Chapter 110 Goodbye Lu Xiaofeng

That night, Lu Ping went out for a midnight snack and met Lu Xiaofeng again.

However, when he met Lu Xiaofeng this time, the person beside him was not Hua Manlou, but a graceful woman whom Lu Ping had never seen before.

"What a coincidence! You two...are you on a date?"

"Yes, we are dating!"

The person who answered was not Lu Xiaofeng, but the woman next to him.

This woman is young, pretty, with fair skin and beautiful looks. She is three parts quiet and elegant, and seven parts coquettish and willful. When she looks at others, she is cold and fierce, but when she looks at Lu Xiaofeng, the love revealed in her eyes is almost threadbare.

Lu Ping looked the woman up and down.

White clothes, red shoes.

There is an owl embroidered on the shoe.

If it’s the person with red shoes, then this woman is either the eldest sister Gongsun Lan or the eighth sister Xue Bing.

Thinking about the Embroidery Thief who was brought to justice some time ago, this woman in front of me...

No, no, you can’t think like that!

The plot may not be the same as the original, so Xue Bing may not be 100% dead.

Moreover, the woman in front of him didn't look very old. In addition, the tone of her voice just now, and the gestures she made when facing Lu Xiaofeng, revealed a bit of the innocent and romantic attitude of a girl...

Lu Ping felt that it was more likely that this woman was Xue Bing. After all, Gongsun Lan would not admit that she was dating Lu Xiaofeng.

Sure enough, just as Lu Ping came to a conclusion, the other party began to introduce himself: "I'm Xue Bing!"

Xue Bing is the descendant of Madam Xue, the master of acupuncture, and one of the 'Four Great Tigresses' in the martial arts world, known as 'Cold Rakshasa'.

In the original novel, he was involved in the case of the Embroidery Thief because of Lu Xiaofeng, fell into the hands of Jin Jiuling, and finally died in an unclear manner.

When Lu Ping first read the book, he thought she was just killed. Later, when he read the martial arts fan fiction, he realized that the book hinted that she was killed by Jin Jiuling first in that way and then in that way.

But now, because Lu Xiaofeng is not the only one investigating the Embroidery Thief, he also has the help of the Huolong Villa, which is why Xue Bing is not dead.

In this regard, Lu Ping can only say: Long live pure love!

Lu Ping is a pure love party and has always regarded the Minotaur as his mortal enemy. But now there are no Minotaur, so his mortal enemies are all the couples who show their love in front of him.

For example, Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing in front of us.

So Lu Ping decided to find something for these two people to do, so that they wouldn't sit there all day long, thinking that they had reached the peak of their lives.

"Lu Xiaofeng, when did you change women again? Where is the 'Manman' from last time?"

As soon as these words came out, the two people in front of him changed their expressions at the same time.

Lu Xiaofeng widened his eyes and stared at Lu Ping in disbelief.

Although he didn't speak, Lu Ping could hear his inner voice: Brother, we have no grudges against each other, why are you hurting me like this? !

Why didn't Lu Xiaofeng speak?

Because at this time, he had been beaten by Xue Bing and was screaming in pain.

"Listen to my explanation...Listen to my explanation..."

Xue Bing didn't listen at all: "Okay, explain! First, tell me who 'Manman' is!!"

Of course, Lu Xiaofeng looked aggrieved: "I don't know who 'Manman' is..."

"Still quibbling!"

Xue Bing's weapon was a knife, but a knife was not meant to be used to cut a loved one, so she used her fists to hit Lu Xiaofeng. She put enough force into each punch, so even her originally fair face turned red.

After half a day, Xue Bing felt much better and left angrily.

Lu Xiaofeng got up from the ground with a bruised face and a disheveled appearance, and stared resentfully at Lu Ping who was eating spicy grilled skewers.

"Come on, come on...boy, tell me clearly who 'Man Man' is. If you don't, don't even think about leaving tonight!"

Who else could it be? I thought of it from the name 'Shaman'...

