"Qing'er, do you think you can find her out?" Cao Bamei asked quietly, standing next to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing smiled faintly and whispered in the same voice: "You will definitely not be able to find anything through this search."

"Ah?" Cao Bamei was surprised, her eyes filled with confusion.

Since we can't find it, isn't it a waste of time?

"If the thief is hiding among us, a search will reveal some clues." Yang Ruoqing continued.

Cao Bamei stopped asking and sat there patiently waiting for the result.

As for Yang Ruoqing, she also sat patiently, sometimes even squinting her eyes as if she was asleep, but the peripheral light from the corner of her eyes and the senses around her spread out countless times, covering everyone in the east room.

The micro-expressions and small movements of these people are all under her control.

Time passed little by little, and no results were delivered from the front yard to the back yard.

Lao Yangtou is a little better and can pass the time by smoking dry tobacco to relieve boredom.

Mrs. Tan, on the other hand, couldn't sit still and stretched out her neck like an old tortoise. From time to time, she would send Mr. Sun out to inquire, but every time she was stopped by the joint efforts of Lao Yangtou and Yang Ruoqing.

"Nai, I'm too impatient to eat hot tofu. If I want to get your precious wooden box back, you have to be patient and wait slowly." Yang Ruoqing said.

Mrs. Tan curled her lips, sat on the bed in frustration, and said angrily: "It's hard to guard against thieves day and night. If I really find out who stole my wooden box, I will have to chop off its claws and feed it."

dog!"

Yang Ruoqing also took advantage of the situation and said: "Yes, rather than being found out, it is better to stand up and admit it directly, admit your mistake, and the matter will be over. It will be really embarrassing if you find out later."

Ms. Liu quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, who is the thief? Hurry up and stand up. Isn't this wasting everyone's time?"

"By the way, Qing'er, when we go to search Xiaojuan's fox den next door later, you can't let your fourth uncle go. He has to avoid suspicion and let your father or Yong go in. The fox den must be searched first.

!" she said again.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "Fourth Aunt's suggestion is a good one. Those who should avoid suspicion should avoid suspicion. Then, Fourth Aunt, who are you going to let go when your house is searched later?"

Mrs. Liu straightened her back: "I won't panic if anyone goes, and I won't panic if it turns upside down!"

The front yard was searched, but no results were found.

There was a trace of doubt on Lao Yangtou's face. Could it be that his suspicion was in the wrong direction?

Are there really no insiders in the Lao Yang family who are thieves, but outsiders?

Tan's anxious voice interrupted Lao Yangtou's thoughts: "Then look for these rooms in the backyard, and He'er's rooms must be checked carefully! If you dare to stretch your dirty hands into the east room in the clear sky, you must not

Got it!"

Old Yangtou felt relieved, put down the tobacco pole and stood up.

"Qing'er, come over and help us search together!" As he walked towards the door, he called Yang Ruoqing's name.

Yang Ruoqing got up and went to the yard outside the east room, and briefly divided the area with Yang Huazhong and the other three. Yang Huazhong went to Xiaojuan's house, Yang Huaming and Lao Yangtou went to He'er's house together, and Yang Ruoqing went to He'er's house.

Together with Yang Yongjin, we entered the west room where the Liu family was.

On the way to the west room, Yang Ruoqing clearly felt that there was a line of sight following her behind her.

She then turned her head and followed the line of sight, and saw a figure flashing past behind the window of the east room.

Although it flashed by very fast, Yang Ruoqing saw the corner of the clothes, it was the fourth aunt Liu.

Doesn’t it mean that you won’t panic even if you turn everything upside down?

Why can't you calm down now?

With a mocking arc on her lips, Yang Ruoqing withdrew her gaze and slowly followed Yang Yongjin to the door of the west room.

"Aunt Fourth, this house is really messy. It's as messy as a pig's nest. I don't even know where to start." Yang Yongjin and Yang Ruoqing said while standing on the ground in the middle of the house.

Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead, "I finally understand why my fourth uncle doesn't want to sleep in this room."

Yang Yongjin has black streaks all over his head. He is a man. If he were to be with such a woman, he would rather sleep in a woodshed.

"Let's search like this!" Yang Yongjin said, rolling up his sleeves and looking like he was ready to go all out.

Yang Ruoqing clasped her hands on her chest and walked leisurely in the room, scanning every inch of the room.

From the placement of these objects, the tea bowls on the table, the brooms and dustpans lying around in the corners, I can deduce in my mind the scenes at that time, such as Mr. Liu drinking tea and then cracking melon seeds, with melon seed shells flying everywhere.

, she picked up the broom and was cleaning it, but accidentally hit the stool next to her...

Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming have searched all other houses, but still found nothing.

At this time, except for Yang Ruoqing and Yang Yongjin who were still in the west room, everyone else had returned to the east room.

The atmosphere in the east room was a bit gloomy and depressing, and the last hope fell on the west room.

After a while, Yang Ruoqing and Yang Yongjin came in.

"How's it going? Have you found the wooden box?" Tan asked impatiently.

Yang Yongjin shook his head, "Not found."

The corners of Mrs. Liu's lips curled up, "Yongjin, Qing'er, since I'm not in my house, why did you stay in my house for so long? The longer you stay in my house, the more suspicious others will be of me.

I almost waded into this muddy water!"

Yang Ruoqingyun said calmly: "The main reason is that Fourth Aunt, your house is too messy, which seriously hindered our search process."

Cao Bamei covered her mouth and snickered, suddenly realizing that this kind of situation was not suitable for laughing, she quickly stopped, sat down properly, looked at her eyes, nose and heart.

Old Yangtou's expression was very ugly, and his displeased gaze swept over everyone in the room: "No one admitted it, and I can't find it anymore. This is funny. Is it possible that I still need to report it to the official?"

Tan immediately said: "Report, report, report, must report, the wooden box contains our old coffin book!"

Yang Huazhong and everyone else looked at each other in shock. If the matter were reported to the official, the matter would become even bigger and become a scandal of the old Yang family. If an outsider committed the crime, it would be very difficult for the official to come to investigate the case.

If it is found out that it was done by one of my own family members...

Yang Huazhong gritted his teeth and said: "Although if the official reported that this matter would cause a bigger fuss, my mother also said that this is the coffin book for my parents. Although we, as children, can still collect the money to replenish the coffins for our parents.

, but the matter itself is very bad."

"If this kind of moth hiding in the dark is not uncovered, similar things will happen in the future. So, if my parents want to report it to the official, I have no objection!"

Yang Huaming also said: "I have no objection. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. I am open-minded."

Mrs. Liu's eyes showed a hint of panic...
