“Master Lu, is there anyone watching the attic at night?”

Xiao Qiuyue asked.

Flower pickers have committed many crimes in Suzhou. It stands to reason that Magistrate Lu should be more vigilant to protect his daughter’s safety.

Magistrate Lu said: “Since this flower-picking thief appeared in Suzhou City, the official has stepped up patrols in the mansion at night. And four more guards have been placed under the attic to keep watch.”

“Oh, I didn’t expect that the four nursing homes didn’t even see the shadow of the flower picker last night, so they were all hit by silver needles in their acupuncture points, and they all fainted on the spot.”

“It wasn’t until almost the fourth watch that a few servants on night watch discovered several nurses lying down under the attic. That’s when we knew something serious had happened.”

Huang Shaojie listened to Magistrate Lu’s story and thought to himself:

It seems that this flower-picking thief is not only good at light work, but also good at concealed weapons.

If you encounter one, you should be careful about his hidden weapons when arresting him.

Huang Shaojie didn’t take the Flower Picker’s Qinggong to his heart. With his Qinggong of catching wind and catching shadows, it can be said that there is no one under the Grandmaster who can match him.

If it were daytime, he could easily avoid the flower-picking thief’s silver needle with his Qinggong movement, but if it was nighttime, it would be difficult to defend against him.

In any case, now that he knew that the flower picker was good at casting silver needles, Huang Shaojie was more alert. It would not be easy for the flower picker to shoot him.

Xiao Qiuyue asked: “Have you ever seen the face of this flower picker clearly?”

Magistrate Lu shook his head and sighed: “The adulterer blew the incense from the window and knocked the girl unconscious. She only woke up the next morning and found out that she had been defiled by the flower picker. She was so distraught that she attempted to commit suicide several times. , were all stopped by us.”

This is the same as several other flower-picking cases. The flower-picking thieves blew incense into the boudoir and then entered the room to pick flowers.

“You guys go search around the attic to see if you can find any clues left by the flower picker.”

Xiao Qiuyue gave orders to Huang Shaojie and several other captains, and then she followed County Magistrate Lu to Miss Lu’s boudoir on the second floor.

Miss Lu has been sent to another wing at this moment. At this time, in the attic boudoir, the scene left after the crime is still preserved as much as possible.

The boudoir was a bit messy, and all the boxes and cabinets had been turned over. It was obvious that the flower picker had stolen the gold and silver jewelry in the boudoir after picking the flowers.

The white sheets of the bed were stained with blood.

On one wall, there is an erotic poem:

If there are flowers, you must break them off. Don’t wait until there are no flowers.

The beauty sleeps alone in an empty room, and she is ecstatic after scenting the scent.

Signature: Urging the playboy.

“This lewd thief is truly daring and extremely wanton!”

After Xiao Qiuyue read the erotic poems on the wall, she couldn’t help snorting coldly on her pretty face, and two cold gleams flashed in her eyes.

Dare to come to the county magistrate’s house to pick flowers, and then write a pornographic poem and leave your name when you are done. This is simply adding salt to the victim’s wounds and bringing shame on the government.

Magistrate Lu also had a look of grief and anger on his face: “If I catch this adulterer, I will definitely skin him, cramp him, and cut him into pieces!”

Under the attic.

Huang Shaojie and several other captains were searching around the attic.

In fact, the area around this area has already been searched by county and government police officers, so naturally there will be no new discoveries.

Huang Shaojie has the power of insight, so he can find a lot of messy footprints. However, these footprints are too many and too complex. I don’t know how many people have come here, and it’s impossible to tell which one belongs to the flower picker.

After searching and finding nothing, Huang Shaojie went directly to the attic and came to the attic window.

The window is a wooden window with a lattice framed with flower paper. The window has been pushed open, leaving a small hole in the window paper. It was obviously broken by the flower picker who put his blowpipe in.

On the window sill, Huang Shaojie discovered a footprint through insight. He took off his soap boots and compared them. He found that they were at least four or five yards shorter than his own shoes.

Huang Shaojie thought to himself, his height is seven feet nine and a half inches (one foot is 23 centimeters), and his shoe size is 43, so the size of this shoe print is probably size 38.

Normally, a man wearing size 38 shoes should not be tall, probably around 160.

The shoe prints were so shallow that if he hadn’t had the Insight Skill, he wouldn’t have been able to tell. The Flower Picker was good at lightness, so Huang Shaojie couldn’t deduce the Flower Picker’s body shape from the shoe prints.

At this time, Xiao Qiuyue also happened to come to the window and looked into Huang Shaojie’s eyes.

“Why did you come up here?” Xiao Qiuyue frowned, and without waiting for Huang Shaojie’s answer, she asked again, “Have you found any clues under the attic?”

Huang Shaojie cupped his hands and said, “Sir, I only found a lot of messy footprints and nothing else.”

This was within Xiao Qiuyue’s expectation.

The flower-picking thief came and went without a trace last night, and did not contact the nurse in the mansion.

If there is a fight among the servants, nothing will be left behind.

Moreover, the county government office and the government office must have searched it this morning, and they would have discovered any clues.

Huang Shaojie added: “However, my subordinates speculate that this flower picker is probably less than seven feet tall.”

Xiao Qiuyue couldn’t help being stunned, “Oh, how did you determine that this flower picker was less than seven feet tall?”

“My subordinate found the flower thief’s footprints on the window sill and compared the length. It was about 38 yards, so I guessed that the flower thief was less than seven feet tall.”

“Footprints? Where are they?” Xiao Qiuyue looked at the windowsill, but found no obvious footprints on the windowsill, but there was a trace of soil left behind.

The window sills are often wiped by servants and there is no dust. Naturally, it is difficult to leave clear footprints when stepping on them.

Huang Shaojie pointed at the trace of soil: “Sir, please see, there are footprints of the thief here, but they are not obvious.”

Xiao Qiuyue looked with her eyes, and then she barely saw a faint footprint on the windowsill.

This surprised Xiao Qiuyue!

With her eighth-level innate realm and sufficient internal strength, she could only find a few footprints, let alone how long the shoe print was.

But the new captain could actually spot the footprints on the windowsill at a glance and measure how long the footprints were.

I really don’t know if Mr. Huang is born with good eyesight, or if his cultivation level is higher than hers?

But if his cultivation level is higher than hers, how is this possible?

She, Xiao Qiuyue, had been taught by famous teachers since she was a child and had taken many elixirs. In addition to her extraordinary talent, she had reached the eighth level of innateness at the age of 21.

Huang Shaojie was just a disciple of a wealthy businessman in Suzhou City. How could he surpass her in martial arts?

Seeing the beauty of the general banner staring at him like a monster, Huang Shaojie naturally guessed the doubts in Xiao Qiuyue’s heart at this moment.

At that moment, he cupped his hands and said, “My subordinates are born with extremely good eyesight and can easily detect subtle details that are difficult for others to see.”

He is really gifted with good eyesight!

Xiao Qiuyue believed it, and nodded slightly after hearing this: “Well, with such eyesight, it is suitable to handle cases in Jinyiwei.”

Then he said: “Then come in and see if you can find any clues in Miss Lu’s boudoir.”

“Yes, sir.”

Huang Shaojie bowed his head, walked around to the door and walked in.
