savior catcher

Chapter 6
Mu Liufeng left the Yamen, went straight to the grocery store, and bought Fragrant Vitex Flowers and Wuyan Tea.

Fragrant wattle was the flower petals Hemingway used to bathe before his death, and Wuyan tea was the tea he drank before his death.

Before Mu Liufeng left, he took a special look at the cup of tea and found that the tea had already been drunk.

At that time, Muliufeng felt uncomfortable with the fragrance of jingjing flower and Wuyan tea.

Buying them now is to verify the guess in my heart.

After leaving the grocery store and passing by an inn, Mu Liufeng suddenly heard a fierce quarrel upstairs.

As a police officer, Mu Liufeng had to go up and see the situation.

When we reached the third floor, there were already many spectators around the door of the room.

Mu Liufeng separated from the crowd and squeezed in, and found a woman in white who was getting angry.The shopkeeper and Xiao Er obediently stood aside to apologize.

The woman in white is wearing a long white skirt, which is dotted with white flowers. It makes the woman in white look elegant and graceful, giving her an intellectual temperament of a lady.

However, what the woman in white said was somewhat inconsistent with her image.

The woman in white was clearly sullen, and she was scolding the shopkeeper and the waiter loudly: "I lost my sachet at your inn, you must find it for me."

The shopkeeper, on the other hand, looked like a dumb man eating coptis, with an unspeakable grievance expression: "Girl, this thief stole something and ran away long ago. Where can we find the sachet for you?"

"But your things were lost in our inn, and we will definitely be responsible. You tell me a price, and we will compensate you according to the price."

The woman in white was also very surprised. The shopkeeper had promised to compensate her for the loss, but she didn't appreciate it: "That sachet is the only relic my mother left me, and it can't be measured by money. I don't want money, I just want my sachet !"

The shopkeeper has to come into contact with countless people of all kinds every day, and has long since developed the ability to talk to people and tell ghosts.

It was the first time he met such an unreasonable and unnegotiable guest like the woman in white.

The shopkeeper had an idea, and came up with a compromise plan: "Girl, can you see if this works? Let's report to the government and let the government help you find the sachet."

The woman in white, however, was too unreasonable to forgive others, and instead she became petty: "What's the use of reporting to the official? I want my sachet right now, so get it back for me quickly."

Mu Liufeng knew that according to their "negotiation" method of not being on the same channel, the problem might never be resolved.

As a last resort, Mu Liufeng had no choice but to go over and show his badge: "I'm the Yamen catcher, please tell me what's going on?"

When the shopkeeper saw Mu Liufeng, it was like seeing a savior, and immediately told the whole story:

"Officer, you come to comment. This girl lost her sachet in the room, and we insist on finding it for her."

"Originally, the loss of things is the guest's own problem, and has nothing to do with our inn. But for her poor sake, I promised to compensate her for the loss in an equivalent amount. Instead, she is not happy. Do you think she is making trouble out of no reason?"

After hearing the shopkeeper's words, the woman in white was already in a bad mood, and became even more furious: "The things were lost in your inn, of course you have the responsibility to find them for me!"

Mu Liufeng hurriedly comforted the woman in white: "Girl, please be patient and please tell me how the thing was lost."

Perhaps it was because of Mu Liufeng's identity as a police officer, but the woman in white really calmed down.Trying to recall, he said:

"After I entered the room, I asked Xiao Er to bring me a cup of fragrant tea. Then I went into the inner room to change clothes, but forgot the folding fan on the table."

"When I heard the noise outside, the folding fan was still there, but the sachet tied to it was missing."

Mu Liufeng listened to the situation told by the woman in white. If she did not lie, then this should be a premeditated theft.

If the thief acted on impulse, he would not have stolen the sachet and left the fan.

But why the thief wanted to keep the fan, Mu Liufeng couldn't figure it out for a while.

In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Mu Liufeng asked Xiaoer about the situation at that time.

Xiao Er opened his mouth quickly, and explained everything clearly in one breath, as if he had typed a draft:
"After I brought the guest officer to the room, she asked me to bring a cup of fragrant tea. I made the tea and just brought it into the room, someone punched me in the back, and I fainted at that time. After waking up , things have become like this.”

After a little thought, Mu Liufeng figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

Mu Liufeng smiled and asked the woman in white: "Girl, your sachet must be very expensive."

The woman in white had a serious face, and she did not hide her arrogance at all: "That's natural, I'm afraid there won't be another sachet that is exactly the same in this world."

Mu Liufeng turned around and smiled at Xiaoer, and discussed: "Since the girl's sachet is so precious, I think you should return it to her."

Xiao Er's face changed drastically, his hands were tightly clasped together, rubbing each other nervously:
"Officer, did you make a mistake. I passed out as soon as I entered the door. How could I have a chance to steal the sachet?"

Mu Liufeng kindly persuaded: "Second brother, I don't think you are a bad person, so I will give you a chance. As long as you return the sachet to this girl, I will not hold you accountable. What do you think?"

Xiao Er was uncomfortable with Mu Liufeng's calm eyes, as if all the secrets in his heart had been seen through by Mu Liufeng.

Xiao Er couldn't bear the panic in his heart any longer, and suddenly knelt on the ground, yelling for injustice: "Officer, I know that the people don't fight with officials, but you can't frame me like this!"

