Chapter 2649 Let’s Find a Place to Talk Slowly

Zheng Qiu took the oil lamp and walked around her yard. After making sure that no one was there, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had sweat on her forehead but she didn't notice it.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, can you hear me?" Zheng Qiu came to the wall of the yard and shouted.

After a while, the light next door came on.

"Xiao Qiu, what's wrong?" Soon, the sound of the door opening came from next door, and Brother Liu, who was called, also came to the bottom of his own yard.

"Brother Liu, please look around. I seem to have found a thief just now. He has walked around my yard with an oil lamp. I don't know if the thief ran to the next door." Zheng Qiu said.

"Okay!" Brother Liu responded and searched around his yard first. While searching, he said: "Damn it, these thieves are really brave. They rushed to this area to steal things!"

The "thieves" Bai Er and Gu En who were hiding in the dark held their breath.

Brother Liu didn't find anything, but he didn't suspect Zheng Qiu was teasing him. He even knocked on every door and told everyone that Xiao Qiu had found a thief and asked everyone to pay attention.

The people living in this alley were all officials from the government. They had been together for more than half a year and were very convinced of Zheng Qiu, so no one thought he was making a fuss and said they would pay attention.

The noise lasted for almost two quarters of an hour before it returned to calm.

Gu En and Bai Er both breathed a sigh of relief.

They were not afraid of being discovered. With their abilities, they would naturally not be discovered. Even if they were discovered, they would be able to escape and would not expose their identities.

"Xiao Qiu, you live alone, so you have to be careful. Keep your stuff for handling cases with you at all times. If there is anything wrong, call me immediately. Don't be afraid, we are all around." Brother Liu said seriously when he separated from Zheng Qiu.

"Well, I know, Brother Liu. I'm really sorry tonight. I did find someone in my yard just now. I guess I was too slow, so he escaped. Next time I find something wrong, I will call for help immediately." Zheng Qiu said embarrassedly.

"Don't blame you. You certainly didn't expect that a thief could come to our alley. Well, go to bed quickly, and remember to bring your investigation tools with you, just in case." Brother Liu really didn't blame Zheng Qiu, and he reminded him again.

"Okay. Then Brother Liu, you should rest early too." Zheng Qiu nodded.

Then the two went back to their own homes.

After Zheng Qiu went back, he found a handy tool from his toolbox and took a cloth bag and tied it to his legs.

Then he put the dagger under the pillow and fell asleep.

She closed her eyes, calmed down, and thought about whether her biological father and stepmother had found something wrong and sent someone to test it.

She planned to send someone to communicate with her brother tomorrow.

Gu En, who was outside, ran out after making sure that no one in the alley was looking for the thief, walked to the place where Bai Er was hiding, and whispered: "Don't hide, I saw you just now."

Bai Er came out.

Gu En patted him: "Come on, let's find a place to talk slowly."

Bai Er pursed his lips, hey, it seems that the girls at home can't see the joke of the fourth master.

Gu En found a night noodle stall, ordered two bowls of noodles and a pot of wine.

Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Logically, there should not be many people outside, but there are more customers in this noodle stall than usual. Everyone eats noodles and drinks wine. Some look at the moon alone, and some talk to people around them.
