Thieves, this kind of occupation of seeking other people's property by improper means for their own use, has existed since ancient times, and has been traced back to the roots of human beings since the primitive times, after they had surplus food, there has been this kind of annoying behavior.

Tang Dynasty writer, Yuan Zhi wrote in "Chivalrous Journey", "Chivalry is not afraid of death, afraid of not succeeding." I don't want to hide my name, I'm not a thief who walks at night. ”

There was a theft at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the person who was stolen was still a person who came to the Ministry of Rites to test, which was a big deal, so Yu Qianxian, who was eating wine on a business trip, caught his head, threw down the wine cup, and ran to the inn on a horse.

Then the inn, from the shopkeeper to the handyman, as well as the guests living in each room, were all gathered in the hall.

"Wang Juren, you said that when you went out this morning, the money bag was hidden at the bottom of the bookcase?"

"Yes!" Wang Lin, who was crying with a sad face, replied to him silently.

"How much money is in the purse?" Li Zhutou continued to ask.

"Not much, only seven taels of silver!"

Li Zhutou squinted, glanced at the people standing in the lobby, coughed and continued to ask, "These seven taels of silver, are they all whole silver?" ”

"That's not! It's all broken pieces of silver, the largest piece is about two taels or more, and the rest are seven or eight dollars. ”

"Where's the copper coin? Is there anything in the money bag? ”

"Nonsense! Naturally! ”

This Li catches the head, doesn't go to investigate and interrogate, always chases himself and asks what is the silver for? So Wang Lin was a little angry.

Li Zhutou, but he has many years of experience in solving cases, although the owner is a little impatient with himself, but he has to continue to ask.

"Oh, Wang Juren, if you want to find the money back, you have to find out everything in all aspects, otherwise you can't solve the case!"

Wang Lin could say anything, so he had to answer him patiently one by one.

After Li Zhutou finished questioning Wang Lin, he began to interrogate other people in the lobby, and the first thing to interrogate was the work of the inn and the shopkeeper.

When asked them, Li Zhutou didn't have any good temper, so he put a golden knife on a stool, and said to the three people kneeling on the ground: "If you don't want to eat the board and squat in prison, you can explain it 1510, if you let the Sprinkle family find it out by yourself, then there will be no good fruit to eat!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them kowtowed on the ground like garlic paste and said: "Master Li, we are honest people, don't dare to go to the Xianggong House to steal things, please raise your noble hand high!" Let the villain go! ”

"Spare you?" Li Zhutou smiled, "If the lost silver can run by itself, then it must be easy to say!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhutou stood up, paced to the three of them with his hands behind his back, stood silently, and then looked at the three of them with a pair of mouse-like eyes: "Grandpa has solved not a thousand but eight hundred cases in his life, this kind of lost silver case, if you want to solve it, it is effortless!" But! ”

As he spoke, Li Zhutou crossed the three of them, came to the front and knelt on the ground, nervously trembling in front of the shopkeeper and said: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, the Sprinkle family is also rare to be kind, if the silver is stolen and runs back, grandpa will forgive this thief for stealing, otherwise, hehe, what shopkeeper, do you know how this thief will be dealt with by grandpa?" ”

Shopkeeper He is forty years old and has lived for most of his life, and the yamen in this yamen naturally knows how to use black means to rectify the prisoners, so he shuddered inexplicably and said: "I know, I know, the villain naturally knows!" ”

"Good! Now that you know, grandpa, I won't say more, what, you get up first! I'll get busy when I'm done, and I'll talk to you when Grandpa leaves!" ”

The people at the inn left, and in this lobby, there were only the guests who came to stay at the hotel.

For these people, Li Zhutou just divided the dogs who came with Wang Lin into a wave, and then stood in a bunch.

The dog has also seen Zhao Zhutou solve the case, what isolation and questioning, and then each scrutinize the testimony, whether there are mistakes, omissions and inconsistencies, and then continue to interrogate until a flaw is found and the case is solved, but the Li Zhutou in front of him did not block the scene of the crime first, nor did he restrict the suspect's activities, just a threat, and then questioned one by one, even if it was an interrogation, it was also asked in front of everyone.

For example, ask the dog, "What have you done today?" ”

The dog happily said that he went outside to find a house today, and for the sake of the case, the dog also kindly told the time and place, as well as the people he met, in great detail.

"Good! In this way, Zhao Xiaoguan will go back to the room for the time being, and a certain family will send someone to invite you down in a while. ”

The dog didn't know what he was going to do, but for the sake of the case, he had to lead a few people back to the house.

After the dog left, Li Zhutou asked several more people, and after they had witnesses or could prove that they were not suspected of committing crimes, these people were also invited back to the room.

This kind of questioning is naturally very fast, and the sixteen people of Longzhou and the servants and scholars they brought have already finished their questioning in just half an hour, and all of them have returned to their respective rooms.

