"Indeed." After hearing Su Mufeng's words, Yan Fei nodded: "That's why I'm helpless. I don't have a clue. I can only turn to you."

"Actually, it's not that I have no clue at all." Su Mufeng said lightly: "Your Yanzi Villa is heavily guarded, and it will definitely not be easy to get the famous sword Ruoyun. No matter who it is, if you want to succeed, you must first create panic .”

"Only by creating panic will he have the opportunity to get in touch with Ruoyun."

"And according to you, the biggest panic that occurred between the existence and disappearance of the famous sword Ruoyun was the moment when the ghost appeared."

"At that moment, your attention is all on the ghost, and you will inevitably ignore the people around you. It is also the easiest moment to succeed."

"That's right." Yan Fei nodded.

"In this case, as long as we find the person behind the ghost shadow, we can know who stole the famous sword Ruoyun?" Zhu Xian suddenly said at this time.

"That's right." Su Mufeng nodded: "And the person who stole the famous sword Ruoyun was among the people attending the birthday banquet."

"Ah?" Yan Fei looked at Su Mufeng with some confusion in his eyes.

"Here's the hero of Jiangnan, you don't have a bright mind." Zhu Xian looked at Yan Fei with a smile: "How far is the distance between your Tian'en Pavilion where the famous sword Ruoyun is stored and the place where you hold your birthday banquet? If my guess is correct, it's not that far apart."

"That's true." Yan Fei nodded: "It's in the courtyard next door."

"That's right." Zhu Xian said: "Look, if I am a thief and I want to steal things from Tian'en Pavilion, where should I create chaos better?"

"This, Tian'en Pavilion?" Yan Fei thought for a while and said.

"That's right, it's Tian'en Pavilion. I should find a way to lure away the people guarding Tian'en Pavilion, instead of running to your birthday banquet and pretending to be a ghost." Zhu Xian said: "In this case, why should I run to the birthday banquet? Are you doing this? Because I want to make the birthday banquet chaotic. But what does the chaos of the birthday banquet have to do with me stealing things from Tianen Pavilion? "

"Then there is a connection. In order to steal things, I created chaos at the birthday banquet. Does it mean that if I don't create chaos at the birthday banquet, I can't steal things? But why does this happen? There is only one It's possible, I was at the birthday party."

"Sir, am I right?"

"That's right." Su Mufeng smiled and nodded: "Great progress."

"This is true." Yan Fei suddenly realized at this moment: "No wonder Mr. Su just said..."

"But this is still a needle in a haystack. After all, including guests and servants, there are many people at the birthday banquet. We need to ask them one by one." Su Mufeng continued.

"Well, there aren't many." Yan Fei said, "As I said just now, I have raised the servants, servants, and maids of Yanzi Villa since they were young. They have almost no contact with the outside world and have absolutely no regard for me. Without double-mindedness, it is even more impossible to steal Ruoyun."

"Don't talk too much. We just solved a case. The murderer was the nephew of the deceased. The deceased also thought..." Zhu Xian said.

However, before Zhu Xian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Mufeng.

Su Mufeng stared at Yan Fei very seriously and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"

"OK." Yan Fei nodded without hesitation.

"Then it can only be the guests who came to your birthday banquet and the servants they brought." Su Mufeng nodded.

"Well, it's impossible for their servants." Yan Fei hesitated and said: "The rules of our Yanzi Villa are that the servants brought by the guests are also arranged in the outer village. And my birthday banquet is held in the inner village. Yes, those people are not qualified to come in."

"Haha, your rules at Yanzi Villa have saved us a lot of trouble." Su Mufeng shook his head: "Then we are the guests. The person who stole things is probably one of the guests."

"Hey, hey, don't tell us that guests are impossible, otherwise we will leave now." Zhu Xian added hurriedly.

"Then, I'm not sure about this." Yan Fei smiled awkwardly.

"In this case, let's start with the guests." Su Mufeng said solemnly: "According to what you said, Tian'en Pavilion is in the courtyard next to the banquet, and those who are qualified to participate in your birthday banquet must be experts."

"So, if these people take advantage of the chaos to secretly go to Tianen Pavilion, follow the clouds and hide, it will not be difficult."

As soon as Su Mufeng finished speaking, a servant walked in quickly.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Your rooms should have been arranged. After you have a rest, I will take you to meet..." As Yan Fei was talking, the servant had already walked to Yan Fei's side. .

"Master, something happened!" the servant said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" Yan Fei looked at the servant with some displeasure: "How unbecoming is it to be in such a panic!"

"This..." Upon hearing Yan Fei's words, the servant's face suddenly showed a trace of panic, and he opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

"Master Yan, there is no need to be so angry. There must be a reason for coming to you at this time. You might as well listen first." Eunuch Chu said with a smile: "If it is not convenient for us to listen, we can avoid it."

"Is it related to those guests?" Su Mufeng asked.

"This..." The servant looked at Yan Fei with some embarrassment.

"What are you waiting for? Just tell me what's going on. Everyone here can trust you." Yan Fei frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Master, it's like this." Since Yan Fei had already said so, the servant no longer struggled and whispered: "Master Xu suddenly fell into a coma just now!"

"What!" Yan Fei raised his eyebrows and said in disbelief.

"Sorry, everyone should take a rest here for now. I have some urgent matters that need to be dealt with." Yan Fei said in a deep voice to Su Mufeng and others.

"Wait a minute, Master Yan, is this so-called Master Xu related to our case?" Su Mufeng stopped Yan Fei and said in a deep voice.

"That's true. Xu Qianshan, the owner of Liuyue Villa, is one of the leaders invited to attend my birthday banquet this time." Yan Fei nodded.

"In that case." Su Mufeng looked at Eunuch Chu: "Uncle Chu, could you please lead everyone to wait here while Chen Sheng, Zhu Xian and I go with Hero Yan to see the situation."

"Okay!" Eunuch Chu nodded: "Be careful in everything."

Then Su Mufeng and the other three followed Yan Fei outside, and not long after they arrived at a small courtyard.

This courtyard should have been very secluded, but now it is crowded with people...
