Chapter 165: Jianghu Dispute, the Chief is Not Obedient 9
From the information they knew, the whereabouts of the flower thief were indeed groundless. Some of the cases occurred in remote suburbs, and some occurred in broad daylight in the downtown area. He really committed the crimes at random. As time passed, they not only made no progress, but also became more tired because of the daily tension.
"This is not a solution. We should take the initiative to lure the thief out." Li Youan's face looked a little better than before. Not having a case happen is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
"But even so, no one knows where this person is hiding, and no one knows what he looks like. If we fail to attract him here, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
Yu Shuxuan, who arrived two days ago, held a folding fan and patted it on his left hand, looking very scholarly. "And as for the bait..." At this point, he stopped talking and glanced at the women in the room. Even the open-minded people of the world would not care about such things.
"I'm willing to be the bait!" Shangguan Qing was the first to stand up. She looked straight at Li Youan and seemed a little excited and fearless.
"No!" Shangguan Qing had just finished speaking when a man and a woman loudly objected.
"Qing'er, although you are good at martial arts, you have little experience in the martial arts world. Besides, this villain is full of tricks. If something unexpected happens..." Li Youan's tone was a little impatient. "No, I don't agree!"
"That's right, why don't we find a man with a smaller figure and dress him up as a woman? Why do we have to put ourselves in danger?" Xu Qingluo was more anxious than anyone else. She walked over and grabbed Shangguan Qing's sleeve and pulled it tightly.
"I'm afraid this method won't work." Yu Shuxuan said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. For a rapist who has been dealing with women for years, his eyes are sharp.
"It's okay. I'm willing to do it." Shangguan Qing proposed again.
"But……"
"Brother Li, you don't need to persuade me. I have made up my mind." Shangguan Qing interrupted him and said in a casual tone: "And you will protect me well, right?"
"Qing'er, don't worry, I will protect you with my life!"
Qin Shuangjiang, who had been standing at the door watching silently, pursed her lips and finally chose not to go in. "Where is Leng Nuan?" She asked as she walked a little further away.
"Master, I haven't seen Miss Leng." Xing Zhou, who was following behind, answered respectfully.
Where did this person go again?
So, it turned out that her guess was correct. In the morning, when she had just finished washing up and was about to meet up with Qin Shuangjiang and the others, the scene changed just as her front foot stepped out of the door and her back foot hadn't even touched the ground.
Leng Nuan looked at herself holding the wooden basin in her left hand and a handful of rice in her right hand, sighed and decided to continue feeding the chickens.
She had been in Luan'an City for about two days, and here it was exactly the same as when she left. The time in this range was not synchronized with the outside world. Could this be the reason why the supporting characters in novels and TV shows have not changed at all for more than ten or twenty years and are still exactly the same as when they were young? Leng Nuan pondered deeply.
"Host?" A.K0527, who had just finished feeding lunch and coaxing the child to sleep, floated over.
"You noticed it too." Leng Nuan put the empty wooden basin back to its original place and scooped a spoonful of water from the bucket on the ground to wash his hands.
"Hmm~~~" System Meow crossed his arms and frowned. From the data, there didn't seem to be anything strange. "Host, please stay here first. I'll go to the periphery for inspection." After saying that, A.K0527 disappeared.
"Actually, I have a rough idea of what's going on." Leng Nuan muttered to herself. But she had to do it again to be sure.
I took a nap at noon, practiced boxing and martial arts with my fellow junior brothers and sisters in the afternoon, repaired the roof in the evening while the weather was fine, and did some cultural classes with my fellow junior brothers in the evening. It was a busy and fulfilling day.
Leng Nuan lay on the bed, covered with a quilt, blinking her energetic eyes and looking at the bedroom with the moonlight coming in from the window. Then she lifted the quilt and looked at herself with satisfaction after getting dressed. Only then did she close her eyes and prepare to go to sleep.
No! It's too bright! Leng Nuan opened her eyes less than two minutes after closing them. The scene in front of her was exactly as she had imagined. She was transferred to Luan'an City again, and the location was still her guest room in Xu's house.
When she was teleported back to Xuanfeng Gate, she remained the same. She was the same when she came back as she was before she left. Time did not flow and change.
Leng Nuan looked around the room and then out the window. It was already noon outside, not the morning when she left, which meant that there was no time limit near the main character. If her guess was correct, that person should be nearby.
"Where have you been after disappearing for a whole day?" Qin Shuangjiang, who was wondering whether Leng Nuan had returned, met her halfway before she even reached the guest room.
"Well, there's something going on." Leng Nuan simply responded and changed the subject. "How is it going now?"
The two walked out side by side. Qin Shuangjiang didn't ask Leng Nuan why she disappeared without a word. She roughly informed them of the current situation and their decision.
"There will be a busy flower market in Luan'an City tonight. We guess that the thief will take action."
"Yeah." Leng Nuan seemed to be walking seriously, but in fact he was always stealing glances at the woman beside him. When Qin Shuangjiang looked over, he quickly turned his eyes away.
Although she has not yet found the cause and pattern of the incident, she can confirm one thing. She was able to escape the setting and act outside the main plot because of the people around her~
In other words – she could summon her.
"So this is what night markets were like in ancient times~" At night, A.K0527 followed Leng Nuan, who was patrolling the rooftop in a black robe, and marveled at the creativity of mankind.
The lights are bright, people are coming and going, the scene is prosperous and beautiful. When clusters of sparks fly into the sky, they burst into gorgeous flowers, adding smiles to the faces of the onlookers.
Yu Shuxuan, dressed in white, looked warm and careful in protecting the beauty beside him. The two of them whispered intimately, and to outsiders, they looked like a loving newlywed couple. During the inspection, Leng Nuan accidentally saw Li Youan sitting in the restaurant. He stared at the two people on the street carefully with a complicated expression.
In addition to them, in the bustling crowd, a person wearing brightly colored clothes and a rabbit mask followed them with unusually brisk steps, avoiding the crowd.
