After a while, Lin Yiqiu's smile became even wider.
"You don't have to catch so many. It's actually very simple to make a judgment."
"Hmph, go ahead and brag! Can you really tell who the owner of this letter is from thin air?"
Of course they didn't believe it.
Lin Yiqiu said calmly: "Of course I can't directly tell who it is, but it's easy to narrow down the scope of arresting people."
"This letter is Yunxuan paper from the capital. It can only be found in Tingshuxuan on the north side of the capital!"
"What does this mean?"
the two asked.
Lin Yiqiu was too lazy to look at them and said to Canghong: "Yun Xuan paper is only circulated within the capital and is very expensive, so the people who can buy this paper must be in the capital!"
"And this letter also has a scent of vulgar powder, which is a unique scent that only women in brothels have."
"Although the ink on the paper has long dried, when this kind of ink comes into contact with cloud rice paper, it will generally fade away after a month, but it doesn't happen here!"
Holding the letter, Lin Yiqiu began to analyze it carefully.
Cang Hong thought while listening, and soon grasped the key point.
"Therefore, the person who wrote this letter often deals with the fragrance of vulgar powder, and he only arrived in the capital within a month!"
"That's right! That's it!"
Lin Yiqiu said with a smile.
He thought that Cang Hong's IQ was almost catching up with his own, much higher than the two fools next to him.
"The fragrance of vulgar powder will arrive in the capital within a month, is it true?"
Cang Hong was suddenly startled.
Lin Yiqiu patted him on the shoulder.
"Yes, brothel!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the women outside and asked, "Have you, sir, been to a brothel in the past few days?"
"Ah? Brothel?"
It's really embarrassing to ask this in front of other people's wives and concubines.
But at this time, in order to investigate the case, Lin Yiqiu naturally could not control so much.
But after a while, the women all shook their heads and said: "Our master has always been a decent man, and has never been to a brothel or anything like that."
"Yeah, why are we going to a brothel when there are just a few of us?"
"That's really strange. I've never been to a brothel, and no suspicious people have come recently. So how did this letter get into his hands?"
Lin Yiqiu frowned, wondering if his guess was wrong.
At this time, an old housekeeper below suddenly coughed slightly and said: "That... that sir, our master... he actually often goes to brothels."
"What?"
One sentence made the madam and the concubine all open their eyes.
His expression was very expressive, obviously he couldn't believe it!
Then, the old housekeeper continued: "I usually use the excuse of going out for business to go to the brothel."
"Sometimes I come back late. In order to avoid the ladies becoming suspicious, I will notify the old slave in advance to open the small door."
"This matter has actually happened for many years. It's just that the ladies don't know about it. Those of us who are servants are not surprised at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of servants all nodded.
Seeing this situation, the lady and the concubine were obviously a little angry!
"Okay! Okay! You guys colluded with that unfaithful thief! You actually hid it from us for so long!"
"I'm so sad! I'm really sad!"
Then, uh, there were bursts of crying and shouting again in the house!
Lin Yiqiu could only shrug helplessly.
I really don’t blame him. Everything was done to investigate the case. Do you know that this person will die in society after he dies?
Then, he seemed to look at the body of the Minister of Rites on the ground with some joy.
"It's a good thing you went. Otherwise, one day when the incident happened, your death would be worse than hanging."
Lin Yiqiu thought to himself, then waved his hand.
"Okay, don't cry. Death is the most important thing, so why bother with this?"
"Which brothel does your master often go to? Have you ever been there with your master?"
At present, it seems that the old housekeeper is undoubtedly the person who knows the most. Of course, Lin Yiqiu has to keep asking him.
The old butler lowered his head and said: "Sir, I have never been in. I am just a servant."
"The place I often go to is Xiangyue Tower, which is the brothel that opened in the capital not long ago."
"Xiangyue Tower?"
Lin Yiqiu was startled.
This place is really familiar to him.
But having said that, among the brothels in the capital, which one is he unfamiliar with?
But the difference between Xiangyue Tower and other brothels is that Lin Yiqiu had a heart-to-heart relationship with a woman there.
Miss Ruyan, I haven’t seen you for a long time.
Lin Yiqiu thought to himself.
Ever since he went to Wu State, came back, and experienced what happened in Shiye City, he had almost forgotten this place and the people in it.
But now, in order to investigate the case, it seems that I have to go there.
"Should I take people over now and conduct a thorough search?"
Cang Hong immediately said sternly.
Lin Yiqiu shook his head and said: "No, that would be too alarming. Besides, now that the Minister of Rites is dead, who can be sure whether the person who wrote the letter is still in the capital or not?"
"Let's come here today. I'll go there with you tomorrow. We'll know if there are any problems then."
With that said, Lin Yiqiu greeted Cang Hong, didn't wait long, and left the mansion.
It was already dark, and Lin Yiqiu was still hungry. Besides, he really had no intention of continuing to investigate the case now.
When Cang Hong saw that the person had left, he didn't stay any longer. He gave a few instructions and asked someone to take care of the scene, and then left with the person.
In the end, only Zhao Ting and Yan Liben were left in the mansion.
"This Lin Yiqiu seems to have something really good, right?"
Zhao Ting frowned and said.
When Yan Liben heard this, he was still disdainful.
"I can also deduce this information. What's the big deal?"
"Hey, if this continues, we won't have any chance to make a difference. We have to strike first!"
Zhao Ting was a little impatient.
He currently holds the position of head of the household department. If he can make great contributions, he will surely rise!
By then, being the deputy minister of household affairs will definitely be profitable!
After Yan Liben heard this, he was naturally moved.
The two of them no longer hesitated, left the mansion, and quickly led people towards Xiangyue Tower!
But for Lin Yiqiu, the actions of the two of them were actually under control.
Lin Yiqiu deliberately let them hear his inference. He also expected that they would be impatient and took the lead to take people to Xiangyue Tower to check.
That's fine, it doesn't take much effort on my part, and if I really find out something, I won't have to go there myself!
Lin Yiqiu is not lazy, but he really doesn't want to go out right now.
Wei Wanqiu at home is still pregnant. If Lin Yiqiu goes to the brothel again, he will feel that he is not a human being, so he doesn't let others go.
However, when I got home and told Wei Wanqiu the matter as a joke, Wei Wanqiu was very generous after hearing it!
"It's okay, just go ahead! I'm not a petty woman!"
"Ah? You encourage me to go to a brothel?"
Lin Yiqiu was completely embarrassed on the spot. This chapter has been completed!
