Seeing that the shopkeeper's mood was about to collapse again, Wen Xiaoyun knew that if he didn't make an effort now, he might miss the best opportunity to ask for details.
"Shopkeeper Du, you must hold on," Wen Xiaoyun supported Shopkeeper Du and shouted anxiously, "There is still hope now. As long as you tell us all the details, there is still hope to save the money! "
Hearing Wen Xiaoyun's words, Shopkeeper Du finally had some hope.
He firmly grasped the servant's shoulders to support himself, and asked with expectation, "Is this young man telling the truth?"
"As long as you cooperate with all questions," Wen Xiaoyun went straight to the point, "When was the last time the bank was opened? Is there anything unusual? Are there any other signs of tampering in this room?"
The shopkeeper leaned on a servant and directed him to lead him, carefully checking every detail left and right, "The last time I opened the bank was yesterday evening.
There seems to be something wrong in the middle, but I checked it carefully before putting it into storage, and I am sure there is no problem. "
At this time, a figure suddenly floated down from above the door.
It was Yinnuo who went to check the roof before.
"The roof is intact and there is nothing suspicious about it."
"My dear, nothing has changed, it's just that the money is gone." Wen Xiaoyun muttered unconsciously, "This is basically a locked room mystery."
She asked again, "I just said it was a little strange. Why is it so strange?"
Shopkeeper Du thought for a while, "This batch of silver was transported by water, but there was a strong wind during the period and the boat almost capsized. Fortunately, we were rescued in time and it did not cause a big mistake."
Just then, a shrill scream appeared again.
Everyone turned around hastily, only to see a layer of flames suddenly rising from the floor of the bank.
A few people no longer cared about their lives, turned around and ran out the door.
Soon after, a few people ran outside, and the entire bank burned violently from the inside out.
Everyone's expressions were frighteningly gloomy.
After being stunned for a moment, Yinnuo was the first to react. He yelled angrily at everyone, "Don't let the fire spread. Once such a fierce fire breaks out, most of Yanzhou Prefecture will suffer!"
Everyone was reminded by this sentence, and some shouted for water to go away, and more often ran to carry buckets and basins, and get water from wherever they could.
Even Wen Xiaoyun picked up a bucket and ran to join the firefighting team.
Outside Du's Bank, Yin Tuiguan and the magistrate each came hurriedly from two different directions with their cavalry.
When he saw the extremely scary thick smoke rising from the direction of the backyard, Prefect Wang almost cried.
He pointed at the black smoke and his voice was extremely trembling, "What day is it today? There hasn't been a major case in Yanzhou Prefecture for many years. How come there are two cases at once, and they all arrived a day ago?"
Yin Qianhua, with a gloomy face, sternly ordered the crowd watching outside the door and the police officers maintaining order, "Everyone go to the water to put out the fire! Quick!"
The expressions on everyone's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.
The cries of children, the screams of women, and the frantic footsteps of men desperately trying to push through the crowd and go home to fetch water were intertwined, terrifying and hasty.
"Master Magistrate, there is a danger of fire. You must take shelter first and then direct the dispatch. I am here!" After Yin Qianhua said this, he led his men and horses directly into Du's Bank.
Wang Zhifu's face was extremely pale. He hesitated for a moment, then finally tightened the reins, yelled at his team, and quickly followed me back to the Yamen. The whole city was on alert! "
After saying that, he led the team and hurried away from the fire scene and flew away!
While everyone was desperately trying to put out the fire, a thunderous thunder suddenly exploded above their heads, and then the wind and cloud suddenly changed. Dark clouds as thick as ink billowed up instantly, and the sky that was bright just now turned dark in the blink of an eye.
Then raindrops as big as marbles poured down, hitting the roof with a crackling sound.
"It's raining!" a policeman pointed at the sky and shouted in surprise.
Others also had happy smiles on their faces, as if they were surviving a disaster.
This means that Yanzhou Prefecture was extremely lucky to escape a fire that would have devoured countless lives and property.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yin Ganhua felt like the bones in his body were falling apart.
He raised his head to face the pouring rain, and his eyes almost became wet.
God is so pitiful, God bless my people in Yanzhou!
Our Yanzhou Prefecture finally escaped this disaster!
Wen Xiaoyun also breathed a sigh of relief, but his vision suddenly went dark, and he fainted as his body swayed.
The last scene in her memory was Yinnuo subconsciously reaching out his hand to help her.
When she woke up again, she was lying in the lobby of the bank's front yard.
Seeing her waking up, Yin Qianhua next to him immediately showed a smile of surprise on his face, "Jun'er, you're awake, don't worry, uncle will send you home to rest right now."
