Chapter 97 Thief
"Master, thieves just entered Xihe Garden." Yu Ren didn't look at Mu Qingfeng, and only said to Bai Xianyuan.

Bai Xianyuan: "What! What's going on!"

Yu Ren: "I went over there to clean the study, and I happened to meet him. He was a master. He took a sword from my wrist and escaped."

Bai Xianyuan turned to Mu Qingfeng and said, "I'll go, Brother Qingfeng, you go back first."

"I'm with you." Mu Qingfeng said.

Bai Xianyuan shook his head: "Father's study, no outsiders are allowed to enter."

Before Mu Qingfeng could answer, she strode away with Yu Ren.

Mu Qingfeng looked at their backs with dark eyes.

……

"Is there anything missing in Dad's study?" Bai Xianyuan asked Yu Ren.

Yu Ren: "Probably not. The important things are all in the secret room. But when I found her, she was on the wall under the stairs, knocking on the wall to listen."

Bai Xianyuan's pupils shrank: "Then..."

Yu Ren nodded: "I should have discovered that there is a secret door there."

Bai Xianyuan: "What kind of thief is he?"

Yu Ren: "It's a woman. She was wrapped in black clothes, with a hood on her head showing only two eye holes. She fled to the inner courtyard and disappeared."

"Woman? And to be able to escape from under your hands, that is a great master!"

Yu Ren nodded.

Bai Xianyuan could almost conclude that it was the red thatch in Bai Wanrou's courtyard!
It's best to catch her out!
She immediately took Yu Ren to report to Mrs. Lu, and asked her to agree to immediately seal off the whole house and search for thieves.

Wu Mi didn't wait for Mrs. Lu to answer, and asked Yu Ren suspiciously: "Why are you in Xihe Garden?"

Yu Ren: "Before the lord left, I ordered the villain to clean the study in Xihe Garden regularly. Because there are important documents there, ordinary people are not allowed to enter."

Mrs. Lu said, "I know that."

"Oh, that's it." Wu Mi nodded.

Mrs. Lu: "Yu Ren, hurry up and inform Qin Jian, and search for him immediately!"

Yu Ren: "Yes."

Searched and searched, but found nothing.

Because Yu Ren hurt the man's wrist, Qin Jian gathered all the servants together and checked their wrists one by one.

Bai Xianyuan looked around, but he didn't see the red thatch, nor the green hat.

"Ma'am, is there still someone not here?" Bai Xianyuan asked Wu Mi, "Why didn't I see the green hat beside you?"

Wu Mi said: "Oh! Yesterday I sent some people to Ciyun Mountain to prepare for the Dust Cleaning Festival, and Qing Li also went."

Bai Xianyuan: "Yu Ren said that the thief is very familiar with the route in the mansion. I suspect that he is from the mansion! Besides, those new servants, Uncle Qin hasn't finished checking the names of a few outsiders. The details must be investigated carefully. Uncle Qin, send someone to Ciyun Mountain to have a look."

Qin Jian: "Yes."

Wu Mi looked calm and didn't say anything.

The people sent to Ciyun Mountain came back in less than two hours and brought back all the people there.

They said that the maid named Hongmao was very suspicious.

Because there happened to be an injury on her wrist, and the location was very close to what Yu Ren described.

But her wound was not a sword wound, but a burn.

Qin Jian was interrogated on the spot, but Hong Teng had many witnesses, proving that she was indeed accidentally burned.

There are also many people who testified that they have seen Hong Thatch at different times in the afternoon. She has been staying in Tsz Wan Shan and never left.

Many of these witnesses are old people from Tangquan, who have never had any friendship with her, so Madam Lu ordered her to be released first.
