Dai Guozi put his eyes together, this angle was too well chosen, and the study was in full view. He took a look, there were basically no dead ends, especially the position where Sun Youxiang was sitting just now, and his every move couldn't escape the eyes of the voyeur.
"This man is very good, and he is a skilled player, and the location he chose is the best on the entire roof." Gu Changming squatted down beside Dai Guozi, "This kind of is not by luck, it must have been stepped on, and more than once or twice." He turned over the tile in his hand, "Tung oil is very viscous, and if you want to take it off in whole like this, it also has a special potion by its side, it looks like it is inevitable." ”
Gu Changming grabbed Dai Guozi's shoulder, pushed the person down, and turned over and landed on the ground. Sun Youxiang was in place, looking at them anxiously with his head raised high: "What did you find?" ”
"My lord, what Gu Gongzi said is that when you opened the mechanism at that time, that person could see it clearly on the roof." Dai Guozi described the scene he saw through the roof to Sun Youxiang, "The adult's mechanism is under the desk, and after the other party sees it, it is not difficult to open it again." ”
"Since the gold has been stolen, you don't have to worry too much." Gu Changming was always as calm as ever, and no matter how chaotic the scene seemed to others, it was suppressed by his aura.
"How do you understand what Gu Gongzi said?" When Sun Youxiang heard that maybe things would take a turn for the better, his eyes were faintly excited.
"Five thousand taels of gold, stolen from the county government overnight, there will definitely be no clues. If the adults found it in time, the gold should still be in Quyang County. It is imperative to stop these people from transporting the gold out. If you can't take it, then rummaging through it inch by inch, you will definitely find it. Gu Changming's eyes narrowed slightly, "Who guarded the gate of the county government last night, and the adults answered the possible thieves and asked them one by one." ”
Sun Youxiang was crazy before, but after listening to Gu Changming's instructions, his mood eased down. Gu Changming is right, it is not easy to transport away five thousand taels of gold, but thinking that there will be internal responses in the county office, Sun Youxiang is displeased, no matter who it is, it must be very disappointing.
"I'm going to fetch the one who kept vigil last night." Dai Guozi looked at Sun Youxiang who was in a hurry to solve the case, and rushed out while talking.
"Where was Gu Gongzi last night?" Sun Youxiang was not polite at all, and asked from the person in front of him first.
"Sitting in Tianxiang Pavilion, I didn't go anywhere. I also paid for Qiu Chengzuo's wine halfway, so I was able to prove that Qiu Qizuo was also not in the county office. When Gu Changming saw Qiu Chengzuo, the other party was at least eight points drunk, and some couldn't tell who was who, and almost treated him as a fruit.
"Gu Gongzi can be sure that the letter is fake, so the other party has been premeditated for too long." Sun Youxiang has the least suspicion that Gu Changming and Dai Guozi are the two, Dai Guozi was raised by himself, if he is still suspicious, he will simply slap his mouth. Gu Changming's net worth background is too pure and arrogant, and the eldest son of the former criminal officer's family, five thousand taels of gold may not really be in his eyes.
"If Lord Sun receives the real letter later, will he be able to believe my words?" Gu Changming took a step back, since it was a correspondence involving gold, there must be a special code. The best way for the other party to fake it is to intercept the real letter in the middle and make a fake copy according to that one, so that the flaws will be minimized by comparing the two sides.
"I'm the one who took it up." Sun Youxiang admitted that he had never thought that the letter would be a fake. If he had looked more closely at the time, he might not have been able to see the truth from the fake. There is no regret medicine in this world, he still believes in Gu Changming's suggestion, and let the people who steal gold stop in Quyang County, and he can't take it away.
The two roads in front and back of Quyang County are convenient for entry and exit, and Sun Youxiang immediately ordered his subordinates to be divided into three shifts to patrol back and forth in the county seat. There are also those suspicious unfamiliar faces, which must be carefully examined.
Gu Changming always followed behind him, watching him arrange it, in an orderly manner, without any omissions. These officials were completely obedient to Sun Youxiang's orders, and when they heard the task and left, no one said a word, asking Sun Youxiang to give an explanation, whether there was a mistake and these nonsense.
"What is Gu Gongzi thinking?" Sun Youxiang arranged these, and his heart was more stable, and he completely returned to his usual state, "The nameless female corpse case can turn evil into good fortune, and I am actually like a headless fly, which makes Gu Gongzi smile." ”
"The authorities are obsessed with bystanders. It's rare for Master Sun to be able to figure it out so quickly. Gu Changming put one hand behind his back and looked back, "Why did the fruit go for so long and haven't come back?" ”
"He didn't go to the county office last night and early this morning to guard the door, these have a fixed list, just get it. Could it be that he had made some other discoveries? Sun Youxiang's heart moved, "No, I have to go back to the study to have a look." ”
The door of the study was still closed, and Sun Youxiang had the key to his body, and as soon as he opened the door, Gu Changming said in a low voice: "Someone has been here again, it seems that this time it is real." ”
Sun Youxiang followed his line of sight and looked over, just like the letter he received the day before, there was no difference in position, just in the middle of the desk. He hurried over, just about to get the letter.
