Chapter 143: Catch
Bai Ji's shopkeeper has been in the capital for so many years, but he is not in vain, except for the killing god in the Guogong Mansion, he treats everyone with a smile, ushering in many years, and the kung fu of seeing people and talking to people is very good.
After figuring out what Yu Can meant, the shopkeeper immediately began to cooperate, asking a few words about the injuries of the two masters for a while, and then talking about Cen Ji's business, and even the reasons for going to the water were indiscriminately ruptured, but he didn't mention the matter of testifying for the middle-aged.
The middle-aged man was so anxious that he was in a hurry, and he had to make a look of being willing to wait on his face, and followed the shopkeeper to find the reason for Cen Ji's fire last night. It's not that he doesn't want to urge, but the person who has done bad things is always a little weak-hearted, and he doesn't dare to show his feet at all, for fear that he will lose the benefits he has received if he is not careful.
So the three of them simply sat at the low table next to them, and a sharp-eyed apprentice poured a pot of steaming tea, which made the middle-aged feel that this occasion would not end for a while.
β...... Could it be that the lantern fell to the ground and burned? β
"We don't have any lanterns in the store."
"Could it be that the apprentice accidentally knocked over the oil lamp?"
"They're all very cautious."
The middle-aged man listened to it with a weak heart and irritability, what is the meaning of asking back and forth, it is better to return the jade pendant to him as soon as possible and then report to the official, anyway, he did not leave any clues about arson, when it comes to arson, no one dares to call him the first when he calls it second.
If it weren't for the fact that the two masters in the store suddenly spoke in the backyard yesterday, how could he have hurriedly dropped the jade pendant on the ground, it was really embarrassing to think about it. After so many years of bad things, he still missed it for the first time.
Alas, in the future, he can no longer boast to the master that he is a scum with zero misses. The middle-aged man didn't have a match to continue talking, and he was still holding the dim sum sent by Bai Ji's apprentice in his hand, and he ate it with relish.
Forget it, there is good food and drink to entertain, what else is he complaining about? The little girl's family can't talk to the point, and it is estimated that she wants to talk enough when she catches someone. These noble girls are all the same in his eyes, usually with a posture, but when they do it, they are more ruthless than the other.
Let's just say that the person who hired him to do this was sent by a delicate and pretty Sven maid, and when he looked at the clothes and jewelry on his body, he knew that it was not an ordinary family. Even the maids sent out are so imposing, I don't know what the identity of the main family is......
He was curious, but he didn't dare to ask more, anyway, as long as he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him. The middle-aged man couldn't help but glance at Yu Can when he thought about it, he looked stupid, saying that it sounded as simple as a blank piece of paper, and that it was ignorant and naΓ―ve to say that it was ugly, and he didn't know who he had provoked.
β...... Could it be...... Someone deliberately set the fire? β
The shopkeeper's words interrupted the middle-aged drifting thoughts, and his hand holding the pea yellow tightened slightly, and the whole plum blossom was all shattered, and the plum blossoms fell on the table.
"Set it on fire...... Who knows, it's possible. Yu Can responded casually, as if he hadn't noticed the abnormality of middle age at all. She was actually a little anxious, and she was almost done chatting with the shopkeeper, but Amu hadn't brought anyone back yet.
What's next? Don't start talking about the techniques of making confectionery.
"Official! That's him! β
Amu shouted mixed with wheezing from outside, and Yu Can looked up to see that the savior had finally arrived!
The two officials came in from outside the door in a menacing manner, and Yu Can said "Huh", he was still an old acquaintance. On the night when Xiaobai was saved, the two of them were the ones who took the lead in catching the thief.
The people of Wuhoupu hate arson the most, and this crime is really heinous compared to robbery and stealing. Extinguishing a fire is not an easy task, and if it is not good, it will affect countless innocent people, and it is also very troublesome to investigate.
Catching thieves and robbers is not at all as happy as catching arsonists.
"Miss Yu?" The leading official recognized Yu Can at a glance, mainly because she was holding a quiet monkey on her shoulder, which was very similar to the image of that night, even if she couldn't recognize the beauty's face blindness, she could recognize people clearly with this image.
Before Yu Can could reply, let alone explain the situation here, he saw the middle-aged man suddenly jump up from his position, and as soon as he bent down, he was about to drill into the gap between several people.
The gate is ahead, and hope is ahead. The middle-aged man couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, he felt a kind of anger after being deceived, and he felt very wronged. Is it so difficult to mix in the capital now? A noblewoman who looks stupid is actually pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for him?
Even if he can escape today, will there be any need to come out to eat in the future? These awesome girls can solve the problem on their own, right?
The middle-aged man didn't know why he was running, his appearance was recorded, I was afraid that he couldn't even get out of the city gate, but he couldn't control his legs yearning for freedom!
Bang β
The middle-aged man turned a corner, slammed into a hard wall, grinned in pain, looked up, where was the wall in front of him, it was clearly a young man with a straight face, his eyes were so cold that he seemed to be able to freeze people to death.
"I said, uncle, can you look at the Tao when you walk? Don't you understand how to slow down when cornering? Chang Xi hurriedly ran up and grabbed the middle-aged man's sleeve, and motioned to him with his eyes to apologize quickly.
The middle-aged man was so anxious that he couldn't say anything at the moment, where could he see Chang Xi's eyes clearly, reached out and pressed his shoulder and pushed him violently, trying to push him aside and continue to run. As a result, I found that the little guy who was pushed didn't move.
"Hey! Still pushing me? You push another one?! Chang Xi was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out, was it really a hobby when he was a child? That's to keep up with the footsteps of the master, strengthen the body, protect the family and defend the country.
"The son in front, stop him and don't let him go!"
The voice from behind him made Chang Xi instinctively grasp the sleeves of the middle-aged man, just now he felt that this person was suspicious, and then looked back and saw that it was an official who was chasing, good guy, he must be a shameless criminal.
"Master, am I considered meritorious?" Chang Xi held on to the middle-aged man, and turned his head to look at Jing Yan trying to ask for credit.
"Ask the official." Jing Yan didn't want to be entangled with it, but seeing that the official had already chased after him, he didn't want to get involved. He wanted to see what happened to Cen Ji, and by the way, he ran into Yu Can who came to investigate.
As for how did he know that Yu Can would come? Of course, Yu Can's brother has a big mouth, and when he went to look for Li Yu early in the morning, he accidentally leaked his mouth.
"Grandpa Guo?" The two officials approached and saw Jing Yan, and they hurriedly bowed. "It turned out that Grandpa Guo's little servant heroically helped, that person set fire to Cen Ji's shop, and asked Grandpa Guo to hand him over to us for interrogation."
Jing Yan paused when he heard this, and the thought of "not wanting to mix" that had just been born disappeared without a trace at this moment. "Chang Xi, hand over people to them. The crime of arson should not be spared, and it should not be negligent in interrogation. β
"Yes!" The two officials responded in unison, one left and one right, towards the desperate middle age.
After they left, Jing Yan inexplicably stretched out his hand to straighten the original hair bun, which was not crooked, and walked briskly towards the door of Cen Ji.
