After another two days, there was still an endless stream of people who came to buy medicine from the rat tamers, and almost all the residents of the town had bought rat poison, and there were no more rats harassing the people. After that www.biquge.info the town was uneventful for three consecutive days, and the residents continued to live a peaceful and peaceful life.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the next day, some residents reported to Captain Jiang that there was a theft of property in their home last night, and there were 45 thefts on this day alone, and nearly 100 reports were received the next day. Obviously, it will not be a single crime, but how can a gang commit a crime so quietly and not be discovered by others? If it's a fluke, it's incredible.
This really made Captain Jiang puzzled, thinking carefully that most of the residents in the town are ordinary people, and each family's property must be placed in their bedrooms or kept close to them, so if they want to steal, they must go to the bedroom, but the blame is that no one was awakened by the thief, and after on-site investigation and questioning of the owner, no signs such as incense were found, so even if the thief's kung fu is good, it will never be possible, so it is really unbelievable that God will steal things unconsciously.
Captain Jiang has been so embarrassed by this case in the past two days, and he has no clues, how can he handle this strange case? He thought to himself that this must not be an ordinary theft, and there must be a lot of information in it. Suddenly, it dawned on him that it might be the work of a man with a sorcerous spell who had stolen the belongings of the inhabitants overnight using a very secret and undetectable magic technique. Thinking of this, Captain Jiang's heart was a little more steady.
Catching an ordinary thief is naturally a breeze. But this case is not something that can be handled by himself, Captain Jiang immediately thought of someone and couldn't help but smile, and said, "It seems that I have to invite him." ”
Who else can I invite? Naturally, I went to ask Uncle Jiu, who is highly skilled in Taoism, for help. Captain Jiang hurriedly led people to Fuxi Hall. At this time, it was noon, and Uncle Nine had just finished lunch and was lying on a bamboo chair in the shade of a tree in the courtyard. Ah Hai Xiaohao and the two were cleaning the courtyard, and when they saw Captain Jiang and a group of people coming, they asked Ming to find out that they were here to find the master to handle the case, and Captain Jiang saw that Uncle Nine was taking a nap and didn't dare to disturb, Ah Hai saw this and walked to Uncle Jiu's side, and said in a low voice: "Master wake up, Captain Jiang has something to discuss with you." After saying that, Uncle Jiu opened his eyes, settled his mind, and immediately got up, bowed to Captain Jiang, and asked, "Captain Jiang is here today and I don't know what happened?" Captain Jiang explained the matter in detail, and Uncle Nine nodded, and said: "There is indeed something strange about this matter, let's go to each house to see if there may be anything missing, if there is really something evil, ordinary people can't see it." Ah Hai, Xiaohao, you take the guy with me to handle the case with Captain Jiang. ”
Everyone went to the home of a reporter to conduct a scene investigation, Uncle Nine just entered the door and smelled a strange smell, he didn't think much about it at the time, and immediately set out to find out whether there were traces of theft, everyone looked around to no avail, and then went to the second house to investigate, Uncle Nine smelled this strange smell again this time, and couldn't help asking: "I smelled a strange smell from the one just now, how can this family also have this strange smell?" Captain Jiang explained: "Well, this should be the smell of rat poison, a few days ago there was an inexplicable rat plague in the town, which damaged many things of the residents in the town, and I couldn't even sleep well at night, fortunately, we came to the town to sell an artist, he specializes in ancestral secret rat poison, you don't say it's really in charge, the movement of the rats in the past two days can't be heard at all." For this reason, I also specially bought a few packs of rat poison to prevent rats from making trouble in the future, in fact, this rat poison smells quite good. ”
Because Fuxi Hall is a lay dojo, with both the protection of the ancestor tablet and the profound Taoism of the ninth uncle, ordinary demons and evil spirits, snakes, insects, rats and ants are not allowed to approach Fuxi Hall. The three of them have not gone out in the past few days, so they do not know that there is a rat plague and rat poison in the town. Uncle Nine frowned when he heard this, obviously thinking. Ah Hai and Xiao Hao also heard about this for the first time, and both of them were quite surprised.
After a while, Uncle Nine whispered to himself: "Mouse, mouse ......" suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization, and hurriedly said: "So that's the case, you guys quickly look at the door, windows, tables and chairs to see if there are any small marks, and don't let go of the cabinets and beds." As soon as they heard this, they immediately took action, and sure enough, there were many small mouse footprints in these places. These rows of rat footprints can't be found without looking closely. The footprints lead in all directions to the various areas of the house, and it seems that the rats have visited every part of the house.
Captain Jiang asked, "Is there anything strange about this rat footprint of Uncle Nine?" Yes! Do you suspect that there is something wrong with this mouse? Uncle Nine nodded and said, "Yes, it's not just this mouse, I suspect that someone is using evil methods to manipulate rats to steal people's property." Captain Jiang, in order to prevent mistakes, you send a few people to the victims' homes to investigate carefully and see if there are also rat footprints in the place where they were lost. ”
Captain Jiang instructed his subordinates to start doing this, and after waiting for about half an hour, they reported to Captain Jiang one by one, and sure enough, as Uncle Jiu expected, it was really a problem with the rats.
Now that there are clues, Captain Jiang firmly believes that this matter must be helped by Uncle Jiu, and he is busy asking Uncle Jiu for his strategy to investigate the case. Uncle Nine said: "I think this matter is inseparable from the medicine seller, that rat poison seems to smell fragrant to you ordinary people, but it smells faintly pungent when we are learning the Tao, this rat poison must be made of evil methods, presumably to facilitate his manipulation of mice." Ah Hai heard Uncle Nine say this, and also said: "Yes, there is a strange smell, but it is definitely not a fragrance." Xiaohao touched his head and said with a smile: "My cultivation is not as good as my master and brother, the smell is a strange smell mixed with aroma, I thought there was something wrong with my nose, it turned out that my cultivation was not enough, hehe." ”
After hearing this, Captain Jiang nodded slightly and said, "This person is really cunning, he even used a mouse to steal, so that he would not leave any traces of theft that would be easy to be discovered, and he would not be easily caught." Thinking about it carefully, it was too coincidental that this person came, and within two days of coming to sell rat poison, our Longquan Town was both making trouble with rats and throwing things. Alas, we were too negligent. Since this is the case, Uncle Nine, I will arrest this person. ”
Uncle Nine waved his hand to stop Captain Jiang, who was about to go out, and said, "Don't worry, if you pass with such a large number of people, you will definitely startle the snake, and it will be troublesome for him to run away." Furthermore, that person will use evil methods, and you may not be his opponent. It's noon, so let's wait until the evening to take advantage of his slackness. "Captain Jiang, just in case, ordered his subordinates to disguise themselves as ordinary townspeople and carefully monitor the area around the inn where the medicine seller lived to prevent him from suddenly escaping.
At night, everyone came to the inn carefully, and the watchman told Captain Jiang that he had not escaped, and everyone was relieved. Captain Chiang ordered several of his men to guard the area around the inn, arrest the medicine seller if he found him escaped, and shoot him in both legs if he resisted.
