"What are you doing?" Noticing that something was wrong, Ye Meng felt the abnormal restlessness around her. She noticed that all the girls around her were looking upstairs, so she also looked upstairs.
He Tang's blue and gorgeous eyes were right in front of her. Ye Meng suddenly remembered the painting she had found in the antique shop. She was also attracted by those eyes.
Speaking of the painting, Ye Meng suddenly remembered that she hadn't asked He Tang about his relationship with the person in the painting. However, she did not expect that she would run into a person in a painting by coincidence. If she were to ask now, not only would He Tang misunderstand, even Qi Lu would have to whisper in her ear for a long time.
Even though she had indeed taken a fancy to the painting by accident.
"Miss Ye, Constable Qi, you can come up from here.”Upstairs, He Tang didn't think too much about it. He just warmly greeted the two of them to go up quickly.
When she went upstairs, she noticed that He Tang was sitting at the table with three cups, milk, and sugar beside him.
Although he was puzzled, he didn't show it. He just pointed at the milk and candy and said with a smile,"Doctor He has a good memory."”
"Miss Ye specially instructed me, I will definitely remember it.”He Tang was still as refined as usual, looking like a cultured scholar.
However, he didn't have the scholarly sour air of an ordinary scholar, nor was he as weak as a scholar. Although He Tang's body also looked thin, it could be said that he was still a little inferior to Qi Lu.
However, perhaps it was because he had traveled all over the world before, so he did not look weak.
"Could it be that Xiao Bai…Doctor He knew that we would come today?”Qi Lu had already sat down at the table and was drinking a cup of black tea.
"No, I just suddenly had a premonition.”He Tang smiled as he watched him fiddle with the milk and candy on the table." Besides, I miss you both very much."”
"It's just that we haven't seen each other for a day. What's there to miss?”Qi Lu made himself a cup of tea and said disdainfully. He really couldn't understand a bookish person like He Tang. He couldn't understand why he wasn't tired of talking slowly and elegantly.
"Doctor He is just thinking about how our investigation is going.”Ye Meng snatched the teapot from his hand." You really think I'm thinking about you?"”
"It's the same." He Tang tried to smooth things over and revealed an ambiguous smile, which seemed to be both disappointed and glad.
"Alright, no matter what, I think we should get straight to the point.”Ye Meng didn't notice anything strange about the smile on his face. She just felt that she didn't come here just to drink tea. It wouldn't be too late to deal with things first.
There was still a long way to go.
"Miss Ye should be here for the case.”He Tang put down his teacup and smiled at her.
"That's right. I'm only here to analyze it with you.”Ye Meng answered. After all, a person's brain was limited, and it was very likely that she would miss something, just like the question Qi Lu asked earlier.
"Miss Ye, is there something you can't figure out?”He Tang asked and then expressed his stance." As long as Miss Ye doesn't mind, I'm willing to share your worries.”
"How could that be?" Ye Meng waved her hands. If she disliked him, she wouldn't have come to ask him. Besides, when they were looking for clues together, she had felt that He Tang was a meticulous and observant person. He was definitely a capable person. Moreover, no matter how bad he was, he would at least be much stronger than Qi Lu. As she thought about it, she did not forget to glance at Qi Lu.
The people at the side were still fiddling with the tea sets and did not notice that they had been ridiculed several times.
Then, the two of them didn't waste any more time. Ye Meng told them all her suspicious points, including the old servant's posture of holding a long broom and the agile and suspicious person she and Qi Lu saw at the back door of the bank.
"You mean there's something wrong with that old servant?”He Tang asked.
"I don't have much confidence either." Ye Meng answered honestly," Although I'm suspicious of him, there are many things that I can't match up to.”
" Then..." He Tang thought for a moment, and his slender fingers gently tapped on the table." By the way, have you thought of a possibility?"”
"Possibility?" Ye Meng was stunned. Her fingers unconsciously let go of the cup." You mean?"”
"I was wondering if that old servant wasn't really an old servant.”He Tang looked at her. In fact, he had felt that the old servant was a little strange before.
Although he could feel that the old servant was loyal to his old master, he was still a servant. Although the bank had been robbed, he still stayed here to sweep the floor. However, he noticed that there was not a single spot near the bank that was clean. It didn't seem like it was cleaned often.
In addition, the case had not been solved yet. The government should have sealed the entire bank. Why would this old servant come over to clean up? No matter what, he should wait until the government solved the case or withdrew the case. It was really puzzling.
"You mean someone is pretending?" Ye Meng was a little hesitant. Although it was indeed difficult to distinguish some people's disguises, the people nearby more or less recognized this old servant. If someone who had been here for so many years was suddenly replaced, there should be people who would suspect it.
