Chapter 207: Stealing People!
A dark shadow came up to him, and he had climbed up directly from the wall in the backyard.
The two guards standing outside the door were drowsy, and there were people upstairs and downstairs who had handled them, and they had been relatively calm all along, so naturally, it was easy to lower their vigilance.
At this moment, someone took advantage of the situation.
A dark shadow sneaked into Li Jicai's room, and Li Jicai's window was not closed tightly, leaving a slight gap.
In the dark, he shoved something under the window, so that when he pushed the window, it didn't make the usual "creaking" sound.
This black figure is extremely thin, very thin. It looks much shorter than the average person, and is closer to a child's size.
Because he was very careful in his movements, he did not alarm the guards outside.
I saw him touch quietly, and after entering the room, he went straight to the bed.
Li Jicai had been watching by the window for two days, and in the hidden place, the man in black had also observed her for two days.
After confirming that this person was Li Jicai, and after confirming that this person lived in this room, he took advantage of the third watch in the evening to touch Mimi.
Someone asked for Li Jicai's life, he was in the mercenary business, and he was usually a Jiangyang thief, stealing gold, silver and jewelry, it was not a problem, stealing people was still quite challenging, and the risk was extremely high, if he was discovered, he was afraid not to mention those tall and sturdy guards.
Even if he is as light as a swallow, he is still naturally weak when he really uses martial arts.
It's just that the price offered by his employer is so high that he is tempted.
When he has done the business, he can go back to the village with the money.
Petty thieves can't make much money, when he came out, he was also determined to do a big career, but there was no way, helpless, so he had to move his crooked mind and become a gentleman on the beam.
It was the first time he had stolen someone.
His employer's meaning was also very simple, to steal this woman named Li Jicai and give it to him.
As for what he will do with this woman after handing it over to him, it is none of his business.
The shadow had prepared the drugged cloth and put the cloth over the woman's face before she could scream.
He approached Li Jicai lightly, worried that she would suddenly move, but unexpectedly Li Jicai did not move at all, and by the moonlight, he could see that her face and eyes were closed, and there was no change because of his approach.
This man in black is a Jiangyang thief hired by people, his name is Wu Mian, and he is from Chagouzi Village.
Because the village was too poor, there was no hope of cultivating those few acres of thin fields, so Wu Mian ran out of the village, thinking about getting some money outside, and then returning to the village.
Li Jicai's breathing was steady and even, and even her eyelashes did not flutter.
Originally, he thought that if this woman showed signs of waking up, he would directly slash her unconscious with a knife.
But what made Wu Mian a little speechless was that this woman really slept to death, she couldn't move, she didn't turn over when she slept, she was honestly curled up together, and she looked a little pitiful.
But it's okay to make it easier for him to plunder.
Wu Mian leaned down slightly, then stretched out his hands, and then gently hugged Li Jicai.
During the whole process, Li Jicai was quite cooperative.
Sleeping, exhaling like an orchid, Wu Mian lowered his head and was a little nervous, smelling this heart-shaking breath, he almost couldn't hold it and let go.
After all, it was the first time he had come into contact with a woman so closely.
Usually when he was in the village, he would feel shy and overwhelmed when talking to the girl, and he would blush for a long time, and then be teased by the people in the same village.
In this way, Wu Mian successfully stole Li Jicai out.
The person who was picked up by the employer was about two streets away from the inn, because he was afraid that if this Jiangyang thief was unreliable and was discovered, he would be involved.
So when Wu Mian took Li Jicai out, he had to walk a distance.
Fortunately, Li Jicai is not particularly heavy, so he can still hold it. This woman is very thin, as if there is only a handful of bones left on her body, and the feel to the touch is like this, and her face is under the background of the moonlight, and she can still see that she looks quite delicate.
Wu Mian didn't think much about it, he just wanted to hand over Li Jicai to his employer as soon as possible, and then exchange it for a commission.
In this way, he can take the money and leave, and then withdraw from this matter as soon as possible. After all, he's just a petty thief.
Looking at this woman, it is estimated that her identity is not simple, and there is a guard handle downstairs. And these guards are not like the minions of those ordinary people's homes, but more like well-trained officers and soldiers.
Wu Mian was a little scared, for fear that he had provoked someone he shouldn't provoke.
So he even felt a little regretful about taking over this business, in case he got into trouble after tracking it down, he didn't get meat to eat, and he got into a fishy shame.
Wu Mian took Li Jicai down from the backyard, and just walked about a hundred steps, when a loud noise suddenly sounded behind him.
