"What? It's nothing." Qi Lu snapped back to his senses and quickly turned his head. His face was already a little hot. If it wasn't night time, he would definitely have noticed that his face was extremely red.
"Okay, I'll continue." Qi Lu patted his face to wake himself up." When I was chasing after that person, I felt that his figure was very familiar." The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.”
"Familiar?" Ye Meng crossed her arms and rested her chin on her other hand. The night wind blew, and her simple black hair fluttered gently. His gaze swept across her fair neck. It was a little itchy, and she could not help but rub it gently.
"That's right. " I feel like that person is, is…" Qi Lu did not finish his sentence, but he seemed a little uncertain.
"It seems to be that old servant, right?”Ye Meng answered with certainty.
"Yes, that old servant, eh?”" Yes." Qi Lu nodded at first, but then he felt that something was wrong." How do you know?" he asked hurriedly.”
"I feel the same way." Ye Meng said. Actually, she had been suspicious of him ever since that figure walked out. Coupled with the clues from before, she felt more and more that there was something wrong with that old servant. "Do you still remember when you met that old servant in the bank?”
"I still remember." Qi Lu nodded.
" That was when I realized something was wrong," Ye Meng said." I don't know if you guys noticed the way the old servant held the broom.”
"Postures?"
"That's right." Ye Meng nodded with certainty." At that time, his right hand was in front of his left hand, but shouldn't a normal person's left hand be in front of his right hand?”
" So..." Qi Lu drew his sword and used it as a broom." So you took my sword to test it?"”
"Smart." Ye Meng gave him a thumbs-up, which made Qi Lu feel a little uncomfortable. He rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.
"However, isn't that old servant an old man in his seventies? " How…" Qi Lu held his chin and thought for a moment before continuing," How could he be so agile?”
" It's like…" Qi Lu gestured with his palm." It's like a martial artist in his prime, not like a frail old man at all.”
"I can't say for sure." Ye Meng shook her head. Although she had basically suspected the old servant, she still felt that something was wrong. She kept feeling that there was something wrong, or perhaps there was something she didn't know.
While she suspected the old servant, she also felt that it might not be the old servant. On second thought, he felt that in such a dark situation just now, even if they felt that it was very similar, there was still a possibility of mistaking it. After all, they had only met the old servant once, so it was definitely possible for them to mistake it.
Moreover, the biggest contradiction was that the person just now knew martial arts. No matter what, that old man had worked here for so many years. If he really had such good martial arts, how could he not be exposed at all?
Moreover, even if he had concealed his martial arts, he would still be much weaker at this age. Moreover, if the old servant really wanted to harm the entire bank and rob the property, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until this age?
A series of doubts and contradictions kept emerging, making Ye Meng somewhat confused.
But no matter what, now that there were suspicious points, she felt that she could start from the old servant. Even if she could not find anything, she might find a lot of clues. After all, that old servant had worked in the bank for so many years, so he should be very familiar with the bank.
"By the way, how does that person's martial arts compare to yours?”Ye Meng suddenly asked. If she could lose Qi Lu, then her opponent's martial arts skills were not weak.
If that person's martial arts were above Qi Lu's, it would be even more troublesome. That meant that they would need to make more preparations if they wanted to capture this person.
"Oh, this." Qi Lu was also a little unsure. After all, the two of them had not fought head-on, so he did not know how strong the other was. However, in terms of lightness skills, the two of them had not used their full strength, so they might be about the same in this aspect.
After analyzing the situation in his mind, Qi Lu said," In terms of lightness skills alone, he's not stronger than me.”
"Oh? Then why didn't you catch up?" Ye Meng poked his chest with her fist.
" I was..." Qi Lu turned his head away, wanting to explain.
"Forget it, I'm just teasing you. There's a restaurant ahead. Eat something first and go back to sleep early.”Ye Meng suggested when she saw that the two of them had almost reached the bustling street.
Qi Lu then realized that they had left the street where the bank was located. The surroundings were brighter than before, and Ye Meng's face was clearer.
The dark red lantern shone on her face, reflecting a faint light that made her look a little unreal. Qi Lu felt that he might not have slept well, for he actually felt that Ye Meng did not look real. She was wearing a long green robe and a light yellow jacket. For the convenience of investigating the case, the sleeves were tied into a bow with a light yellow ribbon.
Under the blurry light, her skin was even fairer and ruddy, like a baby. She stood there and looked at him. Her almond-shaped eyes were sparkling, and there was a faint smile on her rosy lips. It felt like a dream that could disappear at any moment.
Unconsciously, he slowly reached out his hand to touch her face to verify if it was real or just an illusion.
As his hand got closer and closer to her face, Qi Lu was so nervous that he was trembling. Just as he was about to touch her, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his wrist.
