Venereal disease, Xiao Mubei already had an idea in his mind. Six people were missing, but no one reported it to the police, which meant that they were not decent girls. So where would so many girls gather? And they were all women who had lost their virginity, so the answer was self-evident.

The fabrics of the women's clothes were all high-quality materials, and judging from the two women whose looks could still be seen, these women were all good-looking, which showed that they were all of high social status. In brothels, these women usually served wealthy men.

This makes sense. The people who bought the landscape stones were either rich or noble, and the people these women received were also from wealthy families. This means that the murderer must have a prominent family background, or at least his family is very wealthy.

Chu Yunxi also wrote in the autopsy report that one of the women had an iris tattoo on her wrist, and she asked Bai Yu to draw it accordingly, so that it would be easier to find the person.

Another woman had a broken leg bone, which was not aligned when it healed. She should have a slight limp when she walked fast, which is also a very obvious feature.

The other four people don't have any obvious characteristics, so we can only investigate them based on the missing persons information. Maybe we can find out their identities by following the clues.

Xiao Mubei called Li Jinghong, asked him to take the tattoo pattern, and arranged for people to visit major brothels in Beijing.

Chu Yunxi didn't dare to sleep too long. She still had to treat Li's mother in the morning. She was worried about this matter and couldn't sleep well. She got up after sleeping for two hours.

Fortunately, now she has Hongyu, and she only needs to go over and give the patient an acupuncture treatment. Hongyu has been practicing the acupuncture technique with an eggplant these past two days. She practices acupuncture whenever she has free time. She wants to master it quickly so that she can help Chu Yunxi share her worries, but she can't master it so quickly.

After Chu Yunxi finished prescribing medicine for Li's mother, she remembered that she hadn't seen Yue Yanran for two or three days, so she asked Hongyu, "What is Yanran doing recently?"

Hongyu was still practicing acupuncture with her hands, saying, "Reading books. She is very diligent, getting up early and going to bed late every day to read. When you are not here, she will ask people for help when she encounters words she doesn't know. Not many servants in the mansion can read, so she pesters Butler Ling."

As expected, Chu Yunxi was secretly delighted. She felt that Yue Yanran could be taught. After thinking for a while, she said, "You should keep her with me from now on. I plan to treat her brain."

Hongyu looked up in astonishment, "Can her brain be cured?"

"I don't know, but try it, it's better than doing nothing."

Hongyu nodded hurriedly, "Okay, then I will take care of her from now on. It would be best if she can be cured."

Yue Yanran is soft, sweet and cute. Hongyu likes her quite a bit and hopes that she can get better.

Chu Yunxi had nothing to do here, so she went back to the Dali Temple. As soon as she entered the door, she ran into Hei Mu. As soon as Hei Mu saw her, he immediately came up to her and said, "Miss, the prince is looking for you. He said that there is news about Doctor Du."

Chu Yunxi immediately quickened her pace. Xiao Mubei was in the study. When he saw Chu Yunxi, he stood up and said, "The people who were watching Tongxin Hall reported that Doctor Du returned to Tongxin Hall half an hour ago."

"Then let's go find her now."

Chu Yunxi left as soon as she said she would. Xiao Mubei was used to her decisiveness and left with her.

The two of them went straight to Tongxin Hall on West Fourth Street. As expected, Tongxin Hall was open. Perhaps because it had just opened, there were no customers yet. A woman was sweeping the floor. When she saw them, she said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll go get Doctor Du after I finish sweeping the floor."

"We are not here to see a doctor. We are from the Dali Temple and we want to ask Doctor Du something." Chu Yunxi stated her identity straight away.

The woman was startled and said, "It's the official. I'll go and inform the master."

Chu Yunxi stopped her and said, "Take us directly to see Doctor Du. These things are not suitable to be discussed here."

The woman didn't dare to refuse and had to take them to the backyard. Chu Yunxi looked at Tongxin Hall as they walked. The layout and structure here were different from Jinyu Hall. There was a small courtyard in the back and also a two-story building. However, this building was separated from the front hall, and it felt like the hustle and bustle was isolated outside. The backyard was very quiet.

The woman walked to the door of the wing on the right and said, "Master, a distinguished guest has arrived."

After a while, a slightly vicissitudes of life female voice came out, "Come in."

The woman pushed open the door and made a gesture for invitation. Chu Yunxi bowed slightly in return and then walked into the room. Xiao Mubei also nodded slightly to the woman and followed Chu Yunxi in.

As soon as she entered the room, Chu Yunxi smelled the scent of burning incense. She looked closely and found that this room was not a bedroom, but a small Buddhist temple. At this moment, a woman was kneeling on a cushion, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, chanting scriptures softly, and burning incense and worshiping Buddha devoutly!

"Are you Doctor Du?" Chu Yunxi spoke first.

Doctor Du then opened his eyes, looked Chu Yunxi up and down, and nodded, "It's me, who is the lady?"

"We are from the Dali Temple. We would like to ask Doctor Du something. Is it convenient for Doctor Du to come?"

Doctor Du looked to be around 46 or 47 years old. She was in good shape. Apart from some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her entire face was wrinkle-free. And from her face, it was clear that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

However, her whole temperament was very cold. From the moment she entered the door until now, she had no smile at all. She was so cold and indifferent, "Ask whatever you want to ask."

She didn't let Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei sit down either, so the two of them could only sit down consciously. They poured themselves a cup of tea. Chu Yunxi took a sip before she spoke: "Doctor Du, do you know Doctor Yan from Jinyutang?"

Doctor Du narrowed his eyes, turned the Buddhist beads in his hand half a circle, and then uttered a low "hmm" through his nose.

Chu Yunxi felt relieved. She guessed right. As expected.

"What is your relationship with Doctor Yan?"

Doctor Du was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "He and I run a clinic on the same street, so we are naturally competitors."

Chu Yunxi looked into her eyes, but she closed them again and began to chant scriptures again.

Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Mubei, and Xiao Mubei winked at her, indicating that she should look at the incense table. Chu Yunxi followed Xiao Mubei's gaze and her scalp suddenly jumped.

On the incense table, behind the three incense sticks, there was a tablet with "Yan Haosong's Spirit Tablet" written on it.

Chu Yunxi knew everything about Doctor Yan. She remembered it clearly. Doctor Yan's name was Yan Haosong!

Doctor Du was blatantly lying! No, she wasn't lying either. They did run clinics on the same street, so it was not wrong to say they were competitors, but she was obviously avoiding the main point.
