Chapter 219: Catching the Thief
Unable to find any valuable clues at the scene of the theft, Tang Ming had to turn back to the training ground to find Lao He to carefully understand the details at that time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but when asked, Lao He was also confused, and he couldn't say a reason at all.
Everyone had already been sorted together, but Tang Ming had a feeling of not knowing what to do at the moment, after all, he was also blind to solving the case, and he didn't understand anything. The fuss was still clueless, which made Tang Ming very annoyed.
Tang Ming glanced at everyone and found that some of these people were only wearing thin underwear, while some were in good condition, obviously these people should not have fallen asleep at this time, or they had not taken off their clothes when they slept.
These people who didn't even take off their clothes when they slept were very likely to commit crimes in Tang Ming's mind, and at present, he had no other way but to ask Lao He to separate these people first.
Lao He has long lost his opinion, he will do whatever Tang Ming says, the drawings of the treasure ship have been lost, if they can't be recovered, this is a big crime! It's not that he alone can afford it, if he is guilty of the people in the family because of this, then he will die and be responsible.
There were less than a hundred people sleeping in clothes, and Lao He quickly pulled them out, and all of them stood in front of Tang Ming, waiting anxiously for what Hou Ye wanted them to do next?
Tang Ming didn't let them do anything, but carefully observed one by one, this thief was obviously a master, and there were almost no clues left at the scene of the crime. Tang Ming wants to solve the case, and he can only use the details as a breakthrough.
As the saying goes, if people don't know unless they do nothing, no matter how powerful the thief is, as long as he commits a crime, there will inevitably be negligence, and now he has not found anything, just because he has not found the negligence of the thief.
Nearly 100 people looked at them one by one, Tang Ming first eliminated more than 50, and the remaining 30 were taken directly to a room, Tang Ming suddenly ordered a search of their whole body. The treasure ship drawings were such an important thing, Tang Ming guessed that after the thieves got their hands, they would naturally keep it close to their bodies, and the more than 50 people who had been eliminated just now did not find anything from them.
The last hope is all here, Tang Ming is like a gambler who has lost red-eyed at the moment, and his red eyes are all on this one. When he gave the order, he paid special attention to a thin middle-aged man.
When the first group of people were searched, the guy panicked for a moment, but he quickly hid again. I don't know if it was his bad luck or Tang Ming's luck, the fleeting nervousness of the middle-aged man happened to be caught in Tang Ming's eyes.
If you don't do something wrong, even if the ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night, his abnormal performance shocked Tang Ming's spirit, and he began to pay attention to him intentionally or unintentionally. But the more calm this guy became, the more Tang Ming felt that there was something wrong with him.
This guy doesn't know if it's because of his weak heart or what's wrong, he is too calm at the moment, and he doesn't even have the most basic nervousness. The other people were all nervous from the time they were brought to this room, because they didn't know what Tang Ming had called them here for? Only the middle-aged man stood stupidly with an expressionless face.
Soon it was the turn of the middle-aged man to search his body, Tang Ming let out a sneer, stopped the soldiers who were about to go up to search his body, and ordered Li Ba to go up in person. Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man suddenly let out a low sigh, reached out and took off his shabby cotton coat, handed it to Tang Ming, and fell to the ground with a plop.
"What Hou Ye is looking for is in this cotton clothes, the villain begs Hou Ye to spare Xiao's life, and the villain is willing to say who wants me to steal something!"
Tang Ming didn't expect such a change, but he was nervous about the drawings of the treasure ship, as for what to do with this person, it was not too late to talk about it later. grabbed the tattered cotton coat with one hand, Tang Ming grabbed it all over and over again but still didn't find where the drawings were hidden.
However, Li Ba simply took out the saber on his waist and dismembered the cotton clothes in three or two clicks, and the drawings wrapped in strips of cloth were hidden in the cotton. Unwrapping the hand-drawn drawings that came to view, Tang Ming checked them very carefully, and found that there were actually a few missing.
His face changed, and he shouted to the middle-aged man, "Where are a few more hidden ones, take them out quickly." ”
Tang Ming's hideous expression frightened the middle-aged man's face pale, and he kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy: "Master Hou spare his life, the villain was just hired by someone to steal this drawing, in order to ensure that the villain can get all the commissions safely in the future, a few of them will be returned after ensuring the safety of the villain." The villain begged Hou Ye to spare Xiao's life, as long as Xiao was safe, he would definitely return those drawings to Hou Ye. ”
Ah! He also dared to talk to himself about the conditions, and knew how to hide part of it to save his life, it seems that this guy has done this kind of thing before. After being angry, Tang Ming also figured it out, leaving this guy alive first and finding out the people behind the scenes is what he should do at this moment.
"Who hired you to steal the drawings, say it, Master Hou, I will spare your life." After calming down, Tang Ming suddenly whispered.
The middle-aged man observed Tang Ming carefully, as if he was measuring the credibility of his words, but he still had hidden drawings in his hand. Seeing that Tang Ming was so nervous, these drawings still relaxed a little in his heart.
"Hou Ye, the little one is called Lai San, he lives in Suzhou City and usually makes a living by stealing something, a few days ago suddenly a man in black found the small one, promised me a lot of money to sneak in and steal the drawings, and made an appointment to wait for him in the land temple outside Nanjing City after the good thing was completed, saying that there will naturally be someone to meet with the small one, and the villain now does not know who this person is, in order to get the commission that the villain should get smoothly and safely, so he hid a few sheets."
The person behind the scenes is so mysterious, judging from the fact that he can know that the drawings of the treasure ship were handed over to Lao He by himself, there should be someone in this who is guilty. It seems that this treasure shipyard needs to be cleaned up, or there will be endless troubles!
As soon as the drawings change hands, they are known and must not be taken lightly, but must be handled with care. And this behind-the-scenes instigator must also be found out as soon as possible. Tang Ming simply agreed to Lai San's request to spare him a small life, and he had to stay by his side to do things for him later.
Lai San didn't expect that he could still be taken in by Hou Ye, and after thanking him happily, he actively cooperated with Tang Ming to find out the instigator behind the scenes. Tang Ming's first suspicion was the merchants, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
Because even if these merchants had the blueprints for the treasure ship, they were not able to build them, and the drawings were just a chicken in their hands, and they could not do anything and might bring them ruin. A businessman as shrewd as a fox would never do such a thankless task. (To be continued.) )
