Chapter 110: What kind of hope, fortune-telling, is it comparable to a poor cat?
A gorgeous carriage, surrounded by dozens of powerful slaves, galloped quickly on the avenue of Chang'an City.
Li Xunzhi, who was sitting in the car with salt and iron, turned pale and clenched his hands tightly, as if anger was about to burst out of his eyes. Opposite him, Kong Qingzheng had his eyes closed and was holding a little milk cat in his arms.
One hand was stroking it gently, in a relaxed state.
"These losers!"
Li Xunzhi looked at the slaves outside and said bitterly.
"I have been telling them during this time, asking them to be more alert, more alert...but I just left with my front foot, and they lost my precious mirror with my back foot."
Then, Li Xunzhi's eyes glanced left and right, then he bent down and spoke to Kong Qing in a low voice.
"Taoist Priest Qingwei, please help me figure it out. Is it true that demons and monsters coveted my mirror this time, so they stole it while I was away?"
"Ambassador Li was joking. It is said that divine objects are obscured by themselves, and the secrets of heaven are difficult to discern..."
Kong Qing didn't even open his eyes. He was petting the cat and talking slowly.
"How can a treasure like the Yellow Emperor's Ancient Mirror be something that can be calculated clearly with just a divination method? I'm waiting patiently to see if the monster stole the mirror. Let's wait until I have a look at it.
"
"well!"
Li Xunzhi sighed with a dejected expression.
"It can only be the."
A group of wealthy slaves rushed through the street, and after a period of commotion, the carriage stopped at the door of Li Xunzhi's house again.
As soon as Kong Qing got out of the car, he saw two familiar figures.
"Shu Chuo, Huiming, why are you two here?"
"Head..."
Shu Chuo, who was standing in front of Kong Qing, had put on a clean new Taoist robe at this time, and also pretended to be carrying a magic sword on his back. He was dressed just like Li Xunzhi came to Meng when he was catching monsters two days ago.
The two Taoist priests involved were exactly the same.
"It's not that Ambassador Li's family went to the Taishi Bureau to report that something was lost. It seemed that a monster had stolen it. Then Ye Xiandi and I stayed at the Taishi Bureau with nothing to do. We also knew that this matter was related to you, the boss, so we just volunteered.
Came here to investigate."
"That's really a thank you to you."
Regarding these two current backbones of the Quanzhen Sect, Kong Qing smiled and nodded at them with a very good attitude.
"Now that you're here, let's follow Pindao in."
"Yes, Master!"
After Shu Chuo and Ye Huiming agreed, they followed Kong Qing.
"Since the last time Master Qingwei came here to slay demons, I was worried that the mirror was lost, so I moved it to my room."
After entering the door, Li Xunzhi led the way and explained to Kong Qing.
"This is not about grabbing something from a younger generation. I am worried that something bad will happen if the mirror continues to hang in the same place. I am already dying and my days are numbered, but my daughter-in-law and grandson are still young...
…”
"Pindao understands what Ambassador Li means."
Kong Qing hugged the little cat and nodded.
In fact, you don't need to explain. Hanging the mirror in your home wherever you like has nothing to do with it.
"arrive……"
Li Xunzhi led Kong Qing and the others around the living room, and after walking around the house, they finally arrived in front of a cross-courtyard door. Li Xunzhi pushed open the door of the cross-courtyard main hall with his hand, and motioned to Kong Qing.
"That magical mirror has been hanging there since that day."
Kong Qing raised his head and looked at where Li Xunzhi was pointing.
It was a white wall, empty except for one nail.
"Head..."
After entering the house, Shu Chuo looked around and took out a compass from his pocket.
"I will first use the method of watching the wind and gas to check the situation here. If the person who attacks is evil, it is impossible not to leave traces."
"Then let's start with a lesson..."
After hearing Shu Chuo's words, Ye Huiming also took out a handful of calculation chips from his pocket.
"Let's see if there are any revelations."
Seeing the appearance of his only second capable subordinate, Kong Qing suddenly felt his vision widened.
I have never seen anyone solve a case through metaphysics, this is really my first time.
"Okay, you try your best..."
Kong Qing nodded and agreed with what they did. Then he approached the scene where the mirror was hung and inspected it carefully.
There were no footprints on the ground, no special marks on the table, not even a single fingerprint on the wall hanging the mirror, and there were no signs of anyone entering or exiting on the windowsills on the four sides, nor on the beams.
After checking the scene again, Kong Qing casually threw out an identification technique with the attitude of giving it a try.
nail:
This nail was made by blacksmith Zhao Changshan and is one inch and two minutes long.
Well, as expected, no surprises.
"Ouch..."
The little kitten jumped eagerly in Kong Qing's arms, seeming to want to come down and look for clues.
"Do you want to help too? That's fine!"
Kong Qing touched the little milk cat's head, put it on the ground, and then continued to look for clues.
A few minutes passed...
Kong Qing had already gone around the room, throwing out more than a dozen identification techniques, and checked all the places he found suspicious, but still found nothing.
"Head..."
Shu Chuo also took the compass and walked around the room, then shook his head at Kong Qing.
