"I didn't see what she looked like." Xu Guo was silent for a while, and after thinking carefully, he looked at Xu Miaomiao and said with sudden realization: "She was just wearing a black dress, and she said nothing. Then she walked closer to Liu Niang and stabbed her with a knife."
"Does Liu Niang have any enemies recently?" Xu Miaomiao asked again.
Song Weiwei shook her head and said, "We have been traveling together and living together most of the time these days. Liu Niang is friendly to everyone and I have never seen her make any enemies."
Xu Miaomiao sat up straight, thought for a while, and said, "Since he is not Liu Niang's enemy, then he must be from our department store."
"Department store?" Song Weiwei was a little confused.
Xu Miaomiao continued, "We are women merchants. Some people in the capital have long been dissatisfied with us. Besides, we have offended many people along the way."
"But apart from the boss who exposed Zuixiefang, the others just said a few words to us at most, and we didn't do anything to them." Song Weiwei continued to speak, and after saying this, she looked at Xu Miaomiao with an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Could it be him?"
"Don't make irresponsible statements without evidence." Xu Miaomiao continued, "The one who can kill people in a busy city must be very experienced. He is not an ordinary person. I am afraid that someone hired a killer."
"Then where do we start investigating?" Song Weiwei slumped in the chair and looked at Gu Yuanniang on the bed: "We can't let Liu Niang suffer this in vain."
"Of course not."
Xu Miaomiao straightened his clothes and said, "But as long as someone is hurt, there will be traces left. As long as there are traces, we can find him."
Song Weiwei was a little confused listening on the side.
After Xu Qingshan bought the medicine, Xu Miaomiao asked Song Weiwei to stay at home to boil the medicine, and went out alone.
Under the feet of the emperor, in the capital, a crime was committed in a shop in broad daylight. It was indeed because she was too tolerant to others in her daily life that those people came to her door to do this today. If she was not kind, she would probably only help the evil and make those people really think that they were easy to bully.
Xu Miaomiao thought secretly and walked straight out the door.
This capital city seems to be full of sunshine, but in fact, there are many cockroaches in the dark places. Qianjin Pavilion in this capital city is the largest gathering place of killers. Even the government has failed to clean it up several times. They are just ordinary people and have never cared about the affairs of the world, but today she must be justified.
Xu Miaomiao walked in and successfully exchanged secret codes with the person at the front desk. She learned this from a girl named Xiao Chu from a brothel. The woman had been weak because she had lost her child, so Xu Miaomiao helped her to recuperate. As a result, the woman was willing to tell Xu Miaomiao anything.
At that time, Xu Miaomiao was just listening for fun and never thought that one day she would set foot on this land. After coming in, a woman received Xu Miaomiao.
The woman's hair was tied up with a silver hairpin, with a strand of hair left in front of her forehead, making her look a bit masculine. The collar of her clothes did not cover her chest at all, revealing a deep cleavage that was truly mouth-watering.
When the woman saw that it was Xu Miaomiao, she smoothed her hair, twisted her body, and walked towards Xu Miaomiao: "I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be a young lady. What are you doing in my Qianjin Pavilion?"
"It is said that there is no one that Qianjin Pavilion cannot kill. Today I am also here to do business."
"Oh? Who on earth could have offended such a beautiful girl like you?" The woman said as she gently stroked Xu Miaomiao's cheek with her fingertips.
"My lady, you may not know that although I am a woman, I also opened my own shop on the street. Today at noon, someone came to my shop to commit a crime."
Hearing this, the woman's face froze a little, and she continued to look at Xu Miaomiao and said, "What do you mean?"
"I came here today to ask you to help me kill this murderer."
"Hahahaha." The woman smiled slightly, then sat down on a chair beside her, crossed one leg, and trembled twice with the pipe in her hand: "To be honest, the person who went to your store today to commit murder was from Qianjin Pavilion. We accepted his kindness and negotiated this deal. We were going to wipe you out, but who would have thought that there was only one person in the store."
"I'm a little surprised that my lady told me so generously." Xu Miaomiao said calmly, but in fact her fingers were already tightly grasping her clothes, and her legs were shaking slightly.
"Why not tell you? We at Qianjin Pavilion only have two principles. First, we don't betray our employers. Second, we do anything that pays."
"I understand." Xu Miaomiao said softly, and took out a silver note of one thousand taels from his sleeve and put it on the table: "Here are one thousand taels for killing the person who killed me, and this one thousand taels is yours."
The woman chuckled, took the banknote from Xu Miaomiao's desk, examined it carefully, then put it away and put it on her body. She looked at Xu Miaomiao with a playful look and said, "This deal is done. One thousand taels in exchange for the life of one of our killers is definitely worth it."
"But I have a request." Xu Miaomiao continued, "He hurt my best friend today. I am very unhappy. I must make him come to me. I want to watch him die with my own hands."
"That's easy." The woman clapped her hands, and the man next to her immediately came up and said, "Go and call number 87 over."
The man nodded, and soon a man dressed in black with only a pair of eyes showing on his face came over, squatted on the ground and saluted the woman.
"There is a business at No. 87 that wants to buy your life."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao was a little confused and looked at the man next to her. She thought that this man would resist, but who knew that this man called No. 87 would directly take out a dagger and stab himself in the heart. After a while, he fell to the ground, and a pool of blood flowed out.
Xu Miaomiao was shocked when she saw this scene and couldn't recover for a long time.
She thought this man would fight to the death, but who would have thought that the people here were as obedient as puppets, allowing others to control them.
"Madam, do you have any other instructions?"
Xu Miaomiao took out another two thousand from his sleeve and handed it to the woman, saying, "I won't care if you take over my business, but from now on, if anyone kills me or anyone in our store, you will kill him. How about that?"
"Protect you?" The woman asked with some doubt when she heard this. She turned to look at Xu Miaomiao and said, "My dear, this is a black shop. We don't do anything for nothing."
"How can I say that I lived in vain if I killed those who killed me? Besides, didn't you say that you would accept anything as long as there was money?"
