At this time, the two attendants also woke up and looked around worriedly. "Did you see anyone suspicious?" Wu Changhao asked anxiously. The two shook their heads like rattles.

"It's not like you haven't even seen a figure!"

"Not really."

"Think again."

"There's really not a single figure."

"Did you drink?"

The two thought for a long time before one of them said, "We just drank some water from this cup." Another person said the same.

Wu Changhao took the cup to his nose and sniffed it, then licked it again, and said, "There's nothing special about it!" He shone the cup to the sun again, and then said impatiently, "All right! We can't delay any longer, we have to understand that the other party is a big thief Bai Lang, if we can't catch him this time, we won't want to mess around in the future, so we can't miss a minute. Then he looked suspicious again: "Is there any premeditation for this guy to be brought back by me?" Maybe he had other intentions to oppose me. ”

On the same day, Onida reported the case to the North District Security Bureau.

But this case is also a headache for the security guards, because the suspect is Bai Lang, a prisoner held in the North District Prison. How can a prisoner in prison come out and commit a crime? Even if he is a famous thief, this is too bizarre. How can this be explained?

After the case was reported by the newspapers, it caused a sensation throughout the city.

After the security guards sent by the Security Bureau arrived at Wufengpu, they conducted a thorough investigation and collected evidence, and every corner of the city, even stones and rubble, were turned over by them. They looked at everything from the carvings in the halls and corridors to the back of the fireplaces and mirrors, and even the tops of the picture frames and patios.

Onida also took them to a dark basement, where ammunition and food were stored. "There are no windows or vents, and the dust and stench are disgusting.

"It seems like it's been a long time since you've been here, has it?" "But it's said there's a passage through the bottom of the river to the rest of the world." ”

"No! There used to be, but now it's all collapsed. Onita said. Upon search, it was determined that there were no underpasses.

"If there was a passage, then it could be determined that they came in from here, but they didn't. But such large cabinets and artifacts can't disappear like a puff of smoke, and it is supposed that they should be transported out by windows and doors, but the doors and windows remain as they are. ”

"That's where the problem lies. First of all, where do people come in? And secondly, where is the thing transported?"

The security guards couldn't come up with a convincing explanation.

So who is the prisoner? Is it really Bai Lang? But he was being detained in prison, and everyone was scratching their heads. Out of desperation, the North District Security Bureau reported the matter to the Dongzhou Security Bureau for assistance. After the security chief from Dongzhou and several right-hand men came to the ancient mansion for two days of investigation, there was still no progress.

In the end, they had to invite the great detective Wu Changhao to tell the story in detail, and finally said: "It seems that this is a very bizarre case, and so far, there is still no progress." ”

Looking at the anxious security chief like an ant on a hot pot, Wu Changhao said: "This case is really tricky, I think it is not enough to search in the city, and to handle this case, we should work the other side......

"You mean ......"

"North District Jail."

"What the hell do you mean by North District Jail?"

"If you don't figure out Bai Lang's problem first, it is impossible to solve the problem, and the most important thing is Bai Lang himself."

"Do you mean the prisoner Hakuro?"

"Yes, I think it's just him."

"This is tantamount to a joke, Bai Lang is being detained in the North District Prison!"

"That's right, and he's under close surveillance. But even if he is tied up in prison, handcuffed and shackled, he must be the main culprit in this case, there can be no fault in this, only he is the mastermind of the case. ”

"Are you so sure?"

"Because the only one who has done the case from planning to action so without leaving a trace, there will be no second person."

"Your theory is not wrong, but Bai Lang's detention is a fact that cannot be doubted, how can he commit the crime? So your theory is also unrealistic. ”

"But he did it, I didn't tell some fallacies that are out of fact to scare people, he is indeed the main culprit in this case." Wu Changhao said, "You only know how to observe things like secret underground passages, but Bai Lang doesn't need these things to commit crimes." To be honest, the authentic way has long been out of fashion, Bai Lang can always use new and modern methods to commit crimes, and it can even be said that he is always ahead of the times, he uses methods that no one will think of in the next few years, and every action he takes is aimed at people's psychological defects. Therefore, it is not enough to rely on the search alone, this also needs to involve some psychological problems, and only by visiting Bai Lang's psychology can it be possible to find out the truth of the matter. ”

"It's too profound, so what do you think you do?"

"I need to stay with Shirarou for an hour."

"Is it to prison?"

"Yes, go to his cell and talk to him head-on, and maybe he will proudly talk to me about his new methods?" Wu Changhao said calmly.

"When he was arrested, instead of holding a grudge against me, that guy respected me for being able to catch a thief like him. In fact, he is different from ordinary thieves, he is usually a man with a great sense of humor. He has both a frightening and a lovable side, always like to show off the facts of his crimes. If I meet him, he will tell me the inside story of the case. ”

"Really? Then it's time to give it a try. ”

In the North District Prison, Shirarou is lying on his back on the straw, his eyes looking at the gray ceiling. As soon as he saw Wu Changhao walk in, a carp stood up and greeted him.

"I can't believe you're in such a filthy place, I'm just trying to find someone to talk to! Sit down, there's only one chair here. ”

"Thank you, then I'm welcome, in fact, it wasn't our intention to arrest you, I guess you know the reason."

"You're welcome, but as soon as you come, I'll only have to sit on the haystack. I didn't expect me to meet you again so soon, how are you doing?"

"Thank you for your concern, it's business as usual."

"Really? I've always respected you, you're a great detective. ”

"Where, where, you've won the prize."

"I don't mean to flatter you, I often tell my subordinates that Wu Changhao is a great detective on a par with Sherlock Holmes. It's a pity that the detective is here today, but I can only ask you to sit in a broken chair, and I can't entertain you with coffee, let alone beer. Of course, this is only my temporary habitat!"

Wu Changhao listened to him with a smile.

"It's frustrating that I'm locked up here alone and can't find someone to listen to, so I might have a lot to say. Watching the guards go around like monkeys in the mountains every day makes me feel much more comfortable when I see a humble gentleman like you. You know, the eyes of those guys who come over ten times a day eight times a day, as if they want to see through me, as if they think I'm going to break out of prison. Am I really that important? Why do you exalt me so much, and treat me so delicately? ”

"Yes! They want you to stay here longer!"

"Oh, haha! I don't want to stay here any longer, so what's the matter with you here?"

"The robbery of Wufeng Shop."
