Chapter 40: Failure
"Little beauty, it's hard for you to spend so much effort to set up my master. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If it weren't for that stunned Qing to explore the way, I would have almost been fooled. I remember you, hahaha......" The man laughed condescendingly and arrogantly. Let Hua Lianyue, Huo Lianjue was so angry that he almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.
The people who were originally guarding Wu Qingfeng in the house heard the movement outside and ran out to find out.
I saw Huo Lianjue raise his hand and point to the wall, and shouted violently: "The person on the wall is the real thief, catch him ......"
Thieves are still true and fake?
Still looking confused, Ye Catcher led the officials who drew their waist knives one after another, caught quickly, shouted and chased after him. The man laughed, stepped on the roof tiles, and leaped away like an ape.
The noisy courtyard soon fell silent, but the faint, blue-like musk fragrance never completely dissipated.
Hua Lianyue took a deep breath and felt that this fragrance was very familiar. So she twitched the tip of her nose, searched for the scent, and walked quickly to the base of the wall. She crouched among the withered flowers and plants and searched for a few moments, and finally picked up something.
"What did you find?" Huo Lianjue paced over.
"I don't know, it's a bit like an eyebrow stone!" Hua Liyue picked up a black stick, slightly longer than an adult's palm. One is thick and the other is thin, exuding a faint strange fragrance, which is indeed a bit like an eyebrow stone used for women's thrushes.
The general eyebrow stone, also known as graphite, is a dye used for women's thrushes. Grinding like ink, picking it up, there is no special smell.
Huo Lianjue took it and took a look, then handed it back with no interest, and said casually: "This is the Drunken Red Mansion, and most of the people who live there are young women, so it's not strange to have an eyebrow stone." If you look around a little further, you might find a bunch of used rouge boxes, toothless grates, and scratched bronze mirrors. ”
"It's really strange, it's the first time I've seen a scented eyebrow stone!" Hua Liyue is very sensitive to smells, she put the eyebrow stone under her nose and sniffed it carefully, the more she smelled it, the more familiar this fragrance became.
Hua Liyue racked her brains and tried to think about where she had smelled this fragrance. Suddenly, she slapped her head and exclaimed, "This, this thing is the thief's thing!"
"How can you be sure that the thief left it?" Huo Lianjue frowned, took it from her hand again, and sniffed it carefully as she did.
"Because I used to smell this smell...... "Hua Lianyue told Huo Lianjue about her discovery.
Some time ago, she got drunk in Wufu Building. When I woke up the next day, I had smelled this strange scent like an orchid and musk deer in my room. At that time, she thought it was the fat powder fragrance left by a maid next to Li Ruolan. Because she remembered in a trance that she seemed to have smelled this smell in Li Ruolan's room, she didn't think much about it.
Now that she thinks about it carefully, the first time she smelled this fragrance was when she bumped into the thief in Li Ruolan's room that night. Plus this time, it's already the third time. So she can conclude that this eyebrow stone was left by the thief nine times out of ten.
In particular, she was depressed to find that the flower thief had come to the Li Mansion again when she didn't know it. It's just that for some reason, his goal has changed from Li Ruolan to himself. Thinking of this, she stomped her feet in annoyance, hating herself for not realizing it later, and not realizing it earlier.
It's just that this thief's light skills are too good, and the big double was guarding Li Ruolan's room at that time. He and Xiaoshuang both drank wine, and their vigilance was greatly reduced, and they didn't even notice that someone had come in in the middle of the night. As for the catchers who stayed outside the Li Mansion, they have completely become decorations.
Is this an overall dereliction of duty?
Alas, it's not that our strength is too weak, it's that the enemy is too cunning!
"You mean, this thief once walked around your room and then left without doing anything?" Huo Lianjue lifted the eyebrow stone in his hand, but his tone was full of suspicion. Not only did he not understand, but even Hua Liyue didn't figure it out.
He is a flower thief! He should steal incense and jade, be lewd and shameless, and do all kinds of evil. Who has ever seen such a flower thief who comes quietly, walks quietly, and waves his hand without taking away a cloud. Is he risking being caught, just to get over his addiction? Isn't he sick?
Thinking of this, Huo Lianjue's bright eyes looked back and forth on Hua Lianyue's body with malicious intent.
Hua Lianyue looked ignorant at first, and then thought of something. She blushed her little face, pinched her waist, straightened her not very plump chest, and said angrily: "What do you see, although this girl is not called the national beauty and fragrance, she can be regarded as handsome and beautiful." Isn't it qualified to be remembered by flower thieves?"
When he said this, Huo Lianjue suddenly chuckled and said, "Enough, enough, of course enough!"
Hua Lianyue rolled her eyes and said, "You don't need to be hypocritical, I naturally know." Before the words came out, Hua Lianyue herself felt a little weird. She scratched her head, met his innocent eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud.
The two stood in the cold and windy night again, and each pondered for a long time. Hua Lianyue suddenly slapped her head and exclaimed, "That flower thief can't be a woman, right?"
"What are you thinking!" Huo Lianjue knocked on her angrily and said, "No matter the figure or the tone of his voice just now, where does that person look like a woman?"
"Maybe he has the appearance of a man and the heart of a girl!" Hua Lianyue shook the things in her hand and said with a sly face: "Otherwise, why would he carry this fragrant eyebrow stone everywhere he goes?"
"Silly girl, if you can't figure it out, give up!" Huo Lianjue looked at her sympathetically and said, "If you think about it again, I'm afraid that my brain will be broken....."
Hua Lianyue: "......"
Not long after, Ye Zhutou came back with all the officials, and the catcher came back quickly and grayly.
Hua Lianyue jumped forward anxiously, and asked again and again if she had caught someone?
Ye Zhutou was annoyed, all he practiced was hard skills, and a steel knife was vigorous. As for the lofty kung fu of "light work", I have never touched it at all.
Originally, Dashuang's light skills could still compete with the thief, but it was a pity that she and Xiaoshuang were left in the house to guard Wu Qingfeng. So this group of yamen officials who could only run on the ground watched the flower thief who liked to take the unusual path go away in style.
Everyone returned to the room dejectedly, and saw that "Ye Wushuang" had washed off the disguise on his face, revealing his true face.
Hua Lianyue stepped forward with a smile and said, "Ah Tong, thank you!"
Only a woman like Ah Tong, who is already doing good work, can learn the flying dance in just fifteen days. Maybe it's not worth mentioning in Wu Qingfeng's eyes, but it can definitely bluff the vast majority of people.
"No, it's just a trivial matter!" Ah Tong peeked at Wu Qingfeng, whose eyes were breathing fire, and whispered to Hua Lianyue: "Is this person really the flower thief you want to catch?"
Hua Lianyue had a smiling face, and suddenly collapsed......
