Although Hua Manlou couldn't see, he was very familiar with the Hua family where he lived since childhood.

So he walked, frowning.

Lu Xiaofeng was in front of him and Hua's second brother, that is, Hua Manque, talked about business and had a good relationship with each other.

Qinglong and Xuanwu walked quietly at the end, if not for the sound of footsteps, even Hua Manlou almost didn't notice them.

As for Ximen Chuuxue, he has never been interested in this kind of process of finding the truth, so he naturally didn't follow him.

In fact, even if the Hua family was stolen, Ximen Chuuxue would probably not care.

According to the Ximen Chuuxue in Huamanlou's memory, the Ximen Chuuxue who would leave Wanmei Villa only once a year to track down the villain and do justice for the sky, it is impossible to get involved in the theft of Hua's family.

The only reason Huamanlou can think of for keeping Ximen Chuuxue at Hua's house is Ximen Lanxing who is currently walking by his side.

Ximen Lanxing didn't say much all the way, just followed behind Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manque, looking around while walking.

To say that he is paying attention to his surroundings is to say that he is just skimming everything around him.

Let's say he doesn't care at all, but he can find that his eyes will stay a little longer for certain places.

Naturally, Huamanlou couldn't see Ximen Lanxing's reactions, but he could hear from the rhythm of Ximen Lanxing's steps that there were things that made Ximen Lanxing pause and pay attention to things along the way.

"Second Young Master, what did you find?"

Hua Manque, who was walking in the front, stopped and asked Ximen Lanxing, who was a few steps behind.

Ximen Lanxing raised her eyebrows, "What I discovered should be the same reason why Hua Manlou frowned, but I don't know if you would like to talk about it, Second Brother Hua."

Lu Xiaofeng who stopped along with him was stunned when he heard this.

This means that there is a clue that Ximen Lanxing found out, and Hua Manlou also found out, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't notice it?

It shouldn't be.

Hua Manque smiled and did not speak, and continued to make a gesture of 'please', so that everyone followed him to the warehouse where Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Lanxing had been watching for a long time last night.

As soon as he entered the storeroom, Hua Manque closed the door, and after looking at each other, Qinglong and Xuanwu outside the door stood by the door on the left and right, holding the hilt of their swords at the same time.

Originally walking behind Qinglong and Xuanwu, the group of guards and servants of Hua's family who followed Second Brother Hua didn't know what to do now.

It was their second master who took the initiative to close the door. There should be some things that are inconvenient for them to hear, but why are the two guards of Ximen's family responsible for guarding the door?This is a bit of an overreach.

The guards of the Hua family wanted to go forward to argue, but Qinglong took the sword out of its sheath slightly, and Xuanwu moved his neck and clenched his fists, which forced the guards of the Hua family into a second defensive circle. Dare not complain.

"I knew that Qitong must not be able to hide this way, but I didn't expect the second young master to find out." Hua Manque smiled and lit up the lamp in the warehouse, letting the be turned off. The warehouse of the door is brighter.

Ximen Lanxing doesn't like to hear these words, what do you mean he can 'unexpectedly' find the problem?

This is actually very subtle.

That's right, he, Ximen Lanxing, is indeed a corpse boss who would never do anything himself as long as it can be solved by others, but it doesn't mean he has no brains!

What's more, Lu Xiaofeng is not good at all, so Ximen Lanxing has no chance to be a corpse boss.

"Don't play charades, what did you find, can you tell Lu? I'm the only one kept in the dark, it's a bit uncomfortable." Lu Xiaofeng looked around.

Ximen Lanxing, who didn't want to talk as soon as his temper came up, was secretly praised by Lu Xiaofeng's eyes seeking knowledge, and soon entered the link of "then I will answer you mercifully".

"It's the location of the warehouse."

"The night road we walked last night, running around on the roof made me ignore the layout of the surrounding courtyard. Now that I followed Brother Hua from the small building to here, the small map in my mind is very clear. "Ximen Lanxing didn't use the wrong word. He had the ability of this 'mini-map' in his mind since he was a child, and it was a 3D mini-map.

If it wasn't for the help of this map, he would have almost lost his way when he was a child because of the snow-covered road outside Saibei Pass.

It's just that he never knew what the meaning of 3D is...

Ximen Lanxing simply drew a map with his fingers on the dust on the warehouse table that hadn't been cleaned for a long time, "Generally speaking, when planning a manor or garden in a place like a warehouse, you will choose a place that is more conducive to Fengshui layout , for example, the gate should face south as much as possible, facing the water source, which is more conducive to the wealth. Storehouses usually have no windows, and there are windows, which are easy to leak money. If there are windows, try to face east as much as possible, alluding to Ziqi It means coming from the east. As for the orientation of the warehouse in this manor, it is best to be in the east or south."

"The warehouse or warehouse of a small household is relatively close to the residence, because there are many things that need to be placed or taken frequently. However, the warehouse of a large household is relatively far away from the residence. On the one hand, The owner doesn’t have to worry about taking and placing things, on the other hand, it is to avoid life problems caused by being too close to the residential area when thieves come to steal things.”

"And all the taboos that need to be noticed don't seem to exist in this warehouse." Ximen Lanxing pointed to the windows around the warehouse, as well as the small buildings he drew full of flowers, the warehouse, and the location of the main hall of Huajia A rough picture, and motioned Lu Xiaofeng to take a look for himself.

