The thief's name is Shan Dalang. He is thirty-two years old. He makes a living by delivering and selling water. He lives at No. 20 Nanchao Lane. By coincidence, he is the only water delivery man listed in the Huazhai's entry and exit records. He is the only one who lives in Nanchao Lane. Jin Ruo only lives in Nanchao Lane. It took half an hour to lock the target and capture the thief perfectly.
Yicheng County Government was obviously not used to such an efficient way of working. When Hua Yitang, Lin Sui'an and Yun Zhongyue arrived, Magistrate Song was still confused.
Shan Dalang was dark and strong, but he was crying like a three-year-old child. He was kneeling in the yard with his body tied up, his nose dripping with tears, "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll do it all!" I stole them all, please spare my life, sir!"
Shandalang's house only had two wing rooms, one bedroom, and one warehouse. The bad guys moved everything out of the warehouse, arranged them neatly in the courtyard, and registered them in a book. Every time something was recorded, someone shouted, this is The rule, officially called "singing evidence", is for openness and fairness to prevent anyone from hiding evidence for personal gain.
"A stinky sock stained with mud——"
"The lice-infested wig is a mess—"
"A cleaver with a gap--"
"A clean dog food bowl--"
"A stinking chamber pot—"
"Half a ham——"
"Dirty Baji's water bag——"
"Half a pair of moldy pants——"
"A sour pickle jar——"
"A fragrant bellyband——"
"A pair of wormy straw sandals——"
In a short time, the whole yard was almost filled with all kinds of messy things. It was so stinky and rancid that the smell was so shocking that it made people cry.
Ita and the Four Saints hid far away, and the five long faces wrinkled into bitter oranges. This may be the most vivid expression of the Four Saints ever.
Magistrate Song frowned so hard that he could kill a mosquito, Yun Zhongyue pinched his nose, and Hua Yitang stood close to Lin Sui'an, shaking the small fan very fast, acting as an air freshener.
Magistrate Song covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and shouted, "Shan Dalang, why do you want to steal these - these things?!"
Shan Dalang cried: "I, I just like those things. I didn't control my hands for a while. I didn't want to harm anyone. I just wanted to steal them back and put them at home to watch. I felt comfortable——"
Lin Sui'an: Good guy, he is a fetishist.
Hua Yitang: "Why did you fake Yun Zhongyue's name?"
Shan Dalang cried even more fiercely, "I have heard of the title of the best thief in the world. He is a thief who sees the beginning but never the end. I have always dreamed of becoming Yun Zhongyue, but I never have the chance again, wu wu wu Wuwuwu——”
This little thief of feelings regards Yun Zhongyue as the idol in his dreams!
Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang both looked sideways. Even through the human skin masks, they could see Yun Zhong Yueqi's mouth twisted.
The last two delinquents emerged from the warehouse, sweating profusely, and reported, "We've finished moving."
Hua Yitang said "Huh?", picked up his robe and ran over. He didn't care about the smell anymore and stretched his neck to look into the warehouse.
Lin Sui'an slowly walked to the middle of the stolen goods, turned around a few times, and picked up the only water bag, which should be the one Tian Guicheng lost. It has a buffalo leather body, a brass mouth, and a cork stopper. It is almost a foot long, with half a foot at its fattest point. It is shaped like a big comma. The water bag is empty and does not contain any water. It is very light and easy to hold in your hand. A regular water bladder makes no difference.
Tian Guicheng was a Yin commander, and all the items in his home were priceless tomb objects. There must be some special reason why Du Du was so fond of this ordinary water bag.
Lin Sui'an looked over and over several times, and sure enough, he found a mark on the mouth of the water bag. It was about the size of a fingertip and was very delicately carved. It had a head, a tail, a body, and four legs. It looked like it belonged to some kind of animal. totem--
"Found it!" Jin Ruo jumped out from another wing, "Hua, these should be the clothes you lost!"
