Xiao Shizhu's inexplicable words made several other ghosts confused. invariably looked in the direction of Xiao Shizhu's finger with a curious gaze. I suddenly saw that on the garden wall not far ahead, four or five feet above the ground, there was a red soil mark the size of half a fist.

The whole wall of the garden is made of pure copper, all of which are golden pieces, but it seems that the seal is particularly eye-catching. But the other ghosts watched it, but they still didn't understand the reason, and the more they looked at it, the more confused they became.

"Last night, there was a thief in the Absolute Fragrance Garden. Xiao Shizhu looked at their puzzled faces and said lightly: "I discussed it with my wife, and I will investigate this matter secretly, and I must not alarm other ghosts." ”。

"Did it rain during the day yesterday?" Xiao Shizhu didn't wait for them to be stunned, and asked another clueless word. asked Li Hao, Li Chai and Yang Fengfeng, and they were stunned again. They went out with Xiao Shizhu, and they only came back last night, so who knows if it rained.

"I came back last night at three o'clock in the morning, and as soon as I entered the city, I felt that the air was cool and the earth was damp. Xiao Shizhu turned around, and after sweeping the faces of Li Hao, Li Chai and Yang Fengfeng, who were stunned, fell on the face of Qinglan, who was hanging his head, and asked calmly: "Qinglan, it rained yesterday afternoon, why did it have to rain for an hour?"

"General, you're a god. Hearing this, Qing Lan, who raised her head in a daze, had a face full of curiosity and consternation, a glint appeared in her eyes, and she opened her mouth and said in a daze: "As you said, it is indeed raining at the beginning of the unitary period, and it will not stop until the end of the day." ”。

"Don't tell you, just call you. Xiao Shizhu said, looking at Li Hao, Li Chai and Yang Fengfeng smirked, and said, "What Lao Tzu said is right." ”。

"Yes, yes, but what does it have to do with this seal?" Li Hao Li guessed that he was all out of his hand, and asked with a finger on the seal.

"When it rains, the soil is damp, and it is easy to get on the soles of your shoes. You see, this mark doesn't look like the tip of a shoe?" after he reminded him, he took a closer look, and the mark was round and not round, and the front was arched, and it was really a bit of a situation on the tip of the shoe.

"In order to plant her baby flowers, my wife uses the best fertile red soil, and in the entire ghost mother palace, this kind of red clay is used in the fragrance garden to breed flowers. And this garden is also a forbidden garden in the inner court, and even the forbidden army cannot enter the garden. In addition to the palace slave on duty, the only ones who can enter are me and my wife. The one who climbed the wall can't be us. As soon as Xiao Shizhu said this, Li Hao and Li Chai suddenly realized, and when he finished speaking, he pointed at each other and nodded and dragged a long voice, and said, "Oh, it's a thief." ”。

"Tease. Xiao Shizhu smiled, beckoned to Li Hao, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, let's see if what I said is right, the soil on this soil seal is the same as the one in the Juexiang Garden." ”。

"No. Li Hao said and bent down to grab a handful of soil, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then walked to the wall casually, tiptoed against the wall, sniffed the mark, turned his head and said, "My lord, you guessed it, this is the flower mud in the Juexiang Garden." ”。

"That's right. Xiao Shizhu stroked his palm and said happily: "Cheng, let's go to the west wall to have a look." ”。 According to the ghost mother, the shadow disappeared somewhere, but the footprints were on the south wall, and to find out why, you had to go to the west wall.

"Wait, Brother Xiao. He just turned around and was about to leave, Li Chai immediately stopped him and said thoughtfully: "Brother Xiao, if this is really a footprint, it will be a little strange." ”。

"Tell me. Curious, Xiao Shizhu hurriedly stopped.

"Brother Xiao, you don't like to practice martial arts, you don't know anything, this palace wall nearly three zhang high, for a light skill master, there is no need to jump on it. In other words, he didn't need to use force to climb over this wall. Li Guess is famous for his sharp eyes, and after a closer look, he saw the clues, so he slowly analyzed Xiao Shizhu: "Even if the other party's light skills are a little worse, then at least two steps need to be borrowed, and the difference between the two footprints should not be more than three feet, so it is reasonable." But there's only one footprint on the wall. As he spoke, his gaze slowly moved from the corner to the top of the wall, and then slowly back to the foot of the wall.

"What does this mean?" Xiao Shizhu humbly asked for advice; martial arts were indeed his hard wounds, and he had to ask them for advice.

"Foot injury. "Li Hao, Li guessed in unison, and definitely returned.

