crush the rich

The officer's attitude looked like a gesture of favor.

But Yue Ke did not let down her vigilance so easily.

She maintained her persona very carefully, and said to the officer, "Hey, you seem to be quite reasonable." Although she said so, her tone was quite frivolous, making it impossible to tell whether she was sincere Still mocking.

The officer said: "For a writer like Mr. Yue, this should be done."

Saying this, he also carefully observed Yue Ke's reaction.

The officer's words are true. Although Xia Guo's cultural industry at this time is not as prosperous as that of later generations, respect for literati is a long-standing tradition.Moreover, with the changes in the trend of thought in recent years, female gentlemen like Yue Ke have been highly sought after and regarded as a model of women in the new era.

But whether it is a traditional writer or a new female gentleman like Yue Ke, if they can not offend, even the warlords will try not to offend them.Even the Qingzhou Army, which has always been known for its brutality, has shown a relatively cautious attitude in this matter-although it is contemptible for them to try to bribe and threaten the captured writers to write white papers for the boss of the Qingzhou Army, but From the fact that they were scolded bloody but did not dare to execute each other directly, we knew that even the murderous Qingzhou Army still estimated this group of literati with pens like knives and countless followers behind them.

You know, they had a sensational record of massacring 11 people before.

This is true of the Qingzhou Army, not to mention the Marquis of Jinzhou who still cherishes his feathers.It's fine if it's an ordinary person, even if something happens, there's nothing they can do.But Yue Ke is very different - if she has resentment in her heart, once she writes, the whole country will know.

Even if she is killed, if people find out, many people will write for her.

Of course, this is under the condition that Yue Ke has nothing to do with the group of people who assassinated Li Shiyi.If it really mattered, the Jinzhou Army wouldn't care if she was a well-known writer or not.

The officer watched her closely and compared it with the characteristics previously described by her superiors.

"Two women, both estimated to be in their 20s, one with a handsome appearance, the other with a veiled hood, and severe burns on their faces. It is not certain whether they are related to the attacker, but the disfigured one has extraordinary skills and has hands. There are small firearms that look very special, the power is uncertain, just look at the structure and material, it is quite unusual. It is okay to spend more time, we must find them."

Perhaps because of the different focus, his boss did not mention the information that Yin Lian claimed to be Yue Ke's boss when he introduced himself, and Yue Ke was her guest author—perhaps because he thought that what Yin Lian said was not relevant. It's not credible, or it's just because of different ways of thinking that the grasping point is different. In short, the officer doesn't know this.

This has led to the current military officers comparing intelligence and only getting very little matching information.

[The normal-looking one is related to the child as an aunt and nephew. He looks like an ordinary person, and his skills are not surprising. Looking at the plain dress, he seems to be just the daughter of an ordinary family.The one wearing the veiled hat looks more like a female student, but her skills are very strong, so the student's attire can only be used as a reference. It is more likely that she will pretend to be a student to hide her eyes. 】

Because basically all the information given was wrong, so in a sense, it misled the judgment of the search officer.

From the officer's point of view, Yue Ke had almost no similarities with the subject to be searched except for their gender and age.

First of all, she dresses gorgeously, and lives in a huge villa, and she is a well-known author who is extremely sought after, so her family background is not suitable.Secondly, her manner of speaking is quite aggressive, with a sense of oppression of a high-ranking person, which is not very similar to the temperament of the target.

The officer has basically excluded Yue Ke from the suspicion list.

As a result, at this moment, a shout suddenly came from the room, shouting: "Report to the officer, an entrance to an attic has been found."

Yue Ke's heart skipped a beat.

The officer glanced at Yue Ke, but didn't see any change in her expression, so he said, "Just do a simple search, don't mess with the things in Mr. Yue's house."

Yue Ke's heart was about to pop out of his chest, but he still had to pretend to be calm, so as not to be discovered by others.

The soldier said, "It's a bit troublesome."

The attic was locked, and no one was found.If it's normal, it's fine, just violently destroy the skylight door, and then move a cabinet up to search.But since the officer told him not to damage Yue Ke's house, the soldiers would inevitably feel embarrassed.

The officer looked at Yue Ke and said, "Mr. Yue, please cooperate."

Yue Ke stood up, her mind spinning quickly, and she came up with some countermeasures, so she said to the officer, "All right. Do I have any other options?"

Her obvious and undisguised displeasure dispelled most of the officer's doubts.

