The sunset reflected the horizon red.

This is a rare sight in the rainy capital.

The campus of Yudu No. 5 Middle School was a little bleak and deserted, and after the afternoon meal was hurried, the third-grade students had already buried their heads in the classroom, and they were all busy.

On the basketball court, there are only a few heartless boys, still sweating and scrambling. Coordination, passing, slam dunk, exclamation, the scene is extremely intense.

However, this does not mean that they have given up on themselves and their lives......

Connected to it, in the old basketball court, there is a completely different picture.

There was only one boy there, tall and mature in appearance, and his forehead, his sweat-soaked hair obscured his vision, but it didn't affect his performance.

With a solemn expression and a slight bent back, he stood at the free throw line and practiced his free throws alone.

The ball in his hand seemed to be one with him, the ball was raised above his head, his heel off the ground, the ball left the palm of his hand, drew a perfect arc in the air, and then, methodically, flicked the net pocket under the basket, and then landed.

Hollow balls.

There was no trace of joy on his face, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, moved his steps to pick up the ball, and returned to the free throw line......

Although he has no interest in basketball, and he doesn't understand basketball at all, the series of impeccable actions just now still shocked Ye Xing.

"Is this really an innate talent, whether it's sports or studying......

Lonely, cold, mysterious. This shouldn't be a sign of a so-called genius, and if that's the case, I don't want to be a genius...... No, I should say, fortunately I'm not!

Ye Xing thought to himself. When he came back to his senses, the recognized genius kingship had long since disappeared from his eyes.

Ye Xing couldn't deceive himself, and he knew very well in his heart that although it wasn't admiration, deep down, there was still a little bit of jealousy towards him......

Raising his hand, he looked at the watch he was wearing on his right wrist, the protective film on the surface of the black background and blue edge, about 5mm thick lenses, was still there, and on both sides of the watch were silver-white metal buttons, which were impressive.

As you can see from this, it is really a watch that can be waterproof.

"This kid, just give me such a bargain."

It was the gift given by Zhu Qilin at Ye Xing's birthday party, and I remembered to wear it on my hand today, so that it was convenient to see the time, although it was said that there was a ready-made standard Beijing time on the mobile phone, but after all, it was somewhat inconvenient when the teacher was nearby in the school in public.

"It's almost six o'clock, why haven't the two of them come yet?"

Before in the library, Ye Xing had already arranged everything, according to the action plan, it was like this......

He Yuanjing, "lurking" at the entrance of the school's small supermarket, inspected all the people who held the 100 yuan bill, and then immediately asked the cashier to replace the 100 yuan bill. This task naturally has to be undertaken by him, because not everyone can carry a few hundred-yuan Grandpa Mao with him all the time.

Zhu Qilin, sitting under a public telephone booth close to the school gate, always supervises whether there are students entering and leaving the school gate. His specialty is lip reading, as long as he finds that the doorman leaves the school under the pretext of "saving money", he will stop him, and he will say that he is in a hurry to use the cash, and intends to use the money stored in the mobile phone to exchange with him. Of course, the mobile phone on Zhu Qilin's body belonged to He Yuanjing, and the password had been told to him.

All in all, their mission is the same - to collect the hundred-yuan bills on all the students in the school as much as possible and give them to Ye Xing.

Ye Xing has a skill, at critical moments, his memory is super strong, and even the slightest subtle differences, subtle symbols and numbers, as long as he has seen them with his eyes, can always be searched from the depths of his mind.

Because since yesterday when he went to get the money with Lin Yan, he counted them one by one.

Fifty-six banknotes.

Front.

Dozens of number symbols.

Countless minor abrasions.

……

He remembers it clearly.

In other words, if you find any of the missing pieces of money, you may be able to find the thief and recover all the stolen banknotes.

For Ye Xing's crazy actions and thoughts, Zhu Qilin was determined, He Yuanjing was skeptical, and Li Yingying only threw down two words, and then turned her head and left-naïve!