"Yes, this is indeed not the Hua family's previous warehouse." Hua Manque found a box containing treasures, blew on it casually, and sat on it. The fake warehouse was arranged in time."

"Of course, in order not to let the bad guys find out, the things in this warehouse are real. You can open a box casually, and you can see the treasures that the Hua family has accumulated over the years. Gold and silver jewelry, calligraphy and painting antiques, porcelain and jade are all there. , to ensure that any thieves can return home with full rewards."

"But the thief who left the book must not be able to find what he wanted, right?" Lu Xiaofeng pointedly pointed out the reason for the layout of the fake warehouse.

"That's right. Otherwise, what's the purpose of setting up a fake warehouse? Isn't it just so that people can't steal what he wants to steal?" Hua Manque smiled relaxedly, without any embarrassment after the trick was exposed.

"No wonder the third villain that Second Young Master saw last night was able to cut off the door lock of the warehouse with a dagger casually. It turns out that the warehouse was originally used as a bait."

After figuring out the function of the fake warehouse, Lu Xiaofeng connected many clues together.

Including the so-called not wanting to strengthen the guards to let people know the address of the warehouse, which is actually an excuse to use the warehouse as a bait to loosen the guards.

Including why the second brother Hua called so many people this morning, and said that he offered a huge reward for clues to the thieves, making the matter so big.It seems that they are very concerned about the things lost in the fake warehouse, but in fact they are used as a cover to protect the real warehouse, and want the thieves to think that the warehouse they know is the real warehouse of the Hua family.

Lu Xiaofeng had never thought about the fact that the warehouse was a fake before, mainly because he never expected that the Hua family would have the guts to create a fake warehouse.

And the things in this fake warehouse...

Lu Xiaofeng casually opened a box beside him, and the gold bars and jewels inside caught his eyes.

With his treasure appraising ability, Lu Xiaofeng can be sure that these things in the box are indeed real.

"Brother Lu, don't be suspicious, these things are real." Hua Manque picked up a pearl necklace casually.

These pearls as big as longan are strung together in a string, the color is naturally white, tender and translucent, and it is of high quality at first glance. Coupled with this size, it must be a treasure that is hard to find.It was just so casually placed by the Hua family in a fake warehouse with very loose defenses.

"I, Lu Xiaofeng, am convinced now." Lu Xiaofeng watched the pearls worth a thousand tons of wine being thrown back into the box by Hua Manque, feeling his heart throbbing, "The Hua family's handwriting is really big. , the fake warehouse is full of real goods!"

"The main reason is that after receiving that letter, we don't know if the mansion has been monitored by criminals. At most, it is in the name of transferring the treasures of the warehouse, moving things and setting up a fake warehouse. I really don't have time to go there. I bought fake treasures." Hua Manque patted the closed box, "To tell the truth, there is more than one fake warehouse. And every fake warehouse contains real treasures."

"We just hope that someone will be interested in these things and spend money to eliminate the disaster."

"No, it's definitely not that simple." Ximen Lanxing shook his head, "I have made several fake warehouses, and they are full of real treasures. The so-called waste of money and disaster relief is not like the Huajiahui that has stood in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years. things made."

Ximen Lanxing was aggressive, with a serious expression, his face was full of "remove all wrong options, even if it is impossible, there is only one answer", and there was a sentence "there is only one truth" in his eyes, which was about to spew out.

"The Hua family wants to use these fake treasure houses to attract more thieves. The more people are driven by greed, the more they will be exposed. Anyway, it is impossible to evacuate the Hua family by individual actions. On the contrary, if there is a group action, It is possible to catch a thief who leads out and find the book you really care about."

"Even if you can't catch that person, the more thieves are attracted by the real treasure in the fake treasury, the more it will muddy the water, so that the thing you are afraid of being stolen can be better hidden!"

'Papapa' Hua Manque smiled and applauded, "Master Ximen Cement is really astute. Qitong, you have made a good friend."

Ximen Lanxing: ...

Hua Manlou, who was in the house all the time but didn't speak, showed a slightly bitter smile.

He didn't know if he had done something wrong.It was he who invited Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Lanxing to investigate without authorization, and the result exposed his family's plan...

What is it about their home that they are afraid of being stolen?

"Hehe, Second Young Master is amazing." Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand and rubbed Ximen Lanxing's head, "How did you think of it? Tell your brother Lu to study?"

Ximen Lanxing chuckled, with a bit of indifference on his face, and the pride that he was not afraid of anything for a second came out again, "Of course it is because of the sense of disobedience that this behavior is seriously inconsistent with the Hua family!"

"This kind of behavior of flaunting wealth and pretending to be X can only be done by me, the second youngest with a local tyrant!"

Saying that, Ximen Lanxing's face still showed an expression of eagerness to try, Lu Xiaofeng carefully distinguished, the kind of emotion is probably:

'Ah, I really want to give it a try' 'I don't try it after the Hua family has used it. ''Why don't you try it at home? ''Get a few real treasures and fake warehouses for people to peek at? ''Learn about fishing law enforcement. '

Lu Xiaofeng: ...I think your idea is unrealistic, who would dare to steal Ximen Chuuxue?

The author has something to say:

Lu Xiaofeng: I want to rub my hair and pinch my face.

Ximen Chuuxue: This sword is a sharp weapon in the world, with a blade of three feet and seven inches, and a net weight of seven catties and 13 taels.

Lu Xiaofeng: Sorry (>person<)
