In ancient times, there were no clocks and other timekeeping instruments, and some were used in the distance, and some were used in the near future, so that the people rose at sunrise and rested in the day, and there was no entertainment at night.

This kind of thing is not something that every household can have, and it is usually placed in the county office, with a special room for storage, and a special person to manage it.

This also gave birth to a profession, that is, a husband.

These husbands, also called watchmen, are usually day and night, all at night, if the night is not peaceful, occasionally there will be some demons or ghosts or chickens and dogs to talk about.

Some adulterers* have private meetings at night, some prodigal troublemakers break into the house and steal the house, etc., and the husband also knows it, so this is a business that is not only despised by others, but also full of topics.

The husband had to make a night watch, and every other hour he would make a watch, some would beat the bang, some would beat the drums, and some would beat the gong.

Just knocking and beating, it is inevitable that people will miss it, and the husband will sometimes shout, and gradually some conventional trumpets have been formed.

For example, in literature, film and television works, it can often be seen that the husband picks a lantern and knocks on the gong, but shouts in his mouth, the weather is dry and dry, be careful of the fire and candles.

It's a dry day, be careful of the candles, usually at the end of the day, that is, from seven to nine o'clock in the evening, so it's pure nonsense to shout in the middle of the night on the TV.

The old woman said that the three watches, that is, at 11 o'clock to one o'clock at night, also called midnight, usually means that the night is deep, everyone has slept, at this time the gloomy atmosphere is the heaviest, the husband in order to strengthen the courage, but also to pray for blessings, usually shout "safe and sound".

I don't mention this gossip about the husband, and said that the old woman took Li Mi to the husband's residence, and learned that the husband had run away with a cover, and knew that the situation was wrong, so she went to the south dock of the city in a hurry.

Don't look at the waterways in the southern region, but there are not always boats, if you are a flat-headed people, if you want to carry a boat, it also depends on the time, not to go with you, it is not yet noon, then the husband is to leave home in the morning, if you are lucky, you can still catch up!

Li Mi didn't say much, and the old woman and Chen Zhiwu didn't ask much, and the three of them hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the south wharf of the city.

It's also a shame that the old woman is a walker, and when she arrived at the dock, as soon as she lit the code, someone came to contact, and the brother of the boat gang took the silver, and after a while, the husband was recovered!

The husband didn't expect that he would be arrested, and when he saw the old woman, his whole face turned pale, and he cowered, and he didn't dare to speak out.

Li Mi held down the head of the knife and said to the husband: "Beat the change, you took other people's money, and deliberately made a mistake, don't you want to escape!" ”

As soon as Li Mi's words came out, the old woman and Chen Zhiwu couldn't help but be stunned, and said in their hearts that the one who played the change was the wrong one, and it was not a heinous crime, so why should they run away?

This hour is not very accurate, and sometimes the shift is muddy and sleepy, or lazy and slack, and it is understandable to hit the wrong time, why the husband wants to run away, it also makes no sense.

Besides, why is Li Mi so sure, this husband is wrong at the wrong time?

When the husband heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, puffed up his chest and said: "This little master, although the little one doesn't know what path you have, you can't tarnish people's innocence out of thin air, I have been working hard for more than ten years, how can I make a mistake, even if I am wrong for a minute or two, I can't say any harm, that's a very normal thing, why do you want to slander Lao Er and me!" ”

Li Mi didn't care about these excuses, because the husband was going to run away, and if it was any later, the clue would be broken again, so he leaned over at this time, forced him to look at the husband, and asked coldly.

"I don't bother to pay attention to your pickled things, I just want to know who is the one who gave you the money!"

The husband still wanted to deny it, but Li Mi had already pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, he was a little husband, where could he withstand the majesty of Li Mi, so he immediately went down and said to Li Mi.

"Yes...... It's a young girl, only in her twenties......"

"Young girl?" Li Mi couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and then said to the husband: "You have been working for more than ten years, don't tell me that you are an honest and loyal person, that person gave you silver, how can you accept it with peace of mind, you must have followed it secretly, you and tell me, where does the girl live, if there is half a lie, you don't need to take a boat, this head catcher will send you back to your hometown directly!" ”

Li Mi revealed his identity, and the husband was also frightened when he heard that it was a head catcher.

This Q&A is like a stream, and it is also a quick talk, Li Mi seems to be under control, and the husband is retreating step by step, without reservation, but the old woman and Chen Zhiwu next to him are stunned!

They acted together with Li Mi, how did Li Mi know that the husband received the wrong money? What does this mistake have to do with Lu Kun's disappearance?

Just with a mouthful of "thick phlegm", how did Li Mi know so many things?

These are not mentioned for the time being, just to say that Li Mi looks like a stunned young man, but he knows that the husband is an old fox, and it is speculated that the husband is not at ease to receive the silver, and he wants to listen to the other private thoughts, so he will follow the person who is the silver.

