At the last moment, the two of them were still pondering that the footprints were the traces left by Jiang Muyuan's night visit, and they had a headache in order to solve this matter in this way, and the next moment, there were also marks in other families, and they told them that everything was because they thought too much.

Gu Yunqi mentioned that his heart went up and down, but he finally let go.

It was impossible for Jiang Muyuan to go in and out of the Qin family and leave a bunch of footprints.

It's not that Jiang Muyuan is good, he came to Gu Yunjin in the middle of the night, what kind heart can he have! Maybe how to coax and deceive, he confused his stupid sister!

But if it weren't for Jiang Muyuan, which bastard would be a thief in the middle of the night?

Gu Yunqi followed Gu Yunyan to the flower hall.

Mrs. Qin sat opposite the Shan family, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she said with a worried face: "I have lived in Xilin Hutong for so many years, and nothing like this has ever happened.

The courtyard walls of our house in this alley are quite high, and I can't climb up without a little effort, so I went to see it myself, oops, there are really footprints.

Not only on the walls, but also on the eaves, but there were no people living in those rooms, otherwise wouldn't the souls be scared away in the middle of the night.

I had people take inventory of the contents of the rooms to see if anything was missing.

Do you have one here? ”

Gu Yunyan replied: "There is one on the ridge of the wall at the back, and there is no eaves on it. Maybe it was when I climbed over the wall and found that there was a nursing home in our house, so I left. ”

Mrs. Qin had a bitter face: "In the end, it is the General's Mansion, each has kung fu, the thief does not dare to make a mistake, and he will leave immediately if he runs the wrong door, there is no one in our mansion!" I'll go to the next few houses and ask to see if they have all been robbed. ”

Thieves in the alley are not just a matter of one family.

Shan accompanied Mrs. Qin out and said, "I'll go with you, and everyone will ask." ”

Gu Yunqi went back to the fourth room and went straight to the East Cross Courtyard.

When Gu Yunjin saw him coming, his heart was extremely empty, his face was still upright, and he asked, "Do you see any clues?" ”

Gu Yunqi cleared his throat: "Mrs. Qin is here, the Qin family seems to have entered the thief, the eldest aunt went to the neighbor's house with her to inquire, the thief is not a little timid, before you catch someone, you must be vigilant at night, and call someone if there is anything." ”

Gu Yunjin was stunned when he heard this.

That footprint is not Jiang Muyuan's, but a thief?

She nodded dumbly and replied, "Got it."

Throughout the morning, Shan visited all the neighbors in Xilin Hutong, and three found footprints, and the other three did not find footprints, but they were all missing, and they should have been robbed before the snowfall.

Several families sat down and talked together, and the Qin family took the lead to report to the yamen.

The yamen was also anxious when they heard it, and the officials who lived in Xilin Hutong were all officials, so they couldn't procrastinate and perfunctory, and the officials soon came to visit one by one.

The thieves here were not covered, and as soon as the officials came, they knew the news everywhere.

The guests in the restaurant and teahouse were speechless, where did this thief come from, and he had the courage to go to Xilin Hutong to steal chickens and touch dogs? Are official things so easy to steal? When they are found out, they have to take a good look to see if the man's guts have grown on the back of his head.

The storytellers followed this stubble closely, talking about "the thief who came and went without a trace" and "the famous thief in the previous dynasty", but anyone who was involved with the thief and had ups and downs can attract a lot of listeners.

Shao Fu Yin was busy with other things in the morning, and it was not until the afternoon that he took the time to personally walk to Xilin Hutong.

The master sorted out the case file and handed it over to Shaofu Yin for review.

Shaofu Yin was watching carefully, and heard a report from outside that the little grandfather was coming.

The little grandfather who often goes in and out of the government is, of course, Jiang Muyuan.

Shao Fu Yin got up and welcomed Jiang Muyuan in.

"Stolen from Xilin Hutong?" Jiang Muyuan looked at the case file spread out on the table and asked, and when Shao Fu Yin nodded, he said, "I'll take a look." ”

Shao Fu Yin handed him the case file and said strangely: "The little grandfather still cares about the theft case?" ”

"My daughter-in-law is still living in Xilin Hutong, how can I rest assured if I don't catch the thief?" Jiang Muyuan replied.

Why did you forget this stubble, Shaofu Yin was embarrassed, and said: "The saint also made someone say a few days ago, the little grandfather, you returned to Beijing not long ago, the queen mother and the eldest princess miss it very much, if you have been in the palace, the queen mother and the eldest princess will mainly complain about the ...... of the saint."

"When the saint asked, I said the same thing," Jiang Muyuan said while looking at the file, "I know that the queen mother and mother often think of me, and after I came back, I didn't go to the palace, but this is different, and I am not allowed to catch thieves for my daughter-in-law's family?" ”

Shao Fu Yin said that he couldn't help him, and he really didn't dare to leave Jiang Muyuan in the mansion, so he asked the master to copy some files for him.

Jiang Muyuan came out with the dossier and was invited to Suxianglou by the servants of Yongwangfu.

Suxianglou was also telling stories related to the big thief, Sun Ke listened to it all afternoon, and when Jiang Muyuan arrived, he didn't listen to it anymore, but came over to read the file.

It is clearly written on the case file.

Which one, where the footprints were left, what was stolen, all side by side.

Sun Ke saw the part of the Gu family at a glance, there was a footprint on the ridge of the back wall, and there were no more marks on the rest, and there was no theft in the mansion.

He snorted, looked at Jiang Muyuan and said, "It's really not you?" If it weren't for the thieves of several more families, I doubt that these footprints are yours. ”

Jiang Muyuan glanced at Sun Ke and ignored his quips.

The location was clearly written on the case file, and Jiang Muyuan himself understood that it was indeed his footprints.

Fortunately, the snow had not stopped when he left, and the subsequent snowflakes blurred the marks, making it impossible to distinguish the direction of the footprints, so it was inferred from the file that this person found out that it was the Gu family's house after climbing over the wall and gave up stealing and left directly.

If there is no blur, then everyone will see clearly that the footprint is towards the outside of the house, left by someone when he turned it out of it, but there is no mark on the side to turn in, it is enough to infer that the person did not snow when he entered.

It would be suspicious to have stayed in the Gu family for so long, but no one found out, and the Gu family had not been stolen.

Jiang Muyuan was happy, but he couldn't help but worry, he was able to steal several houses overnight, this thief is very capable, he didn't find the other party when he left, he should have missed it by chance.

This person must be found out as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be more than panic.

He only wanted money last night, and if he thinks about it again, the evil will become even greater.

In addition to the cash, I lost a lot of things last night, and these are a lot of them, and only one person can't move them, and there should be a response at the mouth of the alley.

Jiang Muyuan himself left from the south, and he didn't find anything unusual at that time, and it was very likely that the thief's response was in the north.

In this way, there are few people who ask in that place to see if anyone paid attention to anything last night.

Thinking like this, Jiang Muyuan pushed the file in front of Sun Ke again: "If you want money, these items will have to be sold, you can help me say hello to the pawn shop." ”

The Delong pawnshop in the hands of the old lady of Pingyuan Marquis is one of the best in Beijing, and when his family speaks, his peers will be more vigilant, as long as things appear, there will be rumors.

Sun Ke lightly tapped the scroll, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say hello, but you have to tell me the answer, are the footprints on the ridge of the Gu family's wall yours?" ”
