Seeing the three of them listening attentively, Ye Lingfeng suddenly felt he had regained his place and realized that he was finally being valued.
So he didn't dare keep anyone in suspense and told them everything he had seen.
"I discovered that this courtyard was previously rented by a girl."
She had taken all her luggage, but she had only used a little of the skincare products in the room, which were still on the dressing table.
These skincare products look like they come from a very expensive brand. Girls pay a lot of attention to their skin care. It would be understandable if they forgot to take one bottle, but the whole set is still here.
Furthermore, the tableware and utensils in the kitchen are exquisite, belonging to the kind that seem inconspicuous but are low-key yet luxurious, and the price is not cheap.
The seasonings in the kitchen all have very recent expiration dates; that bottle of olive oil was produced at the beginning of this month.
Although there was dust in the yard, there were no weeds, which means that people lived in the yard not long ago.
If no one has lived here for a long time, it would be overgrown with weeds, and the dust would probably be piled up as thick as copper coins.
This proves that the girl in this courtyard lived here for a long time, but it also seems that she suddenly disappeared because of some incident.
So Fifth Brother brought us here; it must be related to this girl.
Xiao Xi and Fifth Brother exchanged glances. Ye Lingfeng was indeed very observant and meticulous, worthy of someone who had received assassin training.
Ye Lingfeng saw approval in the eyes of Fifth Brother and Xiao Xi, and for some reason felt inexplicably happy, like a child who had been praised.
Xiaoxi smiled faintly, "Keep talking, talk more, I love to hear it."
Ye Lingfeng seemed to sense that he was about to have something to do, so he quickly picked up a large mouthful of food.
"Fifth Brother, now I understand why you made me wear that big gold chain earlier. You deliberately made me look like a nouveau riche, just to attract the attention of the neighbors."
And the person who was eavesdropping just now must be from the next-door family, because the disappearance of the girl in this courtyard must be related to the next-door family.
Firstly, they were afraid we'd find out, and secondly, they wanted to find an opportunity to rob us at night.
Ye Xingxian nodded and looked at Ye Lingfeng with even more appreciation.
"Indeed, Eighth Brother, your observation is keen, and you've guessed almost perfectly. I know your biggest question right now is, why is the disappearance of the girl living in the courtyard related to the family next door? What did they do?"
Ye Lingfeng was, of course, eager to know, and it was incredibly agonizing.
Xiao Xi asked Xiao Nai to bring her a bowl of water, and then dipped her fair fingertip into the water.
She noticed the extremely curious looks on Ye Lingfeng and Xiao Nai's faces, so she explained.
"Because the water pipes of the steel pipe well in this yard and the steel pipe well in the neighboring yard are connected, I just put a grasshopper over there, which is like a listening device. What they say over there is transmitted through the well water."
"This is truly amazing," Ye Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Xiao Xi is just that incredible.
At this moment, all that could be heard from the bowl was the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen in the distance. Presumably, no one from next door had returned yet, and the old woman was cooking.
Then Ye Xingxian added, "Everyone, hurry up and eat more, we'll be busy after midnight."
Ye Lingfeng quickly started eating.
The five of them had almost finished eating when they heard the sound of the neighboring family returning home.
All that could be heard was the old woman's excited voice.
“Old man, let me tell you, a few more people moved in next door this afternoon. I saw that kid come to borrow something today, he’s really rich, probably a rich kid. That gold chain is as thick as my little finger.”