Seeing that Xiao Er was pitiful, the onlookers immediately pointed at Mu Liufeng.

Seeing this, the woman in white hurriedly said: "Master, although the sachet is precious, it will not affect your future. I think it's better to forget about it!"

Mu Liufeng turned to look at the woman in white, and asked a little funny: "Does the girl also think that I am bullying others?"

The woman in white remained silent, acquiescing to Mu Liufeng's statement.

Mu Liufeng was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect to be able to help others.

Mu Liufeng no longer pretended to be submissive: "Little brother, you did a really good job in this play, but you left a huge flaw when you stole the sachet. No matter how good the play is, it won't help."

The support of everyone at the scene gave Xiao Er a lot of confidence.Xiaoer thought, as long as he refused to admit it, Mu Liufeng would have nothing to do with him:
"You don't need to lie to me, the official. There are so many people at the scene. If you can't produce evidence, don't spout blood."

Mu Liufeng's patience was finally worn out. In fact, this was a theft case full of loopholes.The reason why he didn't expose the murderer immediately was because the murderer didn't look like a bad guy, and Mu Liufeng wanted to give him a chance to reform himself.

It is true that the duty of a police officer is to uphold justice, but Mu Liufeng believes that if it can make people get lost, it can be regarded as a disguised form of justice.

But Xiao Er's obsession finally angered Mu Liufeng: "Okay, I will present evidence that convinces you quickly. Let me ask you, is the tea on the table the cup you sent?"

Xiao Er nodded: "Yes."

Mu Liufeng continued to ask: "Let me ask you again, did you get punched as soon as you entered the door and fainted?"

Xiao Er nodded again: "That's right, so there's no way I stole the sachet."

As if hearing the biggest joke in the world, Mu Liufeng laughed loudly: "You said that you fainted as soon as you entered the door, so may I ask, how did that cup of tea arrive on the table safely?"

"This..." Xiao Er was momentarily at a loss for words.

He didn't expect that the plan he thought was perfect had such a big loophole.

Mu Liu was unreasonable and unforgiving, and continued to yell: "Let me tell you, it is impossible for you to put the teacup on the table after fainting, so it is a big lie to faint as soon as you enter the door!"

"If you didn't steal anything, you don't have to lie at all. Hurry up and hand over the sachet!"

The shopkeeper suddenly yelled at Xiao Er: "You obsessed thing, don't hurry up and return the sachet to the customer. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful, I will take your skin off."

Xiao Er looked at the shopkeeper in fear, and tremblingly took the sachet out of his sleeve and handed it to Mu Liufeng.

Mu Liufeng took the sachet, smelled it, and then returned it to the woman in white: "Girl, please see if this is the sachet you lost."

The woman in white happily took the sachet, brought it to her lips and kissed it hard, then said to Mu Liufeng with a smile: "This is the sachet I lost, thank you for helping me find it."

Mu Liufeng waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, you can thank me later when I find out the real culprit behind Xiao Er."

Looking at the expressions of the shopkeeper and Xiaoer, Mu Liufeng knew that Xiaoer was just a tool driven by others, not the real murderer behind the scenes.

More importantly, the system did not send out any reminder that he had completed the task. Mu Liufeng was even more certain that Xiao Er was under the instigation of someone else.

Although Mu Liufeng already knew that the behind-the-scenes instigation was the shopkeeper, but he had no evidence.

If you want to be convicted of the shopkeeper, you have to start from the second child.

Mu Liufeng suddenly turned around and shouted: "Bold young man, stealing is a serious crime that will lead to imprisonment. Why don't you hurry up and call out the person who ordered you?"

Xiaoer was startled when he heard the words, looked at the shopkeeper fearfully, and said: "Master, I stole this girl's sachet on a whim, and no one instructed me."

"Really?" Mu Liufeng sneered again and again: "Looking at your clumsy appearance, you are an honest and responsible person. If there is no one to instigate you, how would you have the guts to do theft?"

Xiao Er knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master, I did this. No one ordered me to do it. Hurry up and arrest me!"

Mu Liu Fengxin said, if I don't tell you the stakes, I'm afraid your kid's head won't "open up":
"Brother, if you are willing to recruit the person who ordered you, you will be an accessory. I will only ask the leader of the thief, so I can spare you the responsibility for your crime."

"If you insist on being stubborn, the torture tools in the yamen are not just decorations. You should think about it clearly."

Xiao Er trembled when he heard the word "instrument of torture", as if it recalled some old things.

I also saw the shopkeeper looking at me aggressively, obviously warning him not to talk nonsense.

Although Xiaoer is very afraid of the shopkeeper, the torture tools in the Yamen are even more terrifying than the shopkeeper.

After struggling for a while, Xiaoer gritted his teeth and said, "Master, the shopkeeper ordered me to steal the sachet, please forgive me."

The shopkeeper yelled angrily: "Don't you want to spout blood, when did I instruct you to steal something?"

The waiter hurriedly argued: "You ordered me to steal the sachet, and you said you would give me ten gold coins as a reward when the deed was accomplished."

Mu Liufeng interrupted the quarrel between the two, and said slowly: "Okay, no instructions, no wrongs, we have our own opinions when we get to the yamen."

When he heard the system prompt that 10 points of justice had been credited, Mu Liufeng hurriedly handed the two of them over to the policemen who came from behind, not wanting to bother with such a trivial matter.
