How to work

On June [-]th, Huajinfang experienced an unprecedented chaos.

The weather was fine that day, and the scorching sun jumped out early in the morning. The boundless love radiated light and heat, as if trying to evaporate all the water in the world.The weather is so hot that it is not cool even under the shade of the trees, and people feel restless and bored. They sweat when they move. People sigh and try to find a comfortable place to stay.

Those who don’t go out stand in front of their windows to fan the wind; those who go to work grab a cool place in the store; even those who carry the burden and sell sour plum soup find high corners and squat under the eaves. Everyone is in a bad mood and bored Looking at the street dullly, passively sabotaging work.

At the end of the day, shadows seemed to emerge from the ground baked by the sun, and people were about to feel dizzy, when suddenly a light figure appeared on the street.

This man was tall and tall, wearing a light green gown of fine kudzu, the soles of his feet moved slightly, his posture was graceful, and his walking speed was extremely fast, people could hardly see his face clearly.

Yes, this is a man. Although he can't see his face clearly and his figure is a little blurry, but he has a flat chest. He must be a man, and he can't be wrong at all.

But this kung fu is too handsome!Everyone couldn't help but follow him.

Everyone looked at it with admiration, thinking that this was a little visual enjoyment brought to them by God during the boring days. Unexpectedly, this figure fluttered and came towards their own shop!

The people who were stunned didn't realize it at all. This person had already entered his shop in a flash. When he just realized and wanted to stop him, he jumped out again. It doesn't matter whether you are admiring or vigilant, it's already too late .

……

This blue-colored figure, which is extremely cool in summer, swayed several streets of Huajinfang like this, and patronized many shops.

Two quarters of an hour later, all the shops that were patronized were blown up, or rolled up their sleeves to copy guys, or knelt down and cried bitterly-the treasure of the shop was stolen!

Under the blue sky and in full view, someone stole the treasure of the shop so easily, what are the shopkeepers and the accountants doing for food!It's a shame, okay?

It's a pity that the little thief ran too fast. They tried their best, but they still couldn't catch up!

The shopkeepers of the shops on the street met out of breath, and when they looked at each other, their eyes were full of anger.To say that Huajinfang is not a big place, petty theft is unavoidable to be honest. Everyone opens the door to do business, and make money in harmony. Throwing three melons and two dates is not a big deal. As long as it does not endanger your own interests, it is considered a bankruptcy and avoids disaster. , no one particularly minded.But the treasure of the store is not ordinary, it is the treasure of the store, the face of the shopkeeper!

After a few thoughts in my heart, I almost immediately reached a consensus when I looked at each other again: report to the official!Must report to the official!The little thief has not gone far in Huajinfang, and now the report will definitely catch him!

Suiwei's headhunter soon brought his men with him.

Headhunter Wei is a responsible and good headhunter, he is very strict and disciplined in his work. Hearing that the thief might not have escaped from Huajinfang, he immediately dispatched all the arresting officers to block several entrances and exits of Huajinfang. The pace is fast and one family asks the situation.

In fact, he didn't need to run away, the shopkeepers immediately got together when they saw him coming, and pulled the guys from their respective stores out, and everyone explained everything about the little thief carefully.

Many people testify, and it is very convenient to find someone.After all, no matter how fast the little thief is, he is blatantly running around in people's sights. People point out where the little thief has gone and where he has stayed for a while.

As we talked, everyone found several of them to be very suspicious.

The thief went to Huajinfang to steal things, and everyone lost money, but why did the thief come to my house to steal things and leave quickly, and stayed in your house for so long?Are you related!Did you help the little thief step on the spot, otherwise, how would the little thief know what the treasure of my town store is, where it is placed, and steal it smoothly?

You traitor of Huajinfang!

Under the scorching sun, everyone was very angry. After nearly an hour passed, the atmosphere became even hotter before the thief was caught.Everyone went from being purely worried at the beginning, to frantically searching the streets, to eloquent verbal battles, and finally started to fight!