Jin Ruo held an exquisite lacquer box in his hand, with gorgeous peonies painted on the surface, and sparkling pearls embedded in the stamens.
"What kind of clothes are they worth using such an expensive lacquer box?" Jin Ruo opened the lid of the box, took out the contents, and shook them open——
Hua Yitang was shocked, "Don't—"
Under the bright moonlight, the crimson gauze flutters in the wind, as thin as cicada wings, and as soft as the rays of light in a dream. The cuffs and sleeves are also embroidered with translucent peonies. The smell was completely suppressed.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They were actually seduced by a piece of gauze clothing. Their hearts beat faster and their faces turned red.
Lin Sui'an heard a ding in his mind and finally remembered that the last time he saw the same gauze dress was in a secret room underground in Cheng County, Qingzhou. Hua Yitang's original words at that time were -
[Evening mirror gauze... intimate clothing... mostly used to enhance friendship...]
Lin Sui'an was shocked: she suddenly understood Hua Yitang's obsession with this gauze garment.
In a blink of an eye, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched away the water bag in Lin Sui'an's hand. Lin Sui'an came back to his senses and saw lotuses growing under the feet of Yun Zhongyue, and a triple silhouette of his back appeared. He ran away through the door.
Lin Sui'an felt an unknown fire rushing straight to his forehead, drew his knife and flew into the air, chasing after him.
Hua Yitang took the opportunity to snatch back Linwan's mirror gauze and stuff it back into the lacquer box. Everyone came to their senses in shock and chased out as if their buttocks were on fire. They saw a pair of shadows stepping on the eaves in the moonlight, flying in the air and fighting fiercely. The dark green swords were as bright as ghosts. His eyes flickered, and the six-layered lotus shadow was as good as a ghost, so fast that he couldn't even see the offensive and defensive moves.
The bad guy's eyes widened when he saw it. Magistrate Song hit his chin on the ground, "Ya, monster, monster, monster..."
Lin Sui'an hadn't had a serious fight with anyone for quite some time, let alone an evenly matched master like Yun Zhongyue. His long-dormant passion for fighting was awakened. The more he fought, the more excited he became, and the more he fought, the clearer his mind became: it was only ten years ago. Coming to Zhao straightened out the entire logic of Yun Zhongyue's behavior in Yicheng.
"You came to Yicheng not because someone was pretending to be Yun Zhongyue, but because you were looking for something." Lin Sui'an used three moves of "Knife Cauldron Breaking Sorrow" to slash continuously, speaking faster than the speed of his knife.
Yun Zhongyue staggered back three steps, and the six-layer afterimage turned into a fifth-layer, "Ms. Lin is wrong, I came to Yicheng to see you - Oops!"
Lin Sui'an struck back with a knife, using Wu Chun's Miao Dao technique. The angle of the knife was tricky, and the power of the knife was amazing. It was so unexpected that Yun Zhongyue only had time to avoid it halfway, and the wind of the knife brushed the tip of his nose and swept past. , the human|skin|mask was instantly torn apart, like tattered rags scattered in all directions. Yun Zhongyue sucked in a breath of cold air, her feet crossed each other in the air to gain strength, her clothes flew into a whirlwind, and she put on a silver mask in an instant.
"Lin Sui'an, are you serious!"
"The thing you are looking for is a funerary object, but unfortunately, it was stolen by Commander Yin." Lin Sui'an kept flashing his sword and kept talking, "You chased Commander Yin and found Yicheng. But it was discovered that the items in Mrs. Yin Ling’s house had also been stolen, and the thief was a thief pretending to be Yun Zhongyue’s name.”
Yun Zhongyue had no time to talk to Lin Sui'an. At this time, Lin Sui'an changed his attack method again. The sword was neither fast nor slow, flexible and strong. It was a famously difficult silk-tangled sword in the world, like a ball. Unable to split the endless silk threads, he was trapped in the light of the sword.
