The Rescue Of The Tragic Villain Is In Progress!

A2 C59 - Embroidered Sachet

Since the thief who stole the painting didn't even take the painting out of the Golden Scale Pavilion, she naturally wouldn't leave. It was too conspicuous for the other party to try to climb over the wall and leave using fast light footwork called qīnggōng, hence she could only slip through the back door.

When he was checking everyone's palms in the Golden Scale Pavilion just now, Chu Xinian looked carefully at every maid in the house. Finally, besides the flustered murderer Qing Lan, there is another maid who is very special.

No, it shouldn't be called special, but ordinary. The appearance of that face is so ordinary that people won't remember it no matter how many times they look at it.

Faint brows, medium-sized eyes, medium-high nose, and medium-thick lips, like a faded ink painting, only vague shadows can be seen, and it is impossible to see clearly.

Chu Xinian still remembered that the King of Guangping said that the thousand-faced thief was very good at disguise, and such an ordinary face was like a natural canvas, possessing superior conditions for disguise.

He secretly followed the maid, and overheard her talking to the maid-in-charge, saying that she was going out to buy embroidered satin. So for now, let the coachman drive the carriage to the back door and wait for the little rabbit to fall into the trap.

Xie Jingyuan didn't understand why Chu Xinian insisted on catching a small thief. Because of the fragrant embroidered sachet, his words were unavoidably spewing bitter: "Chu Xinian, you are too addicted to handling cases, and now a thief who simply steals paintings is worth your attention?"

Chu Xinian said: "Don't you know, General, 'Judge her using her talent instead of her character'? Although she is a thief, she has abilities that are complex for ordinary people. We might as well use her."

There was a deep meaning in his words, but before Xie Jingyuan figured it out, he saw her.

A maid in pink clothing came out from the back door of Guangping Manor with her head poking around. She has few features, a round white face, the only color is her pair of dark eyes, she is fifteen or sixteen years old.

Xie Jingyuan frowned and found that the girl walked silently, with light footwork, obviously a good qīnggōng.

Chu Xinian smiled: "General, the rabbit is out, can you catch her?"

Xie Jingyuan narrowed his narrow eyes slightly when he heard this, and said angrily, "You want this General to catch the girl for you?"

He discovered that Chu Xinian has been a little restless recently, and there are too many of his rotten peach blossoms. Now it's even more extreme, actually letting himself catch a woman for him.

(TL: Peach Blossom could also refer to describe someone's admirer or potential love interest)

Chu Xinian pressed his hand, and gently persuaded: "This girl is very useful, the general will definitely help me, right?"

Xie Jingyuan: "..."

Qian Qian, a little thief who has just made a name for himself in the capital, recently felt that she was really unlucky today, not to mention the famous painting she was going to steal. She has also witnessed a murder case inexplicably.

Her psychological activities can be roughly divided into the following two stages:

#Oh shit, my painting has been seen?

#Oh double shit, there's a dead man on the scene!?

In summary, she felt that the Dragon Scale Pavilion is really not a good place. The intuition and experience of many years of stealing career told her that it is the best policy to go, and there must be no good things to happen if she stays.
