The routes of the patrols are fixed.

It's not appropriate to ask everyone to change their plans just because they met Ebony and it wasn't clear what was going on.

The subordinate asked, "Chief, do you still believe in cats?" ”

"You can beat it, believe it or not." Xu Qirun said.

His men stopped talking.

This cat fights and thieves, they have all seen it.

Can't afford to mess with.

Hei Tan'er jumped onto Xu Qirun's shoulder.

This time, Xu Qirun did not hide.

Ebony grunted twice in satisfaction, stretched out her paws, and showed Xu Qirun the way.

Xu Qirun followed its guidance and entered the quiet alley.

This walk, he passed through several alleys, Xu Qirun was familiar with the capital, the map was in his mind, and soon, he found that they were getting closer and closer to an alley where the candidates were settled.

"Little Bat Alley?" Xu Qirun asked Ebony.

Ebony flicked his tail twice on his back in response.

Xu Qirun sighed secretly, he didn't understand!

Is this true or not?

Forget it, you shouldn't ask, just follow along.

Three people and one cat, finally entered the small bat alley.

The sky was too dark, there were only a few stars that were not bright, and the lantern in his hand could not be found in the distance, and most of the entire alley was hidden in the darkness.

Only Ebony, with excellent night vision, rushed down from Xu Qirun's shoulder and rushed forward quickly.

Xu Qirun and others hurriedly followed.

He smelled it before he could see something was wrong with his eyes.

It doesn't smell bad, but it smells good, like the vegetable oil in someone's kitchen has been spilled.

That's right, it's the rich taste of vegetable oil!

Xu Qirun reacted quickly, blew out the lantern in his hand, and grabbed the lantern of his subordinates and blew it.

It's darker.

He only saw the black cat leap in the air, and at the same time, one of them let out an "oops".

In the quiet of the night, the sound was very clear, and then, "pop", "grunt", as if something had fallen to the ground, and something had rolled away.

Xu Qirun caught up.

The other party and Ebony both disappeared into the thick dark night and disappeared without a trace.

"Chief," the man snorted, "what does it smell like?" ”

"Vegetable oil smell." Xu Qirun said.

"Yo, who's so generous!"

Xu Qirun didn't answer, he squatted down and wiped the ground.

Greasy hands.

Not far from him, there was a barrel.

He stepped forward to look again: "Oil drum, there is still a bottom left." ”

"The ...... who sells vegetable oil" The people at the bottom subconsciously ridiculed, and when the words came to their mouths, they recalled their tastes.

He glanced at the extinguished lantern in his hand and said, "Good ......"

Xu Qirun twisted his hand full of vegetable oil and said, "Transfer people over and guard Xiaobat Hutong." ”

"Chief," the man asked, "do you want to call everyone up and get out first?" ”

Xu Qirun said: "Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, which black door will open the door in the dark?" The ground is slippery, and it is easy to fall. The oil should only be sprinkled in the alleys and the corners of the house, not in the house, there should be no problems at night, and they are all guarded, and they will be disposed of when the day is dawned, and the water should be prepared, just in case. ”

"Someone who poured gas?"

"It's long gone," Xu Qirun said, "Let's see if Ebony can catch up first." ”

Ebony didn't catch up.

Xu Qirun saw it come back, and the whole cat was dying, not at all majestic.

If it was in the past, Xu Qirun would probably laugh at it, but he couldn't relax at this time, and he was not interested, so he said: "That person should be very familiar with this area." ”

The black cat's head was not raised, and its four paws laboriously rubbed and trampled on the ground.

Xu Qirun came to his senses.

Ebony is disgusted with oil.

The claws were greased, causing it to run unsmoothly and was slipped away by the man.

Squatting down, Xu Qirun took out a handkerchief, poured some water from the water bladder, moistened it and spread it to it: "I wiped it just now, and the handkerchief is also a little oily, so I will go down." ”

Ebony was very nervous, and it seemed to be annoyed by the oil, and its two front paws rested on the handkerchief, and rubbed for a while.

Sharpened the front paws and kicked the hind paws.

Smack-

Something, slashed between a man and a cat.

Xu Qirun looked at it and it turned out to be a waist card.

It was on the ground just now, but it was too dark for him to notice and was accidentally kicked by Ebony.

He picked it up and carefully discerned it.

Made of wood, there is no pattern, it is very ordinary, the waist card is written with the word "Chu", it seems that this should be a commercial house.

Ebony was finished, and he still seemed to be very uncomfortable, so he yelled at Xu Qirun twice, jumped on the wall, and ran away.

"Whatever it is?" The underneath asked.

Xu Qirun shook his head: "I can't find the person who poured the oil, and I'm afraid that I can't find the cat in the Fourth Prince's Mansion?" ”

If the cat is lost, it is a rare thing.

The men of the Jingwei Command Envoy Division, except for those who patrolled according to the route, almost all of the rest were called into this alley.

If any of them get up at night and light candles, it will make people even more worried, and they are afraid that they will go out of the pool.

Fortunately, until the sky lit up little by little, the small bat alley was very calm.

Except for the smell of vegetable oil that can't be dissipated for a long time.

In the alleys, in addition to the students who entered Beijing to take the exam, there were also people who made a living in Beijing.

Someone got up early, and as soon as they heard a certain family get up, the guards hurriedly stepped forward and shouted through the door, saying that something was wrong in the alley, and that they should be careful under their feet and not use fire.

Soon, in the alley, all the families got up.

A candidate opened the door, and when he saw that little bit of morning light, the ground was full of oil.

Xu Qirun told his subordinates to do things, temporarily did not allow people to enter and leave the alley, asked people to go to Shuntianfu to report the news, asked them to send people over, wait for the day to light up again, check the alley again, and see if there are any clues that were missed in the night......

It's busy, but it's also organized.

At the same time, Huo Yixiao tidied up while listening to Wen Yan and Ebony's funny.

Even if you don't understand it, this one person and one cat is a lot of fun.

Ebony had already cleaned up, lying comfortably in Wen Yan's arms, meowing and meowing.

Wen Yan couldn't laugh and explained to Huo Yixiao: "It said that Xu Qirun was naïve. ”

Ebony licked her paws.

Isn't that naïve!

With its skills, how could someone slip out of their noses, this is absolutely impossible!

Xu Qirun actually felt that it was stumped by the oil.

Such a big waist card was thrown at his feet, but Xu Qirun didn't find it, and he had to rely on it to kick him, and night vision was not good!

Huo Yixiao laughed sneeringly.

Look, good people don't deserve it.

Xu Qirun wasted a handkerchief, and he had to be laughed at by Ebony.

Glaring at the cat, Huo Yixiao looked at the cat owner again.

Well, what kind of cat there is, there must be what kind of lord there is.

Wen Yan didn't know what Huo Yixiao was thinking, she was frank and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, each other." ”

Huo Yixiao: "......"

Never mind.

I'm not a good guy in the first place.

A good person doesn't do the thing of a thief shouting to catch a thief.

It's time to go up and catch the thief.
