Chapter 494: Scared and trembling

A large tree branch was shot. At the same time, the scarecrow "Ahh The earth screamed, and fell to the ground with the branches and leaves, and tried to slip away.

Bai Lang rushed forward with an arrow and stretched out his hand to knock the man to the ground. Gu Su, his sons and the security guards were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

"I'll hand over the old man Tulle to you!" Bai Lang said to the security guards while laughing.

It turned out that the old man named Tuller, named Hanako, was disguised as a strawman. From the pocket of his ragged clothes, the 6,000 yuan also fell out.

"How do you deduce where he'd hide disguised as a scarecrow?"

When the village boys heard the gunshots, they immediately gathered around. Everyone was also very puzzled. "I want to ask, on what basis did you know that the straw man was dressed up by him?"

"It's based on this little thing." It was the wheat stalk that Bai Lang handed to everyone: "As soon as I saw this split end, I deferred that it must have been connected to another one, and because it had broken, it fell into the water.

"From this, the thief who was hiding in the shadows must have lived by connecting the stalks of wheat to drink, and I saw a scarecrow hanging from a branch above the sink, so I guessed that the creature must have been disguised as a scarecrow.

"Because you are so familiar with all this, you don't pay special attention to this strawman, but when solving crimes, it often happens that the criminals and the evidence are in front of you, and you see them as if you don't see them. These things can sometimes make people dizzy.

"At that time, Tullena was so hurried by you that you had to climb up to this tall and dense tree, and you did not find him because of the luxuriant foliage. You may have been under this tree a thousand times, but none of you paid special attention.

"Tullena had planned to escape when it was dark, but since you were guarded by the sink at night and day, he had no chance of jumping from the tree. After about three or four days, he was so thirsty that he came up with such a solution. He disguised himself as a scarecrow and connected the stalks one by one. Whenever no one was paying attention in the dark, he would put the stalks into the trough to suck water and quench his thirst.

"It's a smart move. Because at night, even the keeper of the sink will not notice this very thin stalk. It was on this approach that Tullena has persisted to this day. However, when the stalk is flooded, it splits easily, so that the bottom section falls into the water. Coincidentally, this section of wheat stalk was actually observed by me, a private detective. What do you think? Tullena, am I right?"

"Alas! Your words are absolutely correct. The old man said in discouragement.

"He is truly a famous detective, and it is really admirable to have such amazing insight. With your help, I finally got the 6,000 yuan back, and I'll give you some as a reward! Gu Su said.

"Don't give me money. I'm a private investigator, and of course I charge for handling cases for others. However, today's situation is different from the past, and I happened to encounter it when I was passing by while working on other cases. Therefore, I am not good at charging. ”

"But, thanks to your help......"

"If you insist on that, give me that water bag as a souvenir."

"How can such a tattered thing ...... That hydration bag is really too worn. ”

"It doesn't matter, I have a hobby of collecting old things. Whenever I go to the countryside to work on a case, I always bring some broken furniture from the farmhouse that I have collected. To be honest, I'm a very curious person. Bai Lang smiled.

Security began to interrogate Tulna. In this village, fortunately, this old man has a good reputation. Everyone knows that he has lived in this village for a long time, but he has never done anything illegal. This time, it was just an occasional thief, and the stolen 6,000 yuan had all been recovered, so everyone did not pursue the case again.

Tullena bowed to everyone, expressed remorse, and left.

When everyone had reached the house, Bai Lang poured out the water from the water bag, patted the bag gently, and said:

"Finally solved the case completely. From now on, everyone can rest assured. ”

"I was able to get all 6,000 yuan back, thanks to your help. However, there was one more thing that could not be found. Forget it, that thing isn't worth a lot of money. Gu Su's wife said.

"Oh? Lost an item? What is it?"

"A tattered Buddhist scripture. But it doesn't matter, it's already very dirty, and the cover is already in tatters, even if it's given to Tullena! I hope that after this old man takes that Buddhist scripture, he will have the opportunity to take it out often, read the language of the Buddha and God, and stop doing anything unkind in the future. The kind old lady Gu said while smiling

However, after hearing this, Bai Lang couldn't help frowning.

"I hope that this old man will often take out the Buddhist scriptures and read the language of the Buddha and God......" These words lingered in Bai Lang's ears.

"The Word of God...... Isn't the first of the three sentences in the language of God on the coat of arms of the Porji family 'the words of the man of God'? The 'words of the man of God' must be referring to the Buddhist scriptures. This kind old lady provided me with an extraordinary inspiration. Sutra? If the cover of that sutra was made of black sheepskin, then Tulna, who stole the old sutra, must not have been an ordinary thief. So, is he also looking for the treasure of the Porji family? This man must be an accomplice to that gang. It was a big mistake to let that old guy go. ”

Bai Lang panicked, inquired about Tulna's address, and hurried there.

Tullena lived under a bridge outside the village, not far from the hut. When Bai Lang entered, he was walking outside, and when he saw Bai Lang, he was so frightened that he trembled.

Bai Lang thought that the old fellow must be about to give away the Buddhist scripture, so he reached out and grabbed him, and asked:

"Hey, old man, you didn't just steal the 6,000 yuan, there must be something else, give it to me!"

"That'...... That ......"

"Whom have you been assigned? Are you going to send it away? Don't try to slip away from me! ”

"No, there is no such thing. I happened to find it, so I brought it to me......"

"Don't try to deceive me! Do you understand what that is?"

"It's a sutra ......"

"Is it an ordinary Buddhist scripture?"

"Just an old Buddhist scripture ......"

"Is it still in your hands?"

"Yes."

Fortunately, he arrived in time, and he didn't have time to get rid of it. Bai Lang finally felt a little relieved.

"Give it to me, hurry!"

"Yes." Tullena walked back into the hut, fumbled for a while, and finally came out, holding a sutra in his hand.

"What? Is this the one?"
