When Wei Yang came back from the outskirts of the city, it was dusk, and it was completely dark after a meal.There are lights all around, and the stars are dotted, reflecting on the wide Liuxi River.Yangcheng is prosperous, if you can overlook it from the top of the tallest building - the main hall of the palace - the scenery must be pretty good.

Wei Yang just thought about it this way, because he knew that Sherlock didn't pull him out just to see the scenery.So when he found that they were quietly moving towards the Wangfu from the roof of a low bungalow, he was very confused: "What are you going to do?"

Sherlock jumped over a corner of the high eaves, passed over the wooden pillars facing the street on the third floor, and hung on the beams lightly and deftly. "Wait."

As soon as Wei Yang jumped, he jumped onto another beam near him.The spatial structure of beams, columns and the roof is complicated, and it is not easy to use force, but for people of their level of martial arts, it is not a problem to go up.Then he found that they were under the eaves of a Buddhist pagoda, and the view was neither high nor low, and they could just see the back door of the Nanwang Mansion.It is not yet the time for King Nan to rest, but the back door is still half open, guarded by servants.

"Who are you waiting for? King Pingnan? His Royal Highness? Or Jin Jiuling?" Wei Yang asked him.

Sherlock didn't respond to the previous names.But he reacted to the name Jin Jiuling—a quick glance at Wei Yang. "Of course it's Jin Jiuling."

Wei Yang silently calculated in his heart.Assuming that Sherlock can draw the inferences that Lu Xiaofeng can draw, there seems to be a jump in the middle - why would it be associated with Jin Jiuling.That's what he thought and asked: "You doubt him? Because he can spend money?"

"Only part of the reason."

"What else?" Wei Yang was curious.

"The Embroidered Bandit only commits crimes in the southeast, why do you think that is?" Sherlock asked him back.

Wei Yang was about to talk about the setting of the original book, but in the end he held back and gave the answer honestly: "Either he hasn't been to other places yet, or he is more familiar with the southeast boundary."

"That's right." Sherlock said, his eyes fixed on the back door of the palace. "But I think it's the latter."

"why?"

"The things he stole are very heavy and have big targets. Especially the 80 taels of dart silver and the eighteen dendrobium pearls. No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to transfer them away in a short time. hide."

"So the embroidered thief must have a helper." Wei Yang's gaze also fell on the back door of the palace. "When was the last time Jiang Chongwei entered the treasure house of the palace?"

"Actually, just two days ago." Sherlock glanced at him again, his tone seemed to finally have some emotion. "At that time, those pearls were still there."

In other words, even if the embroidered robbers attacked Jiang Chongwei immediately after locking the door, the maximum range that those pearls could leave was only two days away.No matter who is carrying these pearls, they will not be able to go fast.If there are enough people to conduct a blanket search, it will definitely be found quickly...

"They smuggled the pearl. But they can't do it in broad daylight, so they can only do it at night. They can't disturb others at night, so this group of people must be well-trained." Wei Yang said along this line of thought down.

"Jin Jiuling has this kind of strength. He used to be the chief arrester of the Six Doors, and Lu Shaohua, the head arrester in Yangcheng, was once his subordinate." Sherlock said quickly, "A group of arresters are guarding themselves, so of course they will not be caught by the government. Discover."

"Lu Shaohua?" Wei Yang asked sensitively.

"A small problem. Jin Jiuling spends money like water, but at least he can appraise antiques and horses." Sherlock smiled slyly, "But Lu Shaohua is just a headhunter. For the headhunter's salary, He's living a bit too well—he has a savings of 10 taels casually."

"You followed Lu Shaohua after you came out of Hua Yuxuan?" Wei Yang guessed a bit. "Then we can also let Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou play together!" Why play one-on-one when they can play more!It's not an agreed duel, so there's no need to talk about fairness at this time!

Sherlock didn't answer the question directly. "Catch the thief and catch the stolen goods. As long as you find the stolen things, it's useless for him to wear a beard and a padded jacket and embroider. The piece of red satin embroidered with black peonies is just a cover."

It really is Sherlock's thinking style, find all the things that should be there, Wei Yang thought. "Those things must be well hidden," he affirmed. "Are we here to wait for Jin Jiuling to sneak around to see that place?"

Sherlock nodded.

"But even if it was really Jin Jiuling who stole it, maybe he's been more careful and won't do anything suspicious, given that he's been in the limelight recently?"

Sherlock suddenly laughed. "He wasn't going to."

"Originally?" Wei Yang asked back.

"I've scared the snake out today."