"That's right." He Tang said," That's not impossible. However, if that's the case, it's very likely that this person has been lurking for a long time. Otherwise, it would be very easy for him to be discovered.”
"Alright then." After listening to his analysis, Ye Meng more or less felt that it made sense. However, the problem now was that they did not have any evidence. In other words, they were not sure if it was the old servant.
"Eh? Disguised as an old servant? This is too amazing." Qi Lu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly came over." I think that old servant is really quite ordinary. There are wrinkles on his face!" he asked curiously.”
"This is the art of disguise. I think the Central Plains should know it better than us.”He Tang said. After all, this disguising technique was more popular in the Jianghu of the Central Plains. He remembered that he was also very surprised when he first heard and came into contact with it.
Disguise. Ye Meng repeated the words in her heart. She had heard about it before, but she didn't expect the ancient disguise technique to really exist. If it was real, it would be amazing.
It was like modern plastic surgery.
However, she did not look at the old servant's face carefully at that time. In addition, the sky was a little dark at that time, so the old man's face was not particularly clear.
"So we still have to start investigating from the old servant?”Qi Lu asked.
"That's right." Both of them nodded to show that his answer was correct.
Then, the few of them began to discuss other issues. It was not until someone downstairs called He Tang in a hurry that the group stopped talking.
At this moment, a man dressed in gray clothes came upstairs and whispered a few words into He Tang's ear before leaving.
"What's the matter?" Ye Meng looked at his frowning face. He felt that He Tang's identity was not simple. It could be said that he was very mysterious.
"I'm fine." When He Tang heard her concern, he just waved his hand slightly and shook his head, saying that he was fine. He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows in an attempt to ease himself. Then, he opened his mouth again and said,"How about this? Let's continue our analysis."”
Ye Meng frowned slightly. There was some doubt in her eyes. She stood up and said," No need. I think we've finished our discussion. I won't disturb you anymore."”
He Tang looked at her and was stunned for a moment. Time seemed to have passed by a very long stage. After a long time, he nodded." Alright.”As she spoke, she stood up and walked in front of them to send them out. He did not try to persuade her to stay.
After leaving the clinic, Ye Meng and Qi Lu headed back to the street they had come from.
"Eh? So there's a bank here too." Qi Lu suddenly stopped in front of a bank and said.
"What's wrong?" Ye Meng looked in the direction Qi Lu was looking at and realized that it was a bank. There were a lot of people coming and going at the entrance, and there were also a lot of vendors setting up stalls nearby. This was a stark contrast to the cold and cheerless bank street where the murder happened a few days ago.
"Well, I don't have much cash left recently.”Qi Lu said awkwardly. He had also paid for Ye Meng's expenses and borrowed some money from her, so he did not have much money left.
"Then go quickly." Ye Meng did some calculations and realized that he had indeed spent quite a lot of money recently. His salary for this month had not been paid yet, so she nodded and told him to change it quickly.
The two of them turned around and entered the money house. Just as they were waiting for the shop assistant to count the items, a commotion came from the side.
"The beggars over there are also here to exchange for cash. That banknote was worth ten taels! Did you steal it?" The woman at the side muttered softly.
"What are you talking about? Don't bother about other people's business. Just take care of your own things.”The man beside the woman looked like her husband and scolded her.
Ye Meng followed their line of sight to see what kind of beggar was so rich. She saw a middle-aged beggar in ragged clothes holding a bamboo stick that was as tall as a person on one side of the counter.
The counter owner glanced at him. Although his eyes were filled with doubt, it was a customer's private matter after all. As a businessman, it was not convenient for him to ask so much.
She could only silently help him count the silver and hand it to him.
At this moment, Qi Lu had already changed his money and came over. He noticed that Ye Meng was staring at a beggar and waved his finger in front of her.
When the beggar took the money and was about to go out, the original counter owner suddenly sighed." Ah, so it's the bank notes from that bank. Speaking of which, everyone in the bank has been…sigh."”
Hearing the sensitive words, Ye Meng suddenly walked over to confirm it again." You said that the beggar just took the banknotes from the bank where the murder happened?"”
"That's right." Although the bank owner didn't know why she asked this, he still placed the banknote in front of her and pointed at the red mark on it." Look, this is the mark of their bank.”
"Qi Lu, stop him!" Hearing the bank owner's confirmation, she quickly asked Qi Lu to stop the beggar from before.
Qi Lu had already rushed over. Ye Meng quickly followed.
By the time she arrived, Qi Lu had already detained the person. The beggar did not know what he had done and was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud. He did not forget to put the silver he had just exchanged into his pocket, afraid that the two of them would snatch it away.
