Chapter 8 The Great Iron Cauldron

It's a rare opportunity to eat alone with Shen Yu, and I tried hard to create a topic: "This dish is still to your liking, right?" ”

"Of course. You know my tastes well enough. She spoke quietly, and she couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or a teasing. Her eyes were staring through the window glass, staring out into the alley.

The street lights in the alley are dim, and passers-by occasionally pass by.

I saw her frown slowly.

"What's wrong? Not tasty? I asked.

"No, I think the guy who walked over just now is very strange, he must have stolen something."

I hurriedly followed the sound and looked out, the alley was very long, and I vaguely saw a person sneaking around not far ahead, and after walking a few steps, I looked around vigilantly.

"I'll go out and have a look." I volunteered to get up and walk outside.

"Hey, that guy is dangerous!" I heard Shen Yu shouting behind me.

I walked past the counter and the boss was sitting at the counter and he looked at me.

"I'll be back in a moment to check out." I explained.

The boss didn't speak, just smiled.

I walked quickly out of the door of the "Hitoyoshiya" and hurried forward.

The man in front of him had a high bulge on his back, and he didn't know if he was hunched over or carrying something. I walked on tiptoe, against the wall, and followed him as closely as I could.

The man walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and looked back habitually.

I had no experience in tracking, so I had to hide behind the green plants in front of the store in a panic, who knew that I didn't care about it, and I hit the signboard sticking out of the side of the store, and the signboard "banged" and flickered.

Who knew that as soon as the guy heard this movement, he suddenly ran like a frightened bird.

I have been exposed at this time, there is no other way, since that guy is a thief, it means that he must be behind the matter, I have to stride after him.

The two of us were two or three hundred meters apart, but the man ran with great difficulty.

For some reason, I suddenly had a strange feeling that this person's steps looked very similar to those of the visitors from Hell who had visited me at the company.

But I quickly dismissed the idea, the Visitors to Hell were a cripple with a prosthetic leg, and this person had normal legs and feet, so they were not alone.

Where did the visitors from hell go? - I shook my head, trying to dispel any superfluous thoughts, and the first priority was to catch up with this guy as soon as possible.

I didn't have any motor cells, but the more I chased him, the more confident I became, but when I was about to catch up, the man suddenly stopped and turned to face me.

I saw him holding a glittering dagger in his hand.

"Don't come here!" He shouted at me in a particularly hoarse, high-pitched voice, and gestured at me with his knife.

He wears a huge mask on his face, and I can't make out what he looks like, but judging by the shape of his head and face, this guy is definitely not that hell visitor.

Anyway, Shen Yu was right again, this guy was so flustered, and he was still holding a murder weapon, it seemed that he must be either a traitor or a thief.

"You put down the guy!" I shouted at him.

He ignored it. Still moving slowly with the dagger, he looked like he was aiming at my throat.

That is, the person is ready to kill.

I remembered the words that Shen Yu shouted when I ran out - "He is dangerous!" ”

I don't know how Shen Yu judged it, but this person is indeed dangerous.

I'm defenseless now, and I'm going to suffer if I want to be tough with him, and besides, I'm not a practitioner, and I haven't taken advantage of fights since I was a child.

I didn't want to make a move lightly, lest I run out of skills, so I had to glance around with the rest of my eyes.

At this time, I noticed that there were still a pile of flower pots stacked up next to me, so I thought about it and came up with an idea.

I immediately deliberately lowered my right hand and reached for the leg of my pants.

"Put down the knife, I'm a cop!" I suddenly yelled at him.

The guy thought I was going to pull out a gun, and he shrugged his shoulders in a hurry, only to hear a bang, and a huge thing fell to the ground behind him.

I was stunned for a moment, and just in the middle of the carbide firelight, the man raised his knife and pounced on him with his teeth and claws.

Luckily, I had prepared in advance, so I turned to the left, grabbed a flower pot and threw it at him.

The man was presumably staring at my right hand with all his attention, not believing the flower pot smashed on his left, which was smashed firmly on his body, and he took two steps back with a sigh and sat on the ground.

I took the opportunity to quickly pick up another flower pot and threw it at it, and then he was on guard and rolled on the spot to dodge.

By this time I was passive, and he jumped to his feet, took the dagger, and stabbed at me with a scream.

"Don't move! The police! Suddenly two shouts came from the other side of the alley.

The guy was taken aback, and I looked up to see that Shen Yu and the boss of Renjiya also chased after him.

It seems that the hero sees the same thing, and they also want to pretend to be a police officer to scare him. The man estimated that his two fists were invincible to his four hands, so he immediately turned around and fled towards the alley at the other end.

Shen Yu and the boss didn't chase after her, she rushed to me and asked, "How is it?" You okay? Didn't I say that guy was dangerous? ”

"It's okay," I pretended to be grinning, but my heart was terrified, "how do you know he's dangerous?" ”

"He looked around as he walked, looking on guard, and his right hand was trembling in his pocket of his clothes, and he must have a murder weapon in his pocket."

I looked at the owner of Hitoyoshiya, who came over and patted me on the shoulder.

"I knew Teacher Shen before, she once did a big favor in the store, and I owe her a favor." The boss said.

It dawned on me: "So I brought her for a meal, and then I was able to book a table every time, is that the reason?" ”

The boss smiled: "That's the extra seat for you and Teacher Shen." ”

Shen Yu walked over to the thing that the guy had left in the alley, and I walked over too, the thing was in a snakeskin bag, it was very big and round, and it seemed to be the thing that the man was carrying behind his back.

I crouched down and pulled the snakeskin pocket open, and all three of us were stunned.

What was lying in the snakeskin pocket turned out to be a black, dirty, greasy iron pot!

I took the pot out, and it looked like it was used every day, and my hands were covered in oily black charcoal. I tried to find some other clues in the snakeskin pocket, but there was nothing but the cauldron in it.

Shen Yu frowned, she looked at the boss and said, "Can you put this pot here for a while, I think it may be useful later." ”

The boss looked at the pot and smiled: "Such a big pot, it looks like it's used in some canteen." It's a bit big in my kitchen, but it should fit in the backyard. ”

"Don't let that guy steal again." I say.

"No, since he is willing to throw it away, he will not steal it back." Shen Yu said lightly, but I could still read something from her eyebrows, which was a look of confusion that I rarely saw.

At this moment, my mobile phone rang suddenly, I hurriedly searched for the phone, but I couldn't find it, and when I looked up again, I found that the phone was in Shen Yu's hand.

She handed me her phone: "When I was chasing that person just now, your phone fell into the alley, and I picked it up for you." ”

I took the phone and found that it was Lin Ying calling.

"Hey," she shouted anxiously, "Is Shen Yu with you?" It's a big case again! Can you persuade her to come to the criminal investigation team quickly? ”

Since it is another big case, we naturally dare not delay.

Fortunately, the owner of Renjiya was very generous, saying that he didn't eat much this time, so let's give him a chance to treat him and exempt our order.

I didn't go back to the restaurant, went directly to the alley, drove Shen Yu and hurried to the criminal investigation team, but as soon as I entered the courtyard of the police station, we saw Shi Chong standing under the locust tree in the courtyard and smoking.

"Another homicide?" Shen Yu asked.

"It's much more serious than killing, didn't I hide and take refuge." Shi Chong said in a tricky way, "The informant said that he knows that there is a famous police officer Shen in the police station who is like a god in solving cases, so you have to be responsible." ”

Hearing this, the two of us hurried upstairs, and as soon as we reached the staircase on the third floor, we heard someone yelling heartbreakingly.
