Chapter 33: The thief shouts to catch the thief
Nalan Jin found that the Night Pearl was gone, so he called Dongfang Yi and decided to discuss countermeasures.
"What if the Night Pearl is gone, if I let my grandfather know, the consequences will be unimaginable." Nalan Jin was worried, he could only rely on Dongfang Yi now.
"It's okay, I'm still here. Anyway, now Ye Mingzhu can't help this matter, except for you and me, you can't leak it out, and you have to pay close attention to it to see if there are any people in the mansion who are particularly interested in Night Pearl. "Although we all live in the same house, we are in the same bed.
"I'm just worried about my uncle and aunt that if they know, nothing good will happen." Nalan Jin's worries just came true.
Pei Shi walked around the house when he was bored, and found that Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin's room was still lit at this time, and it was still lit so late? Curiosity prompted him to sneak over and eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Okay, the night pearl has been lost by you, if you let the old man know, it will be better for you." Pei Shi thought secretly in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, he just leaned in front of the window and kept eavesdropping on the words of the two.
"Then we're going to have to hide it from them now?" Usually, Nalan Jin would pay attention to observe whether there would be other people around him when talking about important things, but today it turned out that the Night Pearl was gone, and he didn't have the heart to worry about the surroundings. He only hoped that Dongfang Yi in front of him could give her a better solution.
"Yes, we're going to have to hide it from them, and we're going to need to investigate it in the dark. The person who stole it will never be an outsider, they will all be in the same place, and they will be more or less interested in their own people's things. Dongfang Yi comforted Nalan Jin.
Nalan Jin relived this life, her greatest hope was to be trusted by Nalan Zhen again, but now that the night pearls in her hands are gone, what else can she do to make Nalan Zhen trust herself.
Pei Shi by the window heard that there was no sound, thinking that ninety percent of it was Nalan Jin sobbing, and Dongfang Yi was comforting in a low voice.
"It's really a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, wait for tomorrow, I will give you a big surprise."
Finally, tomorrow morning, Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin talked all night about how to investigate the murderer who stole the night pearl, and the breakfast the next day also looked a little haggard.
"This person will always gain a lot when he goes out for a walk. I went to see it yesterday, the Night Pearl...... It seems to be gone. After Pei finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of Nalan Jin's side.
"What did you say, the Night Pearl is gone?" Nalan Zhen was shocked by Pei's relaxed tone, and at the same time, what was even more angry was the content behind.
"This ......" Nalan Jin looked around trying to find someone who could help him speak, but he thought about it, and it seemed that no one was willing to help him except Dongfang Yi.
"What the hell is going on?" Nalan Zhen scolded angrily, and the people around him were frightened.
"I ...... I don't know why the night pearl suddenly disappeared, I was trying to tell you when I found out last night, and since last night, I have also been investigating in secret, but I didn't expect to be taken by my aunt first. Nalan Jin glanced at Pei's family, and the smug smile on Pei's face couldn't be concealed at this time.
"How could something like this happen! So what clues did you find? Although Nalan Zhen was angry, Nalan Jin had already said that he was investigating.
Nalan Jin had no choice but to follow the ideas that Dongfang Yi had sorted out for her yesterday, and often said it in the book, "Only the people in the mansion should have a chance to do it, because we have not disclosed to the public that there is a night pearl in the service, and those who know about it can only be the people in the mansion." And last night I went to inquire with the doorman, and learned that no one had been in or out yesterday, and that the thief was still among us. ”
"This night pearl is gone, how can it still be among us, everyone in the house has seen the night pearl, even if you want to get it again, you won't steal it." Pei Shi added oil and vinegar to the side.
But Nalan Zhen still favored Nalan Jin, "I'd rather kill thousands of people by mistake than let go of one of them." No one is allowed to go out today, and I will thoroughly investigate and find out the thieves in the house. None of you are allowed to leave now, come here. ”
With Nalan Zhen's order, the surrounding subordinates all came over, "Search all their houses for me, and you can't leave until all the searches are completed." ”
The Night Pearl is also a rare treasure, and it is not an exaggeration for Nalan Zhen to be so excited. It's just that the investigation also implicated Pei's family, which made Pei's attitude towards Nalan Jin even worse.
Nalan Jin didn't notice Pei's gaze, after all, Ye Mingzhu was missing from his own hands, and it was inevitable that he would blame himself a little.
"Don't worry, when I find this thief, I will punish him severely. Since someone stole the Night Pearl, it has nothing to do with you. Nalan Zhen still noticed Nalan Jin's expression.
The hall was full of people, but it was silent, until the servants who came to report broke the deathly silence.
"Report to the master, we have found the pearl of the night." The news brought by the next person made everyone's eyes shine.
Although this incident failed to make Nalan Zhen blame Nalan Jin, since someone dared to steal the night pearl, it must be a lot of courage, and this time the Pei family can be regarded as eradicating a person.
"Whose house did you find it?" Nalan Zhen asked angrily.
"Yes...... It was found in Pei's house. "This result shocked everyone.
"How is that possible! It's me who first discovered that the Night Pearl is missing, how could I steal the Night Pearl! "This result is the most shocking, but it is Pei Shi and Nalan Jin. Pei originally only wanted Nalan Zhen to teach Nalan Jin a lesson, but he didn't expect that this time, he put himself in vain.
Everyone is indeed a little difficult to accept this matter, and the drama of the thief shouting to catch the thief is too much of a loss, "Are you sure you found it in Pei's house?" ”
Nalan Zhen asked again, his anger still unabated, but there was some disbelief in it.
"The subordinates did find it in Pei's house, if the master still doesn't believe it, now you can go to Pei's house to see, the night pearl is still inside." If this kind of treasure is moved without permission, it is not impossible for Nalan Zhen to blame it.
The servant repeatedly confirmed who the last thief was, "Okay, Pei's family, there is a scene where a thief shouts to catch a thief!" Say why are you stealing the pearl of the night? ”
Pei Shi immediately knelt in front of Nalan Zhen, "It's really not me, if I stole the Night Pearl, how could I tell you that the Night Pearl is gone, someone must have framed me!" Pei glanced down the hall and found the scapegoat of Li.
"It must be the Li family, he must have framed it for me!"
"There is no basis for your words, but you have to come up with evidence!" Li did not show weakness.
