Vol 5 Chapter 26: a case (plus more)
Yi Jixuan was also curious, Fu Mingrui came suddenly and gave Lian Youyou a painting, which was really strange. He remembered that when Fu Mingrui came back last night, he was also holding this painting in his hand. What's so weird about this painting that he needs Jiumen to investigate?
Fu Mingrui nodded, and looked at Yi Jixuan: "What I said later, please keep it secret."
Yi Jixuan straightened his expression: "Don't worry Ming Rui, I won't say anything."
Out of trust in her own family and elder brother, Fu Mingrui started to speak: "Yesterday, I received a report from Mr. Lin Zhengying, the agent of the account department, saying that Wang Yi, a doctor under him, had disappeared for five days. So I took people to Wang Yi's house. , His slave said that Wang Yi had been admiring the painting in the house before he disappeared, and he never left. I have ordered someone to check whether Wang Yi has enemies in the capital, or which brothel he hangs out in. There is no news yet. But my elder brother here, But they told me that this painting is weird and has been accompanied by people's disappearance for no reason, so I gave this painting to Miss Lian to find out whether Wang Yi's disappearance is related to this painting."
Lian Youyou nodded and looked at Fu Mingsu: "Master Fu, how do you know these rumors about this painting?"
Fu Ming looked upright, and frowned slightly: "This painting is called "A Beautiful Picture", and it is a transformational work of Huangshan Taoist. It was lost among the people, and I found it on the black market, and then sold it to Wang Yi. It is rumored that this painting was kept in Huang Ye's bedroom before Huang Ye's body, but later, Huang Ye mysteriously disappeared. According to rumors, he became a painting fairy."
"Hey." Lian Youyou chuckled, and put her face on one hand: "Why don't I know a painting fairy named Huang Ye?"
The men were also taken aback, what? This Lian Youyou also knows the gods.
Fat Buddha smiled, not to mention that Lian Youyou knew Huaxian, even if Lian Youyou said that he knew Patriarch Bodhi, he now firmly believed it.
Fu Mingsu was stunned for a while, and then said again: "Later, this painting changed hands several times, but there were rumors that the person who bought it would disappear mysteriously, and later even this painting disappeared."
Lian Youyou nodded, without too much emotion on her face, but looked at Yi Jixuan: "Now, tell me about this house, so that Master Fu can understand what happened."
"Okay." Yi Jixuan began to speak, "Our family has always bought private houses. I told Ming Su and Ming Rui about this last night. I also said at that time that the jade pendant on my body can tell whether the house in front of me is a real one. Yin house. When I entered the house, my jade pendant did not ring, so I missed it. But today, a white shadow suddenly appeared in that maple forest..." Yi Jixuan pointed to the west area maple forest.
Fu Mingsu and Fu Mingrui also stretched their necks to look over. The undulating maple forest, blue sky and white clouds were extremely beautiful.
"That white shadow didn't look like a human being. It traveled through the maple forest at an extremely fast speed. Then, a burst of light formed a ghostly mist, covering the maple forest and scaring away today's craftsmen. Therefore, I invite Miss Lian to come and catch him. Ghost." Yi Jixuan made it clear.
"Ghostbusters...Then this case should belong to the Nine Schools. Why did Miss Lian hand it over to my second brother?" Fu Mingsu looked at Lian Youyou in puzzlement.
Lian Youyou put her face on one hand, and glanced at the three of them: "Because, I am a professional, and there are no ghosts here, but there are people who make troubles. Of course, Master Fu has to catch this ghost."
When Fu Mingrui looked at Fenglin, his eyes began to darken. If Lian Youyou said that the ghost was caused by someone, it must be a trick.
"When I walked in, I smelled a sulfur smell." Lian Youyou started to remind Fu Mingrui, and Fu Mingrui immediately looked at Lian Youyou: "Sulfur smell?"
Lian Youyou nodded slowly.
"Why didn't I smell it?" Yi Jixuan whispered, and smelled it in the air.
Fu Mingsu showed confusion: "This house is haunted by ghosts, which is also a big legend in the capital. After Huang Ye disappeared, when his family moved out, as long as someone came to buy this house, it would be haunted. Now, Miss Lian said, this ghost is Someone is making trouble. Why has someone been making trouble in this empty house for so long? This house should have been empty for more than sixty years."
The corners of Lian Youyou's mouth raised, and she looked at Fu Mingrui with a smile: "Master Fu, based on your professional opinion, why do you think there are always people playing tricks on this house?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Fu Mingrui.
Fu Mingrui frowned and thought deeply: "The common people are afraid of ghosts, and there are ghosts, and it should be to prevent people from living in. Such an empty house does not allow people to live in..." Fu Mingrui stood up and looked around at the exquisite and beautiful mansion in front of him. , "There are many reasons, mainly two, one, there may be treasures buried here..."
"Treasure!" Fu Mingsu and Yi Jixuan's eyes lit up at the same time!
"Two." Fu Mingrui's expression suddenly darkened, his eyes tightened, and he looked back at the crowd, "There is a corpse here."
"Corpse!" Immediately, Fu Mingsu and Yi Jixuan's scalps felt numb, and their backs felt cold.
After hearing this, Lian Youyou nodded and stood up: "I'll leave the case here to Mr. Fu for you to investigate. I'll go back and investigate your paintings."
Fu Mingrui turned around and saluted Lian Youyou: "Thank you, Miss Lian, be careful."
Lian smiled leisurely, but suddenly leaned over and moved closer to Fu Mingsu. This move made both Fu Mingrui and Yi Jixuan stand in surprise.
Fu Mingsu saw Lian Youyou approaching suddenly, and when he was wondering, suddenly, Lian Youyou blew on him, "Huh—"
Immediately, a refreshing fragrance with a hint of coolness blew on his face like a spring breeze, and he sat in a daze in this strange fragrance.
Fu Mingrui saw Lian Youyou blowing up against Ming Su suddenly, and an inexplicable sense of astringency arose in his heart. It was like a stone was stuck in his chest, he couldn't get up or down, but it made him difficult to breathe.
"Ah!" When Fu Ming came back to his senses, he stood up and backed away in fright, and the small stool behind him fell behind him because of his panicked figure.
Fu Mingsu's huge reaction made Yi Jixuan on the side a little suspicious. Fu Mingsu and him are both businessmen, and Fu Mingsu is still in the official circle, so he should be in and out of Fengyuechang more than him. This woman blew a breath of fragrant air towards him, how could it make him so flustered.
Lian Youyou looked funny at Fu Mingsu's appearance: "Hey, Mr. Fu, do you think I'm a monster? So frightened?"
Fu Mingsu's face was already pale, and his heart was still beating after he stood still, he hurriedly bowed his hands: "I made everyone laugh, Miss Lian's sudden move, I'm just a little surprised."
"Miss Lian, please respect yourself." Fu Mingrui said seriously from the side, "Brother already has a family."
"Cut." Lian Youyou cast a disdainful glance at these men who made a fuss, "In the eyes of you men, all the women are the same, hmph." She cast a contemptuous glance at the men, and took it from Fat Buddha's hand. Returning to the painting, turned around, looked up at Fu Mingsu, "Fu Mingsu, have you seen the real painting?"
Fu Mingsu was taken aback.
Yi Jixuan and Fu Mingrui fell into confusion.
