When Jing Mo heard this, he immediately left the study, not daring to ask any more questions, so as not to be bored. Despite this, he was still worried about Nie Xiaoman, and worried about the success or failure of Xiaoman's investigation of this robbery.

Thinking of what Feng Yunqi said, it seems that this surnamed Feng is very sure, and it is not difficult to catch the real snitch. And Nie Xiaoman is still thinking hard, and he hasn't gotten a clue yet, and it's really different from each other.

If he was unfortunately preempted by the surnamed Feng, Nie Xiaoman would fail, not only would this be a waste of hard work, a waste of effort, but also a shame, which is really unimaginable. Nie Xiaoman has always been competitive, he always competes to be the first and not to be left behind. If Feng Yunqi wins, this operation will be considered a failure, so Xiaoman's feelings of shame and anger can be imagined.

Jing Mo felt that he really couldn't bear to imagine it anymore.

At this time, he found that Xiaoman actually went out of the yard silently and went to the street alone. Jing Mo privately speculated that Xiao Man must have a knot in his heart, and he might go to the city wall to relax at this moment. Jing Mo couldn't help but secretly blame himself for being too aggressive before, always pestering Xiaoman to ask questions.

It was almost dinner time, Nie Xiaoman went home, Jing Mo observed his face, there seemed to be no good news, Jing Mo was extremely uneasy in his heart, and he didn't dare to ask. Suddenly, Jing Mo remembered something and said: "There is a new store on Daguang Street, and it is said that it is still in harmony, you haven't been there yet, how about we go today?" ”

There is an old Majia beef restaurant on Daguang Street. This Majia beef restaurant only sells one kind of beef, and there is no frying and frying, all the beef is steamed and cooked the night before, but it is sold in parts. Cut the lean meat into thin slices, neatly stack them in two slips on a plate, called "cold slices", and eat them with sweet soy sauce.

The taste of sweet soy sauce is different and rare in the world. When the cold slices are poured into a bowl with hot soup, they are called "soup slices", also called "soup cold slices". The beef is cut into domino-sized pieces, with a little tendon and brain, dyed with red yeast rice, and also with soup, which is "braised in red".

There are also strange names, and outsiders often don't know what part of it is. The tripe is called "the liver", and the tongue is called "the green". The name of "Teasing Qing" is very vivid. Isn't the use of a cow's tongue to pick up grass and put it in its mouth? It is not easy to eat the "big tendon", that is, the bullwhip. Once Jing Mo accompanied his wife Nan Xing to the Ma Family Beef Restaurant, Nan Xing pointed to a stout and grown object and asked, "What is this?" ”

Jing Mo really couldn't answer her.

Next door to Ma's house is a sauce garden. From time to time, someone held a large enamel plate, placed seven or eight kinds of pickles, and put them in a small plate, scallion, leek flowers, pickled ginger...... For people to eat. If you like a few things, you can order them, and the cost is not much. This is quite reminiscent of the legacy of the Southern Song Dynasty recorded in books such as "Tokyo Menghualu".

sat down for dinner, but Xiaoman's appetite decreased sharply, and he stopped eating too much. After eating, Jing Mo and Xiao Man sat looking at each other, and everyone was silent while drinking tea. Jing Mo looked at Xiao Man's sad expression, and was trying to find an appropriate word to comfort him.

Nie Xiaoman suddenly jumped up from the chair, as if he had an understanding. After a while he put on his hat and put on his clothes, and took out a small six-sided windproof lamp and fire fold from his bosom, as if to examine it. said to Jing Mo again: "Jing Mo, I suddenly have an idea, I must go out to verify it, success or failure is in this line, please wait." With that, he hurried out.

Jing Mo was very happy to hear him say this, seeing that the situation Xiaoman should have a turnaround, and it is likely to succeed. Maybe the key to success or failure lies in this move, I hope he will gain something this time, and he can beat the one surnamed Feng.

