Zhou Yazhao squirmed and pinched for a long time before turning his back and saying shyly:

"The most important thing for me is, naturally...... Naturally, it was chaste. ”

Song Che looked at her shy answer, and knew that she would say this. Chastity is indeed the most important thing for every woman.

"If he comes for your chastity, he is not a burglary, but a flower picker."

"Palm prints."

Zhou Yazhao said: "The old lady handed over the Zhou family's palm print to me, and I also regard it as more important than life. ”

"After you became the head of the Zhou family, are those uncles and aunts still honest?" Song Che asked.

Zhou Yazhao pouted, but didn't speak yet. Song Che pressed her hand again, "Touched it, it's dirty......"

"Oh, it's not dirty, how can it be dirty when I touch it often, besides, it's my own, I don't ......" She looked at Song Che with resentment: "Don't care about these details!" ”

Song Che laughed and motioned to continue.

Zhou Yazhao said: "Although I am the person who holds the palm print of the Zhou family, you are the big owner of the Zhou family's industry, even if they often respond to me, they will not have the idea of palm print." ”

Song Che said: "Then, the purpose of the thief is not a palm print, think about it again, but there is something important." ”

Zhou Yazhao pursed his lips, paced back and forth in the room, thought for half an hour, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he blurted out:

"Pearl White Jade Paste Formula!"

She said: "Since the pearl white jade paste has been sold, there have been countless counterfeits in Hangzhou, but none of them are as good as our white jade paste. ”

"That thief is probably here to steal the formula."

Song Che asked again: "Where is the formula now?" ”

Zhou Yazhao poked his head, "The white jade paste formula is the root of our jewelry shop, it is safer to put it in my head wherever it is, I didn't leave a paper formula at all, and in the workshop, I will only arrange one process for each worker, except for me, you, Wenjun, and the three of us, there will never be a fourth person in the world who knows." ”

So, who will come and steal the white jade paste?

Song Che still thought of someone, Qi Hong.

Marrying Zhou Yazhao as his wife is the most direct way to obtain the formula of white jade paste, and it just so happens that Qi Hong always has nothing to do, and he is undoubtedly the most suspicious.

But there are many people in Hangzhou who have snooped on the formula of white jade paste, and suspicion alone is far from enough.

If you can catch the thief who sneaks into the room, the truth will be revealed.

"The shop is guarded every night, there are dogs tethered in the yard, the roof is not accessible, and the windows are locked, so the thief must have entered through the gate, and I suspect that the thief is probably a 'house thief'."

"A thief?"

"Yes, only the house thief, the dog will not bark when he sees him, and the guard will not care, so it is possible to steal your key,"

Song Che asked, "Are you sure that the key to this room is really on your own for a moment?" ”

Zhou Yazhao thought for a moment, lifted his sleeve and said: "The key and silver are placed in the sleeve pocket, it will be inconvenient to hang when writing, and when lying on the stomach, it is easy to hold the arm, so every time I move the note, I will take out the silver and the key in the sleeve and put it in the drawer, and then put it in the sleeve after writing." ”

"That's right, a key is such a thing, you can simulate the outline by pressing a piece of ink, and then you can easily find a locksmith to reproduce it. Maybe it was during the time when you finished keeping your accounts and forgot to put the key back on your sleeve that the thief reproduced it,"

Song Che asked again: "The counter of the store shouldn't be accessible to ordinary employees, right?" ”

Zhou Yazhao said: "In addition to me, there are two other people who enter the counter, one is my assistant and deputy shopkeeper Xiao Fang, and the other is Feng Kun, who is specially hired to keep accounts. ”

Song Che said, "That thief is probably one of the two of them. ”

Zhou Yazhao was a little unconvinced, "Xiao Fang and Feng Kun are doing a very good job, if you hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have suspected them." ”

Song Che said: "Only the most trusted people around you know your living habits and know where to take advantage of loopholes so that you won't be discovered." ”

"And how are we going to find out the thieves?" Zhou Yazhao asked.

Song Che pursed his lips and paced a few steps in the room, when his eyes suddenly lit up and he approached Zhou Yazhao's ear:

"Let's do this and do that...... Finally, give him a waiter! ”

Zhou Yazhao was overjoyed after hearing this, and praised it again and again as a clever plan.

……

night

midnight

Silent midnight,

Chow Tai Fat jewelry store, in the backyard kennel.

Song Che, Lin Yue, and Zhou Yazhao were squeezed together with the other two rhubarb.

"Anyway, why do we have to be crammed into kennels? Can't you go inside and wait for the rabbits? Lin Yue rubbed the big yellow dog's head and asked.

Song Che said in a low voice: "Waiting for the rabbit is only the first step, if the thief really appears tonight, he will have to put a long line to catch a big fish." ”

"But he ...... Will it really come? We all squatted for almost two hours, and our feet were numb. Zhou Yazhao rubbed his legs and said.

Song Che couldn't be sure that his judgment was necessarily correct, he glanced at the crescent moon in the night sky covered by dark clouds, and said: "In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is the time when people are most tired, and people who walk in the dark sky often haunt at this time...... Well, let's squat for another half an hour, and if he doesn't show up, go back to sleep. ”

His legs, too, are numb!

"Goo-goo-goo......"

At this moment, Rhubarb suddenly raised his head and looked ahead vigilantly.

People are aware of it, and dogs are aware of it.

He's coming!

"Shhhh......h

"Rustle......" slight footsteps.

I saw a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe, carrying a dim lantern, looking around and tiptoeing towards Zhou Yazhao's boudoir.

It's Feng Kun!

Feng Kun came to the boudoir, quickly took out the key, opened the door and got in, and then secretly closed the door, everything was so careful.

"It's really day and night, and it's hard to prevent thieves! I'm not paying him a low salary! Zhou Yazhao was angry.

After a while, Feng Kun held a wooden box and sneaked out of the room, how to come, how to go, still so cautious.

"The fish has bitten the hook, let's go, let's follow and have a look."

"Song Che, my leg is ...... The leg is numb. ”

"The three-legged ones are not numb, and the two-legged ones are numb first......"

Song Che carried Zhou Yazhao on his back, got out of the kennel with Lin Yue, sneaked out of the back door, and hid in the alley for a while.

After a while, Feng Kun walked out of the store from the front door and walked briskly towards the southeast of the city.

After Feng Kun walked a distance, the three of them got out of the alley, quietly followed behind, and touched the melons along the vine!