At the beginning, they worked together to catch the thief with one voice, and later they directly picked their eyes and poked their nostrils to lift their genitals. From questioning the other party's character to engaging in some unruly sports with the eighteenth female generation of the other party's ancestors, they could scold the street to the fullest.

Seeing that this is not going to work, Wei Butou glared at his tiger's eyes and sank into his dantian, "Stop it!"

The crowd, whose clothes were torn and sweaty, expressed dissatisfaction and did not stop for a moment. A warrior distractedly shouted, "The little thief is still in Huajinfang. He must have been hidden by these traitors. If you don't find it No way, catcher!"

There are many people who respond.

Wei Butou drew out the long knife at his waist, and the sharp and cold eyes blinked.He held a sharp, very imposing sword flower, his gaze was full of dignity, "Officials handle the case, wait for you to dare to make trouble!"

Everyone was startled, and quickly let go of the hand pinching each other's face and nose; the legs wrapped around the other's waist, the skirts of the clothes were neatly trimmed, the eyes swept around as if nothing had happened, coughed twice, and the posture was correct.

It was as if they were not the ones fighting just now.

Headhunter Wei: ... Ha ha.

"Officials will not allow any crime, no matter how big or small the crime is. Today, the little thief committed a crime in Huajinfang, and you can all prove it. Since the clues show that the little thief stayed in several shops for a long time, the shopkeepers are suspicious, and the little thief If they haven’t been caught, then I will lead the police to invite everyone in these shops to the government office and question them one by one.”

As soon as Butou Wei finished his sentence, the two parties in the fight were both joyful and worried, glaring at each other, extremely disharmonious, and there was a possibility of a pinch again.Captain Wei then said slowly to the worried party, "The government is only trying to find out the culprit, it will not wrong the good people, if they are found innocent, they will release them, you don't have to worry."

Therefore, the farce ended with the policemen inviting the people who should be invited to the government office.

Lu Li, Zhao Zhu, and Shen Wansha watched the whole scene by the window on the second floor of the tea house at Huajinfang Jiekou.

Shen Wansha smiled and commented, "The Star Reaching Lightness Kung Fu is not bad, and it runs really fast, but it's too annoying not to like clothes of other colors." In order for that guy to wear light blue clothes, he took a lot of effort.

"Zhai Xing is clever, today's scene depends on him." Lu Li thanked He Lianyu very much.

Zhao Zhu turned his head and snorted coldly, "It's just some small tricks."

"What should we do next?" Shen Wansha rested his chin and looked at the crowd below, "Zhou Xing will be sent to prison!"

Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha's curved eyebrows full of interest, and wanted to say, young master, are you really worried?Anyone can see the expectation on this face...

Reaching for the stars is also pitiful.

Lu Li tilted his head to look downstairs, and happened to see Zhai Xing in the crowd cast a flying eye at Shen Wansha.

Lu Li: ... Worrying about you and I is really unnecessary.

"Next, follow the plan." Lu Li stood up calmly, and greeted Zhao Zhu and his friends, "Let's go."

Catcher Wei took these people to a room as big as three wing rooms, but although the room was big, there was only one set of tables and chairs, and no windows, so the strong sunlight outside couldn't shine in, so they could only light candles. Bright, the atmosphere is very depressing.

"I'm busy today, shall we come one by one, or talk together?"

There were a total of 23 people in the room, seven of them were suspects circled by Lu Li, Zhao Zhu, Shen Wanshah and Lian Yu after sorting out the files, and the rest were the guys who were working when they went to the store to arrest people. Of course, there were plans. The undercover agents who came in were He Lianyu and Yuan Lian.

Some of the suspects had met each other, so He Lianyu made a simple disguise.Yuan Lian also changed his face, but what he needed to guard against was Lu Li, whom he had seen many times.

