Li Si and others took a glance and immediately knelt down.
Duan Chuiwen did not move, only nodded slightly, and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince. I am here to track down a notorious thief. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."
After saying that, he walked inside.
"Bold!" Leopard Wei roared angrily and waved his palm to attack his life gate.
Unexpectedly, the other party reacted very quickly. Not only did he sideways dodge in an instant, he also struck back with a backhand move.
It reached the point without any damage.
Leopard Tail felt even more embarrassed and annoyed. He was just about to fight for 300 rounds to regain his face when he suddenly heard a slight cough. His strong body froze and silently retreated to the side.
"Master Duan is serious." Xia Houzhi sat up halfway, raised his hands to wrap around his concubine's waist, and said with a smile, "I will cooperate with you when handling the case in Dali Temple. I will listen to my little tune, you can do whatever you want."
Duan Chuiwen was not polite at all and started searching around very casually.
Wooden cabinets, behind curtains, under tables...all the places where people can be hidden are left untouched.
Li Si lowered his head, secretly sweating as he listened to the ringing sound.
At the same time, the sound of silk and bamboo did not stop. When Xia Houzhi saw that the other party was almost done, he greeted: "It is better to meet by chance than to meet. It is fate. Why don't Sir Duan stay and relax with me?"
"No need."
Li Si was worried, fearing that his master would make such nonsense again as "people of different ways cannot work together".
Fortunately, the conflict did not occur.
"disturb."
Duan Chuiwen clasped his fists and bowed, retreating to the door under the smiling gaze of the other party.
Before leaving, he glanced at a place quietly, thought for a moment, and finally said nothing, turned around and strode away.
The group of people went downstairs, and Li Si came over and whispered: "This prince is not as violent as the rumors say. We kicked down his door and injured many guards outside, but not only did he not get angry, he also remained kind and friendly.
..." After a pause, he chuckled twice, "But the rumors are partly correct. She is indeed quite beautiful, like a girl."
Duan Chuiwen glanced at his subordinates and said coolly: "The body of the last person who commented on him like this is still hanging at the market entrance. It is probably almost dry."
Li Si looked horrified and quickly covered his mouth.
"Have you searched all the other rooms on the second floor?"
"Yes, sir." Everyone said in unison.
"It seems we should let him run away. That bastard is really cunning!" Li Si clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Perhaps the cunning one is not Zhao Qishui, but the employer of this transaction." Duan Chuiwen said thoughtfully, "Don't you think that the hem of the prince's concubine's skirt is too fluffy?"
Li Si's eyes widened: "Then why didn't you just-"
"It's just a guess. We can break into the prince's room to hunt down criminals, but we can't lift his woman's skirt, let alone..."
Any man with some dignity would not do that kind of thing like planting grass on his head.
Things that are less than 50% sure are not worth losing face for.
"Zhang Liang, you lead a team of people to investigate north, and the rest continue to search nearby, paying attention to suspicious passers-by and vehicles."
"yes!"
After explaining, Duan Chuiwen walked to the tea shop on the roadside and sat down, tapping the table with his fingers: "A pot of green bamboo leaves."
Li Si Pidianpidian followed, spontaneously setting up two tea bowls and filling them for each other.
"Oh, if you want to see a person alive or dead, you want to see a corpse, even if it's a corpse. If we can't bring Zhao Qishui back today, those grandsons from the Criminal Department will show off their power again and get into trouble!"
Duan Chuiwen ignored the sighs of his subordinates, only picked up the tea bowl and drank slowly, his eyes rising from time to time, and he glanced at the wooden window on the second floor opposite.
