On June 19, Huajinfang experienced an unprecedented chaos.

On this day, the weather was fine, and the scorching sun jumped out early in the morning, and the great love radiated light and heat without borders, as if it wanted to evaporate all the water in the world. The weather is hot and dry, even under the shade of the trees is not cool, people's mood is also impetuous, sweating when they move, people sigh, try to find a comfortable place to stay.

Those who don't go out fan the wind in front of the windows of their own homes; Workers grab a cool place in the store; Even those who carried the burden and sold sour plum soup found a high corner and squatted at the bottom of the eaves, and everyone was in a bad mood, looking at the street sullenly, and slacking off their work.

At the end of the hour, the sun-baked ground seemed to be able to float out of the shadows, and people wanted to wilt their heads, when suddenly a light figure appeared on the street.

The man was a long man, dressed in a pale blue kudzu robe, with light movement on the soles of his feet, a graceful posture, and a speed of movement so fast that people could barely see his face.

Yes, this is a man, although he can't see his face clearly, and his body shape is a little blurry, but his chest is flat, he must be a man, and he can't be wrong at all.

But this kung fu is too handsome! Everyone couldn't help but follow him.

Everyone looked at it with appreciation, thinking that this was a little visual enjoyment brought to them by God in a boring day, but unexpectedly, this figure floated one by one, and actually came to their own store!

The stunned people didn't react at all, this person had already flickered into his own store, and when he just reacted and wanted to stop, people 'whoosh' jumped out again, regardless of whether you were admiring or vigilant, it was already too late.

……

This extremely cool water and blue figure in the summer is so light and fluttering, shaking a few streets of Huajinfang and patronizing many shops.

Two quarters of an hour later, all the shops that had been visited were blown up, or they rolled up their sleeves and copied the guys, or they were unable to kneel and weep bitterly - the treasure of the town shop had been stolen!

Under the blue sky and white sun, before everyone saw it, someone stole the treasure of the town store so lightly, what are the shopkeepers doing in the tent! It's a shame, okay!

It's a pity that the thieves ran too fast, and they tried their best, but they still couldn't catch up!

The shopkeepers on the street met out of breath, and when they looked at each other, their eyes were full of anger. To say that Huajinfang is not a big place, petty theft is inevitable to tell the truth, everyone opens the door to do business, and makes money peacefully, and it is not a big deal to lose a melon and two dates, as long as it does not endanger their own interests, it should be ruined and avoided, and no one particularly minds. But the treasure of the town store is not ordinary, it is the treasure of the store, the face of the shopkeeper!

After thinking about it a few times in my heart, when I looked at each other again, I almost immediately reached a consensus: report to the official! Must report to the police! The thief is still in Huajinfang and has not gone far, and now he will be able to catch someone!

Then the head of the guard soon came with people.

Wei Zhutou is a responsible and good catcher, doing things in a very regular way, I heard that the thief may not have run out of Huajinfang, immediately transferred all the catchers to come over, blocked a few lanes in and out of Huajinfang, and asked the situation one by one.

In fact, he didn't need to run in particular, the shopkeepers saw him coming, and immediately gathered together, pulled the guys in their respective stores out, and everyone will see the thief before and after, 1510 said carefully and clearly.

Many guys testify, and it is very convenient to find a path. After all, no matter how fast the thief is, he is blatantly jumping in people's sight, where the thief goes, where he stays for a while, people all point out.

As they spoke, they found several of them to be very suspicious.

The thief came to Huajinfang to steal things, and everyone had losses, but why did the thief come to my house to steal things and leave quickly, and stayed in your house for so long? Are you guys related? Did you help the thief step on the point, otherwise how would the thief know what the treasure of my town store is, where to put it, and steal it smoothly?

You traitor of Huajinfang!

Under the scorching sun, everyone was very angry, and nearly an hour had passed, and the atmosphere was even hotter before the thief was caught. From the pure worry at the beginning, to the street search of chickens and dogs, to the sprinkling of tongue wars, and finally they started to do it!

