Yang Qiuchi replied for them: "It's a burly man who exchanges the God of Wealth. He uses the hollow God of Wealth to fill the belly of the God of Wealth, and then he transported it away in a cart, right?"

The two guards were stunned and almost doubted whether Yang Qiuchi had been hiding beside him and saw him secretly. He nodded repeatedly and said yes.

"What to change the God of Wealth?" Kang Huai asked in surprise, "Why don't I know?"

Yang Qiuchi pointed to the statue of the God of Wealth in the middle of the warehouse: "This statue of the God of Wealth has a scent of paint. Didn't Lord Kang notice it?"

Kang Huai walked to the God of Wealth to smell it, looked again, and returned and said, "That's right, what's going on?" He kicked the guard and shouted, "You two dog thieves aren't talking about it!"

"I said, I said," the guard who had injured his palm kowtowed, looked at the other guard, and said, "We two are good at betting. We owe a lot of money to carpenter Dongchenghua. He asked us to pay it back, otherwise we would kill us. We had no money to pay it back and could not beat him, so he forced us to agree to steal the silver treasury."

"He asked us to disguise ourselves as being stolen by outsiders and could escape the investigation, saying that we would give each of us 100 taels of silver afterwards. We were forced to do nothing and were also obsessed with money, so we agreed."

"He gave us the excuse that the God of Wealth in the warehouse was too old and asked him to customize one. Then he took the opportunity to send the new God of Wealth in and took the old God of Wealth away. The big God of Wealth he sent was hollow. After we filled it with silver, we asked us to make an excuse that the God of Wealth was not good and asked him to do it again. Then he used this as an excuse to go into the warehouse of the yamen to exchange the God of Wealth, so that the God of Wealth in front was away. He said that when this matter was stable, he would give us 200 taels of silver to the land he promised."

Yang Qiuchi hurriedly asked: "When did he leave the yamen?"

"He came in the evening when he was lighting up, and it was already dark when he left."

"Why have to wait until it's dark before leaving?"

"During the day, the gate of the yamen is open, and the search is very strict when entering and exiting. After closing at night, the small door will be opened, and the search is not so strict."

Yang Qiuchi turned around and asked Kang Huai: "When the yamen gate was closed, was the city gate closed?"

Kang Huai said: "The gate of the yamen is closed the same as the gate of the city, and it should be closed." He suddenly showed joy when he said this. "Mr. Yang means that the gate of the thief was closed when he left the yamen. And that night, after I found out that the money was lost, I immediately arranged to strengthen the inspection of the city gate. Should the thief have not escaped from Kunming City?"

"That's right!" Yang Qiuchi said.

In ancient times, this was a good thing. To leave the city, you could only walk through four gates. If you find something, you could catch a turtle in a jar. Last time, the Yin family ll case caught the butler Hu San. It was not possible in modern society, with convenient transportation, and convenient connections. You can open everywhere.

Kang Huai was overjoyed and turned around and shouted, "Come on, hurry up. Go and arrest Carpenter Hua, no. I want to go in person. Lord Yang invites you to rest in the living room. I will catch this thief and come back to thank you!"

Yang Qiuchi said, "Let's do it like this, Lord Kang, you are busy first. Taking advantage of this skill, I will go back and bring the prisoner and handle the handover with you so that you can send the local officials of Yingtianfu to return."

"Okay, I'll host a banquet in the yamen tonight to entertain Lord Yang. I'll leave first!" Kang Huai walked away.

"Wait first!" Yang Qiuchi shouted, "Sir, you should lead more constables, this thief may have great martial arts."

"Good place!" Kang Huai said, instructing the warehouse door to lock, arrest the two guards, bow to Yang Qiuchi, and then rushed away quickly.

Song Yuner asked, "Brother, how do you know that this thief has great martial arts skills? How is that thief's martial arts skills better than me?"

"Kung Fu is not as good as you in other ways!" Yang Qiuchi blinked at Song Yun'er.

When Song Yuner heard Yang Qiuchi praise her, she felt happy, and then asked strangely: "What else? What else can he be as good as me?"

Yang Qiuchi pointed to his cheek and giggled.

"Okay! You dare to say that I'm thick-skinned, hum!" Song Yuner looked angrily.

"How dare I, Miss!" Yang Qiuchi smiled and pointed to his head, "I mean his head is not as bright as yours!"

Song Yuner knew that he was deliberately teasing her, so she hit him gently and said, "How did you know that this man is very skilled in martial arts?"

"Let's chat as you walk," said Yang Qiuchi, stepping out: "Have you observed the God of Wealth on the wall carefully?"

"Well, I looked carefully. It was done well and the skills were also very good." Song Yuner tilted her head and thought.

"I didn't ask you this, did you notice what material is made of the God of Wealth?"