Yuan Lian felt bitter in his heart because of the huge gap from being a spy to a thief.But this matter needs someone's cooperation. He has been working undercover for many years and has the most experience. Zhao Zhu fully supports his wife and does not allow the matter to fail.

Misunderstood as a traitor, having selfish interests with a thief, everyone was very emotional, "Ask! There is nothing that I can't say!"

"Everyone, don't get excited, take your time." Wei Butou said a few words of reassurance, and sat down at the table, "Come one by one, the first one—"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, an official trotted over with a dignified face, and whispered a few words in the ear of the head guard.

Catcher Wei narrowed his eyes, and his sharp gaze swept over the group of people in front of him. After a while, he stood up, and his voice seemed to contain ice, "Think about it first." After finishing speaking, he walked out!

Which one is this!

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, and everyone stared wide-eyed, not understanding why.

But with two mouthfuls of official characters, it is a headhunter, and ordinary people dare not mess with it. Everyone took up a position separately and waited silently.

Waiting for a stick of incense, two quarters of an hour, half an hour... An hour has passed, and no one has come to take care of them!

Thinking of the look in Wei Butou's eyes before he left, the timid heart began to feel a little uneasy.

Just at this time, the door was kicked open, and a tall man with fierce eyes, arrogant and domineering, and the mood of 'very annoying and don't want to take care of trouble' all over his body walked in.

"Is there a thief among you?" Zhao Zhu stepped forward with his long legs and walked in with his hands behind his back.

His aura was so frightening that everyone in the room stood up unanimously, and their voices became one, "I'm not, I'm not, I'm not!"

Zhao Zhu dug his ears, and walked around the crowd, "Catcher Wei is busy, I don't have time to play with you, you can solve it yourself, find the thief, and you can leave, if you can't... Hehe, wait for the head guard to come back."

Everyone was stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

Zhao Zhu didn't care about them, turned around and left, walked to the door and turned around to remind him kindly, "Oh, Butou Wei is away on a business trip, maybe he won't come back for a few days, you can take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone in the room to react, he ordered the guard at the door, "Lock it! Watch tight, no one is allowed to leave!"

The guard should be here, dutifully closing the door and locking it.

The room immediately exploded, "Who is a thief, stand up quickly, otherwise when we catch you out, you will be beaten lightly!"

Some shouted, some echoed, and naturally some stood silently on the sidelines.

No one obeys anyone.

He Lianyu had long changed into a moon white gown, and stood in a corner with arms folded, secretly making an expression of 'you stupid humans', while silently observing everyone.

Among this group of people, there was Li Lu, the lumberjack of Li Tong's family whom I saw on the mountain before, Li Gui who often stayed at Mu's chariots and horses, and Mao San, the blacksmith who had just made a pot for Meiniang... a lot familiar person.

Li Gui was able to speak well, and from the fact that he was able to earn a lot of rewards in Sixing Mile, it could be seen that although this person was a small person, he could still gain a place in the circle of small people.It was he who hit the head just now when he called for the little thief to stand up. After he shouted loudly, there were many people responding.Most of these guys were not on the list and were caught temporarily. They were anxious in their hearts and had a very eager attitude.

Li Lu, a lumberjack, was relatively dull, standing silently against the wall, as if he didn't dare to step forward and shout out. He refused to accept that he was locked up, but he couldn't solve it.

There were a lot of people who behaved like him. In addition to Li Gui taking the lead in being active in the room, it was Li Lu who was negative.It's just that everyone's personality is different, and their expressions and behaviors will be different. For example, some people completely ignore everything, without sadness or joy, without hatred or anger, and have a flat face.

Yuan Lian took action at this time. He has been an undercover agent for many years, and he is familiar with the behavior characteristics and greeting methods of various classes.He winked and stepped forward, "There are more than 20 of us, and there is only one thief. He doesn't recognize it, and we can't see it. Not only is it fruitless, but it also makes us angry. Why bother? According to me, it's better to chat and have fun. Games... We all travel around to earn a living with our strength, but thieves are not, whoever can't join us, who doesn't understand our affairs, is a thief!"