At the beginning, they also worked together to catch the thief with one voice, and then directly picked out their eyes and poked their nostrils to pry their nostrils, from questioning the other party's character to carrying out a certain non-river crab sport with the eighteen female generations of the other party's ancestors, and scolding the street can scold the flowers.

When Wei Zhutou saw that this was not good, he was stunned, and he was angry, "Stop it!" ”

The disheveled and sweaty people expressed their disbelief, and they didn't stop for a moment, and a warrior shouted distractedly, "The thief is still in Huajinfang, he must have been hidden by these traitors, and he can't catch the master if he doesn't find out!" ”

There are many people who should make peace.

Wei Zhutou pulled out the long knife at his waist, and the sharp and cold eyes of the person blinked. He pulled a sharp, very imposing sword flower, his eyes were full of majesty, "The official is handling the case, and you dare to make trouble!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and quickly let go of the hand that was pinching each other's face and nose; The legs wrapped around the other party's waist, the whole placket and sideburns, the eyes that are all right, sweeping around, coughing twice, and the posture is upright.

As if they weren't the ones who were fighting just now.

Guardian Head: ...... Hehe.

"Officials do not tolerate any crime, no matter how big or small. Since the clues show that the thief stayed in several shops for a little longer, the store is suspicious, and the thief has not been caught, then I will take the arresters to invite all the people in these shops to the government office and ask them one by one. ”

As soon as Wei Zhutou's voice fell, the two sides of the fight were happy and worried, glaring angrily, extremely discordant, and seeing the possibility of pinching up. Wei Zhutou said slowly to the worried side, "The government is only to find out the culprit, and it will not wronged the good people, and if you ask if you are not guilty, you will release the people, you don't have to worry." ”

As a result, this farce came to an end when the catchers invited the people who should be invited to the mansion.

Lu Li, Zhao Zhu, and Shen Wansha watched the whole scene at the window position on the second floor of the teahouse at the entrance of Huajinfang Street.

Shen Wansha smiled and commented, "It's not bad to pick up stars, it's really fast, but I don't like other colors of clothes, which is too annoying." He had a lot of trouble getting the guy to wear a light blue dress.

"Picking stars and being smart, the key to today's scene is to rely on him." Lu Li is very grateful to Helian Yu.

Zhao Shu tilted his head and snorted coldly, "It's just a small technique." ”

"What's next?" Shen Wansha held his chin and looked at the crowd below, "Picking stars is going to be imprisoned!" ”

Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha's eyebrows and eyes full of interest, and wanted to say Young Master, are you really worried? Anyone can see the expectation on this face......

Picking stars is also pitiful.

Lu Li turned his head to look downstairs, and happened to see the stars in the crowd throwing a flying eye at Shen Wansha.

Lu Li: ...... It's so redundant to worry about you.

"Next, go according to the plan." Lu Li stood up calmly and beckoned Zhao Shu and his friends, "Let's go." ”

Wei Zhutou took these people to a room the size of three wings, but although the room was large, there was only a set of tables and chairs, and there were no windows, and the strong sunlight from the outside world could not shine in the slightest, so they could only light candles to illuminate it, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"We're busy today, let's come one by one, or do we talk together?"

There were a total of twenty-three people in the room, seven of them were the suspects who were circled by Lu Li and Zhao Zhu, Shen Wanshahe Lianyu, and the rest were the guys who went to work when they went to the store to arrest people, and of course, there were also the undercover agents who came in in the plan, Helian Yu and Yuan Lian.

Some of the suspects had taken face-to-face photos, so Helian Yu made a simple appearance. Yuan Lian also changed his appearance, but what he needed to guard against was Lu Li, who had seen him many times.

