Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 701: Legend of Ancient Sword 17

Ouyang Shaogong has not returned yet, but Jiang Xinxin has received the news that Feng Qingxue will arrive in Qinchuan soon. As for Ouyang Shaogong, there is no recent news yet. Only more than two months ago did he say that he knew the whereabouts of Yuheng. Yuheng is a treasure that can be used to nourish the soul.

Baili Tu Su was also worried that something might happen to Ouyang Shaogong along the way. He seemed worried all the time except when he was teaching Fang Lansheng kung fu, when he could relax for a while.

Fang Ruqin was naturally worried about Ouyang Shaogong, but although she had some romantic feelings for Ouyang Shaogong, she also believed in Ouyang Shaogong's abilities more. She only comforted Baili Tusu by saying that Ouyang Shaogong had never neglected the death anniversaries of his elders in the family, and then she devoted herself to taking care of the Ouyang family's house.

Two days later, a flower thief suddenly appeared in Qinchuan City. Fang Lansheng explained, "It wasn't a sudden incident. There were rumors that several beautiful girls in the city had been in trouble. It's a pity that the flower thief was so elusive that I couldn't help him even if I wanted to."

Baili Tu Su wanted to help very much, but he didn't know where to start. Then he heard Jiang Xinxin say to Fang Lansheng: "Mr. Fang, can you bring a map of Qinchuan City? It would be great if you knew where those murdered girls lived."

When Fang Lansheng heard that this was something he could do, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Immortal, I will definitely do it for you!"

Not long after Fang Lansheng went out, he really brought back a map of Qinchuan City. However, today's maps are very simple. You can see the streets clearly, but you still need to ask which families live in each street and which shops are opened. However, Fang Lansheng grew up in Qinchuan City and liked to travel around, so he added all the families and shops he knew in a short while.

Jiang Xinxin looked at the copied map that was filled with writing and couldn't help but joked, "Mr. Fang is really lively. I'm afraid there is no place in Qinchuan City that you don't know."

Fang Lansheng blushed slightly at the teasing, but was mostly proud, "I told you, I can definitely help with this matter!"

Baili Tu Su also understood Jiang Xinxin's intention when he saw this. When Fang Lansheng marked out the houses that had been harmed by the flower thief, he almost immediately found a clue: "Xinxin, look, the traces of the flower thief are getting closer and closer to this place!"

Fang Lansheng leaned over to look at the area that Baili Tusu pointed to, and after a careful recollection, he said, "The most famous place in this area is the Sun Mansion. There happens to be an unmarried young lady in the mansion, but there are only rumors in Qinchuan City that the young lady seems to be a little weak, so she has not officially shown her face yet."

Fang Lansheng wanted to go to the Sun Mansion to inquire about the news immediately. Baili Tusu looked calm, but in fact his eyes were full of eagerness. Jiang Xinxin just smiled and sent Fang Lansheng to tell Fang Ruqin: "Since you are going out, you must tell Miss Fang."

Fang Lansheng couldn't wait any longer, so he pulled Baili Tusu out and said, "Oh, it's too late! Besides, my second sister went out to inspect the shop early this morning, and I don't know when she will be back. Why don't we tell the housekeeper?"

Fang Lansheng jumped out of the door and headed towards the Sun Mansion, but Jiang Xinxin grabbed him and said, "Although we are going to the Sun Mansion, we must first go to the homes of the girls who have been killed to check the situation and see what similarities these girls have, so that Miss Sun can believe what we say."

Fang Lansheng nodded directly, without any objection. He was eager to be involved in this matter and walk around outside more. "I still remember a Miss Liu. Her house is the closest to mine. Why don't we go to the Liu Mansion first?"

Jiang Xinxin and Baili Tu Su both agreed with this point and came to Liu's house to explain their purpose. Surprisingly, everyone in Liu's house was very understanding and was willing to let them go to Miss Liu's yard to take a look and even let them question Miss Liu.

Jiang Xinxin admired such a family very much, and secretly reminded herself to be careful not to let Miss Liu get hurt again.

But they didn't expect that the flower thief mentioned by Miss Liu actually sounded like a good and refined person. This made Jiang Xinxin and Baili Tu Su look at each other in confusion.

Miss Liu looked at a window and said tenderly: "...He came on the moon, and I just felt that his demeanor, like that of a banished immortal, was so charming..."

"...He watched the moon and the stars with me, talked to me about poetry and songs and local legends, and I also listened to countless love legends..."

"Besides, he never did anything frivolous to me from beginning to end, and even gave me a noble orchid. How could such a person be a... despicable flower thief?"

Jiang Xinxin smiled and asked Miss Liu, "Miss Liu, may I take a look at your orchid?"

Miss Liu was very reluctant at first, but she could see that Jiang Xinxin and Baili Tu Su were not ordinary people, and she felt a little afraid. She could only carefully take out the orchid wrapped in a fine silk handkerchief from her sleeve, but she did not let Jiang Xinxin touch it directly.

Although Jiang Xinxin was speechless about not being able to get started, she did not find it difficult for this wonderful Miss Liu. She recognized at a glance that this was not an ordinary orchid, but a unique variety that had been carefully cultivated. This made it easier for everyone to find someone.

Baili Tu Su got close and sniffed it, and could tell there was a little bit of the smell of drugs left on it. "There is a very small amount of secret drug left on this orchid. I estimate that this amount will not make people comatose, but will only make people dazed and produce hallucinations under certain circumstances."

Fang Lansheng watched Jiang Xinxin and Baili Tusu with his eyes wide open. They found so many clues in just a few words. Of course, he was full of admiration. Then he heard Jiang Xinxin ask Miss Liu, "Miss Liu, do you still remember what the person who gave you the orchid looked like?"

Miss Liu was no longer very happy, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before. She replied stiffly: "Of course he is as handsome and elegant as this Mr. Baili!"

Jiang Xinxin continued to smile and explained, "I want to ask Miss Liu whether the man's face is long or short, whether his chin is square or round, the length, thickness and color of his eyebrows, whether his eyes are big or small, whether his nose is high or low, whether his nose tip is pointed or round, how thick his lips are, and whether he has bangs and what kind of bangs they are."

When Miss Liu heard Jiang Xinxin asking a lot of questions, including about her nose, eyes, eyebrows and mouth, she couldn't help but recall what she had asked.

However, she encountered the flower thief when she was semi-conscious. Although she was not molested and thought that the thief was a gentle banished immortal, she could not remember his specific appearance at all. She only remembered that he was very handsome in white clothes and his voice was gentle but powerful, which bewitched her and she couldn't help but fall in love with him.

When we went to the next house, the young lady was in great pain because of such an experience. Even though she claimed that the flower thief had not molested her, she was filled with fear at the time and felt that the thief was hateful. Even the orchid that was left behind was still placed on the table by the window and had never been moved.

After going to another house, the young lady of the other family also hated the flower thief very much, but she also did not encounter any flirtatious behavior. There was an identical orchid left by the window, and there was no residue of drugs on it. But she also thought that the man seemed to be good-looking.

At the end of the day, after questioning all the families who had met with accidents, except Miss Liu, everyone else felt distressed by the other party's behavior, but they had indeed not been subjected to any molestation. There was also an identical orchid at the scene, but there was not necessarily any drug residue on the orchid. The ladies' descriptions of the flower thief's appearance were also very different.

Some people, like Miss Liu, thought that the other party was handsome, while others claimed that he was hideous. In short, Fang Lansheng was completely confused.
