At noon the day after the pearl necklace theft case was solved, Nie Xiaohu, Cao Xiaohui, Tang Yibin and others were eating in a tavern.

"Brother Hu, you said that Mrs. Meng is ruthless enough, for the sake of money, even people dare to kill!" , Cao Xiaohui said while eating.

"These days, for the sake of money, what is there to dare to do?" , Shi Yuning pouted on the side.

"Do you have to kill someone? Anyway, in her own home, wouldn't she just steal it if she found an opportunity? ”

Nie Xiaohu smiled and said: "First, Cui Yuanhao watched it closely, and second, he even wrote the letter of resignation, so Mrs. Meng didn't have much time, so she would take risks." It's understandable to think about her own retreat, but she shouldn't be too greedy and kill! ”

"It must be that Song Zhe Lion who opened his mouth, otherwise Mrs. Meng would not have made such a ruthless move," Tang Yibin said.

"Alas! Then what is the suffering of He Furong, and it is also affected! Cao Xiaohui sighed slightly.

"Who let her know and not report it, and blackmail others, fined her ten taels of silver and spent three days in prison, which is already very light", Nie Xiaohu smiled and shook his head.

"Mother! Mother! ”

At this moment, there were several childish cries in front of the table behind several people.

"What's wrong, kid?" , a middle-aged woman asked gently.

"Mother, my ball is missing, you can help me find it!"

"Good, good!" The middle-aged woman nodded in agreement, bent down, and searched the ground of the tavern in all directions.

"Everybody's looking for it!" , Cao Xiaohui looked at the child's cute and aggrieved face, and suddenly the maternal instinct was furious, and she stood up and said loudly.

When the people eating in the tavern saw that it was a catcher, they quickly put down their chopsticks and wine glasses, and leaned down to look for them on the ground.

"No?" Almost all the tavern guests shook their heads after carefully searching the ground.

"Baby, what kind of ball did you lose, why haven't I seen you play?" , the child's mother asked with a frown.

"Forget it!" The little guy pouted, stretched out the index finger of his right hand and pulled into his nostrils, "I'll make another one!" ”

"I'll go!" Suddenly, the people in the tavern rolled their eyes.

After lunch, when he returned to the fast catching room, Nie Xiaohu and the others had just sat down in the hall when a fast catcher walked in.

"Report the total head catcher! A female prisoner escaped from the prison last night! ”

"What? Jailbreak? Or a woman? Nie Xiaohu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"What is the name of the escaped female prisoner?"

"It's called He Furong!"

"Ho Furong?!" When Nie Xiaohu heard this, he immediately stood up.

"How could it be her? What did she do when she broke from prison? Cao Xiaohui also stood up and said puzzled.

"Xiaoshi, you take two people to He Furong's house, if she is at home, immediately arrest and bring her to justice, if not, leave one person to wait, you go to the prison to meet us!"

"Yes, Tiger Head!"

"Let's go to the prison and have a look!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and strode out.

Entering the prison compound, Nie Xiaohu saw a row of rectangular houses, with two floors, made of blue bricks, and when he entered the gate, there was a small hall with a table, four benches, several single knives and two iron locks hanging on the wall, and a wooden sign with the name and date of the person on duty.

There was an iron door on the wall of the small hall leading to the door, which was locked by a brass lock, and in the southeast corner of the small hall, there was a small wooden door, which was unlocked.

"Your Excellency, you're here!" A man in a jailer's uniform came up with a hunched waist.

Nie Xiaohu scanned the entire small hall with a serious gaze, nodded, pulled over a bench and sat down: "I heard that someone escaped from prison?" ”

"Yes, sir!" , the man quickly nodded and replied, "The little one's name is Li Bin, and he is the cell leader here, and the one who escaped from prison last night was a female prisoner who just came in, named He Furong." ”

"Who was on duty last night?"

"It's the two of them!" , Li Bin hurriedly beckoned to the two jailers standing against the wall.

"Why don't you two come over and see your lords!"

Only then did the two of them hunch forward, and a large set of keys hanging from their waists made a "rattling" sound.

The two came to Nie Xiaohu's approach, clasped their fists and saluted, and said in unison: "I've seen adults!" ”

"Excuse me!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand.

"What's your name?"

"The little one's name is Shen San."

"The little one's name is Zhao Hai."

"What the hell happened last night?"

"Back to my lord!" Shen San bowed down and said, "A female prisoner came the day before yesterday, and the name written in the register book was He Furong, and she was sentenced to three days.

Last night, it was our brothers on duty, and everything was normal, but when we looked again this morning, the cell where He Furong was empty, and we searched the entire cell and did not find her, presumably she escaped from prison. ”

"She only has three days in prison and can get out tomorrow, is it necessary for her?" , Nie Xiaohu said coldly.

"Did you torture her? Or did you abuse her? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to kill the little one!" , the two hurriedly said with their hands in a row.

"My lord, is there something urgent for her? Or did she have another big case and was afraid of finding out, so she fled? Li Bin, the cell leader, said cautiously on the side.

Nie Xiaohu ignored it, and then asked, "Who was here last night?" ”

"This ......", Shen San spoke a little hesitantly, and glanced at Zhao Hai beside him nervously.

"If you hide something, do you know what the consequences will be?" , Nie Xiaohu's voice was as cold as frost.

"The little ones don't dare!" , Shen San hurriedly said, "Someone did come last night!" ”

"Who?"

"It's Master Zhou!"

"Master Zhou? Which Master Zhou? ”

"It's Master Zhou Runchang Zhou, who opened a pawnshop in Shangxian District of the city, his son Zhou Ziang was detained here because he was injured in a dispute with someone, and he came ten days ago, and Master Zhou came to visit the prison last night."

"Li Bin."

"Your Excellency!"
