Chapter 279: Dragon Figure Country Case (64)
Long Xingtuxin walked in and said with a bright look: "I don't know where the songs the maid sang are folk tunes from? They sound unique."
Meng Yu leaned in front of the window, his eyes were distant and empty, his expression seemed to cry and laugh, "I forgot. Maybe it was in the mountains, maybe in the forest, or in the dream..."
"Since I was twelve years old, I traveled with my master all over the world, from the south to the north, from the East Sea to the West Mountain, and traveled almost every inch of land in the Xia Dynasty. One year, we celebrated the Spring Festival in Fengyang..."
The Dragon Star Picture deliberately aggravates the two key words, secretly observing Meng Yu's reaction, but seeing Meng Yu's eyelashes blinking quickly, her slender hands drooping casually, and her subconscious and purposeless movements indicate that Meng Yu's heart was touched and she had feelings for Fengyang!
So, the Dragon Star Map continued to attack the heart, "Fengyang is a good place, with beautiful mountains and waters, and the girl's singing is even more beautiful. We siblings linger for many days and are reluctant to leave and stay until the Spring Festival. That night, it was really lively. The city was hosting a lantern festival, and there were crowds of people. Unmarried men and women followed the tradition of Fengyang. Each of them carried a platycodon flower lantern and gave it to the person they like. If the other party accepted the lantern, they would show that they were happy and could promise each other for life. Unfortunately, we were young at that time, and we could only watch others lively and follow them."
Meng Yu's face became more and more strange, but she didn't say a word and her shoulders slowly tightened.
Long Xingtu asked enthusiastically: "I wonder if the maid has a sweetheart?"
Meng Yu was silent for a moment before whispering: "I am the woman whom the Fanbian country presented to the Emperor of Xia Dynasty. How dare I have an affair? Master Long was joking."
"The maid's words are wrong. Love is born from the heart, and heart is controlled by it. Who can do anything? A person lives for a lifetime and his body and hair are taken by his parents, and his life is not by the heavens. But he always has to hide his own personal feelings in his heart, so that he has not come to this world for nothing, right?"
"Does Master Long have someone in his heart?"
Suddenly being asked back, Long Xingtu was stunned on the spot, "I...I don't know, maybe there is, maybe... Actually, I haven't figured out my feelings yet."
Meng Yu smiled sweetly: "Then I wish Master Long could understand his heart as soon as possible and get married with lovers."
The Dragon Star Tu was infected by Meng Yu's smile. Looking at the woman in front of her, it was difficult for her to place the word murderer on the other party.
The atmosphere was slightly congested.
"You are a person with a story," said Long Xingtu. "Usually, people with a story are people with profound experiences and low happiness."
Meng Yu turned around, moved his lotus steps lightly, and stood firm in front of the Dragon Star Map, "If there is a chance to tell the truth, I will tell you, who is the person in my heart, and where is he."
"What, am I not worthy of my trust?" Long Xingtu bent his lips, not saying that.
Meng Yu smiled, "Unless Master Long cracks the case and finds out the real murderer."
Long Xingtu raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the murderer the fourth prince Zhou Yun?"
"If this is true, then Master Long is known as the detective of the Xia Dynasty, he will be worthy of his reputation."
"It seems that the handmaid is sure that the fourth prince is wronged!"
"No, I'm not sure, but I believe in Master Long's ability to judge cases. And in Master Long's heart, pursuing the truth is the most important thing, right?"
The Dragon Star Map suddenly couldn't understand Meng Yu, "Do you want me to peel off the thread and dig out all the stories behind the murderer?"
Meng Yuying asked with a smile: "This is what Master Long should do, isn't it?"
Dragon Star Picture nodded.
Meng Yu walked back to the window, looking out the night stars outside the window, his quiet face was reflected by the moonlight, and he looked like a girl who was ignorant of the world, innocent and innocent.
"Give it to you." Long Xingtumo for a moment and took out the prepared things, "I don't know how to buy gifts for girls. I hope the maid will like these rouge powder."
Meng Yu heard this and was a little surprised, "Why did Master Long give me a gift? I don't actually need these. Your emperor has sent a lot."
"Oh? No wonder the woman's face is as white as jade. It must be the makeup powder given by the emperor, which is very different from the people's use." Long Xingtu was very happy, and then said embarrassedly: "Mr. Long has a reluctant request. Can I ask the woman for a box of makeup powder? I want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to my Achu."
Meng Yu suddenly realized, "It turns out that Master Long's favorite person is Miss Zhong Chu!" After speaking, he called the maid in and ordered the maid to get things.
Then, two boxes of makeup powder were delivered to Long Xingtu's hand. She opened one of the boxes, looked at the milky white powder inside, smelled the fragrance, and said calmly: "I really don't know what material this makeup powder is made of? It's white and tender when pounced on a woman's face, it's so white and tender."
Meng Yu smiled, "There are many kinds of makeup powder. This is called Jade Girl Peach Blossom Pollen. It is made of materials such as gypsum, talc, clam powder, wax cream, shell musk and motherwort."
Long Xingtu slowly clenched his fingers into fists. She stared at Meng Yu with a slow speech: "So is this jade girl's peach blossom pollen used on the girl's face?"
"Yes." Meng Yu nodded.
Long Xingtu clasped his fists, "Long thanked his maid, it was already dark, Long said goodbye."
Her pace of departure was as heavy as a mountain.
The truth is about to come out, but based on guessing and inference, without specific evidence, she cannot continue to tentatively inquire, otherwise she will be alarmed.
Outside the courtyard gate of Luoyuzhai, a person stands alone and quietly.
Dragon Star Map looks at the other party through the moonlight, "General Ye Hai!"
"Master Long, let's talk." Ye Hai spoke in a faint tone.
"I plan to go to listen to Fangge, let's talk while walking."
"good."
The two walked side by side.
Long Xingtu said: "Does General Ye Hai want to know the progress of the case? Sorry, it is confidential and Long is inconvenient to disclose it."
"No." Ye Hai denied, his steps were a little heavy, "Master Long, you don't have to doubt the maid. She has been a Buddhist for many years and never killed, so how could she kill people?"
Long Xingtu frowned: "Does General Ye Hai know the maid very well? If it weren't for the maid killed, who would it be? Is General Ye Hai a suspicious person?"
Ye Hai said: "I don't know. But no matter who the murderer is, he can't be a handmaid."
"I don't believe in anyone, I only believe in evidence!" Long Xingtu turned his head and looked at him, saying, "Last night, I saw a platycodon flower lantern in General Ye Hai's house. I don't know where the general came from? Such lanterns are considered tokens for love in Fengyang City in our Xia Dynasty!"
Ye Hai's steps were obviously slowed down, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "Master Long has a wide range of knowledge, but he doesn't know if the Platycodon lantern has another meaning in Fengyang City?"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Star Map's expression tightened, "Oh? I hope to hear it carefully!"
