Chapter 108: The Price of Vanity (1)
"Tiger Boss, you're back!"
As soon as Nie Xiaohu, Tang Yibin, and Shi Yuning went out on a business trip to Luoyang, Mao Guangjian screamed as if he had met a savior.
"What? What's wrong? Nie Xiaohu's nerves instinctively tensed.
"Something happened, but it's not big or small," Mao Guangjian gritted his teeth and said, "We still have two soldiers injured!" ”
"Fighting the robbers?!" , Nie Xiaohu was shocked.
"Not really," Mao Guangjian shook his head.
"What the hell is going on!" , Nie Xiaohu glared.
"That's the case", Mao Guangjian hurriedly said, "Just yesterday morning, Sha Liming Sha Yuan did his 60th birthday, and set up a birthday banquet in his own yard, and after the birthday banquet, he listened to the play in the courtyard, and invited the famous Geng family team, which attracted many people to watch the play outside the courtyard, and the Sha Man was also a hospitable person, and he did not refuse, and put the people outside to watch the play together, saying that it was a lively scene, but there were suddenly more than a dozen masked people with swords, bows and crossbows in the crowd. ”
"Blatant robbery in broad daylight?" , Nie Xiaohu's brows were furrowed.
"Not bad at all!" Mao Guangjian nodded and continued, "When we arrived at Sha's house, the robbers had already driven everyone into the house, and we were just about to attack, so we shot countless arrows from the window, and we were caught off guard, and two soldiers were slightly injured, so we could only surround Sha's house and did not attack again."
The robbers shouted from inside the house that if we attacked again, they would kill all the hostages, and we had no choice but to stare outside. ”
Nie Xiaohu frowned and listened, and asked, "What conditions did the robbers mention?" ”
"It's strange here, we plan to negotiate with them, but no matter how much we shout to the house, the robbers just don't know what they want, and we're in a hurry!
They were silent, and we did not dare to attack rashly, so we did it from morning to evening, and then I could not bear it any longer, so I sneaked into the courtyard alone, and when I got to the window, I looked through the hole in the window paper, and the situation in the house almost scared me to death! ”
"The robbers took hostages?" , Nie Xiaohu asked nervously.
"At first I thought so, too, because I saw from the window that the house was full of people, and all of them were lying on the ground, and none of them were standing, and there were no robbers in sight, but I was so frightened that I went straight through the window and opened the door from the inside, and the brothers rushed in.
As soon as we entered the house, everyone was frightened, there were people all over the floor, but there was no trace of blood, we all felt very strange, and then after careful observation, we found that all of them had been poured sweat medicine by the robbers, and they fell asleep, and no one was injured. ”
"Sweat medicine?" , Nie Xiaohu thought about it carefully and asked, "What about the robbers?" ”
"The whole yard has been searched, and even the shadow of half of the robbers has been found", Mao Guangjian pouted and said, "except for the weapons of the robbers found in the kitchen, nothing was found!" ”
"Does the Sha family have a secret passage or something?"
"No, there are only two gates in front and back, and we have surrounded the whole yard to death, and we have not seen a single person run out."
"Hmm!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded, and asked again, "How many belongings have you lost?" ”
"It's strange to say, although the belongings of the people who were hijacked were all looted by the robbers, but we found them under the floor of the hall, and the robbers pried open a few green bricks, dug a pit underneath, and buried all the looted belongings in it, but I can't figure out what the robbers are doing this for, could it be that they still want to come back and get it?"
"It's weird!" , Nie Xiaohu shook his head, "Is there really nothing to lose?" ”
"That's not it, a jeweled ring on the outer hand of Shalimin is missing, the only thing missing is the ring."
"Oh? What kind of ring is it? ”
"According to the sand man, the ring was handed down by his ancestors, the gold ring, which was inlaid with a sapphire the size of a soybean, worth a thousand gold, usually the sand man is hidden tightly, rarely wear it, everyone also knows that there is such a ring outside the sand man, but few people have seen it, this time the sand man did his 60th birthday, everyone said that the sand man will wear the ring this time, so that everyone can see it, but the robbers were recruited, and the ring is gone", Mao Guangjian pouted after speaking.
"So the robbers are obviously going for the ring!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.
"It should be", Mao Guangjian nodded and said, "But Tiger Boss, I can't figure out where the robbers have gone, could it be that they can do stealth?" ”
"Can you use stealth techniques to grab it?" , Nie Xiaohu glanced at Mao Guangjian, "It is clear that the robbers are mixed in the crowd, they have poured sweat medicine into the hostages, and after the hostages have fallen asleep, they will tear off the masks, throw away their weapons, and drink the sweat medicine themselves, so that they can mix out!" ”
"That's what I thought at first, but what about the ring? We have carefully checked all the people present, and none of them have them, but we have divided everyone into two teams, men and women, and stripped and checked in the two wings, not to mention the ring, even if there is a needle hidden in the body, don't want to take it out! ”
"Oh?" , Nie Xiaohu frowned again.
"We searched inside and outside Sha's house, and we didn't even let go of the mouse hole, but we couldn't find the ring, it's really strange!" , Mao Guangjian shook his head again and again.
Nie Xiaohu pondered carefully for a while, and asked, "Have you released everyone?" ”
"It's okay if you let it go, if you don't let it go? The search lasted until midnight, so many people, very emotional, that scene, if I don't let it go, they are going to tear down the house! ”
"The ring must have been taken out, if the ring is still in the Sha family, then isn't the robber doing useless work? But what method did the robbers use? Nie Xiaohu sat on the chair, puzzled.
"Was there anything unusual at the time?"
"Anomalies?" , Mao Guangjian frowned and thought for a while and said, "There is nothing abnormal, I don't know if the chicken, the dog jumps or not?" ”
Mao Guangjian scratched the back of his head and said: "At that time, the yard was in chaos, not long after the robbers entered the house, a group of chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and so on were scurrying around in the yard. ”
"You're an anomaly? It's called an abnormal situation if you don't fly and the dog jumps! ”
Liu Zhenxiao pouted and said.
