翌日，过了晌午，水街。
明朗的日光照耀在教堂斑驳的遗迹上，闪烁出的莹亮的华彩——雪清婉与许淮闻两人来到了昨日花淳安被绑着的那处西方教堂，在四周勘察着有没有可寻之迹。
This morning, Xu Huaiwen noticed that Xue Qingwan was absent-minded while having breakfast, and he thought she must be troubled by this matter. Therefore, after lunch, he proposed to accompany her and go out together to find some clues.
此刻，昨日的那三具尸体已经被人搬走了，地上唯留下几丝干涸的血迹。许淮闻低身从地上拾起了昨日捆绑花淳安的那条绳子，微眯起了眸子，
"Is there anything strange about this rope?" Xue Qingwan walked out of the ruins of the church and looked at the rope in Xu Huaiwen's hand, asking beside him.
"Look at the diamond-shaped flashing pattern on it," he handed the rope to Xue Qingwan, "this rope is specifically used to restrict individuals with internal strength from displaying their martial arts."
Xue Qingwan took the rope and noticed that its texture was indeed different from ordinary ropes. She furrowed her brows slightly and said, "They sealed the acupoints and used this kind of power-restricting rope. These people are truly meticulous."
"This rope is not something that ordinary people can obtain. It seems that the perpetrator has a rather influential background."
The two of them searched every corner of this courtyard, including the interior of the church, but besides this rope, they found nothing.
"This courtyard is nothing more than a deserted place, without any other traces. It seems to have been used by the perpetrator as a meeting point for the victims," Snow Qingwan swept her gaze over the shattered roof tiles on the ground and recalled the conversation between the two dead assassins and the guardian from yesterday, saying so. With a sudden change of focus, her eyes flickered, and she followed up with a question, "Are all the victims in Ruanan City unrelated and beautiful women?"
“Yes,” Xu Huaiwen replied.
Yue Qingwan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "That's strange. In theory, Chun An also fits the description of being beautiful. Why did they say they captured the wrong person yesterday?" Translated content:
“或许是由于她的公主身份，所以没被划入受害人名列里？”
“不对啊，若是碍于她的公主身份，又为何知道抓错了人，还要杀她灭口呢？”雪清婉百思不得其解。
看着雪清婉纠结的模样，许淮闻轻轻抚了抚她的背，柔声道，“无需太过忧心，我们再去别处找找线索吧。”
"Hmm."
Xu Huaiwen embraced her slender waist, crossed over the high edge of the wall, and returned to the water street where the mask-selling boat was yesterday.
The warm yellow light of noon shone among the sparkling waves, and most of the merchants were resting in their cabins at this time. There were also no hawking voices on the street, except occasionally a flower-selling girl, wearing a straw hat and holding a variety of colorful flowers, who would approach and greet anyone she saw.
“公子哥哥，给姐姐买朵花吧。”小女童见许淮闻和雪清婉走过，上前一步，睁着水汪汪的大眼睛看着许淮闻。
许淮闻本想推辞，但看小女童递上的花黄蕊白瓣很是好看，便买下了一枝。
“谢谢公子哥哥！祝哥哥姐姐百年好合！”小女童欢喜地接过那几个铜板，充分发挥起嘴甜的特性。
许淮闻对她清朗一笑，旋即将这枝花递给了雪清婉，“百年好合。”
Snow Qingwan's cheek twitched slightly. She took the bouquet and mumbled, "No sense of seriousness." Then she walked up to the little girl, slightly stooping down, and gently asked, "Little girl, have you seen any suspicious bad guys around here?"
The little girl raised her eyes and touched her head, thinking for a moment. There was uncertainty in her eyes as she said, "Sister, a few days ago, I seemed to have seen a few people wearing black clothes. They were sneaky and went in the direction of Tao Mansion as if they were up to no good." As she spoke, she pointed to the other waterway on the opposite shore.
"Tao Residence..." a hint of doubt appeared in Xue Qingwan's eyes, but it quickly dissipated. She smiled gently at the little girl and said, "Thank you, here's a gift for you." Xue Qingwan took out a navy blue butterfly hairpin from her clothes and handed it to the young girl. Translated content: "

"Wow, thank you sister!" The little girl happily took the hairpin and ran off to sell flowers elsewhere.
Watching the girl's figure, Xue Qingwan stood up and turned her head, her expression solemn as she looked at Xu Huaiwen. "The Tao Mansion that the little girl mentioned seems to be connected to Dong Liche."
她之所以向一个小姑娘打探消息，一是这卖花的小姑娘经常在附近走动，二是小孩子对陌生的不对劲的面孔比较容易记下。
After listening to the conversation between the little girl and Xue Qingwan, Xuhuai's gaze also became somewhat deep. "Hmm, I know. The master of the Tao Mansion has always been on good terms with Dong Lichao, and I heard he also has a doted daughter."
Yesterday I was up in the tree, and I overheard the kidnappers mention the word 'Miss', could they be referring to Miss Tao from the Tao Residence?" Xue Qingwan said.
It's very likely, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions yet. Let's see if we can find any other clues first. If not, we'll investigate the Tao Residence.
说着，两人继续沿着街道步行。这时，雪清婉注意到了昨日途径的那家衣铺店，店中这时候没什么人，显得有些漆黑，唯有中央那条仙美的幽蓝色裙裾，散发着惑人的微光。
她想起昨日花淳安说的事——再过一个月就是许淮闻的生辰了。
倘若……她能穿上这件裙子一舞，是不是也能让许淮闻心生欢喜呢……
思绪转瞬即逝，被街道前的不远处传来一阵喧嚣所打乱，接着是一大片瓦罐破碎的声音，在这祥和的午后显得格外刺耳。
"Let's go and take a look," Snow Qingwan nodded, and the two walked towards the commotion.
As they approached, they realized that there were five or six ruffians standing around a large-scale pharmacy. They were shouting that the store sold fake medicines, and throwing baskets of medicine jars onto the street, creating a chaotic scene inside the store. At that moment, one of the ruffians was grabbing the collar of the pharmacy owner, fiercely raising his fist, preparing to strike.
"Please spare the young master's life! Please spare the young master's life!" The owner of the pharmacy trembled with fear, squinting his eyes. The store clerks were held hostage by several thugs, looking at the dilapidated shop, each of them dared to be angry but not speak.
那混混头子看药铺老板被吓得样子，冷哼一声放下了拳头，“让本公子饶命也成，你跪下说，‘这药铺子卖的是害命的假药’，本公子就饶你一命。”
"This... this..." The expression on the medicine shop owner's face was filled with struggle - if it is said that this medicine shop sells fake drugs, wouldn't that offend that important person...
"Hmm? You won't speak, huh? Alright, this young master will make you beg for mercy on your knees!" With that said, the hand gripping the shop owner's collar tightened even more, and a fist was about to be swung.