When everyone heard it, it made sense!Officials don't care, they are ordinary people, who knows how to ask for a confession, the most conceivable method is to beat up, the thief should be recruited if it hurts, but what if the thief is cunning and can't find it?This method is not bad, the little thief will definitely show his secrets when playing!

Li Gui immediately stood up with a smile on his hands, "What's the name of this brother? What a fantastic idea, I can't wait!"

"It's easy to say," Yuan Lian cupped his hands in return, showing white teeth in a smile, "Brother was born without father and mother, and grew up in a ruined temple. The monks nicknamed me Tie Er. Everyone will never give up and call me Tie Er." Two will do."

The two chatted for a while, and everyone gathered here agreed to this method.

Yuan Lianchao gritted his teeth at the people standing against the wall, "The minority obeys the majority. If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for picking a ladle and sending it to the guards."

Except for He Lianyu and Yuan Lian, no one knew why this sudden encounter happened, and no one was a thief. Naturally, he was full of confidence, why refused!

So the game played like this.

First, he talked about various local dirty jokes, injustices that only this class would encounter, obsessed with a certain lady, red card in a brothel, and then played a very special gambling game, and confessed special jargon when he lost...

The atmosphere changed from tense when Zhao Zhu came in to relaxed.It was almost noon, during the lunch time, not only was this group of people not negative, their cheerful laughter almost pierced the sky.

Of course, extroverted people are more lively, people like Li Lu and Mao San are still relatively low-key, with no obvious changes in expression.

He Lianyu still used his actions to act as a cold-tempered and arrogant person. Of course, his performance was very subtle, except for smart people.

Soon, the critical turning point came.

Everyone wants to find the little thief in the crowd, and their eyes are wide open while having fun, there is no way, the game is attractive, and 'going home' is even more attractive!

He quickly got into a ball with everyone, and the affectionate Yuan Lian was exposed.

When he bent over to pick up stones for gambling games, something fell from his arms.

When Li Gui saw the thing touched his chest, his face immediately fell down, "This purse is mine!"

Yuan Lian froze for a moment, grinned awkwardly, scratched his head, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it."

This performance, anyone with eyes can see, this is a thief!

Li Gui immediately took the lead in arresting Yuan Lian, and sneered, "So you are that thief! In vain we call you brothers and sisters!"

Yuan Lian exclaimed, "Brother, brother, show mercy!"

"Keep your mother's love!" Li Gui squinted his eyes, "I finally understand, you took the initiative to organize the organization, you want to be the boss in this room, let everyone believe you, you use tricks to frame others, everyone will believe you You, of course, if you say who is a thief, and you make false arguments, everyone will think who is a thief, hehe, what a skill! It’s a pity that the sky has eyes, you didn’t expect to be here now!”

Yuan repeatedly begged for mercy, but the people led by Li Gui refused, they repeatedly called the guards outside, and happily handed over Yuan Lian.

Lu Li, Shen Wansha and Zhao Zhu stood on the high flying pavilion outside the courtyard, watching Yuan Lian being escorted out in a panic.

"Where did you find this undercover agent?" Lu Li pointed at Yuan Lian, frowning slightly, "The body shape is similar to that of the inspector."

That is the envoy!

Shen Wansha covered his mouth, and looked at Zhao Zhu in horror: "There are so many talented people under his command, why do we have to use people whom Xiao Lizi has met before!"

"Things are similar, but people are similar." Zhao Zhu was very calm, "It looks like the inspector, he should be honored."

"Hmm..." Lu Li smiled and looked at Zhao Zhu, "That's right."

It's so easy to believe!Shen Wansha continued to cover his mouth in horror.Zhao Zhu glanced over coolly, he immediately let go of his hands behind his back in fright, and shook his head vigorously to indicate that he would not reveal his secrets!

