Chapter 186 Smell the fragrance and know people
Xiao Yunfan looked at all the thoughts of the sycamore tree and thought to himself: "Ali can't do martial arts, but she is naturally much more sensitive than ordinary people. Why was she kidnapped by someone but there was no trace of struggle? It's really strange. The fragrance on the beam seemed to be a kind of powdery fragrance. When I woke up Lanxiang just now, the powdery smell on her body seemed completely different from the powdery smell.
It seems that I need to go to the Rouge Shop that Lanxiang mentioned to find out. If you look for the clue of Rouge, you might get something." He turned around and asked the maid Lanxiang where the Rouge Shop was located. Lanxiang told him that Rouge Shop was at the first alley to the west of the street.
Xiao Yunfan went out of the brocade robe and headed west to the Rouge Shop. As expected, as Lan Xiang said, there was an apricot yellow trick hanging at the entrance of the western alley. Xiao Yunfan walked into the store and a handsome young man asked with a smile: "Customer, you want to buy rouge powder for the girl. I don't know which kind you want. There are seventeen kinds of rouge in this store, all of which are made by local fragrant powder masters."
As he said that, he picked up an exquisite incense powder box, opened it and handed it to Xiao Yunfan. After Xiao Yunfan sniffed the seventeen kinds of rouge one by one, he could not find the same odor as the one he had heard on the beam just now. He remembered that Lan Xiang had mentioned the disappearance of the daughter of the shopkeeper of the Rouge Shop. He asked, "Shopkeeper, I have a reluctant request, can you tell your shopkeeper of the missing daughter."
The young man was stunned at first, and then laughed loudly and said, "The guest officer is really good at joking." Xiao Yunfan said, "Why am I joking?" The young man said, "My shopkeeper married three houses, and they all gave birth to sons and none of them. If he had a daughter, he would naturally be the first to recruit me into a marriage. I'm afraid it would not be the guest officer. The guest heard the gossip from somewhere?"
Xiao Yunfan suddenly felt a deep heart and said, "No, I'm trapped." As he said that, he headed straight out of the Rouge Shop and headed towards Jinyixing. The young man shook his head and said, "This man is probably a madman." On the way back, a dark red sedan was walking from east to west. The person on the sedan lifted the curtain and looked at Xiao Yunfan's back as he walked away, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Xiao Yunfan was just rushing to the road and didn't care. When he returned to Jinyi's journey again, he saw two corpses lying in the yard. One was the shopkeeper and the other was the mate. However, the maid Lan Xiang disappeared.
He bent down and checked the cause of the shopkeeper's death. There was a red spot the size of a copper coin on his neck, and the same was true for the fatal wounds of the gang. Seeing the two of them die innocently, Xiao Yunfan was very sad and angry. Thinking of Ali's safety, he tried hard to calm down his emotions.
He reached out and took out the fire from his arms, lit up an oil lamp on the table in the wing room. He held the oil lamp in one hand and looked carefully in the room.
Suddenly he stepped on a bamboo stick under his feet, and a candied haw on it happened to be stomped by him. Xiao Yunfan glanced at the candied haws and suddenly understood in his heart. It turned out that the hawker selling candied haws was in the same group as Lan Xiang. They might have been eyeing them early in the morning. There was anesthetic hidden in the candied haws, otherwise when Ali was kidnapped, there must be water splashing out from the bathtub in the room due to struggle.
Suddenly his eyes fell in front of a cabinet. He had opened the cabinet before. There was nothing else except a few quilts, so it would be even more impossible to hide it. But at this time, a corner of the quilt was exposed in the gap between the cabinet door. It was obvious that someone was walking in a hurry and had to hide it before he could hide it. He opened the cabinet door and saw that several quilts slipped down and fell to the ground because of random stacking.
Xiao Yunfan threw the things in the cabinet to the ground, trying to find out what happened. He stretched out his two fingers and bounced it on the innermost wall of the cabinet. The wall immediately made a thumping sound. If the wall of the cabinet was firm, it would naturally be another sound.
The wall in front of him must have been strange. He reached out and pushed the wall. With a creaking sound, the wall turned to one side, revealing a door. Without thinking, he crawled into the door. Behind the door was a room. With the light of fire, he saw water stains on the ground. It was obvious that Lan Xiang, after seeing Ah Li fainted, hid her here with her companions who had hidden in the cabinet in advance.
At that time, when he and the shopkeeper entered the house, Ali was probably still behind the cabinet. The fragrance on the beam and the words of the orchid were entirely to lead himself to the Rouge Shop. Then they killed people and then kidnapped them.
The fire shone on a sack in the corner of the wall, and the sack was squirming and making a sound inside. Xiao Yunfan walked to the sack and untied his pocket. He saw a girl with disheveled hair inside, with a numb core in her mouth. She looked at her appearance as the maid Lan Xiang. From this point of view, the Lan Xiang he saw was naturally pretended to be someone.
The real Lanxiang couldn't help but tremble when she saw Xiao Yunfan's body. Xiao Yunfan reached out and pulled off the hemp core stuffed into her mouth, and then used a short sword to break the hemp rope tied to her. Lanxiang said tremblingly: "You...who are you?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Miss, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
Lan Xiang's eyes were still full of fear, and she seemed to not trust him. Xiao Yunfan thought that there were two more corpses in the yard at this time. If she was still here, she would be asked by the government. He took out some scattered silver from his arms and stuffed it into her hand and said, "Girl, your master was killed by the evil people. I think you should run away."
Lan Xiang was shocked when she heard this, and her face turned pale. She looked at Xiao Yunfan and asked, "Uncle, are you surnamed Xiao?" Xiao Yunfan nodded. Lan Xiang said, "Tie me and let me give you a word." Xiao Yunfan was stunned at first and said, "What are you saying?" Lan Xiang said, "You... At the moment, you are waiting for the elegant and elegant style of Wenxianglou Tianzi."
