Qingzhou City shrouded in night is particularly quiet, and there is almost no light in the streets and alleys. Compared with Tokyo Bianliang, which can be called the city of never sleep, this place is completely another world.

In fact, this is reasonable. Qingzhou is already a poor place, and there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters recently. The lives of the people are getting more and more sad. There are not many people coming and going on the streets during the day, not to mention that in the middle of the night, only a few refuelers are still walking around the streets and alleys with their duty, beating their hands and waists.

In this darkness and tranquility, there is a team of more than ten people in the south of the city today. Several torches illuminated the surrounding area of ​​more than ten feet and also illuminated the costumes of the team. However, it is an official army, which is a bit rare.

Originally, the Qingzhou Xiang Army had been in a state of disarray for several years, so it was impossible for anyone to do such a night patrol. But this time, Sun Tu took over military affairs, especially after he captured the thieves who had been successful in the city recently, he sent his troops to patrol the south of the city, which had many wealthy families. Not only at night, but also during the day, there were officials walking here to observe the situation and reactions of passers-by.

These teams that were entrusted with important tasks are naturally the elite of the rebuilt wing army. Each team is also led by three Jiangzhou soldiers to play the role of leading the new. However, in addition to patrol, their daily training has not been reduced. Even when they are walking on the road at this moment, these Qingzhou wing army still scream a few pains from time to time.

But they did not blame Sun Tu for his harshness in his treatment, because doing all this is a reflection of his ability, and he also gains a lot of benefits, such as getting more money and food every month. These are the rules set by Sun Tu in the camp early in the morning.

In order to relieve the loneliness and anxiety in the dark, several soldiers were whispering to the relevant matters: "Old Liu, you have been in the second grade today's assessment. I guess you can get three more kilograms of grain at the end of the month, which is a huge sum of 100 cents, right?"

"What's the point? It's not as good as Brother Huang. He has been waiting every three days. If this continues, I'm afraid that I won't be able to spend more than a few chunks of money at the end of the month. This is more generous than our military salary." Old Liu looked at a sturdy man walking in front of the team with envy: "And I also heard that the Minister of the Ministry intends to select some elite troops from our army to form the scout camp. As long as he becomes a member of the scout camp, the money and food he can get every month can be tripled..."

As soon as these words were said, all the soldiers in Qingzhou were amazed. In fact, this statement had already spread in the camp, and everyone was most concerned about it. To be honest, for big-headed soldiers like them who had no land and no constant business, military pay was the only source of income. It would be better if they could increase it a lot.

At this moment, several people began to discuss the various requirements for entering the scout camp. As of now, it is far from enough to stand and perform well, and they may have to test their skills.

It was not until they reached the end of the long street here and were about to turn that the two Jiangzhou soldiers who were leading the army suddenly raised their hands and stopped them from speaking. Then they suddenly drew their swords in their hands with a look of alert and shouted loudly: "Who is there?" Everyone then realized what their responsibilities were at this time, and quickly showed off their weapons, staring at the darkness in the corner ahead with some vigilance. As the two leaders waved their hands gently, the soldiers quickly dispersed and surrounded the other side.

The result was a false alarm. When everyone was carefully surrounded and shone the alley with a torch, a black cat suddenly soared into the air and slammed the wall, and disappeared like lightning. In addition, there was nothing strange in the not-too-deep alley.

It was not until this time that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and someone smiled and said, "This thief cat is really hateful, but it shocked us very much..."

Some people also flattered their leader: "The captain is indeed very good at seeing. He can still find the traces of the black cat in such a dark night. If the thief was here, he would definitely not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the two captains."

After some boasting and laughing, the team left the alley and walked forward along the straight long street again. Until they went far away, even the light of the torch could not shine here, a figure emerged from the dead end at the other end. This was an extremely thin and slightly hunched guy. Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, his pair of triangular rat eyes were sly: "Damn, Grandpa Shi almost fell into your hands today. Fortunately, I was prepared... This time it seems that the government has really put a lot of effort into it, but it doesn't matter, I always have a way to succeed!" With a gentle smile, the man waved his hand and disappeared into the dark night. His movements were so fast that he was even better than that light black cat. No wonder he could escape the search of those dozen pairs of eyes.

