Wanbao Lady

Chapter 271 Guess

After orally explaining the details to the Law Enforcement Hall of Qianhua Sect, Taoist Yueban returned to his own courtyard to recuperate with the help of a boy.

Looking at the white cloth wrapped around his arm, he thought about this and that, recalling the scenes of yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, in order to get to know the Queen Mother of Yudu Mountain, he specially stuffed a gift into the little messenger named Xia Li and asked him to pass it on to the Queen Mother.

Afterwards, he brought the boy back to the courtyard, took off the precious clothes, put them in the box, and then sat in meditation peacefully.

Never left.

It was not until the evening that the boy reported that a disciple from Yudu Mountain came to return a gift, and he had to leave.

Wait! Could it be this time?

He suddenly remembered that the little girl said last night that she saw a black cat entering his yard and asked him to look for it specifically.

When it failed the first time, he was asked to look for it twice.

Now that I think about it, the little girl clearly knew something and her behavior was very intriguing.

Later, even people from Qianhua Gate came and said that someone saw an unidentified person entering his courtyard and specifically reminded him.

Although he checked later and found the precious clothes in the box were intact, who knows if the precious clothes had been replaced long ago!

Just then, a boy came into the room carrying tea, interrupting his thoughts.

"Master, this is a calming tea, please try it."

"Hmm." Taoist Yueban took the teacup with his other intact hand and took a sip.

After swallowing the tea, he looked at the tea leaves floating quietly in the cup and said to himself, "That little girl last night, now that I think about it, her behavior was a little strange!"

The boy bowed his head quietly, and after hearing this, he said, "Master, that person came to return the gift last night, but he insisted that something had entered our courtyard, and today this happened. How could it be such a coincidence!"

Taoist Yueban nodded, "I thought so too. There must have been a thief who broke into our place at that time, and was seen by that girl by chance!"

Now that he thought about it, there was no such thing as a black cat. It was clearly a roundabout way of reminding him!

He began to make bold guesses in his mind.

Could it be that the little girl last night was an accomplice?

Deliberately call him out under the pretext of returning the gift, and then let the thief switch the gifts inside?

No, no, no, it shouldn't be her. After all, if she was really an accomplice, she wouldn't have deliberately beaten around the bush to remind him that a thief had entered the yard, but instead had been talking to him and wasting time.

Taoist Yueban sighed deeply, "Alas, I just regret that the thief is so good at hiding. I checked twice with my spiritual sense and couldn't find him! But, who is he?"

As he spoke, figures flashed through his mind.

Oh, right! Wuyun Pavilion!

Wuyun Pavilion has always been famous in Qingzhou for its miraculous moving methods, and it can often take away an item without anyone noticing.

To put it bluntly, he is a thief in the world of cultivation!

Although they always claim that gentlemen love money and get it in a proper way, there is no guarantee that they might have set their eyes on their precious clothes and then do such a stealing thing!

Besides, Wuyun Pavilion does have the ability to make the fake look real, so it might be them!

Thinking of this, Yueban Taoist's face suddenly turned as dark as water. He stood up and walked out of the room angrily.

-

At this moment.

An unexpected guest came to the small courtyard on the cliff. It was Ge Wunian, the leader of Qianhua Sect.

Everyone thought that after what happened today, the people who would come would be investigators from Qianhua Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall, but they didn’t expect that it would be the old sect master himself who came!

In the living room.

Chongfan and Ge Wunian sat facing each other.

After a few pleasantries, Ge Wunian got straight to the point, bowed and said:

"Thank you for your reminder today, but it's a pity that something like this still happened. Alas, I am ashamed to say this."

Who could have thought that the thief did not steal the clothes, nor did he do anything else, but instead switched the precious clothes by mixing the fake with the real ones!

Just this one action almost resulted in a fatal accident!

Hearing this, Chongfan comforted him, "Master Ge, don't blame yourself. The thief was cunning and the incident happened suddenly. Fortunately, the Taoist's life was not harmed. For now, we should find the mastermind as soon as possible."

Ge Wunian nodded, "This is exactly why I came here."

As he spoke, he took out the photo stone and said, "I have read the contents here countless times, but unfortunately I have not seen the appearance of the thief. According to you, who is this person?"

However, the person on the opposite side also shook his head.

Seeing this, Ge Wunian said, "I heard that the memories here were seen by your disciple. May I ask you about it?"

Chongfan nodded, "Of course."

Ge Wunian immediately looked at Qin Lingshan, asked her in detail, and learned more details.

Seeing this, Chongfan said in a gentle voice, "Yesterday, Taoist Yueban went out for a gift-returning event. Could it be that he lost his precious robe at that time?"

Sect Master Ge nodded, "That's right. According to him, he went back to his room after that and never left. And his precious clothes have been kept in the room since the treasure appreciation yesterday. Even this morning, when my disciples went to his courtyard to remind him, he put on the precious clothes before leaving the room."

So, the precious clothes were lost when the other party went out last night!

Just at this time, a disciple of Qianhua Sect came to report that Taoist Yan Yueban wanted to see the Sect Master, so Ge ​​Wunian had no choice but to bow and say goodbye.

"If you have any clues, please let me know immediately."

"As it should be."

This incident is neither big nor small.

Chongfan could also understand Ge Wunian's anxious mood.

After all, this happened on their own territory and at a grand event hosted by them. If the murderer cannot be caught as soon as possible, they will definitely be ridiculed by all the monks in the world.

After everyone left, everyone in the yard gathered together and started discussing.

After much discussion, everyone grasped four key points.

First, about clothing.

The fake clothes are so real that either the person behind the scenes is very familiar with the precious clothes and made fake clothes in advance, or they have a very powerful fake replacement technique that can quickly make the fake clothes look real.

As for the former, no one knew who else was involved except Taoist Yueban and the weapon refiner who personally refined the precious robe.

But as for the latter, there are two forces present, one is Wuyun Pavilion, and the other is Miaogong Sanren.

Second, about the matter of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

The mastermind behind this is definitely not the Feihong Sect. After all, no one would be so stupid as to be in such a public place. They must have been used as a gun.

This shows that the person behind the scenes is very familiar with the confrontation between Feihong Sect and Yueban Taoist. It is said that in the last session, the session before that, and the session before that, Yueban Taoist always used the treasured robe to fight against the Blood Rainbow Scissors of Feihong Sect.

But there are many people who know about this, and there is no special person.

Third, about the thief who stole the treasure.

After Qin Lingshan saw the other person out of the corner of her eye, she immediately knocked on Yueban Taoist's door, so the thief should still be in the yard at that time.

Later, the thief took advantage of Qin Lingshan returning the gift to Yueban Taoist and entered the house to replace the precious clothes.

But later, at Qin Lingshan's reminder, Taoist Yueban used his spiritual sense to scan the room but did not find anything unusual. What's more, after Qin Lingshan left, Taoist Yueban went straight back into the house and never went out again.

This shows that in less than two minutes of the conversation between the two, the thief succeeded and hid, and even went out of the yard through a side door.

Therefore, this thief was either very familiar with the location where Yueban Taoist hid his treasure and went straight to the source.

Or, he is very proficient in the art of stealing.

And they have powerful concealment methods, such as shapeshifting, escape techniques, etc.
