Chapter 246: The Woman Who Blocked the Way
It's a breezy day, but it's perfect for going out and strolling.
Li Le glanced at the sun, waved his hand helplessly, and asked the person on the side to take the umbrella.
"Yo, this is going to have an umbrella? I've never seen you so noble before, and the sun is coming out in the west? ”
Shen Sheng seemed to have discovered a new continent, and although his mouth jumped off, he still obediently went to get the umbrella.
"The weather is so hot, if you don't use an umbrella, you will faint in the sun, don't blame me for leaving you on the street."
Li Le glanced at him angrily, then took the umbrella and went out.
Although it is still quite shady, but after three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is afraid that it can be so hot that it can peel off a layer of skin.
She glanced back, and saw that Shen Sheng really didn't take her words seriously, so she shook her head with a smile, but quickly came over.
"That Dali Siqing doesn't know, the rest can only be checked by us, the news you got earlier is that the thief was arrested in the bazaar, right?"
The person who had been following behind him heard her question, and hurriedly walked two steps to follow, and when he heard her ask, he nodded: "That market happens to be not far from the Hou Mansion, which is the East Market." ”
"Higashi?"
Li Le raised her eyebrows, she didn't have the impression that there were many things in the East Market, and although the East Market was close, they rarely went there to buy things.
She pursed her lips, there was something strange about it.
It is impossible for thieves not to know how lively the West Market is, as long as they are thieves, they must like to pick a place with many people.
Who knew that this thief actually picked the East Market where there was no one, and that's it, he deliberately picked it at noon, when there was no one in the East Market.
Does he think he has great means and can't be caught?
Li Le was pondering all the way, and she didn't even respond when Shen Sheng called her several times.
"Miss, don't wander, it's here." Shen Sheng helplessly raised his hand to stop her, lest she bump into someone else's stall, and smiled at the strange-looking shopkeeper.
"Where's the store where the stolen items were?" Li Le came back to his senses and smiled a little embarrassedly.
She has been entangled in everything these days, and she is almost inseparable, and now she just wants to solve the current matter quickly, so that she can find Mu Changjin.
"It's been a long time ago." Shen Sheng shook his head and sighed, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
Everyone can see that Li Le's recent state is really not good, and on the way to take her over, Shen Sheng tried to speak: "Why don't I leave this matter to someone else?" ”
"I'll just come." Li Le waved his hand, and the sun came out, and the figure of the person shining was slightly oblique.
Seeing Shen Sheng nodding, she asked the shopkeeper in front of her, "Boss, did someone steal your things here a few days ago?" ”
The store was putting the goods on display, and when he heard someone asking, he looked up suspiciously, and saw that the person who asked was a bright and bright-toothed girl, with a little puzzled face, but in a kind tone: "Yes, is there something wrong with the girl?" ”
Li Le nodded, and said with a smile: "I'm from the other side of the government, and I want to come and ask about something." ”
Seeing that she didn't look like she was looking for trouble, the shopkeeper saw Shen Sheng pick up the token in his hand and shake it, so he nodded: "The villain knows everything." ”
"How did you see the thief?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while, raised his hand and pointed to the goods next to him: "What he wants to steal is under my nose, do you think this person is a fool?" ”
The shopkeeper scratched his head, and his face was confused and puzzled for a while: "It's the same as blatant, it's the first time I've seen such an arrogant thief, but it's also possible that he just wants to steal, and it's time to pay at the end of the month." ”
Hearing his description, Li Le was a little dumbfounded, she turned her head and glanced at Shen Sheng, her eyes flashing with surprise.
"Anything else, was there anything unusual at the time?"
Though...... This one is already quite abnormal.
The shopkeeper frowned, recalling with some difficulty, and didn't remember it for a while.
Just when Li Le sighed hopelessly and was about to leave, he only heard the shopkeeper slap his palm as if he suddenly realized: "It's a little strange to say, when I caught him, he didn't run, just stood there." ”
After he described it carefully, Li Le thanked him, left two taels of silver for the store, bought two small things, and pulled Shen Sheng away.
At that time, when the shopkeeper pressed the thief to the ground and asked people to report to the official, they did not make noise or make a noise, and just waited quietly.
When three or two officials arrived, the thief looked extremely excited, as if someone had come to save him rather than arrest him.
Before leaving, he almost kowtowed to the store in gratitude.
"It's as if the man was more than willing to be taken away."
In the end, the words summarized by the shopkeeper kept echoing in Li Le's mind, she pinched her chin and thought as she walked, sensing that the sun was getting stronger and stronger, so she opened the umbrella in her hand.
"It's really strange, on this hot day, what do you want to do and go to the government for a day trip?"
