Without Fu Tuan's fast and accurate scanning, Shen Huaixu's manual search was much slower. Fortunately, she had good eyesight, so the search wasn't too difficult.

After searching around, she only found a booklet full of names. Without taking a closer look, she threw the booklet into the space.

When she walked to the door and wanted to go out, she suddenly heard a series of quick footsteps coming from outside. If she went out at this time, she would only bump into the people coming in. She quickly glanced around the room, and opening the window would also make a sound.

Suddenly, the scream and the sound of something heavy falling were heard. There was not even a candle in the courtyard. It was impossible that the person went to the roof to admire the moon. It was most likely a thief.

Chen Huaixu's mouth curled slightly, and he quickly threw the valuable little things he had just found into the space, while he hid in the shadow against the wall of Duobao Pavilion.

The footsteps quickly came to the outside of the house. The person stood outside the door for a while, and then pushed the door open. Shen Huaixu under the cloak did not move his head, but just restrained his breath and waited quietly.

When the old servant came into Shen Huaixu's sight, she only took a quick glance and lowered her head. From the sound of his footsteps, she felt that the person coming should be a martial artist, but she didn't expect him to be so old.

The old servant frowned and looked in every corner. He didn't see anyone, but he always felt that there was a presence around him.

Shen Huaixu, hiding in the shadows, was like a wooden sculpture. He felt the old servant anxiously walking around the room twice, as if trying to make sure something was missing. Finally, the old servant walked out of the room.

She waited patiently for a while before following him out.

When I saw the old servant again, he was squatting in front of a person lying on the ground with a lantern in his hand. The candlelight was dim, and I couldn't see the face of the person lying on the ground, but I could see the old servant's face clearly. The old servant reached out and searched for something on the person lying on the ground, but in the end, he obviously found nothing.

He withdrew his hand and took out something else from his body. A cold light flashed, and the smell of blood immediately spread in the dark night.

Shen Huaixu stood under the tree, frowning as she watched the old servant holding the thief's foot and walking towards her after killing someone. Her body stiffened for a moment and then suddenly tensed.

A living person and a dead body gradually approached, and Shen Huaixu's hand hidden in the cloak clenched the pistol that appeared out of thin air.

When they were about to face each other, the old servant walked towards her side and behind her. Shen Huaixu remembered that there was a well there. Then there was a sound of something heavy hitting the water.

After dealing with the thief's body, the old servant passed by Shen Huaixu again, bent down to pick up the lantern that had fallen to the ground. When he stood up again, his back was no longer hunched, and his whole body revealed a temperament that was not in line with his status, and he strode towards the main courtyard.

This scene made Shen Huaixu open his eyes slightly in astonishment.

It seems that there are still many fun things to do in this villa.

Chen Huaixu did not immediately follow the old servant to the main courtyard. She originally wanted to put the blame for the mess in the house on the thief, but she never expected that the thief did not leave and the old servant was so cruel that he indirectly killed a life.

The night wind couldn't reach her, but she felt a little cold for no reason.

After standing still for a moment, Shen Huaixu glanced at the well behind her. She was about to go back to the main courtyard when she heard the sound of fighting. Judging from the sound, it was from the direction of the main courtyard, so she immediately ran towards the main courtyard quickly.

Hiding outside the yard, she heard a familiar voice.

"Body search." It's Frost.

There was a moment of silence, and then a familiar voice came again. It was Dahan. "Dagger, there's blood on it, fresh blood."

Chen Huaixu silently peeked into the courtyard, just in time to see Shuangjiang angrily kicking the old servant in the chest. Then she asked, "Tell me! What did you do to my young master?"

Young master?

The old slave was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. What kind of master is that thief? He is the king of thieves! His face is full of pockmarks and he looks like a thief. He is nothing!

Getting up from the ground, he said with difficulty: "Who is your young master? I don't know..."

"Why don't you answer me properly? If you don't behave, I'll punish you severely, believe it or not?!"

Yes, it’s Xiaoman.

The old servant really didn't know what had happened tonight, so he shouted, "Someone did come to the villa tonight, a thief. I cut off one of his fingers and let him go. Your young master can't be that thief, right?"

Xiaoman was furious when he heard this: "You even chopped off one of her fingers?! Hold him down! I'll chop off his hand!"

Unable to hide any longer, Shen Huaixu took off his cloak and threw it into the space, coughed lightly, and walked into the yard.

Seeing Shen Huaixu, Xiaoman immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay? Did he chop off your hand?"

The old slave looked at Shen Huaixu with astonishment on his face, and suddenly realized that if a third person was present, all the strange things tonight would be explained.

After figuring it out, he immediately withdrew his gaze, hunched over again, and turned into the old slave he was before.

"I'm fine." Shen Huaixu glanced at the old slave, "Search his entire body carefully. If there's nothing wrong, take him away and hand him over to my father. Be careful and don't let him escape."

Xiaohan didn't know what his young lady's intention was, but since she had given the order, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, young lady. No one who falls into our hands will be able to escape."

The old slave didn't expect that he would be taken away by this group of inexplicable people. He immediately struggled, "Why are you taking me away?! Who are you..."

Shen Huaixu looked at him with eyes as cold as water, "I saw you kill someone with my own eyes."

This one sentence made the old slave collapse dejectedly on the ground, and was led away by two people, one on each side.

"Miss, it's late. If you don't go back, the master will be worried."

Shen Huaixu walked in one direction and asked as he walked, "Is my father home?"

Xiaoman: "Not yet."

"That's it. Tomorrow, search this villa thoroughly and keep an eye out for tunnels, secret rooms, or anything like that."

Frost nodded in agreement.

"So, miss, where are we going now?"

"Go to where the old servant lives and see if there's anything useful."

The old servant's living place was as simple as his attire, but Shen Huaixu found a crane order from the bottom compartment of his cage.

She looked at it again and again and could see that the token was made of gold, with exquisite workmanship. The crane carved on it was lifelike, and there was a word "沉" (Shen) on the crane's body. It should be a royal item of the previous dynasty. However, she didn't know what the token was used for, nor did she know whether the crane token was obtained by the old servant by chance or it had belonged to him originally.
