The next day, the staff on duty in the bookstore got up early in the morning and saw the materials piled up on the opposite side.

"Huh? Old horse, I said, did you have any of those things on the opposite side of the road last night?? One of the armed men asked his accomplice suspiciously.

"What's that?" The man, Lao Ma, brushed his teeth again and again, and walked out, squinting at the other side.

"Looks like a bunch of supplies, huh?? Why did you wake up and where was it?? The two of them said as they prepared to push the door and walk towards the opposite side.

"Hey, wait a minute? There's a note on the door, huh? Lao Ma said, took off the note and looked at it carefully, "Brother Z? Who is Brother Z? ”

"Is that Brother Zhai? Isn't he in charge of our bookstore? The armed men speculated.

．．．．．．

When Brother Zhai was also called, he himself said that he didn't know at all.

"The person on duty yesterday also fell asleep." Brother Zhai said, "I can't blame him, there are basically no supplies here in our bookstore, and there is nothing to guard against!" ”

"What about these things? Let's carry it back, or what? The old horse asked.

"Don't worry about it for now, let's carry it all back first!" Brother Zhai thought for a while and said, "Anyway, we still have to ask Yao Tian for things every day!" These are regarded as private goods that we have found ourselves, and if none of you mention them, who knows? Improve the lives of my brothers on weekdays! ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

But the people at the Water Conservancy Bureau have a very different attitude.

"Impossible!! I spent the night at the main gate, how could it be stolen?! The guard shouted, incredulous and shocked that something had been stolen.

"You have no evidence for your own words, how can you prove that you stayed overnight? Could it be that you fell asleep again halfway through?! "The main person in charge of the management of the water conservancy bureau insisted that the guards were lazy.

Xie Wuzi stretched, walked down from upstairs, and looked at Huo Gong.

They were also assigned to the Water Bureau.

"What's the matter, what are they arguing about early in the morning?" Xie Wuzi asked.

"We've got something stolen here, too." Huo Gong replied.

"What? Impossible?! Xie Wuzi said in great confusion, "I couldn't sleep for a while yesterday, and I chatted with the guards for a while. ”

When the guard heard Xie Wuzi's voice, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "Yes! He can testify that he didn't come back until late at night when I talked to him yesterday, and I haven't slept since. ”

Xie Wuzi immediately admitted.

"Could it be the people on the North Shore who did it??" Someone asked.

"Impossible!! I was at the gate and I didn't close my eyes all night!! The guard shouted, "I can't be derelict in my duty!" ”

"What the hell?! And you! You've been sleeping in the basement doorway, and you don't know?! The person in charge of management scolded angrily, "You, go and inform Yao Tian and let him come and have a look!" ”

He pointed to Huo Gong, who ran to the department store to call someone like a horse boy.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Soon, Yao Tian heard the news and rushed with armed men, and after listening to everyone's account, he didn't say a word, and turned to ask the men he had sent out to investigate yesterday -- one of whom had just returned at this time, and was reporting to Yao Tian when he received the news of the theft from the Water Conservancy Bureau.

"You two stared at the watchtower all night, did anyone come out at night?" Yao Tian asked.

"No, the two of us have been monitoring non-stop, and a few people went out fishing in the afternoon, but they all returned." The scouter replied.

"In other words, no one has ever come out, has it?" Yao Tian continued to ask.

"Yes, no." The man who scouted said, "I was on duty yesterday, and I stared at the watchtower all night, and I didn't close my eyes!" ”

Yao Tian then summoned all the heads of the nine strongholds to the Water Conservancy Bureau.

The person in charge of one of the strongholds was Chen Haoyang, and Yao Tian was more optimistic about him and handed over the northernmost stronghold to him to manage.

The man named Brother Zhai was also called.

Yao Tian came up and slowly asked, "Are you still satisfied with the current food supply?" ”

"Huh? That's good! Quite satisfied. They answered.

"Although everyone has been called to the North Shore, the amount and standard of food have not decreased." Yao Tian said.

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that Yao Tian was blaming himself for the disappearance of these two things.

"Honestly, who is beating their own people's ideas? Or are you all stupid at home? Someone stealing under their noses and not being detected?? Yao Tian asked.

He didn't think that Zheng Jieming and others had done the trick, and based on past experience, he believed that someone from a certain base had started stealing.

In the past, when he and Sun Cheng and others were establishing a base in Shuichuan City, they also encountered theft.

At that time, after they caught the person, the punishment was: chop your hands!

It was only later that the thief committed suicide because he couldn't bear the psychological pressure.

