Chapter 40: Theft of Paper Figures

At this time, in the room, there were some boxes, not big, each box was locked, and it was impossible to see what was inside, the housekeeper stepped forward, picked up a box, put it in front of Qi Zixiao, opened the lock of the box, and revealed the gold, silver and jewelry inside.

"This box is lost property, when I came to check, I found that the lock was broken, it seems to be bitten by something, lost fifty taels of silver, I thought it was my own people guarding and stealing, but, after checking a circle, I found that it should not be my own person, so I reported to the official, the result was not two days, the property was stolen again, this time it was a gold hairpin, jade bracelet and calligraphy and painting ......"

The butler opened his mouth with a wry smile.

"I've checked the whole room more than a dozen times, and there is no trace of outsiders coming in, and the ground is covered with a layer of lapis lazuli, and it's impossible to get in if you want to make a hole."

Lapis lazuli has a hard texture, even if a second-grade martial artist shoots with all his strength, it may not be able to shatter a stone.

Qi Zixiao nodded, it didn't seem to be digging a hole to come in.

He scrutinized the room, not even the window paper.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he looked upwards, where there was a hole the size of a fist, and the sunlight shone down, making the room extremely bright.

"What does this hole do?"

Qi Zixiao suddenly spoke, pointing to the entrance of the cave.

"It's for ventilation."

The butler spoke.

"This hole should be able to transport silver out, right?"

Qi Zixiao muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Zou Ying suddenly laughed, "Qi Zhutou really likes to joke, such a small hole, I'm afraid a slightly larger mouse can't pass through, let alone a human." ”

The housekeeper also laughed, obviously thinking that Qi Zixiao was joking.

Qi Zixiao didn't say anything, he searched the ground carefully, and suddenly, he stopped, squatted down, and picked up a shard the size of a fingernail.

It seems to be a piece of paper, scraped off by something.

Looking at this fragment, Qi Zixiao vaguely felt a little familiar, the material was rough, it seemed to be the kind of material from a paper shop.

Zou Ying and the official family also squatted down, looking at the fragments curiously, a little incomprehensible, "Qi Zhutou, what did you find?" ”

Qi Zixiao looked at them and asked with a smile, "This is where you put your belongings, how can there be scraps of paper?" ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper didn't care, "Maybe it was blown in by the wind, maybe it's a big deal." ”

Qi Zixiao put away the shredded paper, shook his head, and said, "Seal the hole, otherwise, I'm afraid I will continue to lose things." ”

Although Zou Ying felt strange, she nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone block the hole when I go back." ”

Qi Zixiao nodded, left the room, and came out of the Zou family, Zou Ying was going to invite Qi Zixiao to have a meal, but he politely refused.

Walking on the road, Qi Zixiao's eyes were cold, "It seems that there are some bull ghosts and snake gods who are making small moves, which is really bold." ”

From this piece of shredded paper, Qi Zixiao sensed a special power, not spiritual power, but approaching it, exuding a gloomy and cold aura.

He came to a paper shop, there are all kinds of paper people at the door, there are men and women, as well as paper sedan chairs, paper boats, and even paper houses, the shop owner looked at Qi Zixiao, with a smile on his face, "This official, do you want to buy some paper people, my family's paper people are all made by the best masters, and now our store is very rewarding, buy three get one free,......"

Qi Zixiao walked around the other party's shop, and found no special aura, just an ordinary paper shop.

"Have you bought paper figurines from you lately?"

Qi Zixiao looked at the other party and asked in a deep voice.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he asked curiously, "How is it special?" ”

"It just looks weird."

Qi Zixiao said casually.

"No, the people who can come here to buy paper are all dead people in the family, and I look weird."

The shopkeeper smiled wryly.

Qi Zixiao didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party anymore, so he left directly and rushed to another paper shop to find out if there was any special atmosphere.

After walking four or five houses in a row, Qi Zixiao did not find any supernatural aura.

This made Qi Zixiao understand that the problem was not on the paper shop, but on the person who used it behind it.

Now, he can only wait for the other party to make another move, or see who in Qingxian suddenly gets rich, after all, if he gets the money, anyone can't help but spend, otherwise, why steal this money.

Back at the county office, Qi Zixiao came to Shen Yue and asked how it was going, Shen Yue smiled bitterly, "Head, I just notified them, and it's not so fast." ”

Qi Zixiao nodded, left the county office again, came to Yizhuang, and saw Li Shenzhou.

He told the other party what he had encountered in the past two days, hoping to get some opinions from the other party, Li Shenzhou heard his words, smiled and shook his head, "Little guy, don't tell me this kind of thing in the future, if you don't have me, won't you be able to solve the case yourself?" ”

Qi Zixiao shook his head, "That's not it, it's just that I think Uncle Li, you are experienced, so you can let me take some detours." ”

Hearing this, Li Shenzhou was silent for a while, and slowly spoke, "All the problems you are facing now are actually not a big deal in my eyes, and when you get out of Qingxian County in the future, you will understand the real horror, this thing cannot be dealt with alone, and you can't survive in a more sinister environment at all......"

"Boy, you have to remember that in any situation, the only thing you can rely on is your own ......"

Hearing Li Shenzhou's words, Qi Zixiao smiled bitterly and nodded, "I understand." ”

"Very good, I'm looking forward to your performance."

Li Shenzhou smiled and nodded.

……

At night, the moon and stars are scarce, and there is silence in Zou Mansion.

Everyone was asleep, at the door of the warehouse, the three big men with knives were also drowsy, at this time, the hole above the room, was only covered by a tile, suddenly, the tile was transferred, there was no movement, a beam of moonlight fell, revealing a miserable white paper man!

With a strange smile on his face, the paper figure shrunk into a ball and slowly emerged from the hole.

It fell silently, without making a sound on the ground.

The paper man stretched his body, looked at a box, walked over like a ghost, stretched out his arms, and the lock on the box was shattered by a terrifying force, and fell to the ground silently.

Opening the box, the paper man looked at the jewels in it and picked up two jade necklaces and a golden hairpin.

Slowly closing the box, the paper man held the jewelry, and his body suddenly rose into the air, concocted in the same way, and passed directly through the hole.

Covering the tiles, the paper figure leaped up from the roof and flew into the distance.

All this was done without knowing it, and the three guards under the roof were not aware of it.

The paper man made his way to a slum.

In a dilapidated and abandoned house, an oil lamp is lit, and a vague figure can be seen faintly in the room.

The paper man quickly entered the courtyard, the wooden door "creaked" open, the paper man was caught in by a pair of old palms, and the next moment, the oil lamp went out, and only a seeping laugh could be heard.
