"There are two people in total, He Zongxiu and Xu Anzhi, because they both live in Gong'an District, and they have both reached the deadline."

"Have you been to Xu An's house?"

"Not yet, the master came here first, and the result is ......"

"Where did your master disappear?"

"Brother Hu, it's right there, I'll take you there", Cao Xiaohui pointed ahead.

"It's a little weird!" , Nie Xiaohu frowned and stood in the clearing and looked around.

"Xiaohui, let's go around the yard!" , Nie Xiaohu thought about it.

"Good!"

Under a tall locust tree on the left side of the courtyard gate, a tall carriage drawn by two horses was parked, and since it was autumn, there were a lot of leaves on the roof and wheels.

"This carriage is really tall enough!" , Nie Xiaohu looked at the carriage that was about two meters high and said.

"This is specially customized by my master at a large price, and he is uncomfortable sitting in an ordinary carriage," Fushun said on the side.

Nie Xiaohu nodded, raised his leg and got on the wheel, lifted the door curtain, and bent down into the carriage, while Cao Xiaohui stood outside the carriage and stretched out his hand to hang the door curtain on a hook on the edge of the carriage, and the scenery in the carriage was suddenly unobstructed.

The carriage was covered with a thick blanket, on which were haphazardly arranged with four cushions, and a thin quilt was neatly stacked in one corner of the carriage, and nothing else.

Nie Xiaohu lifted the corner of the blanket and pulled it to the side, and the blanket was lifted entirely, revealing the wooden car board, and a small iron ring was inlaid on the edge of the car board.

Nie Xiaohu hooked the iron ring and pulled it up, and the whole car board turned up, and below it was a dark grid about half a meter deep.

"Brother Tiger, how did you know that there was a secret grid down here?" , Cao Xiaohui asked with surprised eyes.

Nie Xiaohu smiled, "It's not simple? The carriage looked nearly a foot tall from the outside, but the inside of the carriage was only about seven feet high, and I had to bend over, so it was obvious that there was a hidden compartment underneath. ”

Cao Xiaohui nodded suddenly in realization, but unfortunately, there was nothing in the dark grid, nothing.

Nie Xiaohu got out of the car after restoring the inside of the carriage, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go into the house and take a look!" ”

It is a small two-story building with a living room on the first floor, a kitchen at the back, and a bedroom on the second floor. After the two of them turned around on the first floor, they were about to go up to the second floor, when there was a sudden "bang", and a stream of water rushed down from the corner of the stairs, and Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui hurriedly dodged to the side.

"Oops!" , A head poked out from the corner of the stairs, and said with a smile on his face: "Two officials, I'm really sorry, the little one is cleaning the room, I didn't pay attention, I hope the two officials will bear with me!" ”

"It's fine!" , Nie Xiaohu shook his head with a smile, and stepped on the stairs with his head down.

As soon as he took a few steps up, Nie Xiaohu suddenly stopped, his eyes looking down, as if he was looking at the dripping water dripping down the stairs.

"Brother Tiger, what's wrong?" , Cao Xiaohui asked.

Nie Xiaohu didn't speak, but squinted his eyes and began to retreat, his eyes always looking down.

"Total headcatcher!" At this time, a catcher suddenly ran in from outside.

"What's the matter?" , Nie Xiaohu turned his head to look at the catcher.

"The subordinate found a cloth bag outside the courtyard wall!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and handed a cloth bag to Nie Xiaohu's hand.

Nie Xiaohu took the cloth bag and looked at it, the cloth bag was sewn with good silk, and the mouth was closed, and the word '10,000' was embroidered with gold thread on the cloth bag.

Open the cloth bag, in addition to the five copper coins inside, there is also a piece of paper, Nie Xiaohu unfolded the paper and looked, it turned out to be an IOU, which was generally written that He Zongxiu borrowed 100 taels of silver from Wancan Gold due to business needs, and agreed on the date of interest and return.

"Fushun!" , Nie Xiaohu walked out of the living room and beckoned to Fushun, who hurriedly ran in front of Nie Xiaohu.

"Your Excellency!"

"Do you see if this is your master's thing?"

"That's right! This is exactly what my lord carries with him! ", Fushun almost jumped to his feet, shouting.

"When I went out this morning, I saw with my own eyes that the old man put two IOUs in this bag!"

"Two IOUs?" , Nie Xiaohu repeated.

"That's right, it's two!"

"That means that the one missing is Xu Anzhi's IOU, but they haven't been to Xu An's house yet, what's going on?" , Nie Xiaohu was a little confused.

"Zhou Han, where did you find this cloth bag? Take me there! ”

"The head catcher, right here!" , Zhou Han pointed to the grass under the root of a wall outside the courtyard and said.

Around the root of the outer wall of the courtyard is a low grass five or six meters wide, Nie Xiaohu carefully observed the grass around the cloth bag, the soil on the ground is relatively damp, except for the footprints of Zhou Han, there is no trace of being trampled, and the location of the wall opposite here is exactly where Fushun said Wan Canjin disappeared.

"This is really a bit incredible, could it be that Wan Canjin can pass through the wall by himself?"

Nie Xiaohu couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, and at the same time smiled, "It's really getting more and more interesting!" ”

At this time, Zhang Hong and Li Lei also returned, according to their investigation, Na Wan Canjin did not return home, and no one in the nearby neighborhood has seen him since this morning.

"Fushun, where is Xu Anzhi's home?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"It's around here, just three streets away!"

"Come on, go to Xu An's house and have a look!"

"Yes!"

"I've seen Xu Anzhi! He's not at home! Someone in the crowd of onlookers suddenly shouted.