The remaining wave of ordinary hotel guests, Li Zhutou took the hotel registration book, as well as the road guides on their bodies, and asked them one by one what happened to Lin'an.

After a long time, these people also left the hall one after another and returned to their respective rooms.

This time, the people who were originally gathered in the lobby were left with Wang Lin.

Wang Lin looked at Li Zhutou, who was looking down and pondering, and even suspected that this guy was a good thing, this suspect was gone, could it be that he had become a suspect?

cough, just when Wang Lin wanted to step forward and ask him how to solve this case next, Li Zhutou coughed and opened his mouth first.

"That Wang Juren, although this case is a bit confusing, but it is still under control, and the weather is not early today, I think you don't have the heart to eat for this matter, right? So the villain cheekily wants to invite you out and have two drinks, how about it? ”

This......

Wang Lin talked about his tone, the case has not been solved yet, this person actually went to Zhang Luo to invite wine first, what does it mean?

Wang Lin frowned and thought, Li Zhutou arched his hands and looked at him.

After a long time, he said: "Wang Juzi, don't worry, the villain will help you find the lost money!" ”

With his words, Wang Lin didn't know what to say, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go together, but Li Zhutou, can you really help me get back the silver I lost?" ”

Hey, hey, hey!

Li Zhutou nodded with a smile and said, "Naturally! ”

He was so sure that Wang Lin could say anything, so he said, "In this case, then let's go!" ”

When the dog in the house heard that Wang Lin followed Li Zhutou out to eat and drink, he thought that the stolen silver had been recovered, and he was very impressed by Li Zhutou's miraculous method of solving the case, so he pulled Da Lang and Yang Xiaoxiu, and excitedly guessed how Li Zhutou solved the case.

Slowly, more and more people came around to chat, and the topic of discussion was also guessing who the culprit was and how the money was recovered.

During this period, a few people even made up for Li Zhutou's magical methods to solve the case, not to mention, what they said was really like a matter of a while.

Chatting and chatting, the topic is not new, the most important thing is that Wang Lin never came back, there were a few lifters who said that they went back to review their homework, and slowly people walked away, the dog was the last to go, before leaving, in addition to a Longzhou lifter in the lobby, the remaining two are ordinary residents, one is arguing with the shopkeeper to leave, the shopkeeper is embarrassed and said, "There has been a theft, the thief has not been caught, how to leave!" ”

The resident said: "Isn't the case closed, all the money has been recovered, and the owner has gone to drink, what else is there to investigate?" ”

The shopkeeper never allowed it, and the two of them quarreled on the counter.

The dog was too lazy to meddle with his business, so he went back to the room with Hatche.

There was nothing to do all night, and after dawn, the dog thought about it, so he went out with a roar, and went to find Wang Lin first, but there was still no one in his house, and he didn't bring a servant, so the dog went to ask the left and right people, and they said that Wang Lin's house didn't move all night, and the dog went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said he didn't know.

While talking, there are two guests who want to check out.

Shopkeeper He calculated the house money for them, settled the accounts, and let them go.

The dog wondered.

Is this going to let people go? Could it be that the case is really closed? I was really confused, but no matter what happened to me, the dog said hello to the shopkeeper, and continued to go out with a few big men to look for a rent.

At the end of the day, I was tired and my legs hurt and I still couldn't find a suitable house, so I went back to the inn.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Lin holding a black cloth money bag in his hand, and he was excitedly saying something to the people around him.

Look at this, what else does the dog not understand.

He happily walked over and said, "Brother Wang, have you found the money back?" ”

"It's back!" Wang Lin shook the money bag in his hand and said excitedly: "Brother Zhao, haven't you seen that when Li Zhutou led the official errand and suddenly appeared in front of the thief, he was frightened, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, begging for mercy!" ”

The dog is so curious, pull Wang Lin and let him talk to himself.

Although Wang Lin had already said more than ten sides about Li Zhutouzhi's arrest of the little thief, he still wanted to say, so he took the tea handed by the shopkeeper and said:

"The thief, a passing merchant, lived in this shop a day before us, and when he saw that I was not as serious as the other brothers, and always ran out every day, he took the opportunity to open the lock on the door, and entered my house, and naturally found my money by rummaging through the cabinets."

Speaking of this, Wang Lin said with a smile: "If this guy steals the silver and runs away directly, it will really take some effort to catch him, but he thinks that checking out on the spot will attract suspicion, so he stayed for another night." ”

Li Zhutou saw that there was no check-out person yesterday, so he secretly told me and the store that the thief had not left yet, and he had to relax before he would show his feet, so he deliberately created a feeling that the case had been solved, so that the thief secretly thought that the head catcher was a mediocre talent, and then left with confidence today, I never thought that Li Zhutou had already sent someone, secretly followed behind the check-out person, and then followed all the way, seeing this businessman, looking like he was spending a lot of money, he hula surrounded him, and wanted to scare him with momentum. As a result, this businessman was a soft egg and confessed directly! Hahaha. ”