"Ah wood."

"How much is it probably?"

Song Yuner thought about it again: "I guess it should be fifty or sixty kilograms."

"What if it's full of silver in it?" Yang Qiuchi squinted her.

"That's heavy..." As soon as she said this, Song Yuner immediately reacted: "Brother, you mean that this person can pick up such a heavy thing. It's not possible without martial arts, right?"

The reason is very simple. If you lose more than 2,000 taels of silver in the treasury, and with the weight of the God of Wealth, it is difficult for ordinary people to carry such heavy things. This person has a very strong arm strength, so he is likely to possess martial arts.

"By the way," Yang Qiuchi nodded and said again: "But it is very likely that they will lose this time."

"Why?"

"It's been almost half a month, and the four-door check is so strict. This person has so much money hidden in him. If he is smart, he should be transferred immediately. He won't be stupid enough to wait there."

"What should I do?" Song Yuner said anxiously. She also sympathized with Lord Kang Huaikang. He had done her brother so much. I really hope that this time my brother could help him get the money back.

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "Precisely because this thief may have escaped, we have to go back first."

"What are you doing when you go back?" As soon as she asked this, Song Yuner immediately guessed: "Hold the little black dog and follow me!"

Yang Qiuchi sighed: "Yun'er is really smarter and smarter. In a few days, she may be better than me."

Song Yuner was very proud: "Then let's go quickly and take the little black dog back to the yamen to wait for them."

Yang Qiuchi and others returned to the inn, brought Mrs. Bai and her daughter, as well as all the guards, and all the men to the yamen of the Censorate.

The concierge already knew that the man in front of him was Lord Kang's distinguished guest and was generous. Now, seeing that he had brought a large group of people back, he quickly led them to the living room and served incense tea.

After drinking tea for a while, Kang Huai came back with the constables. Seeing Yang Qiuchi, he shook his head: "The thief has run away. He found the old statue of the God of Wealth and the new statue of the God of Wealth that was exchanged for. The new statue of the God of Wealth is indeed empty. I have arranged to search everywhere. I just don't know if he has slipped out of the city. If he slipped out, he can only take a picture and chase it." Speaking of this, Kang Huai looked bleak, "At that time, even if the thief was caught, I'm afraid the kuyin would be gone."

"It should have been a bit unsnuck. When I entered the city today, I found that the city gate was very strict. The more than 2,000 taels of silver were not needles. It was difficult for the thief to hide and get out of the city, so it should be still in the city." After thinking about it, Yang Qiuchi said again, "Don't worry, Lord Kang, let's do this, we will help you catch it!"

"Really?" Kang Huai rekindled hope in his heart after hearing this. He thought to himself that Yang Qiuchi discovered the thief in this case at a glance and immediately discovered the whereabouts of the thief. He is such a good skill. Since he asked for help, he would probably be able to catch it.

"Take us to the thief's residence." Yang Qiuchi didn't say much nonsense.

Kang Huai was overjoyed and arranged for the servant to take Mrs. Bai and her daughter to the living room of the yamen to wait, and then took Yang Qiuchi and others to the thief's residence with the constables.

Yang Qiuchi opened the door and looked around and felt a little cold. Although the arrestees had already turned upside down in the room, the residual water in the iron pot in the kitchen had a stinking smell and began to rust, and there was also a light layer of dust on the stove, which must have not been used for several days.

It seems that the thief may have left his residence that night after receiving the money. It has been more than ten days since then, and the smell left has disappeared. There is no way to track it with the little black dog. What should I do?

I can only see if there are any clues in the room, but the things in the room were messed up by the detectives, and their footprints were messed up. How can I find clues?

Yang Qiuchi stood in the room, staring at the messy things in a daze.

Kang Huai and others did not dare to disturb him, and stood behind him and waited for his inspiration to flash.

Yang Qiuchi said, "Call Li Zheng."

Li Zheng was brought soon. He was an old man.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Do you know this thief here? Tell me about his situation."

When the Criminal Inspector led the constable to arrest the man, he was in the scene. He knew that the person who lived here was probably the thief who stole the Criminal Inspector's Bank of China half a month ago. He was in charge of this area, which was equivalent to the current director of the street office. He was afraid of being implicated. He was already worried that he would be sweating.

Hearing the adult question, he quickly replied respectfully: "I know you, your name is Huagang. I just came to our place. I heard that the accent seems to be from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area, so I don't understand it very much. He rented this house. He used to help people do some coolies and later did carpenters."

"Is anyone involved with him?"

"No," Li Zheng curled his lips, "He is a very bad person, he doesn't understand his words, has a bad temper, so no one has ever interacted with him."

"Does he have no relatives?" Yang Qiuchi asked.
