After weighing the pros and cons, Dong Heng turned sideways to give way.

"Thank you Dong for taking charge." Yeats smiled brightly, raised his feet and stepped into the Red Courtyard, which had been hidden in the slums of the capital for several years.

Dong Heng snorted coldly, "Hurry up and take people away." "Don't interfere with his business.

Yeats smiled: "I don't know who it is yet, I want to find it." ”

"What?" Dong Heng's jaw dropped in surprise, "You don't know who it is, how do you know that he will be in Hongxiao Courtyard, and how can you find out the stolen goods?" ”

Yeats raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry, as long as it takes an hour, I will take the people and the stolen goods away." ”

"You ......" Dong Heng regretted and wanted to kick people out, and looked at Yang Fuquan, who was stunned behind him, not angry, I'm not angry, I want to see how he finds the stolen goods, and the words of the silversmith will not be written on the silver and silk.

After lunch, Pei Jingning's spy appeared in Shaoqing's official room, and after the secret guard returned, Mr. Zheng was so surprised that he lost his temper: "How is it possible, a weak boy with no roots and no foundation can enter the Red Courtyard?" ”

In a private room in the bookstore, the news of the shopkeeper Dong also reached the owner.

"Childe, the one surnamed Ye looks thin and weak, and his skills are extraordinary."

At the beginning of May, outside the window, the wind blows, the faint fragrance of flowers blows to the face, and sometimes a few small stamens fall quietly.

On the couch in the house, the young man looks delicate and handsome, the sun shines through the window on the sharp face, with a little sickly as if he has not seen the light all year round, wearing a silver-white round-necked robe, wide robe and wide sleeves, there are white clouds on the edge of the robe with strokes, extremely elegant, the narrow waist is tied with a silver-edged white belt, and the whole person is beautiful and indistinguishable.

After a while, he suddenly said, "What a master! ”

In Shaoqing's official room, the spy replied: "Yes, sir, it's true, he and Yang Fuquan attacked the gate of Hongxiao Courtyard one by one, and then mixed in with the prince through the Holy Lord." ”

"How do you borrow the law?" It's incredible.

"With the attention of the saint, the favor of the prince."

Pei Jingning put his arm on the side of the desk, and his fingertips tapped the table in a rhythmic manner, "The thugs of Hongxiao Courtyard are not weak. ”

"Yes, sir." Mr. Zheng immediately said: "My subordinates have heard that Yang Zhong's son fights as if he is dying, so that the catchers dare not talk to him, and his brain is spindle, and he can't even do such a small job as running errands and delivering news. ”

"Where is the little thief now?" Pei Jingning asked the secret agent.

"At lunchtime, Yeats took the little thief he caught to eat in the small restaurant, and it is estimated that he will return to Dali Temple in an hour."

"yes, I see." Pei Jingning waved his hand and let the spy disappear.

Before leaving, the spy said: "My subordinates listened to Yeats's meaning, and the ten members of the pottery and silversmith's family in the south of the city were not killed by thieves. ”

"He means that stealing and killing are two gangs?" Zheng Wenxuan looked at Pei Jingning, "Then what does he mean by catching the little thief back?" ”

At the beginning of the afternoon, Yeats handed people over to Dali Temple, thinking that he would not be able to enter Dali Temple, but he didn't expect Pei Shaoqing not only to let her in, but also to let him inquire.

Qin Dachuan thought that Yeats would be very excited, but as a result, he was calm and stable, like an experienced head catcher, and sat in the interrogation room of Dali Temple.

There is a small thief sitting opposite, there are several pieces of broken silver on the table, several pieces of gold and silver hand ornaments, silver is a circulating goods, there is no logo except for the year name of the Great Wei Dynasty, but the gold and silver hand ornaments have the LOGO of the potter's silversmith shop.

The little thief was so frightened that he cried bitterly, "I really didn't kill him, really, it's not me, I just want to steal some money and have a good time." ”

Yeats didn't say a word, walked up to him with a kitchen knife, grabbed his hand and compared, the little thief was so frightened that he retracted his hand, "You can't force a confession, I didn't kill the person, I resolutely don't admit my guilt......"

Qin Dachuan and Yang Fuquan stood on the left and right, inexplicable about Yeats's behavior, what was she doing, didn't she say that the Tao family was not killed by a thief? Why did you forcibly bring the kitchen knife to this person, do you want to force him to confess?

Yeats deduced that the little thief had never touched the kitchen knife, but for the sake of the rigor of the case, she still compared the fingerprints on the kitchen knife with one by one, and it was indeed not him.

Outside the interrogation room, Pei Shaoqing and others stood at the window, watching how Yeats interrogated the little thief, and as a result, they were holding a kitchen knife and comparing them, could they tell if this person had ever held a kitchen knife?

After the comparison, Yeats collected the kitchen knife, sat down at the table, and asked, "Who guided you to the silversmith's house to steal?" ”

"I didn't kill anyone...... the little thief was afraid that he would be beheaded, so he only focused on the question of not killing anyone.

"I know."

I know, her mother still arrested him.

The little thief's mentality almost collapsed, and he yelled: "My lord, you know that I didn't kill anyone, and you still arrested me in Dali Temple?" "There is no entry or exit in this place, he is afraid.

"You have been to the scene of the crime and stole so much money from the pottery silversmith, you are the suspect, is there anything wrong with arresting you?"

"I ......," the little thief was anxious, "when I went to steal that night, none of them died, they were all alive and well." ”

"They're not dead, you won't make a sound when you rummage through the cabinets, they can't hear it?"

The little thief recalled: "It is strange to think about it now, that night, the couple were lying on the table, and they didn't even wake up when I slipped into the bedroom and touched the stool. ”

When the little thief went to steal, the Tao family was already stunned.

Yeats continued to ask: "Why did you go to Tao's house to steal, was it a sudden thought, or did you step on it?" Yeats had a gentle expression, not at all like a judge in a case.

"The mother-in-law of the Tao family is shrewd and doesn't let go of a penny in business, I think his family must be rich."

"Why did you choose to go to theft on the first day of May?"

The little thief thought for a while and said, "I heard that they believe in Buddhism, and they have to go to incense on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. ”

"You've rummaged through all the rooms?"

The little thief was wronged and hurriedly said, "There is no money in other rooms, what am I doing with him?" ”

"How do you know that there is no money for other rooms?"

"This ......," the little thief thought for a moment, "as if I had heard it somewhere, and as if someone had told me about it, and I couldn't remember it." ”

Yeats said, "This is the crux of this case, if you can't think of it, then you will have to bear the guilt of these ten people......"

"I didn't kill anyone, you can't bend to it."

"Then think about it, whether you heard it in your ears when others were chatting, or whether someone deliberately spoke in front of you."

The little thief thought hard, "It seems that a few women are chatting, and I have kept the gossip in my heart." ”

"When did you remember those women?"

"It was probably the day of Qingming in April, there were many people in the streets and alleys, and those women got together, and I was idle and passed by to listen to an ear, and I happened to be shy in my pocket, so I stepped on a little bit, and pinched the first day of May to come over to steal money."

"Do you remember the women?"

"I don't remember much." At that time, he was patronizing to see if there was any money, and he really didn't pay attention to the woman's appearance.

"Just say you remember."

"I just remember one of them was very fat, and from time to time she raised her sleeve to reveal her silver bracelet when she spoke, and I looked at it as worthless, and looked down on it."

"That street?"
