Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Write down where you live and whether you work. If you do, please write down your company and job type... If the investigation yields any results, I will come to your house and let you know as soon as possible."

"OK……"

"And this one, mainly write down when you encountered the robbers yesterday, how much money was robbed and the value of the items. Write down the full names of the items."

The police gave patient instructions.

Xu Damao wrote very quickly. When he wrote about what he had lost, his mind raced and in addition to his own stall and some rhino horn and ivory carvings he had bought from the stall next door, he also wrote about several more things.

But it is written very concisely, for example, five jade bracelets, three jade ornaments, two pine ornaments (pendants, hand-held pieces, ornaments, and bracelets are collectively called ornaments), three antique ceramic bowls, etc.!

Xu Damao's idea was very simple. If the police really found the hiding place of the two robbers and discovered the stolen goods inside, they would definitely let him go and take back what belonged to him. Then... hehe!

After writing two lists, Xu Damao was asked by the police to go to the crime scene.

Xu Damao nodded and walked out the door with Lou Xiaoe.

"Old Zhao, come with me. You are a scout and should know more about this kind of thing than I do. Come with me."

The young policeman shouted to another slightly older policeman.

"Okay, I'll go with you and take a look at the crime scene."

"Xiao'e, sit tight, I'm riding fast, we can't waste other people's precious time."

Xu Damao said this and got on his bicycle.

"Don't ride so fast, safety is the most important thing!"

The policeman named Lao Zhao said with a smile and rode another bicycle.

The three bicycles were not moving very fast on the road. Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were walking in front, and two policemen followed behind.

"Brother Wang, could it be that the boy did this himself?"

Policeman Lao Zhao spoke in a low voice to the policeman driving side by side.

"Why does Brother Zhao say that?"

"That guy said that girl was his blind date. I think that girl is very pretty. Could it be that the guy deliberately arranged for his two friends to kidnap him, and then the young man stepped forward and used the method just now to rescue the girl first..."

"And I'm sure you've noticed that the way the girl looked at that boy just now was a look of recognition and admiration. She has already fallen in love with this boy..."

Old Zhao talked incessantly and expressed his thoughts.

"Okay! Old Zhao, stop harping on Wen Jue. I can tell whether she loves you or not. Old Zhao, I know your daughter is about the same age as the girl just now, and you have a suspicious personality."

"Alas, whoever becomes your son-in-law in the future will definitely suffer because of your suspicious nature..."

"Why do you have to suffer so much for being my brother-in-law? I am very open-minded. As long as my daughter likes him and he has good character, that's fine! Look at what you say about me, brother!"

"My suspicion is also a possibility, right? Didn't you say in the previous meeting that solving a case requires bold assumptions and careful verification? Why can't you just suspect something from me?"

Old Zhao retorted anxiously.

"Old Zhao, you might as well think about it. If this guy really wanted to win the favor of that girl, would he drag that girl to call the police?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if that guy hired someone to stage this scene, would he let his friends rob him with two box guns?"

"Why use a box gun when two kitchen knives or even two sticks can do the job? How powerful is that thing? How dangerous is it? What if it goes off accidentally?"

The young policeman tried to persuade Lao Zhao earnestly.

"That guy is so tall and strong that two sticks can't do anything to him..."

Lao Zhao's voice became smaller and smaller. It seemed that he realized that his analysis was groundless and just his own imagination, but he still refused to admit defeat...

"Old Zhao, since it was that guy's own accomplice who came to rob him, he would definitely not take action. He would just cooperate with his friend and act for the girl. Don't bring a stick. Even if he has bare hands, that guy won't do anything..."

"Okay, okay, you've read a lot of books, so you're right."

Old Zhao had already realized his mistake. He muttered something to himself and rode forward with his head down.

"Xiao E, don't say anything later. Just let me talk. If they ask you, just tell them the truth."

"Ok!"

As they were chatting, they came to the place where Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were robbed.

"You two, this is it. I rode here from that place. It was dark, so I rode very slowly. I took her to about this place, and then the two robbers stopped us at gunpoint. Then we were led to that place at gunpoint."

After getting off the bike with Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao held the handlebars of the bicycle with one hand and used the other hand to gesture and explain to the two policemen.

"Let's go over there and take a look. This place is really remote, the road is not wide, and there are not many houses on both sides. Not many people walk in the broad daylight. These two robbers are definitely veterans, and they really know how to choose a place!"

The young policeman looked around and asked Xu Damao to take them to the place where the robbers had taken them.

"This is it. My partner and I were standing here at the time. The two robbers were standing three or four meters away from me, one in front and one behind. If I had taken two steps back, I would have fallen into this big pit."

Xu Damao acted as if he was recalling the situation at that time and looked scared.

Lou Xiao'e, who was standing next to him, also reached out to grab Xu Damao's sleeve. When she was spotted by the policeman Lao Zhao who followed her, she couldn't help but curl her lips...

"At that time, I said that all the money was on me. Since you wanted money, let my partner go first. I searched my partner's pockets in front of the robbers and found about four dollars. I was too scared at the time to look carefully."

"Then he took out all the money I had on me and said he wouldn't let my partner leave first, so I threw all the money into the pit..."

"Later, I thought my partner had run away, so I took out all the money I had on me. They also searched my basket and took away all the valuable items in it."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he watched the two policemen wandering around the area, stopping from time to time to squat down and look down to look for something.

"Old Zhao, how is it, have you found anything?"

Ten minutes passed before the young policeman stopped and walked up to Lao Zhao to ask questions.

"No, these two robbers were extremely cunning. They didn't leave any traces. There is just one place here that seems to have been hit by a heavy object, but this trace has nothing to do with this case..."
