"The walls and floors are solid, there are no gaps!" Tias repeatedly checked around the trash can.

Not to mention getting through a person, there is not even a gap for rats to pass through. At this time, the two of them only felt a chill down their spines, and instantly became vigilant in all directions around them.

They don't know how the enemy disappeared, but judging by the state of the performance, it is impossible for humans to pass through the walls.

Then, there is likely to be only one result, and that is that the thief they are chasing is likely to be a ghost!

Morpheus instinctively swallowed his saliva, his eyes quickly surveyed the surroundings, and he also had to pay attention to his feet while proposing: "Go back, go to the divine envoy to report, we may not be able to solve this matter!"

"Wait two more days!" Tias replied after weighing for a long time, "I'm going to find out who this guy is!"

In the dead of night, the Otis blacksmith shop was already closed. But in the trading hall at this time, in addition to the dazzling array of various metal products, more than a dozen wealthy merchants of Silver Spring Town in the town hall were also chattering and arguing at this time.

The old man sitting in the center was full of swarthy face, and his thick hands covered with calluses were spread out on the table, ignoring the noise of the crowd, just bowing his head and immersing himself in his own world.

"We need to strengthen our defenses and not rely solely on God's help. ”

"Yes, I agree with this suggestion, but spending too much money on hiring people to guard the property will greatly increase our costs. ”

"It's okay for you to say that my profits from fruit and vegetable trading are too thin, and I'm afraid it will be a little unbearable to increase the cost. ”

"Yes, and I, who is engaged in road transportation, have hundreds of families all year round. If you increase the number of guards, you won't have anything to gain!"

Everyone had their own difficulties, and for a moment they all fell silent.

Suddenly, a middle-aged rich female businesswoman sitting at the front looked at the old blacksmith who had been silent all the time with a strange expression. Her behavior seemed to cause surprise to others, and they even looked at her in unison.

Odys seemed to sense the eerie silence in the room, and seemed to sense the gaze of everyone looking at him. Instantly woke up from his thoughts, and looked around with those eyes that were a little dim but energetic.

He weighed it for a moment with a calm face before he spoke: "I suddenly thought of a solution, but I don't know if it really works." ”

When more than a dozen people heard the old blacksmith's words, their eyes lit up, and they immediately waited for Otis to speak.

Seeing this, Otis sighed deeply: "There are many hunters who have practiced martial arts, retired veterans, and idle and boring little hooligans in the town. What if you could get these people together?"

"Old blacksmith, don't you have to pay for them the same?"

"No!" Otis immediately shook his head in denial, "Our purpose is to catch the thief, not to make them work at home!"

"What do you mean? Isn't it the same to spend money to support them?"

Otis pursed his lips with a serious face: "Actually, you don't have to keep them!"

"What?" Everyone suddenly opened their mouths in surprise, except for a few who lowered their heads in contemplation, most of them showed a trace of inexplicability and confusion.

"Yes!" Otis nodded in acknowledgement, and continued as if talking to himself: "We collectively issue large bounties, but only give them to individuals or groups that actually catch the thief!"

"As for the other people who are busy in vain?" Speaking of this, Otis narrowed his eyes slightly: "I can only blame them for their own bad luck!"

In an instant, everyone felt a ruthless momentum as cold as a knife from the old blacksmith Odis.

It seems that the theft of the ancestral biotite has caused immeasurable huge losses to him, not only in terms of economy. Even the whole person's mentality has undergone earth-shaking changes.

However, from a cost point of view, the proposal made by Otis is very feasible. This way of spending money, which is entirely aimed at achieving results, can save them a lot of employment costs.

In some ways, this "hire" model can be used for other purposes!

"Whew!"

"Smack!" a well-dressed young man was thrown out of the Seven Stars Collection like garbage. Ma Shuo, who was standing on the steps and wearing a doorman costume, clapped his hands: "Hmph! dare to tease our boss, I will break your legs next time!"

After speaking, he turned around and entered the door without hesitation, as for when the young man lying on the ground would be able to get up, Ma Shuo didn't care about this.

"Thrown out?" Carefully fastening the glass cover to the photo frame, Ling Shuang looked at the few banknotes with a little blood stains inside, and her tone was full of flatness and indifference.

Ma Shuo sat down on the chair next to him and nodded: "Well, how many are these? five or six." Looking at the rich and powerful young people, why don't you make a false deal with them?"

"Is that necessary?" After a mouthful of fragrant wind gently blowing the edge of the frame, Ling Shuang replied with a cold smile: "It's just a bunch of live food!"

"Okay. Ling Shuang had already said this, and Ma Shuo didn't bother to explain anything more. But out of prudence, he still admonished: "However, I'm afraid it's not good to keep doing this, or can you be ugly?"

After speaking, seeing that Ling Shuang was fixing the gold and silver coins in the second frame, he didn't pay any attention to his thoughts at all. Ma Shuo had to roll his eyes and continued: "Why don't you stick two moles, or when I leave, you will have to throw them out yourself." ”

Hearing this, Ling Shuang suddenly stopped the movements in his hand and looked up at Ma Shuo with a puzzled face: "Where are you going?"

Ma Shuo smiled and replied, "Of course, I will continue to play hide and seek with this group of divine servants!"

"Good. Hearing Ma Shuo's explanation, Ling Shuang only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement: "The fish crystals on the market are too expensive, just kill a few more." ”

Before he finished speaking, he was immediately stopped by Ma Shuo: "Stop, stop, I know what I should do, and I know what you want to say next." But you've also heard about what happened in Hongchuan, so it's better to keep a low profile if you don't make trouble for yourself!"

Then, Ma Shuo got up and came to Ling Shuang's side, weighed it for a moment before lowering his voice and continuing: "I have a plan for the next time, although I am not in a hurry, but I also need you to help me make a promotion when you are free!"

Seven days later, the City Lord's Mansion of Colorful City, Matthew Wynne, who had dealt with the emergency, finally came here.

At a glance, Tias hurriedly stepped forward, holding a report in both hands and handing it to Wynne to report: "My lord, my subordinates have discovered a new type of ghost in Silverspring Town, and Talos has been missing for nine days, so it is likely that something happened to him!"

Straddled the locomotive and carried the long-handled sledgehammer wrapped in cloth strips on his back, and let the city lord's servants push the locomotive away, Wynne nodded and opened the report in his hand.