Gu Changming suddenly slammed a palm at the back of the door, the change came too quickly, and a figure flashed out behind the door, dressed in black clothes and black pants, and his body was extremely fast. That person didn't have the courage to take Gu Changming's palm at all, and avoided it sideways, still wanting to grab the door.
The man moved fast, Gu Changming was not slow, and as if he had guessed the other party's intentions, he reflexively kicked the door and closed the door of the study. The man had obviously rushed to the door and almost hit his head, but Gu Changming met it closely, wanting to grab the black cloth on his face. Most of the man stuck to the door, like a dexterous gecko, and slid upwards to dodge again.
"My lord, I found it." Dai Guozi came to the study to find Sun Youxiang, and when he saw that the door was closed, he thought that Sun Youxiang and Gu Changming were talking about something important. There was nothing more important than the clues he had found, so he didn't even think about it, and pushed the door open from the outside.
I saw a black shadow, headless and brainless, rushing towards him. Dai Guozi heard Gu Changming hurriedly shouting to him to get out of the way, and his eyes saw a touch of snow. Fortunately, he had the experience of Liu Zhuxue's attack on him last time, he didn't wait for Gu Changming to come over to save people, squatted on his knees, and his upper body fell backwards, dodging the other party's attack.
Gu Changming saw that Dai Guozi was not injured, so he threw down a sentence to protect Lord Sun, and followed the black shadow to chase after him. The two chased all the way on the roof, Gu Changming adhered to the principle of handling cases, and was not afraid of pedestrians stopping to look at each other. He really wanted to see where such a black-covered thief would go?
His light skills are not weak, and the opponent's skills are even lighter and changeable, although his whereabouts are discovered, he is not panicked. Knowing that there is a master chasing behind, he can always keep a distance, and he seems to be very familiar with all parts of Quyang County.
Gu Changming was chasing people and thinking, what did this person prove when he appeared at such a critical time? If it weren't for the fact that he had deduced in advance that the first letter Sun Youxiang received was a fake, then the behavior of this person who sent the real letter is open to question. Could it be that it is to remind Sun Youxiang?
And after delivering the letter, there was no second person present at the time, so it was completely possible to walk away. Hiding behind the door like this is like deliberately revealing your whereabouts. The corners of Gu Changming's mouth raised slightly, and the development of the situation became more and more interesting. Could it be that there is infighting in the den of thieves, and this person is here to help them?
In an instant, the black shadow of the other party was lost on the roof, Gu Changming was shocked, and jumped off the roof. This is clearly a vegetable market, and the place where he jumped down was still selling live chickens and ducks, and he almost didn't step on the chicken feathers when he landed. When he looked up again, there were dozens of vendors in two rows in the market, some shouting loudly, some bargaining, but there was still the female thief in black.
After chasing down all the way, if Gu Changming couldn't see that the other party was a woman, he would really be blind. In the crowd, there are really a lot of little daughters-in-law and aunts who buy vegetables, if the other party comes prepared, takes off the outside layer of protection when he lands, and wears a dress casually, where can he find which is which?
Gu Changming didn't waste his strength here, the other party used a little cleverness to restrain him. Far from being annoyed, he was even more sure that the other party's behavior in delivering the letter was beneficial and harmless, so he wanted to go back and see the situation in the county office.
When Gu Changming returned to the county government and returned to the study, Sun Youxiang was interrogating a government officer. Dai Guozi stood nervously beside him, watching Gu Changming's hands appear empty: "Didn't catch it?" ”
"Well, run into the market and you're gone." Gu Chang looked at the one kneeling on the ground, he was a little old, and he was entangled with Sun Youxiang.
"I looked for the list, and it said that Hu Wenqiu was on duty last night. Hu Wenqiu said that this old Wu found him and said that there was something at home and he wanted to change shifts with him. Dai Guozi lowered his voice and told Gu Changming the ins and outs, "I found Lao Wu, but he said that there was no such thing at all." ”
"What about Hu Wenqiu?" Gu Changming saw that Sun Youxiang's eyebrows were upside down in anger, and Lao Wu still looked like he didn't know anything, "He drank wine, and he drank a lot?" ”
"Yes, when I found him, I was still talking drunk. Drink like this during the day, the county government has rules, and you are not allowed to drink alcohol when you are on errands. Hu Wenqiu was with Zheng He last night, and the testimony of both of them was correct, and there was no problem. Dai Guozi looked up at Sun Youxiang, "My lord read the letter just now, and he became even more angry. The contents of the letter were the same as the one he had received, except that the day he had come to withdraw the gold had been moved back three days. ”
"That said, we only have two and a half days, and we can't wait." Gu Changming took a step forward and stood between Sun Youxiang and Lao Wu, "Lord Sun, the gold is still in Quyang County, and that person just now is here to deliver this news to us." ”