In fact, Jing Mo didn't dare to have the thought of "failure" in his brain. About half an hour later, Nie Xiaoman went home. Jing Mo hurriedly stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How are things going?" Can we succeed? ”

"It's about the same, but there's one more thing that needs to be studied. Please bear with me for a moment, and I will tell you tomorrow morning. ”

Jing Mo seemed even more anxious than Xiao Man, and asked, "Can you tell me first, where did you go just now and what did you get?" ”

At first, Xiaoman was a little embarrassed, and then he couldn't stand Jingmo's repeated requests, so he took out two small paper bags from the pocket of his jacket, and slowly opened one of them first, acting very carefully.

Nie Xiaoman said: "Jingmo, come and see, the key evidence I obtained tonight is this thing." ”

Jing Mo secretly looked at this piece of paper, it was empty! I couldn't help but wonder at once, but when I looked closely, I realized that there seemed to be a black line in the paper. Oh! It turned out to be a black filament!

Jing Mo was surprised when he saw that this was a black silk. What is the mystery of such a black silk after all, and Nie Xiaoman wants to regard it as a rare treasure, and also point it out as a key clue? And after Xiaoman showed it to Jingmo, he immediately wrapped it and carefully hid it in the booklet, as if he was afraid of being stolen by others.

Then Nie Xiaoman nodded to Jing Mo, and without waiting for Jing Mo to open his mouth to ask, he walked into the bedroom.

The suspicion in Jing Mo's heart is getting bigger and bigger, but the current situation does not allow him to ask more, so he has to endure it all night, and wait until tomorrow morning to ask after all.

The next morning, Jing Mo was just washing his face, and suddenly heard Nie Xiaoman shouting at himself in the next room.

"Su Jingmo, hurry up and see, I caught the thief!"

Jing Mo was shocked when he heard Xiao Man's shout, and thought he had heard it wrong, and when Jing Mo walked in to take a look, he saw Nie Xiaoman standing in front of the desk, holding two small white paper bags in his hands, looking at the morning light carefully. Nie Xiaoman saw Jing Mo go in and put the paper bag on the desk, his expression was very excited.

"Jingmo, I found the thief, I'm finally lucky!"

Jing Mo asked with some disbelief, "You really found it?" ”

Nie Xiaoman said: "There is nothing wrong at all, why should I deceive you!" Then he pointed to the white paper on the desk and said, "This is the thief I found." Take a closer look. ”

Jing Mo looked at the two pieces of paper on the table again, one paper was the black silk he saw last night, and the other paper had some powder in the middle, which was dark brown and mixed with some red and purple colors, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Jingmo asked, "Did you go out at dawn today?" ”

Nie Xiaoman said: "No, I haven't gotten up for a long time, and I haven't gone out of the gate yet, both of which I got last night." ”

"Then why didn't you tell me last night?"

"I couldn't really believe it then, and it wasn't until this morning that it turned out to be incorrect."

"Is there really no mistake? Only these two little things can be enough evidence to catch a thief? Why can't I read it at all? ”

"There's a lot of mystery in it, because you don't understand the situation, of course you won't know, in fact, I don't only know about the thief, but also the jewelry and jade he stole from him, and I've found it, and it's all of it! And no less than one piece! Wouldn't you be surprised to hear this? ”

Jing Mo was naturally dumbfounded, and he didn't know why, he was very surprised, and he had nothing to answer for a while, thinking that Xiaoman was joking, but his expression was very serious, and he couldn't hide the joy in his tone.

Besides, the situation has developed to this point, and there is no good in joking. If you deliberately make fun of people, this fully shows your stupidity and incompetence. But if everything is true, then after going out yesterday, he was able to seize the snitch Jewel together, what magical power does Xiaoman have to do this? It's incredible.

Nie Xiaoman looked at Jing Mo's face and understood Jing Mo's thoughts. Xiaoman said, "Jingmo, are you still doubting my words?" In fact, the success or failure of this matter is too important to my reputation. What good is it if I lie to you? Please don't be confused, when the thieves get all the money, you also have a share of the credit! ”