"5,600 yuan, all of them disappeared overnight, and you didn't have to think much to know that it was stolen. And the thief was able to take the money away at night without anyone noticing, then there is only one possibility, he (she) should have known the specific location of the money earlier. ”

"So, the thief was either a classmate in the class, or someone in the class told someone else, that is, their classmate, a friend in the third year of high school in this school."

"In short, the thief must be a student in the third year of high school, because the students of other grades are on vacation these days, basically, the suspicion can be ruled out......"

While Ye Xing sat on the edge of the playground blowing the cold wind and thinking about it, Li Yingying stayed in the warm classroom, recounting what he had said in the library with Deng Liyun, who was still depressed. She left in a hurry just now just to tell Deng Liyun the "news", hoping that she would be in a better mood.

"That's what he said."

Deng Liyun raised her head in disbelief, her face seemed to have finally improved, and asked, "Can he really find out that thief?" ”

In order to comfort her, Li Yingying patted her chest with confidence without any thought, and said: "Don't worry, you have to believe them, aren't they from some detective agency!" ”

"Detective agency?" Deng Liyun was confused, obviously ignorant of it.

Li Yingying saw one or two, and hurriedly explained: "It's a very powerful club in the school, which specializes in investigating thieves, you have been in the school for so long, don't you know?" ”

Seeing Li Yingying's slightly exaggerated expression, Deng Liyun couldn't help laughing and said, "Hehe, I really haven't heard of it." ”

"Lonely, in fact, I just knew, haha!"

The two laughed at the same time, of course, Li Yingying was even happier, she finally let Deng Liyun get out of the "haze" in the morning.

But perhaps, there is also a part of his credit......

It was getting dark, and the bell for the first evening self-study was about to ring. At 6:08, Ye Xing looked at his watch again, and finally got up from the bench and prepared to go back to the classroom.

As soon as I walked to the main road of the campus, I saw that Zhu Qilin and He Yuanjing were also walking towards the four sects in the north and west. I have to say that this is really a tacit understanding.

The three of them all quickened their pace, hurrying back to the classroom while also speeding up the time to gather together.

Ye Xing put his hands in his pockets and walked in the middle, waiting for the good news of the two of them.

This is probably an innate tacit understanding, the three of them walked under their feet while explaining the course of the case.

Zhu Qilin spoke first, filtering out all those details about how witty he was, and Ye Xing came to a valid conclusion.

"You mean, only two people went out of the school gate in the afternoon, one went to save money, and the other just went to the door to buy a string of rock sugar gourds?"

"Well, and the person who bought the rock sugar gourd used loose money." He recalled that when the man gave the money, the old man of the sugar gourd's lips twitched, saying five yuan, and after giving the money, he immediately returned to school.

"Good. What about money? ”

"In the pocket, ten. It's stuffed too tightly, I'll give it to you back in the classroom. "In fact, I am reluctant to give up, and I can think about it for a while.

After Zhu Qilin finished speaking, the next thing was He Yuanjing. He only said one sentence: "None." "No, it's a word.

"Alas, it seems that the people who stay in the school now are basically poor ghosts, and from this point of view, everyone around us is suspected of committing crimes...... Including ourselves. Ye Xing couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, confiding in everyone's hearts.

"No," Zhu Qilin suddenly retorted aggrievedly, "It's not like this......"

"What, do you have any other opinions?"

Zhu Qilin was silent and pointed to his right, "Let's say...... He! ”

When Ye Xing heard this, he was noncommittal, and looked at the person who was the most dismissive of money on the side. He Yuanjing suddenly felt uncomfortable, couldn't help but be embarrassed, and pretended to be puzzled and said, "I...... What's wrong? ”

"It's okay, I just want to recognize you as a big brother," the two said in unison, and the four eyes had already turned into the "red-faced" Grandpa Mao, "Do you see it?" ”

"This ...... Not so good......"

"Mosquito, you are-Hou Yi opened the bow at night......"

"Uh, why do you say that?"

"Owed !!"
