Chapter 3 General Cat

[The book continues from the above, the last book said that Mu Qingming chatted with the guys, and learned that the recent thefts in the city were all committed by a thief, and the thieves actually gave the stolen money to the poor people in the city. After Zhao Liang returned to the provincial hall, he immediately received a report. The gold shop on the Biji shop was stolen again. Zhao Liang, who hurried to the scene, saw that there was no trace left in the store, and thought that there was a possibility of a ghost committing a crime. Led out of Zhao Liangjin's store to find clues, carefully observed for a long time, and found a strand of golden hair next to the cabinet with locked gold and in the gap between the floor tiles, but I didn't know what animal this strand of hair came from. After Mu Qing got off work, he was about to eat when he returned home when there was a knock on the courtyard door. Ah Hong went to open the courtyard door, and saw a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes, standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile. 】

The sun gradually rose, melting away the slight cold and coldness that remained between heaven and earth after the night, and also evaporated the morning dew left on the exposed stone slabs.

In front of the gold shop of Biji Shop, the crowd around has not dispersed. Not only that, but there are also many hawkers who carry flat burdens on their shoulders, so they simply support their stalls nearby. While watching the bustle, while doing business, this place is even more lively.

Zhao Liang, one with two large heads, paced forward in the gold shop where the sun carved flowers on the window lattice, sprinkling mottled silhouettes, walked to the counter of the gold shop, and stood in front of the gold cabinet inlaid under the floor tiles.

The tiles that covered it had been lifted, but the gold cabinet embedded in the ground had not been opened, and was still locked. After the count, the guy who guarded the key locked it again.

This is also human nature, although there are police officers in this store now, but there is gold in it, if you just open the cabinet door and ignore it, can you not guarantee that the policeman will not fight for 20 or 30 years less, with the idea of seeking wealth and danger, and take a piece of two pieces.

The large black iron cabinet gradually lay in the deep pit of the rectangular underground. Zhao Liang stared at the golden cabinet, stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

But when he saw that there was indeed no trace of damage to the cabinet door and lock, he frowned and pondered.

Not only is it a gold cabinet with gold locked, but there is not the slightest trace of outsiders forcibly entering the huge storefront.

He squatted down, looked at the gold cabinet at his feet more carefully, and asked the policeman who was following him: "The guy in the store has an explanation, when did you lose the gold?" ”。

"They said it should have been last night, because the inventory before the closing last night showed that the gold was still a lot of pounds and taels, and it was also in line with the accounts. And the key never left the steward's side, until the store was opened this morning, and when the routine count was made, it was found that there was a lot of gold missing. The policeman who was asked replied thoughtfully: "But the three guys who were on duty in the store all said that there was no abnormality at night in the store; Still, we doubt them. ”。

"Suspicion is right, but it's unlikely that the guy on duty at night." Zhao Liang then looked at the golden cabinet and said slowly: "If they commit a crime, they shouldn't wait for us to arrest them, and it is most reasonable to think of a way out and run away." ”。

After finishing speaking, Zhao Liang reached out and fiddled with the copper lock on the gold cabinet, so that the lock cylinder was facing him, and he didn't see any scratches near the lock cylinder. Obviously, the thief also used a key to open the lock, or a clever way to open the lock.

It's just that the shape of the lock in front of me has become square, it is a Lijiang copper lock known as "the general does not get off the horse", which is made by the locksmiths of the Naxi people in Lijiang, and the minority people call it the Tibetan lock. This was the most reliable lock at that time, this kind of lock could not be removed after the lock was opened, and the key could not be removed only after the lock was locked, so he became a general and did not dismount. And without a key, it is difficult to open the lock unless it is forcibly smashed.

There are all kinds of indications that most of the theft of the gold store was committed by internal ghosts. But Zhao Liang also knew that it was very likely that it was done by strange people like Immortal Dao. After being together with Mu Qingming for a long time, Zhao Liang also knew that for the Immortal Dao, it would be easy to escape through a wall.

The locks on this golden chest are afraid and difficult to overcome those strange people.

It's just that Zhao Liang still has to take the guys back, take some time to interrogate them one by one, and rule out the possibility of the ghost committing the crime, so that he can completely suspect that it is a stranger.

And Zhao Liang felt that these scenes in front of him always reminded him of the thief who had gone viral recently.

The rich man's house that the guy had stolen was like this, there was no trace of ingress, the locks were not broken, and even the housekeepers on night duty did not find anything abnormal. It seems to come without a trace, and go without a trace, like a gust of wind.

The rest of the police are still doing the final investigation. Some police officers are already preparing to bring all the guys in the store who can enter and leave the gold store back to the provincial police station.

And, of course, the craftsmen in the shop.

After looking at the golden cabinet for a long time, Zhao Liang, who had not gained anything, stood up and looked around again. A policeman came over with a police hat in his hand, fanned the wind, and whispered to him, "Detective, the guys have all gathered, will you take them back now?" ”。

"Well, after bringing them back, I'll visit the Biji shop and ask the nearby residents, if there was any change last night?" Zhao Liang nodded, and after answering, he was about to step forward and walk towards the outside of the store.

He lifted his foot, but before the sole of his shoe hit the ground, he froze in place.

Zhao Liang, who has been doing criminal investigation work for a long time, also has a pair of eyes as sharp as eagle eyes. In terms of observation, he is no less than Mu Qingming, who is obviously in his twenties, but has lived for more than three hundred years.

