"Ahem..." Wenwu coughed softly a few times, and then continued as if nothing happened, "After reporting his name, the little cat monk hit the four of them."
"According to what the young thief said, the cat monk is quite good at jujitsu."
"With one strike, all four of them were knocked unconscious in just a moment."
"When they woke up, they found themselves tied up and thrown outside the gate of our farm."
Qingdeng's eyelids subconsciously sank slightly.
Cat Monk is good at jujitsu...
This piece of information has never been known to Ayoto... or rather to the Edo Executive Office before.
While Qingdeng was thinking to himself, Wenwu's narration continued:
"The young thief also revealed the location where they hid the money they had stolen previously."
"They buried all the money they had stolen under the roots of a big tree in a forest not far from our Fujisawa residence."
"The villain sent people to dig out overnight yesterday, and indeed found this batch of stolen goods."
"The villain has personally counted this batch of stolen goods, and they are completely consistent with the total amount stolen. There is nothing more and nothing less."
"Have you even recovered the stolen money...Where are the stolen goods?" Qingdeng asked.
"I'll have someone get it now!"
Wenwu called a subordinate and told him to get the stolen goods recovered yesterday.
After a while, Wenwu's subordinate was seen returning to Qingdeng with a large lacquer box in front of Wenwu.
When I opened the lacquer box, I saw that it was full of yellow and white things.
After briefly counting the money in the box and confirming that the money in the box exactly matched the amount of money involved in the case that he knew, Qingdeng asked Wenwu to take him to see the person who was very knowledgeable about current affairs, and told him everything he knew.
The rest of his companions were sold off by the young thief.
The man was held in a temporary cell in the Wenwu Yard.
After seeing this person, Qingdeng asked him several questions without any greetings.
Tell me the whole process of being grabbed by the cat monk in detail.
Have you seen what the cat monk looks like?
Describe the shape of Cat Monk.
Why did the Cat Monk come to catch you? Have you ever had any problems with the Cat Monk?
…
The reason why I asked this person to recount the whole process of being grabbed by the Cat Monk was purely to test whether the old man who asked the question had made any omissions or concealed information.
After Aoto gave the young thief his name of "Edo Kitabansho Town Kai Toshin Tachibana Aoto", he immediately sat down, showed a flattering smile, and respectfully answered Aoto's questions.
every question.
While answering the questions asked by Qingdeng, this person did not forget to repeat again and again: "Sir, I have told you everything I know, please be sure to alleviate my sin!"
.
The whole process of how they were captured by the cat thief was almost the same as what was reported by Wenwu.
According to the young thief, the cat monk was about 1.5 meters tall, dressed in black, with a black scarf on his face and a black turban on his head, with only one pair of eyes exposed.
The voice is quite neutral, neither male nor female.
He is extremely agile and can walk on the steeply sloping hotel roof with ease.
It is completely consistent with the information related to the cat monk currently held by the Edo Administrative Office...
When asked if they had ever had any issues with the cat monk, the young thief shook his head like a rattle.
He said: They had only heard of the name of the Cat Monk before, but had never seen the Cat Monk. He also couldn't figure out why the Cat Monk wanted to deal a vicious blow to them, even though they were all in the same group.
After asking the young thief some more questions, Qingdeng came out of the temporary cell with a dark look on his face.
Just after leaving the cell, Saito, who had been silently following Aoto like one of Aoto's Siamese twins, asked softly:
"So...our business trip this time was in vain?"
"...So be it." Qingden's lips twitched and he sighed heavily.
Qingdeng just feels that this business trip... is really lonely!
After trekking for three days, I arrived at Fujisawa, only to find that all the suspects had been arrested... Not only one of the suspects had confessed, but all the stolen goods had been recovered...
Well, to put it bluntly... Aomori can now return home and return to Edo.
There was no need for Ayoto to personally escort these four suspects back to Edo.
He only needed to say hello to the people at the Wenwuba and ask them to help send these suspects back to Edo.
When it comes to transporting people and goods, Wenwuchang, which specializes in providing "horse and horse" services for official servants, is very professional.
"But..." Qingdeng raised his hand and scratched the hair on the back of his head, and said softly, "It would be wrong to say that there was no gain at all... at least we got the latest information about the cat monk, and we can bring this information back
As far as Edo is concerned, it can be considered a small achievement."
Nekomono is a thief that has caused a lot of headaches for the Edo Prison Office recently. In order to catch him, the Prison Office has changed several top people in charge of arresting him.
It was probably the day before yesterday that Qingto received the latest information: the "Cat Monk Case" has been handed over to the top crime-solving expert of their Northern Division: Nishino of the "Dongcheng Group".
The "ace" of the Northern Police Station has been assigned to take full charge of the case - this shows how seriously the Edo Office attaches great importance to the "Cat Little Monk Case".
Mao Xiaoseng's Jiu-Jitsu level is very good. Four grown men were knocked down and knocked unconscious by him one by one.
The whereabouts of the cat monk are very suspicious. In the past, he was only active in Edo, but this time he came to Fujisawa Juku to perform chivalrous acts and helped the government catch a group of thieves...
Either of the above two pieces of information will be extremely important information for the practice that will help them catch Mao Xiaoseng in the future.
If Aoto could bring these two pieces of information back to Edo, it would indeed be a small feat.
"It's really strange..." Qingto folded his hands into Haori's sleeves, "How come that little cat monk... suddenly appeared in Fujisawa-juku, and suddenly helped catch the thief..."
The information he knew was too little, and he couldn't think of anything after thinking for a while, so Qingden simply didn't bother to think about it anymore.
Anyway, he is not responsible for the "Cat Monk Case", so these issues can be left to Nishino, who is currently in charge of the case, to worry about slowly.
Qingto returned to the court again, and after a brief discussion and instructions on the transportation of the suspects in the case, he led Saito and strode outside the court.
"...Are we going back to Edo now?" Saito asked.
Qingdeng shook his head: "It's already late now, and it will be dark in more than an hour."
"It will get dark in one hour - with such a small amount of time, no matter how hard you rush, you will never be able to get back to your last dormitory."
"I don't want to walk at night or spend the night in a place with no village or store."
"We can only wait until dawn tomorrow before setting off back to Edo."
After saying that, Qingden turned his head and smiled slightly at Saito behind him.
"Now... let's kill time slowly here at Fujisawa-yuku until tomorrow."
"Just think of it as a half-day holiday to reward yourself for the three days of hard work."
"Saito, is there anywhere you want to go?"
Saito shook his head: "There is no place I want to go."
After hearing the answer from Saito that did not surprise him, Aoto turned his eyes back to himself.
"As expected, it's still up to me to decide where to spend my time..."
Aoto crossed his hands and put his hands into Haori's sleeves, tilted his head slightly, and thought about whether he and Saito should go to Fujisawa Juku's place before dark.
Suddenly, Aonto remembered the most famous tourist attraction in Fujisawa-juku...
Aoto's eyes slowly turned to the direction of Eshima Shrine.
"...Saito, are you interested in going to the shrine?"
