Several people turned around and left, but before taking a few steps, several people directly collided with the Minister of Dali Temple.
Chi Xia: "..."
Minister of Dali Temple: "..."
When Dali Temple Qing saw Chi Xia, he almost subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but thinking of the theft in his home that had been bothering him in the past few days, he gritted his teeth and faced the challenge head-on.
"Chi...Miss Chi, what a coincidence!"
【Oh haha. 】
Chi Xia sneered: "What a coincidence."
The Minister of Dali Temple smiled reluctantly and saluted her with cupped fists, "Miss Chi, I heard that you have great insights into solving the case, and I would like to ask you to give me some advice..."
Chi Xia was still thinking about how she would make it up if the tyrant found out about it. She didn't hear what the Minister of Dali Temple said clearly, and just nodded randomly: "Yeah, okay."
"Great, then please invite Miss Chi to return home with me."
Dali Temple Qing felt happy, and the next second he almost couldn't wait to walk away from them, for fear of hearing some dark history about him again.
Chi Xia: "Huh???"
【What? ? ? 】
Chi Xia heard these words as soon as she regained consciousness. She sneaked close to Qiao Le and whispered in a low voice: "What did the Minister of Dali Temple say just now?"
[Why did you talk about going back home with him? 】
Qiao Le turned slightly to ensure that the cherry gun would not hurt her, and said briefly and concisely: "He just said that you are good at solving crimes and he wants you to serve as his adviser."
Chi Xia: "???"
【who? Who ruined my reputation? When will I solve the case? I just watched a few episodes of Forensic Doctor Qin Ming and Crime Hunting Illustrated Book. Don’t spread rumors at will! ! 】
But in the end, the four of Chi Xia went to the Dali Temple Qingfu together.
The Qing of Dali Temple, whose surname is Pei and whose name is Chengyu, has an upright character and is deeply favored by His Majesty.
Pei Chengyu brought the people to the hall and asked the servants to serve them tea, snacks, fruits, etc., making sure to take good care of Chi Xia.
Otherwise, he will suffer the same consequences.
He was holding hot tea, the heat blurring his face, and recounted the strange things that happened in the house with a gloomy look on his face.
"I don't know what happened in the mansion recently. The paintings and treasures stored in the warehouse suddenly disappeared. After knowing this, I ordered a thorough investigation of everyone in the mansion. No clues were found at all. Especially, after a few days, Later, the gold and silver jewelry in my wife's room disappeared. I thought an acquaintance might have committed the crime, so..."
This matter has been bothering him for half a month. After checking everything, nothing was found. He really had no clue at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and invite Chi Xia over.
Chi Xia complained in her heart while eating pastries.
[Let’s just say that as the minister of Dali Temple, he can’t even find out what happened at home. 】
[Does this mean that an upright official cannot handle household chores, or that a doctor cannot heal himself? 】
Qiao Yi: "..."
Who taught you to use allusions like this, ah?
[Let me see what this is all about. 】
Pei Chengyu also looked ashamed, but still hoped to handle the matter well, so that his wife would think there was something unclean in the house.
Qiao Le concentrated on wiping the red tassel gun in his hand. When he heard that Chi Xia was about to explode, he almost subconsciously straightened up and tilted his ears toward her.
Lin Yu'er was the only one present who didn't know the situation. She lowered her head and held the snack Chi Xia gave her, nibbling in small bites.
[Well... Qing Dali Temple really guessed it right. It was really an acquaintance who committed the crime, and he was very familiar with it. 】
[Hehehehehe, the son of the Minister of Dali Temple is quite um... quite unique. He spends money like water in the Imperial College, likes to be flattered by others, and also follows people around him. He teases his wife from time to time, and encourages his classmates to climb over the wall at every turn. Go out, but the key is that he can still remove himself from the matter. 】
[After the Minister of Dali Temple found out, even though he was not the mastermind, the Minister of Dali Temple still cut off his pocket money. Now that he had no way to entertain his classmates, he came up with a wrong idea. 】
[Secretly dug a dog hole in the back of the warehouse, and when he had no money, he took out some authentic ancient paintings and pawned them. A few days ago, his father found out about it and conducted a thorough investigation of the house. He immediately moved the place and targeted his own family. In my mother’s jewelry box. 】
【A boy who spreads wealth! Why didn’t I get taken advantage of like this when I was in school? 】
[The key is, this little guy is only eight or nine years old, and my sister is still playing in the mud at eight or nine years old. 】
After Chi Xia listened to the whole thing, he changed his way of saying it and told it one by one in a vague way.
What he said was that there was a thief in the family, and he was still very close to him.
[Anyway, I’ve told you everything I know. It’s up to you to believe it or not. 】
Pei Chengyu's eyebrows furrowed more and more as he listened, and he told his personal servant with a straight face: "Go and call the young master."
Soon, a boy about nine years old walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Dad." Pei Gongqiu saluted him solemnly, and then greeted Chi Xia and others one by one.
After saluting, he stood up obediently and said respectfully: "Dad, do you have any business looking for the child?"
Chi Xia looked at the child in front of him. He seemed to be very well-behaved and well-behaved, and could not be compared to the word naughty child.
[She looks so cute, why is she such a naughty kid? 】
Pei Gongqiu: "???"
He stared at Chi Xia with wide eyes, and quickly ran to hide next to Pei Chengyu, grabbing his sleeves and saying in a horrified voice, "Dad, there is..."
Before he finished speaking, Pei Gongqiu's father covered his mouth and stared at him seriously, "Tell me the truth about what you did in the Imperial College a few days ago."
He said this, but the meaning in Pei Chengyu's eyes was very obvious.
Shut up!
Pei Gongqiu suddenly felt a chill in his back and his eyes flickered, "Didn't daddy know what happened the past few days? It was Zhang Yu who encouraged the children to jump over the wall and skip school."
[Still encouraging you, Zhang Yu is only looking after you, and he is the one who will support you in that matter. Zhang Yu, that stupid boy, was beaten by his father after he came home. It was a tragedy. 】
Pei Gongqiu: "..."
It's over, dad must know it.
His ass is not safe.
In order to keep his butt intact, Pei Gongqiu hurriedly explained: "Dad, the child is very well behaved in the Imperial College."
Chi Xia: [Sneaking around. 】
"The child listens to the master the most."
Chi Xia: [Teasing Master, throwing bugs in Master’s book. 】
"Even the master praised the child for doing his homework well."
[This is true. Although this naughty kid has a bad personality, he does his homework well. 】
Pei Gongqiu wanted to cry but had no tears. He was speechless.
Who is this woman? There is no such complaint.
Pei Chengyu was almost furious and said coldly: "Go and bring me a stick."
Chi Xia looked gloating.
[Oh oh oh, the naughty kid is going to be beaten. 】
When Pei Gongqiu heard this, he immediately moved away from his father who had transformed into an Angry Bird. He hid behind a pillar and shouted: "Dad, you can't hit me. If you hit me, I will tell my mother!"
