Chapter 34: An Appointment with the Detective



Having said that, Luo Xuening had made some special preparations for this meeting with the detective. In her understanding, this Detective Fang Jinyu should be a sixty-year-old detective. For this reason, her attire today was simple but not solemn.

Luo Xue Ning thought that she would visit the detective today, so naturally she had to prepare some gifts for him. As the detective was older, he would inevitably pay more attention to keeping fit. So Luo Xue Ning prepared a ginseng as a gift.

Huang Yiyi saw at a glance how well prepared Luo Xuening was today. She scratched her head in embarrassment, with a hint of embarrassment clearly in her eyes.

"Ning'er, you don't need to prepare so much. This time, we don't have to go to the detective's house. We can just go to the restaurant and wait for the detective."

Luo Xue Ning looked at Huang Yiyi's unnatural expression, and instantly guessed what Huang Yiyi was planning. She frowned and looked at Huang Yiyi.

"Yiyi, you are not lying to me, are you? Do you really have an appointment with the detective?"

Huang Yiyi, whose secret was exposed, could only respond with an apologetic smile: "Ning'er, I can't just casually make an appointment with that detective. But don't worry, I've already found out that Detective Fang will be at Shengshi Restaurant today. Let's go over there and stake out now."

After Huang Yiyi finished speaking, she pulled Luo Xuening into the carriage without further ado and loudly ordered the driver to hurry to Shengshi Restaurant.

Luo Xue Ning was secretly shocked. It turned out that what Huang Yiyi said was true. She actually failed to make an appointment with the detective.

Alas, Luo Xuening looked helplessly at the ginseng in her hand. It seemed that she would not be able to use it.

Shengshi Restaurant. When Luo Xuening and the others rushed over, many young ladies had already gathered in front of the door of Shengshi Restaurant.

It's strange to say, but the ladies who usually don't like to go out seem to be particularly concerned about the Detective Fang who is over 60 years old. When they learned that the detective was drinking here, they sat in the carriage and waited.

Luo Xuening took a distant look and saw that there were more than seven or eight carriages parked outside the Shengshi Restaurant alone. The carriages almost blocked the avenue, making the already crowded street even more bustling.

"Ning'er, look, I told you that detectives are very popular in Beijing. These people are all waiting for the detective. When do you think Detective Fang will show up?"

Huang Yiyi looked inside the Shengshi Restaurant, although she could clearly see nothing. However, she acted like a woman waiting for her husband to leave, wishing she could stare through the door of the Shengshi Restaurant.

Most of the young ladies waiting here actually have the same idea as Huang Yiyi, wanting to go out and "accidentally meet" the detective. It seems that the star-chasing effect exists no matter what era.

"Yiyi, don't look anymore. The detective has left."

"? Why? I had someone guarding the back door, how did he get out?"

Huang Yiyi looked at Luo Xuening in confusion. This grand restaurant had two doors, the front and the back. The front door was close to the street, where Huang Yiyi and Luo Xuening were at the moment. It was now blocked by most of the ladies' carriages.

They were sure that the detective did not go out through the front door and the back door was also locked. So, how did the detective get out?

Huang Yiyi was still a little skeptical at first, but when she looked into the Shengshi Restaurant again, there were still people coming and going inside, but there was no sign of the miracle doctor at all.

Maybe Ning'er was right. How could such a powerful detective like Fang Jinyu be stopped by a group of women like them? He must have slipped away long ago.

"Ning'er, the front and back doors are blocked. How did this detective get out? Can you tell me?"

Huang Yiyi was obviously the kind of girl who grew up in a honeypot. She was used to acting coquettishly but not annoying. At this moment, she was like a noisy child, shaking Luo Xuening's shoulders.

Luo Xuening looked at her indifferently: "Think for yourself."

Huang Yiyi was helpless and could only frown and support her chin to start thinking, while Luo Xuening was still sitting in the carriage and dozing off.

"Ah, I see. There is a secret passage in this wine shop."

As Huang Yiyi finished speaking, she was hit on the head by a hand bullet. Luo Xuening frowned and said, "How do you think they built a secret passage in a wine house in the capital where every inch of land is worth a lot of money? And how can they avoid being discovered?"

“It seems so.”

Huang Yiyi patted her dull forehead sadly: "Could it be that they pretended to be customers in the store and went out?"

"Yes, I finally got it. They left not long ago. I'll take you to find him."

"Very good!"

......

On a quiet path, a simply decorated carriage was moving slowly along the path.

