C175 (1/2)
Yuan Jin never thought that the earring would be so unexpected.
But Cen Yi's words still made him frown.
”Cen Er accidentally saw it on a woman's ear. This subordinate asked the woman where she came from and the woman said that her husband gave it to her.” The woman did not look well off. She was dressed in sackcloth and had no jewelry on her head.
Although this earring looked old, it was still a good thing. It was another gift from her husband. The woman showed off a little, giving Cen Er the chance to see her.
”When we found her man, the man refused to tell her at first, but when he got impatient he asked for some silver to blackmail him. After being frightened by the way Cen Er unsheathed his sword, he tremblingly said that he snatched it from the hands of a fool. We're looking for that fool. Although that fool has some impression of this earring, he can't remember where he picked it up. ”
”Where is that fool now?” Yuan Jin's expression became serious.
Cen Yi cupped his hands, ”I will rest in my residence, and bring him here right now.”
”Go.”
Cen Yi quickly turned around and left. Not long later, as expected, he brought along a twenty year old man who was happily biting his finger.
His clothes were new, it should be Cen Yi and the rest that cleaned him up, but they were all wet with saliva.
Seeing Prince Yan, he also chuckled.
Yuan Jin walked in front of him with the earring in his hand, and asked him with a lowered voice, ”Do you remember this?”
The man nodded. ”I, I picked it up.” As he spoke, he clapped his hands angrily as if he had thought of something, ”But someone stole it.”
”Then do you remember where you picked it up?”
”I remember.”
Yuan Jin was startled, then looked up and met eyes with Cen Yi. Cen Yi also did not expect to hear different answers from his mouth, so he hurriedly asked, ”Where did you pick it up?”
”On the ground, hehe, I picked it up.” The man laughed again. ”I didn't see anyone, but I did. I picked it up and ran away. It was fast.”
Yuan Jin frowned, Cen Yi sighed with disappointment, so it was like that.
Yuan Jin asked a few more questions, but to no avail.
He then looked up and asked Cen Si, ”Is there any way to cure him?”
”He should be born with this condition. He can't be cured.” His brain had broken when he was born, so Cen Si was powerless to help. Moreover, even if he was cured, this fool might not even remember where he picked up the earring.
Yuan Jin pinched the earring and let Cen Yi take her down.
Unexpectedly, the clue was still cut.
When Cen Yi returned, he was also a little ashamed. ”Master, your subordinate's work was not good.”
”This is not your fault. No matter what, the owner of this earring is in the capital.”
He had gone to Ke Prefecture two nights ago to find out about this information. However, he had searched Ke Prefecture for two days only to find out that it was not accurate.
He didn't expect that the person he was looking for was actually in the capital.
Calming himself down, Yuan Jin then said to Cen Yi, ”Go and check where this fool usually appears at, expand the area he usually operates at, and look around.”
”Yes.” Cen Yi nodded. Receiving Master's instructions, he was quickly filled with confidence again.
