Chapter 42: Beam Suspicion
After a while, the people at the door of the main hall took the bamboo ladder over, and San'er ordered it to be erected on the beam of the main hall, and then he slowly climbed up. ”
"Got it!" San'er responded to Zhang Renshan while climbing the bamboo ladder, and after a while, San'er climbed onto the beam of the main hall and looked around, touched the top of the beam with his hand, and then began to climb down, and when his feet fell to the ground, he called a few more people to carry the bamboo ladder away.

Zhang Renshan couldn't help but be curious, so he opened his mouth and asked, "San'er, what are you doing on that beam?" Did you find anything else? ”
San'er said to Zhang Renshan while dusting off the dust he had picked up on the beam: "It seems that things are the same as I thought, but I have to go to the back hall again to confirm."
Zhang Renshan was very puzzled after hearing San'er's words, and continued to ask: "Back hall? Where else are you going? Haven't you already read it! Why are there any questions? ”
San'er didn't speak, pulled up Zhang Renshan, and then said to the back hall, looked around for a while, nodded, and then returned to the main hall, Zhang Renshan looked at San'er's busy work for a while, so he opened his mouth and asked: "San'er, if you see something, you can tell it, I'm really uncomfortable waiting."
"Alright! Anyway, I've seen it pretty much, so I'll tell you about it! San'er nodded.
Zhang Renshan heard San'er say this, so he hurriedly listened carefully to his ear, San'er first asked his subordinates to bring some snacks over, after all, Zhang Renshan hadn't had breakfast yet, Zhang Renshan didn't say anything when he saw San'er doing this, and accepted it abruptly, San'er found a seat and sat down and opened his mouth after finishing this: "Xian'er, you said that you heard the conversation between the two in the back hall, so let me ask you if anyone was in there when you entered the back hall?" ”
"This ...... Not at all! I remember that after I went in, I deliberately looked around the back hall, and I wanted to light the lamp, but I didn't have the tools to start the fire at that time, so I didn't light it, but I am sure that there was no one in the back hall at that time," Zhang Renshan replied after thinking.
"Hmmm! Then let me ask you a question! You said that it is possible that when you entered the back hall, those two people hid on the beams of the back hall, so you didn't find it! San'er looked at Zhang Renshan suspiciously.
"Impossible!" Zhang Renshan shook his head and said.
"Oh! Why is it impossible? Tell me why! San'er took a sip of tea brought by a subordinate and asked.
"San'er, don't you know this? Look at how high the beams in this room are, you climbed up the bamboo ladder just now, not to mention that I opened the door and entered the back hall very quickly last night, even if the two of them are peerless masters outside the world, it is impossible for them to run so high at once, and they don't make a sound, so it's impossible! Zhang Renshan waved his hand and said to San'er.
"Then how do you think those two disappeared without noticing?" San'er looked at Zhang Renshan with a smile.
After hearing San'er's question, Zhang Renshan pondered for a while and then said, "I think they should have escaped from the main gate of this main hall while I was searching in the back hall!" ”
San'er sighed and then said to Zhang Renshan: "No, they didn't run away at that time!" ”
"Didn't run away! What's going on here? San'er, I looked at the back hall for a long time and didn't find anything! Zhang Renshan said in surprise.
"To be precise, they don't have the ability to escape!" San'er took another sip of tea and said.
"What? San'er, why didn't I understand? Zhang Renshan looked at San'er suspiciously.
San'er didn't speak, stood up, pointed to the water trail left by Xiao Jiu on the ground in the main hall last night, and said, "Look! This is the place where Xiao Jiu was frightened to the ground by the evil ghost last night, that is to say, behind the evil ghost is the main entrance of the main hall, according to Xiao Jiu, after he was scared to the ground, the main door was closed for no reason, and you said that when you entered the main hall, the main door was open, what does this mean? ”
"Description...... Xiao Jiu didn't tell the truth again! Zhang Renshan said.
"Oops! No...... I mean that someone opened the main entrance and walked out when you hid in the corner with Xiao Jiu before you entered the main hall, which caused the main gate that you and Xiao Jiu saw closed and opened! San'er explained.
