Chapter 258: The Clown Is Actually Me

After hearing Song Guichen finish speaking, Gu Yi frowned.

During the day in Kaifeng Mansion, I heard from Master Gongsun that among the lost items, there were two pairs of Yu Ruyi, and they were probably going to be given to Ding Wei as a birthday gift.

The thief left the more valuable Yu Ruyi, but took away a pair of embroidery?
Du Qingshan laughed, and joked: "I think this thief is also a loyal admirer of Brother Yan. He found out that Brother Yan had inscribed on the embroidery, so he deliberately came to steal this embroidery."

Pin'er, who was still crying, burst out laughing when she heard the words, she said: "I'm going to go back to my girl, gentlemen, please go."

Walking out of the fan building, Gu Yiyou frowned and thought about something. Du Qingshan saw him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Gu, although investigation is important, don't forget to sleep and eat like this, just pay attention to your body."

"Brother Du, don't you find it strange?"

"Ok?"

"Last night, thieves entered and exited Fanlou. Fanlou, where people come and go, is like entering a no-man's land. They stole everyone's belongings from the No. [-] pavilion on the second floor. They have not been found. If it weren't for Brother Du, you just happened to When it happens, this thief can come and go without a trace—”

"You mean 'me too'?"

"Yes!" Gu Yi said excitedly, "Brother Du, do you still remember the story told by the storyteller in Fan Lou San Hall yesterday? She was talking about the deeds of the Jiangnan thief 'I'm here'!"

"Yesterday, I was curious. Since the case of Shocuilou, "I come" seems to have stopped, and I have never heard of him stealing again. Kaifeng is thousands of miles away from Hangzhou. How did the storyteller know "I am here?" Lai Ye's story? How can it be told so meticulously and truthfully that it is almost the same as the story of Zhou Qiang and Cuiniang?"

Hearing this, Song Guichen looked at Gu Yi in surprise: "Zhou Qiang and Cuiniang have come to the capital?"

Seeing that she was not surprised that Zhou Qiang said "I'm coming", but directly asked Zhou Qiang if he came to the capital, Gu Yi's heart was moved, and he asked with a smile: "Xiaochen already knew that Zhou Qiang was "I'm coming"?"

Song Guichen bowed his head embarrassedly and smiled.

Then he nodded and said, "I do know that 'I'm here' is Brother Zhou."

Du Qingshan looked at the two of them with black lines all over his head, especially at Song Guichen.

My good fellow, Zhou Qiang is actually the legendary Jiangnan thief, come here?
Xiaochen actually knew?

And he and Brother Gu were kept in the dark?
"When did Xiaochen know?" Du Qingshan opened his mouth with jealousy that he didn't even realize.

Gu Yi glanced at him and shook his head with a smile.

Song Guichen said: "A long time ago, I promised him to keep it a secret."

"I can't complain about the Cuilou case, 'I'll come' will no longer steal. It turns out that 'I'll come' is actually Zhou Qiang." Gu Yi pondered for a while, and said to Du Qingshan, "Brother Du, I have to Go back to Fan Lou to confirm."

"Confirm who the storyteller was yesterday?"

"Brother Du is the one who knows me."

Song Guichen was also curious whether Zhou Qiang had really come to the capital, took Li Cui with one hand, and Du Qi with the other, and followed the two of them back to Fan Lou.

The night was dark, the lights in Fanlou were dim, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate had changed their posts and were dozing off on the porch.

Zhu Lingyi was ready to take a rest, and heard that Gu Yi and others turned back, so she got dressed and came out.

Gu Yi went straight to the point and said: "Miss Zhu, I wonder if the storyteller in the loose hall of your building is in the building last night?"

Zhu Lingyi smiled and nodded: "You mean Sister Ye? Her surname is Ye, and her name is Ling. She is a Luqi person who specializes in storytelling. Because she is especially good at telling the book "Giving Words", Bianjing drinkers also love to listen to it." For this passage, Fanlou made a contract with her, and she will come to Fanlou to tell stories every two days, and Fanlou has nothing to do with her during the rest of the time."

"Yesterday was the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it was the day when she went to Fan Lou to tell a book, so she was seen. This morning, she was no longer in the building."