From a secret envoy to a thief, the gap is so big, Yuan Lian is also bitter in his heart. But this matter needs someone to cooperate, he has been working undercover for many years, the most experienced, Zhao Shu fully supported his daughter-in-law, did not allow things to fail, gave an order, he had to grit his teeth, and prayed in his heart not to touch the princess.

was misunderstood as a traitor, and had a personal affair with the thief, and everyone was very excited, "Ask!" There's nothing you can't talk about! ”

"Don't get excited, take your time." Wei Zhutou said a few words of reassurance, and sat down at the table, "Come one by one, the first one-"

As soon as the words fell, an errand officer trotted over with a solemn face, and whispered a few words in the ear of the head of the guard.

Wei Zhutou's eyes narrowed, and his sharp gaze swept over the group of people in front of him, and after a while, he stood up, and his voice seemed to contain ice, "You think about it carefully." With that, he walked out!

Which one is this!

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, and everyone stared at each other, not understanding why.

But the official word has two mouths, it is a head catcher, and the ordinary people dare not provoke it, so everyone occupies a position separately and waits silently.

Wait for a pillar of incense, two quarters of an hour, half an hour...... An hour has passed, and no one has come to take care of them!

Thinking of the look in Wei Zhutou's eyes before leaving, his timid heart has begun to feel a little apprehensive.

At this moment, the door was kicked open, and a tall, fierce-eyed, arrogant and domineering man walked in.

"Is there a thief among you?" Zhao Shu took a long step and walked in with his hands behind his back.

His momentum was too terrifying, and everyone in the room stood up in unison, and their voices were in unison, "I'm not I'm not I'm not!" ”

Zhao Zhu dug out his ears and circled around everyone, "Wei Zhutou is busy, Lao Tzu has no time to play with you, you solve it yourself, find out the thief, you can leave, you can't find it...... Hehe, wait for the head of the guard to come back. ”

Everyone was stunned, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Zhao Zhucai didn't care about them, turned around and left, walked to the door and turned around and kindly reminded, "Oh, Wei Zhutou is on a business trip, maybe he won't be able to come back in a few days, you guys are so self-conscious." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the reaction of everyone in the room, he ordered the guards by the door, "Lock it!" Keep an eye on, no one is allowed to leave! ”

The guards should do their duty to close and lock the door.

The room immediately exploded, "Whoever is the thief, stand up quickly, otherwise when we catch you out, it will be light to beat you!" ”

Some people shouted, some people echoed, and naturally some people stood silently and stood still to watch.

No one is convinced of anyone.

Helian Yu had already changed into a moon-white robe, stood in the corner with his arms crossed, and secretly put on a look of 'you stupid humans', while quietly observing everyone.

Among this group of people, there are Li Lu, a lumberjack of the Li Tong family that he saw on the mountain before, Li Gui, who often settles in Mu's carriage and horse shop, and Mao San, a blacksmith who has just made a pot for Mei Niang...... Lots of familiar people.

Li Guineng can speak well, and it can be seen from the fact that he can earn a lot of reward money in Si Xingmi, although this person is a small person, he can get a place in the circle of small people. Just shouted for the thief to stand up, it was he who hit the head, and after he shouted, there were many people who answered. Most of these guys who are not on the list and have been caught temporarily, are anxious and eager.

The lumberjack Li Lu was more wooden, standing silently against the root of the wall, as if he didn't dare to come forward and shout, not convinced that he was imprisoned, but there was no way to solve it, and from time to time he secretly glanced at others with hateful eyes.

There are many people like him, and in addition to Li Gui taking the lead in the positive in the room, it is Li Lu who is negative. It's just that everyone's personality is different, and their expressions and behaviors will be different, for example, some people completely ignore a qiē, no sadness, no joy, no hatred, no anger, and a flat face.

Yuan Lian acted at this time, he has been an undercover agent for many years, and he is familiar with the behavioral characteristics of various classes and the way of greetings. He frowned and stepped forward, "There are more than 20 of us, and there is only one thief, he doesn't admit it, we can't see it, not only does it have no result if he talks like this, but it also makes him angry, why bother?" According to me, it's better to chat and play games...... We are all going south and north to earn food with our strength, not a thief, who can't participate in us, who doesn't understand our business, who is a thief! ”

When everyone heard this, they were justified! The officials don't care, they are all ordinary people, who knows how to ask for a confession, the most conceivable method is just to beat the thief, and if the thief hurts, he should be recruited, but what if the thief is cunning and can't find it? This method is not bad, and the thief will be exposed as soon as he plays!

