Finally, someone sent the information needed for the summer solstice, and after reading it carefully, his consciousness sank into the heavenly machine and began to analyze it with the help of a virtual model......

There was a faint noise in my ears, and someone was constantly shouting and informing:

"Wan'an Mansion has an order, and the Qingfeng Festival lantern will be delayed for half an hour"

"This is Wei Gong buying time for our pursuit"

This is Hoda's explanation

"What's going on? Why are so many officers and soldiers coming out tonight?"

"Yes! I guess something happened."

"Something must have happened, my house was just searched twice"

"The soldiers who killed a thousand knives, they moved the old lady's chest of silver"

"Don't talk nonsense, we can't afford to mess with them"

"The old lady didn't talk nonsense, although the silver is not less, but the cotton clothes pressed on it have definitely been touched, and the old lady is obviously stacked well"

"Daddy, it's not peaceful tonight, you go and get all the children back"

……

The above is the nearby residents privately talking about tonight's anomaly, faintly in the ears of the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi, who closed his eyes, opened his eyes, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he was very puzzled.

The reaction speed of the Qinglong Guard in the outer city is very fast, and the reason should be because of tonight's Qingfeng Festival, so there are many guards on patrol.

As a result, the thieves did not have the opportunity to carry such obvious features and completely avoid everyone's eyes from the area.

Combined with the information obtained, even the summer solstice cannot find a foolproof route out of here.

But the neighborhood has been carefully searched twice, but no anomalies have been found, which is a bit unexplainable.

Could it be that the thief could still fly out of everyone's sight and escape?

It just seems to be reminding visitors that tonight's lights will be delayed for half an hour,

It should indeed be as Hoda said, delaying the search.

But the news of the accident will spread quickly, and some residents are already starting to be disturbed and worried......

Wait a minute---

"It seems that a woman just now said, 'The searchers of her house have turned over the chest where she hid silver, do you hear?'"

"I heard it, but no one would dare to make a fuss at this time, so it's likely that the woman herself remembered it wrong."

"Let's see"

This explanation made Xia Zhi's heart move and insist, and the group found the woman's residence.

"Little Lady Greetings to Adults"

A trembling middle-aged woman was brought to everyone

"Don't be nervous, it's just that there are some trivial things to ask you, and the official who answers well will be greatly rewarded, and if the answer is not good, the official will arrest people and raid the house."

"Plop"

Hearing that someone was going to be arrested and raided, the other party was so frightened that he immediately knelt down

"Your Excellency has wronged you---"

"Shut up"

The situation is urgent, and Xia Zhi at this moment has no time to give her a soft voice and do ideological work to be a good person.

"As long as you don't exaggerate, tell the truth and you'll be fine, this officer asks you:

You just said that the person who searched your house rummaged through your house's boxes? ”

"Adults forgive sins, it may be that the little woman remembers wrongly, and begging the adults to forgive the little woman's nonsense"

"You seem to have forgotten what the official just said, the official must listen to the truth, as long as it is the truth, no matter what you say, it will be fine"

"Adult ---"

"Summer Solstice ---"

Xia Zhi raised his hand and stopped Huoda's persuasion to speak

The woman's family should be considered good, and the interior is very tidy, and it is unlikely that such a person will mistake the things he has organized

"You're wasting your official's time, come here, tie up her family first"

"Spare your life! I said - I said ---"

"Then hurry up"

"Yes, yes, yes"

Xia Zhi endured the awkwardness in her heart, frowning and watching her keep kowtowing

"There were officials who came to search before, and after the officials left, the little woman went upstairs to take a look.

I found that the cotton clothes in the box had been touched, but the silver under the cotton clothes was not less."

"How can you be sure that someone has touched a cotton coat?"

"I don't dare to hide it, for yesterday I took the silver from the box, and then the little woman marked the cotton clothes that covered it."

"Why didn't anyone else in the family touch the cotton clothes in your box?"

"The little girl has never left the house, and besides--- no one else in the family dares to touch my things"

It seems that this woman has a great position in the family.

After Xia Zhi confirmed with her family, they all assured that they had not touched the box.

"Find out who searched the house to determine if they had touched the box"

"It may take a while"

Xia Solstice didn't pick up the stubble, and turned his head to look at the woman

"Take the official to see it"

"Yes"

Xiao Kui had to arrange someone to implement the things Xia Zhi explained, and then quickly followed.

Looking at the neat floor indoors, Xia Zhi frowned and asked

"The room is cleaned every day?"

"Well, I came to clean up after the officials who searched left, and I found the abnormality."

It is estimated that this woman has a habit of cleanliness, but it is more likely that she is worried about the safety of the stored silver.

However, even if there is a possibility of an anomaly, no trace can be retained.

The box is not large, and the volume cannot hide people, so there should not be much need to check it during the search.

Xia Solstice didn't look at the box for the first time, but walked to a closed back window.

Reaching out and pushing it down, but couldn't push it away, the woman hurriedly explained

"That window is a little deformed, it hasn't been opened for a long time"

"Smack"

The palm of his hand exerted force, the window was pushed open, and Xia Zhi's eyes froze.

Since it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, there was a clear half-broken footprint on the dusty window edge.

There is a waterway not far from the window, but there is a house in between, so you can't see the location of the incident.

"Brother Huo, come and see"

"What?"

"Let's see if it's possible for the thieves to pass through here at that time"

Hoda looked at it, recalled, and said with some uncertainty

"I'm not sure, because the house over there is just blocking the view, but it's very likely that thieves are passing through here"

Xia Solstice didn't bother with this problem anymore, and walked to the side of the box to open the box.

Looking at the several sets of cotton clothes inside, he asked after a moment of contemplation

"Do you have any big pieces of black fabric at home?"

"Nope"

"Go find a piece of black cloth at once, six feet long and six feet wide."

After the fabric was found, Xia Zhi took out two cotton clothes and stuffed the smaller one into the other.

Then the cotton clothes were rolled up with fabric, and Xiao Kui showed a sudden expression.

"Brother Huo, if the thief is holding this in his hand, can you tell that this is not a person but a cotton coat?"

"It shouldn't be noticed, the light outside is darker, and it's even more indistinguishable.

Besides, the situation was urgent, and no one paid attention to it."

"Let's go ---"

After Xia Zhi finished speaking, he stopped again, took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and stuffed it to the woman

"Yours Reward"

"Adult ---"

The group was very excited to follow the summer solstice and go out and rush back to the place of the incident.

Stop by a nearby waterway

"Brother Huo, did anyone of you notice this place at the time? Have you ever seen a person or a boat here? ”

Huoda glanced at Jiang Baihe and Zhao Qing on the side, and both of them shook their heads at him.

"Didn't pay attention"

Think about it again, did the thieves pass through here at that time?

"Yes, he landed here at the time, and then immediately jumped up again, but as soon as he fell, he didn't lose time."

"That's enough for him to take the opportunity to drop the bag, and then confuse the real thing"

Xia Zhi's tone was full of confidence, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Kui

"I'm tired of ordering the ship to be transferred immediately, and I need all the detailed search records of the nearby waterways after the incident."

"I'll arrange it right away"

"Are you sure they take the waterways?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten"