"There's nothing strange about looking at the air. It shouldn't be something done by monsters."
"It's the same here..."
Ye Huiming, who had been counting for a long time beside him, stopped helplessly.
"I can't find any secrets about this thief."
At this moment, the little kitten that had been wandering around on the ground suddenly purred at Kong Qing, then walked towards the main door of the hall with its short legs, then stood in front of the door and stretched out its little paws
He pointed towards the door and let out another moan.
"You actually found a clue?"
Looking at the little cat looking for credit, and Shu Chuo and Ye Huiming looking confused, Kong Qing curled his lips silently in his heart.
Fortunately, I didn't join Yuan Tiangang's divination sect. Look at Shu Chuo and Ye Huiming now, looking at qi and divination, but in the end they are not as effective as the poor little mythical beast.
"Taoist Priest Qingwei,"
Seeing the little milk cat's magical movements, Li Xunzhi was stunned for a moment.
"Your beloved, this is..."
"nothing,"
Kong Qingyun waved his whisk lightly, with a calm expression on his face, as if the little cat's movements were common.
"It found clues about the thief. According to it, the thief walked in through the gate. She walked straight to the wall, took off the mirror, and then returned directly to the original route."
"ah!"
Shu Chuo and Ye Huiming on the side were both shocked by the little milk cat's performance.
"Master, is your pet so spiritual? What kind of cat is this?"
Kong Qing glanced at them silently.
Pindao, this is Totoro, have you heard of it?
"Ouch..."
The little cat pointed out the door with its paw, then jumped up and jumped out from the threshold.
"We followed, and the place it is walking now is the place where the thief once walked."
After Kong Qing turned around and gave instructions, he took two quick steps and followed the little milk cat out. Behind him, Shu Chuo, Ye Huiming and Li Xunzhi also followed him out with cheers.
"Ouch..."
The little cat looked at the bamboo bush next to it and roared.
"The thief hid here for a while. He probably saw someone passing by the house..."
Kong Qing translated for the others with a calm expression.
"Ouch, ow, ow..."
"When the thief passed by here, he went in and walked around. Ambassador Li, can you let someone see if there are any missing things here?"
"Ouch..."
"When the thieves got here, they took some fruit from the kitchen next to it."
The little cat took Kong Qing and the others around Li Xunzhi's house, making a full circle.
Although Li Xunzhi and Shu Chuo were skeptical about what the little milk cat pointed out at the beginning, their doubts soon turned into surprise and finally calmness.
"Awwww..."
The little cat finally led Kong Qing and Li Xunzhi to the back of their house near the square wall, and pointed towards the top of the square wall.
"This is where thieves come in and out."
With that said, Kong Qing lowered his head and picked up the little kitten, jumped up, and landed on the top of the wall. Then without saying a word, he threw a few identification skills, then turned around and jumped down.
"There are no traces on it..."
"Then can you let your beloved continue to follow the scent?"
Li Xun looked at the little kitten in Kong Qing's arms expectantly and asked tentatively.
"The thief must not have been able to guard against this!"
"Unfortunately……"
Kong Qing shook his head.
"Outside is the Yong'an Canal. The thief has already jumped into the water, and he can't find any trace of him."
"That's it!"
Li Xunzhi looked disappointed and staggered.
"Then I can't find my magic mirror?"
Looking at Li Xunzhi's expression, Kong Qing shook his head helplessly and winked at Shu Chuo. Then Shu Chuo immediately walked out with understanding and said to Li Xunzhi.
"Ambassador Li, this matter is not the work of demons and monsters. In addition, the Yellow Emperor's ancient mirror is a psychic artifact and cannot be traced using divination and other methods. Therefore, our Taishi Bureau is powerless, and..."
Shu Chuo slowly shook his head at Li Xunzhi.
"Judging from the situation just now, this thief walked through the wall and house as easily as he walked on the ground. He came and went freely in Ambassador Li's house without leaving any traces. There are not many thieves in the world who can do this. I want to catch him.
His words are difficult!"
"Disaster?"
Li Xunzhi looked at Kong Qing with hesitant eyes.
"Disaster!"
Kong Qing nodded silently.
In the West Market, a plainly dressed female servant girl holding a big box in her hands staggered up to the medicine seller Molly and placed the box in front of him with a bang.
"Kunlun slave, this is what you want!"
After seeing the woman and the box, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on Molly's face. He carefully approached the lid of the box, lifted it a little, looked inside, and then immediately closed the box again.
"Yes, this is what I want..."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the box, and then heard a snap, and a small white hand slapped on the box.
"One hand of money, one hand of goods. Your goods are here. Where are the things you promised me?"
After hearing the woman's words, Molly suddenly had a look of pain on his face. He reached into his arms and fumbled with his trembling hands for a long time before taking out a small box from his pocket.
Snapped!
Molly gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and slapped the small box in her hand on top of the big box.
"for you!"
"Then I'm welcome..."
The third servant girl let out a clear laugh, picked up the small box, opened it generously, looked at it, and then pushed the big box in the direction of Molly.
“The money is fully paid and there are no refunds or exchanges!”