Li Gui immediately stood up with a smile and arched his hand, "What do you call this brother?" It's such a whimsical idea, I can't wait! ”

"It's easy to say," Yuan Lian returned the salute and smiled out with a mouthful of white teeth, "My brother was born without a father or mother, and he grew up in a broken temple, and the monks gave me the nickname Tie Er, everyone doesn't give up, just call me Tie Er." ”

The two of them chattered for a moment, and everyone gathered here agreed to this method.

Yuan Lianchao bared his teeth at the person standing on the stake, "The minority obeys the majority, if you don't cooperate, don't blame us for picking a scoop and sending it out to the guards." ”

Except for Helian Yu and Yuan Lian, no one present knew why this sudden encounter appeared, and no one was a thief, so he was naturally full of confidence, why refuse!

And so the game played.

First of all, I talked about all kinds of local meat jokes, and only this class would encounter injustices, obscene with a certain eldest lady, a red card in the green house, and then playing a very special gambling game, and confessing special jargon if I lost......

The atmosphere changed from the tension when Zhao Shu came in, to relaxed. It was almost noon, and at lunchtime, not only was this group of people not negative, but their happy laughter could almost break the sky.

Of course, extroverted people are more lively, such as Li Lu and Mao San, who are still relatively low-key, and their expressions do not change significantly.

Helian Yu still uses his actions to deduce a person with a cold temper and arrogance, of course, his expression is very vague, except for smart people who can't notice it.

Soon, the key turning point came.

Everyone wants to find out the thief in the crowd, and the eyes are round while playing, no way, the game is attractive, and 'going home' is even more attractive!

quickly mingled with everyone, and the affectionate Yuan Lian was exposed.

When he bent down to pick up the pebbles he was using to play the game, something fell from his arms.

Li Gui touched his chest when he saw something, and his face immediately pulled down, "This purse is mine!" ”

Yuan Lian's movements froze for a moment, grinned awkwardly, and scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it." ”

This is xiàn, anyone with eyes can see that this is a thief!

Li Gui immediately took the lead in holding Yuan Lian in custody, and sneered, "It turns out that you are the thief!" In vain, we still call you brothers! ”

Yuan Lian exclaimed, "Brother, brother, be merciful!" ”

"Keep your mother's love!" Li Gui squinted, "I understand, you took the initiative to come to the organization, you want to be the boss of this house, so that everyone believes you, you are so good at framing others, everyone believes you, of course, you say who is a thief, and after proving the crooked theory, everyone thinks who is a thief, hehe, what a good skill!" It's a pity that the sky has eyes, you didn't expect it to be now! ”

Yuan pleaded again and again, but the people led by Li Gui refused, called the guards outside, and happily handed over Yuan Lian.

Lu Li, Shen Wansha and Zhao Zhu stood on the high flying pavilion outside the courtyard, watching Yuanlian Wolf Bèi being escorted out.

"Where did you get this undercover agent?" Lu Li pointed at Yuan Lian, frowning slightly, "The body shape is similar to that of the good life of the Inspector." ”

That's the Inspector!

Shen Wansha covered his mouth and looked at Zhao Zhu in horror: There are so many capable people under him, why do you have to use the people you have seen with Xiao Oak!

"Things are the same, people are similar." Zhao Shu was very calm, "He should be honored to look like an envoy." ”

"Well...... Lu Li looked at Zhao Shu with a smile, "That's right." ”

It's so easy to believe! Shen Wansha continued to cover his mouth in horror. Zhao Shu swept over with a cool look, he was so frightened that he immediately let go of his hand behind his back, and shook his head vigorously to indicate that he would not show his stuffing!

