Chapter 240: Carriage watcher
“The others, the young men are in their early ‘20s, they may not be married yet, they are in the age that easily get impulsive . The probability for them to commit a crime is much greater than the others . The middle-aged man, who’s in his early ‘40s . His family must have declined, his sons or daughters surely have their own family now . Such age can not only be considered living a carefree life but also can easily commit crimes . ”
“While the old man in ‘50s, obviously, he has bad legs . If someone, who has crooked mind suddenly stole the carriage . I’m afraid that he will not fight for it . Therefore, the man in ‘30s is the most suitable . ”
Hu Feng swallowed a bite of pancake and asked: “This is only one reason, what are the others?”
Bai Zhi took a bite of pancake . After swallowing, she continued to say: “The second is, he is suitable . ”
Hu Feng raised an eyebrow: “How come?”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Just like what you said, you can’t judge a person by appearance, just as you can’t measure the sea with a pint pot . Most people know this, but how many people can actually understand it?”
“He has a scar on his face, which made him look unkind . However, there is also a good effect from it, at least ordinary thief will be scared of him . ”
Hu Feng nodded and bite the pancake again: “What about the third one?”
“Thirdly, when we parked our carriage, he rushed up with the other men to get this job . But, he didn’t show off like the others . He seemed to be shrinking in the crowd . When he looked at us, he was obviously looking sideways . He doesn’t want us to see the scar on his face . He doesn’t want us to misunderstand him because of this scar . He is not that confident . But such a person must be chosen . Because he will do his best to protect our carriage . ”
Hu Feng was a little surprised . She was amazed by Bai Zhi’s observation skill and way of thinking . She was able to think exactly the same thought as him . She could see so many obvious things that could easily be overlooked in such a short amount of time .
Then, he asked: “You said that there are four important points, what is the fourth one?”
Bai Zhi stopped and looked back at the direction of the carriage . Although she was far, she seemed could see it clearly . She smiled brightly and said: “Because he looks likes he needs the money more than anyone else . It can be seen from his anxious eyes . ”
Hu Feng then asked: “Since he urgently needs money, if he stole the carriage, won’t he get money more easily?”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, he is a local here . He works as a carriage watcher, so people in the neighborhood know him . If we inquire about him, we will know details about him easily . So, why he would do something that will only harm himself?”
Hu Feng didn’t talk anymore, but his lips were curving up . He seemed to be in a good mood .
After eating the pancake, Bai Zhi bought a silk scarf for her mother . Now, it’s the autumn season, the weather will get colder and colder . She has to give her mother something to keep her warm . The quilt at home was also thin . She can sleep well with it, but later on, she’s afraid that it will not be enough .
“There is cotton over there, I will go and ask . ” Her mother’s needlework was good . She will buy some fabric and cotton before they go back home . There was also some cotton in the village, which is why they sew their own quilt .
Hu Feng made an ‘um’ sound, but his eyes kept staring at the stall that sells jewelry . The stall was decorated with a few pieces of jewelry, which looked very ordinary . They don’t look expensive nor delicate .
However, one of the white jade hairpins looks very delicate . It was slightly smaller compared to others . It was carved with a small flower, but perhaps because the sculptor has no flowers at home, the carved flower didn’t give off the same charm of a real flower .