It turned out that Ye Meng had noticed his movement and twisted his hand. Her eyes were filled with viciousness. She gritted her teeth and said in an extremely barbaric manner,"What do you want?"”
The pain just now woke Qi Lu up instantly. He felt a little guilty when he saw Ye Meng's fierce look and retracted his hand in embarrassment. He didn't even know what had happened to him.
"I'm warning you, stay away from me.”Ye Meng turned around and left after saying that. She found a random snack stall and sat down. Then, she waved at Qi Lu, who was grimacing in pain." What are you waiting for?" Your treat!"
"Alright, alright, alright." Qi Lu could only obediently move forward and wait to be slaughtered.
The next day, Ye Meng woke up very early. She combed her hair and put on a simple jacket with a loose skirt and pants. Her hair was tied up simply, and a wooden auspicious cloud hairpin was inserted diagonally. She looked clean, simple, and pure.
Qi Lu was watering her newly planted plants when he saw her open the door and stretch. The hand holding the water bottle trembled slightly, and the red and swollen part of his hand seemed to still hurt a little.
Although Ye Meng was a woman, her strength was not weak at all.
"Sigh, what are you still doing?" Ye Meng saw that he was wearing a constable uniform with his sleeves rolled up and his long sword placed aside. He was holding a water bottle in his hand with a careful and serious expression.
"Water it." Qi Lu replied.
"Oh." " Yes," Ye Meng replied. She saw the water bottle in his hand and naturally swept her gaze over his hand. She said with some embarrassment," Erm, I'm sorry for being a little harsh yesterday."”
"But it's too ruthless." Qi Lu mumbled without looking up.
"You deserved it, didn't you?" Ye Meng was a little unhappy when she heard his words. She didn't mean to mess with him. If she wanted to blame someone, she could only blame him for touching her. Besides, she had learned how to defend herself from wolves since she was young. In addition, during her time studying forensics, she had unknowingly become stronger when she moved corpses and equipment.
How would she know how much strength she had used?
"Alright, my bad." Qi Lu finished watering the last patch of plants. He put the kettle aside and straightened his clothes." Can we go to the yamen now?"”
"Now?" Ye Meng asked.
"That's right. At this time, the public trial should be starting.”" Yes," Qi Lu replied. The brawny man from before was still guarding the government office. Today was the day for another interrogation. At that time, many people would come to watch.
"Then what are you talking about? Hurry up and go.”Ye Meng helped him pick up the sword and put it in his hand, urging him.
By the time the two of them arrived at the court, almost everyone had already arrived. Seeing the two of them rushing over, the magistrate grumbled unhappily. He scolded Qi Lu in a low voice," As a magistrate, you're late for a public trial. What kind of magistrate are you?" Don't let me down just because I didn't investigate this case for you. What a disgrace!”
"Yes, yes, yes. We were wrong." Ye Meng was afraid that Qi Lu would say something wrong, so she quickly apologized.
Seeing that the two of them had a good attitude, he did not continue to pursue the matter. Magistrate Zhang took a glance and turned his head. He sat upright in the court and slammed the gavel." Open the court!"”
The constable at the side immediately chanted in a well-trained voice,"Mighty!" Ye Meng saw this scene and thought that the TV series did not deceive her. The scene of the ascension was so realistic.
"Bring the suspect." With this order, the hall fell silent. Soon, a few constables brought the burly man into the court.
"What right do you have to interrogate me!" The brawny man still looked unconvinced. He twisted his body forcefully in an attempt to break free, but the chains on his body were made of high-quality materials. He could not break free with his bare hands.
The constables ignored him and helped him undo the shackles on his neck before retreating to the side.
"Wang Tu, do you know your crimes?" Magistrate Zhang saw that he was still unwilling to settle down, so he patted the gavel and asked loudly.
"Sir, my husband is innocent, sir.”At this moment, a woman dressed as a woman outside the door repeatedly cried out that she was wronged, but she was stopped by the constable guarding the door.
At this moment, the surrounding commoners were also pointing at Wang Tu and discussing with each other.
Some said that he wasn't a good person at first glance, while others said that although he was usually fierce, he wasn't so fierce. In short, there were different opinions.
"No noise!" Magistrate Zhang stretched out his hand to signal them to quiet down.
The hall immediately returned to its previous silence. Only Wang Tu's dissatisfied breathing could be heard. "I already said that I was wronged. You officers and soldiers only do inhuman things!”
"Wang Tu! Mind your attitude!"
"Humph!" Wang Tu turned his face away. His face was filled with anger. It was probably because the anger in his heart had been suppressed for a long time. At this moment, he couldn't care less about order and cursed.
"Since you're still so stubborn." Magistrate Zhang's expression was also very bad at this time. He ordered the bailiffs at the side,"Summon the witness!"”
