Chapter 264: Capture the Thief Stone

"Since you both feel that this poor scholar is not a thief, why go and help him?" Qingqing leisurely proposed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Okay, but before solving the case, I'll go buy some tools to solve the case! I'll be back in a while!"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared in place, flashing towards not far away.

"Whoosh!"

Relying on Xuanqi, who was walking a thousand stars, after a few quick dodges, he had returned to the corner where the crowd gathered.

At this time, the official messenger was already preparing to escort the young scholar back to the county government.

The county magistrate, dressed in civilian clothes, stroked the green beard on his chin, and was very satisfied with the effect of this micro-suit patrol.

"Wait!"

Under the sideways glances of everyone, Lin Chen slowly walked into people's sight.

At this time, Lin Chen was wearing a pale white robe, with a long tassel of green silk tied around his waist, and a piece of mutton fat white jade tied on it.

His eyes shot at the cold star, and his two brows were like paint. The chest is broad, and there is the majesty of ten thousand invincibles.

He slowly walked towards the county order and the young scholar who was crying, his momentum was very majestic, and he no longer had the temperament of the turtle of the past.

In the past few months, although he has not been pampered all the time, he has lived a much better life, and his horizons have been broadened several times.

Therefore, the temperament of the whole person has quietly changed greatly...... It's just that he didn't notice it.

This majestic momentum made the county commander suddenly forget what to do next.

Several officials also subconsciously did not stop Lin Chen's approach.

"What's your name?" When he got closer, Lin Chen didn't say anything to appease the young man's emotions, but asked very directly.

"I ...... My name is Lu Yiming. ”

"Okay!Lu Yiming, can you tell me what happened?" Lin Chen continued to ask when he saw that his question had calmed Lu Yiming's emotions a little.

"Well, I said!" Lu Yiming struggled to stop crying, but he still said with a crying tone, "I passed by here on the street just now and saw a beggar begging for food from this uncle who sells incense and candles. At this time, a lame uncle suddenly fell to the ground, knocking over the incense and candle seller and the beggar. ”

"The three of them fell down together, and many people around me came to see me! But at this moment, suddenly there was an extra money bag under my feet. ”

"As soon as I picked up the money bag, the uncle who sold incense and candles said that he had lost his money bag......! Then I was arrested as a thief, and the prefectural magistrate and the two officials soon appeared!"

As Lu Yiming spoke, he also pointed out the location of the beggar and the lame uncle to Lin Chen.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the county order reacted.

He frowned, and shouted: "People have both accounts, and they still want to quibble!"

"I didn't! I really didn't steal it!" Lu Yiming continued to argue for himself.

"Haha...... Don't make up your mind so early! You might as well listen to me first, how about it?" Lin Chen snorted and said, "This matter is strange, I think Lu Yiming is indeed suspicious, but he shouldn't be the only suspect!" Lu Yiming is suspicious, the little beggar over there will also be suspicious, and this lame uncle should also be suspicious!"

"Even, everyone present at the time was suspicious!"

In this way, everyone seemed to be unable to refute it, and they all began to discuss it in shock.

The county magistrate was smug about the fact that he had caught the thief in public, but unexpectedly, a forest dust came out and said with some annoyance: "Where are you coming from?

"What the eyes see is not necessarily the truth, it is very likely that it is just a smoke miasma deliberately set up by others!" Lin Chen retorted calmly, "However, I have studied Taoism since I was a child, and I have learned that there is a way to catch a real thief!"

Everyone became interested in seeing what could be done to find the real thief.

Lin Chen smiled slightly, took out a big bag, and showed it to everyone.

Then Ling Ran said: "Look! I have already put the thief stone in this bag! This thief stone was given to me by an enlightened immortal, and it will tell me who is really a thief!"

The county commander had anger in his eyes, and he was very reluctant to let Lin Chen continue to investigate the case here.

But everyone's interest was high, and under such circumstances, he could not say anything to stop it, so he could only put on an official posture and shouted: "What is the thief stone, this official has never heard of it! If you can't find out, this official will not spare you lightly, and will sentence you to a crime of obstructing official business!"

"Okay! I can't find out, I just listen to it!" Lin Chen faced the county order, without the slightest fear, and said solemnly, "The two big brothers, take the trouble to bring all the people who were nearby at the time!"

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

Even the twenty-one people, including Lu Wuming, the little beggar and the lame master, were all lined up in turn, and one by one they reached out to Lin Chen's big bag to touch the thief stone.

Lin Chen's statement is very simple, the thief stone in the bag is a sacred relic of the immortal family, as long as someone touches him, he can immediately find out whether it is a thief.

"Yes, yes!"

"Next!"

"Next one!"

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

After the people touched it one by one, Lin Chen shouted one after another.

All the way to the mediocre-looking lame uncle...... After he finished touching it, he spread out his palm and immediately showed it to Lin Chen.

During the whole movement, his expression seemed very calm and he behaved very freely.

Everyone thought that Lin Chen would continue to shout "pass"!

"Huh?" Lin Chen frowned, directly buckled the lame uncle's wrist, glared and shouted, "He is the thief who stole the money bag of the old man who sold incense and candles!"

"Ah...... Me?" the lame uncle asked in surprise, with an expression of absolute incredulity on his face.

And the spectators were even more exclaimed, and there were constantly puzzled voices.

The county magistrate stepped forward and accused: "What evidence do you have that he is a thief?"

"Look at his hands!"

"His hands are clean, normal, nothing!"

"The problem is that he doesn't have anything!" Lin Chen's gaze swept towards everyone and shouted, "Everyone raise your hands!"

More than a dozen people who had been tested did not hesitate and raised their hands one after another.

The onlookers and the county magistrate could see very clearly that each of them, their hands, were more or less stained with black.

Everyone turned their heads to each other, and they didn't feel very clear.

Could it be that this thief stone relies on this to distinguish the thief's body?

If it's not a thief, there's nothing, it's a thief who turns black?

Although it was a bit incredible, no one wanted to believe in the efficacy of the thief stone.

The county order naturally would not conclude that Lin Chen's thief stone test was valid, so he said: "Without evidence, this official will not recognize your conclusion!"
