"What? Stolen?"
Lu Xinghe was more excited than anyone else. He slammed the table, his handsome face filled with anger: "Who is so bold?"
"How dare they steal things from our territory, from such a strictly guarded auction? This is simply outrageous!"
They caught me.
The thief will be skinned alive if he doesn't die.
Compared with Lu Xinghe's anger, Lu Jiuzhou seemed much calmer, and even had a faint smile on his lips.
"..." Lu Xinghe saw it with his own eyes, but he was puzzled in his heart. He comforted him: "Royal brother, I know you are sad that your things were stolen."
"But could you not smile so creepily?"
He was a little scared.
Lu Jiuzhou glanced at him, his expression indifferent: "I'm not sad, because someone who recognizes the words above has finally appeared."
The reason why it was stolen.
He probably knew those words and took advantage of the peak period of the auction to blend into the crowd and steal the things.
The one who can do this without making a sound.
He's not bad either.
He put something on it, and as long as someone came into contact with it, it would only be a matter of time before he knew their address.
"Ah?" Lu Xinghe was stunned.
Not only him, but even Nan Shuai and the others were stunned.
This imperial uncle.
He looks a bit shrewd and doesn't seem to worry about anything. He has the illusion that everything is under his control.
Nan Shuai was about to ask the guard something, but he heard Lu Jiuzhou ask it first.
He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Lu Jiuzhou asked the guard again: "Who stole it, how, and where?"
Maybe there are some key clues.
The guard shook his head. "No one saw who it was. They only saw a dark shadow passing by. The people around said they were in a trance."
"I'm afraid that person's skills are very impressive, far surpassing those present."
"..." Lu Jiuzhou touched his chin and fell silent.
There is no shortage of high-grade items at the auction.
Even they couldn't see who it was. He was indeed a tricky person.
"But..." The guard thought of something again and gave a clue: "It seems that there was a strange fragrance at that time, which was..."
"Yes, it's sandalwood."
“…” Now it was Nan Shuai’s turn to be silent, the scent of sandalwood lingered.
He remembered that Xiao Chengyan's father...啟, his brother had a faint scent of sandalwood on him, although they were a bit far away at the time.
But he couldn't be wrong.
It smelled quite nice, not pungent or strong, and he liked it a little. He was just thinking about it in his mind after returning to the college.
Ask the monitor to ask his brother what brand of perfume he likes.
It must be perfume.
Unexpectedly, this clue allowed Nan Shuai to judge that his brother was the one who stole the things, but why did he steal?
Could it be really the same as what Lu Jiuzhou said?
Does he know him?
Thinking of this, Nan Shuai couldn't wait: "Well... I remembered that someone wanted to see me today, so I'll go back to the palace first."
Finished.
He left without looking back.
I want to take a gamble and see if that person is still in that cubicle. If he is, I want to ask him if he can recognize the old man's handwriting.
Or who is he?
"What about me? What should I do if you leave alone?" Yu Tong shouted from behind when she saw him leaving her and walking away alone.
Did he forget about him?
really.
It must be his childhood sweetheart who came to see him, otherwise he wouldn’t be so anxious.
"You can come back with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Nan Shuai didn't look back.
…
The auction ended unknowingly. There were many people leaving outside. Nan Shuai squeezed through the crowd with his small body and came to the door of the compartment.
He took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door to show courtesy.
I found the door was ajar.
There was no one inside. The building was deserted. Nan Shuai could hardly hide his disappointment: "It seems that I am still a step too late."
If I had known this, I would have run faster.
Maybe I can still meet them, but there is no one here now.
Just as Nan Shuai was feeling dejected, a soft laugh came from above his head: "Little friend, why are you here again? Are you looking for me?"
Nan Shuai looked up.
He stared blankly at his brother Xiao Chengyan who was smiling at him, not knowing what to say for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"I...thought you were gone." He scratched his head.
"I forgot to take something." Xiao Chengyan pointed to the auction items he had bought on the table. He could even forget to take something he had spent money on.
Nan Shuai had to admire that he was a rich man.
Xiao Chengyan simply sat down, pointed across from him, and asked with a half-smile, "Sit down, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Judging from the sweat on his forehead, he must have jogged here.
It should be urgent.
"Uh..." Nan Shuai, who wanted to question, didn't ask. There was no evidence yet to prove that the person in front of him was the thief.
You can't question someone just because of a scent without any evidence.
It will be troublesome if you make a mistake.
Nan Shuai made an excuse: "I want to ask what the fragrance on your body is. It smells good to me and I want to give some to my brother."
This excuse was so perfect that even he believed it.
He is really smart.
"You're talking about the fragrance on me." Xiao Chengyan propped up his head with his hands, a smile in his eyes: "This kind of fragrance is not for sale."
"Ah... why?"
“It’s body odor.”
“…”
Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Xiao Chengyan stood up, moved closer, and even lifted his sleeves to reveal his skin: "If you don't believe me, smell it."
