Jing Mo walked to Nie Xiaoman's gluttonous cat and saw Wei Pugang standing at the door. Jing Mo greeted the old acquaintance and was about to walk in, but unexpectedly, Wei Pu raised his right arm, as if to stop himself from going way.

With a mysterious expression, Wei Pu said to Jingmo: "Master Su, slow down." The little ones will have to go in first and let you know. ”

Jing Mo had no choice but to stop, secretly wondering in his heart, what tricks is Nie Xiaoman going to do again, after all, after so many years, although he is no longer the real owner of this gluttonous cat zhai, but he has lived here for many years, and he has always pushed the door to enter, why is it now that the rules are upside down, I really don't know what kind of fame he is doing. Jing Mo was stunned by such a stop, but he didn't know what to say.

Wei Pu had also guessed what Jing Mo was thinking, and explained in a low voice with an impatient expression: "The master is waiting for a guest, and there may be some special arrangements in the house, so it is inconvenient for you to break in for the time being, Master Su." ”

This is really weird! Could it be that Nie Xiaoman has prepared some traps and plans to catch some tough stubborns?

At this time, Nie Xiaoman seemed to have heard the movement at the door, so he gave a loud order from inside.

"Wei Pu, don't worry. Let Jingmo in. ”

Jing Mo was still full of suspicion, and slowed down and walked into the study. This is really strange, the mechanism has been set up at home, Nie Xiaoman really wants to play one out of the other, what kind of mystery is he doing today?

As soon as Jing Mo walked into the study, he saw Xiao Man lying on his back on the circle chair with the back window. He wore only a white silk collared shirt on his upper body, and he didn't even wear a middle coat underneath. Next to the legs of the circle chair, there are still a lot of books and papers piled up in all directions, and there is also a glass cup with a little residual water left in the cup. There is a small Xuande furnace on the desk, and a pen wash with a painting of fish playing with lotus leaves.

After watching it for a long time, Jing Mo couldn't see any suspicious arrangements. Nie Xiaoman was still holding the pu fan in one hand and fanning it gently, and he didn't look nervous anymore.

Xiao Man didn't get up, but said in a strange tone, "Jingmo, please take a seat." You've come just in time, I'm waiting for someone to come. I can still talk to you before the visitor arrives. Your results last night were very good, and as for the one that you yourself considered to have failed, it actually had little impact on the investigation. You can rest assured. ”

These words really relieved Jing Mo. Jing Mo nodded to him slightly, then spun around and prepared to sit down on a chair opposite Xiao Man.

Nie Xiaoman suddenly raised his right hand, raised his voice an octave, and said, "Wait a minute, slow down!" Sorry. Please sit on a chair over there. I'm going to leave the seat on the other side for the guest. ”

Jing Mo was startled by Xiao Man's voice, hurriedly braced his legs, held his body that was about to sit down, and stopped his ass in mid-air. Jing Mo looked back at a circle chair in the window, and there was still a thin mat cushion on the chair, which was nothing unusual. This used to be the chair that Jing Mo usually sits, why has it changed today?

Nie Xiaoman suddenly laughed and said, "Jingmo, don't get me wrong. There's no mechanism on this chair! But the chair was face to face with me, so I could see it more clearly when we talked. ”

Jing Mo felt that Xiao Man's behavior today was becoming more and more abnormal, and he smiled patiently on his face as he sat down on a chair designated by Nie Xiaoman.

"Wei Pu said just now, you are waiting for someone to come, there may be some special preparations in the house, see that your arrangement today is different from usual." Jing Mo sat down and asked in a voice, "Which guest are you waiting for at the moment?" Need such a battle? ”

"It's the central role in these two cases."

"Oops! Are these two cases really related? ”

"Yes."

"So, do you fully understand the inside story of this case?"

"Pretty much that."

"In that case, can you just say-"

"Jingmo, you see that you are anxious again, be patient for a while. Alas, aren't you going to say that I'm selling off again? Fortunately, it won't be sold for long at this juncture, and at most it won't take a cup of tea for our friends to come. ”

Jing Mo knew that his old friend's temper had always been like this, so he had to reluctantly stand up and silently look at the floor. Although Jing Mo still remained calm on the surface, the irritability in his heart was like a hundred claws scratching his heart.

After suffering in this strange silence for a while, Nie Xiaoman suddenly spoke first: "Jingmo, don't be like this, just be quiet." I expect that one of us here today will be worthy of the little patience you are wearing. ”

Jing Mo then nodded, still silent. This is Su Jingmo's helplessness, because Jingmo knows that if he asks Xiaoman how "worthy" he is at this time, Nie Xiaoman will never explain it in advance before the visitor arrives.

Despite this, Jing Mo has always had a strong curiosity, and he was really touched by Xiao Man's words. The two of them sat quietly in an atmosphere where they had their own hearts and minds, all without saying a word. I only heard Xiaoman's pu fan make a slow "whew-huh" sound.

I saw that all of a sudden, Nie Xiaoman sat up straight suddenly, listened with his ears sideways, and nodded to Jingmo again. Jing Mo knew that Xiao Man's hearing had probably heard something he hadn't noticed, and someone might be coming outside.

After a while, Jing Mo really saw Wei Pu walk in and report that a guest had arrived. Nie Xiaoman responded, "Hurry up, please!" He then stood up. Su Jingmo was also in high spirits, and his eyes were fixed on the study door. Unexpectedly, the visitor who entered the door was Tian Mengzheng, the child from the Tongfu Inn.

When the young man walked in, he stopped, his hands moving forward and backward, and his eyes wandered around the room, and he didn't know what he was looking for, but he was silent.

Nie Xiaoman greeted very kindly: "Little friend, please take a seat." I've been waiting for you for a long time. Could it be that my sender is late? Xiao Man casually pointed to a chair across from him.

Tian Mengzheng slowly walked to the chair and sat down, still watching Xiao Man and Jing Mo. Jing Mo saw that his lips trembled unconsciously a few times, as if he had something to say, but finally didn't make a sound.

Nie Xiaoman smiled and said, "You don't have to scruple. This Lord Su is also fully aware of your affairs. ”

This is simply deceiving a child in person!

Jingmo has known all the facts so far, only that the loss of the pearl was caused by this child, but he doesn't know anything else. Tian Mengzheng's eyes blinked a few times, and he bit his own lip again, as if he was still skeptical of Nie Xiaoman's words.

The child asked, "My lord, you just wrote that you already know everything about me, and that you can help me to get rid of my troubles." What exactly does this mean? ”

Nie Xiaoman smiled slightly and said, "Little friend, I can't make it clearer." Since you have already experienced your own affairs, of course, you don't need me to explain it to you, and your troubles, of course, also refer to the unsettled bead. ”

Meng Zheng's fair face seemed to be flushed with crimson, his body sat on one side, and the tone of his answer was also very nervous.

"Master, do you already have a solution to the problem of beads?"

"yes, almost.

"So, tell me, how can I get the beads back?"

"Well, it's easy. But you have to tell your story first. ”

Tian Meng peeked at Nie Xiaoman's face at this time, and then looked at Jing Mo. He buried his head again, as if his heart was still hesitating.

Jing Mo interjected: "This is a fair quid pro quo." ”

Tian Mengzheng argued: "But since you already know, why do you need me to say it again? ”
