Chen Jinbao thought about it and felt that the matter was already obvious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Fugui, don't you think it could be that this Wanlifei stole other people's money and threw it at your house?"

Wang Fugui pouted and shook his head.

"Master, it seems to be like this from the clues, but from the perspective of brain and motivation, I feel that this Wanlifei either hit his brain or encountered something that he couldn't figure out."

Chen Jinbao looked at Wang Fugui with disdain.

"Okay, okay, whatever! In this way, let's first ask those who were stolen from home, I heard the county master's meaning that there was more than one stolen, and most of the people who threw money from outside the window were not the only one. ā€

Wang Fugui nodded.

"Okay, master, listen to you."

......................

The two hurried to the flower hall, and a group of people with sad faces and gorgeous clothes were walking out, and one of them saw Chen Jinbao and shouted, "Oops! "God Catcher" is here! ā€

A group of people looked at it fixedly, and hurriedly ran to Chen Jinbao and knelt down.

"My lord! Call the shots for the little ones! ā€

"My lord! You're helping the little ones! ā€

"My lord! Please hurry up and solve the case! ā€

..................

Chen Jinbao watched so many people kneel and kowtow to him, and he was frightened.

"Neighbors, get up, get up."

A group of people stood up at this time, and Chen Jinbao took a look at it, and there were more than a dozen people who were stolen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you reported the amount of silver you stolen to the Yamen?"

A group of people said in unison: "It's been reported, it's been reported." ā€

Chen Jinbao then asked: "Then who of you saw the thief?" Can you describe what you saw? ā€

"Me!"

A fat man stood up in the crowd, seeing that this person was about 20 years old, not tall and fat, with a green patch on his forehead, a red and swollen nose, and a slap mark on the left side of his face, as if he had fought with his daughter-in-law.

"My lord, the little one saw the thief last night."

Chen Jinbao asked, "Well, what do you say about that thief?" ā€

"Last night, the villain suddenly had a stomachache, got up and lit a candle to go to the thatched house, and before I got to the thatched house, I heard a movement in the study, and I turned a corner and went to the study. When I entered the study, I saw a man in black clothes and a black mask holding my tray of silver. I was about to shout when the man in black threw the tray of silver at me. Look, my lord, this little forehead was smashed by that thief. After the fat man finished speaking, he pointed to the bruise on his forehead.

Chen Jinbao clasped his hands and then asked, "Then what?" ā€

"Then the thief jumped out of the window and ran away, the little one chased and shouted to catch the thief, don't you know, the thief is like a monkey, jumping and climbing, the wall in my yard, he jumped over at once, the little one followed him, and the result was a nose and blood came out. Look at my nose, that's when I got it. After the fat man finished speaking, he pointed to his nose again.

Chen Jinbao looked at the fat man's face hurt, not to mention anything else, at least his memory was still okay.

"Then you, did your daughter-in-law make the marks on your face?" Chen Jinbao asked.

The fat man slapped his thigh and stomped his foot.

"Yes, my lord, you are really a living immortal!"

Chen Jinbao smiled and thought, this is a human being, you can see it.

"Okay, thank you for the compliment, you go on, didn't the thief catch up and run?"

The fat man replied, "Yes, sir! At that time, everyone in the house woke up, and my daughter-in-law came with a broom, and when she saw me, she didn't see that the thief almost beat me as a thief. Don't you know that daughter-in-law of my family, with a black face and a big face, five big and three thick, more like a man than a man, the little one guessed that she was either Zhang Fei's mother or his grandmother in her last life, and she could fight! No, early this morning, you scolded me for not being able to chase the thief, and I said why don't you chase it? He's too scared to run just by standing there. And then she ..............."

The fat man covered the marks on his face and said, "Ouch, sir, you don't know it hurts!" Didn't she ask me to report to the official? ā€

Chen Jinbao was a little sympathetic to the fat man, and hurriedly comforted him and said, "Okay, okay, let's not mention the sad thing, anyway, the thief ran away, right............. Hey? ā€

Chen Jinbao felt a little wrong, and he thought back to what the fat man said.

"Wait, you just said you saw the thief with a tray of silver, and then threw it at you? What did you lose in your house? ā€

The fat man shook his head.

"I didn't lose anything in the small house."

Chen Jinbao felt that he was about to faint, and asked the fat man angrily: "You haven't lost anything for so long?" ā€

The fat man explained: "Yes, my lord, although the small family did not lose anything, but the thief who broke into the house at night should also compensate for the small one." Think about it, the little one thinks of going to the thatched house, giving the thief such a trouble, the small pants, the place, the little one is still wearing the pants in front of the people at home. Tell me, should he make amends? ā€

A group of people who reported the crime laughed when they heard the fat man's words, and Chen Jinbao rubbed his head.

"Okay, okay, you still have some clues. What, has anyone seen the thief? ā€

As soon as Chen Jinbao asked, another member of the group shouted: "My lord, I!" ā€

Out of the crowd came a young man, in his early twenties, of average height, with a very delicate face.

He stepped forward and bowed to Chen Jinbao, and then said, "My lord, the little one is not like that fat brother, the little one is really seeing the whole process of the thief stealing things." ā€

Chen Jinbao asked, "Really?" Tell me about it. ā€

"Last night at midnight (nine o'clock to eleven o'clock in the evening), the little one came back from drinking with a few friends, and was about to go back to the house to sleep, when he heard a movement in the house, and the little one pushed open the door and saw that a man in black was rummaging through the cabinets and taking the silver, and the little one hurriedly covered his mouth and did not dare to scream, and kept watching what he was going to do, and then I saw him put the money in a bag, and then went through the window."

Chen Jinbao frowned, and then asked, "What about after that?" ā€

"Then the little one went to sleep."

Chen Jinbao almost didn't spray his face with a mouthful of blood.

"You're just watching him steal and leave?"

The young man hurriedly shook his head.

"No, there is no adult, the villain is just afraid that the thief will hurt the innocent, adult, think about it, he dares to steal in front of me, there must be some guy around, if the little one shouted at that time, what if the thief was ferocious? The little one was very calm at the time, and he wanted to watch the whole process of his crime and then report it to the police. Look, I'm not here to report to the official? ā€

Chen Jinbao took a deep breath of air and restrained himself from being fierce.

Then, while panting, Chen Jinbao pointed his finger at him and said, "Young man, I now suspect that you are the one who gave the thief the wind." ā€

"Oops! The adults are wronged, but the little ones don't want to hurt the innocent..........."

Chen Jinbao hurriedly waved at him.

"Okay, okay, okay, good guy, he stole in front of you, you were really calm enough."

Chen Jinbao looked at these people, and most of them couldn't ask what they were called, so he said to them: "Okay, okay, please go back to all the neighbors, there is news that the yamen will notify you." ā€

A group of people thanked Chen Jinbao and left the yamen. At this time, Wang Fugui, who had been standing behind Chen Jinbao, asked: "Master, this is useless for a long time." ā€

Chen Jinbao rubbed his head.

"Who's to say it isn't? I listened to it for a long time and knew that the thief was quite good, and then he was dressed in black when he committed the crime like other thieves. ā€

Wang Fugui nodded helplessly, then took out the cloth bag and looked at it, and said: "Master, in my opinion, this Wanli Fei is the thief who steals things, and he steals rich people and throws them at ordinary people's homes. Do you think that ball, oh no, does the disappearance of the county lady have anything to do with him? ā€

Chen Jinbao nodded, he frowned, touched his chin with one hand around his chest and the other, and began to think.
