Li Xi'er glanced at Lin Qingyuan fiercely, made a grimace at him, didn't even pick up the money bag, and walked away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The goods leaned over and picked up the money bag, which was embroidered with the word Xiyue. This is Li Xi'er's maiden name? Or was she originally called Xiyue? Lin Qingyuan didn't think much about it, wrung out the water with his hands, and carefully kicked it into his arms.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, and the inspection was almost over, the head catcher couldn't sit still, and said, "Is there any clue?" I watched most of the people leave, so the thief won't leak out, right? ”

Lin Qingyuan comforted: "My lord, the fewer people there are, the more prisoners will surface soon. Let's take a breath for a while, and we should have the answer. ”

He was confident that the prisoner must still be among the rest of the crowd, and he also found that Li Xi'er did not walk away, but drank tea on the second floor of the restaurant, paying attention to himself. Since she witnessed the thieves stealing, she must have known who the prisoner was, and the reason why she didn't leave, the prisoner must still be here.

The head catcher's heart was half cold, so he had to wait quietly.

The crowd was still lining up in an orderly manner to be checked, Lin Qingyuan's eyes staring at the basin suddenly lit up, and he whispered a few words in the ear of the head catcher.

The head catcher suddenly came to his senses like a wolf who had been hungry for a few days when he saw food, pointed to the man who was just about to get money out of the water, and shouted, "Quick, someone has tied him up for me." ”

A few catchers surrounded people very tacitly.

Lin Qingyuan raised his head and looked meaningfully at Li Xi'er, who was drinking tea, but Li Xi'er turned his face away angrily and didn't look at him.

The corners of Lin Qingyuan's mouth smiled with satisfaction, he was very satisfied with Li Xi'er's reaction, because he knew that he had found the right one!

The man was tied up by five flowers and sent to the head catcher, looking a little uncomfortable, and asked: "Lord head catcher, wronged, what is the villain's crime?" ”

The head catcher snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, what's the crime? Bold thieves still have to quibble, let me ask you if you stole the Wang family's money bag? ”

The arrested man was not very old, but the acne on his face was full of energy.

As soon as he heard that the head catcher said that the thief was him, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried out that he was wronged.

Lin Qingyuan sneered, and said in his heart: Wronged? Hehe, I see that you are so scared that your legs are shaking and you can't stand up!

He asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man said in a trembling voice: "The villain's surname is Zhao, his name is Yun, and his name is Long." ”

Zhao Zilong? Damn, you scare me? You dare to take this name, and you are not afraid that the martial god will cut you with a knife?

The name is wise and martial, but this Zilong is not the other Zilong, and the comparison between the two is a world of difference.

The goods coughed embarrassedly and said, "That's good Zhao, let me ask you, how much silver do you have in this money bag?" ”

"One or two pieces of silver, fifty-three copper plates." Zhao replied immediately, and breathed a sigh of relief after speaking.

Lin Qingyuan sneered and said, "Okay, the answer is quite fast." Bold thief, and said he was not a thief. If it is their own money, normal people must be worried about being treated as a prisoner for saying the wrong thing, and think carefully before daring to answer. And you immediately reported it so accurately, doesn't it mean anything? ”

The head catcher took a fancy to his thoughts, and yelled: "Zhao, when the matter comes to an end, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Zhao shouted: "I, I am, because the money bag just fell into the basin, and I was afraid of picking up a few, so I checked the money bag and remembered the number." Thinking about this possibility, the head catcher looked at Lin Qingyuan.

Lin Qingyuan said indifferently: "If you don't admit it, then let's take a look at the water basin." ”

Only then did everyone remember the basin and wondered what it had to do with the thieves.

Lin Qingyuan pointed to the basin and said: "The Wang family sells oil cakes, and every day they will inevitably get the oil and water on the cakes in their hands. Oil and water repel each other, but do not blend with each other. And the density of oil is less than that of water, which is well known to say that oil floats on the surface of the water. ”

Although everyone couldn't understand what he said about density, the final conclusion was known, and they all nodded.

Lin Qingyuan is really afraid that these people don't even know that the cooking oil is floating on the water, otherwise it will be too troublesome to explain later.

PS: In order to better explain the numismatic problem in the article, let's unify it now. In this book, 100 coins = 100 copper plates = 1 tael of silver. A penny = a modern dollar. So you don't have to worry too much about the ratio of currencies.
