The stolen Song Mansion is located near the Eleventh Pavilion of the Capture and Guardian.

Although the parents of the Song family did not inherit the glory of the previous generation, they are now engaged in business and have saved a solid family foundation. At the same time, the officialdom relationship between his parents is more intimate and solid, and his status in Jin Jufang can be described as good.

Although the stolen property was valuable, it did not cause the Song Mansion to break its muscles and bones. The reason why the head of the Song family exerted pressure on the government office was because the loss of property was a small matter, and the loss of face was a big matter.

People live for a lifetime, don't they just fight for breath and have a longer face!

The pressure on the chiefs of the government department fell on the trappers layer by layer, and then it was the inferior fast hands who broke their legs.

Xue Sixiang followed behind the chief Huang Xinyong, and the distance remained at about two positions. Secretly looking at this chief, he is not tall, and by the standards of a middle-aged person, this chief can be regarded as well-proportioned.

"You practice knives on weekdays?"

Xue Siyi was startled when he heard the commander speak, and quickly tried his best to suppress his emotions, and said as smoothly as possible: "Yes! The residence is close to one of the military camps in the city, and he does not stand up the wall because of the rejection of horses, and he sees the officers and soldiers practicing in the morning and evening, so he secretly learns some." ”

The atmosphere fell silent, and the two buried their heads in the process.

probably felt that the chief intended to warm up and greet him, and his answer was too stereotypical, so Xue Sixiang remedied: "Huang Zhutou is really a god, even the little one who secretly practices the knife can see through it!"

Huang Xinyong is a full-time catcher, but he doesn't have the ability and the relationship between people and silver, and when he becomes the head catcher of the leader of the previous fang, Xue Siwei casually applied the title of the pig friends and dog friends to flatter himself to the chief, naturally he wanted to win favor.

Huang Xinyong did not correct this, but explained: "Although you are hunchbacked, your pace is brisk, your right arm is much thicker than your left arm, and the calluses on your right hand are mostly concentrated in the tiger's mouth and palm side, which is obviously only sharpened by practicing chopping movements for a long time." The sword is a gentleman's weapon, not something that can be held by our servants, and there is no chance in this life, so there is only a sword. ”

Xiao Kuaishou Xue Si flattered and said: "Huang Zhutou's reasoning is in line with the facts, his thinking is meticulous, and the true god is also catching! Where are we going now?"

Huang Xinyong's brows darkened, and Xue Sixiang, who was walking behind, naturally didn't see it, and waited diligently for the commander to give an order.

He was sent by the head of the arrest to assist in the theft of the Chasong Mansion surnamed Luo, and as a result, he came for three days and drank flower wine for three days. Huang Xinyong suddenly woke up to the fact that this surnamed Luo was not a bamboo in his chest, but he was really mediocre and incompetent. Now I have to break down with him and investigate the case in my own way, but I don't have any clues at hand. This "lack of four things" will inevitably not have much ability, in his opinion, it is just to guide the way and distinguish people, otherwise if you have a little ability, you can be a fast hand for so many years?

Huang Xinyong's voice sank: "Go to Song Mansion!"

The Song Mansion is located in the most expensive prime area of Jinjufang, and the mansion is divided into four entrances and surrounded by houses. The high outer wall is not only a proof of theft but also a demonstration of financial resources. The high walls are whitewashed, and the walls are covered with black tiles, which is quite elegant and elegant in the style of Lingnan construction.

Xue Sixiang led the captor Huang Xinyong to the Song Mansion, and the two stood in front of the mansion gate, looking at the prospects. The two vermilion lacquered wooden doors in front of him are inlaid with copper nails, and four hexagonal hairpins are nailed into the middle sill, and the corners of the doors on both sides are cast with drum stones of rhinoceros looking at the moon. If it is not the house of the eunuch, it is not placed in the side door, and there is an inconspicuous small corner door in the distance.

Xue Siyan slapped the door knocker hard, and the copper ring hit the auspicious Ruyi nail with a clear sound, and the doorman quickly opened the door crack, looked at the person with a lazy gaze, and yawned: "Who are you, visiting relatives or friends?"