"Brother Xiao, you are optimistic. Li Hao saw that Xiao Shizhu's face was puzzled, and he took off his shirt as he spoke, took off his belt after wrapping the stone, and tied the shirt wrapped with the stone with the belt to one of Li Chai's legs, and said with a smile: "Come, fly one." ”。

Li Guess nodded his head, then took a few steps back, lifted his breath and used his ability to fly on the grass, and jumped up on tiptoe after a sprint. But because of a stone falling from one foot, when his body was only three or four feet off the ground, he paused slightly, as if he had broken his work, and his body began to fall.

In a panic, Li Chai instinctively raised his foot that was not tied to the stone, bent his instep vigorously, kicked the wall in front of him with his toes, and jumped up again with his strength.

In this way, he stumbled in mid-air, and finally reached out to grab the wall, and relied on his arm strength to pull up, and barely climbed up.

Xiao Shizhu looked at it, and there was indeed only one footprint on the palace wall, which was almost similar in shape to the soil seal found before, and a trace of ominousness suddenly flashed in his heart.

"Interesting. Xiao Shizhu looked at Li Chai and smiled, and asked Qing Lan, who was familiar with the inner courtyard of the Ghost Mother Palace, casually, "What department is behind the south wall?"

"Back to the general's words, it's too hospital. These words were very soft, and to Xiao Shizhu's ears, they were like spring thunder, and his ears were ringing. He was quick-witted, and he was stunned in place, and the ring finger of his right hand trembled slightly.

"Look at the Western Wall. After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Shizhu turned around, and the fists hidden in his sleeves were already clenched, but he couldn't completely pour out the tangled and angry churning in his heart.

A few ghosts followed him and came to the bottom of the west wall to look around, but except for Xiao Shizhu, the others were all the same, and they didn't know what Xiao Shizhu was looking for.

In this way, I walked and stopped, and the west wall, which was no longer than hundreds of zhang, walked for about half an hour before I came to the middle of the west wall. Xiao Shizhu stood still here, looked left and right for a moment, took two steps forward and one step back.

Xiao Shizhu stood at the foot of the wall, raised his eyes and swept the wall, but saw that there was a thin crack on the roof of the wall. On the wall made of this whole brass, even the seams are golden, which is almost integrated with the wall, not too eye-catching, so that Xiao Shizhu almost missed it.

"Li Chai. Xiao Shizhu pointed to the slit and said, "Go and see what that slit is made of?"

Without saying a word, Li Chai jumped on the wall and squatted, looked at it for a long time before finding the slit, and looked at it carefully for a moment before he said slowly: "Brother Yi, this seam is straight, and the seam is relatively smooth, like a fishing line made of silk." ”。

"What are the characteristics of this fishing line?" Xiao Shizhu asked again.

"I know. Before he could speak, Yang Fengfeng replied: "Soft, smooth, and strong." It is said to be silk, but in fact, the silk pulp in the cocooned silkworm body is collected, and then laboriously pulled into a single strand of thick silk, and after drying, it becomes this kind of fishing line. ”。

"You really know everything. Xiao Shizhu praised Yang Fengfeng with a smile, but he thought about what this thin seam fishing line had to do with the disappearance of the black shadow.

"Women also use it to make paper kites. was praised by him, Yang Fengfeng was proud, and he said more, interrupting his train of thought.

Xiao Shizhu heard this, and hurriedly said to Li Chai, who was squatting on the wall like a bird: "Squat well." After that, he walked out of the Absolute Fragrance Garden with his ghost quickly. made Li Chai inexplicable.

After walking for a long time, Xiao Shizhu and the others came to the outside of the west wall, and shouted to Li Chai who was squatting on the wall: "Find me along the crack in the wall and see where it extends." ”。

He immediately raised his eyes to the left and right, and the thin slit was made of fishing line, so small that it was almost slimmer than an ant, and it was extremely imperceptible. And the crack on the wall only extends to the top of the wall before breaking, which can make it very difficult for Xiao Shizhu to be a ghost.

After looking for a long time, Li Guess found that there was a thin slit no more than a foot long on the side of the path outside the wall, which lay across the stone side of the path. He didn't dare to slack off, jumped off the wall and pointed to his discovery, and told Xiao Shizhu.

Xiao Shizhu looked closely, and there was indeed a thin crack in the ground, almost the same width as the one on the wall, the only difference was that there were two more small holes on the left and right sides of the dirt near the edge of the path.

Xiao Shizhu smiled.

He immediately guessed why the ghost mother couldn't feel the breath of the black shadow. After chuckling, he said, "Interesting, the trick in the human TV series." ”。

"TV series?" he didn't know what he was talking about, and he was stunned.