"You..." Wei Yang stared at him, suddenly thought of what Lu Xiaofeng said before, and was startled. "Are you telling Jin Jiuling on purpose that all his money is spent on women?"

"Everyone thinks that he is suave and can save a lot of money on women, but this is absolutely impossible." Sherlock said firmly.

Wei Yang felt that the topic began to shift to a direction that he was very uncomfortable with. "How did you know?"

"Shangguan Feiyan, red shoes, Ouyang Qing." Sherlock only said this one explanation.

If it were someone else, they must be confused, but Wei Yang understood. "You found the red shoes from Shangguan Feiyan? Then you found Ouyang Qing?" Ouyang Qing is a famous prostitute who only recognizes money but not people.No matter how handsome a man is, don't even think about seeing her if he doesn't have money.And Jin Jiuling's biggest problem is that he is self-admired, and he spends a lot on women.

But how did Sherlock hook up with Ouyang Qing?Did it cost money...?

"When did this happen?" Wei Yang's face darkened.

"Of course it's on the way to Wuyang City." Sherlock said naturally. "So it's really not wise for Jin Jiuling to show up at the beginning, even if he pretends to be dragged into the water, it's useless."

Wei Yang doesn't care about whether Jin Jiuling is wise or not now, he cares more about other issues. "So when you were with us, you might have gone to the gambling house, or...the Qinlou Chu Pavilion?" He gritted his teeth and found a less blunt description.

Sherlock was still paying attention to the direction of the back door of the palace.It was getting darker, and the guards closed the door. "When I said that, the look on Jin Jiuling's face was not good. He only knew that Lu Xiaofeng would come, but he didn't know me." His voice sounded quite happy, "This time it was unexpected, he must not be able to sit down live."

"So now you drag me here and wait for him to go out." Wei Yang said dryly.The moon on Twelve is almost half round, casting a silver light down the street, but he is not in the mood at all right now—he must have lost his mind in the first place to think of watching the night scene or something!

"I think he must have acted during the fifteenth night. Now that the situation has changed, it is imperative to re-check." Sherlock said, looking at the sky carefully. "Wait a while, after everyone falls asleep."

But Wei Yang almost didn't want to talk anymore.On the one hand, he said to himself, Sherlock must only go to that place for the news; on the other hand, he was pantothenic uncontrollably.After all, Sherlock is in a state of partial amnesia, and it doesn't count if he really did anything...

"So Lu Xiaofeng is still the smartest person in the world?" Sherlock said suddenly.

Wei Yang was thinking about other things, and it took him a while to recover. "How do you know?" He first asked reflexively, and then suddenly realized: "You actually came back early, didn't you?" He even eavesdropped on the conversation between him and Lu Xiaofeng!

Sherlock was noncommittal on the question.But he turned his head to look at Wei Yang, his eyes were slightly shining.

After meeting such gazes, Wei Yang felt the familiar sense of powerlessness attacking him.Whatever had happened, Sherlock had done it, could he still beat him now?People still have amnesia... "Does it matter? You don't care." He replied angrily.

Sherlock continued to stare at him relentlessly.

"You said it yourself just now, it's a good thing that Jin Jiuling didn't know you were coming." Wei Yang tried to reason with Sherlock. "So what's on your mind?"

Sherlock had no intention of giving up.

Wei Yang scratched the wall painfully in his heart.No reason!Could it be that he is jealous if he is jealous, only if Sherlock eats it?And every time he is the first to give in!

After struggling like this for a while, Wei Yang finally felt that he couldn't argue so much with a person with amnesia.But just when he was about to say "Well, you are the most intelligent person in the world", there were suddenly random footsteps on the roof tiles, and someone whispered: "Where are you!"

That's all right, there's nothing more to say.Wei Yang shut his mouth, thinking that Sherlock should understand the meaning of "here".Judging from the sound, there was more than one person, and the qinggong was average.Looking ahead, there was a group of black shadows undulating on the roof, and then stopped and lurked a few times at a certain distance, which was obviously a planned action.

On the other side of the road, a green velvet sedan and a black painted carriage appeared in sight.The black-painted carriage stopped far away, and the green velvet sedan was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the back door of the palace.While it was moving, the people on the roof were waving in turn, which seemed to be some kind of secret signal that everything was normal.

Wei Yang felt that the next step was to wait for someone to come out.But the sedan chair only stayed for a short time, before the back door opened, and quickly returned the same way.After it and the carriage disappeared again, there were footsteps on the top again, and those people left.

Wei Yang stared blankly.What is Jin Jiuling doing?Do you have to practice before doing bad things?
