Chapter 24: The Monkey Is a Criminal

Yin Jian scared away the rich.

The store is very grateful to Yin Jian. took out the best tea to thank Yin Jian and the master.

The two were discussing some idle matters, suddenly, a person hurriedly came to Yin Jian, it was the scholar Jin Long, I saw that he was out of breath, saw Yin Jian, bowed, and said: "Master, someone reported to the official just now, the situation is urgent, the little one feels that the situation is serious, and he inquired all the way, knowing that the master is drinking tea here, so he came to take the liberty of disturbing." ”

"What's the matter?" Yin Jian asked.

"The cellar of Zhang Yuanwai's house was stolen, and a large amount of gold and silver were lost, pearls and gems, so he reported to the government, and the villain received a report, feeling that the situation was serious, and he lost too much gold, silver and money, so he didn't dare to delay, came to report, and asked the master to deal with it." Jin Long said.

"Master, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Yin Jian asked.

"Cellar? Is it only through things? For example, cats and dogs, other living creatures can't pass? Bu Huishu asked.

According to Zhang Yuanwai's description, the cellar is tightly protected, and ordinary people cannot enter it. At the scene of the crime, there were no clues. This thief is so clever! It seems that it is very difficult to solve the case, beyond people's imagination. Jin Long said.

"Understood." Bu Huishu said, and then touched the silver ring, and immediately knew who the perpetrator was.

"Master, Zhang Yuanwai promised to recover the stolen money, and he was willing to donate five thousand taels of silver to the school." Jin Long said.

"Don't listen to him, look at what he does. It is unkind to the rich. When there is a request for you, it is the grandson, who agrees to the request, and when the goal is achieved, he completely forgets it. There are quite a few such people. Yin Jian said.

"This Zhang Yuanwai has always had a good reputation. The younger one inquired about his character, and he was a philanthropist and liked to give to the poor. Such a person belongs to a gentleman. We have a few in our county, but not many. Jin Long said.

"A good man has a good reward, and he can help him recover the stolen gold and silver treasures." Bu Huishu said.

"How do you solve the case?" Yin Jian asked.

"It can be handled like this." Bu Huishu said.

"Good!" Yin Jian said, and then told Jin Long how to deal with it.

Jin Long nodded, and left the teahouse with his hands in hand, and went to the office office.

He led two fast catchers to the downtown area to look for street performers.

There are people talking about cross talk on the street, there are boxers, people selling sugar gourds, there are people selling flowers, there are fortune tellers, and there are people selling dates.

Jin Long found a monkey trickster, this man was dressed plainly, and he also wore what ordinary people wore. The monkey does not whip the monkey, but only the gong, not the drum.

The golden dragon stepped forward and asked, "Where are you from?" Where to go? What do you do for a living? ”

"I'm from Shandong, and I'm going to Shanxi. Make a living by playing monkey show. The monkey man said.

Jin Long remembered what Bu Huishu said, and knew that this person was not a criminal.

Walking further, I saw another monkey player, this monkey player, which looked more simple.

"Where did you come from? Where are we going? What do you do for a living? The golden dragon asked.

"I'm from Shanxi, and I'm going to Shandong. has no other skills, and makes a living by playing monkey show. The monkey man said.

The golden dragon shook his head, knowing that he wasn't a criminal either.

I let him go.

Continuing to walk forward, at the entrance of the vegetable market, there was a group of people around, constantly cheering, all of which were cheers in unison.

Jin Long went with the catcher, separated the crowd and looked over, and found that in the center of the venue, there were three monkeys, all of whom would perform, one of which was dedicated to stealing small objects from the onlookers in public for fun. It attracted many onlookers and cheers.

This monkey is dressed differently than the other monkeys. It looks a little precious.

This monkey has smooth hair, shiny hair, yellow hair and red buttocks, which is completely different from other monkeys. Look at the monkey man again, he looks obscene, has a cunning look in his eyes, and when he speaks, he doesn't leak, and he looks very eloquent.

Dressed in black, with a black turban, and black shoes, he contrasts sharply with the yellow monkey.

When the golden dragon saw that there was a play, he stepped forward and was about to ask, the monkey who was playing with the monkey, as soon as he saw that the tolerance was coming, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he was about to slip away, but he was helplessly stopped by the golden dragon and asked, "Where are you from?" Where to go? What do you do for a living? ”

"Tell the public that the little ones come from where they come and go where they go, and they make a living playing monkeys." The monkey man said.

"What are these words? Where to come from, where to go, be specific. Jin Long said.

"That is, that is, that is, where I came from, where I came, where I came, where I was going, going, going where I was going. Is there anything wrong with this, this? Said the monkey man.