Among them was a man dressed in white with black hair as black as ink. His black hair was untied and draped behind his body, like the finest silk. His long eyebrows were as delicate as a woman's, yet he had a masculine air. His eyes were slightly raised, his red lips were lightly curled, and he looked gentle and affectionate. This man was the detective Fang Jinyu that Luo Xuening and the others were looking for.

"I say, if we just leave like this, will no one find us?"

Opposite Fang Jinyu was a man in red. He sat on the carriage with his legs apart, his eyes were seductively raised, and while talking, his eyes moved around, clearly full of charm. It was easy to imagine that this man was even more beautiful than the woman.

"Do you think this is possible?"

Fang Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Nangong Yu. His delicate eyebrows and eyes showed a bit of gentleness. While speaking, he smiled faintly. No wonder he could charm thousands of girls.

"That's not necessarily true."

Nangong Yu took an angry look at the carriage that was rushing up from behind. He smiled evilly and suddenly rushed out of the carriage. He forced the carriage to stop, turned around and shouted at Fang Jinyu.

"How about a bet?"

Looking at the carriage chasing after him, Fang Jinyu sighed. His escape route was clearly precise and covert, but he was still caught up. He lost.

"You win, but I really want to know what kind of person is it that can catch up with me?"

As Fang Jinyu finished speaking, the carriage stopped. At the same time, the carriage behind it also stopped. She knew that the people in front were waiting for them.

A woman stepped out of the carriage at the back. She was wrapped in a light pink gown with a white gauze on the outside, revealing her graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone. The folds of her skirt flowed lightly on the ground like snow and moonlight. She walked lightly and her figure was as graceful as a swallow. She looked at the elegant figure in front of her and smiled slightly, revealing her girlish coquettishness.

Nangong Yu pursed his lips; "She was the one who found us. She's quite pretty."

Fang Jinyu's expression did not change, but her eyes were fixed on the carriage until another figure walked out of the carriage.

She was wearing a light blue dress with white dots of red plum blossoms embroidered on the hem, and a white brocade belt bound her slender waist. Her long black hair was tied into a bun, and she only inserted a white jade hairpin with a plum blossom pattern. Although simple, she looked fresh and elegant.

And the moment she raised her eyes, her look was empty, as if something had struck Fang Jinyu's heart directly, and he walked forward as if possessed by a ghost.

"Excuse me, ladies, are you here to see me?"

Before Fang Jinyu could even say hello, Nangong Yu had already spoken. Fang Jinyu glanced at Nangong Yu without thanks. The girl was obviously looking for him, but how could this man be so shameless?

After introducing each other, Fang Jinyu frowned and looked at Luo Xuening: "Miss Luo, may I ask, how did you find us?"

Luo Xuening raised her bright eyes and smiled slightly, "There are two of us. How can the detective be sure it's me?"

Fang Jinyu chuckled. This woman was really interesting. She was testing herself first.

"First, after Miss Huang got off the carriage, she immediately turned around to help you up. This is enough to show that you hold a very important position in her heart, and I clearly felt it during the conversation just now.

This Miss Huang seems to be somewhat curious about my reputation as a detective. Considering her attitude towards you and me, Miss Huang's respect for you may be because Miss Luo, like me, likes to analyze. "

"Second, although Miss Huang was standing in front of you, she habitually looked at you when she spoke, seeking your approval. This is enough to show that you were the one who came up with the plan between the two of you. Naturally, it was probably your idea to find us."

Luo Xuening listened to this analysis without making any comment but kept a polite smile. On the contrary, Huang Yiyi wanted to applaud.

"Detective Fang, you are amazing."

Here, Huang Yiyi's eyes automatically had pink bubbles, Fang Jinyu smiled gently, her eyes still looking at Luo Xuening.

"I was in a carriage when I saw two figures leaving the tavern in a hurry, and the cloaks you were wearing looked a bit old.

Those who go in and out of Shengshi Tavern are all children of noble families, so your old clothes are very obvious. I can naturally guess that you left the tavern after dressing up."

"You said my cloak is old?"

However, Nangong Yu was not happy with Luo Xue Ning's words. He looked at the two cloaks on himself and Fang Jinyu. How could they be old?

"Oh, it's not old, it's broken."

Luo Xue Ning walked forward and lifted up a corner of the cloak in Nangong Yu's hand, revealing a strip of cloth, which he had probably accidentally cut.

This time, it was Nangong Yu's turn to be embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and retreated, but there was a gleam of admiration in his eyes.

"Besides, the road to Shengshi Restaurant has been blocked. I checked the road map and found that only by taking this road can you avoid those people, so I chased you out."

"Miss Luo, you are really amazing."
