"That wretched girl keeps her mouth shut all day long. She's not close to anyone. Who knows who she's looking for."
Although Hui Mo changed into men's clothes, his face was still covered with Baiji. Even if he couldn't eat pork, he still wanted to see a pig run. He followed Ning Shu to the most famous pleasure boat on the Moon Luring Lake. He didn't expect to see an old brothel owner instead of a beauty. He suddenly withered.
The brothel owner said while trimming her nails: "I only know that she came from Qingzhou. Three months ago, she came to my pleasure boat to perform. Then she said that she came to the capital to look for someone. People like us who hang around in the entertainment industry, who doesn't have a lot of troubles? She doesn't like to talk about it, and I don't like to ask. As long as she can make money for me, it's fine. "
Ning Shu was very patient: "Then, are the things in Niinu's room still there? Can you let us see it? "
The brothel owner pointed at it and said: "She's gone. Why should I keep her room? She packed it all up and threw it in the utility room. You go in and find the blue bag. "
Under the guidance of the brothel owner, Ning Shu found the bag. The bag was very small. It could be seen at a glance because there was nothing valuable in it. There were only a few old clothes and used rouge and powder, which no one wanted. Hui Mo stepped forward and carefully checked it several times, but he didn't find anything. Then he shook his head at Ning Shu in disappointment.
Ning Shu was prepared. She looked at the brothel owner: "Where are her papers and other things?"
The brothel owner was angry when she thought of this: "She must have planned it early that night and took it away. I remember that I locked it in the cupboard. I don't know when she stole it. I trusted her so much. She's really heartless. "
Ning Shu frowned. It seemed that the other party was very careful. If she didn't investigate the Cloud Leaf case, no one would find that a singer on the Moon Luring Lake disappeared silently, as if she had never existed. But this also reflected that Niinu was definitely hiding a huge secret, and it was very likely that she was the key to solving this case.
She lowered her head and thought for a moment. Then, she remembered. "I remember last time I heard from my mother that she put her family heirloom as collateral with you. Can you let me have a look?"
"Alright, just you wait."
The procuress went to her room and searched for a long time before coming back. "Here, it's just a thin bracelet. It's less than five qian worth of gold. Only these gems are worth a little money. She even coaxed me that it was passed down from her ancestors and was very important to her. I really believed her nonsense. "
Ning Shu took the bracelet and looked at it carefully. It was just an ordinary bracelet. Poor people might treat it as a treasure, but in the capital, it was not enough. It was quite old, but the style was still somewhat exotic. However, he couldn't find out more information from it.
Taking back the bracelet, the procuress said lazily, "That's all I know. If you want to know anything else, you can ask Chun Niang. I have more than a dozen girls on this boat, but I only saw her occasionally chatting with Niinu. "
"Then may I ask where Miss Chun Niang is?" Ning Shu was looking for her.
The procuress said, "Just now, a very powerful master came to the lake. All the famous girls on the Moon Embracing Lake took the initiative to board his boat. Chun Niang was also among them."
Ning Shu was curious. "Who has such a big face?" There were more than a dozen famous girls on the Moon Embracing Lake. How big of a show of extravagance was it to invite so many girls.
When the God of Wealth was mentioned, the procuress laughed. "It's not a big face, it's a big money. The imperial bodyguard who came only said one sentence: His master invited you. One hundred taels per person. You don't need to do anything else. You only need to play the zither, sing and dance. If you are willing, come. When the girls heard this, they all rushed to board the boat. There were too many people, and one of them was almost squeezed into the lake. Do you know who this master is? He is the richest man in the capital, Prince Ke Ke! "
Ning Shu looked in the direction pointed by the procuress. Sure enough, she saw a gorgeous and dazzling big boat not far away. The word "Ke" on the boat was written in a flamboyant style. Especially the last stroke, it looked like a round copper coin.
In contrast to the South Pacifying Lord's residence, Hui Mo's eyes were almost blinded by the golden light reflected from the boat. 'Wow, it's so extravagant. It's so arrogant!'
