Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 74 Familiar Taste

"This is Miss Lu's room!"

In the inner house of the Hou Mansion, a maidservant introduced Xu Zun and the others.

The boudoir of the daughter of the Hou Mansion is originally a private place, and it is impossible for outsiders to visit, even the last time the police were not allowed to enter the mansion for investigation.

Now, since Xu Zun and Zhao Yu are allowed to enter, it can be seen that Mrs. Changping Hou is already very anxious, and she doesn't care about any etiquette in order to find her daughter.

"Oh……"

As soon as he entered the lady's boudoir, Xu Zun found that it was different here.

But I saw a sword hanging on the front wall, and a pair of warrior armor standing on one side of the corner!
The battle armor is purple and pink in color, judging from the protruding heart mirror and graceful arc, it is obviously a pair of battle armor specially customized for women!

"This……"

Since Wei Beihui is also hindered by etiquette, besides Xu Zun and Zhao Yu, there are only two maids from Miss Lu's body to introduce him.

One of the maidservants quickly replied:
"My lord, Miss Lu is good at both civil and martial arts, especially swordsman and equestrian.

"This armor was made by Master Hou on Miss's 15th birthday. Miss liked it very much, so she moved it into the boudoir."

"Oh……"

Xu Zun inspected the boudoir carefully, but saw that there was indeed a sense of martial arts in the boudoir, which showed that Miss Lu was not a weak and delicate lady.

"You..." Xu Zun asked, pointing to the boudoir bed, "After Miss disappeared, did you search this place carefully?"

"My lord," the maidservant replied, "Master Hou asked us to search carefully, but nothing unusual was found."

The boudoir of the daughter of the Hou Mansion is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

The boudoir is connected with the study room, and the decoration is overflowing, elegant and luxurious.

Xu Zun soon discovered something new, but he saw a few calligraphy and paintings on the desk in the study room, and there were writing supplies such as inkstones and brushes beside them.

When he came close, he held up one of the calligraphy and paintings to check, but saw that it was a picture of a heroic general in white robes, and there was a poem attached to it:

"Dream back to the general's camp, I wish I could kill."

this poem...

"Wow, so domineering!" Zhao Yu also saw this poem, and immediately praised it.

Xu Zun savored it carefully and found that the painting was immature, the brushwork was even a little immature, and the written words were also full of elegance.

"Is this calligraphy and painting made by Ms. Lu?" Xu Zun asked.

"The painting is made by the lady," the maid replied, "but the poem is not!"

"Oh?" Xu Zun looked at the white-robed general on the painting, and then at the domineering poem, and asked, "Who wrote that?"

Before the maidservant could answer, Xu Zun first saw the seal under the calligraphy and painting, but there were four words written on it: "Worked by Lu Xiaofeng".

what! ! ?
Xu Zun was dumbfounded, did Lu Xiaofeng come out?

Are there still Chu Liuxiang and Ximen Chuuxue?

"This poem was written by Ms. Lu's classmate, Miss Xiaofeng!" the maid replied.

classmates?

girl?

It turned out that this Lu Xiaofeng was a woman.

"Miss Xiaofeng is also surnamed Lu," the maidservant continued, "I have a close relationship with my young lady, but it's a pity... A few months ago, Miss Xiaofeng suddenly left without saying goodbye, and the whole family left Shangyuan City..."

"Oh?"

Xu Zun raised his eyebrows, as if he realized something.

"This girl Xiaofeng..." Zhao Yu also asked as if she had discovered the point, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

"This servant doesn't know, but only knows that their family left very suddenly."

"Yes," another echoed, "When Miss found out, she was really anxious and sent people to inquire around, as if she had heard something happened in her hometown, so she left in a hurry.

"But after that, Miss sent someone to investigate, but nothing was found..."

"Yes, a few days ago," the former maid said again, "I also heard that the lady mentioned Miss Xiaofeng, said that she was worried about Miss Xiaofeng's safety, and asked Mr. Wei to help her find..."

"Mr. Wei?" Xu Zun asked, "Wei sad?"

