Chapter 807: The truth is revealed and the property is returned to its original owner!
Soon, Chai Yan and his party went out and arrived at Xu's house across from the pond.
Zhang Sixi stepped forward and knocked on the door of Xu's house and asked, "Is Mr. Xu at home?"
The servant recognized Zhang Sixi and immediately responded "Yes".
Just as the servant was about to let Zhang Sixi in, he realized why there was a large group of people following him?
"Master Zhang, what are you..." the servant asked in confusion.
Zhang Sixi turned around and introduced: "This is Mr. Chai from the county government. We have something to do and thought of Mr. Xu for help."
When the servant saw that Chai Yan was an official of the Yamen, he nodded and bowed his head and said hello, then turned around and ran into the house.
Only a moment later, Mr. Xu personally came out and had a warm exchange of greetings with Zhang Sixi and Chai Yan.
Mr. Xu invited everyone into the courtyard, and then said: "Master Chai, if you need me for anything, just give me your orders!"
Chai Yan immediately explained his intention. When Mr. Xu heard that he was here to see the magpie nest, he felt strange but agreed immediately.
Under the guidance of Mr. Xu, everyone came to the big tree with a magpie nest.
Everyone looked up and found that the magpie nest was quite high, at least three or four feet above the ground.
Sha'er Zidan asked curiously: "Master Chai, why are you looking for a magpie's nest?"
Chai Yan looked up at the magpie nest and said calmly: "Master Dan, I said that the missing earring is in the magpie nest above. Do you believe it or not?"
"Ah?" Shaer Zidan was shocked.
Not only Sha'er Zidan, but everyone else was also extremely surprised.
Mrs. Zhang, in particular, was so shocked that she opened her mouth so much that she could stuff three eggs into one mouthful.
At this time, I heard Sha'er Zidan say to his two servants: "You two, why don't you climb the tree and take a look!"
The two servants were stunned when they heard this, and at the same time they thought how could this be possible?
But they had to obey the young master's words, so the two of them had no choice but to go climb the tree...
But the ability of two people to climb trees is really not to be praised. After many collaborations and attempts, the two of them only climbed to half the height at most and then could not go up again.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Xu ordered his servants to go to the neighbor's house to borrow a longer ladder. Yuan Yuan looked anxious under the tree and immediately said: "No need, I'll do it!"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but Chai Yan's face remained as calm as ever.
Then, Yuan walked under the tree and called away the two servants of Sha'er Zidan.
The two servants returned to the young master in disgrace. They couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, we can't climb up, how can you, a woman, climb up?
The kite stood under the tree for a while, probably planning the route up the tree in his mind, and then began to climb.
"Be careful, lady!"
As soon as the kite climbed as high as one person, Chai Yan walked under the tree. Although he knew that the kite could definitely climb up, necessary protection was still necessary.
The next moment, the ability and speed of the kite in climbing the tree stunned the people below, because in just a blink of an eye, the kite had already surpassed the height that the two servants could no longer climb, and was climbing little by little.
Get closer to the magpie's nest.
Sha'er Zidan's two servants couldn't help but look at each other, and then they shook their heads with expressions of shame.
"That's amazing!" Sha'er Zidan looked up, with only the word "admiration" on his face.
Under the gaze of everyone, the kite finally crawled to the magpie's nest.
After Yuan Yuan made sure her feet were steady, she poked her head out to check the magpie's nest. Soon she reached into the magpie's nest...
"I found the earrings!"
Then, the kite withdrew its hand and shouted to the people under the tree.
Sha'er Zidan almost jumped up with joy when he heard this. He immediately looked at Mrs. Zhang and said firmly: "Did you see, I told you that Su Ni was not a thief? She didn't steal it, it was the magpie who stole it!
"
Mrs. Zhang had a look of astonishment on her face. She couldn't figure out why the earrings flew into the magpie's nest.
On the top of the tree, the kite put the earrings into its arms, and then carefully climbed down. When it reached a certain height, the kite suddenly jumped and landed steadily beside Chai Yan.
"Thank you for your hard work, madam." Chai Yan said with a smile.
Yuan Yuan shook his head easily, then took out the diamond earrings from his arms and handed them to Chai Yan.
Chai Yan took the earrings and took a look. Sure enough, they were exactly the same style as the ones Mrs. Zhang lost.
Sha'er Zidan also ran to Chai Yan's side at this time, looked at the earrings carefully, and exclaimed excitedly: "Great, great!"
Chai Yan took the earrings and walked over to give them to Zhang Sixi and his wife, and said solemnly: "The truth is out, and the items return to their original owners!"
After confirming the earrings, Mrs. Zhang looked embarrassed and guilty at the same time: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I, I, I... I'm so confused, I..."
Knowing that she had wronged Su Ni, Mrs. Zhang was so anxious that her face turned red and she kept apologizing for a while.
Zhang Sixi also helped his wife apologize, but he was still very puzzled, so he asked: "Master Chai, why did the magpie steal the earrings?"
Sha'er Zidan also asked: "Yes, why?"
Not only the two of them, everyone else present also wanted to know the reason.
Chai Yan looked knowledgeable and explained in a leisurely manner: "When I was a child, I read in an ancient book that magpies like to carry some shiny things in their mouths to build their nests, because these small things can help them attract the opposite sex.
It is used for courting! So I just heard the sound of magpies and wondered if the earrings might have been picked up by them, but I didn’t expect it to be true, haha..."
The ancient book Chai Yan mentioned was actually a popular science picture book he read in elementary school. It said that a man found that his diamond ring was missing. At first he thought he had lost it accidentally, but then he accidentally discovered something on the tree in front of the balcony.
It was shining brightly, so I asked someone to climb up and take a look. It turned out to be my diamond ring, which had been taken away by magpies to build a nest.
"oh......"
"I see!"
Chai Yan's words made everyone under the tree stunned.
As soon as Mr. Xu heard that the magpies in his yard belonged to someone else, he immediately planned to find someone to remove the magpies' nests. However, both Chai Yan and Yuan objected, saying that this was not necessary. After all, it was just the nature of birds, and it was an extremely unlikely event.
.
Sha'er Zidan saw that it was getting late, so he urged Zhang Sixi and his wife to go to the county government office immediately to withdraw the petition, so that Su Ni could be innocent!
So, the group left the Xu family and went to the county government office.
--------------------------
Within the county government office.
Although it was well past the time for the office to be dismissed, Situ Zhou did not leave the office room. He was still worrying about the earring theft case. He reviewed the pleadings and the facts of the case over and over again, but he could not find any clues to solve the case.
.......
Just when Situ Zhou was hesitating whether to send someone to dig three feet into Su Ni's house, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Chai Yan's voice came: "Master Situ, are you still busy?"