In fact, Zhao Zhu used Yuan Lian, just because his skills were very good, and the success rate of deceiving these people was ten out of ten.

……

After everyone in the room handed over Yuan Lian, the guards didn't let them go, didn't say anything, and still locked them in the room.

As time passed, the dark room, the beating stomach, and the unknown hours all put a lot of pressure on them. They began to panic, and inexplicable fear crept up, and no one dared to speak.

Some smart people suspect Helian Yu and think that he is a thief, and they always pay attention to him. Helian Yu could feel this kind of attention, and he found these people with a smile on his lips.

The murderer in this case is here, and it should be focused on.

At the beginning of the day, people with poor psychological tolerance almost collapsed, and some people began to cry quietly.

At this time, Lu Li appeared.

He asked the guard to open the door and walked in with a calm gait.

"You probably don't understand why I didn't let you out." Lu Li smiled and said softly, "Because among you, there is a murderer." ”

He smiled and said such a sentence easily, everyone in the room was frightened, and even the most tossed Li Gui seemed to be stupid, and he was speechless.

One of the bold ones asked, "You say...... Among us, there are murderers? His voice trembled, and he was clearly afraid.

"Yes." Lu Li stood with his hands in his hands, his posture upright, "It's the famous beheading case, the murderer traveled to several places, killed dozens of people, cut off their heads, and abandoned their bodies in the wilderness. Well...... This murderer has also been praised by you, and you should not be afraid to come to the same room with him. ”

Someone in the room started shaking. When it doesn't matter, rumors are just rumors, they are talking about it, they are talking about it, how can they not be afraid if they are in the same room with the murderer, what if this person goes crazy and kills himself?

Lu Li's gaze was level, sweeping every part of the room, making everyone think that he was looking at him, and there was a faint pressure in his calm voice, "And I, I can find you." ”

"Now that the head catchers are busy, the officials can't spare time, so they ordered me to take charge of this matter, it's late, I'm tired, I don't want to spend too much energy, so I'll give you a chance." He stood in the middle of the crowd, his voice was slightly cold, "Before dawn, you stand up by yourself, I promise, I will help you fight for a commutation of sentence, after all, you must be very bitter in your heart when you do such a big case, but if you don't stand up, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

He walked around the room, "You may not believe that I can get you out, so I'll give you a few keywords." The woman, the cook, the tavern, the secret passage, the inn...... One late winter night, you occasionally learn that someone has a habit. This person's identity can be exposed to some news, and this habit allows you to hear important things, so you follow them all the way...... Use these messages to commit crimes. ”

"You killed Si Xingying. The capture site is at the Yuanlai Inn, and you throw the body on Xiaolian Mountain, using a secret passage. ”

"You are a foreigner, no one is sheltered, since you are already here, then searching your place of work and residence is just like a snap." Lu Li smiled slightly, "The arresters in the government have already acted, can you hide it again, the murder weapon, the route of travel, and the working hours...... You can't hide it. Moreover, since the afternoon, the messengers have been searching around the city and in the suburbs, and we have found the heads......

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you stand up or not, tomorrow morning, I will pull you out. You can't run. Lu Li clapped his hands, and walked out with a relaxed and confident expression, "It's up to you to do whatever you want, and the result is always yours alone." ”

After his figure left, the door slammed shut, the heavy chains stirred, and the huge lock slammed shut.

Seeing Lu Li, Shen Wansha immediately pounced, very curious, "Isn't it okay to catch them back, why do you want to play the same tricks in front of you?" ”

"Because I want to knock out his psychological defenses little by little." Lu Li smiled, "After experiencing so many things in one day, my mood fluctuated several times in soothing, bad, happy, and angry, and finally faced such a fright...... Even the murderer will mess up. ”

"Oh...... Wouldn't we be sure that we would succeed? Shen Wansha stroked his palms excitedly.

"It's just a kick from Helian Yu," Lu Li blinked, "Let's look forward to it!" ”