In fact, Zhao Zhu used Yuanlian only because his technique was particularly good, and the success rate of deceiving these people was ten to ten.

……

After everyone in the room handed Yuan Lian over, the guards didn't let them go, and kept them locked in the room without saying anything.

As time went by, the dark room, the beating stomach, and the unknown hour all put tremendous pressure on them.They began to panic, and inexplicable fear climbed up, and no one dared to speak.

Some wise people suspected that He Lianyu had fallen in love with him, thinking that he was the little thief, so they kept their eyes on him.He Lianyu could feel this kind of attention. With a smile on his lips, he found these people.

The murderer in this case is here, so we should focus on it.

At the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, people with poor psychological endurance almost collapsed, and some people began to cry softly.

At this time, Lu Li appeared.

He asked the guard to open the door and walked in calmly.

"You probably don't understand why you are not let out." Lu Li smiled and said softly, "Because there is a murderer among you."

He laughed at Yan Yan, and said such a sentence so easily, everyone in the room was shocked, even Li Gui, who was the most troubled, seemed to be stupid, and was speechless in a daze.

Someone boldly asked, "You said... there is a murderer among us?" His voice was trembling, obviously frightened.

"Yes." Lu Li stood with his hands behind his back, with a tall and straight figure, "It's the famous beheading case. The murderer went to many places, killed dozens of people, chopped off their heads, and dumped their bodies in the wilderness. Hmm... This murderer has been praised by all of you, I think you should not be afraid to share the same room with him."

Someone in the room started shaking.When it's nothing to do with the matter, the rumors are just rumors, they pass it around, talk about it, how can they not be afraid if they are really in the same room with a murderer, what if this person goes crazy and kills himself?

Lu Li's eyes were flat, and he glanced at every part of the room, making everyone think that he was looking at him. There was a faint pressure in his calm voice, "And I can find you."

"Now the head catchers are busy, and the superiors can't spare time. They ordered me to take charge of this matter. It's too late. I'm very tired. I don't want to waste too much energy, so I'll give you a chance." He stood in the middle of the crowd, his voice weak Liang, "Before dawn, you stand up by yourself. I promise, I will help you fight for a commutation of your sentence. After all, you must be very bitter in your heart for committing such a big case, but if you don't stand up, don't blame me for being cruel."

He circled the room, "You may not believe that I can get you out, so I will give you a few key words. Woman, cook, tavern, secret road, Yuanlai Inn... On a certain winter night, Occasionally, I learned that a certain person has a habit. This person’s identity can give you access to some news, and this habit can let you hear important things, so you follow all the way...Use this information to commit crimes.”

"You killed Si Xingying. The place of capture was Yuanlai Inn, and you threw the body in Xiaolian Mountain, using a secret way."

"You are a foreigner, and no one is protecting you. Since you are already here, it is a piece of cake to search your work place and residence." Lu Li smiled slightly, "The arresters in the government office have already acted. No matter how well you can hide it, the murder weapon, the route of travel, the working hours... you can't hide it. Moreover, since the afternoon, the officials began to search around the city and the suburbs, and we have already found the head..."

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you stand up or not. I will find you out tomorrow morning. You can't run away." Lu Li clapped his hands and walked out with a relaxed and confident expression, "You can do whatever you want, and the result will always be you One person bears it."

After his figure left, the door slammed shut, the heavy iron chain stirred, and the huge lock slammed shut.

Seeing Lu Li, Shen Wansha immediately pounced on him, very curious, "Isn't that the only way to catch them back? Why did you play all the previous tricks?"

"Because I want to knock down his psychological defense little by little." Lu Li smiled, "After experiencing so many things in a day, my mood is relieved, bad, happy, and angry several times, and finally faced with such a fright...it is the murderer, It will also mess up your hands and feet."

"Oh...then we will surely succeed in this way?" Shen Wansha clapped his hands excitedly.

"It's only a matter of He Lianyu's finishing touch," Lu Li blinked, "Let's look forward to it!"