Yun Zhongyue's sweat dripped down the edge of the mask.
Lin Sui'an knew that he had guessed 70% or 80% of the time correctly, so he kept trying, "We happened to be passing by Yicheng. You just showed up to stir up the trouble and help the thief succeed. Then, with our help, you found the thief's lair and found the one you wanted. Something you want.”
Speaking of this, Lin Sui'an instantly changed his moves. The two dragons went out to sea and matched the pace of the swift wind shaking Qiu Ye. They attacked from left and right with four consecutive moves, shattering Yun Zhongyue's fourth-layer phantom body, leaving only a solitary real body floating around. Under the moonlight.
Yun Zhongyue sighed, and an afterimage flashed in front of Lin Sui'an's knife. The Qianjing blade drew a thin line of blood on Yun Zhongyue's neck.
Lin Sui'an's surprise was nothing trivial. She only wanted to arrest him and never thought of harming his life. She withdrew the knife in horror, "Are you looking for death?!"
Just as he was withdrawing the knife, Yun Zhongyue's silver mask suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, and the tip of Lin Sui'an's nose even touched the coldness of the mask.
Lin Sui'an saw Yun Zhongyue's eyes hidden behind the mask, like two glasses of sake under the first snow in winter, cold and intoxicating.
"Lin Sui'an, you still owe me three favors." The voice in my ears disappeared in a flash, but for a moment, Yun Zhongyue floated to the high eaves, and the moonlight reflected his flying clothes, like a A big black bird.
"Let me go and pay me back a favor."
Lin Sui'an took a deep breath, "If I don't let you go, what will you do?"
“When fish dies and the net is broken, they all perish together.”
"Okay, let's go."
"..."
Yun Zhongyue tilted her head, "Are you entertaining me?"
"Yes," Lin Sui'an sheathed the sword, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You fooled us all night, wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't tease you and play a few tricks with you?"
Yun Zhongyue's body seemed a little stiff, and she couldn't say anything for a long time. A snow-white boot hit her straight, and Hua Yitang's loud voice made the whole street buzz, "Hey, shit! Get out of here." !”
Yun Zhongyue's chest rose and fell violently several times, and he gestured to Lin Sui'an with his fists. He spun around and disappeared into a wisp of smoke in the moonlight.
Lin Sui'an looked at the moon, really puzzled.
What was so special about that old water bag that it was worth Yun Zhongyue's efforts?
At two o'clock in the morning, Fang got up.
After washing up, changing clothes, and going out, I wanted to go for a walk in the back garden, but found that the garden was full of earth and rocks. A group of nurses carried earth and shovels towards the firewood shed. Fangcheng followed him curiously and saw that the firewood shed was full of dirt and rocks. Most of the house collapsed, leaving a large pit. Behind the pit was a long underground ditch that was more than five feet deep. It bypassed the stables and passed through the pickle warehouse. The courtyard wall also collapsed, and even dug into the street.
The nursing home and the servants were filling holes and building walls for urgent repairs. The people watching in the alley gathered together in twos and threes, pointing and muttering.
"I heard that Yun Zhongyue went to Huazhai to steal something last night, but was caught by Huajia Shiro."
"The same Yun Zhongyue who stole Old Chentou's socks, Old Ma's meat cleaver, Aunt Zhang's pickle jar, and Yuan Lu's bellyband?"
"Hey, it's him!"
"Hey, hey, I heard that what I caught last night was an impostor, not the real Yun Zhongyue."
"Huh? Who is that?"
"Shan Dalang, the water delivery guy! He dug a tunnel and opened up the entire flower house."
"Oh, it's actually him. I even bought his water. I really didn't realize it."
"Who says it isn't?"
"It's amazing. Magistrate Song has been arresting anyone for several months, but this Huajia Silang has stolen everything in just one night. He deserves to be the best detective in the Tang Dynasty!"
