Chapter 872: No Money Stolen

Qin Se and Gu Jingyuanjun were shocked, and their faces changed.

"What? Home... Is there a thief in the house? But, these things don't seem to be messy?"

Zhou Ping shook her head and said coldly: "The house has been turned over, it should not be an ordinary thief."

Ordinary thieves, when they come to steal things at home, will turn the house upside down, no matter how clean you cleaned it before.

But now, after the things in the house were turned over, they were carefully put back to their original places.

If Zhou Ping didn't remember clearly where the things were placed at home, she might not have noticed that someone had been there.

Zhou Ping knew where all the things in this house were placed with her eyes closed, and she could detect even if they were moved a little bit.

Gu Jingyuan looked around. The house was not big, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. Although it was a bit old, the rooms were very clean and tidy. Even if no one had lived here for a while, there was no peculiar smell.

There was no sign of being turned over by someone, but since Zhou Ping said so, Gu Jingyuan had reason to believe that what she said was true and someone had indeed been there.

Gu Jingyuan said, "Mom, if it's not an ordinary thief, then... it's looking for something. Mom, can you see if there's anything missing at home?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ping quickly ran to the room where she used to live.

Qin Se and Gu Jingyuan followed.

Zhou Ping pushed open her bedroom and asked Gu Jingyuan to help her push the 1.8-meter-long bed to the window, revealing the floor under the bed.

Zhou Ping squatted down and pried open two of the floorboards and picked them up.

Qin Se was very surprised that there was a place to hide things in the house. She had never known about it before.

She leaned over and saw that there was a secret compartment under the floorboard. There was a wooden box inside. The box was about 50 meters long, 30 meters wide, and about 20 meters high. It was not big. The patina on the surface had fallen off a little. It looked like it had been there for a long time.

There was a small lock on the box. Zhou Ping took a small key with a red rope from her neck.

Qin Se had seen this small key when she was very young. It had always been hanging around Zhou Ping's neck. She had almost never seen her take it off.

Zhou Ping opened the box, and Qin Se and Gu Jingyuan both looked over curiously.

There were two books inside, very old and yellowed.

There were two small porcelain bottles next to them, and I didn't know what was inside. There was also a copper bell that looked very old, something that looked a bit like a token, and there seemed to be a piece of cloth under the book, as well as a copper mirror and a small wooden box, and I didn't know what was inside.

Qin Se probably knew what these things were, they should be the magic tools left by grandpa for her mother.

However, she had never seen these things before.

Qin Se guessed that these things were probably very valuable, so her mother would not take them out easily, let alone show them to others casually.

Qin Se asked worriedly: "Mom, what book is this? Look at something else. Is there anything missing at home? Did someone come to steal money?"

Zhou Ping didn't say anything.

She closed the wooden box and locked it again.

Zhou Ping shook her head: "They didn't steal the money. They didn't come for the money."

Zhou Ping took all the money from home when she left. At that time, she was worried that Qin Se would get into trouble and wanted to take the money with her. If she needed it, she wouldn't be so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

It's chapter 900. I'll commemorate it. It feels like time has passed so quickly...
