"Hahaha, yes, yes?" he said, taking out a small piece of silver and handing it to him.

The old man took the money and said apologetically: "This is too much for me to find!"

"It's okay. It's not easy for you to still set up a stall and sell fruit here at such an old age!" After saying that, he pulled Qingru and walked away.

The old man weighed the small piece of broken silver in his hand, with a smile on his face. He looked at the backs of the two of them. One was tall and strong, the other was graceful and slender. He thought to himself that these two were so talented and beautiful, they were a perfect match!

"Brother Dai, where are we going now?"

"I don't know either!"

Qingru smiled and said: "Okay, there is a teahouse ahead, why don't we go have a cup of tea?"

"But······"

"Let's go!" Holding Dai Luo's hand, Yingying ran forward.

Dai Luo could only smile faintly and follow her.

The two came to the teahouse. Qingru chose a seat by the window on the second floor, sat at the table, smiled brightly, and pointed out the window: "Brother Dai, look!"

Dai Luo looked in the direction she pointed, and it was the old man who was selling fruit just now.

Dai Luo asked: "Did you choose this position on purpose?"

"good!"

"But why?"

"It's almost noon now. He will definitely go back for dinner later. According to what he just said, he is the female thief he saw opposite his house, so we can just follow this road to find her!"

"It makes sense!" Dai Luo couldn't help but nodded, wondering why he hadn't thought of this.

"There's more!" Qingru seemed to have thought of something again. She looked around with her beautiful eyes. She found that there was no one else on the second floor except her table. She felt relieved and leaned forward and said, "Brother Dai, I fought with the female thief.

At that time, she was very vicious and wanted to kill me with every move she made!"

"But according to what the old man said, she looked at him and hesitated for a while, but she didn't hurt him after all. Or maybe she didn't bother to kill him, but if so, she just looked at him and there was no need to concentrate and hesitate!"

Dai Luo nodded and said suddenly: "So they two know each other?"

"Since the female thief is a local, it is possible that she often comes here to buy some fruits. Maybe she is also one of this old man's guests!"

"Ruer!" Dai Luo showed a big smile. He stretched out his hand to hold Qingru and said with a smile, "You are still smart!"

Qingru's jade dimples shone brightly and were suddenly stained with a layer of blush. Her eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Hehe, that's right!"

The two of them sat here and sipped one cup after another of fragrant tea, never taking their eyes off the fruit seller. However, his business was not very good today. After Dai Luo and the others left, only one child came to buy a few oranges.

, a rough man came and bought some pears.

Time flies like water, and an hour has passed before you know it. The streets are deserted, and many vendors have begun to pack up their stalls and prepare to call it a day, including my father-in-law.

He carried the burden, hunched his body, and walked slowly.

"Brother Dai, he's gone, let's follow him quickly!"

"Okay!" Dai Luo put a piece of broken silver on the table, pulled Qingru and jumped out of the window.

Both of them were excellent at lightness, and they kept a constant distance behind their father-in-law, floating like dragons, so they would not be discovered.

After about a moment, my father-in-law stopped in front of a very simple house, opened the door, and entered with his burden.

After the door was locked again, the two Dai Luo appeared.

Dai Luo looked around and found that there were not many houses here, and they were already a little remote. In front of the house was the small river that was flowing through it.

The water is gurgling and the blue waves are clear.

"Brother Dai, we are standing here. The house opposite is that one!" He pointed out and across the river, there were several luxurious courtyard mansions on the opposite side.

"Let's go take a look!"

"Um!"

The two of them jumped lightly and crossed the river. The place where they were now was exactly what they had just seen from above, the northeastern corner where the people were deserted and the houses were rich and luxurious.

The two of them walked slowly along the street, feeling the hair on their skin standing on end and an inexplicable cold aura.

Ezhou City is full of flowers and densely populated, but it feels so desolate. There are so many secrets inside these deep houses and high walls.

After walking for a while, we came to a deep and noble mansion.

There were two pale lanterns hanging at the door of this mansion, and a piece of paper money was scattered on the ground. It was obvious that this family had suffered a funeral.

"Oh, how did we get here? What bad luck!" Dai Luo walked here and felt more and more cold and uncomfortable all over his body, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

At this time, two young passers-by came towards me and they were talking to each other.

When passing by the mansion, a person said: "Huh? Why is it so strange? Didn't their shopkeeper Fang go away for a while? The white lanterns were all picked up a while ago, why are they hung up again?"

Another person responded: "Maybe someone in the family died?"

"But besides shopkeeper Fang, isn't it true that Qiu Erniang is the only one left in their family? The others probably don't have the arrogance to let the whole family express their condolences in a plain way. Could it be that Qiu Erniang has gone?"

"No, I saw Qiu Erniang selling fruit at Old Man Chen's place yesterday!"

"Weird!"

The two of them were drifting apart, and their words could not be heard clearly.

"Brother Dai!" Qingru looked at Dai Luo with a half-smiling expression and said, "Did you hear what they said?"

"Yeah!" Dai Luo nodded, his expression a little solemn, "It seems there is something weird in this family!"

"Well, Brother Dai, look at this lantern. It's still brand new. If the family suffers another misfortune, it's a new bereavement. Why are there no cries? If their family has not been bereaved recently, according to what the two of them said, the white lanterns were picked.

Why did it hang up again?"

"Well, that makes sense!"

"Yeah!" Qingru nodded and smiled, "And I have fought with female snitches before, and I smelled a similar smell here, a very strange drunken aroma!"

Dai Luo smiled faintly and said, "In this case, shouldn't we find out if we go in and find out?"

"But we can't just break into other people's homes without permission, we have to find a reason!"

Qingru stared and thought, then suddenly smiled and said: "That's it..."

"Would this alert the enemy?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen!" Qingru smiled, "This way we can see how she reacts. If it's a female thief, it will definitely show off. If not, then we can't do anything. At most, it's just a little abrupt.

!”

"But I feel in my heart that there must be something weird in this family. Even if Qiu Erniang is not a female thief, she is still an accomplice!"

"Besides, didn't you listen to what that person said just now? This Qiu Erniang went to buy the fruits sold by the old man named Chen yesterday. If my guess is correct, the old man just now should be Old Man Chen!"