Just before Zhao Liang was about to settle down, he suddenly saw a handful of golden hairs in the cracks of the floor tiles on the side of the gold cabinet. Not long or short, at most less than an inch by eye.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too conspicuous because it was golden, I was afraid that Zhao Liang would be difficult to find.

Zhao Liang hurriedly withdrew his feet, and after squatting down, he reached out and carefully picked up a small handful of hair from the cracks in the floor tiles, and gently twisted his fingers, feeling that the hair was still very smooth. But after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see what kind of animal hair it was.

It's just that Zhao Liang always felt that there was no food and ingredients stored in this store, and it was very unlikely that small animals ran in and left them. The more Zhao Liang looked at the hair, maybe there would be some mystery.

So he took out the paper bag he was carrying, and carefully put the handful of golden yellow hair into the paper bag......

As the sun sets, the sunset spreads out in the sky, casting a gorgeous glow.

Smoke curled up all over the city, spreading clouds of smoke in the glow. Mu Qingming accompanied the cool evening breeze, slowly moving forward, towards the middle of Shala Alley.

In today's warehouse, there are many goods in the warehouse, and they are all busy until sunset, and Mu Qingming came back. In the past, when the sun was in the west, he was already home.

Walking to the front of the small courtyard of the Mu family, the yin wind danced lightly, and the fragrance of fish and shrimp in the courtyard swept out of the courtyard wall. Mu Qingming stood in front of the courtyard gate, moved his nose and sniffed the fragrance wafting out of the wind, and a pleasant expression appeared on his face.

He stretched out his hand and patted the door, and after a while, Mo Han's voice came from the courtyard: "Here, who is it?" ”。

"Me." Mu Qingming replied simply.

After a while, the courtyard door opened, and Mo Han, who was wearing an apron on his waist, greeted him with a smile: "Why did you come back?" ”。

"The warehouse is preparing a batch of goods, so it's a little busy." Mu Qingming didn't complain, just casually answered and walked into the courtyard. And Mo Han immediately closed the courtyard door.

Mu Qingming was in the courtyard, and after carefully washing his hands and face, he walked to the main hall. Miao Tian and Ah Hong have already returned from work, and on the table of the Eight Immortals in the main room, the fish and shrimp soup that has just been cooked has been placed, which is very light.

The little corpse baby, who had just learned to walk, walked over step by step and hugged Mu Qingming's thigh. Looking up at him, he showed a grinning smile, and the four fangs that grew out of his mouth suddenly appeared.

Mu Qingming leaned over, picked him up, and let Hanquan sit on his lap.

"Master, the thieves in the city have committed another crime." Mu Qingming let Hanquan sit firmly, and Ah Hong, who was on the other side, couldn't wait to say to him, and said with great interest: "I heard from the workers this afternoon that the gold shop on the Biji shop was stolen again. As with the previous stolen shop, there was no sign of entry and no locks were broken. ”。

Mu Qingming was slightly stunned when he heard this, and while his eyes widened slightly, his pupils shrank slightly: "It can't be the Tang family's gold shop, right?" ”。

There is a gold shop on the Biji shop, and Mu Qingming of course immediately thinks of the Tang family's gold shop.

"Yes." After taking the rice bowl handed by Miaoyu, Ah Hong nodded his head.

"Heh, this thief is so daring." Mu Qingming picked up a piece of fish meat and blew it, used his hand to remove the fish bones inside, carefully began to remove them one by one, and continued to sigh in his mouth: "The background of the gold shop, the power is not small, this thief is also bold, and he should also say that he will steal from the shop of the distant relatives of the king of Yunnan, and there is also a kind." ”。

Although he had only heard about it, he was not sure whether it was the thief who had committed the crime recently, but Mu Qingming still admired it from the bottom of his heart for the person who touched the Tang family's gold shop.

If they were strange people, they would not have to look at the faces of the secular bureaucrats. But if this thief was a mortal, then Mu Qingming would admire such a person even more.

After all, people who dare to provoke the powerful are too rare.

"Ah Hong, as the young master said, this matter is not under our control, so don't worry about it." Miao Tian glanced at Ah Hong, who was full of interest, and after coughing, he said a little much: "So you can just listen to it, but don't interfere." Now that this guy has touched the Tang family's gold shop again, we shouldn't interfere. ”。

The interest on Ah Hong's face faded, and he nodded slowly and said yes.

"Let's just wait and see." Seeing that Ah Hong was a little lost, Mu Qingming added with a slight smile.

He had barely finished his sentence when he heard a knock at the door outside. There is a degree of priority, but it is not as fierce as Zhao Liang. So Mu Qingming picked up the rice bowl, and Ah Hong, who was about to eat, gave him a look and motioned him to open the door to see who it was?

Ah Hong then got up and headed out of the house.

After a while, he asked, "Who?" Ah Hong, he stood behind the courtyard gate and stretched out his hand to open the vermilion door.

As soon as the door opened, the evening breeze outside the door rolled up a strange fragrance, which came to the nose. As soon as he looked at it, Ah Hong saw that this strange fragrance was coming from the beautiful woman with a radiant face opposite him. The woman was dressed in a yellow shirt, with golden hair fluttering in the wind, a beautiful woman with white snowy skin, a pair of turquoise eyes on both sides of her high nose on her face.

At first glance, Ah Hong was stunned.

Just when he was stunned, this smiling beautiful woman had already spoken, and said delicately: "I am the cat general, under the guidance of the masters, I came to visit your young master." ”。

What is General Cat? Who instructed this beautiful woman? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
