The Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building is divided into different levels of consumption areas according to the height of the floors.
The second floor is the lowest, and the sixth floor is the highest. The hall on the first floor is not included because cocktail parties and poetry gatherings are often held.
The beauty and talent of the prostitutes on each floor naturally rise with the price.
But even on the second floor, which is the cheapest, the prostitutes here are much better than other brothels in terms of beauty and talent.
In an elegant room on the second floor, Boss Xue, who was wearing a brocade robe and looked as plump as a rich man, sat opposite his most capable subordinate Li Mi.
The two were discussing important matters at this time, so they did not ask Fengchen Nu to accompany them.
"Brother, this is totally weird."
Li Mi took a sip of wine and said thoughtfully.
"It's really weird. It caused an uproar and panic. No one was arrested or reported. Instead, they started extortion. Are we the thieves or are they the thieves? Now all the brothers below dare not go out to work.
, the buyer is pressing hard. Alas, it’s hard to do business these days.”
Boss Xue drank all the wine in his glass and sighed with a sad look on his face.
The two of them were talking about today's arrest of the human trafficking gangs in the four cities by the Anti-Immortal Division.
"Brother, I have a guess, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"If you fart, let it go."
"My little brother feels that Ji Xian Si's move is sending a secret signal."
"Secret code, what's the code? We are thieves and they are officials. What's the code between thieves and officials?"
"Brother, we are a family of officials and thieves. Although their status is not the same, their purpose is the same. They are all seeking money."
"Hiss~"
Boss Xue seemed to have some understanding after hearing the words and pondered for a long time.
"You mean that guy named Rong wants to get involved?"
Li Mi nodded and was about to explain in detail why he made this guess when a woman's scream suddenly came from outside.
"what happened?"
Boss Xue immediately stood up nervously, and touched the short blade hidden in the boot with his fat and stubby palm.
But then he remembered that this was the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building. The reason why he chose to meet Li Mi here was because it was one of the safest places in Kyoto.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough money to spend here.
Li Mi was much calmer, and made a calm gesture to Boss Xue, then walked lightly to the door, opened a gap and looked outside.
"There seems to be a death in the room opposite."
"Oh, let's go take a look."
When Boss Xue heard this, he immediately became interested. It was a rare thing that someone could die in the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building. He had to go and watch.
In the corner of the lobby on the first floor, Rong Fei looked in the direction of the woman's scream and saw many people gathered on the veranda on the second floor opposite.
"Hey, there's so much fun to watch, you can't miss this."
Bai Zizai looked excited, grabbed the wine bottle on the table and stuffed it into his sleeve, then ran towards the stairs leading to the second floor. After running a few steps, he turned back and asked Rongfei.
"Brother Cui, aren't you going to watch the excitement?"
"Brother Bai, you can go on your own, I don't..."
"Oh, it's so lively. Of course, the more people watching, the more interesting it will be. Let's do it together."
Before Rong Fei could finish his words of rejection, Bai Zizai grabbed Rong Fei's arm and ran with him towards the stairs.
This Bai Zizai seemed to be similar in height and build to Rong Fei, but his strength was much greater. Rong Fei really couldn't defeat him without using his spiritual power.
The ongoing poetry meeting in the hall on the first floor has also been suspended at this time. However, due to their status and bearing, the scholars did not rush forward as anxiously as Bai Zizai. They just stood up and looked up to the second floor.
But even so, the verandah on the second floor was already crowded with people watching the excitement.
Seeing so many people crowded on the suspended wooden verandah, Rong Fei frowned.
It's too dangerous. If the verandah collapses, there will probably be deaths and injuries.
countless.
Bai Zizai was not as worried as Rong Fei. Like a god of war charging into battle, Bai Zizai fought his way through the crowd and led Rong Fei to the door of the room where the accident occurred.
As soon as he stood in front of the door, Rong Fei smelled the pungent smell of blood.
The door to the room was open, snacks and broken porcelain plates were scattered on the floor at the door, and blood stains spread from the room.
Rong Fei followed the blood stains and looked into the room, but was blocked by a group of people.
There were more than a dozen people standing in the room, one of whom was the steward of Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building, two tall and strong thugs and a trembling, pale-faced maid. Judging from their clothes, the remaining people should be here.
