I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 175 Are you sure you didn’t catch the wrong person?

When she woke up in a daze, she found that someone had put a black hood on her head and everything in front of her was dark.

When I calm down a little, I can still feel a little bit of faint light.

This is where?

She wanted to take off the hood on her head, only to find that her hands and feet were tied to a chair.

I just wanted to struggle to see if there was any way to escape.

Then I heard the sound of a door opening with a creak.

"Are you sure you didn't arrest the wrong person?"

It was a woman's voice, rather sharp, sounding like a lady in her thirties or forties, and why did it sound a little familiar?

"Of course I'm sure. I've been investigating for quite some time now, and there's no doubt about it. The two shopkeepers of Mingyu Zhai and Ningxiang Pavilion came out to meet him in person that day!"

"This person is the last guest Miss Yu met."

Xin Youran was very familiar with the man's voice. Even through the hood, she could recognize it at once.

How could it be the waiter in Yuemanlou who often greeted her?

As their footsteps got closer, Xin Youran didn't dare to breathe.

Wait, I just learned from their conversation, Miss Yu?

Could it be related to the Jade Hairpin Fairy?

Then the black hood was pulled off forcefully.

"Hehe, Master Xin, I'm sorry for the offense. I'm sorry for the offense."

What caught my eye was the enlarged face of the waiter.

"She's already been kidnapped, why are you still wasting time talking to her?"

Only then did Xin Youran see the woman's face clearly. Uh, isn't this the madam of Luoxianyuan?

How could these two people who have nothing to do with each other get together?

"Little Brother, you can tell me anything at the inn. You don't have to talk like this."

Xin Youran tried her best to smile more naturally, and as she spoke, she gestured to him about the ropes on her hands and feet.

"Tell me! Did you kill Miss Yu?!"

The madam of Luoxianyuan was not vague. She walked straight up and grabbed Xin Youran's hair.

It made her scalp hurt!

"Hey, hey, hey, big sister, please let go."

"Miss Yu is such a beautiful lady, how could I bear to kill her?"

"Besides, I'm just a spice merchant. Why is it so bad? Why is it so bad?"

Xin Youran moved her head in the direction the madam was pulling, so that the pain would be relieved.

But after she said that, the hair on her scalp seemed to loosen a little.

Then she continued to lobby: "Besides, hasn't the Dali Temple already started investigating the cause of Miss Yu's death?"

"If it was really me who did it, they wouldn't have been able to find out long ago. How could it have fallen into your hands?"

At this time, the waiter hurried over and asked the madam to let go.

"Master Xin, that being said, you have a very good relationship with Master Xiahou who works at the Dali Temple. It's possible that he's protecting you!"

Xin Youran: ...

Xiahou Rui, ah Xiahou Rui, you have really screwed me over!

At this moment, the madam couldn't hold it in any longer, her voice tinged with tears. "So much time has passed, and the Dali Temple has taken Miss Yu's body away, with no further news. It all comes down to you officials and businessmen scheming against each other, and in the end, nothing is done!"

"Miss Yu died in such an unclear manner, and my Luoxianyuan has been unable to open to this day!"

"Don't waste your time talking to him. Today is the day you die."

As she spoke, she pulled out a dagger from her bosom, which was shining brightly, and was about to hit Xin Youran with it.

"No, no, no, don't be impulsive, Madam. I really didn't kill Miss Yu. How about this, I help you find the real murderer?"

"Look, if you kill me today and avenge Miss Yu in the wrong way, the real murderer will be at large, and you two may have been thrown in jail. Don't you think this is not worth it?"

"Impossible. You were the only one who entered Miss Yu's boudoir that day. No one else was there. Who else could it be besides you?"

It seems that if they bite her to death, they will be the murderer of Yuzhinxian.

"Okay, okay, okay, how about this? Give me three days. If I don't find the real culprit for you in three days, you can kill me or chop me up as you please."

"What do you two think?"

As expected, Xin Youran's shout woke them up. The two of them exchanged glances, and the madam sheathed her dagger doubtfully. "Are you serious?"

"It's true, it has to be true. Besides, I can run away, but I can't run away from the temple. I just signed a contract with Ming Yu Zhai."

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask the waiter."

The waiter reacted quickly. He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Xin."

Then he gave the madam a signal with his eyes, and he came over and untied the ropes tied around Xin Youran's hands and feet.

It was only when I started to untie it that I realized the rope had already been on the ground for a long time...

He was incredulous. "You, you, you..."

After thinking for a long time, Xin Youran stood up, stretched his muscles, and then rubbed the back of his neck.

Oh, ever since I came here, the back of my neck has been suffering a lot from following her.

If it weren't for these two people in front of her, she would have completely forgotten about the Jade Hairpin Fairy.

"The madam's method is quite adept. I guess many of the girls in your Luoxianyuan were seduced this way, right?"

This made her think of the little one.

I don't know how she was abducted...

It's a good opportunity to trick the madam, maybe she'll give me some clues to find the little one.

She had long heard that there were little girls in Luoxianyuan who were trained from a young age on how to serve men, so that they could get the hang of it faster when they grew up.

The madam's expression was noticeable, and then she evaded the question, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Just three days. If Master Xin fails to fulfill his promise, don't blame us for being rude."

The waiter smiled at Xin Youran, then quickly caught up with the madam.

"I said it couldn't be Mr. Xin's. You are being too careless."

"You think Mr. Xin won't report us to the Dali Temple?"

As their voices gradually faded away, Xin Youran began to look around for where they were.

This is a dilapidated temple.

It was already late at night, and when she saw the hideous-looking statue, she was so scared that she ran out quickly.

It’s over, it’s over. I don’t know how Wei Banban is doing. I wonder if they have already gone to Yuemanlou to look for her.

If they can't find anyone, they will definitely be very anxious.

Only after leaving the dilapidated temple did she realize that she didn't know the way in this desolate wilderness!

What should I do?

In desperation, Xin Youran thought of the special fireworks that Mu Yuan gave her, and she didn't know whether he would come to find her after setting them off.

Never mind, we can only try our best!

Compared to the pitch black outside, it is safer inside the dilapidated temple.

After setting off the fireworks, she squatted against the big pillar in the temple, waiting for Mu Yuan to send someone to find her.

I kept praying in my heart that Mu Yuan would come over soon...

As time passed, the only candlelight in the dilapidated temple seemed to be burning out.

She didn't dare to look at the statue and became more and more frightened.

Until he felt a tall figure completely blocking the light above his head.

She suddenly looked up, and when she saw the man clearly, Xin Youran jumped up excitedly.

Then she threw herself into Mu Yuan's arms.

"Oh, you're finally here!"
