In the alley, Lin Baici leaned against the wall, listening to the old man introducing the missing beautiful women. His eyes scanned both sides of the alley from time to time to make sure no one was coming.

"Hero, I've told you everything I know, can you just let me go?"

The old man held up his hands and begged for mercy.

"Why do you know so much?"

Lin Baici squinted his eyes and looked at the old man, wondering if he was a valuable NPC and could he squeeze out more information?

"I don't have any other hobbies. I just like going to teahouses and listening to books. The more I go there, the more I will know!"

The old man took out a money bag from his arms. He originally planned to give Lin Baici a few taels of silver as a gift, but after thinking about it, he handed it to Lin Baici.

"A good man, I have never done any evil in my life. The long-term workers in my family have paid me enough wages, and they are not willing to give up and work like a donkey. If you kill me, several families who work with me to make a living will be ruined!"

The old man plays the emotional card.

Lin Baici had no intention of asking for the money bag. After hearing this and knowing that this was a rich man, he was not polite and took the money bag.

"If you dare to report the crime or tell anyone about what happened today, I will kill your whole family!"

Lin Baici threatened.

no way,

If he didn't threaten, he would have no choice but to kill and silence him. Although this was just an NPC, Lin Baici was too embarrassed to be ruthless.

"Hero, I..."

Before the old man could finish his words, Lin Baici struck him on the neck with a knife. He immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.

Lin Baici quickly left the alley.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Bai resigned and entered a teahouse. Among the gossips of the diners, he quickly figured out the recent major events in Shuntian Mansion, that is, those beautiful women dedicated to the emperor took a boat to go north, but they were all burned to death.

.

"Rules pollution must have something to do with this!"

Lin Baici is now considered an experienced veteran.

Among those beautiful girls, the most famous one is the daughter of Shen Caishen's family. She is beautiful, has an innocent background, and has a very famous father, so naturally she is a household name.

Lin Baici's first stop was the Shen family.

In fact, it is better to find the official in charge of the case, but Lin Baici is a commoner. In ancient times, wanting to meet a high-ranking official was like going to heaven.

It can also be seen from the nickname Shen Caishen that he is definitely a famous person from all over the world.

Lin Baici randomly found a street vendor selling cooking cakes, asked for directions, and found out where Shen Caishen's home was.

Half an hour later, Lin Baici found the Shen family.

Because he did not have a reasonable identity, Lin Baici could not visit him directly, so he simply walked to the back alley and climbed over the wall.

Perhaps it was because the eldest lady was dead. When Lin Baici saw the servants, they all had solemn expressions on their faces. He must have been afraid that he might accidentally offend Master Shen and have him find an excuse to punish him.

This is a Jiangnan garden-style building, quite big, and Lin Baici actually got a little lost.

And to be honest, it’s a bit difficult to find someone you’ve never met before in such a big place.

But a quarter of an hour later, Lin Baici actually heard a familiar voice.

"Red medicine?"

Lin Baici followed the voice and saw Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu talking to a middle-aged man with a goatee in a main hall.

"..."

Lin Baici was a little surprised. Gao Ponytail and Gu Qingqiu were actually wearing black official uniforms. They looked like they were police officers?

By the way, aren't you guys growing a little fast?

Lin Baici felt that now that he had found Shen Wansan's family, his actions were no longer slow, but these two were even wearing detective clothes.

This is obviously a door-to-door inspection.

Lin Baici didn't have to worry anymore. With Gu Qingqiu's IQ, he came forward in person. He didn't have to worry about her missing some details.

Due to Gu Qingqiu's poor health in his early years, Big Bear Brother is actually not big and has a relatively slim figure. After putting on the police uniform, he has a neutral beauty with red lips and white teeth.

Xia Hongyao is different. Her bear is really eye-catching. She doesn't wear the official uniform in a majestic way at all, but it looks like a COS game between lovers.

Lin Baici looked at it for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he quietly retreated.

…

Mr. Shen served tea to see off the guests.

Not only did he ask the butler to send Gu Qingqiu and Xia Hongyao out, he also went ahead and gave each of them a one hundred tael silver note.

"Do you think the arson case was related to him?"

Xia Hongyao stood on the street, looking at the door of Shen's house, folding her arms and carefully recalling every detail after entering his house.

"His answers are impeccable, and a self-made man like this has a very tough mind and top-notch acting skills. You can't even think of seeing any flaws in his emotions!"

Gu Qingqiu recalled the conversation between the two parties: "But just because it was so perfect, it gave me the feeling that he must know some hidden secrets!"

"It's a pity that Xiao Linzi is not here, otherwise he might be able to see something?"

Xia Hongyao turned around and looked around: "Where should we go next?"

"Continue the investigation?"

"No!"

Gu Qingqiu walked to the street: "Wait for the alumni to come!"

With Lin Baici's IQ, he would find this place soon.

Gu Qingqiu and Xia Hongyao crossed the threshold. When their vision returned, they saw a policeman hanging himself. After rescuing him, they learned about the death of a beautiful girl from his mouth.

Then Gu Qingqiu proposed to help him solve the case.

The police officer was overjoyed, because if he couldn't solve the case, losing his official position would be a minor matter, and he would be sent to prison, so he was grasping at straws and asked Gu Qingqiu to help.

Phew! Phew!

Lin Baici whistled several times.

Xia Hongyao's ears twitched and she looked overjoyed: "Xiao Linzi is here!"

"Walk!"

Three minutes later, the two sides met in an alley.

"Where are Xiaoyu and Yingzhen?"

Lin Baici was worried.

"have no idea!"

When Xia Hongyao heard this, she also became nervous.

Hua Yueyu and the others are too weak. If they act on their own, the risk of death is very high.

“You can find a group of beggars and put up notices, or you can hold up a wooden sign and walk around the streets, shouting to gather somewhere!

Gu Qingqiu immediately came up with an idea and comforted Lin Baici: "Don't worry, they are not stupid, they should hide now!"

"Um!"

Finding someone is actually not difficult, but Lin Baici is even more worried about another thing: "The biggest question now is, did this rule pollution break out accidentally, or did someone take action against the Kowloon Club?"

"Or are those people targeting me and Hongyao?"

Lin Baici and Gao Ponytail should be a thorn in the eyes of some people, or prey. They usually live in Haijing. If others want to touch them, they have no chance. Now that they have gone abroad, when the opportunity comes, they will naturally want to do something.

ticket.

"I hope it's the latter, that would be interesting!"

Gu Qingqiu didn't panic at all.

“Shall we purify the pollution in front of us first?”

Xia Hongyao thought seriously: "What to do next? Go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to investigate?"

"Alumni, what do you think?"

Gu Qingqiu looked at Lin Baici.

"Tie up Shen Caishen and torture him!"

Lin Baici's voice was cold.

"ah?"

Xia Hongyao was stunned: "No, is it okay to do this?"

"Why not?"

Lin Baici asked back.

"According to the plot in the detective novel, we should investigate the places where the show girls live and the people they usually come into contact with, collect clues, and then peel off the cocoons to find the truth of the case!"

Xia Hongyao has not forgotten her detective game.

"That is a work for people to read, and the main selling point is reasoning. If you solve the problem through violence, what else do readers want to read?"

Gu Qingqiu smiled slightly, her plan was actually the same as Lin Baici's.

"Yes!"