The turtle man.
"I was originally going to deliver snacks to Sister Chuntao's room next door, but when I passed the door, my foot slipped and I spilled the snacks. Then I saw blood flowing out from under the door.
I was a little scared, so I knocked on the door and called Miss Chunxiang in a low voice several times. After waiting for a while, no one answered in the room, so I looked through the crack in the door, but there was no candle in the room, and everything was dark.
There was no sound, and there was no sound. I remembered that Sister Chunxiang had guests here, so I thought it was strange, so I opened the door a little more, and then I saw someone lying on the ground.
I thought it was Sister Chunxiang who was playing with the guests... It was too much, so I fainted, so I thought about coming in to help me, but as soon as I opened the door, I heard Sister Chunxiang shouting, which even startled me. Wait for me
After lighting the candle, I saw Chunxiang-sensei covered in blood sitting here with a knife..."
Rong Fei heard the maid speaking in a trembling voice.
After listening to the maid's story, the steward nodded and waved to signal the thugs and the Turtle to disperse.
Rong Fei finally saw the murder scene.
A neatly dressed male corpse lay on the floor in the center of the house. There was obvious damage to the heart of the corpse, the clothes on the chest were soaked with blood, and there were large pools of blood under the corpse.
A woman covered in blood sat next to the corpse, her eyes dull and muttering something. The woman held a dagger in her left hand and rested her right hand on the floor.
After taking a look at the woman's condition, and then at the corpse beside him, Rong Fei showed doubts on his face.
The steward winked at the thug next to him, and the thug tried to snatch the dagger from the woman's hand. But when the thug's hand touched the woman's finger, the woman suddenly screamed, and started swinging the dagger in both hands, saying "
Shouted in a hissing voice.
"Don't come here...don't come here...don't come here..."
Facing the sharp dagger, the thug did not dare to step forward for fear of being injured by this crazy woman.
"waste!"
Upon seeing this, the steward angrily scolded the thug, then picked up a low stool and threw it at the woman holding the knife.
"ah!"
The low stool hit the woman's forehead. The woman screamed and fainted, and the dagger fell to the ground.
"It's tied up."
The steward patted the non-existent dust on his hands and ordered the two thugs in a deep voice.
"Manager Liu, do you want to report to the official?"
A turtle man in his early thirties came up to ask for instructions.
"Fuck you, when will it be the government's turn to take care of the affairs of our Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building?"
Manager Liu was in a bad mood and angrily slapped Mr. Turtle in the face and cursed.
Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building has been in business for many years. It is common for customers to play with Fengchennv to death, but this is the first time that Fengchennv stabs a customer to death. If this matter spreads, I am afraid it will have a great impact on the business.
It's okay if the business is affected. I'm just a manager. No matter how good or bad the business is, I only get so much salary every month. But I am on duty today. If my boss holds me responsible, I will still suffer.
Turning his head and looking at the crowd of guests outside the room, Manager Liu became even more angry and shouted at Mr. Turtle.
"What are you still doing? Close the door."
"Oh oh oh..."
Turtle Gong, who had just been slapped, responded repeatedly and was about to close the door.
At this time, several turtles also crowded up on the verandah.
Disperse the busy guests with a smiling face.
Seeing that the prostitute had been tied up with a hemp rope by the thugs, Manager Liu shouted angrily.
"Kill to pay for life, lock this *** in the woodshed, deprive him of food and drink, and starve to death."
Rong Fei changed his identity and came here today to track down clues about the missing persons case. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business. But what Manager Liu just said, "When will it be the government's turn to take care of the Jinfeng Xiaoyu Building?" sounded strange to Rong Fei.
of harshness.
And looking at the current situation, it is obvious that the prostitute is regarded as the murderer and is going to be lynched.
It is not Rongfei's character to refuse to save others. It is Rongfei's responsibility to maintain the dignity of the industry. There is no reason to continue to stand by and watch, both publicly and privately.
He pushed away Mr. Turtle who was coming to close the door, walked into the room, pointed at the tied up Feng Chennu and said.
"She is not a murderer."