Huang Xinyong flashed the iron plate on his waist and said, "Catch the house and do things!"

The doorman wiped his sleepy eyes, and when he looked at it, most of the inscriptions on the brand were unknown, but the style of this token was not fake. Presumably, no blacksmith would dare to risk losing his head to imitate the capture of cards, right?

"The two officials will wait a while, and the little one will report inside!"

Xue Siyi put his hand against the door panel, not letting the doorkeeper cover the door, the corners of his eyes rose, and said to the servant: "You can't delay the arrest of the house! You pass your report, we will handle our case, and we will not disturb each other." ”

As he spoke, he pressed his hand with a heavy force, and the young doorman was pressed back by him. Xue Siyi, who showed his skills, proudly crossed the threshold. Huang Xinyong didn't twist either, and followed his ass back into the house. For Xue Si's tricky hand, Huang Xinyong, who has high martial arts skills and higher vision, naturally disagrees.

The janitor was embarrassed, his face was red, and he also understood a truth in his heart, that is, the people did not fight with the officials, and ran back to the house in frustration to inform the steward of the situation.

The two fishers walked around the corner of the fence and finally stopped in the garden in the southwest corner. There are strange stone rockeries in the park, dig pits into a pond, and raise a color of golden koi in the pool. The ground plants planted Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum all over the place, and there is a locust root pier connected to the corner of the wall, which is probably an old thing that existed before the enclosure. The new owner couldn't bear to cut it down, so he kept it.

Xue Si couldn't figure out why his boss was standing under the wall and looking left and right at the old locust tree. The folk regard willow and locust trees as trees that emphasize yin qi, and they are taboo and rarely planted in the house. However, Xue Siwei had a good impression of the locust tree, just because the locust flowers and locust rice left by the locust tree are all delicacies that do not cost copper plates. At this moment, there are many ripe locust rice on the tree. Xue Siwei was a little greedy when he thought about it, so he pulled a few chrysanthemums and put them in his mouth to chew. After this blooming, there is a bowl of big chrysanthemums actually taste good, slightly bitter, after the sweetness lingers for a long time, and the refreshing aroma is full of mouth and nose.

This chrysanthemum is a foreign species, the owner has made a lot of effort to get it, and put in a lot of hard work to grow up, if you see the petals plucked and eaten, you have to scratch his face with the nails painted with Kodan.

Huang Xinyong sometimes bowed down to check his feet, and sometimes looked up at the wall tiles.

This wall is damp and dark due to the fact that the ground is often watered with flowers and trees, and the scorching sun is blocked by the canopy all year round, resulting in dampness and darkness, and the moss marks on the high part of the wall are black, and the moss in the lower part is very fresh. Huang Xinyong stretched out his hand to prop up the height of the wall, and the black moss that was dry and powdery in the high places fell off one after another, and the fresh and tender moss in the low places was also wiped off a large piece, and the juice stained his hands. Huang Xinyong wiped the stain away.

Looking at the wall again, there are only two handprints left by myself, and there are no other traces. Huang Xinyong originally speculated that the thieves relied on the locust tree here to shelter them, and just escaped from the house, hoping that they would leave traces of spiders and horses so that they could point in the direction of exploration. Now it seems that this group of thieves is clever and will never be bad.

"Where did Meng Langzi come from, trample on my master Lao Huai!" The voice was sharp, coming from the moon gate outside the park, Huang Xinyong looked up, but he looked at the crown of the old locust tree.

At the fork in the trunk, Xue Siwei spread his legs apart, stabilized his figure, and reached out to fish out a broken locust branch. After hearing the reprimand, I looked back and saw a woman who looked like a mother-in-law with her hands on her hips and angry eyes. Xue Siwei smiled awkwardly at the eldest woman in her forties, and said, "I see that this locust branch is about to break, and I am afraid that it will fall and hit Miss Gongzi in the house, and I am about to take it off." ”

"Fuck your fart! There has been neither strong wind nor torrential rain recently, and the locust branches are full of ripe fruits, and the good ones will break for no reason?" It turned out that Xue Si chewed chrysanthemums and was aroused by his appetite, looking at the delicious locust rice on the tree, he couldn't help but be greedy for the tree. Before he became a thief, he was caught.