"I heard from the neighbors in Nanchao Lane that they saw Mrs. Lin and Yun Zhongyue fighting for 300 rounds on the rooftop last night. The fight was so intense that the whole world changed color. It was so beautiful!"
"The Lady Lin you are talking about is the master of the Jingmen Qianjing?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Looking at the whole world, only Madam Lin can make Yun Zhongyue afraid."
"Wait a minute, didn't you say that Shan Dalang was a fake? Why did Mrs. Lin get into a fight with Yun Zhongyue again?"
"I heard it's true that Yun Zhongyue was angry but Shan Dalang was cheating in his name, so he came to Yicheng to settle the score with Shan Dalang. Hey, he happened to be bumped into by Madam Lin, so wouldn't a fight begin."
"Did Yun Zhongyue really catch it?"
"Hey, if you are caught so easily, can you still be called the best thief in the world? Just run away."
"Pity……"
Fang Ke raised his eyebrows, put his hands in his sleeves, and slowly walked back to the back garden. He walked through the corridor and walked into the dining hall. Eta came over with a cup of dark smoked tea. Fang Ke took the tea bowl and sat down with him. in its old position.
Hua Yitang on the left has big dark circles under his eyes, Lin Sui'an on the opposite side is yawning nonstop, Jin Ruo is dozing off while chewing steamed cakes, the Four Saints are sleepy and blurry, and even Mu Xia is a little depressed.
Fang Ke took a sip of tea and sneered, "So, after working all night long to keep the lights on and waste wax, Yun Zhongyue fooled me?"
Everyone looked over with resentment in their eyes.
Lin Sui'an raised his eyebrows: Doctor Fang, you know how to deal with fire.
"I'm too sleepy. Let's go back and catch up on some sleep!" Jin Ruo stood up unsteadily, "Hua, please rest for a day and hit the road again tomorrow."
Hua Yitang waved his hand weakly.
Jin Ruo yawned and left, and the Four Saints followed him back. Ita fell asleep leaning on the chair, and Mu Xia started to take a nap while guarding the stove.
Lin Sui'an, Hua Yitang and Fang Ke were the only three people who were awake in the entire dining hall - it's not quite accurate to say this - Lin Sui'an glanced at Fang Ke, Fang Dawuzuo was holding a tea cup. He leaned against the soft cushion and closed his eyelids. It was obvious that he was infected because the concentration of sleepy bugs in the room was too high.
Lin Sui'an thought about it and felt that this was a rare opportunity. It would be better to talk about some things as soon as possible, otherwise, when the time passes, it may become a chronic psychological disease. With this in mind, he moved a chair to Hua Yitang's side and knocked on Hua Yitang's shoulder.
Hua Yitang, who was staring at the steamed cakes in a daze, his shoulders trembled. He turned around and found that Lin Sui'an had been sitting so close to him at some point. He sat up straight and asked, "What, what's the matter?"
Hua Yitang's eyes were really beautiful. After staying up all night, they were still clear and clear in black and white. The more Lin Sui'an looked at it, the more he felt sour in his heart. After struggling for a long time, he said with difficulty: "Your evening mirror gauze dress -"
Hua Yitang felt a wave of heat rush from his toes to the top of his head, and his whole body turned red, "That, that, that, that, that gauze, yes, yes, yes - don't, don't, don't misunderstand -"
Lin Sui'an frowned and patted Hua Yitang on the shoulder, "No need to explain, I understand you!"
Hua Yitang's heartbeat suddenly disappeared, and after a while, he said, "You - understand?"
Lin Sui'an nodded seriously.
The corners of Hua Yitang's mouth grew wider and wider unconsciously, and the shining stars in his eyes almost flew into Lin Sui'an's face, "Do you really understand?"
Lin Sui'an: "It's just that I don't think this matter should be rushed. It needs to be taken care of slowly."
Hua Yitang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's best to figure it out slowly. It's best to figure it out slowly."
