Even if you don't want to think about this possibility, avoiding this kind of thing is not the solution to the problem.
"This thief is insidious and behaves strangely. He also likes to leave plum blossom marks. He is obviously arrogant..." Wen said worriedly: "What if he comes back again?"
Ms. Cui also felt that this worry was justified, "Now we can only hope that the government will arrest this person and bring him to justice soon."
If you can't catch this damn thief, you won't have peace of mind.
"But I heard that no one has really seen this person's true face to this day. Under such circumstances, how easy is it to catch him?" Wen was worried.
It is said that this thief is very good at climbing over walls and flying over walls, and he is also good at using smoke. No one has the chance to see what he looks like, not even the young or old can be sure.
"My cousin only saw a black shadow last night, right? Was there anything else he discovered?" Xu Mingyi asked, "For example, did the other party ever make a sound?"
Cui Yunqing said: "He reacted very quickly. He disappeared after a while and never spoke."
After thinking for a while, he added: "But... the lights in the corridor were all turned off at that time. The reason why I could see the black shadow clearly was because there was moonlight last night, and the shadow on the window under the moonlight was.
I guess it shouldn’t deviate too much from reality, right?”
"That's so." Xu Mingyi then asked, "What did my cousin see from that black shadow?"
"He looked tall and thin... He seemed to be wearing a cloak, but when he turned around and ran away, the cloak unfolded, and it seemed..." At this point, Cui Yunqing paused with some uncertainty before saying: "
One sleeve floated up empty...it seemed like an arm was missing."
"This man actually has one arm?" Ms. Cui said unexpectedly: "If this is true, wouldn't it be a very useful clue?"
At first, Cui Yunqing could not calm down to talk about this detail with his mother and sister, so Wen was also a little stunned at this time.
Xu Mingyi frowned.
She suddenly thought of someone.
That person is also one-armed...
"Mother, otherwise...shall I go to the government to explain this clue?" Cui Yunqing mustered up the courage to say.
She had this idea on the way here.
When I met my cousin, this idea became even more firm.
When she encountered such a terrible thing, it was Cousin Zhaozhao who rescued her from that devil's cave - she woke up from that nightmare countless times and felt that she was lucky.
If it weren't for the support of this thought, she might not be able to survive.
In addition, Miss Xu also encouraged her.
At that time, Miss Xu shouldered all the unhappiness and criticism on her own, and brought the bad guy who also hurt her to justice. She never complained about her cowardice for not coming forward at that time, and she was always concerned about how her mood was recovering.
.
She was really glad that she met such determined, powerful and shining girls.
And she, who is lucky, has to do something to repay the good luck she has received, right? What does it look like to always hide behind and enjoy it?
Even if the thief didn't dare to come to Yong'an's house again, she felt that she should speak out - for herself and for the sake of other girls.
Hearing that her daughter said she was going to the government, Wen was shocked: "Qing'er, did you know that if you went to the government..."
"Mom, the second sister didn't say that she was going to beat the drum to file a lawsuit!" Cui Yunwei interrupted her mother's hesitant words, winked at her sister, and said, "You just need to secretly disclose these clues to the government."
?”
Cui Yunqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's right..."
She didn't think much about it at first, but since there was a way to get the best of both worlds, she would naturally choose to protect herself more.
"This method should be feasible." Xu Mingyi said at the right time, "Master Ji has always been careful and sensible. As long as I explain the process to him, he will definitely keep my cousin's secret."
Cousin Qingqing is willing to take this step, which means that she really wants to step out of that shadow.
This is something worth gratifying and encouraging.
And the cousin's clues and the drug may really bring progress to the government's handling of the case.
"Yes, mother, just let me go."
Meeting her daughter's eyes, Wen was stunned for a moment.
It had been a long time since she had seen such a look in her daughter's eyes——
"Then..." She finally relaxed and said, "Then how do we go to the government office without attracting attention?"
Nowadays, everyone in the city is talking about the flower-picking thieves, and I don’t know how many lively people are watching the government affairs all day long.
"This is easy to handle." Xu Mingyi said: "My father happens to be taking a break today, so I can ask him to take his cousin with him in the name of a visiting friend——"
After thinking for a while, he added: "I am accompanying cousin Qing. The two of us pretend to be servants and ride in a carriage when we go in and out. I think no one will notice anything strange."
Ms. Cui thinks this method is feasible.
After all, her Zhao Zhao family is really good at pretending to be a man when going out - but then again, is there anything in this world that her daughter is not good at?
After Wen thought about it for a moment, he nodded.
Strangely enough, this sounds like a method that comes out of the mouth. If it were proposed by any other little girl, she would definitely think it was ridiculous. But when Miss Xu proposed it, she felt inexplicably that it was quite feasible?
After all, Miss Xu was the one who broke into the secret room alone and brought her daughter out intact.
Therefore, everything Miss Xu says is more convincing than others - there is nothing wrong with that.
"Cousin, I want to go too!" Cui Yunwei's eyes were inexplicably excited.
She hasn't tried pretending to be a servant before going out.
However, before her cousin could speak, her mother ruthlessly blew out her flames: "No, you will only add to the chaos."
Cui Yunwei struggled and secretly looked at her cousin with expectant eyes.
But the expression on my cousin’s face that smiled but said nothing clearly meant that what your mother said made sense.
As a result, the last spark in Cui Yunwei's heart was quickly extinguished.
After the decision was made, Xu Mingyi went to consult with his father.
Xu Jin was playing chess in Xu Yun's courtyard. One brother was on the bed and the other was under the bed. The chessboard was placed beside the bed.
Xu Mingyi thought to herself that her father was really addicted to chess. In order to play chess with his second uncle, he even chased him to bed.
Cai Jin, who had come here to go through the motions, was sitting in the hall and yawning.
Xu Mingyi was in a hurry to go do something and let his father take him away without any delay.
"You girl, you don't even let people finish the game of chess. You are getting more and more arrogant. Do you still have respect for your elders in your eyes? Big brother is really letting the children do it without any principle. This
What kind of decency is that?" Xu Yun frowned and said dissatisfiedly as he looked at the chess game in the middle of the game.
Cai Jin outside had a complicated expression when he heard this.
This was said with great authority from an elder, but Miss Xu had already left the yard, don't you think it was too late?
And the next moment, Xu Yun suddenly called her to come in——
