Chapter 459: Missing

"It's not coarse!" Shi Jinlang nodded and said, "As long as you tell me which pawnshop you took that stone to, I will return your Taidao to you!" ”

"Yong'an Dang!" Miyamoto Musashi did not doubt that he had him, and directly said the name of the pawnshop.

"Good!"

Shi Jinlang pulled Miyamoto Musashi's arm and said, "You go with me, as long as the stone is still in the pawnshop, I will return the sword to you!" ”

"Follow me!"

Miyamoto Musashi realized that things had taken a turn for the better, and excitedly trotted to the front to lead the way.

Half an hour later, Miyamoto Musashi took Shi Jinlang and Ah Li to Yongandang.

Yong'an is not a shop but a street, and it is the most famous antique street in Chang'an City.

When the three of them arrived, Yong'an Dangli was crowded with people, and everywhere was the shouting and shouting of vendors and the bargaining of cultural and entertainment lovers.

"Just ahead, follow me!"

Miyamoto Musashi took the lead, taking Shi Jinlang and Ah Li through the crowd to a pawnshop called "Wang Jiawen".

Shi Jinlang glanced at it casually, the business of this pawnshop was not very good, and there were no customers in it.

"Let's go, let's go in!"

Shi Jinlang nodded, and Miyamoto Musashi strode in.

"Boss Wang, Boss Wang!"

"Welcome, welcome, welcome to the boss, look at it, choose it, our store is really-"

Boss Wang saw someone coming in at the door, and he didn't see the appearance of the person who came, so he introduced it, and when he noticed Miyamoto Musashi's appearance, he shouted: "Hey, why are you?" ”

"That's right, it's me!" Miyamoto Musashi looked at Boss Wang with a smile on his face and said, "I mortgaged you a glittering stone some time ago, and now I want to redeem it!" ”

"This boss, you don't understand the rules of the pawnshop!" Boss Wang snorted coldly and said: "Seven days is the limit, if you don't redeem it after seven days, the items that are mortgaged and pawned will not be returned!" ”

"I didn't have time to come over some time ago, so I just made some time!" Miyamoto Musashi stepped forward and grabbed Boss Wang's fat hand and said, "Boss Wang is accommodating, and he will return that stone to me!" ”

"Come less!" Boss Wang knocked down Miyamoto Musashi's hand and said: "If you want to come to buy something, then I can receive it, if you come to make trouble, then I will not send it far!" ”

Seeing that Miyamoto Musashi was deflated, Shi Jinlang strode forward and said: "Boss Wang, the stone he pawned to you is mine, and now I want to redeem it, no matter what price you gave him at that time, now I am willing to pay double the price to redeem it!" ”

"Hehe-" Boss Wang glanced up and down at Shi Jinlang, and then let out a cold snort in disdain: "I don't care if it's your stuff or not, someone else mortgaged and pawned it to me, then it's mine!" ”

"Ten times the price!"

Shi Jinlang smiled slightly.

Boss Wang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Principled things cannot be compromised, goodbye!" ”

"100 times the original price!" Shi Jinlang said again.

"Huh-" Boss Wang swallowed a mouthful of saliva deeply, and said after a while: "There are some things that can't be solved by money!" ”

"Hehe-" Shi Jinlang smiled faintly, took out a silver ticket from his pocket and put it on the counter and said: "This is a check from Chang'an Qianzhuang, blank, and the numbers have not been filled in yet, as long as Boss Wang returns the stone to me, you can fill in the numbers on it as you like!" ”

"It's-"

Boss Wang picked up the silver ticket from the counter and took a closer look, and after finding that it was true, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"This son, it's not that I don't want you to redeem it, it's that the stone is no longer in our pawnshop!"

"What do you mean?" Shi Jinlang looked puzzled and said, "You sold it?" ”

"I didn't sell it, it disappeared on its own!" Boss Wang said with a remorseful expression: "I think that stone is a rare treasure, I originally wanted to auction it well, but I just sent out an auction announcement, put it in the safe that night, and disappeared the next morning!" ”

"And this kind of thing?" Shi Jinlang didn't believe it: "You won't lie to me, right?" ”

"Childe, you know that we are open for business, no matter how good that thing is, as long as you pay enough price, I can't make money without making money!" Boss Wang sighed and said: "I don't believe you asked your friend, when he pawned it to me, I paid ten taels of silver, who wants to do business without making money and losing money?" ”

Boss Wang said very sincerely, and he couldn't help but not believe it.