"Yes," the maid nodded, "it is Mr. Wei. He has many friends in the world, so the lady wanted to ask Mr. Wei for help. Unexpectedly, the lady disappeared the next day..."

Gee...

Hearing the maidservant's narration, Xu Zun secretly smacked his lips. Unexpectedly, he once again made the case simple!

At first, the reason why he kept asking Ran Lin about the ages of the college and Miss Lu was because he suspected that Miss Lu's disappearance might be related to love characters.

At the age of 16, you can say whether you are old or young, and it is the time when your love begins.

Since her disappearance does not have any obvious characteristics of kidnapping and extortion, could it be because of emotional problems?
However, according to the present understanding, this Ms. Lu does not look like a sentimental girl in a boudoir, on the contrary she is quite masculine.

If it wasn't for being trapped by love, then this case would have a different flavor!

This smell is very familiar to Xu Zun, it is the smell of conspiracy...

Next, Xu Zun checked the large number of paintings and calligraphy in the study room, and found that Ms. Lu's paintings and calligraphy did not have any tenderness and lingering meaning. They were basically some generous family and country feelings, and some perceptions of Taoism and Xuanjing.

Moreover, many of the paintings and calligraphy were written by that girl Lu Xiaofeng. From the words and paintings, it can be seen that the two girls Lu are indeed congenial and have a deep friendship.

After inspecting the boudoir, Xu Zun found a room with the help of the Taoist priest Wei Bei, and began to question all the people who were close to Miss Lu individually.

"I'm the bearer," one of the bearers who carried the sedan chair told Xu Zun when Miss Lu disappeared, "On the way back from the academy that day, Miss Lu, we walked through the alley at Beiqimen as usual...

"Unexpectedly, when we walked to the center of the alley, a few men in black suddenly fell on our heads and knocked us out!

"At that time, I didn't even see how many people there were. Anyway, they were very skilled. I just felt like I didn't know anything when it was dark!

"Look..." He lifted his collar and let Xu Zun see the palm prints on the back of his neck, "It's been five days, and the swelling hasn't gone away..."

……

"I'm a guard..." A burly middle-aged man said shamelessly, "The enemy came suddenly that day, I was unprepared, and fell into their ambush..."

As he spoke, the guard also lifted his collar, allowing Xu Zun to see a needle hole in his neck.

"They used hidden weapons, and the humble officer passed out before he noticed it. When he opened his eyes again, the young lady had been taken away..."

……

"I am Miss's maid," a young girl said timidly, "It was so scary that day, I only saw a few black shadows, and then I was punched in the back and passed out!"

Xu Zun pondered for a few seconds, and found that this maid did not lift up her collar to let him check like the others, so he asked:

"Did you follow Miss Lu into the academy that day?"

"Go in!" The servant girl replied, "I entered the academy, but I can't enter the school, so I can only wait outside the hall."

"What are they talking about in Qinglan Academy?"

"It seems like a lot," the servant girl replied, "There are national codes, Daoist scriptures and profound scriptures, as well as some knowledge about women's Enke, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the six arts..."

Because the Empress Dowager was in power, in the fourth year of Xianyuan, Daxuan created the Women's Enke for the first time. As long as he can pass the exam, he will have the opportunity to enter Beijing to be a female official.

"Then, Miss, was there anything unusual that day?"

"Abnormal?" The servant girl recalled carefully, shaking her head again and again, "It's exactly the same as usual, there is nothing abnormal!"

"Then, Miss, have you mentioned to you what's on her mind?" Xu Zun asked again, with a fierce look in his eyes, a little scary.

"What's on your mind?" The servant girl hastily lowered her head, and answered in a low voice, "Is there anything on my mind? Oh... It seems that if there is anything on my mind, it's that she hasn't been able to find Miss Lu Xiaofeng, right?"

Next, the servant girl told Xu Zun about Miss Lu Xiaofeng's situation, which was the same as what the previous maidservant had said.

"Oh..." Xu Zun thought for a while, and then asked, "Then... do you think that Miss Lu shows signs of youthful rebellion?"

"This... um..." The servant girl was dumbfounded, and asked weakly, "What is youth rebellion!?"
