"My head is so dizzy......" Xiao Zishan woke up from his dream and felt very uncomfortable. He has slept well in recent days, and the Guangzhou of the Ming Dynasty not only has fresh air, but also does not have the roar of cars in the morning. Sleep was very sweet.

In the early days of crossing trade, everyone did not dare to spend the night in the Ming Dynasty time and space, and they would have to leave before nightfall, preferring to come back the next day. Now, as their business and connections become more and more consolidated, there are more and more things to do in the Ming Dynasty. In order to prolong the life of the wormhole, it is already common to live for a few days after crossing over. What's more, these days, you can still live a decadent life of eating to open your mouth and clothes to stretch your hands, which is a bit of a pleasure.

Today's head is very heavy, barely open his eyes, and the sun is already shining outside the screen window after the rain. It looks like it's almost ten o'clock. He couldn't help but feel strange, there was no TV and Internet in this time and space, and even if everyone was discussing and chatting together, they all fell asleep early, so they woke up every morning to seven o'clock in the evening. Why is it so late today?

Standing up, he glanced around the room, surprised. The room was in a mess, almost all the chests of drawers had been opened, and things were thrown around.

Thief!

This thought immediately reflected in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel worried, the money and goods exchanged for this trade were still piled up in the house! If...... He couldn't imagine it. Hurry up and get dressed and put on your shoes - suddenly you find that your socks and travel shoes are gone! What a thief! There were a few pairs of straw slips in the house, so I quickly put on my feet and came out in my clothes.

As soon as he went out, he saw Bei Wei rushing out of the house, Xiao Zishan noticed that there was also a pair of casual shoes on his feet, and his combat boots were missing!

"Something's wrong!" Bei Wei's words were concise and to the point.

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Wen is gone!"

"What!" This can scare Xiao Zishan's hands and feet cold. Mr. Wen is gone! This is not the Guangzhou of the 21st century: Mr. Wen ran out to recognize people everywhere, and the police in the safest city in the country - Guangzhou in the 17th century, they didn't recognize anyone when they went out. I don't even know how to get there.

The two of them ran all the way to inspect one by one, Wang Gong was still sleeping soundly, and then went to the lower room in the courtyard for the third time, Gao Qing's family and Sun Chang also slept deeply. Quickly woke everyone up, they were still dizzy and nauseous. Gao Lujie and her brother and sister Gao didn't even wake up when they shouted, and they were at a loss, and Sun Chang came up with the idea of washing his face with cold water.

"Master Xiao, things are not good." Sun Chang watched Gao Qing's family hurriedly fetch water for everyone. One by one, they felt a little sober.

"What?!"

"It's obvious that you've fallen for the incense."

"Miao?" Somehow, the first word that crossed Xiao Zishan's mind was Sun Erniang.

"It's a miscellaneous." Sun Chang escaped from his hometown and begged all the way to Guangzhou, where he saw a lot of things on the rivers and lakes, "Do you have something to lose?" ”

These words reminded them, and the two of them ran wildly to the west wing of the middle courtyard. Because the house was used as an important storehouse and crossing point, the Executive Committee made some non-space-time modifications here, using bricks to build the windows and redundant doors, not to mention the redundant doors, and making a separate fortified room on all sides with steel fences and security doors wrapped with barbed wire. Xiao Zishan saw that the padlock of the wooden door outside had disappeared, and knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly pushed the door in, the iron grille and the security door were safe and sound, and a car full of goods was also piled up. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the thieves did not succeed. This 21st century anti-theft measure is still effective. The problem is that they lost Mr. Wen! This is worse than the loss of goods and silver and gold. Money can always be earned back, and it is difficult to say that such a big living person was lost in the Ming Dynasty.

"Who took Mr. Wen away?" Xiao Zishan's brain is running like a windmill, is this an accidental event or a deliberate event? Hardly. said that it was a deliberate plan, only the people of the Gao family knew that they were here, and they had no other contact with the entire Guangzhou City, what was the point of the Gao family's people kidnapping Mr. Wen? If it was an accident, could it be that some thief entered the house to make money, so he simply tied up Mr. Wen's ticket? It's also possible.

The three of them walked around Mr. Wen's room for a long time, but they didn't see anything, Mr. Wen's clothes, shoes and hats were gone, and even the stab-proof vest, anti-wolf spray, and electric shocker that he had to bring every time he crossed were gone.

After watching it for a long time, Xiao Zishan couldn't help but say:

"Lao Bei, do you see what's coming? Aren't you a scout. ”

Bei Wei spread his hands: "I'm a scout, but not a scout, I have to be a criminal investigator." ”

"Let's find someone who is doing criminal investigation. Ran Yao used to work as a police officer. Xiao Zishan remembered.

"Then hurry up and find him, and bring a few more for those reasoning maniacs who like to mess around in the reasoning area." Wang Gong saw that Gao Xian was about to come in and clean up the house, and immediately shouted: "Don't move, protect the scene!" Frightened, Gao Xian hurriedly ran away.

After discussion, Wang Gong first took the goods and money back, reported the matter to the executive committee, and then summoned a few professionals to come over to inspect the traces, and Xiao Zishan and Beiwei continued to stay here to investigate.