"Where did you lose it, take me to see it!"

Shi Jinlang believed that the fragment of the energy crystal was gone, but he wanted to see with his own eyes the place where the fragment of the energy crystal disappeared.

"Childe, come with me!"

Boss Wang nodded, and then took Shi Jinlang and the three into the inner room.

"That's the safe!"

Boss Wang took Shi Jinlang and the three of them into the inner room, pointed to a safe placed in the corner of the inner room and said.

The inner chamber was a little dark, and the air smelled of rotting and moldy, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder.

Shi Jinlang glanced around, but found nothing unusual, he looked back at Boss Wang and said, "Why is there a smell of gunpowder here?" ”

"Childe doesn't know!" Boss Wang looked up at Shi Jinlang and said: "Half a year ago, Cao Thief led an army to attack Chang'an City, and used explosives to blow up countless houses in Chang'an City. ”

Jin Lang naturally knew what Boss Wang said, but it had been half a year in the past, and the house had been renovated, so the smell of gunpowder left behind could not be as strong as it is now.

Generally, people who have lived in one place for a long time will subconsciously not find that the environment they are in is different from the past, but Shi Jinlang is an outsider, and he can detect that the smell of gunpowder is fresh as soon as he comes in, and it is definitely not left half a year ago.

However, Shi Jinlang didn't say it thoroughly, he looked back at Boss Wang and said, "In addition to that stone that night, did you lose anything else here?" ”

"Nope!" Boss Wang said without thinking: "The things here are all my collections for decades, and you can see at a glance what is missing, except for the stone that is missing, nothing else is missing, and even the location has not changed!" ”

Speaking of this, Boss Wang looked at Shi Jinlang suspiciously and said, "Son-in-law won't think I'm a thief here, right?" ”

"It's possible!" Shi Jinlang nodded.

"No, it won't!" Boss Wang shook his head categorically and said: "Although that stone has some value, but compared with the collection I have here, it is a small thing, if it is really a thief, it is impossible to only miss that one thing!" ”

"Then what does Boss Wang think?" Shi Jinlang asked with a smile.

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the prince when I say it, as far as I guess, there is only one possibility!" Boss Wang smiled awkwardly and said, "That's the stone long feet ran away by itself!" ”

"Huh-"

Shi Jinlang smiled faintly and did not refute anything. The fragments of the energy crystallization are not living creatures, so naturally there is no such thing as running away on their own with long legs, and the reason why they disappeared must have been stolen by someone.

"Well, I'll discuss something with you!"

Shi Jinlang hesitated slightly, took out four fragments of energy crystals from the three thousand whiskers, handed them to Boss Wang, and said, "I have four more of the same stones here, if you release the news, you will auction them tomorrow!" ”

"This-" Boss Wang said with a look of embarrassment: "Son, I'm not afraid that these four stones will be gone, and I won't be able to compensate you at that time!" ”

"Don't be afraid, just do what I say, and I'll give you some reward after the deed is done!"

"Really?" Boss Wang grinned and said: "Master Gongzi is really a good person, the small one will be arranged!" ”

After Boss Wang went out, Ah looked at Shi Jinlang puzzled and asked, "Bao'er, do you have any plans?" ”

"Hmm!" Shi Jinlang nodded and said: "It is impossible for Miyamoto Musashi's fragment of energy crystals to disappear, it must have been stolen by someone, and that person did not move other things, which means that he knows the true purpose of the fragments of energy crystals, if he knows that Boss Wang still has four pieces here, he will definitely come again!" ”

"Bao'er is so smart!" Ah Li said with an admiring expression.

"This brother, I've already brought you, I'm sorry if the stone is gone, can you return the knife to me now?" Miyamoto Musashi asked in a whisper.

"Taidao can pay you back, but you have to stay tonight to help me catch that thief!" Shi Jinlang looked at Miyamoto Musashi Road.

"But what if no one comes?" Miyamoto Musashi asked.

"No matter if anyone comes over at night, after tonight, the knife will be yours!" Shi Jinlang smiled.