As soon as Jin Long heard that he had an idea, he knew that this person was suspicious. asked: "Tell me honestly, have you been to Zhang Yuanwai's house?" ”

"Zhang, Zhang, Zhang? Where, where, which Zhang Yuanwai? Said the monkey man.

"What is your name?" Be honest! The golden dragon asked.

"The surname is Liu, and the name is Sanxiu." Said the monkey man.

"Strange! Do you know Liu Yixiu? Jin Long asked.

"I know, the younger brother is called Liu Yixiu, the second brother Liu Erxiu, and I am the third, named Liu Sanxiu." Said the monkey man.

"What about your eldest brother and second brother?" Jin Long asked.

"It's all in the way." Liu Sanxiu said.

"If you confess honestly, you can also get a good death, if you deliberately conceal it and don't report it, your life will not be guaranteed, because the amount of money you stole is enough to die several times." Jin Long said.

"This, this, this, that, that, that!" Liu Sanxiu said.

"You don't want this or that, just ask you, do you know Zhang Yuanwai?" Jin Long asked.

"I don't know if it's Zhang Yuanwai, in short, his family is very rich." Liu Sanxiu said.

"How do you know that Zhang Yuanwai's family is rich?" Jin Long asked.

"This, this, I heard that Zhang Yuanwai's family is very rich, and the locals know it." Liu Sanxiujia said.

"Mmmm, do you know where the money is for Zhang Yuanwai's family?" Jin Long asked.

"Cellar. Oh no, no, don't know. Liu Sanxiu said.

"How do you know in the cellar?"

"I don't know, I guess, the average rich person will put their money in the cellar and hide it." Liu Sanxiu said.

"How did you steal the property in Zhang Yuanwai's cellar?" Jin Long asked.

"I don't know." Liu Sanxiu said.

"How could you not know?" Jin Long asked, suddenly thinking of what Bu Huishu said, and immediately asked, "You are not a thief, then, who is a thief?" Say! ”

"I don't know." Liu Sanxiu said that it seems that he will resist to the end.

"Do you dare to take responsibility for what you say?" Jin Long asked.

"Dare!"

"Okay, if you dare to be responsible, then, you spit on your palm, quick! Spit up! The golden dragon ordered.

When Liu Sanxiu heard this, he panicked, but he didn't expect Jin Long to let him spit on.

Not to be outdone, he coughed a few times and wanted to spit out, but he usually had spit, but there was no spit, Liu Sanxiu just felt that his mouth was dry and he couldn't spit it out, and he was embarrassed at that time.

"Spit up!"

"No, not really! I admit it, it's a small thing to do. Liu Sanxiu said.

"Okay, come on, let's go, follow me to the county government and make it clear. The two were arrested quickly, and the trouble locked him up and took him to the county office to continue the trial. The golden dragon commanded.

Then, Liu Sanxiu was taken to the county office.

Yin Jian listened to Jin Long's report, and then tried it overnight, recorded Liu Sanxiu's crime, wrote it by Shuli, and asked Liu Sanxiu to sign and draw it.

It turned out that Liu Sanxiu specially trained monkeys to steal, and used to be on the street, making small fights, letting monkeys steal money, and after stealing, giving monkeys delicious rewards. The monkey remembered, as long as he found a rich person, he followed, and if he was unprepared, he repeatedly succeeded and then disappeared, the monkey moved quickly, and the stolen person had no time to react, and the money had changed hands.

In doing so, you can only barely make ends meet. In order to let the monkey steal bigger and more money, he aimed at Zhang Yuanwai on the rich side.

After many times of observation, he found that every time Zhang Yuan deposited or withdrew money outside, the doors and windows would be closed tightly to prevent outsiders from seeing anything. The large trees around the courtyard wall were cut down in order to prevent the thieves from hiding in the trees to observe the internal situation of the Zhang family.

Liu Sanxiu found a rule, that is, the money must be in the house, and where it is needs to be further investigated.

I couldn't find it anywhere, so I asked the monkey to look for it, and the monkey found it, and the monkey knew how to exchange money for good food, and if he couldn't steal the money, he would be whipped, and there were upside-down thorns on the whip, and the monkey was recognized, it was very scary, and every time the monkey went, it would be successful.

After the monkey is professionally trained, it is very capable, the body is thin and flexible, it is very easy to climb high and low, and there are some places that people cannot go to, and the monkey is barrier-free.

After he asked the monkey to steal a gold bar, he was overjoyed and knew that the cellar of Zhang Yuanwai's house was a treasure trove.

It's very informative.