Manager Liu turned his head when he heard the sound, and first glared fiercely at Mr. Turtle, who was unable to close the door, and then looked Rong Fei up and down. He was dressed like a human, but his sophisticated eyes could tell at a glance what Rong Fei was wearing.
The clothes were of ordinary fabric and cut, and there were no jade or other accessories around his waist. He was probably not a son of a powerful person. He squinted his eyes and said coldly.
"Who are you? Don't you know where this place is? If you are nosy, get out!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to push Rong Fei.
Rong Fei stepped aside and avoided Manager Liu's palm. Just when he was hesitating whether to reveal his identity and intervene in the matter, Manager Liu pointed behind Rong Fei and shouted.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Bai Zizai, I'm with Brother Cui."
Rong Fei turned around and saw Bai Zi following in with excitement.
This guy can really join in the fun.
"Damn it, why are you so evil today? One, two or three of them are all hysterical. What are you doing in a daze? Drive these two guys out."
Manager Liu was so angry that his face turned green, and he ordered the thugs and Mr. Turtle in the room to chase him away.
Bai Zizai suddenly took two quick steps to stand in front of Manager Liu, frightening Manager Liu so much that he was about to retreat when Bai Zizai grabbed his arm and stopped him from moving.
"Shh, keep your voice down. What is this?"
Bai Zizai whispered to Manager Liu, then shook his sleeves, revealing a bronze medal in his hand.
Manager Liu's expression changed when he saw the bronze medal, and he murmured.
"Ji...xian...si."
"Hey, you read it right, you're so smart!"
Bai Zizai patted Manager Liu's face and praised him.
The distance between the two was very close, and their voices were very low during the conversation. Even the thugs and Mr. Turtle in the room couldn't see what Bai Zizai was holding, and couldn't hear clearly what the two were talking about.
But Rongfei saw it clearly and heard it clearly.
How could Bai Zizai have the token of Jixian Division?
Rong Fei was a little stunned at first, but then he immediately realized something and reached out to touch his waist. Sure enough, he found nothing. The token he borrowed from Li Jun was gone.
Because identity checks were required when entering and exiting the city, Rong Fei did not put the bronze medal into a jade storage ring, but stuffed it into his belt for easy access.
But I don't know when it was stolen by Bai Zizai, and he blatantly took it out in front of me to pretend to be an agent of the Jixian Division. What on earth did this guy want to do?
Manager Liu, who had an angry look on his face just now, suddenly changed his expression when he saw the Jixian Division bronze medal, and he handed it over with a flattering smile.
"It turns out to be the master of the Ji Xian Division. I'm so young, but I'm just blind and my words are rude. I hope you can forgive me."
The detectives of the Ji Xian Division have a rank, which is naturally different from the police officers of other yamen. They are officials, not officials. It is not an exaggeration to call them "sir". But in the past, the Ji Xian Division was a doormat, so no one would call him "sir".
The problem is taken seriously. However, the current Jixian Division is no longer what it used to be. Even Dadong's Chang Yanei has to take the initiative to come to reconcile. How can he, a small manager, offend?
"A murder has occurred here. As detectives from the Immortal Detective Division, are we qualified to take care of it?"
Jae-young
Under Fei's gaze, Bai Zizai stuffed the stolen token into his arms very naturally and asked Manager Liu with a smile.
"Yes, yes, of course."
Manager Liu nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Hehehe, that's right. Brother Cui, please start your performance."
Bai Zizai made a gesture of invitation.
Rong Fei glanced at him and thought to himself that he would settle the score with you after finishing the matter here, and then pointed at the tied up woman and said.
"Untie."
"Are you deaf? Sir, let Sister Chunxiang loosen her bonds. Go the hell away."
Manager Liu kicked the thug in the butt and yelled angrily.
Outside the room, the turtle masters' dissuasion had no effect, and the verandah was still crowded with guests watching the fun.
Murong Qiushui and Rong Lan also squeezed into the crowd and looked inside.
"Why is Bai Zizai here? When did he become a member of the Ji Xian Division?"
Murong Qiushui muttered strangely.
Murong Qiu Shui recognized Bai Zi Zai as soon as he squeezed into the room. When Bai Zi Zai turned his back to the door and muttered to Manager Liu, Murong Qiu Shui channeled his spiritual power to his ears and listened to their conversation one by one.