"That's right. Xiao Shizhu patiently told the black shadow first, and then said: "Actually, the black shadow can be anything, not necessarily a ghost." As long as it's not a ghost, it's naturally no ghost. ”。

"What's that?" he asked.

"Yang Fengfeng's paper kite reminded me that the black shadow may be something like a paper kite, or a piece of black cloth. Xiao Shizhu said and squatted down, pointed to the thin slit across the side of the path, and then pointed to the small hole in the soil next to him, and said: "The thief should have used a fishing line, one end was hung with a black cloth and placed under the middle wall of the Juexiang Garden, and the other end was held in the hands of the thief, and then the fishing line was fixed with a branch. And because it's a black cloth, it's not ghostly. ”。

Seeing that he was still ignorant, Xiao Shizhu said again: "Follow this crack to find the thief." ”。 But I couldn't help but say, "But don't be too hospital." ”。

He was given the order, and continued to look for it along the crack, and after a little more than a zhang, he found another, and there were small holes on both sides, and continued to the south.

After searching for an hour, I finally came to the south wall. The last crack is carved on the head of the south wall. Li Chai jumped up to the wall to take a look, but saw that inside the south wall under the crack, it was the location where the soil seal was found before.

Li Hao, Li Chai and Yang Fengfeng, suddenly realized. The line was fixed with a tree branch, with a black cloth hanging on one end at the head of the west wall of the Absolute Fragrance Garden, and the other end at the same time where they were. When the ghost mother found the black cloth swaying in the wind, she thought it was a black shadow. At this time, the thief on the south wall pulled the fishing line to connect the end, and the black cloth jumped over the wall along the fixed fishing line and flew out of the Juexiang Garden. Coupled with the high night darkness and high wind, the ghost mother mistakenly thought that the thief had escaped from the western wall. Afterwards, take away the branches that hold the line in place.

It's just that the thief didn't expect that this fishing line was strong, and some traces could fall between pulling and pulling.

"A good one to fight the west. Li Hao Li couldn't help but sigh, but Yang Fengfeng said thoughtfully: "Look at this thief's work, he is quite the true legend of Brother Xiao, and he likes to play with other people's noses." ”。

"Okay. Xiao Shizhu looked up at the Tai Hospital not far away, and what the ghost mother said flashed in his mind: "The secret agents of all forces in the underworld are good at hiding their aura. At the same time, thinking of the red clay prints, the thin seams made of fishing line, and the small holes left by the branches, Xiao Shizhu shook his head and sighed: "What a good student of mine!" As he spoke, he strode towards the Tai Hospital.

"Don't follow me, let's all go to lunch. After walking a few steps, Xiao Shizhu shouted at the ghost who followed him, and continued to go to the hospital without looking back.

After entering the Tai Hospital, I saw Imperial Doctor Zhang coming towards him, and saw that he was walking in a hurry, as if he was going to eat in a hurry.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, are you going to eat?" Xiao Shizhu stopped him and asked, "Is King Kong all right?"

"General. Imperial Doctor Zhang stood still in front of him, bowed his hand, and said: "Much better, according to the request of you and my lord, we not only received the Tai Hospital for recuperation for Lord King Kong, but also used the best deer live grass for the treatment of broken wounds; ”。

"That's ......" Imperial Doctor Zhang immediately looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and said: "It's just that Lord King Kong's right leg is too seriously injured, and I'm afraid it's ...... in this life", but he only said half of the words, and his embarrassment turned into shame with the voice.

"It's okay, I don't blame you, don't blame yourself, go eat. Xiao Shizhu patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Where is King Kong now?"

"The second entry into the courtyard, in the Jiazi room. Imperial Doctor Zhang bowed his hand again and turned to leave.

Xiao Shizhu didn't say a word, and walked quickly towards the second courtyard. After entering the courtyard, I quickly found the Jiazi room and went straight towards the half-open door of the Jiazi room.

When he came to the door, he didn't say a word, raised his leg and kicked open the door.

"General!" King Kong, who was sitting on the bed, was stunned by the sound of kicking the door, and ran away, but Xiao Shizhu, who was calm, stood at the door, and after being stunned for three seconds, he smiled and said, "General, are you back?"

"It's back. Xiao Shizhu responded, slowly moved to the side of the bed, pressed King Kong, who was about to get up and salute, and said: "I see that your face is ruddy and shiny first, it seems that I have been away for half a month, and I have been recuperating well." ”。

"For your blessing and to my lord. King Kong arched his hand and said, "Let your subordinates be flattered." ”。 There is nothing but sincere fear.

Xiao Shizhu inadvertently kicked down King Kong's shoes.