"Father, there are not enough people to deal with the aftermath of the fire and to sort out and search for evidence. How can anyone send him off alone?" Yinnuo, who was standing with his arms folded, rolled his eyes and looked disgusted.
Only then did Wen Xiaoyun realize that his body had been so severely overdrawn that he went into shock and passed out.
After all, I had been digging in the mud, doing chemical medicine, running late at night, being beaten by Yin Nuo, and riding a horse all the way. My body was tortured in all aspects, my brain was always running at high speed, and I didn't eat anything. It would be weird if he didn't faint.
But even so, she didn't want Yinnuo to send her away at all.
He is so prejudiced against her that he will not treat her kindly.
"Uncle," Wen Xiaoyun sat up, holding the back of the Luohan bed, and smiled to comfort Yin Qianhua, "Xiaoyun is fine, but she is a little too hungry. Xiaoyun can go back alone. My cousin is right, there is a lot of work here. There are too many facts. No need to send special people."
Yin Ganhua glared at Yin Nuo fiercely and told him to shut up with sharp eyes. He turned to look at Wen Xiaoyun and resumed the gentle look that a kind elder should have, "Jun'er, stop talking, my name is Mao'er. De send you."
Facing the care of her elders, Wen Xiaoyun no longer refused, "Uncle, please pay more attention to your safety. This case is complicated and full of insidiousness. I will help you when Xiaoyun recovers."
"Silly boy, don't think about anything else first. Uncle has Yin Nuo here and everything will be fine. Just rest and recuperate."
"Yeah." Wen Xiaoyun nodded heavily, but found something a little strange.
Isn't Yin Qianhua the husband of Aunt Wen Zhujun?
She should always be called uncle, but why does he always call himself her uncle from time to time?
But this is not the place to talk.
Soon Wen Xiaoyun, accompanied by Mao Er, walked out of Du's Bank first.
Wen Xiaoyun looked up at the sky. Although it was still gloomy, the rain finally stopped.
"Brother Er Er," Wen Xiaoyun led the horse and looked sideways at Mao Er, "I'm curious about something. I wonder if Brother Er Er is convenient?"
Mao Er purred his horse ears with one hand, scratched his head with the other, and chuckled, "As long as Mao Er knows, I will definitely tell you, Wen Xingfang."
"Are the clothes of our yamen police officers so awesome? Are they not even afraid of fire?" Wen Xiaoyun told Mao Er vividly about Yin Nuo's heroic performance on the fire scene.
When Mao Er heard Wen Xiaoyun's praise of Yin Nuo, she almost burst into laughter, "It's not that the clothes of the head catcher are great, it's that our Yin Tou is great!"
"Oh, how do you say this?"
"We, Yin Tou, once had a master as our teacher in his early years. The teacher wanted to train Yin Tou to be a warrior on the battlefield. He taught him the ability to defeat thousands of people, but his father's fate was difficult, so he could only work as a catcher in the Yamen. quick.
Master Yin Tou found out and felt aggrieved, so he left. Before leaving, I also gave my Yin Tou a piece of clothing made of Huan cloth. So awesome!
Not to mention fire and flood, even ordinary swords cannot easily cut through it! "
Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyun felt faintly envious and jealous, "No wonder Yin Captou doesn't like the job of the Yamen Capturing Officer. With such a powerful experience, everyone wants to become a general."
When Mao Erduo said this, he suddenly sighed, "Who says it's not the case? This is the only year that Yanzhou Prefecture has such an astonishing big case.
In the past, it was all trivial matters like someone stealing someone's chicken, stealing a wife, the old Zhang family's son not caring for the elderly, the Wang family's mother-in-law fighting with her daughter-in-law, and so on.
Just these stupid things are driving our Yin Tou, who is more than capable of being a general, crazy and to death. "
Wen Xiaoyun smiled unkindly.
Thinking about Yinnuo, a young man who is 1.89 meters tall, but he has to do the errands of the neighborhood committee aunts of later generations. I really want to laugh when I think about it, and I can't stop laughing.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from above, "Mao Erdu, who asked you to send me so far? We don't have enough errands here, don't you know?"
Wen Xiaoyun and Mao Er were so frightened that they shivered.
The two of them looked up to check, only to see Yin Nuo sitting on the wall, with one leg propped up and the other hanging dangling on the wall.
Mao Er immediately let go of his hand on Ma Er's ears, took a few steps back, scratched his head and looked at Yin Nuo's embarrassed smile, "Head, Yin Tou, hehe."
Wen Xiaoyun knew what Yin Nuo meant and wanted to tear her down again.