Based on this alone, Li Mi is by no means a fledgling chick, but an old monster who has insight into people's hearts!

At this time, whether it was the old woman or Chen Zhiwu, they already had a new understanding and change of view of Li Mi, but Li Mi didn't care about this, his mind was all on the girl who gave the silver!

In Li Mi's opinion, Lu Kun's disappearance must be related to Cheng Yu, but who are Cheng Yu's subordinates, Li Mi has no clue.

Now that there are key clues, if you can catch this girl, maybe you will be able to follow the vine, and if you find Lu Kun, you may be able to catch Cheng Yu!

The husband had already frightened Li Mi, and he didn't expect that Li Mi would see everything he did as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and where did he dare to hide it at this time, so he explained to Li Mi truthfully.

"Lao Er did secretly follow for a while, and the girl lived in the Lekang Fang Qingpai Hall in the west of the city...... It should be a borrowed sister, and the face is ...... tight."

Li Mi had never been to Jinling before, but he knew that a place like the Qingpai Pavilion was by no means a serious club, and the sister should also be called a woman who had lost her footing, Jinling was a place of fireworks, and many top brands from other places wanted to come to Jinling to mix the way out, and sometimes they would borrow to live in the building, if they did well, they would be born in peace, and they might be able to take charge of themselves in the future.

This snake has a snake road, ants have an ant road, Li Mi is not an expert, and he only knows a vague approximation, and he doesn't need to study it in detail.

got this clue, Li Mi didn't pay attention to the husband, and wanted to go to the Qingpai Hall to get someone, but the husband couldn't help it, and said to Li Mi: "You and I have never met, how did the master make a mistake in the old man?" ”

Li Mi turned his head and smiled, and said to him: "It's your good luck to meet me, if you don't say this, I won't pursue it, not only do I know that you made a mistake, but also made a mistake for two hours, yes or no?" ”

The husband's face changed greatly, he buried his head deeply, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, and when Li Mi was about to leave, he said to Li Mi: "Thank you for letting me go, I will definitely repay my master if I have a chance in the future!" ”

Li Mi didn't bother with him anymore, and let the old woman lead her and go to the Qingpai Pavilion.

The old woman finally couldn't help it, and asked Li Mi: "What does this husband have to do with Lord Lu's disappearance?" ”

Li Mi didn't want to answer, after all, he hadn't caught anyone yet, but the old woman and Chen Zhiwu were his helpers, if they were confused, they would have no confidence to do things after all, so he said to them at this time.

"Actually, it's very simple, Lord Lu has been robbed as early as the first watch, the silhouette you see is just someone else, while you are dozing off, let the husband beat the third watch, you mistakenly think that Lord Lu survived to the third watch, but this is not the case, but it is just to confuse you."

"In other words, what the old body has been staring at is not Lord Lu, but pretending? This can't be, the old body is very familiar with Master Lu, and that person's image is very good, how can he ......?"

Li Mi thought of Cheng Yulai and said to the old woman: "There are many talented people in this world, why is it difficult to find someone who is comparable to Master Lu." ”

Chen Zhiwu was also puzzled at this time: "If that person pretended to be Lord Lu in the room early, how did he get out of the room?" ”

Li Mi smiled and said: "Naturally, he went out, but this person is fine and has not left any traces." ”

"This door is locked tightly, can this person still pass through the wall?" The old woman reached an agreement with Chen Zhiwu this time.

Li Mi shook his head and explained to the two: "You have also seen that there is a puddle of smudge under the bolt of the door, and this is the key. ”

"What can a lump of thick phlegm do?" The old woman and Chen Zhiwu were both a little incredulous, and Li Mi's words sounded ridiculous.

However, Li Mi shook his head and said to the two: "As the old mother said, Lord Lu Kun is a gentleman who cherishes Sven, how can he vomit everywhere, it is not thick phlegm, but butter!" ”

"Butter?"

"Exactly!" Li Mi seemed to recall the excitement of his earlier guess conclusion, and at this time he also clenched his fists and continued to the two.

"When the man left, he first stuck a small piece of butter and closed the door tightly, and after the rat gnawed the butter off, the deadbolt would fall into the bolt groove, so that it caused the signs of locking the door!"

"So you're looking under the bed just to find the rat hole where the rat got in?" Chen Zhiwu also reacted, but it still sounded a little unbelievable, who would have thought that such a delicate design could be completed with the help of mice!

However, Li Mi nodded and said to the two: "The person who can set up this bureau may be scheming in our opinion, but for him, it is just a small trick that is not worth it. ”

"How can there be such a vicious person in this world!" The old woman and Chen Zhiwu inevitably sighed in surprise, but when they looked at Li Mi's expression, they already knew in their hearts that what Li Mi said was true!

If it is really such a character who robbed Lu Kun, then they must race against time to find Lu Kun back, otherwise I really don't know how this person will treat Lu Kun!