The Luo family mansion is the third stolen household that Sun Tu has visited in the past few days. At this time, Luo Chan, the head of the Luo family, was leading Sun Tu and several personal soldiers in a humble smile, and he was also yelling bitterness: "Sun Dujian, the young man really didn't expect that the thief would actually make his mind to my house... Although my Luo family is rich in Qingzhou, it has been accumulated by several generations of people. It is really unkind. Moreover, the stolen one is still a carved phoenix jade bracelet passed down from my ancestors. If I really can't get it back, the villain will really lose face to meet the ancestors of the Luo family..."

Sun Tu naturally understood what he meant by saying this. He simply hoped that he could do his best to help find the thief to get the lost items back, and at the same time exonerate him. In this case, the owners of both families had said before that Sun Tu never took it seriously.

After entering the hall, Luo Chan asked his servants to serve the guests, Sun Tu took action: "It's okay to drink tea anytime. I came here today to find clues related to the theft case, not to drink tea. I also asked Mr. Luo to take me to the place where the treasures are hidden."

"Yes, yes, the governor is really dedicated to serving the people. I believe that if you take action this time, you will definitely capture the thief." Luo Chan was even more happy when he heard this, and quickly bowed and slapped them to the courtyard behind his home. Finally, he came to a two-story attic, pointing to the above floor, saying, "Confucius, the bracelet was stolen from this attic. This was a study of the villain, and there were also some valuable items hidden underneath. There were still people guarding them, thinking that it was foolproof. But the result..."

"Oh?" Sun Tu looked around the attic. Apart from a few big trees that were a lot taller than the attic, there was no other cover. If the thief really got the hand here, it would not be easy. Compared to the stolen treasures of the two families before, the situation of the Luo family looked even more strange.

After entering the attic, Sun Tu first carefully observed the situation at the gate. Although the door bolt is not too new, there is no trace left by prying on it. Obviously, the other party could not have pried in from the outside. Moreover, there are servant Shutong watching it day and night below, so it is even more impossible for someone to touch it in at will.

After scanning the first floor environment with his eyes, Sun Tu went straight to the second floor.

The environment above is much better than the first floor. Not only are there a few large bookshelves, hundreds of books on it, but there are also some porcelain antiques and a few brocade boxes. There is also a magnificent desk next to the wall, which looks like the material is of high quality sandalwood.

"Is that bracelet missing here? Was it placed on the shelf?" Sun Tu asked after scanning the things one by one.

"That's right, there are some other things that are missing, but in comparison, this pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets is my Luo family heirloom..." Luo Chan looked painful: "Now only the dragon bracelets are still there, so I can't make a pair of them."

"Oh? Is it actually a pair of jade bracelets?" Sun Tu's heart moved, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he came to the window first, checked carefully, and asked again: "After discovering theft, the windows here are closed?"

"That's right. The servants lock all the doors and windows here every night, so this matter becomes more and more strange. I really don't know how the thief came in and out of here... Could it be that he can really fly to the sky and escape?" Luo Chan looked puzzled and annoyed.

After seeing it, Sun Tu frowned a little more, and there were no traces of prying on the window. This matter was really strange: "Are there any other entrances and exits here..." As Sun Tu spoke, he subconsciously looked up and glanced above his eyes, and then his eyes settled on the small hole on the left. It was a small ventilation window, which should have been used to ventilate. It roughly estimated that it would be about a square foot.

Luo Chan also noticed his move and explained: "In addition to the doors and windows, this vent window is only a 2 meter high from the ground, and it is four or five meters outside. Moreover, this vent window is only about one foot, and even a child can't get through it, how could the thief enter and exit through this..."

Sun Tuze narrowed his eyes slightly: "The more impossible some things seem, the easier it is to come true. Haven't you heard that there is a unique strange man in the world who is proficient in bone shrinking? As long as they are willing, this foot of skylight is enough for them to easily penetrate."

After saying this, Sun Tu had already jumped up, and pressed the force on the shelf with his hand, and then he jumped again and rushed to the top of the shelf in the screams of Luo Chan and his friends. This wooden shelf was not only tall enough, but also heavy enough that he could not shake at all after borrowing the force.

After easily climbing onto the top of the shelf, Sun Tu's eyes were quickly looking towards the position facing the skylight. During this look, the corners of his mouth curled up - indeed he discovered it!