"Oh! That's right! Then I said that the two escaped from the main entrance, why did you say it was wrong? Zhang Renshan asked.
"Listen to me explain to you, what do you think you would do if you were a thief who stole something, and there were people at the front and back doors?" San'er asked.
"I'll ...... Find a place to hide! Zhang Renshan said.
"That's right! But look! Xiao Jiu was frightened by that evil ghost last night and made such a big move, do you think it could be that group of thieves who did it? San'er looked at Zhang Renshan and said.
Zhang Renshan thought for a while and said, "Probably not!" If you come to steal something, you must be afraid of being discovered, if you make such a big move, it will not be a suicide and a passivity! ”
"Hmmm! Yes, then the question is, since these two thieves dare not do this, then who is this evil ghost? San'er looked at Zhang Renshan suspiciously and said.
"You mean...... And they still have accomplices? When you see that things are not going well, you plan to pretend to be scary, and then find a chance to slip away? Zhang Renshan said.
"Oops! Forget it, you have to guess until next year! I'll tell you anyway! San'er shook his head helplessly and said.
"You know everything, you don't tell me! And deliberately called me to guess! Zhang Renshan said angrily.
"I don't want you to use your brain! Forget it, let me tell you that in fact, things should be like this, the voice you heard in the back hall last night was indeed a conversation between two thieves, but I guess when they were about to steal something, something happened that caused them to be unable to do it......" San'er was just halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Zhang Renshan: "What are you talking about?" Changes? Is it because of Xiao Jiu? ”
"Maybe yes or maybe not, but as far as this morning it seems, the two thieves didn't steal anything, and the reason is that I checked the main hall and put all the furnishings and displays in the same place," San'er explained.
"What about the man? Could it be that the evil ghost was dressed up by those two thieves? But what is the purpose, is it to scare away Xiao Jiuhao to run away? Zhang Renshan asked.
"Hmmm! You're on the nail on the head, why do you have to scare people away? Wouldn't it be better for you to knock Xiao Jiu unconscious, and it hasn't made a sound, and it won't attract other people, not to mention that you don't know how brave this person is, if he is not afraid of ghosts at all! Right! San'er looked at Zhang Renshan and said.
"Huh! This one...... yes! It's much easier to knock someone unconscious than to frighten someone, so what do you think this evil ghost is all about? It won't be ......," Zhang Renshan said as he slowly looked at San'er.
"Don't think about it, that's absolutely impossible, the reason I've already found on the beam!" San'er pointed to the beam on his head and said.
"Why? Tell me about it! Zhang Renshan asked curiously.
"At first, I heard Xiao Jiu say that the evil ghost was hanging upside down on the beam, and I was very suspicious, what kind of evil ghost can you say can hang upside down on the beam, how uncomfortable it is! I guessed if there was a problem on the beam, and then you also saw it, so I went up to the beam and took a look, and sure enough, there were many footprints left on the beam, and then I ......" San'er didn't finish speaking, Zhang Renshan continued in San'er's tone: "Then you asked me if anyone could fly to the beam in an instant, and my answer was no, that is, it means ......"
Zhang Renshan looked at San'er and motioned for him to continue, but San'er watched him from the side and didn't speak, Zhang Renshan had to smile awkwardly and said, "San'er, you go on!" I don't know what to do anymore? ”
"You didn't know you were still answering me! But that's right! San'er nodded and said.
"That's fine! San'er, you go on! Zhang Renshan looked at San'er with a smile and said.
"After getting your accurate answer, I made a very important conclusion, that is, before you arrived in the back hall, even when the two thieves did not come, there were already people in the main hall and they all stayed on the beam, and then Xiao Jiu met the evil ghost Maybe it was also done by this wave of people, I guess I just want to divert my eyes so that I can escape, as for why the two thieves don't steal, I guess it is also related to this wave of people!" San'er said analytically.
"That means that there were three waves of people in this main hall besides me last night?" Zhang Renshan thought for a while and said.
"This is just my guess! The specifics are yet to be proven! But judging from the traces left at this scene, someone must have stayed on this beam last night," San'er said.