Shen Sheng was so hot that he kept fanning the wind with his hands, and he almost took off his clothes.
He looked at Li Le with envy, and saw that she had no intention of putting him with an umbrella, so he simply stepped forward cheekily.
"Look at your umbrella is so big, or ......"
"Who said I was noble when I went out?" Li Le looked at him hunched over and bowed with a smile, and reluctantly raised the umbrella a little higher.
Seeing this, Shen Sheng simply took the umbrella over so that she would not get tired of raising her hands.
"I always felt that things were not simple, and just what the store said seemed like a deliberate theft."
Li Le looked around, she was a little hesitant to ask the people around her about the situation, after all, everyone present could be regarded as witnesses.
The weather was so hot that it could dry people, and the two of them were already sweating after standing under the sun for a while.
Li Le wiped the sweat from his forehead, and pulled the people around him to the side to stand in the shade to rest.
"It's a hot day, what's going on in the thief's head."
Li Le glanced at him, then raised his hand and pointed to the vendor selling porcelain on the side: "Go over and ask this family, shouldn't you come out today without any gains." ”
She was now able to determine what the thief was secret, and the whole thing was inexplicably weird.
Li Le felt as if she had vaguely felt something, but the thoughts ran too fast, and before she could catch them, they had quietly disappeared.
Shen Sheng spread his hands helplessly, and when the two were about to pass, a woman suddenly burst out in front of him, making Shen Sheng subconsciously draw his sword.
After seeing that the person in front of him was an ordinary woman, the two looked at each other, and Shen Sheng slowly removed his hand from the scabbard of his sword.
Li Le looked at the person in front of him carefully, the woman's hair was a little messy, beads of sweat were slipping down the corners of her forehead, and the ups and downs of her chest were a little violent, and it could be seen that she was in a hurry.
The woman spread her hands and blocked their way, her eyes full of anxiety, as if something extremely important had happened.
She was stunned for a moment, glanced at Shen Sheng, and decided to wait patiently for the woman to speak.
"First, wait first!"
Finally, the woman gasped for breath and opened her mouth to block.
She heard that someone from the government had come to investigate the matter, so she hurried over.
Shen Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Who are you and what do you have to say?" If it is arbitrarily blocked, you must know that this is delaying our case and delaying the time limit, so I will ask you. ”
He already looked a little fierce and vicious, and when he said this, ordinary people would subconsciously tremble when they heard it, let alone a weak woman?
His words were coercive and tempting, and the woman's face turned pale with fright, and she looked at Li Le for help: "But I, I really can't find anyone......
As the woman spoke, her eyes turned red, and her eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't say anything about the key points.
She stumbled, as if she was deliberately hiding something, but she didn't care if they would know what she was hiding.
Li Lechang sighed: "If you have anything to tell me, don't pay attention to him." ”
She said soothingly, then glared at Shen Sheng.
Look at the little girl who scares people!
Shen Sheng rubbed his nose embarrassedly, turned his head away boringly, and hummed a little song.
The woman's face was a little tangled, she pursed her lips, opened her mouth to say something, but before she could say anything, the next moment she seemed to think of something, her face turned pale, and she closed her mouth.
Shen Sheng was a little impatient: "If there is nothing important, don't stand in our way, don't you understand this girl?" ”
The weather was hot and dry, and Shen Sheng's already boring heart was now even more impatient, so he simply waved his hand, wanting to pull Li Le away.
As a result, before he could make a move, he noticed a pain in his lower back.
He gasped in pain, bared his teeth and looked over, it was Li Le who poked the big hole in his waist.
"Grandma, you just talk, what are you doing with your hands?" Shen Sheng's waist was sore and painful, beating his waist bone with one hand, and holding an umbrella with the other, which was really a little embarrassing.
Li Le glanced at him, then looked at the woman good-naturedly, and smiled gently: "Don't bother with him, if you have anything, just tell me." ”
She reached out and patted the woman's head, and continued to speak soothingly: "Don't worry, if you have anything to say, just say it, we won't embarrass you." ”
But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see her speak, Li Le thought about it, and his mind was clear.
What's so hard to say? Or, if what she says is heard by others, what will happen?
Li Le pursed her lips, she looked around, and she didn't know what this woman was worried about.
But...... Although there are few people here, who knows if there will be some people squatting in places they can't see, observing their every word and deed.
She felt that what the woman was going to say should be related to what they were going to investigate, and that she would give them some very important hints.
"It's really not a place to talk, so it just so happens that the sun is very hot now, so it's better for a few of us to go to the teahouse to sit."
Li Le curled the corners of his lips and said loudly.
"It just so happens that I'm thirsty too." Shen Sheng also agreed.
Hearing her say this, the woman's eyes lit up and she nodded again and again.
