The poor lover provoked Luo Xiaoniang

Chapter 374 Investigating the Qian Mansion
"If there is a clue, the Yamen will not issue a notice to offer a reward!"

County magistrate Feng sat on the chair and stroked his forehead helplessly.

"Which family was stolen recently?"

After all, Jiang Yu has been in charge of all matters in the Bo manor for many years, so she is relatively calm when encountering problems.

County magistrate Feng picked up the statement of statement and the plaintiff's dictation book recorded by the master.

Jiang Yu hurried over to pick it up and looked at it again.Luo Jiaojiao hurried over to watch it together.

The pleading paper and the record book clearly stated that at Maoshi the day before yesterday, the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion went to the attic to fetch the bracelet that their old lady asked for.But as soon as he entered the attic, he found that something was wrong. There was a muddy footprint on the carpet in the attic.He hurriedly counted the treasures in the pavilion, and found that the Xueyu Feiyan that their master valued the most was missing.

The housekeeper went to report to their master.Mr. Qian thought of the successive cases of snitches and thefts these days, so he knew that his treasure was also stolen, so he hurriedly wrote a pleading to report to the police.

"There is only one footprint at the scene, and there are no other traces!"

Magistrate Feng knew what Jiang Yu meant.

"Since we revealed the reward notice, we should investigate it!"

Jiang Yuchong saluted County Magistrate Feng.

"Hu catcher! You can assist the two of them to investigate this case together!"

"Yes!"

Hu Chuxuan glanced at the thin Luo Jiaojiao and the sturdy Jiang Yu, and then bowed his hands to County Magistrate Feng to accept the order.

Luo Jiaojiao also secretly looked at this Hu Chuan.He looked to be in his early twenties, as strong as Jiang Yu, with a square face and big eyes with sharp eyes.

"Please!"

Hu Tuling bowed his hands to Luo Jiaojiao and Jiang Yu.

Luo Jiaojiao and Jiang Yu clasped their fists as the Romans did, and then followed Hu Tunyu to Qian's Mansion.

Master Qian is in a bad mood because his beloved jade carving has been stolen, and he is furious at his housekeeper and nurses.

Luo Jiaojiao and the three drove to the courtyard, and saw Master Qian spit and scold them.

"I spend a lot of money to feed you free eaters, why not throw it into the water and listen to it!"

The housekeepers and nurses of Qian's mansion let their master vent their emotions with their heads drooped without saying a word.

"Master Qian!"

Hu Tunyu had no choice but to interrupt Master Qian's words.

"Yo! Hu catcher! Is there a clue to the case?"

A gleam of light flashed in Master Qian's eyes.

"These are the two knights who unveiled the reward notice, I want to see the scene!"

Hu Chuan ignored Mr. Qian's criticism, and only proposed to go to the attic where the treasures were kept.

"Butler Zhu! Still not leading the way?"

Master Qian was quite disappointed, but he still counted on the government to solve the case, so he yelled at his housekeeper.

"Hu Tuyu and the two righteous men please!"

Butler Zhu is eager to leave the yard quickly?He took Luo Jiaojiao and the three of them quickly to the treasure attic of the Qian Mansion.

Having seen the Treasure Building in Bo Mansion, the treasures in Qian Mansion pale in comparison.

Sure enough, Luo Jiaojiao and Jiang Yu saw a footprint with dried mud on the carpet in the attic.

"The treasure is here!"

Butler Zhu pointed to an open mechanism box at the end of the room.

Luo Jiaojiao and Jiang Yu walked over.They saw signs that the mechanism lock on the box embedded in the wall had been picked.

"Did it rain in your place the day before yesterday?"

Jiang Yu turned to look at the footprints and asked.

"No! But there was a heavy rain in the first few days. It is estimated that the thief stepped on the muddy ground, and then came to this treasure building to steal."

Butler Zhu made a thorough analysis.

"Is there such a muddy place in the Qian Mansion?"

Jiang Yu looked over the roof beams.There is only one footprint in the house, which means that the thief flew on the beam to observe as soon as he stepped into the attic, so it is logical that there is only one footprint.

"There is a lotus pond in the back garden, and it will become muddy after it rains."

Butler Zhu thought about it.

"This kid still has a few tricks!"

