Chapter 152
Chapter 152
Originally, they were on patrol and only saw a wild cat running by at a very fast speed. Soon after, they saw a person flying by lightly and quickly.
Wuzhong County is also an important border town. It is unacceptable that someone dares to break the curfew in front of the government troops.
But as they chased, they only saw the night watchman beating the gong and shouting that there was a thief. The people and living things that were there before were nowhere to be seen.
However, not long after, everyone discovered blood on the street and chased after them, leading them to where the gate was open.
Taoist Priest Hengxi said: "There are thieves in the hospital, and I have no choice but to rescue them first after receiving the news.
Everyone, have you checked the front yard?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the back of the queue came to report: "General, people have been found poisoned in several rooms ahead. Everything is in a mess."
"My grandpa." Shen Xiaoye bit her tongue and rushed from the ground to the room next to hers. The room was filled with lingering smoke.
The two little ones followed her closely and jumped onto the bed before her.
Shen Xiaoye reached out her hand and felt the breath from her grandfather's nose as he lay sideways. She breathed a sigh of relief, but accidentally inhaled the poisonous smoke while inhaling.
"Xiao Ye, go ahead." Taoist Master Hengxi and a soldier holding a torch came in, and the room was immediately lit up.
He grabbed the wine gourd on his waist and threw it towards Shen Xiaoye.
"Ahem." Shen Xiaoye quickly caught it and poured the wine all over his own face, then poured it on the two little ones.
Hengxi approached the messy bed and saw old man Shen Shanyou's dark red face, and knew that he had been poisoned by a lot of drugs.
After taking the pulse, he checked the teapot and found that the smell inside was indeed wrong. It was a very rare knockout drug that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
"Your grandpa drank tea laced with knockout drugs and was poisoned by smoke.
You feed him this medicine, I have to see how the others are doing. Don't close the door." Taoist Master Hengxi left the medicine and opened the window, then led the soldiers away, but he did light the lamp for her.
As soon as Shen Xiaoye relaxed, she felt pain all over her body. "Little cat, you guys came back pretty quickly. Did you catch that guy?"
“He sneaked into a restaurant where there were a lot of women, and someone followed him in.
The Taoist priest and I sat on the rooftop opposite and watched. Then the little leopard came. It was so stupid that it could only whimper. If I hadn't run back cleverly, the Taoist priest wouldn't have come. "After the little black cat finished the message, he licked the wine on his face. It didn't taste good.
Shen Xiaoye held up the little leopard to check its injuries and pointed at the blood on its body: "The Taoist priest can also see this."
It should be the blood of a thief. The little guy didn't have any injuries. He was fast and dodged the attack of the long stick very flexibly. He was hit several times but avoided the fatal points.
But when Shen Xiaoye touched its belly, the little leopard whimpered in pain. She quickly took a closer look and saw a swollen and bleeding stick mark.
"You bastards, don't expect any of them to have an easy life if we find them." She gritted her teeth, took out a porcelain bottle from the space, and quickly applied medicine to the little leopard.
The little black cat no longer complained about the little leopard, but instead stuck close to it to show its closeness.
Soon, it noticed that grandpa moved, and Shen Xiaoye hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Ye? I'm glad you're okay." Shen Shanyou raised his hand to rub his forehead. He was caught off guard and fell into the trap.
Then he asked, "What time is it? Do you know who did it?"
"It's already midnight, Master Wu Qi's family thief.
Grandpa, your bag is gone, your clothes are a little messy, and the banknotes may have been stolen." Shen Xiaoye had just checked that the bag containing the clothes beside Grandpa was gone, and he kept other important things on his body.
Shen Shanyou smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, you have kept the pass and the large-value banknotes. I only have 20 taels of banknotes and 5 taels of change on me."
He noticed that his granddaughter's hair and clothes were messy, and sat up quickly, "Where are you hurt? There's blood."
"No injuries, they were thieves, but they ran away in large numbers. Taoist Hengxi came back in time." In fact, Shen Xiaoye was beaten many times, but it was not obvious.
Shen Shanyou didn't believe it: "I'm fine, let's go find a doctor."
“No need, Grandpa. There are government troops searching ahead, and the people in the courtyard are probably poisoned.
Taoist Priest Hengxi is busy treating him." Shen Xiaoye pressed him down.
Shen Shanyou felt a sharp pain in his head at this moment: "My sense of taste is not very good as I get older. I didn't expect that after years of escorting, I would be poisoned by a cup of tea on the table. Fortunately, the other party only wanted money."
He realized something was wrong only after he finished drinking the tea, but the drug was too strong and he lay on the table unable to move. He wanted to reach out and push away the teapot and teacup to warn Xiaoye, but he couldn't do it.
"Grandpa, he is a servant of Master Wu Qi. Not only did he put drugs in the tea, he also blew drugs.
When I came in, you were lying on your side on the bed.
I was not alert enough and didn't hear the unusual movement in your room." Shen Xiaoye thought that it would be better not to let the little black cat watch the fun in the future. It is much more alert than the little leopard, and the key is that it can talk and transmit sound.
Shen Shanyou said: "There is a small hall between the two rooms, it's normal that you didn't hear it."
While the two were exchanging information, Master Wu Qi and his buyer's shopkeeper came stumbling in from outside the door. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Brother Shen, Miss Shen, luckily you are all right.
This gang of thieves stole all the gold that was just sent from the city as compensation. There must be a thief inside the house working with them."
"One of them is the guy who takes care of Uncle Mo during the day. I heard his voice, so I can't be mistaken." When Shen Xiaoye went out, he put all the valuables into the space, leaving only a cross-body backpack and a bag for show.
Then he asked, "Did he know Uncle Mo before? Were they familiar with each other?"
"What do you mean, young lady? Did you see Lao Mo also participate?" The buyer and the shopkeeper were surprised.
Shen Xiaoye said after careful consideration: "I'm just curious, who is missing from this courtyard? Has Master Wu Qi selected anyone?"
"Not yet. But this guy was recommended by the manager below. I'll go ask him now.
I apologize for causing you trouble, I will compensate you." Master Wu Qi clasped his fists and left. The shopkeeper didn't want to stay, but he looked at Shen Xiaoye before leaving, and then separated from Master Wu Qi and went to find Lao Mo.
Of course he didn't find anyone, because the people who were following Lao Mo had already captured him and the contact person and took them away.
On this side, the patrol soldiers had already handed over the case, and the officer in charge of investigating the case quickly found Shen Xiaoye to inquire about what happened.
But when daybreak came, when these people were looking for the only two missing Uncle Mo and his companions, they found that they were not allowed to post wanted warrants.
Moreover, Shen Xiaoye and others were guarded at the Wu family by a team of soldiers and were not allowed to go out. It was not until after noon that someone came to see them.
"Is it them?" The little black cat quietly sent a message to Shen Xiaoye who was waiting in line to greet him.
Shen Xiaoye was extremely surprised. As soon as she nodded, Captain Zhao, who had entered the main hall, called her in.
Grandpa Shen Shanyou followed her to the door, but was stopped by someone and only Shen Xiaoye was allowed to enter.
"Grandpa, I'm just a witness, it's okay." Shen Xiaoye comforted his grandfather and bowed as he entered the door: "Greetings, the centurion."
"No need to be polite, Miss Shen. Why are you always involved in my cases?" Captain Zhao joked with a smile.
Shen Xiaoye sighed: "I don't want to either."
"Alas, it's going to be difficult for you to get away this time." Captain Zhao also sighed.
