Chapter 220: The Thief

People know themselves, and Hou Shigui knows that even he is not omniscient and omnipotent.

At least in the area of detectives, he is really not as good as these people under his hands.

Listening to their analysis, Hou Shigui only nodded, and said:

"But why did they have to put so much effort to hold the corpse so far away?"

Seeing that his subordinates were either frowning and thinking, or shaking their heads and not knowing, Hou Shigui had no choice but to say:

"Come into the ship and search, and if you don't find anything, go and look at the place where the body was kept, maybe...... Well? ”

Halfway through his words, Hou Shigui was stunned, and everyone around him, except for Bao Ji, also showed a sudden expression of enlightenment.

"Childe, what happened?"

Only Bao Ji, a rough man, was puzzled and didn't understand why everyone had such expressions.

Instead, Fang Feibai looked at Bao Ji and quipped:

"If you were one of those thieves, under what circumstances would you not want those corpses to be here?"

Although Fang Feibai suffered a great change and was forced to join the forbidden army, the knowledge he learned as a young man was still in his mind.

Compared to others, he is also one of the wiser people in the brocade guard.

Bao Ji scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Lu Xingan still couldn't stand it anymore, so he relieved him and said:

"Unless there is something very important hidden here, and it will not be able to move away for a while, in order to divert the gaze, of course you can't put more than two dozen corpses here."

"Lu boy, what you said is not right."

Bao Ji immediately pointed out the mistakes and omissions in Lu Xing'an's words:

"This is the dock, and those people just have to throw the corpse into the river, and the corpse won't float somewhere else?"

"Unless ......"

Hou Shigui stood on the wharf with his hands in his hands, watching the long river on both sides of the wharf flowing silently, sometimes the cold wind blowing, startling a dead leaf:

"What they want to hide is the whole river, and these people have a big plan."

Want to hide an entire river?

What are the thieves going to do with this river?

Before Bao Ji could be surprised, raindrops the size of beans suddenly fell from the gray sky.

Caught off guard, including Hou Shigui and his entourage, the boatmen, cargo workers, and pedestrians who were still on the dock scattered in all directions to avoid the rain.

The winter was already extremely cold, and if it was drenched by the rain, it would have to kill people.

In a hurry, Hou Shigui and his party also hurriedly hid to an eaves in the rear.

I didn't want a little girl to suddenly bump out, the speed was so fast that she almost knocked Hou Shigui to the ground:

"Sorry, sorry!! I didn't mean to. ”

The guards around Hou Shigui were about to get angry, but the little girl bent down to apologize to Hou Shigui very politely.

Then he ran off into the distance.

After running to a cabin in the distance, the little girl reached out to wipe the cold rain on her face, picked up a bag of money and checked it in her hand, and then giggled at the people in the cabin:

"Haha, I've told you, it's best to slaughter fat sheep when it rains!"

In addition to her, there were seven other people in the cabin of this cargo ship, but all seven of them were adult men.

Hearing this, one of them laughed:

"Dare to steal chickens and touch dogs in front of Cao Shou, Shadow Hand Hong, I'm afraid you're impatient."

This little girl is also a little mess in the rivers and lakes, specializing in stealing chickens and dogs, a pair of small hands are extremely dexterous, fast and unparalleled.

Every time someone steals something, people can only see an afterimage passing by their waists, and the storage bag on their waists disappears.

So the people in the rivers and lakes are called: Shadow Hand Rainbow.

As for her real name, her name is Zhao Yuhong.

When Zhao Yuhong heard this, she glanced at Cao Yilang, who had a gloomy face on the side and seemed to have something on her mind, and said with a smile:

"I know the rules, Master Cao, share half of you!"

After that, he took out half of the silver from the money bag and threw it to Cao Yilang.

This Cao Yilang is also agile, and as soon as he raised his hand and shook it, he grabbed the silver that flew in the air in his hand.

checked the weight of the ingot of silver and found that there were at least fifty taels, so Cao Yilang was in a better mood:

"Shadow Hand Rainbow, did you steal it from Hall Master Zhang?"

Zhao Yuhong grinned, shook his head and said:

"No, I just met a boy, I heard that the voice is not a local accent, there is a group of people around to escort it, I know it is a fat sheep at a glance, my hands are itchy, so I did a vote, and this money bag is also very good-looking, I mainly fancy this money bag, hehe!"

As she spoke, she picked up the money bag and examined it carefully.

This money bag is made of fine Shu brocade, and the pattern of the hundred birds on the back is lifelike, as if those birds are alive.

Zhao Yuhong couldn't put it down.

However, Cao Ichiro said:

"We still have big things to do, and you don't know the identity of others to make a move, in case you provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked, wouldn't it be extraordinary?"

Zhao Yuhong said indifferently:

"What should not be provoked? And there is a Hou character printed on the front of this person's money bag, the family, I haven't heard of the Hou family.

Maybe it's just a nobody out of nowhere! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, someone quipped:

"Don't you forget the Brocade Demon Lord of the Jingshi, maybe you stole his money bag? Hahaha! ”

Zhao Yuhong also knew that this person was joking, not to mention that the Demon Lord of Brocade was still on his way to Xiaoping, even if he came, the first place he wanted to go to was Qinggang, what did he do when he came to He'an, a broken place where birds don't?

He paid no attention to the man, and began to count the money in the purse.

More than sixty taels, it can be regarded as a fat sheep!

After Cao Yilang took the silver back into his arms, he sat there sullenly beside him, and comforted:

"Brother Chen, don't mind, besides, those beggars weren't killed by us, right?"

Seeing that Chen Jin was depressed, he remembered the identity of Chen Jin's beggar gang, and thought that Chen Jin was unhappy because of the death of those beggars.

How did he know that Chen Jin was sullen that he couldn't steal the fat sheep's horse the day before yesterday.

I don't know if those three lazy people have succeeded?

If he succeeded, he would have taken the money and had a good time now, right?

Pity yourself, I was forcibly pulled here by this Cao Yilang, I thought that it would be done in one night, but who knew that it was involved, but it was getting bigger and bigger.

Chen Jin, who crawled out of the pile of dead people, didn't care about the promises made by Cao Yilang and those people.

His only thought now is to earn money to return to his hometown and live well for his comrades.

But now that I am involved in these things, I don't know ...... Alas......

Seeing the person next to Cao Yilang sighing again, Zhao Yuhong asked curiously:

"Master Cao, where did you bring this person?"

There were eight people in the cabin, and except for Chen Jin, they were all people who knew the bottom of the neighborhood of Ha'an.

Everyone also knows each other, and this is Chen Jin, who has never heard of it before.

As soon as Zhao Yuhong's voice fell, Cao Yilang said in a dissatisfied tone:

"You little girl, you don't have any scruples when you steal things, but you ask this and that?

What's wrong? Can you believe it? ”

Although Zhao Yuhong is young, she may have been in the rivers and lakes for so long, and she is not comparable to ordinary little girls.