Xue Si's sample name is not the word four, just because he was nicknamed "missing four", which is just homophonic to Xue Siyan. The four things that are lacking are: lack of gold and silver, lack of mother-in-law and aunt, lack of luck, and lack of heart.

Arrester Huang Xinyong ignored the mother-in-law's scolding, and said resolutely: "Cut down the whole section of the locust branch." Remember, it's the whole paragraph!"

Xue Si didn't know what to do, so he immediately executed the commander's order, and took a heavy iron ruler to knock hard at the bottom of the locust branch that was broken in two but not completely separated, and the locust branch broke in response. Under the tree, Huang Xinyong stretched out his hand and took the locust branch in his hand to check it.

It seemed that the eldest woman, who had a high status among the people of the Song Mansion, was even more unrelenting, screamed, and rushed forward, wanting to smash the bamboo basket in her hand on the liuzi under the tree.

Before she got close, a big hand pushed on the inside of her shoulder, and the eldest woman turned her head like a spinning top, turning into a fat belly towards people. Huang Xinyong unceremoniously kicked her in the ass, using skillful force, and the eldest woman jumped up immediately after falling into the grass and ran away a few steps, but her body was not damaged. The greasy but white face was slightly red, and there was actually a little girl's shyness after being teased by the disciples. Seeing Xue Siwei on the tree, he trembled for a while, and almost fell off the tree.

Huang Xinyong looked at the branch and found that the fracture was not a new one, which confirmed that the thief had indeed escaped from here. It's just that instead of using the old locust as a cover, he climbed up the tree from the shady side, but climbed directly from the front and jumped out of the wall. is so reckless, it seems that he overestimated them.

Knowing the thief's style, the case is not so tricky.

The steward rushed to the garden, a middle-aged man in his thirties, and his body was thin. With a goat's beard, wearing a thick cotton tunic and an inky snow robe, he has a bookish air and walks slowly, as if he is a master who can handle everything without being surprised.

The steward nodded at the eldest woman, "Aunt Cui, this is the chief of the Public Security Bureau, and he came here for the theft of the house, so you should avoid it!"

"Gotcha!"

The eldest woman surnamed Cui patted the grass clippings on her body, twisted her waist and left, and did not forget to look back at Huang Xinyong, who was sturdy, when she went out of the moon gate.

Xue Siwei came down from the branch, and the thin steward walked in front of him. He bowed his hand and said politely: "I have seen the two chiefs! ”

"Can the two chiefs make progress in investigating the case? ”

Huang Xinyong threw away the broken branch in his hand, and said in a gentle manner: "Steward Xu, can you please draw up a list of lost items in the house? It is better to have a detailed note of the appearance." ”

Steward Xu's eyes swirled on the iron plate single knife worn by Huang Xinyong and the iron ruler on Xue Sixiang's waist, and his body turned to Huang Xinyong quietly, and said: "This matter is not troublesome, there is a record of large and small things in the tent, and it can be done by calling people to reason." Do you want to go to the side hall for a cup of tea and rest?"

While speaking, a little guy was beckoned by Steward Xu, and after a few words, the little guy went straight to the warehouse.

Huang Xinyong watched the little guy leave, and said to Steward Xu: "Thank you Steward Xu for your kindness! There are a few questions in this room, and I want to bother Steward Xu to solve his doubts. ”

"The chief just speaks, Xu knows everything!" Steward Xu raised his voice to show his sincerity. Although his voice was a little shrill because of his small body.

"Who was the first to discover the thief who entered the house three days ago? When and what moment did the crime occur? Where exactly did the crime occur? Only one place was stolen or was all lost? Can someone see the thief or something suspicious? Can someone be absent from work, or which person who is usually lazy is particularly diligent that night? Can there be guests, playmakers, tailors, embroiderers, and other outsiders staying in the house that night?"

Steward Xu was thrown on his body by a series of questions, a little dizzy, rubbing his head to recall the scene that night.

Xue Siyan hid a handful of locust rice in his sleeve, and when he saw the chief's bright-eyed question, he couldn't help but secretly wonder: "It's rare to be a catcher with real skills!"
