"What did I cover up with him? Didn't he make it clear? He said that he had picked it up in the corner, so he was glad to put it back in the box. He didn't know that the bead had become a fake! ”

"Phew! You still believe in him! You're still protecting him at this time! ”

These few lines of dialogue made Nie Xiaoman's body shake slightly. He turned his head and winked at Jing Mo with his eyes open, suggesting that this time was also beyond his expectations, and Jing Mo was naturally surprised.

This bead has become a fake!

It's so weird! Jing Mo thought that the mystery of this case should be immediately understood, who knew that there would be another change, and the originally clear facts of the case were hidden in a fog.

How could this bead become a fake? Is it Meng Zheng who has done something again? Jing Mo didn't have time to think, and hurriedly listened to the conversation that was still going on in the room.

Tian Youyu said angrily again: "You are obviously protecting him, and you told me that the beads have been picked up, which makes me happy!" Don't you know that our one is slightly crimson, with two strands of red silk wrapped around it? You see, it's a pure white one! ”

The woman said with a weeping voice, "If I had seen it a long time ago, I would have been able to discern it." But at that time, when I heard that the beads had been found, I liked it so much. Meng Zheng had already hidden the beads back in the box, so I didn't take them out to check them again. ”

When Nie Xiaoman heard this, his lips suddenly closed tightly, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to have thought of some plan. Then Xiao Man pulled Jing Mo back two steps and stayed away from the door, before whispering to Jing Mo.

"The matter has become serious, the beads have changed, and it is clear that they have really gone outside. The most important thing at the moment is how to try to recover the pearl. ”

"Yes, what do you have to do now?"

"The first step is to find this Tian Mengzheng first, and then ask for clues from him before there is a way to follow him."

"Makes sense, but where to find him at the moment?"

Nie Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "The reason why Tian Mengzheng went out may be for the sake of the true pearl. But if he can do such a thing, he will certainly not fail to communicate with the outside world. Let's go down there and ask if there are any letters to him these days. ”

Jing Mo agreed: "Yes." If he communicates, he must pass through the hands of the innkeeper. ”

Nie Xiaoman stopped talking, and hurriedly went downstairs first, and Jing Mo also retreated. When the two arrived in the tent, Nie Xiaoman gave a brief explanation to an older tent man with three wisps of beard, and a white-faced young man who specialized in letters answered to Nie Xiaoman.

The young man was very well-behaved, and asked crisply: "Uncle, are you asking about the guest surnamed Tian of the thirteenth Tianzi?" Is there a field of poultry? Or Tian Mengzheng? ”

Nie Xiaoman responded: "I only asked Tian Mengzheng." ”

The young man said, "Yes, uncle." He had several letters, almost every day. About half past night, he received a quick letter. ”

Nie Xiaoman's eyes suddenly rolled a few times as fast as lightning. "Alas, a quick letter? Did you receive it? ”

"Yes, uncle, I also gave it to him with my own hands."

"Do you think there's something unusual about that letter?"

"Strange? Well, it's a bit weird. ”

"Isn't there something bulging in the envelope?

The boy was amazed and asked, "Really!" Uncle, how do you know? ”

Nie Xiaoman didn't answer, but continued to ask, "Do you know what is bulging?"

"I don't know, uncle, but I remember that the boy seemed very surprised when he received the letter, and then his eyes widened and he seemed to be a little angry."

"Did he take it apart and look at it?

"Nope. He looked down for a moment, then wrote a few text messages to send, and then went upstairs. ”

Nie Xiaoman's eyes rolled a few more times, and he asked, "There should be the sender's address on the fast letter, do you still remember?" ”

The young man suddenly raised his head and tried to recall, Jing Mo's heart suddenly jumped, this is the most important key, can he remember that address?

Unexpectedly, the young man thought about it for a while, and then nodded in response: "Well, I remembered." That's supposed to be Putty Pavilion. ”

Jing Mo almost screamed, alas! It's Putty Court again! Wouldn't these two things be connected again!

Nie Xiaoman asked calmly, "What is the number of Puti Pavilion?"

The young man thought about it again and said, "I don't know very well, it seems to be seventeenth. ”

Could it be the number seven? Could he be mistaken? If this is the case, these two cases are implicated in each other, and they will really become one case again! A case of a child stealing beads, Jing Mo never imagined that there would be such twists and turns!

Nie Xiaoman asked again: "So, the person who sent the letter may have a name, have you ever noticed this?"

The boy muttered, "Well, I remember very well, there is only one Lin character, but no name."

Hearing this, Nie Xiaoman's concentration was also out of control. Although he did not lose his voice and exclaimed, a "ah" word had already come out of his throat. Then, he thanked the young man, rewarded him with two coins of silver, and pulled Jing Mo out of the inn.

Xiao Man walked outside the door and whispered to Jing Mo, "Jing Mo, things are changing too fast. Bear with the hunger in your belly, and hurry to the Putty Pavilion to try to find out what kind of person the seventeenth is. If you can get an idea, you can go back to the cat and wait for me. I have to go upstairs to see the fowl in the field, and I can't go with you. Hurry up, the mule cart is still outside. Remember that the sooner the better! ”

Jing Mo was also a little overly surprised, and he couldn't speak for a while, and after listening to Nie Xiaoman's instructions, he immediately responded, turned around and ran towards the position of the four-wheeled mule cart. Unexpectedly, Nie Xiaoman caught up from behind again.

"Hey, Jingmo, wait a minute, if you meet that child Mengzheng, don't greet him, but quietly follow his trail. If you find a certain location, go back and report it! ”

Jing Mo answered again, walked to the four-wheeled mule cart again, and then explained the location to the coachman, then jumped into the car, and waited until the wheels moved, heading north, Nie Xiaoman had already returned to the inn to find Tian Youyu.

By this time, it was completely dark, the shops on the road were brightly lit, and most of the people in the shops were eating dinner. The mule cart proceeded quickly, and in a short time it was at the corner of the Putty Court. Jing Mo jumped out of the car, turned a corner, and after a few steps, he approached the row of new houses.

Jing Mo passed in front of the No. 7 Yan family first, and saw that there was no light on the building window. But on the opposite side of Room No. 7, there was a short-bodied man in black wandering there, and Jing Mo judged that the person's outfit was probably Nie Xiaoman's or Ji Shaoquan's faction monitoring there.

Jing Mo continued to move forward, and after passing six or seven more doors, he was about to approach to look at the number, when he suddenly saw a person in front of him, who was stretching his neck in front of the door of a family and looking at the window. Jing Mo immediately flashed across the street to prevent the man from seeing it.

The man was conspicuous in a white silk robe, with a scarf on his head, and a slender figure. Although Jing Mo couldn't get close to see his face, he vaguely looked like the beautiful boy Tian Mengzheng. He stood for a moment, looked up for a moment, and then retreated to the center of the street, heading east. But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again and turned back.

At this time, his steps became faster, as if he had made up his mind. He walked all the way to the house he had just looked at, and when he got up the stairs, he stretched out his hand as if he were about to push the door. Looks like he's going to go in. Jing Mo was secretly surprised in his heart, seeing Meng Zheng's demeanor, once he entered, he might make some trouble.

But his hand touched something in the door, and hesitated again, and then he let go again, and stood on the edge of the stairs, as if he had no intention of pushing the door in. Finally, he quietly withdrew again, raised his head, and looked again at the window of the white building.
