Chapter 375: Hooked
"What did you say?" Leech's eyes cracked, and he seemed to want to step forward and strangle the "Meat Ball" city lord to death.
Fortunately, Saya on the side noticed his abnormality in time, grabbed him, and pinched him hard, which made him sober up with red eyes.
"Say, what's going on?" Although his sanity was back online, Leach still felt hateful about how he looked at the "meat ball" city lord who had lost such an important thing, and he naturally wouldn't be polite when he spoke.
Hearing this, a trace of displeasure flashed on the face of the "Meat Ball" city lord, but in order for the plan to be implemented smoothly, he still endured it: "Several, I'm really sorry, I've found all the information you want, but just when I went to pick it up at dawn today, I unexpectedly found that the treasure room in my mansion was opened! Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell a few people, I usually store all the important information and valuable things in the treasure room." I don't know if it was because I suddenly appeared and scared the thief, originally he was slowly rummaging for what was valuable, because when I arrived, the treasure room had been turned into a disfigured place, but as soon as he saw me suddenly appear, the thief hurriedly threw a bunch of things in front of him into the big bag on the ground, and then he picked up the package in a panic and ran away. When I raised the alarm and went to check what was missing, I realized that the box containing the information you needed was gone!"
"Damn!" Leach gritted his teeth, "and do you have any clues about the thief's identity, or his whereabouts?"
Although he was very unhappy with Leach's tone, the "Meat Ball" city lord replied "truthfully": "I'm really sorry, that little thief is masked, I didn't see his appearance at all, and I haven't been here with any strangers other than a few of you recently, and there is no one similar to him among the people I am familiar with, so I really don't know where he is." As for his whereabouts, I've already sent someone to chase him, and if you want to know, you'll have to wait here with me for news. ”
"Alright, we'll wait here!" Leach had no better way but to decide, and now he regretted the most that he hadn't caught up with the man as soon as he found him.
The wait was long, and it would not be an exaggeration for Leach to say that seconds were like years. Although he told the "Meat Ball" city lord that he was waiting for the news to stay in the city lord's mansion, how could Leach wait in peace and quietly, walking around the hall for a while, and running to the window with an anxious face on his face, in short, he didn't stop for a moment.
After about ten minutes, everyone finally waited for the guards who came back to report the news.
Before the guard could enter the house, Leach rushed out as soon as he saw him, grabbed him by the collar and roared, "What about people, have you caught it, have you chased everything back?"
The guards in the castle lord's mansion did not rush out of the nest, and the guards who stayed behind to protect the safety saw that their brother was being treated like a murderer by an outsider from Leach, and although they knew that he was a guest of the lord of the castle, they still raised the weapon in their hands and aimed it at him, and kept shouting in their mouths to tell Litch to stop his dangerous actions, otherwise he would not be polite.
Leach turned a deaf ear to this, one with his strength he didn't need to take the threat of the group of guards around him to heart, and the other was in his opinion, it was the City Lord's Mansion that was the first to lose, and now he even treated him like an enemy, and he seemed to be angry, and he couldn't help but have a bit of tyrannical killing intent in his heart.
Seeing this, Lena and the others, who followed later, naturally persuaded Leach to let people go first and have something to say, while standing with him and confronting those guards.
When the two sides were tense, the city lord of the "meat ball", who had to come late because of his size, finally "moved" out of the house out of breath.
In order to make the plan go smoothly, it was naturally impossible for the "Meat Ball" city lord to let the two sides fight here, and hurriedly shouted to those guards: "What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and put away my weapons for me, why didn't you see you so brave when there were thieves just now, but now you are being tough on my guests, what's the use of me raising you waste?"
With the intervention of the "meat ball" city lord, the guards naturally did not dare to be presumptuous, although they were unwilling, they still put down their weapons one by one.
Seeing this, the "Meat Ball" city lord hurriedly said to Leach: "I'm really sorry, but if you want to ask questions, you have to let people go first, right?
Leach took a deep breath and let go of the messenger guard, whose face had begun to turn purple.
The messenger guard regained his freedom, and couldn't help but cough violently, and when Leach was about to lose his patience, he spoke: "Report to the city lord, we chased the thief all the way out of the west gate, and then he plunged into the woods outside the west gate, the horses that the brothers were riding could not enter, and if they dismounted, they couldn't keep up with the speed of the other party, so they could only send me back to ask you what to do next!"
Hearing this, the "meat ball" city lord deliberately made a look of embarrassment: "It's difficult to do now." Or...... I'm going to send more people to do a carpet search?"
The latter sentence was naturally deliberately addressed to Leach.
It's a pity that because Leach and the others were all focused on how to recover the lost property, they didn't notice the abnormality of the "Meat Ball" city lord.
"How can that work?" As the "Meat Ball" city lord had expected, Leach was the first to object, "By the time you gather all the people, the other party won't know where to run for a long time!"
"How is that good?" The fat face of the "Meat Ball" city lord wrinkled into bitter gourd, "I don't have any masters here, and ordinary guards can't help that little thief, so let him run away like this?"
"Let's go!" Leach gritted his teeth, pointing to the guard who was reporting the news, "You, show us the way!"
After speaking, Leach pointed to Ti Xinlier and said to the "Meat Ball" City Lord: "City Lord, this friend of mine is just an ordinary person, please help take care of her during the time we are away, I am grateful!"
For this innocuous unplanned request, the "Meat Ball" city lord naturally wouldn't argue with Leach at this juncture, and when he was about to open his mouth to accept it, he heard Di Xin Lier preemptively say: "I'll go too, Captain, if I'm in the forest, I should be able to help!"
