Yes, Han Zhang knows him very well. It feels like this guy hasn’t said a decent word since he left Feiyue City. At this moment, a woman’s cough came from a room. They immediately closed the door.
He didn't know how much these words were heard. The three of them took a deep breath in unison, and then Han Chang stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door where the coughing sound came from.
"Come in." It was the voice of the oiran.
Han Sheng pushed lightly, and the door opened. He and Xie Zhe walked in, and Ling Huan hesitated for a while before following. The door suddenly closed on its own. She was startled, and turned around to find that there was a sign on the door.
There is a rope connected to the pedal that can be closed automatically. She sighed softly
He breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded himself not to scare himself. As soon as the door was closed, two maids appeared on the left and right. They bowed their heads slightly and showed no expression on their faces. The oiran waved his hand and said to leave, and they
They bowed in unison, turned around and went out.
After a while, the oiran changed her clothes, or maybe took off the cumbersome coat. Now she only wore a light gauze dress, with a cool color, not so charming but obviously she had ulterior motives. The windows were almost all closed.
Closed, only open
The two windows were blocked with warm red gauze to make the dim light coming in a little more charming. Even though it was broad daylight, a few candles were lit to illuminate the room. The incense gave off a soft floral fragrance that circulated in the room.
Lingering, as if holding a feather to seduce people's hearts.
"Let's get straight to the point: What is your background?"
Han Shang was quite straightforward, without any fancy tricks unique to vixens, such as a hard-to-get game of back and forth. It is estimated that if Ye Linghua hadn't been present, he could have made some opening remarks that were not suitable for children. But at this moment, he
Don't want to waste time.
"Young master, you are really impatient. Don't call me by your stage name. My surname is Tao. You can just call me Miss Tao. I haven't asked you yet, what should I call you?"
"That's not necessary." Xie Zhe said coldly, "We suspect that there is a corpse hidden in your house."
"Corpse?"
Miss Tao flicked the scented handkerchief, showing a little surprise. Then she frowned slightly and said with a smile:
"Oh, I'm a timid person, and I can't stand your intimidation. If you just want to search this house, you can just say so. My little girl never hesitates to show the boudoir to good-looking young men. Yeah, so do beautiful girls.
No exception——"
After saying that, her eyes swept over Ye Linghua's face. She couldn't help but straighten her back and felt a shudder. Logically speaking, this girl had pretty features, but there was a weird sharpness between her eyebrows. It didn't mean that she was fierce.
, but gives people a... very special feeling. Like
In her own territory, the female animal faces all invading enemies with an offensive attitude. But such enemies are only of the same sex. In the eyes of the opposite sex, this is a silent invitation and invisible charm. Little does anyone know that they are awake.
When I came over, I had already fallen into the net woven by Qiluo.
Fortunately, the two people remained calm. At this moment, confusion flashed across Miss Tao's face for a moment.
"Your tricks are useless. I have practiced meditation in the temple, but you can't touch me at all."
Xie Zhe's eyes were still so sharp that Han Shan and Ling Huan didn't understand what was going on. Miss Tao also opened her eyes slightly and said innocently:
"Hey, what's the matter? I didn't do anything. I haven't had time to use all those tricks to make the guests happy."
"You seem to have done nothing, indeed. You have cast something that I can't see through, but the only thing I can be sure of is that you did do something. It's useless to him, in front of this old thing.
, you are just playing tricks on your class."
Miss Tao leaned against the window and looked at Xie Zhe and Han Shang thoughtfully.
"...Who are you talking about, old guy?" Han Chang glared at him, "But I didn't see anything."
"I guess it's a spell to confuse ordinary men."
"Oh, then I really don't feel anything." Han Shang turned to look at Miss Tao and continued, "There is no need to search your room, there is no problem. But the incense contains camphor. I guess this is not a simple room.
The boudoir...but a secret room for murder."
Ye Lingquan was really frightened. She began to feel that following these two people was a wrong decision. Although it was just a coincidence that they started to go together, the decision was natural and not even hasty. But these two people can
They are too trouble-making, and although they don't get along very well with each other, they never fail to do dangerous things and never say dangerous words.
"Young master, you have also seen that there are silk gauze curtains hanging everywhere in my boudoir. If I don't add some camphor and get wet, I will be eaten by insects. Besides, camphor can clear the body and relieve stagnation, so it can be added to aromatherapy.
Don’t you have anything to say? Please don’t taint my innocence.”
Miss Tao was neither anxious nor annoyed. Even though she was told this, she remained calm and composed. She took off the hairpin on her head, smoothed her long black hair like a waterfall, and combed it leisurely with a sandalwood comb.
, very comfortable. She didn’t want to clarify anything,
It was indeed a bit suspicious, but what he said was correct. Xie Zhe actually felt that it was a bit far-fetched for Han Shangs suspicion to start from this point. All this was based on the fact that he really smelled the smell of death, and camphor really needed to be used to dispel it.
On its premise.
"There is no one in your room, there is someone next door." Han Chang raised his hand and pointed at the door with his thumb, "Right now, there is another person at the opposite door, a male. I don't know if he is your guest. Anyway, since we came here
He hasn't moved much since he went upstairs. There is an empty room in your room, and I don't know where the secret door is. There must have been a body stranded there, and it must have been dead for a long time."
Miss Tao took a deep breath and put down her comb. She walked slowly between the three of them and circled around everyone. Because the three of them were close to each other, in order to prevent her from touching anyone, they all
They moved a little further away from each other. Ye Linghua stood upright, not daring to say a word from just now. Miss Tao spent the least time with her, which was enough for her to drink a pot. Linghua felt like
A prisoner was being interrogated as if he were with his accomplices.
She didn't stay too long by Xie Zhe's side, but she looked him up and down. She was convinced that this man's outfit was not the material for visiting a brothel - but she could draw the conclusion from the moment she saw him.
He had some small and dangerous magic weapons on his body. He must be an Onmyoji. Miss Tao could feel it, but she didn't seem to feel much, as if she was confident that all of Xie Zhe's methods could not do anything to her.
Only at Han Zhang's place did she examine him for the longest time. She circled him three times until Han Zhang stretched out his hand and stopped her from walking past him for the fourth time. He said unceremoniously:
"Come on, where are you? What kind of trick do you want to play? Just tell me."
"You are really impatient. Although I am a prostitute, with my current status, I also have the right to choose guests carefully. However, you hid it so well that I almost didn't notice it. Alas, it's no wonder that my trick didn't work on you.
——You are a real vixen. Pfft."
After Miss Tao said this, she laughed out loud, and her last chuckle was quite provocative.
Han Chang frowned and smiled. But it was obvious that he was a little angry.
It's not that he can't accept this level of provocation, it's just that Han Chang didn't expect that his identity could be seen through by a little human girl. Maybe Xie Zhe was right, they underestimated her from the beginning.
"Who are you?"
"——The person who wants your life."
She suddenly grinned and laughed loudly. As soon as she finished speaking, an illusion suddenly opened behind her, quickly spreading to every corner of the room, and emitting a strange fragrance. The overwhelming oleander trees were in full bloom.
Red is like fire, pink is like crystal, white is better than snow.
