Two cinnamon trees in the courtyard moved with the wind, and the ground was covered with silvery light, mottled and lonely.
Chen Tian walked around the screen wall and stepped on it, and immediately felt a scrutinizing gaze coming towards his face.
He stopped and looked far away, and found a strong man standing under the eaves with arms in his arms, as majestic as an iron tower, with a straight face and no expression.
Chen Tian's face remained as usual, and he bowed slightly and said: "I have met Hall Master Shen, I am Shang'an. I didn't see Miss Liu coming home late at night, so I came to meet her."
"Muchen Pavilion is also the base of the branch, so we should be able to sit back and relax, why bother to support him?" Shen Leiyi's voice was low, neither yin nor yang.
Chen Tian nodded, still calm and composed: "What Hall Master Shen said makes sense."
After saying that, he stepped onto the steps, bypassed Shen Leiyi and walked straight to Liu Yiyi: "Still not going home? Look what time it is now?"
These words have come out.
Everyone looked at each other.
Everyone knows that Shen Leiyi, as the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, controls the financial resources of the major docks in Gusu City and has hundreds of thousands of people under his command, which is extremely valuable.
And the beautiful angel with extraordinary origins seems to be above them, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that her identity is definitely not simple.
But now the skinny young man in front of me not only bowed to each other, but also questioned the guests in a nonchalant tone?
The maid was only full of gossip, but the many tattooed thugs standing under the verandah had sinister expressions on their faces, with a hint of murderous intent.
"Why are you here?" Liu Yiyi was also a little embarrassed by Chen Tian's tone of scolding her little girl, but she still asked her face to face, "Don't Mr. Shang have big things to do tomorrow? Don't you want to rest?"
Chen Tian said calmly: "It's a troubled time in the city, I'm not worried."
"Uh, this -" Liu Yiyi was startled, rubbing her clothes secretly, "Let's go, let's go back."
"Immortal Lord, wait a moment." Shen Leiyi bowed and stepped forward, standing just in front of Chen Tian and away from Liu Yiyi, "I have some important matters to report. The situation is critical, so I dare to ask the Immortal Lord to make a quick decision."
The evening breeze floats.
The owl tail blows on the eaves.
As Shen Leiyi waved, a man in black knelt down on one knee in the hall. The maid also received Shen Leiyi's signal, spread out two briefcases outside the door alone, and sat down far away.
Shen Leiyi was sitting in the main hall, glanced at Chen Tian condescendingly, and waved to the man in black: "Qin Hui, please explain everything clearly."
"According to two consecutive days of research, news came back from the thirteen dock halls under the door, and the thieves who broke into Guzhi's headquarters at night have begun to appear." Qin Hui's stature is stooped, his voice is a bit hoarse, and he is kneeling at the foot of the hall, which is not as high as the case.
Although his facial features were obscured, his white hair floating in the night wind was still vivid in his mind. He was at least forty years old.
"Brothers who work in the Ye family saw this person floating into the mansion with their own eyes. It was very vivid."
"See it with your own eyes?" Liu Yiyi frowned.
Previously, she and Lin Ye's family discussed the hostage ransom in the city lord's palace. When they returned to Guzhi's headquarters, she deliberately leaked her whereabouts and successfully attracted the thieves to break in late at night.
The purpose of this move was to hook out the spies hiding inside and clean up the family. After analysis by her and Chen Tian, they believed that this person was in the Black Tiger Gang and his level was not low.
Therefore, even if Chen Tian met the thief, he had the ability to capture him alive, but in the end he left him unharmed and fled.
Liu Yiyi originally thought that the thief came and went without a trace, and that he was a subordinate of a spy. There was no way he should sneak back to his lair without leaving any trace.
However, according to Qin Hui's report, the whereabouts of the thieves who broke into Guzhi's headquarters at night were easily traced, and their whereabouts were seen with their own eyes. The target was pointed at the Ye family, which has been officials for generations.
It all went so well.
The coincidence is unbelievable.
Of course Shen Leiyi knew this well, so he clasped his fists and said to Liu Yiyi: "Qin Hui is a veteran of our sect. He has been sitting at Fuyuan Wharf all year round and makes a lot of money every day. There is absolutely no way he can deceive the Immortal Lord."

"Guishou Hui, didn't I just ask you to make it clear?" Shen Leiyi raised his hand to signal Qin Hui to stand up, and said in a deep voice, "Break it up and tell it!"
Qin Hui sat down at the same seat as Chen Tian and reported again: "In fact, I saw the thieves settling in Ye Mansion's eight brothers. Seven of them died on the spot. Only the brother around the corner died of serious injuries and died in the hospital."
"And what Wei Zhi just said was the information he had before he closed his eyes. If the hall master doesn't believe it, the doctor who has been detained outside the medical center can prove it."
This statement is watertight, and there are witnesses. There is no flaw at all.
No need to think carefully, Liu Yiyi also knew that both Shen Leiyi and Qin Hui had carefully prepared before reporting.
Even if the doctor from the medical clinic where the incident occurred was summoned, the confession would definitely be exactly the same as what Qin Hui said, and it would be impossible to ask anything else.
Liu Yiyi rubbed her temples. She had no clue. With no evidence, she could only listen to Qin Hui's report first.
But she knew that this matter was strange, and she felt extremely unwilling to do so. She wished she could go back in time and summon the eight Black Tiger Gang disciples who had witnessed it.
In her anxiety, Liu Yiyi subconsciously looked at Chen Tian, only to see that he was just pouring himself a drink and seemed to have no interest in investigating the thief who broke into the Guzhi headquarters at night.
"Stop summoning the medical doctor, let him go home." Liu Yiyi had to take charge of the overall situation and waved her hand, "Since you personally took care of the funeral affairs of the eight witnesses, you must have seen the scene of the tragic death, right?"
"Exactly." Qin Hui raised his head and looked at Gaotang.
The huge hall was filled with the aroma of green stoves. His eyes passed through the heavy smoke and landed directly on Liu Yiyi's veil, as if he wanted to penetrate her.
"That's good. You can restore the scene of eight people falling to the ground in more detail, the better." Liu Yiyi looked tired.
When Qin Hui saw Shen Leiyi nodding, he immediately stood up and summoned everyone to reconstruct the scene. Except for the bleeding wounds, no details were left out.
While giving instructions to the eight people, he introduced the situation:
"The first two people only had blood marks on the right side of their throats, which were as thin as a hair; the next three people had blood marks on their throats that were slightly thicker and as thick as paper; the next two people had their Tianling Caps on their heads hit hard with a blunt object, and died suddenly."
"As for the last seriously injured brother..."
Speaking of this, Qin Hui's face felt a little unnatural, and he said calmly: "This man seemed to have been hit by a sap on the back of his neck, and then with great force, his head hit the corner of the wall, eventually causing fatal injuries."
Shen Leiyi was thoughtful, pondered for a long time, and concluded: "According to my opinion, the thief struck three times in total, killing with one sword, then turning the sword over and striking bluntly, and finally killing the last person by sheathing the sword. . ”
"And the reason why he didn't kill the last person completely was because he obviously had important matters and left in a hurry."
Liu Yiyi spent most of the day negotiating with the Lin Ye family in the City Lord's Mansion. She was exhausted mentally and physically, and now she had no clue at all, so she just nodded mechanically.
A little while later.
She opened her mouth to barely set the tone.
"This matter is not trivial. Regardless of whether the perpetrator is a thief who broke into Guzhi's headquarters at night, he is destined to become a enemy of our sect." "So please pay close attention to this person's movements. If you have any clues, report them to the police in time."