"If you like it, wear the gauze clothes inside first. The outside will be wrapped tightly and outsiders shouldn't be able to see it."
"Yes, yes, of course outsiders can't see it."
"At the beginning, it doesn't hurt to wear it for a few more days."
Hua Yitang swallowed hard, "Wear more - for how many days?" The last sound changed.
"As time goes by and you gradually get used to it, you can wear it every other day."
Hua Yitang swallowed again, "Once every other day...it's not impossible -"
Lin Sui'an didn't hear the last few words at all. He counted on his fingers solemnly, "Then, wear it once every other day, and then once every seven or eight days, and slowly reduce the frequency. When you can completely get rid of dependence and cure your heart disease, you won't need to wear it again." Wear it again.”
Hua Yitang froze, the smile on his face disappeared, and the stars in his eyes went out. After a while, he said, "Lin Sui'an, do you think I ordered this evening mirror gauze dress for - what?"
Lin Sui'an sighed heavily and organized his words, "I understand that psychological trauma in childhood is difficult to heal, and it often stays with you throughout your life, affecting your behavior and habits throughout your life. You suffered a disaster when you were a child, so you are obsessed with the gorgeous beauty. There is a special kind of psychological dependence on clothes, which is actually not bad at all. It can also be regarded as a kind of self-psychological healing."
The corner of Hua Yitang's eye twitched hard, his expression cracked.
"I know that ever since you saw Linwan Jingsha Yi in the secret room of Cheng County, you have been thinking about it, and you want to wear it to gain some sense of security... Uh... It doesn't matter, if you want to wear it, then wear it, it's just The design style of this gauze garment is really shocking, so it would be more appropriate to wear it underneath."
Hua Yitang fell backwards, slumped in the chair with a look of despair.
Lin Sui'an saw this, and his heart became heavier and heavier, "If you are willing to believe me and tell me what happened when you were young, I will definitely help you cure your heart disease!"
Hua Yitang looked at Lin Sui'an quietly, dumbfounded, "I do have a heart disease, and only you can cure it."
Lin Sui'an was overjoyed, "What a good partner! Let's advance and retreat together!"
Hua Yitang's body swayed, and his head hit the table. With a thud, a bunch of dull hair rose up on his bun, shivering in the morning wind.
Lin Sui'an was very satisfied with the effect of this heart-to-heart talk. He patted Hua Yitang on the shoulder, picked up a piece of snack, chewed it and went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
Hua Yitang lay on the table, petrified.
Fang Ke opened his eyes, slowly put the tea cup on the table, stood up, and walked out of the dining hall, bursts of laughter drifted in along the wind, "Hahahahahahaha——"
Ita woke up with a start and looked around blankly, "Doctor Fang, first time, laughing out loud, very happy?"
Mu Xia poured a cup of tea for Hua Yitang and said earnestly, "Silang, don't lose heart."
Hua Yitang buried his head on the table, "I'm not discouraged."
"Why don't you... Shiro just say it directly?"
"I'm afraid of scaring her..."
"..."
"The best strategy is to plan slowly..."
"..."
Mu Xia was about to cry but had no tears: If you continue to "Xu", Shiro, you will become "Xu Lang Ban Lao"...
small theater
Mu Xia sent a message to Hua Yihuan’s flying pigeon:
My lord, the letter is like a meeting:
From the first time they met in Yang Ducheng, Shiro fell in love with Mrs. Lin at first sight. The two walked together for several months, hand in hand, and they had a good understanding. Shiro became more and more deeply in love and couldn't extricate himself. Unfortunately, Mrs. Lin still has no love for her children in her heart, and Shiro is lovesick, seriously ill, and is losing weight day by day. Mu Xia tried her best to help, but it was difficult and the progress was bleak.
Mu Xia was anxious in her heart, hoping that the master of the family could give him some advice.
Cut, cut, cut!
Sincerely, Mu Xia:,n,