Hurried footsteps came from all directions, and it was even possible to tell which direction the eclipse was coming from.
Wu Mian was already a little panicked when he did something wrong, but now he saw that there were chasing soldiers coming behind him, and he was even more flustered in his heart, so he ran away with Li Jicai in his arms.
Coincidentally, not long after Li Jicai was stolen by Wu Mian, Cheng Cheng suddenly remembered that there was something he wanted to explain to Li Jicai, but he forgot to say it during the day, so he temporarily knocked on Li Jicai's door again, wanting to explain the matter to her, because after all, he was going to leave for the capital tomorrow.
However, when Cheng Cheng knocked on the door for a long time and no one answered, he realized that something was wrong and rushed in directly.
The guards hurriedly brought the candlestick, because it was dark in Li Jicai's room, and they watched the candle flame being extinguished, thinking that Li Jicai was asleep, so they didn't think much about it.
After the candlelight illuminated the room, it also shone on the bed, and it was empty.
Cheng Cheng couldn't help but be furious, and yelled at the two guards: "Why don't you send someone to find it quickly?!" ”
The guards ran downstairs in a trembling voice, and hurriedly went to greet the other brothers and hurry to find someone.
Cheng Cheng walked to the side of the bed, and then touched the bed with his hand, and found that the residual temperature was still there, indicating that the person had just left, and if he wanted to chase it, he should still be able to catch up.
Because of the loud movement upstairs, they had already fallen asleep, and the two sisters, Biyu and Biluo, were also awakened, hurriedly dressed, and came out to check, only to learn that Li Jicai was missing!
It's gone?!
Cheng Cheng carefully inspected Li Jicai's room and concluded that the person who came in through the window, and the other party was very cunning, pressing cotton under the window and pouring oil.
It is impossible to tell if the person who came was one person or several people.
But in terms of climbing footprints, there are only one person's footprints.
And the man's footprints were small, almost the size of a child.
Could it be some kind of strange man? Will the little ones be able to get in? And for what reason did he target Li Jicai?
The rest didn't have time to think about it, Cheng Cheng checked it a little, and then went straight down from the window, the second floor was not too high.
He was indeed a little negligent, and he should have placed people to guard him in the backyard, that is, under Li Jicai's window, but because when Li Jicai looked at the scenery, he always said that those guards were in the way of their eyes and drove them away, and now they are suffering from their own bitter fruits.
It's too late to say this now, Cheng Cheng relied on his instincts and rushed in one direction, while the other guards were well-trained and searched in all directions.
They all carry torches in their hands, because they are members of the official family, so they can carry out their official duties in the dark without fear, and will not be arrested by the government for disturbing the peace.
No one could have imagined that they would leave tomorrow, and at this critical juncture, Li Jicai was robbed.
Having said that, Wu Mian noticed that the other party had discovered that Li Jicai was missing, and then rushed out to look for Li Jicai, and he was also panicked.
Because the other party is outnumbered, once he is caught. It's almost a dead end, either at the hands of those people, or in the prison of the government.
At this time, Wu Mian didn't dare to take Li Jicai to his employer, so it was better to take Li Jicai to hide first.
Because Wu Mian flies the eaves and walks on the wall all the year round, he steals everywhere in this Jinzhou City, and naturally has prepared many temporary shelters.
The so-called cunning rabbit three caves are just in case of emergency, and he has been a skilled thief in Jinzhou City for the past three years.
In the backyard of the first family on the right corner near the street camera, there is a large abandoned water tank, which is full of weeds, growing about a person's height.
Wu Mian decided to take Li Jicai to hide in this big water tank almost without thinking, and there was another mystery in this big water tank.
There is a big stone under the bottom of the jar, and under the stone is a coffin-sized cave, Wu Mian can get into it, but Li Jicai can't get in.
The reason why this family's backyard was abandoned was actually because the people who lived in it couldn't take care of it.
The people who lived in it were an old and blind couple, and they could not recognize who was who when they stood in front of them, and even if they walked near the water tank, they would not look inside, and they would not take a second look at the inside of the tank, and the inside of the tank was full of lush weeds.
Therefore, this place has become extremely safe, and Wu Mian himself is also clever, so it is the best choice to choose this place in the face of this situation.
In addition, he rushed hard, and when he arrived at the backyard where the water tank was, he directly threw Li Jicai up, and threw him from the wall to the wall and fell to the ground heavily, making a dull "poof" sound.
Wu Mian shrugged his shoulders in fright, lest he be heard. But fortunately he ran fast, and those people were not able to catch up in time.
It's dangerous, it's really dangerous!