Xiao Yunfan said, "Miss, where is the Sinxiang Tower?" Lan Xiang said, "Go out of the gate and walk west, and the third intersection is at the entrance of the street." Xiao Yunfan bowed and said, "Thank you." Then he turned around and came out of the wardrobe again.
When he walked to the street, he thought to himself: "The other party is so determined that he must have been eyeing me early in the morning. I don't know what kind of tricks they set up to wait for me this time." He thought to himself: "I really don't know who has such a deep scheming? From the person who sold candied haws, then Lan Xiang's message, and the cabinet door that was deliberately left on the spot.
This plan is perfect, and it stole people just under my nose. It seems that I have to cheer up and deal with such a powerful opponent."
After a while, he came downstairs of Wenxiang Tower, and a sedan chair was parked in front of the building. Xiao Yunfan glanced at it and felt familiar. He didn't think much about it at the moment. When he stepped into the door, the hall on the first floor was empty. A woman with a white and tender skin and wearing a light green gauze dress smiled and said, "Xiao Daxiao, it's indeed punctual."
Xiao Yunfan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you tied up my little girl." The woman said, "Sir Xiao, please please, please, my master is waiting for you." As she said that, she moved her lotus steps lightly and walked to Xiao Yunfan, preparing to hold his arm. When she approached, the faint smell of rouge on her body was exactly what she smelled on the wooden beam.
Xiao Yunfan glanced at her and said coldly: "My man doesn't like this trick. I have my hands and feet, so I'd better go upstairs by myself." Seeing that he was so confused, the woman smiled and showed a shallow dimples. She said: "What a person I am the Great Hero of Xiao? It turns out that even I, a little girl, is afraid."
Xiao Yunfan climbed straight up the stairs and turned around and said, "It's a pity that you are a girl, otherwise I would have to punch you in the nose." The woman said, "Why?" Xiao Yunfan
He said, "Because you look so annoying when you smile." The woman seemed to be stung by a scorpion, her face was extremely embarrassed. She looked at Xiao Yunfan hatefully, wishing she could bite him on the throat.
Two women stood at the door of the Tianzi Privacy Room, covered with black cloaks and holding long swords in their hands. When they saw Xiao Yunfan coming, they said in unison: "Welcome to Hero Xiao." Xiao Yunfan nodded and walked into the Privacy Room. A woman in a goose yellow gauze dress sat in the Privacy Room. The woman's appearance was exactly the same as Bai Ruoxuan.
When Xiao Yunfan saw her, he snatched his mouth and said, "Miss Bai, why is it you?" The woman was stunned, looked at him, and stretched out her jade hand to show him to sit opposite him. Xiao Yunfan looked at her carefully again. The woman seemed not Bai Ruoxuan. There was a black mole the size of a rice grain under the right eye of the woman, and Bai Ruoxuan did not.
Four exquisite side dishes were placed in front of the square table and a crystal clear jade pot. Xiao Yunfan said, "You have caught my little girl, what is the purpose?" The woman looked at Xiao Yunfan and said, "It seems that Xiao Daxia has many confidants in the red. She is both a white girl and a green girl. Although I am wearing yellow clothes, my surname is not Huang."
Xiao Yunfan said, "Your Excellency hasn't seemed to have answered me yet, who are you?" The woman smiled and said, "The little woman is naturally the enemy of Daxia Xiao. But I will be your employer soon." Xiao Yunfan said, "If you want to hire me, I'm not a killer. Even if I am, you may not be able to afford the price I offer."
The woman lifted up the wine pot and poured a cup for Xiao Yunfan. Then she poured a cup for herself. She said softly: "Xiao Daxiao is really good at joking. I am the most afraid of blood, and I don't like killing people." Although her voice was gentle, it was extremely pleasant, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face.
Xiao Yunfan picked up the wine glass, and even looked at it, he opened his mouth to drink it. The woman asked, "Are you afraid that I will poison this wine?" Xiao Yunfan said, "I'm afraid. But if I don't drink the wine handed over by the beauty, it would be a big shame. What's more, if you ask me for something, you poison me to death, then who will do it for you?"
The woman raised her wine glass and sipped her mouth gently. Two red clouds immediately appeared on her face. Faced with the soft light in the private room, the color on her skin became more and more charming. The woman put down the wine glass and said slowly: "You are indeed a smart person, no wonder my master appreciates you very much."
Xiao Yunfan said: "If you told me this before, I would be particularly happy. But now, I don't like such compliments very much. If you are always praised, you will inevitably be proud. If a person is proud, it means that he is about to fall from a high place. At the worst, he may have to explain his life."
The woman said, "A person like Xiao Daxia will never have such a day. A smart person can only do the right thing, but how can a person who always does the right thing make a mistake?" As she said that, she raised the wine pot and poured a glass. At this time, the bell on her snow-white wrist rang.
Xiao Yunfan frowned and said, "Smart is just mistaken by being smart. If a person is too smart, there will be a lot of trouble chasing you and pestering you. As long as he is a human, he will inevitably make mistakes. Tonight, Xiao will fall into the hands of a girl, and it is similar to a fool." The woman smiled and said, "We designed Xiao Daxiao, and Xiao Daxiao is completely unprepared. If you take precautions, I am afraid that none of us can escape your eyes."
Xiao Yunfan picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He stared at the woman's face and said, "After saying this for a long time, I haven't asked about the girl's name yet, I don't know what the girl is going to hire me to do?" The woman said, "My name is Jinling, and it's just like the bell in my hand. As for what we want to do..."
