At night, the lake is dark from the shore, and nothing can be seen, and a gust of autumn wind blows, bringing a hint of coolness. It was an autumn night, and everything seemed so calm and serene.

This is the town of Meilin in the southwest of Dongzhou, surrounded by scenic spots and high-end villas around the lakeshore.

The red, yellow, blue, and green colors that shine out from these luxurious buildings form a beautiful picture on the surface of the lake. But in an instant, a gust of autumn wind blew, and they disappeared and reappeared as if by magic.

In Dongzhou, autumn is short-lived. It's late September, but there's a chill in the air. A meteor suddenly streaked across the lake and disappeared into the night.

The thief Bai Lang took advantage of the night and touched the lake. Whispering to the two small boats parked there:

"Hey, you're not there?"

"Boss, we're here early." Soon, a dark shadow appeared in the boat.

"Let's go! I can already hear the sound of cars, and those two guys are probably coming back. Bai Lang said.

"Well, we're all set, boss." Then the two boatmen put their oars into the water.

"Okay, let's go!"

Bai Lang climbed onto the road from the grassy embankment, and a large car with no lights on quietly drove by and stopped in front of him.

Two people with overcoat collars jumped out of the car. The brim of their hats is low, which hides their faces.

Bai Lang shone a flashlight and recognized that these two people were his subordinates Ye Lin and Wu Ji.

They were both young, just over 20 years old. Ye Lin is a person with sharp eyes and a fierce face, and he knows that he is a wicked person at a glance; And Wu Ji is a young man with a delicate face and an amiable face. He was well educated and everyone liked him.

Judging from his speech and demeanor, he must have been born in a good family, and he must have had his last resort to fall to the point where he is today.

They took off their hats and greeted Shirakuro.

"How's it going?" Bai Lang asked in a low voice.

"It's all figured out, that guy has already taken the 7:40 train to Dongzhou."

"What you've seen with your own eyes? Well, it's just past 8 o'clock. Driver, you drive away and come to pick us up at 9:30, this is not a place to park, it will attract attention. ”

After saying that, the driver drove away quietly, and the three of them got into the boat in the lake one after another.

Bai Lang and Wu Ji shared a boat, and Ye Lin got on the other boat.

"Wu Ji, who planned tonight's incident? You, or him?"

Bai Lang pointed to Ye Lin on the other boat with his chin in the darkness and asked in a low voice.

"I can't say exactly who it is, we discussed this half a month ago. After careful investigation, we felt that it was a good deal. So decided to ask the owner to help. ”

"Really? I don't really trust him, though, and he behaves strangely on weekdays. Maybe he's ...... something else."

Speaking of this, Bai Lang paused, "Forget it, leave him alone." Measuring him as a hairy boy, he can't play any tricks! ”

"However, did you two really see Counselor Cheng Qiyan go to Dongzhou with your own eyes?"

"See, boss, why are you so verbose today, this is not like your usual style!"

Wu Ji said with a smile. He has always been very easy-going and educated in front of Bai Lang, as if Bai Lang is his father and his brother, and he is not afraid of Bai Lang in front of other subordinates, so Bai Lang likes him very much.

"What is Cheng Qiyan doing in Dongzhou? You know what?"

Wu Ji said: "He must have gone to see a play, so he will never come back before midnight, but ......"

"But what?" Bai Lang asked.

Ye Lin said: "This old fellow, I don't know what the hell is going on, often go home suddenly after watching half of it, so we must finish it as soon as possible." ”

"An hour is enough, is there anyone else in the room now?" Bai Lang said.

"There should be no one left, and the butler and maid left after eating. A manservant named Xiang Nan also went to Dongzhou with the counselor. ”

"Did you get the key?"

"Only a door key." Wu Ji replied.

"Where's the villa?"

"Look, it's that one, and the yard is next to the shore of the lake." Wu Ji pointed to the right bank of the lake with his hand.

"How can there be anything of value in this kind of villa? You have repeatedly begged me for help, and I have come from Dongzhou. Now it looks like it's a deal that doesn't have much oil and water. Bai Lang didn't think so, and his mood was not high.

"No, boss, don't worry, it's a big deal. Stay for a while and you'll be amazed. Wu Ji hurriedly argued, and seemed to be very concerned about this.

Bai Lang heard this, thought about it carefully, and was a little funny. What the hell are they doing? These two men must have hidden something from themselves.

After a while, two small boats rowed into a bay. On the pier by the lake, a dilapidated shed is set up for stacking goods. On the shore of the lake, Cheng Qiyan's villa looked lifeless under the starlight, without any life.

"Hey, what's wrong with anyone in the house? Look at the lights. Bai Lang said worriedly.

"That light, that's a street lamp for lighting at night! Look, doesn't it even move?"

Ye Lin, who went ashore first, hurriedly replied.

"Well, you guys are waiting here."

Bai Lang gave the boatman an order, and the three of them climbed up the path together. They pushed open the gate of the fence, walked through the courtyard, went around to the main entrance, unlocked it, and sneaked inside. There is an electric light on the outer veryroom.

"That's the light we just saw."

"No, that's not what I saw. Be careful, there may be people in the house. Bai Lang said cautiously.

They crept down the hallway. However, as soon as he pushed open the door of the restaurant, he heard a scream, and then someone forced the door shut from the inside.

"Hey, there's someone in there." Bai Lang frowned and muttered to himself.

The three of them worked together to push the door open. The people in the house ran to the dining room, desperately trying to push open a locked window, and shouted:

"Someone! Lai Qiang...... Steal, kill! The man yelled like crazy.

"Don't shout, we won't kill you."

Shirarou caught up with the man from behind and grabbed him by the shoulder. The man turned around, a gun in his hand.

Bai Lang's eyes were quick, and he lay on the spot. Then a gunshot was heard, and the dishes and bottles on the table shattered to the ground.

Bai Lang hurriedly grabbed the man's legs, threw him to the ground, and said, "Ye Lin, tie this guy up for me." ”

"This guy is Xiang Nan. Why didn't he accompany his master to the play, but he ran back to eat? ”

"I expected this kind of bad luck to happen, why didn't you figure it out beforehand?" Bai Lang stared at Ye Lin in annoyance and said.