She said, "The attic has not been opened for a long time... It may not be possible to find the key."

Even so, she led the way into the back room.

When she entered the room, although she didn't turn her head, she paid special attention to the people behind her. When she saw the two soldiers following, she immediately felt relieved.

Yue Ke rummaged through a large pile of spare keys, deliberately delayed for a while, before picking out three sets of keys with the same style, and said, "I remember it should be this one."

The officer stared at Yue Ke's hand, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Yue, why are your hands shaking so much?"

Although Yue Ke has tried her best to cover it up, she is only a young girl in her twenties after all. Faced with such a potentially life-threatening situation, even if her will is strong, her physical instincts will inevitably show timidity.

She also knew this, so she was a little bit prepared, so she said: "Sir, I have a bad temper, and I have lived to such an age, this is the first time I have encountered someone raiding my house, I may not be able to control my emotions, please bear with me. "

Her tone was cold, and she turned her fear into anger, which made the officer a little embarrassed.

He said: "I am also a routine. Besides, this is not a house raid, Mr. Yue, don't think too much. If Mr. Yue has the opportunity to come to Jinzhou in the future, or if Lord Hou comes to Lucheng, maybe he will invite Mr. Yue as a guest , when the time comes, please ask Mr. Yue to show you his face."

Yue Ke said: "I'm sorry, I'm not sociable, and I don't like to attend any banquets. I might disappoint the officer."

Her tone was also in line with the character design and the attitude of many literati towards warlords, and the military officer did not continue to persuade her—after all, even if a female author is famous now, she is still a bit inferior to traditional literary leaders.

He didn't want to offend, but he didn't really mean to win him over.

After taking the key, some soldiers went to the attic door to try one by one.Yue Ke's villa was actually specially built by her parents when she was young.Because the year is not very old, the inside and outside of the house are all new-style structures, and the chains are also typical new-style locks.

Yue Ke was staring at the person trying the lock right now, hoping that Yin Lian would buy enough time to respond when he heard the noise outside.

The time to try the lock was a little shorter than Yue Ke expected. Obviously, the soldiers are quite professional in this kind of thing.When the attic door was pushed open, Yue Ke's heart seemed to be hanging in the empty and dark attic... Then she found that after the soldiers poked their heads into the attic and looked around, there was nothing unusual reaction.

A glimmer of hope inevitably floated in Yue Ke's heart.

But I saw the soldier enter the attic with the help of his companions, and then began to check in the attic.

There is actually a small light-transmitting skylight on the roof of the attic, which is about large enough for men who are not very strong to come in and out.The soldier reported this, and then checked the skylight: "However, there is a thick layer of dust on the tiles, and there are no handprints or footprints. No one should have entered or exited."

Then I checked the books and cabinets around, as well as some sundries covered by the oilcloth, but found nothing unusual.

So far, the whole house has been searched.The other party exchanged a few more pleasantries with Yue Ke, and then bid farewell.

After Yue Ke closed the door, she didn't go to check the attic right away, but went to the window of the study, picked up a book and pretended to read it, but in fact, she peeped out of the corner of her eye at the scene from the garden leading to the front door. The officer looked in through the window nonchalantly.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that everyone had left through the front door that Yue Ke put down the book, stretched, and then walked towards the attic.

□□ was dragged into the attic through the skylight a long time ago, and with Yue Ke's ability, it is unlikely to climb into the attic with bare hands.

She just stood under the attic door and whispered like a thief: "Erya! Erya! Are you there?"

Yin Lian replied: "Yes!"

Then he put down a cockroach, but he didn't climb down the cockroach, but jumped down directly.

That skill is much more agile than the officer and his subordinates.

Seeing her appearing safely, Yue Ke breathed a sigh of relief, but she was a little curious and asked, "Where did you hide? Why didn't they see you?"

Yin Lian replied: "I climbed onto the roof."

Leaving aside why she climbed up to the roof without making the slightest sound, Yue Ke has seen her skills before, and feels that Yin Lian can indeed do this.

But the soldier checked the skylight and found that the dust covering the tiles outside the window spread naturally, leaving no trace of human activity.Dust is lighter than sand and snow and leaves traces more easily.Yue Ke was very puzzled how she did it.

Yin Lian laughed and said, "People have mental inertia. If they check not the bottom of the window, but the wooden strips and tiles above the window, I might be exposed."

Yue Ke suddenly realized.
