"I went out early this morning, first went to the vicinity of the Li Mansion, and made a detailed investigation, but found nothing. I only saw that the front and back doors were guarded, as if they were really guarding against thieves and snitches, which made people feel very ridiculous. ”

They still think it's "flying in the sky"? Didn't you explain it to them? ”

"Of course it can't be, I haven't caught the real snitch, and I have no evidence, how can I talk so rashly and casually? If you talk rashly and casually, and it will prove wrong in the future, won't you be bored and humiliated? But everything must be done before acting, it must be prudent, many times silence is the wise, and many words are just fools. ”

"That makes a lot of sense, but what about later?"

"Because I couldn't find any clues, I went to No. 13 to find Gao Laosi, but I didn't see it."

"Well, Gao Laosi should indeed pay attention, but could it be that he has already gone out in the morning?"

"No, I met his brother Gao Xiaoliu, he said that his brother did not come home yesterday, and when he inquired again, he said that he seemed to have gone out of the city, but he didn't know the detailed address. I went to Zhonghua Gate again, and only when I came back did I go to the Li Mansion, which I promised them yesterday. ”

"You go to see Li Wenchang, is there any new progress?"

"No, I'm going to just ask for a word."

"What are you going to ask?"

Nie Xiaoman heard this, but he looked at the ground strangely, and spoke hesitantly, as if he refused to say everything, so he said after a while: "There is nothing important, I just asked Li Wenchang if he ate some snacks and fruits when he watched the play the night before." He replied that he said no. ”

What's that? Dim sum fruit?

Jing Mo was a little puzzled for a while, and asked, "Doesn't your question seem abrupt?" Do you have any reason? ”

Nie Xiaoman seemed a little unhappy, and said, "Why do you always like to ask long and short questions, ask this and that, and ask so much?" That's all I did today, please don't ask, isn't Peach Blossom Lake just ahead? ”

Jingmo had no choice but to remain silent and didn't ask any more, but his heart was full of doubts, and he was really uncomfortable. The two went to the bathroom and walked directly into the champion room. At this time, the bathing place in Jinling is still the old standard, divided into three levels of private rooms: first-class champion room, first-class foreigner's room, and ordinary room, and the charges are naturally very different.

Because it was still early, there were not many guests taking a bath. Nie Xiaoman immediately stripped off his clothes and went to wash, and Jing Mo also followed him. After about a pillar of incense, after taking a bath, he walked out of the bathroom, Nie Xiaoman was refreshed, and his spirit was more upbeat than just now, he chatted with the waiting bathroom service staff, and he actually chatted with his eyebrows. Judging by his expression, is the purpose of coming to the bath this time to listen to something? Because Jingmo seemed to hear Xiaoman's words in the service provider.

At this time, another bather suddenly approached Jingmo and greeted him. Jing Mo was shocked! When he looked back, it turned out to be Feng Yunqi, the follower of the Li Mansion. Nie Xiaoman also saw it almost at the same time, his face was a little red, and he seemed to be completely surprised, so he immediately stopped talking.

When the service saw this, he immediately walked away in recognition.

Jing Mo knew in his heart that Nie Xiaoman was visibly regarded as his opponent against Feng Yunqi. Xiaoman happened to be here today to inquire about some news, and suddenly such a person jumped out, and he was naturally unhappy in his heart.

Nie Xiaoman's face immediately changed, and he asked Feng Yunqi to sit beside him with a smile. Feng Yunqi agreed, pulled the dark bathrobe, and then sat down on Nie Xiaoman's next seat.

Feng Yunqi asked Nie Xiaoman: "I won't salute Lord Nie here, my lord's case, I think I already have a plan, I can know some general situation, right?" ”

Nie Xiaoman's face was slightly red, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, and tried his best to pretend to be indifferent and said: "I didn't know, I was dragged by a friend yesterday, so I observed it, I was not interested in these tedious things, but it was just because of my friends." However, I have heard that you have always been very alert, and now that you have been entrusted by your master, you must have a unique opinion, and I am more than willing to ask you for advice to make up for your ignorance. ”

Nie Xiaoman was originally a person with a meritorious reputation, and no matter how capable this surnamed Feng was, he would not be a subordinate of his follower, and the identities of the two parties were one in the sky and the other on the ground, and there was originally a difference between cloud and mud. However, this surnamed Feng has a very high self-esteem, and Xiao Man's words can be regarded as giving him enough face, and Feng Yunqi can't help but smile, and the original arrogant expression on his face is retracted.

