Chapter 411 Lost Hairpin (4)

Liu Xiaodong also fell into deep contemplation. Since he has searched everywhere but found nothing, where can the hairpin be hidden?
Suddenly, Liu Xiaodong thought of a possibility, and at the same time, Xiang Qin also thought of it, their eyes lit up, and they said in unison, "I thought of it, there is another place!" The tacit understanding between them was amused.

Liu Xiaodong said with a smile, "We have always focused our attention on the room here, but we have neglected the most obvious, most likely, but least easy to think of place."

Xiang Qin nodded in agreement, "Yes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, as expected, we never thought of it from the beginning."

Liu Xiaodong looked at Xiang Qin with a smile, "Well, where do you think it will be?"

The two said in unison again, "In the yard." They both thought that the hairpin would be hidden in the room, but who would have thought that it could be hidden in the yard, the yard was just some flowers and plants, and a few trees, that's all. Everything can be seen clearly at a glance, who would hide things in the yard.

But Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong overlooked one point. Although there are few things in the yard, they can be seen at a glance, but who said that hairpins must be hidden in the open? There is one very useful and convenient thing in the yard. That is - soil.

The most important thing in the yard is soil. Except for the small paths they often walked, which were paved with bluestone, almost the entire yard was covered with soil.It's easiest to dig a hole in the soil and hide something in it.

Now that they have already guessed that the hairpin is probably hidden in a certain part of the yard, it will be much easier to find the hairpin. Most people will not move the soil in the yard. If the hairpin is really hidden underground, then They just need to find the ground that has been turned over. If the soil has been turned over, it looks very soft, which is different from ordinary solid soil.

It was already dark now, and there was only a dim moonlight in the yard, so they couldn't see anything clearly. Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin went back to the room and took two lanterns out. I found it next to the root of the big tree. The soil here has been turned over by people, and the new soil underneath is still covering it. If you smell it carefully, you can smell a smell of earth.

Xiang Qin went to get a dagger and turned over the soil here, but after turning over a finger-length distance, the tip of the dagger touched a hard box, and Xiang Qin pushed the soil underneath to both sides at this depth After digging, a wooden box appeared in front of Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong.

Liu Xiaodong took out the box, brushed off the dirt on it, and opened the box. Inside lay a golden hairpin. Although Liu Xiaodong had never seen Mrs. Xiang's hairpin, he was basically sure that it was Xiang's hairpin. The old lady lost the hairpin, Liu Xiaodong took out the hairpin and looked at Xiang Qin, "Is it this?"

"Yes, this hairpin was given to my mother by my father, daughter-in-law, it seems that your guess is correct, I think we should settle this matter and go home, let you suffer here Too much grievance."

The facts are exactly as Liu Xiaodong said, and this hairpin is Mrs. Xiang's favorite thing, and she is not willing to take it out and wear it. The servants in the family know this, so even if someone steals something, He also absolutely dare not steal this hairpin, otherwise, once he is found out, he will only be beaten and killed. Therefore, Mrs. Xiang is the only one who can do this. Thinking of this, Xiang Qin's heart Full of disappointment towards Mrs. Xiang.

Xiang Qin didn't want to face such a mother, and he didn't want Liu Xiaodong to be wronged for him again, so he proposed to take Liu Xiaodong home with him when the matter was over.

Before Liu Xiaodong could answer, someone knocked on the courtyard door. Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin glanced at each other at the same time. Just now they had been saying that they must find the hairpin before Mrs. Xiang's people found them. They came out, and now they came just as soon as they found someone. Fortunately, they were one step faster, otherwise Liu Xiaodong would have been really hard to explain this time.

"Young master, this servant came to you to find out the whereabouts of the hairpin according to the old lady's words. Please open the door for this servant." Taohong said that this matter was entrusted to Taohong by Mrs. Xiang, so Now she also sent Tao Hong to Xiang Qin's yard to find the hairpin. Tao Hong sneaked in and buried the hairpin. Only she and Mrs. Xiang knew where the hairpin was hidden.

Liu Xiaodong quickly kicked the excavated soil into the pit, stepped on it a few times, and wiped it with his hands a few times. It looked the same as before they turned the soil over. Liu Xiaodong went to the small kitchen to wash it. After doing all this, Liu Xiaodong came out of the bedroom, walked up to Xiang Qin and nodded to Xiang Qin.

Xiang Qin stepped forward to open the courtyard door, and the one standing in front was Tao Hong, and behind Tao Hong were seven or eight maidservants and servants. When Tao Hong saw Xiang Qin, she first saluted Xiang Qin, "I have seen you, my son. , it was the old lady who sent the servants to come..."

Before Tao Hong finished speaking, Xiang Qin stepped aside and opened the courtyard door, "Got it, come in, we can rest earlier after searching."

"Yes, the servants have just searched Miss Biao's place, and now they are here with you, I hope you will forgive me, and I am not unaware that this hairpin is very important to the old lady, and the old lady hasn't eaten all day because of it. "Tao Hong was still trying to explain, and also took the initiative to tell Xiang Qin that they went to search Sima Qingman's yard first.

They searched Sima Qingman's yard first, and now came to Xiang Qin's yard. Doesn't this mean that nothing was found in Sima Qingman's yard, and they were the last ones to come to Xiang Qin's yard? Isn't it obvious that the lost hairpin is in Xiang Qin's yard?

Xiang Qin coldly glanced at Tao Hong and the maids and servants who were following Tao Hong, "Don't talk nonsense, you all searched carefully for me, hurry up and don't delay our rest."

"Yes, yes, we will definitely not delay your son's rest." Tao Hong dare not show any temper in front of Xiang Qin, but in front of those little maids and servants, Tao Hong is used to domineering, "you Two, go to the bedroom and have a look, the two of you go there, you go there, and the three of you, go there and have a look."

After assigning tasks to everyone behind her, only Taohong was left. Taohong seemed to be casually looking around in the yard, but she was actually looking for an opportunity to bury her before the big tree at the gate of the yard. The hairpin here is dug out.
