"Sister, I heard that there have been several thefts recently on Yunfu Street near our escort agency... We have to put away our valuable things..."
The training ground in the front yard of Weiyuan Escort Agency. Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan were instructing the escorts on their daily training. Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu ran in holding a stack of brocade and said breathlessly.
Su Qiqi wiped her sweat after hearing this, turned around and asked with a smile: "Oh? What did you throw away?"
"I heard that they were all merchants staying in the hotel...the things they lost were all kinds of things...including goods, silver coins, and jade jewelry passed down from their ancestors..."
Zheng Miao said first. As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Ruoyu added: "The most outrageous thing is that someone also lost a gold-plated pipe that had been used for many years... You said how hungry these thieves are..."
Su Qiqi couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Maybe those thieves thought it was pure gold, and it would be worth a lot of silver if they were exchanged for it..."
Zheng Miao made a speechless expression and said, "Then they are really blind and can't even tell the difference between pure gold and gold-plated ones. How dare they come out to fool around?"
Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu couldn't help laughing after hearing her words. Qin Chuan also came over, shaking his head and jokingly said: "You are still laughing at others...last time dad asked you to give Ning'er a sterling silver longevity lock, didn't you also get deceived and got an iron lock? return……"
"Oh, brother, you really don't know what to do...Last time I was in a hurry to buy an inkstone for Ouyang. I was negligent and didn't identify it carefully, so I was tricked by the black-hearted shopkeeper..." Zheng Miao muttered. Mouth, angry.
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say any more... You guys talk slowly... I'll take Ning'er to eat roast duck..." After that, he called Ning'er and they walked out the door together.
As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Nangong Yue, who had just returned from doing something. When Nangongyue learned that Qin Chuan and Ning'er were going to eat roast duck, he immediately handed the baggage to the boy beside him and wanted to go with him.
After the three people left, Su Qiqi, Zheng Miao, and Yan Ruoyu also returned to the room in the backyard.
Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu chattered about the newly released fabrics they bought, and then continued to chat about the rumors of theft on Yunfu Street.
Su Qiqi listened to their introduction curiously and had questions in her mind. Yunfu Street has always had good security, so why did so many theft cases suddenly occur in a short period of time?
While she was thinking about it, Zheng Miao suddenly came over and called: "Sister, let me show you something..." After that, she spread her palms and raised the object in front of Su Qiqi.
Su Qiqi took a closer look, was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Why is this thing here with you?"
Zheng Miao winked mischievously and said mysteriously: "Guess... I found this in my brother's room... I was cleaning the house for him today and found it under his pillow..."
Su Qiqi blushed slightly and pretended to be calm: "Well, this is what I used to protect your brother when I sent escort Yang back last time..."
"Hahaha! Is there something going on between you two? Tell the truth..." Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu shouted with gossipy faces.
Su Qiqi rolled her eyes and said seriously: "Don't make fun of me, I have always treated you like family..."
Hearing this, Zheng Miao asked unwillingly: "Family? What kind of family are they?"
Yan Ruoyu also joined in the fun and smiled: "Are you the kind of family that Brother Qin hopes for?"
Seeing the playful expressions on their faces, Su Qiqi pretended to be angry and said: "If you two have nothing to do, follow me to the Yunxi River in the back mountain to catch some fish and come back to give everyone a meal..."
When Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu heard this, they immediately stopped laughing and said obediently: "Sister, forget it, I, let's go to the kitchen to help..." After that, the two of them ran out quickly.
Su Qiqi looked at their backs, shook her head in confusion, and then played with the breast goggles Zheng Miao handed her for a while, then put it away in the cupboard beside the bed.
In the evening, Qin Chuan, Nangong Yu and Ning'er came back and rewarded all the escorts with several packaged crispy roast ducks.
Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu also got one. They went to a nearby liquor store to buy a few taels of good daughter's red, and then went to Su Qiqi's room to feast together.
The three of them ate until the moon was at its peak, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.
Silence fell in the courtyard. Everyone in the escort agency has turned off the lights and gone to sleep. Occasionally, the calls of night cats could be heard outside the hospital.
Su Qiqi was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by several hoarse cat calls outside the window. She sat up, carefully took off the sword hanging by the bed, and walked towards the window.
When she came to the window, she saw only the mottled and blurred light and shadow caused by the swaying branches, and no trace of other living things.
strangeness? Did I misbehave? Su Qiqi couldn't help but question the strange noise she just heard.
She looked out the window for a while, but still found nothing.
Just when she was about to return to bed to sleep, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside the window and swept toward the warehouse at the end of the corridor at extremely fast speeds.
Through the reflection of the moonlight, Su Qiqi spotted the fleeting black shadow on the floor of the room, her eyes widened, and she jumped out of the window and chased after it.
By the time she arrived at the warehouse, the night guard had been knocked unconscious on the ground. The door of the warehouse was open, and the contents inside were turned over in a mess.
Su Qiqi hurriedly rushed out the door and shouted a few times, and candlelight lit up in several nearby rooms.
Qin Chuan, Nangong Yu, and Nangong Yue rushed over first. Then Nangong Qin, Qin Hannian, Yan Ruoyu and other bodyguards also arrived one after another.
Everyone looked at the situation in the warehouse, frowned, and started speculating.
"What's going on? Did the thieves from Yunfu Street steal from us?"
"I don't think it's that simple. Maybe there's some conspiracy..."
"Yes, could it be those bastards from Yeyou League who did it again?"
Several escorts were whispering to each other while checking the situation in the warehouse.
Nangong Qin and Qin Hannian remained silent, but the anger on their faces gradually rose, making people feel a murderous aura that was trying to be restrained but gradually boiling.
Seeing this, Su Qiqi thought to herself: It's been a long time since I saw my father and Uncle Qin so angry... That thief went too far. He even dared to touch the royal escort agency... How audacious! But it’s not time to be impulsive right now…
Thinking of this, she pretended to be relaxed and persuaded Nangong Qin and Qin Hannian to let the two elders go back to rest first, leaving this place to her, Qin Chuan and others.
Qin Chuan and Nangong Yu also helped with some persuasion, and Nangong Qin and Qin Hannian reluctantly suppressed their anger and returned to their rooms.
After the two elders left, Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan and others carefully checked the stolen items in the warehouse and the possible traces left by the thieves. Everyone was busy for about an hour and finally found some clues.
It was a jade pendant that fell into the crack of the box, with the word "night" clearly engraved on it.
There is no doubt that the only person in the world related to the word "night" is the Escort Bureau's mortal enemy - Ye Youmeng!
It’s just that based on the current clues, we can’t tell whether it was the leader of the Ye You Alliance who personally committed the crime or whether the leader below committed the crime...
