Chapter 2043 Handling the case impartially 3
The shop owner received one hundred taels of gold but still had a request. There was only one chance to search each room, and the structure of the house could not be damaged to disturb the guests. The middle-aged man was very confident that he would find the box, so he agreed readily without taking it seriously.
In his opinion, the box was as big as a person's height. It would not be easy to hide it in any room. It could be easily found by opening the door and searching it.
But in fact it's far from that easy. The inn covers an area of dozens of acres and has several entrances, and there are hundreds of rooms upstairs and downstairs. Even if you just take a quick look around, it will take you several hours to complete it, and even more
To the middle-aged man's disappointment, after searching for two hours and checking every room before and after, there was no clue about the box.
Under the supervision of hundreds of pairs of eyes inside and outside, even if someone secretly moves the box, it is impossible. As for the secret tunnel basement, it can be easily revealed under the strong spiritual sense of the middle-aged man. In fact, it is
There is no secret room or secret passage at all. Is the inn really innocent and the thief has already stolen the box out of the inn?
The shop owner's expression became more and more relaxed, and he said sarcastic remarks proudly, completely ignoring the increasingly gloomy expression of the middle-aged man. Seeing that there were only a few rooms left that had not been searched, Liang Yong was also secretly anxious. He couldn't find the box beforehand.
It was as simple as the agreement. Judging from the middle-aged man's demeanor, he was determined to get the box. If he couldn't find the box, he would definitely become angry and furious. He would definitely demolish the house to look for it, and the conflict would definitely break out again. Then there would be no room for maneuver.
At the same time, Liang Yong always felt that something was wrong. The middle-aged man's search method was good, and it was no problem to send his men to guard each checkpoint to prevent thieves from moving the boxes. However, Liang Yong still felt that the middle-aged man had made a mistake somewhere, and he had not caught it yet.
The key to the problem is that such a blanket investigation will not be effective.
"Captain, I think he should check the guest rooms he has stayed in." The thin man came over and winked and said, seemingly discussing with Liang Yong in a low voice, but it happened to be heard by the middle-aged man.
Many times, just an unintentional reminder can change the situation, not to mention the thin man's unintentional words. With his profound knowledge in this field, he can see more clearly than everyone present. He has already thought of the doubts in Liang Yong's heart.
.But this person was sophisticated and deliberately brought it up seemingly casually. If the middle-aged man could understand it, it would not cause much resentment to the store owner.
The middle-aged man's body trembled, his eyes shone with divine light, and he instantly understood what the thin man meant. This guy could lead a caravan of hundreds of people, and he was definitely a very smart person. The thin man's reminder was enough.
But after a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he did not take action immediately, but continued to search the remaining guest rooms without revealing his expression. The ending was of course disappointing, as he still found nothing.
"Hahaha, I just said that the things are not in the inn, and now I ask you to search them. You should just pay the money and leave!" The shop owner sneered in a sinister manner.
The middle-aged man glared at him and said coldly: "Humph, I won't keep it even if you beg me to find the box." Before the shop owner could answer, he ordered his entourage: "Let's go back to the room to pack things."
Saying this made the store owner secretly happy, thinking that you were finally going to get out. This ending was naturally the best. The box was not found, and he still got an extra 0 taels of gold compensation in vain. When the thief came to take the box, he still
You can get a commission.
Simply sending Buddha to the west, the group followed the middle-aged man to the door of their guest room on the second floor.
"Hahaha, you haven't checked out yet. This is still your private territory, so I won't go in. Please excuse me." The store owner pretended to be generous and faked a smile, and even children could hear the sarcasm.
"We don't have any dirty secrets here." The middle-aged man sneered, kicked open the door and stepped in, deliberately leaving the door open. The attendant also made an invitation gesture to Liang Yong and others.
Liang Yong was not polite, and he and the thin man followed him in. This made the store owner a little embarrassed, so he had to follow him in.
The layout of the room is no different from most rooms. The living room, bedroom, and limited furniture can be seen clearly at a glance. Every time Liang Yong sees these backward living facilities in the fairy world, he sighs in his heart: "Maybe it is the fairy world.
The harsh conditions and uncivilized folk customs have led to the increasing ridicule of cultivators in the human world. In the past few thousand years, no one has become an immortal through cultivation. On the contrary, the material living standards of the human world have greatly improved, far exceeding the immortal world. The human world has
It’s a modern society, but this place is still ruled by backward feudal lords, and no one has ever seen the modern technology from the human world spread to the fairy world..."
Take the guest room in front of you as an example. The human world already has a luxurious presidential suite, which has a kitchen, bathroom, and various entertainment facilities, and even an indoor swimming pool. But here there is still a washbasin, footpan, urine bucket, etc.
A screen solves the problem and there is no smell in the bedroom.
The middle-aged man did not pack his things after entering the room. Instead, he and his men walked around in circles and continued to search carefully in the room, even hitting the walls with their fingers. Their minds were not at all about packing their luggage and checking out.
Instead, continue to search for the missing box.
There was a trace of nervousness in the impatient eyes of the shop owner, which was caught by Liang Yong. It seemed that the problem was in this room. Even if the shop owner was not a thief, he still had something to do with it.
It's a pity that the middle-aged man is obviously an idiot in this regard. The two of them hammered back and forth in the room for half an hour and still found nothing. Seeing that they could no longer delay, Liang Yong winked at the thin man and motioned for him to help search. Even though he knew that he would offend the store owner, he did not
There's a solution. The only way to calm down the situation today is to find the box.
The thin man followed and wandered around the room. Looking at his expression, Liang Yong thought of Shuo Shu again. Although Shuo Shu was not a thief as a profession, their sneaky behavior in the Liang Shang Junzi profession was very similar, and their techniques were similar.
"Captain, are you thirsty? I'll make you a cup of tea." The thin man came up with an idea just by walking around the room. While greeting Liang Yong, he walked to the Eight Immortals table in the center of the living room and tapped his fingers twice on the table.
He picked up the two cups from the tea tray and went to the table on the side, seemingly to get the tea cans on the table. But the two tea cans were just decorations. The middle-aged man had looked at them several times just now to see what was inside.
None, where can he get tea.
This time, the middle-aged man did not fully understand the thin man's intention. When he saw the thin man knocking on the table, he thought something was going on under the Eight Immortals' table. He quickly came over and kicked the solid wood table, which weighed a hundred kilograms, into the air and exploded in the air.
It has to be smashed. I think there is something fishy under the table.
The shop owner's face changed drastically, and he rushed over. The butcher knife on his waist was already in his hand, and he roared: "What do you mean? You can't find something and you act wild. Grandpa, this is not a place where you can act wild. You will pay for the table."
, this is a solid wood table made of 50 taels of gold."
