I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

Seeing Tan Ming's full expression when he mentioned Bao Longxing, Xu Lang asked, "Oh, what method did Master Bao teach you?"

He was also very curious.

"It's a long story, Brother Xu. I'll talk to you in detail later. I have to rush to the Yamen to interrogate these two people. Maybe they have accomplices, so they must be interrogated as soon as possible." Tan Ming said .

Xu Lang naturally knew that in this situation, time was everything and he had to seize the opportunity.

Otherwise, if these thieves really have accomplices and know that the matter is exposed and escape, then it will be more troublesome.

Tan Ming and Xu Lang said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Xu Lang came to the bank and exchanged two hundred taels of gold before leaving.

It's not that he doesn't have money.

But this bank doesn't have that much gold.

"Boy, these two hundred taels can only be regarded as interest."

said the cheap uncle who ate up the two hundred taels of gold in an instant.

"Interest? Aren't you afraid that it will kill you?" Xu Lang said speechlessly.

"Don't be afraid, I have a big appetite." The uncle said in a cowardly manner.

the next day.

Tan Ming came to the Fairy Building to find Xu Lang, his face flushed.

The murder case was solved.

All five murderers were arrested.

These are five repeat offenders.

Commit crimes on the run.

They came to Shicheng recently.

After some inquiring, I learned that the Zhou family was having a happy event that day, so I decided to target the Zhou family this time.

All of their drinks at the Zhou family's banquet were drugged.

A drunk person.

After an hour or two, you will fall asleep.

Not even thunder outside can wake me up.

So they went very smoothly when they destroyed the Zhou family that night.

Although there were a few maids and servants who did not drink, with the cooperation of the five people, they were still killed quietly.

As for why he killed.

Their reason is that if they remain silent, there will be endless troubles.

This is their usual style.

The case is mainly attributed to Bao Longxing.

After Bao Longxing learned about the murder case, he immediately closed all the city gates except the west gate.

At the same time, notices for government searches for the next day were posted everywhere in the city.

The purpose is to frighten the thieves and try their best to move the stolen goods, because once the whole city is searched, outsiders like them will be easily suspected.

Originally, according to their plan, they would leave with the stolen goods as soon as the city gate opened the next day.

But Bao Longxing gave orders too quickly.

It caught them off guard.

Therefore, in order to avoid the search, they had to transfer the stolen goods out of the city in batches several times.

but.

All this was in Bao Longxing's plan.

Anyone who enters the city gate many times will be captured immediately.

When the two people were discovered, they naturally would not sit still and die, so there was a scene of them grabbing a knife and running for their lives, and they happened to be met by Xu Lang.

after that.

After interrogation.

They revealed their accomplices.

That's why the Yamen caught all the gangsters in one fell swoop.

The murder case of the Zhou family was solved within one day, and everyone was celebrating.

Simultaneously.

Bao Longxing's status in the hearts of the people of Shicheng has been improved again.

Riverside.

pier.

An old man warned his son: "Son, your mother is in poor health. Take good care of your mother."

"I know, dad, don't worry, I will take care of mom." The young man said with a smile.

"Come on, I'm only going for two or three days. We'll come back after seeing my girl." An old woman said.

"Hey, are you okay? The boat is about to sail."

On the shore, a awning boat docked there, and the boatman shouted to this side.

"Okay, okay, we have to get on the boat, the boatman is urging us," the old woman said.

"Dad, please go back quickly. We will be back in a few days." The young man said.

"Okay, okay, you guys hurry up and get on the boat. I see you have sailed, and I will go back." The old man said.

The young man supported the old woman and boarded the awning boat.

There were already five or six people on the awning boat, all of whom were going to cross the river to the other side.

The young man and the old woman found a place to sit down and waved to the old man on the pier.

Just when the boatman was about to punt the boat away with a long bamboo pole, a panting middle-aged man came running towards the pier carrying a package.

As the middle-aged man ran, he shouted to the boatman who was about to sail: "Boatman, boatman, wait, wait, wait..."

The middle-aged man finally boarded the awning boat.

"Huh, I'm so exhausted. I almost didn't make it."

The middle-aged man was sitting on the corner of the bow, breathing heavily.

While wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"go!"

With a loud shout from the boatman, the awning boat slowly sailed away from the shore and headed towards the river.

"Grumbling--!"

The middle-aged man who arrived last took out a water bag from the package and filled it with water. He drank most of the water bag before stopping.

Set the water bladder aside.

From the package, he took out something wrapped in oil paper.

Open the oil paper.

Inside was a steaming fried chicken with a fragrant aroma.

He pulled off a chicken leg and ate it.

but.

at this time.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"What are you doing? Throw it away immediately." Someone shouted.

"What's wrong? Just eat a chicken drumstick."

Seeing everyone looking at him angrily, the middle-aged man was a little confused.

"Quick, quick, throw away the chicken. Don't you know you can't eat chicken when crossing the river?"

The person next to him waved his hand and tried to knock the chicken drumstick out of the middle-aged man's hand.

The middle-aged man dodged it and said angrily: "What are you doing?"

"Are you an outsider? Crossing the river to eat meat, the gods in the Jiuqu River will smell the smell and come up to eat people, so throw it away..."

The boatman said anxiously.

"What god?"

The middle-aged man was about to speak.

Sudden.

The originally calm river surface surged involuntarily.

There seemed to be something stirring the river.

"No, the gods are angry."

Someone's voice trembled.

His eyes were full of fear.

Followed by.

"Crack-!"

Not far away, there was a splashing sound in the water, and a huge thing emerged, rushing towards here quickly.

The whole body is missing.

All I could see was the back as steep as a mountain peak.

The middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, he immediately came to his senses, and quickly threw the fried chicken in his hand into the water...

But still too late.

The unknown creature in the water had already rushed over.

Hit the awning boat directly.

"Boom" sound.

The awning boat was hit with a huge force, exploded and broke from the middle.

All the people on the boat fell into the water.

"Help me—!"

"Help--!"

"—"

"Mom, mother, where are you...I caught you, I caught you...ah——"

The sound stopped suddenly...

The old man who watched his wife and children go away by boat was about to turn around and go back when he happened to see the scene of the awning boat being crashed. At that moment, his whole body felt as if he was frozen.

then.

He let out a loud roar and rushed down the dock desperately...