"This ...... But it's strange, what kind of treasure is there in this main hall! So many people came together! Could it be that my father has some rare treasures in his private possession? No, I can't! There are still people who want those rags in our house! What the hell is it? Zhang Renshan's head grew after listening to San'er's explanation.
"Okay, don't think about it, you want me to guess ......" San'er looked around and then pulled Zhang Renshan in and continued: "If you want me to guess, this matter must have nothing to do with those people!"
"You mean......" Zhang Renshan muttered quietly.
"That's right, it's the same people we've been looking for, didn't we say it before! They didn't come into the yard to find someone, but to find something, and I was thinking where would these people go to find something in the yard? Now it seems that ......" San'er compared the main hall and looked at Zhang Renshan with a smile.
"Got it! It seems that I am really a blind cat and ran into a dead mouse, and this accidentally found the root! Zhang Renshan looked at San'er proudly and said.
"That's it! Don't show off! We still have to settle the matter at hand! Although the matter of the main hall is clear at the moment, this matter seems to be a warning, and the few people hidden around us may do it at any time, so Xian'er, you and I must cheer up from today onwards! First of all, you have to look at this main hall, since you now know that this thing may be in this main hall! Then we might as well ......" San'er gestured to Zhang Renshan with his eyes.
Zhang Renshan looked at it and knew what San'er meant, that is, to find out what the wave of people were looking for first, so that he and San'er would have chips in their hands and be able to fight with that wave of people, otherwise they would always be in this passive state and be slaughtered by others.
San'er saw that Zhang Renshan understood what he meant, so he didn't explain anymore, and ordered the subordinates at the gate of the main hall to bring Xiao Jiu in, and then said, "Xiao Jiu! I and the young master have figured out your affairs, whether you are a thief or not."
When Xiao Jiu heard this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said to San'er with thousands of thanks: "Xiao Jiu, thank you butler, Xiao Jiu's grievance can be regarded as a solution!" ”
"Xiao Jiu! Don't just thank me! There's still a young master! If it weren't for the young master saying that he would be open to you, you would have to be locked up in that little dark room for a while today! San'er helped Zhang Renshan and said.
Xiao Jiu heard San'er say this, and hurriedly thanked Zhang Renshan, Zhang Renshan didn't say anything, just nodded and then asked Xiao Jiu to go down.
When San'er saw Xiao Jiu leaving, he turned around and continued to say to Zhang Renshan: "Xian'er, look at this matter in the main hall, can we do this?" ”
Zhang Renshan turned around when he heard San'er's question: "San'er, if you have anything to say, just tell it!" ”
"Hmmm! I think we'll just say that what happened in the main hall last night was a scene planned by you and me, mainly to test the situation when the next person inspected, what do you think? San'er looked at Zhang Renshan and said.
"This ...... Not so good! Zhang Renshan looked at San'er suspiciously and said.
"I really don't have anything else to say now, you can't really say that this hall is haunted or there are thieves! Don't even think about the mysterious people who are in the hospital, if they all get out, it will cause a lot of turmoil! It's better than that, according to what I just said! San'er said helplessly.
Zhang Renshan thought for a long time and then said, "Hmm! It seems that there is really no other way! Then I'll have to do as you say! ”
San'er got Zhang Renshan's consent, so he turned around and walked out of the main hall, and after a while, the courtyard spread the saying that the young master was playing with people, but Zhang Renshan didn't know anything about it, and when he saw San'er leaving, he walked out of the main hall, looked at the sun in the sky, and it was still early at noon! But because I didn't have breakfast and only ate some snacks, I was a little hungry, so I thought about going to the back kitchen and asking the chef to make something to eat, but after thinking about it, I might as well go out to eat!
So Zhang Renshan turned around and went out of the gate of the yard to the street, it happened that today is the bazaar of Qingshuipu, that is, the big day of Qingshuipu in the middle of the month, because at this time, merchants and vendors from all over the world will come to this Qingshuipu to sit on the ground and sell, and the entire street of Qingshuipu will become a market, you want to buy anything, Zhang Renshan looked at the day, and then suddenly realized, and quickly began to walk around, look at this and that, so lively.
Zhang Renshan was strolling around when he suddenly heard someone calling him, and Zhang Renshan subconsciously turned around to take a look......