Lu Ping blinked his eyes: "I think you two must have heard it wrong. What I just said was 'Manman', which means Hua Manlou. We are all friends, so I gave him a nickname that is more intimate, isn't it too much?" Lu Xiaofeng was furious: "You call him Hua Manlou like that? I...ah no, did you get his consent? Besides, you two only met once and had a meal together, how can your relationship be so deep?"

I have never called Hua Man Lou 'Man Man'!
"What else? I already have a 'Xiao Hua' in my circle of friends. I can't call him 'Lao Hua', right? I'm thinking Hua Man Lou seems to be only... a few years old?"

"twenty-three."

You remember it very clearly!
"That's right. Since he's only twenty-three, it's not right to call him 'Old Flower'. If he were twenty like you..."

"Twenty-seven."

You are so cooperative!
"Yes, if you are twenty-seven, it's more like 'presbyopia'..."

This kind of made-up reason naturally could not convince Lu Xiaofeng.

"Okay, okay, I was just joking with you. If you don't feel relieved, you can retaliate in the same way later."

Lu Ping handed over two freshly cooked hot eggs and said, "Here, I asked the boss to cook them just now. Apply them while they're hot, and you'll be better tomorrow."

"You really have foresight!" Lu Xiaofeng took the egg with gritted teeth and covered his eyes with it.

Lu Ping smiled cheerfully: "You're welcome, we're all friends, this is what I should do!"

Lu Xiaofeng was still not satisfied and continued to curse: "How old are you this year, little brat? I don't know how many years it will take for you to find a woman!"

This is really heartbreaking, Lao Lu!

Seeing Lu Ping's face suddenly fall, Lu Xiaofeng finally smiled triumphantly.

Because at this moment he finally figured it out. Lu Ping must have acted like that just now because he was jealous that he had a lover as beautiful as Xue Bing who loved him.

Thinking of this, his anger finally dissipated.

Soon, the two of them sat calmly on the roof of a house, eating the grilled fish, grilled chicken, grilled leeks and grilled oysters they had just bought with relish.

“This boss has good skills.”

"Of course, this is the best street barbecue stall in the capital... But why did you ask me to buy so many grilled leeks and grilled oysters? Shouldn't you buy more meat?"

"I think you'll need to coax Xue Bing tonight."

"..."

After a few simple greetings, Lu Ping began to ask about Lu Xiaofeng's recent situation: "I heard that you and Zhang Jinjiu have been investigating the case of Tianxia Diyizhuang recently? How is it going? Have you made any progress?"

"A little bit, not too much."

"Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you with some advice."

"you?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Lu Ping in surprise and was silent for several seconds, as if wondering whether he could be trusted and whether he was capable of getting involved.

But in the end he chose to believe it.

"That night, the murders, poisonings, and arson were committed by three different groups of people."

Lu Ping nodded, not surprised by this conclusion: "Many people, including me, have speculated on this point before. Please continue with the rest..."

"The whole thing has nothing to do with the Embroidered Thief. He was deliberately dragged into this."

Lu Xiaofeng added: "The reason why he used such an obvious method of 'killing with an embroidery needle' to commit the crime was to divert everyone's attention and let the investigators focus on the embroidery thief."

This matter was also within Lu Ping's expectations.

After all, the ultimate goal of the Embroidery Thief is treasure. Even if he wants to commit a crime, he would not choose such a sensitive period to attract attention, and it is even more impossible for him to choose a place like "The World's No. 1 Village".

In the original novel, the reason why the Embroidery Thief was able to attack the palace storehouse was because Jin Jiuling had been planning for a long time and had the palace's map and personnel work schedule in his hands.

But he didn't have the map, schedule or even the warehouse key of the world's number one manor.

Lu Ping asked, "A few days ago, I heard from Li Xunhuan that Zhang Jinjiu has already identified the person who poisoned the food as the Five Poison Sect. Who do you think is the murderer?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and did not answer.

He actually had an idea in his mind and a candidate, but he felt that if he told others about this candidate and this idea, the news would probably leak out, and he would not be able to investigate further.
