It turned out that when he arrived in Chutian County, Xie Wenzhou in the southeast had just sent troops to attack Xiangzhou.
Chutian County, the easternmost county, was the first to be hit, and his good friend unfortunately died during the period. It was said that he discovered a spy in the city and was then killed.
“…” When the three heard this, their expressions changed and they all felt sad about this matter.
"The dead cannot be resurrected, please accept my condolences, Brother Yue..." Chen Yunxuan comforted the man in front of him.
Yue Lingyun didn't say anything, but just poured himself another glass of wine.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, but Lin Tongxi finally decided to break the ice and started another topic: "By the way, Brother Yue, did you go out without any money today?"
The other party shook his head and said that he had rushed back all the way from the east and had most of the money with him, but he only realized that he had no money after arriving in Ruihe Town.
Recalling the previous theft, Lin Tongxi immediately concluded that Yue Lingyun's money had been stolen: "Brother Yue, I'm afraid someone stole your money. Did you notice anything unusual after arriving in town?"
Yue Lingyun carefully recalled the places he had been to, and then reported a place - the market.
This is exactly where thefts occur most frequently!
"Oh right... it seems a child bumped into me... I felt something strange at the time, but couldn't put my finger on it, so I didn't think much of it." Yue Lingyun continued to recount his memories. "That child looked perfectly ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary. After bumping into me, they quickly disappeared into the crowd."
Speaking of the word "children", Chen Yunxuan recalled the information just now, in which a few people also mentioned being hit by children.
Could it be... that a child stole it?
Chen Yunxuan told his guess to the other three people, and then analyzed it carefully, and finally locked the suspicion on the child.
After all, there are so many kids bumping into people that it's suspicious.
Not long after the analysis was completed, the dishes ordered by Lin Tongxi and others arrived. They decided to go to the market after filling their stomachs.
In the afternoon, the four of them came to the market.
Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan pretended to stroll around the market casually, but Yue Lingyun seemed out of place at first, glancing at the suspicious children.
"Hey! Isn't this Brother Yue!" Lin Tongxi pretended to greet him, but actually moved closer to Yue Lingyun and whispered to him, "Brother Yue, you're too obvious... Don't glance around, but pretend to look at the merchandise nearby."
If you want to lure a snake out of its hole, you must not scare it away first.
The other three did a great job on this point, but there was still a problem.
The problem is Su Ruoxue, she did a really great job!
The point of this trip was to find the thief, but she actually went to the market and looked at the jewelry on the street.
Lin Tongxi was about to go up and remind her, but she grabbed a piece of jewelry and looked at Lin Tongxi: "Tongxi, do you think my...sister will look good wearing it?"
Su Ruoxue almost exposed her cross-dressing, but fortunately the other party reacted in time.
"Uh..." Lin Tongxi wanted to remind her, but seeing that Su Ruoxue liked it very much, he decided to buy it: "It feels good, boss, I'll buy this."
"Hehe, then I'll accept it." Su Ruoxue was about to put the jewelry away when she was bumped by a child and almost dropped the jewelry on the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Tongxi hurriedly helped Su Ruoxue: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay...but I always feel a little weird." Su Ruoxue replied, then touched the place where she put the money.
"Thief!" The two realized something and said in unison.
Chen Yunxuan noticed the fast-running child, and then called the other three to chase him.
"That running kid is a thief! Everyone, help him!" Lin Tongxi shouted, trying to mobilize the townspeople to help chase him.
"Where?" Many townspeople at the market had been robbed several times, and they subconsciously became angry when they heard the word "steal".
However, before they could get an answer, Lin Tongxi and the others followed the thieving child and ran away to an unknown place.
The child is extremely agile and can easily overcome obstacles.
In addition, he was very familiar with the terrain and almost got rid of Chen Yunxuan behind him several times.
Finally, in an alley, Chen Yunxuan used his agile body to stand in front of the child.
The child hurriedly braked and bumped into Yue Lingyun who had just arrived behind him. The latter lifted the child's hands.
"What are you doing! I'll tell my parents that you're bullying me!" The child flapped his legs and struggled to get away.
Afterwards, Chen Yunxuan found a lot of silver on the child. The amount was so large that it was definitely not something a child in ordinary clothes could come up with.
"Let me go! I didn't steal this money!"
