There was chaos backstage, and everyone was on their feet before they knew it. Shuanglian stopped him and said, "Master Sui, don't go out yet. There's something going on outside."
Sui Dahai also experienced Fenglang. When he heard the word "catching a thief", his heart skipped a beat and he said, "The master has recruited a thief, and something bad is going to happen. Damn it, Ayun is still outside, and Dafeng and the others are also on the stage!"
Changqiu was a little afraid, grabbed Shuanglian's clothes and said, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
Shuanglian held her back and said: "It doesn't matter. Don't be afraid, don't talk, don't move, just follow me. Just do whatever I tell you to do." She was a little panicked, but what could the master have? If something bad happens, think of these quacks first. Because they are "idle people" in the eyes of noble people and naturally have bad intentions. It's funny to think about it. They were obviously the ones who invited the performers themselves, but they seemed to have known that there was filth inside, so wouldn't it mean that they opened the door themselves and brought the thieves in?
After all, they are still humble. Even if they are wronged, there will be no consequences. Bullying is nothing.
It's just that on a big day, it's really rare for such a fuss to happen. It is said that rich families are the most honorable ones. They fold their arms in their sleeves. With so many people here, even if they have lost something, they should search for it quietly without making any noise. Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed by searching for something in a big way?
Tang Zhao was moved in his heart and said, "You really have lost your sword, right?"
When he passed by the sword box before, he didn't sense the sword inside. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid it was no longer there at that time.
The host family was in great disgrace. The most important treasure of the banquet was stolen, and no one knew how it was guarded.
At this time, Sui Dahai said: "Azhao, you go out first. They will definitely bring people to search in a while, and it will cause a lot of trouble. You are a scholar and a decent person, don't let them bully you."
Tang Zhao asked back: "Don't you deserve to be bullied because you are not studying?"
He thought for a while, there was no point in staying here and being surrounded and searched. Do you really have to wait for people to come around and bully you before revealing your identity and saying "I am a special chef"? It's better to take a preemptive strike and go out to see if you can find the sword.
Finding Jian means that the provincial uncles and others will be affected, and the other means that for the sake of Yue Lai, the host can live well.
Furthermore, just now during the dinner, I heard the guests praising the young master’s elder brother, Young Master Che Lin, who is the local prosecutor’s envoy. It is said that he is an outstanding envoy who is competent, capable and upright. Although this was flattery during the banquet, I am afraid that it is not even 30% credible, but Tang Zhao heard that the inspector was still willing to believe it - if he was really a notorious person, the guests could avoid talking about it, and there was no need to forcefully flatter him. That's more like swearing in person.
Since he is a qualified guardian, Tang Zhao is willing to help if something is lost at home.
He didn't have to sneak out and walked out openly. At this time, there was chaos inside and outside. There was no clue outside and no one thought about these artists. If someone in the background was smarter and escaped now, no one would be caught at the scene.
However, these artists are all well-known locals. If they want to hang out in this area, they will never leave like this. It's okay if you find something, but if you don't find it, isn't the blame already on you? Therefore, although more than one person present screamed inwardly, no one dared to go out.
When Tang Zhao went out, the surroundings were noisy. The corridor was full of people, some running forward, some running back, and I didn't know where they were going.
Like a headless fly.
Tang Zhao thought to himself that this was the family of the local magistrate of the District Prosecution Department? Is this the management ability of the dignified guardian envoy?
However, it seems that the guardian has been busy with official duties and has not shown up. Now there is no leader, and it is understandable that he cannot organize himself.
By this time, he had come to the front and saw that the play had stopped on the stage, and all the actors and actresses were standing there in a daze. The whole place was full of guests, some were sitting and some were standing, some were dumbfounded, and some were talking a lot.
The most eye-catching thing is that in the center of the front hall, the gorgeous sword box is placed on the table. It has been opened. Needless to say, it is empty inside. The young master stood in front of the box with a confused look on his face, not as high-spirited as he had just now. And the old man next to him is Mr. Che, and he is also at a loss now.
Tang Zhao stood in the corner of the stage, with a fairly wide perspective. He had a panoramic view of the three halls and two floors on both sides of the center. He swept his eyes across the entire venue, looking first for anyone suspicious.
As a swordsman, his perception and spirit are very powerful, enough to cover the entire scene, and even the subtle movements and expressions of everyone can be seen. After scanning, I found something, but unfortunately I found a little too much. At least three suspects were found.
An old man was pouring himself a drink on the table and seemed to enjoy the chaos very much. There is a woman upstairs who is enjoying all the scenery below with great interest, and there is also a man in Tsing Yi standing in a corner like a stone pillar.
This wave, this wave is a choice of three.
But he also knew it was wrong, it was definitely not just one of the three choices. But he found three suspects, and based on his intuition, he felt that there was something suspicious about their behavior. He did not sense that they had swords on them. It was far-fetched to say that there were suspicions, let alone to say that the thief was among them. Catch the thief but not the dirty laundry, which is ultimately unconvincing.
Thinking about it, since the thief wants to steal the sword, he must be fully prepared. At least he must prepare a box that can isolate perception, and then prepare a space prop.
Fortunately, the box is made of exotic stones and is not expensive. The space props are very valuable. Because generally cheap props cannot carry treasures such as swords, they must at least be treasures of the level of real magic weapons. If this kind of baby is made better, it won't be felt at all from the outside. Tang Zhao could only ensure that he could tell the difference by seeing it with his own eyes and looking carefully. And they are likely to keep the magic weapon close to their body.
