Chapter 329: The Silver Thief

"At the time, we thought they were a little suspicious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 "When we asked them what they were doing, they said that Tomiyasu had them come and see them. In this way, it is not suspicious, because people live in your store, and it is reasonable to send someone to take a look. ā€

"Do you know who those people are?" Mingyu looked at the shopkeeper Liu and asked.

Shopkeeper Liu embarrassedly spread his hand to Mingyu's stall and said, "Because they haven't registered to live in the store, we don't know who his surname is." ā€

"Do you remember what they looked like?" Mingyu reminded gently.

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't remember this clearly, because the people they come around are different every time." If I had seen it in person, I would have been able to recognize it. ā€

When Mingyu and Shopkeeper Liu were talking, everyone looked up at the four walls carefully. This room is about thirty feet long and twenty feet wide, which is quite spacious. The pillars of the room are all made of cedar wood, and the walls are made of masonry between the pillars, and the outside is whitewashed with lime.

Song Qi was also pacing around the room, his eyes drawn to a wall on the left. There was a piece of the wall about six feet high and three feet wide where the lime had completely peeled off, revealing the rough and uneven masonry and mud marks between the masonry, and it looked like the wall had been built in a hurry, the masonry was uneven, and the stitches were crooked and unaligned. The flow marks of the mud stuck to the masonry like a curtain of beads, hanging down to the ground.

Song Qi frowned, approached the wall, reached out and knocked on the masonry, wiping it. Wow, the mud in the brick joints is half wet and half dry, and Song Qi's hands are covered with dark gray viscous mud.

There is no doubt that a door had just been opened and then blocked. Song Qi hurriedly turned around and called Shopkeeper Liu, and asked sharply, "Shopkeeper Liu, come and see what's going on here?" Then he stretched out his mud-stained hand to show him.

At this time, everyone came over and looked up and down the new wall.

"My lord, I don't know about this either." Shopkeeper Liu was sweating on his forehead, and he didn't know if he was distressed about the damage to his walls or worried about getting into a bigger suspicion.

"What's room next door?" Song Qi rubbed the mud on his hands and asked with a frown.

"One-one-zero-six." Shopkeeper Liu replied cautiously.

"Hurry up and open the door next door, and bring out the guest files for me for nearly a month!" Song Qi said, turned around and walked out of room 1105 and came to the door of room 1106. Others followed.

Shopkeeper Liu was very nervous, his hand holding the key was a little trembling, and he opened the lock several times before opening it.

There was a "squeak" and the door was pushed open. The curtains in the room were all closed, and the light was very dim.

The willow shopkeeper lit up the room with fire folds. Then he walked carefully and slowly to the window, and with a bang, opened the curtains.

Light came in through the window, and the room suddenly lit up.

Everyone rushed in. This room is almost the same size as 1105. The furnishings of the room are quite simple, one table, one cabinet and two beds. There was no dirt on the ground, and it was obvious that it had just been cleaned.

On the wall separated from 1105 was a row of cabinets about six feet high and five feet wide, and the position of the new wall that Song Qi had seen just now was blocked by the cabinets.

"Get the cabinet out of the way!" Song Qi ordered to several soldiers behind him.

"Yes!" A few soldiers went up and moved the cabinet away.

Behind the cabinet showed traces of a newly built wall of the same size, on the wall.

"Shopkeeper Liu, explain to me how this new wall came about." Song Qi turned his head and stared at Shopkeeper Liu, and said in a deep voice.

Shopkeeper Liu touched the sweat on his forehead, I don't know how to explain, at this moment he has the heart to touch his head against the wall, he snorted for a long time, stammered: "My lord, like you, I just saw it." ā€

At this time, a guy came in with a stack of files, and Yu Man took the files with both hands, put them on the table, and quickly flipped through them.

Yu Man said while looking through the file: "Room 1106, a month ago, Fu'an registered for four days. Since then, there have been different guests every day. Five days ago, a man named Tudou checked in. Only checked out this morning. ā€

"Potatoes?" Song Qi said curiously, "There is also a person with this name?" ā€

"Dirt bucket?" Hua Meng repeated softly, walked over to Yu Man, and leaned over to look at the file on the table, "I know this person." ā€

"I know too." Mao Yong continued.

"You know?" Song Qiming Yuman looked at Hua Meng and Mao Yong in unison. When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart was much more relaxed, and he secretly thought in his heart that the suspicion should be moved to Hua Meng and them.

Hua Meng pointed to the name "Tudou" registered on the file, frowned slightly, and recalled: "Tudou was a family member of Dream Island before, and his martial arts were also first-class. Seven or eight years ago, he joined forces with the bandits who stole the Book of Heaven, and after the defeat, he escaped from Dream Island, and never heard from him again. ā€

Regarding the affairs of the family seven or eight years ago, Mingyu was confused. Song Qi, of course, is even more unclear. For the scum who came out of Dream Island, he only knew that the swallow flying squirrel was empty and the chameleon tiger Fan Yinao Ximen Liu, and now this Zhai Fu.

"It's easy to know the name! Adults can find the lost silver taels by clicking on the map. Shopkeeper Liu said, with a cheerful look that was relieved from the dire situation, "My lord, there shouldn't be anything to do with me now, right?" ā€

Song Qi waved his hand to Shopkeeper Liu. As if he had been granted amnesty, the shopkeeper bowed to Song Qimingyu and walked outside with brisk steps.

Mao Yong touched his chin with his hand, looked at the door and said thoughtfully: "When we entered the inn just now, a group of guests happened to leave the inn. One of them was wearing a hood and could not see clearly. At that time, my heart moved, but I didn't think much of it. In retrospect, the hooded man may have been Tu Dou. ā€

"I have this suspicion too. According to the records of the dossier, Tudou left today. It is very likely that the group of people who passed us by today is the silver thief, and Tudou may also be among them. We've been here for just over an hour, and he probably hasn't gone far. Song Qi turned his head to look at Hua Meng, "Brother Hua, you send someone to track down the silver thief Tudou." ā€

"Yes!" Hua Meng agreed, and went out briskly.

Song Qi instructed Yu Man again: "The silver thief Tudou has just left here, which means that the Tibetan silver should have been stolen in the past two days. The goal of one million taels of Tibetan silver is not small, and it is not easy to transport it out of the city. The silver should still be in the city. It is estimated that they will take the method of breaking up the Tibetan silver and transporting it out of the city in batches. Go to the four gates of the city quickly, pass on my orders, strictly check the people who leave the city, be sure to intercept the hidden silver, and arrest the thieves who stole the silver! ā€

"Yes!" Yu Man agreed, and went down. (To be continued.) )
