21 The Thief

"Boss, I heard that I was thief?" The visitor not only looked scary, but even his voice was very thick and bold. Seeing the person squatting by the wall, he said with an excited look on his face.

"I heard? Who did you hear? If I hadn't told you, would you know? How clear-headed you would have said that you would have been." The one on the side was thin and small, with high cheekbones and protruding, and looked like a monkey.

"You monkey, are you looking for a beating?" The man with his eyes widened even wider, pinched his fists, and waved it like a demonstration.

"Come on! If you have the ability to fight me, what's the point of just being able to show off your abilities?" As he said, he lifted up his sleeves and set off his posture.

"Can you two calm down for a while? Didn't you see the boss looking for clues?" With a call, the other person next to him showed a two-point bookish spirit. Although he did not raise the volume much, he had some unspeakable courage. At least the two people who were full of gunpowder just now snorted, glared at each other, and then stopped talking about each other, but finally calmed down.

The man with a little bookish atmosphere then looked at the man squatting at the base of the wall and asked softly, "Boss, have you found anything?"

Under the faint light of the angrily wind lamp, you can vaguely see a few footprints left on the base of the wall, small, light and not very distinct.

The man squatting at the base of the wall was wearing dark clothes. In this kind of weather, it was just inside and outside, with wide shoulders and wide back, under the mottled light and shadow, and a face, like a knife and axe, with eyebrows close to the green mountains, eyes like ink paint, and slender and distinctive fingers pointing at the footprints on the wall.

Hearing the question from the people around him, he put his hand back and replied lightly, "It's nothing, it's just a little thief." As he said that, he clapped his hands and stood up, "Let's go!"

"Boss, you won't be on duty tomorrow? In such weather, why not find a tavern and burn two pots of hot wine, and how many of you are happy?" The man with a pair of copper bell eyes has a nickname, Niu Zi. When it comes to wine, his eyes are bright and bright.

"You guys go! I won't go." After saying that, the man called the boss, he had already taken a step.

"I won't go anymore, you can do it yourself!" The man with a little bookish aura was called a scholar, and he showed his attitude and kept up with the boss's pace.

The one who was as thin as a monkey, called Pihou, was yelling the fat shoulders of a cow, and scolded, "You forgot what day you are today, and you dare to let the boss drink. Are you tired of living?"

"What day is this?" Niu Zi glared, "Oh! Didn't I just think that the boss was in a bad mood, so I looked for him to drink and relieve him?"

"Relieve?" Pi Hou snorted, "But our boss's luck has always been surprisingly good, but what's the matter tonight? He actually encountered a thief?"

"If I want to tell you, this place is unlucky. Even if the boss is protected by a golden body, he cannot stop it. That is the boss. He is still safe when he meets a thief. If someone else is replaced, it might be a bloody disaster."

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but shiver.

Then, he accelerated his pace at the same time and almost trotted out of General Mingwei's mansion.

After leaving General Mingwei's mansion, they took a slow step. The two of them gasped and looked at each other again.

Pi Hou wiped her sweat, "Don't you want to drink? Are you still going?"

"Go and go! Of course you have to go!" The two brothers were so happy, they walked away with their arms around and forgot that they almost fought.

"Boss, isn't it really nothing?" On the other side, the scholar followed the boss back to the courtyard. After all, he couldn't help it.

The boss was carrying a pot of water to boil it. Hearing this, his movements did not stop. He still put the pot on the stove as usual, but he said in a deep voice, "Looking at the figure, it looks like a child, and I don't know the man and woman for the time being. I am very familiar with General Mingwei's mansion. As soon as I arrived, I went straight into Gu Huan's embroidery building and took things from the wall in her room. It took less than a quarter of an hour from entering to escaping."

In other words, the thief knew that there was a wall there early in the morning, and that there was something in the wall, even for that thing, with clear goals, so he acted very quickly.

As for just saying that one looks like a child, without directly concluding that it is a child, it is because there are many talented people in the world, and a body looks like a child, not necessarily a child.

What's more, if it's a child, how can you easily lose the boss?

"Do you suspect that this person and Miss Gu San are acquaintances?"

The boss shook his head, "It's hard to say. But now at this time, who would enter General Mingwei's mansion? What did you take away from Gu Huan's room?"

General Mingwei's mansion has long been investigated, and the thing must be hidden so that it can be preserved.

However, Gu Huan's situation in General Mingwei's Mansion shouldn't have anything important in her room.

The more the man thought about it, the more confused he felt, "It seems that I have to go to Nandu tomorrow. It just so happens that I will not be on duty tomorrow and the next two days."

The scholar opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he reached his mouth, he swallowed it again and turned into a erratic sigh.

In the pot on the stove, the water was rolling, gurgling, and the bubbles were freshly bubbling...

Ye Xinyi only slept for less than an hour last night, but when he woke up early this morning, he was still full of energy.

Thinking of the things she retrieved last night, I couldn't control my mood and raised the corners of my mouth.

He laughed, and was very happy. Ye Chuanbai laughed for no reason, and his scalp was a little numb, "Why are you laughing at me? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Ye Xinyi is in a good mood and doesn't want to bother with the awkward brat.

"You are here, I have something to ask you." Ye Xinyi said, and also glanced at the doorway connected to the shop in front of him. After thinking about it, he pulled Ye Chuanbai aside.

Being confused by her actions, Ye Chuanbai's eyebrows and eyes were full of suspicion.

Ye Xinyi asked in a low voice, "Do you know who bought the mountain before our house?"

Ye Chuanbai was even more puzzled, "What are you asking for?" It made it so mysterious.

"You want to care?" Ye Xinyi glared at him, "You just said you know or don't know!" She regretted it a little, and shouldn't have asked Ye Chuanbai. However, Ye Shulan didn't know, and she didn't want to make Ye Shi'an suspicious. Except for Ye Chuanbai, she couldn't expect anyone else to ask.

Ye Chuanbai was choked by these words, but after all, the siblings got along well during this period. Although they were in the relationship they needed, Ye Chuanbai felt that it was very good and did not want to offend her for the time being.

After a moment of contemplation, she replied as she wished, "It was originally for Yaxing, but I heard that it seemed that it was bought by Liang Shen."