Everyone naturally knew about this kind of past, and they were all extremely nervous, especially Brother Zhai, who had received the "benefits", and he was even more worried.

However, before Yao Tian could test out the group, several armed men had already returned to the Water Conservancy Bureau, "Boss, find out." Everything is in the bookstore! ”

Brother Zhai's face changed color suddenly, and he hurriedly waved his hand to quibble.

"It's not me!! Not really!! That thing was placed at the door in the morning!! Brother Zhai hurriedly explained.

Yao Tian squinted his eyes, "Is it, at the door?" Who is so kind? No, shouldn't it be April Fool's Day? Who are you fooling? ”

"Really, Yao Yao Yao Yao Brother Yao!! I really don't know!! The man surnamed Zhai's knees began to tremble at this time, "That's right, that's right, that's right, I still have a note here!" ”

Brother Zhai took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Yao Tian.

Yao Tian took a look and smiled disdainfully.

"Huh!? Brother Yao, it's really not me! The man surnamed Zhai said.

"yes, I should say, it's not just you, right? It seems that you kid has a lot of skills, and you dare to play conspiracy? The number of things found in your house is not matched with the water conservancy bureau's lost ones! Yao Tian said slowly, and suddenly slapped the man surnamed Zhai in the face with his backhand, "Who is it?" Take the initiative to say it, it's all clear, except for your surname Zhai, there is at least one other person!! Moreover, there are so many things, it cannot be done by a few people individually, someone must have taken the lead. ”

Chen Haoyang looked left and right, and said tentatively, "Why don't you think it might be someone from the north shore who did it?" ”

Yao Tian looked back at Chen Haoyang and thought to himself, huh? You're from the North Shore yourself, aren't you? Is it not ambiguous to accuse the suspect now?

Then he waved his hand, "Impossible, you read this note for yourselves?" Who would be so stupid to take something and leave half for someone else? What's more, what can they know about Brother Z? Among you, who else can there be except for a Z in his last name?? ”

The conceited Yao Tian then missed an opportunity to get close to the truth.

Everyone could only be silent, and no one wanted to look directly into Yao Tian's eyes.

"Oh? Don't say yes, do you? It's not a big sin to say it, but if no one of you admits it, this old Zhai's hand ...... But you can't keep it, huh? ”

Lao Zhai was almost so frightened that he cried, obviously he was innocent, but he had to carry an inexplicable black cauldron! The key things are still missing.

He regretted that he shouldn't have been greedy for a momentary bargain.

"I still advise you to be cautious, no one can predict whether it will be someone else's work, our own people have a ration of food every day, so it won't be like this." Chen Haoyang reminded Yao Tian again.

Yao Tian turned his head to look at Chen Haoyang, "Then what do you think should be?" Do you know anything about it? ”

Xie Wuzi sat on the steps, heard Chen Haoyang speak, and looked at the other party vigilantly.

What was he thinking? took the initiative to act as an armed person again, and now he wants to give Yao Tian advice and be his right-hand man??

"Things are small things, but people are big things. Brother Yao, the purpose of your coming here is to kill people? Or is it for the sake of territory? Isn't it just to occupy some territory and get some supplies? In this case, isn't the transfer of things from one's own hand to one's right pocket? Chen Haoyang said.

Yao Tian walked up to Chen Haoyang, "You kid...... A little daring, huh? No one had dared to talk to me like that before. ”

"Hmm. I also watch people put on the dishes. In the past, on the North Shore, I didn't talk like that. Chen Haoyang replied.

The two dialogues between Yao Tian and Chen Haoyang were like eating a mouthful of aged sour vinegar, and they felt that it was not a taste, and they wanted to deal with the man surnamed Zhai when they looked back, but they felt that they lacked a little strength, so they could only give up.

Xie Wuzi looked at Chen Haoyang extremely vigilantly, full of incomprehension and vigilance about his actions.

Yao Tian decided that it was Chen Haoyang who took away the things from the Water Conservancy Bureau. He saw that Chen Haoyang seemed to be challenging his authority, and he wanted to pinch the other party to death at the moment, but he had a heart of love and didn't want to make trouble in front of him, so he silently wrote down a contradictory note in his heart.

"Okay, I won't pursue this matter yet. Nine strongholds, shrinking from today, personnel redistributed! After a while, I sent someone to inform Mr. Sun, and the people from the small manor are estimated to be arriving soon, and how many of them are directly pulled to the north shore. With the department store as the center, from today onwards, you will start carpeting out the zombies on the North Shore! ”