Xiao Zishan called Gao Qing's family and Zhao Chang to interrogate if anything special had happened these days, including Gao Zhai's. After asking for a long time, I only knew from Zhao Chang's mouth: Recently, a "little Yang father-in-law" in Beijing was coming to visit Master Gao, and Master Gao seemed to have something on his mind.

When Gao Qing learned about this, he became more and more sad, and hid in the front yard alone to sweep the floor. However, Sun Chang was much calmer, and came up to say: "There is no need to worry about this matter for a while, the thief will tie up Master Wen, and he will naturally send someone to send a letter." When the time comes, it will either be reported to the official or ransomed, and the old man can do it again. ”

"Reporter?" Xiao Zishan smiled bitterly, they are all "illegal immigrants", how can they provoke the Ming government, not to mention that he knows the ancient public security management thinking, not to mention that it is not a big case of murder by open fire, and the government is too lazy to care. Unless you spend a lot of money - it might as well be ransom.

"Yes," Zhao Chang said in a low voice, "The old man is not a Ming person, and it is inconvenient to come out, so you can ask the old man Gao to come forward, and the government will send someone to deal with it privately." He glanced at Xiao Zishan, "Master Gao can talk around in one prefecture and two counties. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Zishan was noncommittal, but he was suspicious in his heart, everything was normal when Zhao Chang didn't come, and Mr. Wen disappeared after a few days of coming......

As he was groaning, Bei Wei walked in. Zhao Chang hurriedly retreated.

"Traces found!"

"Oh? Where. Xiao Zishan was in good spirits.

"This group came in from the path behind the third entrance to the courtyard over the wall. Many tiles were pulled off from the eaves, and they all fell to the ground. There are also traces of friction on the walls. ”

"Going out too?"

"Yes, it's the same way back. I looked elsewhere and there was no trace of going over the wall. ”

"I remember Master Gao said that the path behind this is locked by wooden gates at various intersections, and ordinary people can't enter."

"I don't think they came in from there," Mr. Bei said, "and the road in front of them is too conspicuous." If only I had come from the wall. ”

"The city walls?"

"Yes. The backyards of the houses here are next to the city walls. Bei Wei nodded, "Although there is no ramp up and down, there is almost no one walking on the city wall, as long as you can go up, it is simply a highway around the city." ”

"Yes, yes, it's very likely!"

"The day before yesterday, someone tried to sneak in and eavesdrop, and I shot a stone to get out, and the man also fled in the direction of the city wall. I think it's probably the same group. ”

"It seems to be premeditated, but who would do that?"

"I don't know. All in all, we have to get Mr. Wen back first. Wait for a professional to come and see before making a decision. ”

"Okay, we also have to inform Gao Ju and ask him to help find someone, he is a local snake and is familiar with people."

"Could it have something to do with exaltation?"

"It's unlikely, what's the benefit to him of kidnapping Mr. Wen?"

"You can't be on guard. I'll look around again, but it's a pity that my dagger is gone! "The North Latitude was furious, this dagger had been bought at a high price from the Sword Net - and now it was gone with his 3515 02 combat boots.

Xiao Zishan repeatedly speculated about the cause and effect in the study. No matter how you think about it, Master Gao's suspicion is the greatest, after all, only Master Gao knows that they live here. But what is the motivation? Xiao Zishan is convinced that everything in this shijie is motivated. What did he want by doing so? If he extorted money, he was already making a lot of money in his current trading activities. Obviously, it doesn't make sense, or he wants to take Mr. Wen as a hostage to ensure the exclusive monopoly of all Australian goods in the future, which is possible. But there is no need to go through such a lot of effort, jumping over the wall, and using incense.

Jumping over the wall, incense ......

Speaking of which, is this still the work of the characters in the rivers and lakes?

Xiao Zishan seemed to understand a little. He called Zhao Chang in.

"Are you familiar with the city fox society rat in Guangzhou City?"

"Not familiar," Zhao Changyu said, "The little one is not a local, and he is not a Cantonese, and the small one has been working in a high house, and the Gao family is very strict with the background of the family members in the house, and those who are involved in the three religions and nine streams will not be accepted." ”

Xiao Zishan nodded, and this self-confession also largely dispelled his suspicions. Zhao Chang hesitated for a while, and seemed to have something to say. Xiao Zishan said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I don't need to be suspicious here, and I don't doubt it." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Chang was encouraged and said, "The little one has an idea. ”

"Say it."

"In this Nanhai County, there is a powerful dart bureau." Zhao Chang said, "It's a small dart bureau, and the dart road is not a factory, but they have a specialty, which is to sit in the store." ”

"Sitting?"

"Yes, the lord probably doesn't know, the merchants who open the shop are always harassing and blackmailing for the street gangsters, so they ask the dart master to sit in the store and press it."

"It's the security guard." Xiao Zishan understood.

Zhao Chang didn't know what a security guard was, so he said "yes" and continued:

"The dart master sitting in the shop is very familiar with the situation of urban gangsters, and if you ask them for help, you will definitely find out the news. If it's just an ordinary city fox society rat, you can ask them to save people. ”

Note: The dart game business of sitting in the shop was only available in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty. Haven't heard of it anywhere else. Moreover, the dart board industry generally appeared during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. I thought that with the commodity economy of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, it would be impossible to have similar industries or organizations, but I couldn't find the information for a while, so I used the data of the Qing Dynasty.
