Xiao Liu and Murong Yan walked towards the direction of Tongfu Inn together. The two of them chatted while walking along the way. Murong Yan asked Xiao Liu about the people and things about Tongfu Inn from time to time.
"Deputy Capt. Yan, what is Tongfu Inn like? I heard Capt. Xing just say that they made a great effort in capturing Ji Wuming." Murong Yan asked without leaving any trace.
Xiao Liu knew what Murong Yan was thinking, but it was very rude to remain silent and it was not his usual style. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said:
"They are a group of very interesting people. Although they all have their own shortcomings, they are all very good people. In addition, some very interesting things always happen when you are with them."
"Very interesting thing? For example?" Murong Yan asked curiously. She was trying to take this opportunity to find out about some specific people and things.
However, Xiao Liu refused to say any more. He shook his head and smiled:
"I won't say more about this. After all, this is a private matter in the store. If Miss Murong is interested, you might as well ask them in person. They are a group of people who are easy to communicate with."
Murong Yan also nodded when she heard this. At the same time, she glanced at Xiao Liu and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that Deputy Chief Yan was not only highly skilled in martial arts and thoughtful, he was also very ethical. I really admire him!"
After saying that, Murong Yan also hugged her fists to show respect to Xiao Liu.
But after hearing Murong Yan's praise, Xiao Liu shook his head and smiled:
"No way, Miss Murong is overly praised. Yan just doesn't like talking about people behind their backs, but he doesn't dare to take the word ethics seriously. As for his strong martial arts skills and delicate mind, it is impossible to talk about it."
"Deputy Chief Yan is so humble. The skill you used when catching a thief shocked Yan deeply."
Murong Yan said with a smile that perhaps no one else saw when Xiao Liu hit the stone, but she noticed it. She didn't expect that there would be a master like Xiao Liu in such a small town.
"Besides, Deputy Yan saw through that little thief's disguise at a glance. How can we say that this is impossible to discuss?" Murong Yan explained one by one.
Xiaoliu didn't expect Murong Yan to have such good eyesight in addition to his meticulous logic. Although he was just practicing his finger-snap magical power, his techniques were very concealed.
And coupled with the extremely fast speed when the stone was struck, most people would not be able to notice that it was his hand if they did not deliberately stare at his hand.
But this is not an incomprehensible thing. After all, Murong Yan is a woman who dares to travel thousands of miles alone to catch the Thief Saint, and she is still engaged in an offending profession like a reporter. If she does not know martial arts, then Xiaoliu is Don't believe it.
As for whether her martial arts was high or low, Xiaoliu couldn't tell, but he thought it should be pretty good.
"But Yan is a little confused. Why didn't the little thief hide the stolen goods first? Instead, he dared to take it with him to the county government to report the crime. Isn't this asking for death?"
While Xiao Liu was thinking, Murong Yan thought about the previous case and asked with some confusion.
Xiao Liu smiled and explained:
"Actually, it's very simple. The reason why he hid the things on his body was just because he didn't have enough time. After he hid the soybean oil and stick noodles, he didn't want Shopkeeper Ge to come to the rice shop early today, so in desperation, he I had to stuff the rice bag into my pants.”
"And in order to prevent Shopkeeper Ge from doubting himself, he quickly came up with a way to portray himself as a victim so that people would not doubt him for the first time, and then find a way to secretly give the things to him. Transport away.”
"Honestly, he is really good at playing under the hood, but it's a pity that this method is to take risks. Once someone discovers it, it will be captured on the spot."
"Well, are you hiding yourself among innocent people?" Murong Yan seemed to have thought of something when she heard this and nodded.
When Xiao Liu saw her nodding and listened to her murmuring words, he secretly thought, "Oh no, he talked a bit too much. You'd better be happy for yourself, Lao Bai."
"Deputy Chief Yan, can you tell me more about what happened when Ji Wuming was arrested? I can't remember it clearly." Murong Yan raised her head and asked.
Xiao Liu knew what Murong Yan was planning and asked repeatedly to confirm the key clues. He smiled and shook his head.
"No need, Miss Murong, Tongfu Inn has arrived." Xiao Liu pointed to the signboard next to him and said.
When Murong Yan heard this, she quickly looked up and found that the signboard above indeed had the four characters "Tongfu Inn" written on it.
"Miss Murong, if you want to know about Ji Wuming, the people in the inn will naturally know best. Come on, please come with me." When Xiao Liu said this, he deliberately amplified his voice as a reminder. Lao Bai.
However, Xiaoliu was disappointed. Lao Bai, who had always been smart in the past, did not come out as usual. Instead, Xiao Guo Xunsheng came out of the store to welcome him.
"Hey, Xiao Liu is here." Xiao Guo greeted enthusiastically, but when he saw Murong Yan next to Xiao Liu, her enthusiastic face suddenly froze.
Xiaoliu didn't care. He walked into the store curiously and saw Lao Bai sleeping on the table.
"Brother Bai, what's going on?" Xiao Liu asked the shopkeepers who had just been attracted by his voice.
The shopkeeper smiled and explained: "Zhantang stayed up too late last night, so he was catching up on his sleep. Xiaoliu, what did you just say about Ji Wuming?"
The shopkeeper asked nervously. She had experienced Ji Wuming's ferocity before.
Xiao Liu saw that the shopkeeper generously allowed Lao Bai to sleep in broad daylight, and knew that only Lao Bai had such treatment. If it were Xiao Guo and Dazui, he would definitely be punished.
But now is not the time to sleep. If you don't get up and make up a perfect lie, your vest will fall off.
As for asking the shopkeepers to answer Murong Yan's questions, it was basically equivalent to telling Murong Yan the standard answer directly.
Xiao Liu quickly pushed Lao Bai: "Get up, Brother Bai, Brother Bai, I have something to ask you."
Murong Yan and the shopkeepers looked at Xiao Liu's actions. Although they felt a little strange, they did not stop him. They felt that Xiao Liu's actions must have his own intentions.
However, Lao Bai slept a little hard this time. Xiaoliu didn't wake him up even after calling several times. Several people from the shopkeeper also came over to call Lao Bai.
"I don't dare anymore!" At this moment, Lao Bai suddenly shouted and woke up, as if he had had a nightmare.
Seeing that Lao Bai finally woke up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the words he shouted made Xiao Liu helplessly smile. Xiao Liu glanced at Murong Yan inadvertently. Sure enough, Murong Yan was observing Lao Bai with a strange expression at this time.
