Rebirth of the strongest catcher

Chapter 180

The more righteous Zhan Dabao is, the more uncomfortable Qian Tong feels. But he is also an old fritter, and he knows very well in his heart that whether it is Shuntian Mansion or Zhan's family, they cannot afford to offend them, so After thinking over and over again, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said reluctantly, "In this case, does Detective Zhan have a conclusion now? When will you find the result of the blood bracelet case?"

Hearing that he was joining him instead, Zhan Dabao coughed lightly, with a guilty expression on his face, "Well... this case will take some time, anyway, all you need to do is cooperate with our Shuntian Mansion's investigation."

When these words came out, Qian Tong curled his lips. Although he was dissatisfied, he still asked, "I don't know what else Captain Zhan wants to know?"

Zhan Dabao put his hands behind his back and quickly covered up his guilty conscience, and then said to Qian Tong: "It's still the same question."

Qian Tong nodded slightly, and led Zhan Dabao to the outside of the treasure house, "Our Dingsheng pawn shop has a record of every customer who has been to the treasure house, and please ask Detective Zhan to go out with me to check the records, so that we can find out everything."

Hearing this, Zhan Dabao nodded, and looked around the treasure house again, seeing that there was nothing suspicious, he followed Qian Tong and left the treasure house.

Before walking out of the treasure house, Qian Tong suddenly thought of something and couldn't help asking Zhan Dabao: "By the way, Master Zhan, do you still want that ivory sculpture?"

When these words came out, Zhan Dabao laughed, "Okay, even though I'm here to ask for a statement, I don't want to lie to you, isn't it just 10 taels of silver? You can go directly to Zhan's house and ask my father for convenience." okay."

After what happened just now, Qian Tong was inevitably a little wary, "Do you really want to get it?"

"of course."

Zhan Dabao said seriously: "I guarantee with the reputation of the Zhan family, it's all right, right?"

Seeing him swearing and swearing, Qian Tongcai dispelled the doubts in his heart, and put a smile on his face again, "Then shall I thank Master Zhan for your visit in advance?"

Zhan Dabao snorted coldly, compared to Qian Tong's flattering appearance now, he liked the way he talked back to him just now.

Since childhood, he was used to seeing these flattering faces in Zhan's house, and only when he was in Shuntian Mansion could he see some real faces, which is why he liked being a catcher more and more.

Qian Tong led Zhan Dabao out of the treasury, came to the accounting room, and took out a record book from the cabinet, which clearly recorded the identity of every guest who had entered and exited the treasury, the specific time, and what items they had purchased.

Since Qian Tong didn't let Zhan Dabao take this record book away, he could only sit in Dingsheng's pawn shop, copy a few pages by hand, and planned to take it back to Shuntian Mansion to study slowly with Xingshan and the others.

The record book was very thick, and he only copied down the list of the people who had entered and exited the treasure house from the time the blood bracelet was put into storage to when it was stolen. Other than that, he felt that there was no possibility of committing crimes, so he simply ignored it.

After copying the record book, Zhan Dabao returned directly to Shuntian Mansion, and Qian Tong also sent the ivory sculpture to Zhan's house according to his request, and he received 10 taels of silver.

Zhan Dabao waited in Shuntian Mansion until night, and then he waited for Xing Shan and the others to come back, and discussed the progress of the case with them.

"Today I went to the Dingsheng pawnshop to pretend to be a customer, successfully entered their treasure house, and investigated the guys who have access to the treasure house. So far, I haven't found anything suspicious."

Zhan Dabao said bluntly: "So I doubt that the person who stole the blood bracelet should not be someone inside the Dingsheng pawnshop, but the customers who have entered the treasure house may do this kind of thing."

Hearing his conclusion, Xing Shan nodded slightly, and reached out to take the list he handed over.

It has to be said that all the guests who can enter and exit the treasure house of the prosperous pawnshop are either rich or noble. Apart from the princes and brothers in the capital, there are also many officials from the imperial court, and even famous families in the martial arts have come to select them in person.

Hu Buxi and Bu Yifan also looked through the list one by one, and everyone had the same idea, "Then start with this list first, I think we will be able to find clues."

Zhan Dabao nodded slightly, proudly said: "I think so too."

Seeing his triumphant look, Hu Buxi couldn't help but said: "I heard that you went to pretend to be a guest today, and you got a little gain? You actually spent 10 taels of silver to buy an ivory sculpture from Dingsheng's pawnshop. your."

Hearing what he said, Zhan Dabao couldn't help laughing, and said bluntly: "When I go there, I ask here and there, and I always buy something symbolically. Besides, the carving skills of the ivory carvings are really good. I think it is very meaningful to collect." , it’s not a waste of money.”

"You think it's meaningful to collect, so you still ask your father to pay for it?"

Hu Buxi teased, "It's only 10 taels of silver. It's not like your father won't give it to you, so why don't you pay for it yourself?"

"You do not understand."

Zhan Dabao said bluntly: "I just want them to deliver the money to Zhan's house in person, so that next time I can find an excuse to transfer the people from the Dingsheng pawnshop away so that we can visit again. This time they successfully got the money from my father , I will definitely not refuse next time, only in this way, we can go to them next time with a high-sounding sound, and then take the opportunity to explore that treasure house again."

Hearing this, Xing Shan raised his eyebrows slightly, and praised: "Okay, Dabao, this time you have a good eye, and you have given us a foreshadowing so quickly."

"hey-hey."

Zhan Dabao looked proud, "Of course, you think I'm really brainless! It's worth the money for such a big price. I can guarantee that we will go to the Dingsheng pawnshop to visit again sooner or later. Now With a legitimate excuse, they will never stop us again."

After hearing his words, Hu Buxi calmed down and did not continue to make fun of him.

At the same time, Xing Shan took the initiative to ask Bu Yifan: "By the way, Yifan, what did you find out today?"

Bu Yifan's task is to go to the market near the Dingsheng pawn shop to collect clues. Although there are dragons and snakes in the market, it is often the place to receive news the fastest. And Bu Yifan is a doctor, so he can pretend to be a medicine dealer , wandering in the middle of the market, asking them for news.

Not to mention, Bu Yifan really got some clues this time.

"I heard a lot of people talking about the blood bracelet, but so far, the blood bracelet has not been stolen, but inexplicably, many people in the market began to discuss the value of the blood bracelet. I suspect that someone released it. According to the wind, I know the inside story of the blood bracelet case."

Hearing what he said, everyone nodded and guessed: "Who would do this? If it is a thief, there is no need to cause such a sensation. Isn't he afraid of being caught?"
