Chapter 772 Su Wuming 71

One was wearing a white robe, a tall hat, and his face was painted pale, making him look like a paper man; the other was dressed in black, his face was dark blue, and he was holding a mourning stick in his hand, as if he had crawled out of the underworld.

Chu Hua couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Xi Jun?"

"Chu Hua, stop laughing!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore. You guys should take off your makeup quickly!" Chu Hua took out a bottle of makeup remover oil and handed it to Pei Xijun, but she was wondering in her heart: I don't know if this modern makeup remover oil can be used for ancient oil paint.

Pei Xijun took the makeup remover oil with a puzzled look on her face: "What is this? Oil? How do I remove makeup?" She usually washed her face with clean water, and at most added some bath beans, and had never seen such a thing.

"Oh, you'll know if you try it!" Chu Hua said, squeezing some makeup remover oil onto her hand and gently applying it on Pei Xijun's face.

"Huh? It's smooth, cool and quite comfortable." Pei Xijun closed his eyes and felt the touch of the makeup remover oil.

Chu Hua helped Pei Xijun remove her makeup while explaining, "This is called cleansing oil, it's specifically used to remove makeup, and it's much cleaner than water. Your oil paint looks quite thick, it definitely won't be washed off with water."

Lao Fei, who was standing by, with a dark makeup on, couldn't help but come over and ask curiously, "Is it true? Is it cleaner than washing with water? Then I'll try it too!"

Chu Hua squeezed some makeup remover oil onto Lao Fei's face and let him rub it gently.

Chu Huan sprinkled clean water on Pei Xijun's face and then rubbed it gently. The white oil paint gradually emulsified into a milky white liquid and flowed down Pei Xijun's cheeks, revealing his originally fair and delicate skin.

"Wow! How magical!" Pei Xijun opened his eyes wide and looked at himself in the mirror, filled with surprise.

“It really cleans up! And my skin feels smoother than before!”

Chef Fei Ji standing by also imitated Chu Hua, sprinkling clean water on his face and rubbing it vigorously.

"Ouch! My eyes! They hurt!" Master Fei rubbed his eyes and shouted loudly.

"Old Fei, be gentle! Don't rub your face!" Chu Hua reminded him quickly.

Master Fei Ji then began to rub it carefully. After a while, the black paint on his face gradually faded away, revealing his weather-beaten face.

"Oh! It's really clean! Much cleaner than when I use soap nuts to wash it!" Master Fei Ji touched his face and marveled.

"Of course! This is a high-tech product!" Chu Hua raised her chin proudly.

Su Wuming looked at the three "children" in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He walked to Chu Hua, gently pinched her nose, and said lovingly: "You always come up with some weird things."

Chu Hua made a face at Su Wuming and stuck out her tongue, looking playful and cute.

"Su Wuming, who do you think Lu Gongfu offended? Wasn't it enough to die once, but he stabbed him a second time?"

Su Wuming frowned even more tightly when he heard this. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "This is indeed strange. Logically speaking, since the murderer has already succeeded, there is no need for him to go back and stab a second time."

In Nanzhou Prison, Lu Lingfeng had just finished interrogating Ouyang Quan. Then, he immediately arrested Lin Bao and was interrogating him intensely.

Lu Lingfeng found out that Zhong Boqi and Leng Ji had hired a killer and asked him to bring Lin Bao to Lu Gongfu's spirit. They wanted to kill him with their own hands to avenge Lu Gongfu.

……

Pei Xijun didn't sleep well all night. He tossed and turned, with Lu Lingfeng's figure all in his mind.

He didn't come back last night. Did he encounter a difficult case? Or...something unexpected happened? All kinds of bad thoughts swirled in her mind, making her uneasy.

Pei Xijun got up at dawn and paced back and forth in the yard. There were several crabapple trees planted in the yard, which were in full bloom at the moment. The pink petals swayed gently in the morning breeze, just like her mood at the moment, erratic. From time to time, she looked up at the gate, hoping to see Lu Lingfeng's familiar figure appear.

"Xijun, what's wrong with you? You've been wandering around in the yard like a top since early morning." Chu Huan's voice came from behind with a hint of teasing.

Pei Xijun turned around suddenly and saw Chu Hua and Su Wuming walking towards him side by side. A trace of panic flashed across his face: "No, nothing, I just... couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

Chu Hua raised her eyebrows, obviously not believing her words, walked to her side, and asked in a low voice: "Are you worried about Lu Lingfeng? He didn't come home last night."

Pei Xijun's cheeks instantly flushed, as beautiful as the petals of a crabapple tree: "Who, who is worried about him! I'm just... curious about where he went."

Su Wuming coughed lightly to the side, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere: "Ling Feng went to investigate Lu Gongfu's case last night. I guess he made some new discoveries, so he was delayed."