If you want to get dirty, I'm afraid you can only do a body search. This kind of treasure is too important, and the owner will definitely not care about the evidence, and will definitely search you if there is the slightest suspicion. But whether they can find those masters depends on their respective methods.
The driver's hands and feet were numb in front of the hall, and he just shouted: "Catch, catch, catch! Take...take..."
At this time, someone suddenly said in a deep voice: "That's enough!"
A man rushed in from outside, wearing a slim-fitting military attaché uniform, with a strong figure and a dignified appearance. At first glance, he was an experienced officer.
Master Che was overjoyed to see him, as if he had found a backbone, and shouted: "Dalin, you are here."
Tang Zhao could tell at a glance that this person must be Che Lin, the envoy of the Kuancheng District Prosecution Department: the official uniforms of the District Prosecution Department are similar, but there are differences between states. The clothes in Youzhou are slightly lighter in color than Yunzhou. He is worthy of being praised by everyone. At least from the appearance point of view, this Guardian Envoy of the Prosecution and Prefecture Division is quite decent, and he is also the first to make his debut.
Che Lin glanced at his father helplessly. After this moment of humanity, when he scanned the whole place again, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
"Everyone, things have happened. This is an emergency. In order to find the thief and ensure everyone's safety, I want you to stay where you are. No matter whether you are standing or sitting, walking or jumping, please stay where you are. , no one is allowed to move around. If anyone moves around, he will be suspected of absconding with stolen goods, so forgive me for being rude."
His voice was very loud and reached everyone's ears accurately. With a wave of his hand, dozens of people came in from the main door and the side door at the same time. They were all smart and capable, wearing the uniforms of the District Procuratorate. At the same time, I could see people guarding the door and people standing on the wall.
In the blink of an eye, the house was surrounded by water.
This tactic is very rigorous.
But are the personnel of the District Prosecution Department used to deal with this? Thieves should be returned to the patrol yamen.
Tang Zhao thought for a while and felt that it was suspected of using public equipment for personal use, but there was probably no way to get to the bottom of it. He asked the guard to report the case and wait for the Yamen to dispatch the police to investigate the case. Ordinary guards did not have this patience.
Che Lin shouted: "Everyone who is in other courtyards now, you can all hear what I am saying. Now stand still and someone will guide you over. If you see them, follow them and come to the main courtyard one by one. Others No one is allowed to stay in the courtyard, and those who stay will be regarded as gentlemen. You should take good care of yourself if you are pure, and don't let others misunderstand you."
While he was talking, sure enough, people from the land inspection department kicked out everyone in the courtyard and stood in the main courtyard.
The main courtyard is not that big. It was already filled with banquets. Now everyone has been driven out and they are standing in the courtyard, crowded together like grains on a threshing floor. Although everyone does not dare to speak, they There are so many people whispering secretly, and they are buzzing like a bee nest.
Tang Zhao knew that this was a way to create a sense of oppression. The stronger the force, the more fearful these people would be, and they would not dare to resist Che Lin's command.
At this time, the artists backstage were also kicked out and stood on the stage one by one. The stage was small and crowded together, which made them even more embarrassed. Tang Zhao finally saw Brother Sui. He was wearing extra clothes and shrunk on the stage. Even though he was wearing makeup, Tang Zhao recognized him at a glance.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Sui Feng has grown a little taller and stronger, and seems to be in good spirits.
However, why didn't you see Ayun who came out to watch the fun? Didn't the Prosecution Department find her?
When Tang Zhao was puzzled, most of the people had been driven away. Che Lin said solemnly, "Search. Search the outer courtyard first. Don't worry about the pots and jars."
At the word "search", the inspectors rushed out like wolves and tigers. Just listen to the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong outside, it is obvious that the subordinates have implemented "don't worry about the pots and pans" very solidly. Mr. Che's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, but he couldn't argue with his son.
While his subordinates were searching, Che Lin swept the whole place and said, "Although everyone should be innocent, I am still a little concerned about a few of the guests. Che has been in Kuancheng for decades, and there are similar characters. This impression, but a few of them are really unfamiliar and they look really extraordinary, and they are definitely not unknown people. Therefore, I want to ask a few of them to come out and explain."
He stared at the old man at the table who was watching a show and said, "Old hero, please come here."
Tang Zhao watched silently, thinking: Just as I thought, I also think he is suspicious.
Che Lin raised his head slightly, looked towards the second floor, and said, "That girl leaning on the railing, please come down."
Tang Zhao thought to himself: Yes, she is also suspicious. The hero sees the same thing.
Although looking at Che Lin's attitude of not distinguishing between public and private affairs, it is still questionable whether he can be called a hero, but his ability should be qualified. There is nothing wrong with the instructions just now. Even if you cross out the aspect of keeping your body upright, there are still evaluations such as being competent and capable.
Then the next one should be the man hiding in the corner watching everything silently, right?
In fact, from the appearance, he is most likely to be a master, but things in the world sometimes go the other way, and women, old men, and children are more difficult to guard against.
Che Lin seemed to take a breath and said: "There is another person, I think it's not him. But since I saw it, I can't turn a blind eye. I must ask him out."
Tang Zhao was looking towards the suspicious man when he felt eyes sweeping over him. Startled, he turned his gaze and met Che Lin's eyes.
Wait, could it be...
Che Lin's tone became more solemn as he said, "Master, please come over here?"