He went on a theft spree. Soon, Zhang Yuanwai discovered the problem and immediately reported it to the official, which attracted attention.

Liu Sanxiu was arrested, and then after a trial, the verdict: the monkey was released into the mountains and forests, Liu Sanxiu was sent to the frontier, and he was never allowed to return to his hometown.

Later, Jin Long asked Bu Huishu: "Why can you solve the case by spitting?" ”

Bu Huishu said: "This is a hypothesis. The cellar was protected from human entry, so no one could enter and steal, but I never expected a monkey to commit a crime. When Zhang Yuanwai was building the cellar, ignoring this problem left Liu Sanxiu with the opportunity to commit the crime. Liu Sanxiu knows that there are places where people can't go, and only by training monkeys to become accomplices or tools for committing crimes, in this way, monkeys can drive straight into the country and succeed repeatedly. Generally speaking, people who have ghosts in their hearts will be nervous when they have a premonition that they will be suspected, or if they take something to do so, such as going for interrogation. When a person is in a state of tension, he feels that his mouth is dry and he cannot spit in any way. When people are nervous, they can't help themselves, and they can't spit if they want to. ”

After hearing this, Jin Long immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "I really admire!" Master is really a genius in solving cases in the world! ”

"It's nothing, the key is to look closely. In fact, many cases can be solved by careful observation. Bu Huishu said.

While he was talking, someone from the Xiangwang Mansion asked Bu Huishu to go to the mansion to discuss important matters.

Yin Jian said: "Master, it seems that King Xiang has encountered trouble, and it is inconvenient to be an official, so let Master go over and take a look." If the master is fine, go and see, for King Xiang, the issue of face is more important. It would be best if it could be solved. can't solve it, King Xiang has his own way. ”

"Master, this is no problem." Bu Huishu said, then said goodbye to Yin Jian, sat in the sedan chair sent by King Xiang, and arrived at King Xiang's mansion.

King Xiang is a person who likes to be quiet, and likes to read, so his study is relatively remote, enter from the main gate, walk through the nine-fold gate, and then pass through a bamboo forest, like a private garden, and then to a corner of the garden, is a small building, the name of the small building is Qingfeng Mingyue Building. It means that this small building is to welcome the breeze and the bright moon, and it is a simple and quiet and clean place.

After sitting down, King Xiang said straight to the point: "The book room lost several very important gold products, with commemorative significance, are given by the emperor and other colleagues, after the theft, it is a pity, and I am afraid that this news will spread far and wide, conveyed to the ears of the people who gave the king's gifts, especially the emperor, and colleagues, if you know, it will make people feel cold, and feel disappointed by a sincere heart." ”

"Understood." Bu Huishu nodded and said.

"I have long heard that the master can handle the case. This case can't be said to be a case of the Twenty-Eight Classics, and this king just wants to solve it quietly. lest it be spread out, and the king's face will be lost. Whether the case is solved or not, it will have an impact on the king. The case was solved and the gold souvenirs were recovered, which also showed that the king's anti-theft work was not good enough, so that the thieves had a chance to take advantage of it and succeed. The failure to solve the case proves that the king does not have a powerful friend to help, proves that the king has no appeal and influence, or is impersonal and has no friends to help. In short, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. This king hopes to solve it as soon as possible, I wonder if the master can handle this case well? ”

"This is easy to say, it must satisfy the prince." Bu Huishu said.

Bu Huishu said, touched the silver ring with his hand, and immediately had an idea, he said: "Lord Wang, please all the people who have been to this library to be present." ”

King Xiang nodded, agreed, and then asked all the parties to go to the library.

After a while, everyone arrived.

Bu Huishu asked, "Who first discovered the theft of the gold artifact?" ”

"It's the maid Cuihua." King Xiang said.

"Emerald Flower!" Bu Huishu shouted.

"Yes." A maid replied.

"Tell me about the situation."

"Yes, these gold vessels are kept by slaves and maidservants. One night, there was no moon, and there were dark shadows in the library, and it turned out that thieves had already infiltrated the library. The slave and maid shouted loudly, the black shadow panicked, and ran away, but the slave and maid were powerless to stop, and the robber wounded his left hand with a sword, and then the family came to catch the thief, and the robber had fled away. After an inventory, it was found that several pieces of gold were missing. Cuihua said.

"Oh, I see! Cuihua, can you see your injuries? Bu Huishu said.

"Absolutely. Come on, take a look! Cuihua said.

Cuihua stretched out her left hand and asked Bu Huishu to look at it, and Bu Huishu took a closer look at Cuihua's hand.

Cuihua kept shouting "pain".
