Chapter 137: Ruyi Lost

"My transfer is gone!"

In the early morning of the Gu Family School, several students who were sleepy in the morning were about to lie on the table to make up for a while, when they were frightened by this sudden exclamation, and the only remaining sleepiness was instantly dispelled.

"What's going on? Wishful thinking is gone? Gu Huaishao's expression was grim when he heard this, and he walked in three or two steps to Gu Ming'an, who was looking for him in a panic, "When did you not see it?" Have you forgotten where you put it? ”

"I put it in my desk drawer when I got out of school yesterday evening, and it disappeared early this morning."

Gu Ming'an frowned, looking anxious and worried: "This wishful thinking has the miraculous effect of transfer, I just made my study run a little better yesterday, but I lost it today, how can it be so coincidental?" ”

"Cousin Ming'an, if you look for it carefully, it doesn't have to be lost, what if you put it in the bookcase last night?" Gu Huaishao was relieved, and at the same time picked up Gu Ming'an's still neat bookcase, "Look, you haven't found it in this bookcase yet, maybe it's here, don't be too pessimistic......"

"I've already looked for the bookcase, but I don't." Watching Gu Huaishao's action of rummaging through the bookbox, Gu Mingan seemed to be a little absent-minded, and after answering casually, his eyes wandered around intentionally or unintentionally.

"Not really." After flipping through the bookcase and still not finding it, Gu Huaishao's face became solemn, "Could it be that someone took it and didn't tell you?" ”

Wu Qimo snorted lightly: "What do you mean by taking it away and not telling him?" Isn't that stealing! This wishful thinking is so valuable, and it has the miraculous effect of transshipment, Gu Ming'an was so swaggering yesterday, maybe he was remembered by a thief! ”

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes twice: "This is a school, and the little maids usually don't come over, and the snitches outside can't get in, and Mr. Chen doesn't know about it." Knowing that you have Ruyi, and knowing that you left Ruyi at the school last night, are only those of us who are here......"

"Since Ruyi was still there when he got out of school yesterday, then this thief must have waited for everyone to leave, and then stole Ruyi." After sorting out the clue, Wu Qimo suddenly felt hopeful, and turned his head to look at Gu Ming'an, "Gu Ming'an, how many did you leave yesterday?" Who else was there at the school when I left? Just find someone who left the school later than you, and we'll be able to get the thief out quickly! ”

Gu Ming'an sighed, and the sorrow between his eyebrows did not decrease: "Yesterday, I reviewed my homework for a while, and I was the last to leave, and there was no one else in the school except me......

"What then? Isn't the clue broken in this way! Wu Qimo couldn't think of any other way for a while, so he frowned and fell silent.

Seeing that Wu Qimo was silent for a long time, as if he was really stumped, Gu Ming's peace of mind secretly scolded a fool, and he really couldn't wait, so he had to speak himself, pretending to be unintentional and reminded: "...... This thief doesn't have to stay at the end, he can wait for everyone to leave, and then turn back, so that it is not easy to be discovered......"

"Makes sense!" Wu Qimo's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, "But, how can we know who turned back?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Gu Ming'an's chest was stagnant, and he was so stupid that he almost pouted, and almost wanted to yell out the answer in front of him immediately, but fortunately, Xue Yue on the side interjected at the right time and helped him press this impulse:

"Isn't that easy? The school is close to the southeast gate, and it is the fastest to leave the Gu Mansion from there, just ask the little guy at the door, don't you know who has come back? ”

"But...... What I can think of, people must also think of, if those of us from other provinces want to steal Ruyi, the risk is too great. Speaking of this, Xue Yue paused, and his tone was meaningful, "So I think it's more convenient for people in the Gu Mansion to commit crimes, maybe it's a thief ......."

Gu Huaishao didn't expect that he was also suspicious, he was suffocated when he heard the words, his eyes were full of panic, and he waved his hand again and again to deny: "Cousin Ming'an, no, it's not me!" I didn't steal! ”

"-Look, I don't have anything." Gu Huaishao is a person who can't hide things, and he is eager to prove his innocence, so without waiting for Gu Ming'an to ask, he took the initiative to open the bookcase in front of everyone and turned the contents into pieces, for fear that others would misunderstand him.

Seeing this, the rest of the Gu family's children also followed Gu Huaishao's example, and opened their bookcases for Gu Ming'an to check, but they didn't find Ruyi.

In this way, in addition to Gu Mingan himself, there are only Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan who live in the Gu Mansion and have not checked the bookbox.

Feeling the gaze of everyone falling on him and Cheng Yan together, Gu Yunji's heart couldn't help but sink.

As soon as Gu Ming'an said that Ruyi was gone, Gu Yunji had a bad premonition, and later saw him pretending to act all morning, and sure enough, he still pointed the finger at him and Cheng Yan...... In other words, only Cheng Yan.

After going around and around for so long, he finally justifiably suspected Cheng Yan's head, Gu Ming was relieved and happy, and couldn't wait to walk to his desk, and said maliciously: "Cheng Gongzi, take out the bookcase and show it to us, do you still need me to urge you?" ”

Gu Yunji quietly stepped forward and stopped Gu Ming'an's figure: "Cousin Ming'an, what are you anxious about?" You haven't even read my bookcase, why is it Cheng Yan's turn? ”

"Isn't it all the same, what's the difference?" Gu Ming'an raised his eyebrows, and responded with kindness, "Okay, okay, then it's up to you first." ”

"Look at it - these are the four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper, inkstone; These are the four books: The University, The Mean, Mencius, and The Analects; This is the homework assigned by Mr. Chen yesterday; These are the ...... of recent exam questions"

Gu Yunji didn't look anxious at all, slowly took out the things in the bookcase, lit them up in front of everyone one by one, and then carefully put them back and placed them neatly, his movements were slow, as if he was dragging time.

"Gu Yunji, what are you grinding?" Gu Ming'an's patience ran out, snatched his bookcase, and shook out all the things inside. "Just let us see it clearly, okay? Is it enough to take so long just to flip through a bookcase? ”

After Gu Yunji's bookbox was checked, he still didn't find Ruyi, and now only Cheng Yan's was left, whether he stole it or not, the result will be revealed immediately.

For a while, everyone's throats rolled, their hearts were both nervous and expectant, their burning eyes seemed to be glued to Cheng Yan's bookcase, and their eyes stared at his rummaging movements without blinking.

Cheng Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly took out the things inside in turn to show everyone: brushes, rice paper, books, and rulers...... One by one, with the soft sound of the last inkstone falling on the table, the bookcase was emptyβ€”still not as expected.

Seeing this, the excitement burning in everyone's eyes was instantly extinguished.

Gu Yunji exhaled imperceptibly, and before his heart was completely put down, he heard an unrelenting voice in his ear: "If you don't find it in the bookbox, it doesn't mean anything, what if you hide it somewhere else?" At least I have to search the room where Cheng Yan lives, so that I can be completely relieved. ”