After hearing Su Wuming's explanation, Pei Xijun finally felt relieved, but then a sense of loss welled up in him.

The three of them came to Ouyang Quan's restaurant. There were only a few early risers around. Ouyang Quan was directing the waiters to wipe the tables and chairs. When he saw Su Wuming, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Lu Lingfeng took him to Nanzhou Prison for interrogation yesterday and released him in the middle of the night. How come Sima came to his door again so early in the morning?

Ouyang Quan complained bitterly in his heart, but his face was full of flattering smiles: "Sir Su, your presence has brought honor to our humble shop! I wonder what you want to do today?"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Chu Hua and Pei Xijun behind Su Wuming, secretly guessing the identities of these two beauties.

Su Wuming glanced at him calmly, and said calmly: "Boss Ouyang, no need to be polite."

Su Wuming smiled slightly, pointed at Chu Hua and said, "This is Miss Chu Hua, a... well, a wonderful woman."

He didn't know how to introduce Chu Hua's identity for a moment. After all, the statement of "a mystery novelist who traveled through time from the 21st century" was too unbelievable, and Ouyang Quan might not believe it if he said it out loud.

He turned to Pei Xijun and said, "This is my adopted sister, Pei Xijun."

Ouyang Quan hurriedly bowed, with an even more flattering smile on his face: "I've heard a lot about you! I'm so sorry!"

He secretly wondered in his heart why there were so many strange women around Su Wuming.

"This time, I brought them here to appreciate the stone bridge paintings in your collection." Su Wuming said calmly.

"what?"

"What? Inconvenient?" Su Wuming narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

The smile on Ouyang Quan's face froze and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I sold that painting yesterday..." Ouyang Quan avoided looking directly at Su Wuming.

"I wonder who it was sold to?" Pei Xijun was a painting lover and thought he could appreciate the stone bridge painting today. When he heard this, there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"Sold to a Persian merchant who was going to Luoyang via Nanzhou."

After leaving the restaurant, Chu Huan took a deep breath. The early morning air in Nanzhou was a little cool, mixed with the fragrance of unknown flowers, which was refreshing.

"This Ouyang Quan is sneaky. There must be something wrong with him."

"Brother, what Ouyang Quan said is not true." Pei Xijun frowned slightly, his tone firm.

"Are you so sure?"

"The Persians, Arabs and Sogdians who come to the Tang Dynasty to do business are all famous for appreciating and buying and selling jewels. I have never heard of anyone interested in calligraphy and paintings, even in Chang'an, let alone in Nanzhou. Besides, we are just admiring and not asking him for anything, so why would he lie?" Although Pei Xijun was young, he was not at all stage-frightened and spoke very eloquently.

Su Wuming nodded slightly and looked at her approvingly.

"I think it may be related to the successive deaths of the four sons of Nanzhou in the stone bridge painting. People would think that this painting is unlucky and worthless." Su Wuming said thoughtfully.

"So superstitious?" Chu Hua blurted out, with a hint of modern people's disbelief in her tone.

"It's just a painting, can it really kill someone?"

"Maybe." Su Wuming smiled slightly, with a hint of doting in his tone.

"Then what do we do now?"

Chu Hua crossed her arms across her chest, looking eager to try: "Just go and rob it?" She raised her eyebrows, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes.

Su Wuming was amused by her sudden words. This girl is really...

"Robbery? In broad daylight, how can we do such a thing as robbery?"

"Then let's go in the evening?" Chu Hua blinked her big eyes and looked at Su Wuming expectantly, as if she was ready for a big fight.

Su Wuming smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and gently tapped her forehead: "Girl, what are you thinking about all day? We are going to investigate a case, not to steal things. How can we go there secretly at night?"

Chu Hua covered her forehead, pouted and whispered: "It's more exciting to go at night..."

Pei Xijun smiled softly and said to Su Wuming, "Brother, Chu Hua is also eager to solve the case, don't blame her."

Su Wuming shook his head and looked into the distance: "Since Ouyang Quan lied, then this stone bridge picture must have another hidden story."

Su Wuming gently patted Chu Huan's shoulder, and said with a hint of helplessness and doting: "Huan'er, don't think about playing all the time. We are investigating the case now."

"Play? I'm serious!" Chu Hua retorted unconvinced, puffing up her cheeks.

"This is called all is fair in war! Do you understand?"

Su Wuming couldn't help but smile at her expression, and ruffled her hair with his hand: "Okay, okay, you are right. However, let's go get some information first to see if we can find other clues."

"Then where do we go to get information?" Chu Hua immediately perked up, her eyes sparkling, as if she had found something interesting.

"Mr. Su!" Xue Huan's voice came from a distance, interrupting the "play" between Su Wuming and Chu Hua. He trotted over with a hint of excitement on his face.