Clearly.
"Does sister know that person?"
Rong Lan beside him turned his head and asked.
"I've met him a few times but I don't know him well. He's an annoying guy."
Murong Qiushui responded in a bad tone.
At the other end of the crowd, Zhu Leyao and Liu Yingrong were also looking into the room with their feet raised.
It was the first time for the two girls to encounter a murder case, and they were both curious and scared. Fortunately, there were enough people around and their yang energy was strong enough, so they dared to look inside.
When she saw the bloody Feng Chennu and her body, Zhu Leyao was so frightened that she put her head into Liu Yingrong's arms.
The murder scene was so horrific. How could that woman, who looked so weak and weak, be so heartless and do such a cruel thing?
The bloody scenes kept flashing in Zhu Leyao's mind, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not erase them.
The more Zhu Leyao thought about it, the more frightened she became. Her chest and abdomen were turbulent, and she was so disgusted that she might vomit at any time. Just as she was about to ask Liu Yingrong to take her away from such a terrible place, she heard a man's voice say.
"She is not a murderer!"
Huh?
Isn't that prostitute a murderer?
How is that possible? According to what I have read in the storybook, both the person and the person gained the stolen goods... No, no, it should be the witness and the material evidence.
There was only the prostitute and the body in the room. The prostitute was stained with blood and had a knife in her hand. Of course she was the murderer.
At this time, Zhu Leyao's attention was attracted by the speaker, and she suddenly felt less scared and less disgusted. She raised her head and glanced at Liu Yingrong first.
Liu Yingrong's expression did not change at all, she just looked at the two young men in the room with interest.
Zhu Leyao secretly thought in her heart that she was worthy of being the arrogant Sister Liu, and she should learn more from her.
After thinking about it, I took a deep breath and stood on tiptoes again to look into the room.
Manager Liu directed the thugs to untie Chunxiang, while Rong Fei took advantage of this time to inspect the body.
After the hemp rope binding Chunxiang was untied, Rongfei asked someone to bring a basin of cold water, found a silk handkerchief, wetted it with water and covered Chunxiang's forehead.
Under the stimulation of the cold water, Chunxiang, who had fainted after having her forehead broken, softly moaned and woke up.
After waking up, he first looked around confusedly, and finally his eyes fell on the corpse. He screamed, his eyes turned white, and he was about to faint again.
Rong Fei quickly came over and pressed his chest against Chunxiang's thin shoulders to prevent her from falling. He patted her back with his left hand and wiped her cheek with a water-soaked silk handkerchief in his right hand while speaking warmly.
"It's okay, it's okay, no one will hurt you as long as I'm here."
"Blood...a lot of blood...killed people...don't kill me...I didn't kill anyone...don't kill me...wuwuwu..."
Chunxiang grabbed Rong Fei's hand and held it tightly.
He was crying and talking nonsense.
"I believe you didn't kill anyone, and no one will hurt you. Don't worry, I will protect you. Now listen to me, do as I say, take a deep breath... Yes, that's it, and exhale slowly
…Very good, you did a great job. Inhale again...exhale..."
After repeating this several times, Chunxiang's mood finally calmed down a lot, but her face was still pale and she was trembling and huddled in Rong Fei's arms.
"I'm an agent from the Ji Xian Division. My name is Cui Ying. I'm here to help you. Can you tell me what happened? I know you are very confused right now, so don't worry and speak slowly."
Rong Fei continued to comfort him in a gentle voice.
"My lord, it's not quick to ask you a question..."
Snapped!
Manager Liu on the side looked a little anxious and couldn't help scolding Chunxiang. But before he could finish speaking, Bai Zizai raised his arm and gave him a slap in the face, forcibly typing back the second half of his words.
Chunxiang was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, and then realized that the man holding her at this moment was not lying. He and the other man with the evil smile on his face were both people that Manager Liu could not afford to offend.
It can really help yourself.
Grasping the life-saving straw, Chunxiang's condition suddenly improved a bit. She recalled it in her mind and then talked about it.
"This guest has a quirk. He doesn't...that or anything, nor does he drink alcohol or listen to music. Instead, he plays hide-and-seek with the slave."