Feng Yunqi said: "My lord, you are too polite, if you don't give up, we will share what we see and learn from each other, what do you think?" ”

Jing Mo was very happy when he heard it, Feng Yunqi had some brains to solve the case, he had already heard about it, but now listening to his conversation, I don't know if there is anything that matches Nie Xiaoman's views?

Nie Xiaoman actually agreed: "That's fine, according to me, this case is quite tricky." ”

Feng Yunqi hurriedly asked: "It's really tricky, I just don't know which aspect the adult is referring to?" With this attitude, he came up and took the army of Xiaoman a little, Jing Mo couldn't help but look forward to it.

Clinker Nie Xiaoman just said slowly: "How can such a famous snitch be easy to arrest?" ”

Feng Yunqi also suddenly asked coldly, "Oh? Adults also think that the main thief in this case is "flying in the sky"? ”

Jing Mo was greatly surprised in his heart, and at this time, Nie Xiaoman's face also changed, and he looked at Feng Yunqi without moving.

Nie Xiaoman asked in a low voice, "Aren't the messengers in the yamen all saying this?" ”

Feng Yunqi smiled and said, "We don't have to blame these people who are in charge of the six doors. But if we want to get the truth, how can we blindly follow it? I don't think this snitch is "flying in the sky"

Nie Xiaoman asked in horror, "Really?" …… Well, yes, this is certainly suspicious, but on what basis do you infer that the thief is not "flying in the sky"? ”

Feng Yunqi said: "When I first saw the footprints, I was puzzled. The footprints came in through the back door and went to the bedroom, and there was no sign of a pause and hesitation, as if they were someone who knew the door well. If it's a thief from outside, you can't do that, so it's hard to guarantee that no one is fake, that's the first point. As for the second point, the letter of intimidation is even more proven. ”

"Oh, how so?"

Adults naturally know that "Plugging in the Sky" is a big snitch with a lot of ability, and he deliberately left his name after committing the crime, indicating his arrogance, and he seems not afraid of being arrested. Now the meaning of the letter is that he is afraid that the master will pursue it, and deliberately threatens it, since he is afraid of being arrested, why should he leave his name? Isn't it a contradiction to leave a name but be afraid of being followed? As long as I pay attention to these two points, I conclude that the snitch is not "flying in the sky". ”

Feng Yunqi's words were reasonable and well-founded, especially the words that Nie Xiaoman had never said, which made Jing Mo admire on the side. I thought to myself, why is Xiaoman so unlucky, he was half involved in dealing with this theft case by himself, and he also met such a strong opponent! No wonder Xiaoman has concerns in his heart, afraid of being restrained.

Now it seems that two horses are galloping together, and everyone wants to compete for the lead, even if Nie Xiaoman has the advantage, but if he wants to monopolize the Oiran, I am afraid he can't do it, it is unexpected. Wouldn't this be a great misfortune for Nie Xiaoman?

Jing Mo squinted at the two of them with his gaze as he pondered. Nie Xiaoman's face changed greatly, his eyes stared at the ground, rubbing his hands, and he heard the sound of knuckles bending, and after a while, he stroked his chin with his hand and pondered, and his frustrated and disappointed face was clear at a glance.

Feng Yunqi was full of pride, one win and one loss, it seemed that it was a foregone conclusion. Seeing it in Jing Mo's eyes, he faintly began to feel uneasy, and began to worry that his friend had fallen behind.

After a while, Nie Xiaoman said slowly: "Brother Feng's high opinion is indeed reasonable, I admire your talent very much. I envy Brother Feng's insight, which is truly worthy of his reputation. ”

Feng Yunqi showed a smug expression and said, "This is just my speculation, don't win the prize." So, dare to ask adults, what do you think? ”

"I agree with you, stealing is not a thief."

"So, what evidence is there or not?"

"I've searched for it, but I haven't gotten any corroborating evidence yet."

Feng Yunqi laughed and said, "However, I have obtained some evidence. ”