Hu Tunyu leaned on the door frame and stared at Jiang Yu's eyes, secretly calculating in his heart.

Seeing that Jiang Yu's eyes were always looking at the beam, Luo Jiaojiao flew up and landed on the beam.

Butler Zhu was stunned.Hu Chuxuan couldn't help being surprised, because the beams of the attic were unusually high.

"Are there any footprints?"

Seeing Luo Jiaojiao went up, Jiang Yu hurriedly asked.

"No! But there are two lumps of mud!"

Luo Jiaojiao pointed to the uneven muddy road on the beam.

"If he doesn't come down from the beam, he won't be able to steal the jade carving no matter what! Why are there no footprints in front of the box containing the snow jade flying swallow?"

Jiang Yu fell into deep thought.

"Will he have an internal response?"

Luo Jiaojiao flew down and landed gently beside Jiang Yu.

"Absolutely impossible! It is said that the snitch came here only recently! He also committed many crimes in other places!"

Hu Chuxuan shook his head and walked towards Luo Jiaojiao and the other two.

"Is there anyone in the house with unclean hands and feet?"

Jiang Yu looked at Butler Zhu.

"Oh! This..."

Butler Zhu seemed to have something to hide.

"Please tell the truth!"

Jiang Yu looked at Butler Zhu with burning eyes.

"If you don't tell me, we'll tell Master Qian that you won't help him find the jade carving!"

Seeing Butler Zhu hesitate to speak, Luo Jiaojiao looked down on him with a moaning expression.

"Don't! Let me tell you! The master's second son likes to gamble. He always sneaks and pawns some things from the house."

Butler Zhu lowered his voice, as if he was the one who was the thief.

"Did he come to the attic on the day the jade carving was stolen?"

Jiang Yu walked towards Butler Zhu.

"You have to ask the guard at the door."

Seeing that Luo Jiaojiao was also coming, Steward Zhu unconsciously took two steps back.

"Then why don't you ask quickly?"

Luo Jiaojiao glared impatiently at Butler Zhu.

"Hey! Just ask!"

Steward Zhu stepped backwards out of the attic door, almost tripping over the threshold.

The guards at the door happened to be on duty that day, and they said that they did see Mr. Qian Erlang enter the attic with his wife's note.

"That's right!"

Jiang Yu walked out of the attic and muttered to herself.

"Take us to meet him!"

Through Jiang Yu's analysis, Hu Chuan has figured out that Mr. Qian Erlang is related to this case.

Butler Zhu brought Luo Jiaojiao and the others to the second lady's yard.

The second wife's maid said that Mr. Qian Erlang was not in the mansion.

"[-]% are going to gamble again!"

Butler Zhu spread his hands and looked at Jiang Yudao.

"Which casino does he like to go to on weekdays?"

Hu Chuan and everyone walked out of the yard to ask Butler Zhu.

"Yuzhong Underground Casino!"

Butler Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied in a low voice.

Hu Chuxuan brought Luo Jiaojiao and Jiang Yu to the underground gambling hall in Yuzhong.

Not long after they entered, two men came towards them, followed by a yellow and thin face with a white beard and triangular eyes.

"I don't know what happened to Hu Chuan?"

"Is Mr. Qian Erlang here?"

Hu Tzuyu asked while holding the handle of the knife.

"Can you see Mr. Qian Erlang?"

The gambler squinted at a man beside him and asked.

"over there!"

"Haven't you brought people over yet?"

The casino steward shouted softly.

Luo Jiaojiao looked in the direction the man was going, and the gamblers in the shadows gathered together and shouted, "Go! Go!"

This sound came and went, until the sound of rolling the dice suddenly stopped, and the eyes of the gamblers were fixed on the color box that was about to be opened.

Then came a sigh.Some people left the gaming table, went to the corner and squatted there with their heads in their hands.

A pink-faced gentleman with a blushing face was dragged out by that man.

"I'm winning?"

Mr. Qian Erlang shouted at the top of his voice.

The man didn't argue with him, and dragged him to the front of Luo Jiaojiao and the others.

"I brought it to you! Do you have anything else to do?"

The casino manager wiped his eyelids and asked.

"Go! Go to the government office for questioning!"

Hu Chuxuan dragged Mr. Qian Erlang out of the casino.Luo Jiaojiao and Jiang Yu also followed out.
