Thinking of this, he fidgeted. He put on a shabby coat, picked up a scarf and a hat, and walked out of the house until he walked into the park, where he found a bench to sit down.

He thought: "I, Bai Lang, have always been regarded by others as a powerful and omnipotent Jiangyang thief, in my hands, there is nothing that cannot be done, now, I must find a way to save Wu Ji out." This was not only a challenge for me, but also a promise I made to Wu Ji at the beginning. ”

Thinking like this, Shirarou sat on the bench all the time, and he made an appointment to meet the female chef here tonight.

After a while, the cookess came in a hurry, carrying a basket of vegetables in her hand, walked to the bench and sat down, without looking at Bai Lang, pretending to be a stranger.

"How's it going, are things progressing?"

Bai Lang didn't turn his head for a moment, as if he was talking to himself.

"I found it, the ...... Golden, glass stopper. ”

"Did you bring it?" Bai Lang couldn't help but be surprised.

"Look, it's right here!" She put her hand into the basket, and Shirarou panicked. "Wait a minute, don't be here, come with me."

Bai Lang walked slowly into the market. The cookess approached him, as if impatiently, and shoved him into his pocket.

Shirarou shoved his hand into his pocket and felt a cold, hard, slippery little thing. He stole a look, yes, it was this glass cork.

He tightened the cork. At this time, the female cook was huddled in front of a food store, pretending to be shopping, and Shirarou squeezed through the crowd, stood behind the female cook, and said, "I'll be waiting for you at the back door of the middle school over there." ”

It was a place where no one came and went, and after waiting for a while, the female cook came.

"Where did you find it?"

"In the drawer of a small table next to Cheng Qiyan's bed, I found it this morning."

"I've looked there once, but there's nothing."

"I looked there once yesterday morning, and I didn't have it at that time. When I got up this morning to clean it, I found it, maybe I just put it in last night, right?"

"Oh, I see." Shirarou replied and put his hand in his pocket, intending to see if it was genuine. However, as soon as his hand reached into his pocket, his face changed, and even the corners of his mouth twisted.

"What's wrong?"

"The cork is gone! It must have been picked up in the crowd just now! ”

"What? Is there such a thing?"

"Listen to me, you have to be careful. Someone must have been following us, and when you handed it to me, he found out, and he took advantage of the crowd to steal it. It's too dangerous to stay here now, hurry back! Still, I'm going to hide in your room. At 5 p.m., I'll go look for you. ”

"Good!" After saying that, the two broke up.

At 5 o'clock, Shirarou quietly slipped in through the back door of the kitchen. When I got to the cook's bedroom on the third floor, I saw her standing there with no face on her face.

"What's wrong? Scares you like this. ”

The cookess shuddered and said, "Yes...... Ghosts! Somehow, that cork was put back in! ”

"Is it the same stopper?"

"That's right."

"So, who could it be that the cork that was taken from me was put back again?" Bai Lang bowed his head in contemplation.

"Maybe it was Cheng Qiyan's subordinates, maybe someone didn't want Cheng Qiyan to know that the cork was lost, so they put it back again. Now it seems that the second possibility is a bit more likely

Cheng Qiyan himself must have known that there were many people looking for this cork, so he pretended to be mysterious, as if there was really some secret document there, maybe he had already put the document elsewhere, but he used it to deceive his enemies, so he deliberately put the cork in a conspicuous place. It would be foolish if we were still dwelling on this. ”

After analysis, Bai Lang came to such a conclusion, and I believe that the person who put the cork back must have expected this. Who could he be?

"Is he my friend or my enemy? But one thing is clear, he is also desperately looking for the cork, and in short, this person is still a mystery. ”

For five days in a row, Shirarou stayed in the servants' rooms, waiting for an opportunity to reconnoitre, and every night, the security guards also sneaked into the courtyard and scouted everywhere like dogs.

These are all things that Bai Lang has seen with his own eyes. In the middle of the night on the sixth day, Cheng Qiyan brought back another person from outside and extorted 20,000 yuan from him.

Another day passed, at about 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, Bai Lang saw someone go up to Cheng Qiyan's room on the second floor in the dark, and he didn't know what he was doing. He ran to the top of the stairs and listened attentively, but heard one of them say:

"How's that...... Is there a way?"

"It's okay...... But I can't finish it tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow night! After that, the two never spoke.

Bai Lang thought to himself, "This house is really like a haunted house. Every night, inexplicable people sneak in and do some ghost tricks. These two people don't know what they want to do? Who are they?"

The next day, after Cheng Qiyan left home, Bai Lang went to check and found that on Cheng Qiyan's door, there was a door panel that had been moved by someone and could be moved at will.

"It seems that those two guys were the ones who burglarized in my house last night, and they said that they would come back tonight, and I must catch them with my own hands."

Shirarou was determined to catch them with his own hands so that he could find some clues.

He waited quietly for the night to fall. Night finally came, and there was no sound in the house, and Bai Lang crouched quietly at the top of the stairs, waiting for his prey to appear

After a while, the sound of pushing the window came from downstairs. Then, there was a slight sound of footsteps, which would never be audible unless you listened carefully.

The footsteps walked up the stairs step by step, and Shirakuro lay tightly on the floor.

"When, when" The clock of the house struck twice, and the footsteps stopped in front of Cheng Qiyan's room. Bai Lang looked and saw that there was no one in front of the door, and it seemed that he had already drilled into the hole in the door panel.

Bai Lang cautiously walked downstairs and stood in front of Cheng Qiyan's door, he looked through the hole in the door panel, Cheng Qiyan was lying on the bed snoring and sleeping, and his mouth made a "purring" sound.

On the chair in front of the bed, there were a few of his clothes, and a short figure was looking for something, only to hear a sound of "rustling".

At this time, Cheng Qiyan turned over, and the black shadow immediately stopped moving.

Shirarou quietly walked downstairs and hid on the road where he came, squatting there motionless. He was going to wait for the guy to get downstairs and catch him.

At this moment, Bai Lang listened intently, and from time to time there was a gust of wind from the window at the end of the corridor.

"Hah, it turns out that he slipped in through the window."