"Okay, if the gentleman says that the horse is hard to chase, I will stay one more night!"

Shi Jinlang believed in Miyamoto Musashi's character, and after getting his promise, Shi Jinlang casually returned the sword to him.

"So, so, soβ€”"

After Shi Jinlang finished explaining to Miyamoto Musashi, he turned around and pulled Ah Li out to go shopping.

Shi Jinlang's original plan was to go to Changle Fang in the evening to squat Marco Polo, but because of this incident, the plan had to be postponed.

I have to say that Boss Wang is still very concerned, when Shi Jinlang and Ah Li were shopping, the notices posted by Boss Wang and the leaflets sent out could already be seen on the streets and alleys, if the thief was still in Chang'an City, he would definitely be able to get the news.

It was night, the lights were on, Chang'an City was lit up, and a table was set up in front of the Wang family's cultural ornament store, and Ah Li, Miyamoto Musashi, Boss Wang and his guys were eating watermelon around the table.

"Ah Li girl, where did the other people go?"

While eating watermelon, Boss Wang curiously asked about the whereabouts of Jinlang when Ah Li.

"Oh, Bao'er is a little unwell, and she has gone back to the inn to rest!" Ah Li said casually.

"Why are you suddenly unwell?"

Boss Wang muttered in a low voice, but he didn't think much about it.

"Eat it, eat it, this is a specialty watermelon imported from the West, and you can't eat it in normal times!"

A group of people were eating watermelon outside, the candlelight was flickering in the inner room of Wang Jiawen's pawnshop, and in an imperceptible corner, a rabbit was lying quietly on the ground.

The rabbit had two large ears and round eyes, staring intently at the four glittering stones on the table.

The rabbit is none other than Shi Jinlang, who has changed its form.

Shi Jinlang is not the kind of person who likes to do things like to steal chickens and not lose a handful of rice, he asked Ah Li to help round the field, and he stayed in the inner room early.

That's right, Shi Jinlang didn't believe that the fragment of the energy crystal could disappear by himself, he was convinced that the fragment of the energy crystal was stolen by someone, so he wanted to catch the thief with his own hands.

Time passed minute by minute, and Shi Jinlang didn't know what time it was, but through the window of the inner room, it could be seen that the lights outside had slowly begun to dim.

"Yawnβ€”"

Shi Jinlang was bored, his eyes were a little sour, and his expression began to be a little trance.

"Boom-"

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from outside the window, followed by a dazzling fireworks into the air.

"Fireworks, fireworks!"

The footsteps outside were messy, and the people who listened to the sound were attracted by these fireworks.

"Boom, boomβ€”"

The fireworks are getting brighter and brighter, and the whole night sky is about to be lit up.

Amid the sound of these fireworks cracking, Shi Jinlang sensed a burst of tremors coming from the ground.

"Boom-"

There was a roar from underground, but it was muffled by the sound of fireworks bursting in the sky.

"Rustleβ€”"

After a burst of sounds, a hole suddenly appeared in the ground not far from Shi Jinlang, and the pungent smell of gunpowder instantly filled the room, and then a man in a dirty cowboy hat cautiously climbed up from the hole.

The corners of Shi Jinlang's lips rose slightly, his guess was right, the "thief" really fell for it.

The cowboy hat man climbed up from the hole in the ground, he glanced around, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, the attention of a pair of eyes was all drawn to the four glittering stones on the table.

"Hahaha, finally let me get it together!"

The cowboy hat man opened his mouth to speak, and his voice was in broken Chinese, because he had his back to Shi Jinlang, and Shi Jinlang couldn't see him, but Shi Jinlang could be sure that this cowboy hat man was a stranger.

"Come on, babies!"

The cowboy hat man took a cowhide bag from his waist, and then reached out to put the four energy crystals on the table into it.

"Dingβ€”"

Just as the cowboy hat man's hand almost touched the fragments of the energy crystal, a large hole suddenly cracked in the table, and four glittering fragments of the energy crystal fell straight down.

β€œshit!”

The cowboy hat man cursed, and then bent down to pick up the four energy crystal fragments from the ground, but when he lay down, he found that a snow-white rabbit appeared under the table.

"Huh-"

"Huh-"

The cowboy hat man and the rabbit were stunned at the same time.

"A rabbit?"

"It's you?"
