Chapter 352 The mysterious pickpocket
At present, Ye Tongxuan still trusts Ye Shouyuan, but after all, the Ye family has developed to this point, and there will still be some scum in the Ye family. Especially in a place with a lot of oil and water like Nanshanfang City.
Ye Shouyuan had a lot of things going on, so he might have missed something in this area.
Ye Tongxuan distributed his manpower around, not only checking the trading environment of the market, but also observing whether there were any abnormalities.
I wandered around like this for about half a day, and nothing serious happened.
Just when Ye Tongxuan and others were planning to gather their forces and go directly to Ye Shouyuan's residence, an unexpected situation happened.
"Senior Tongxuan, we just caught a pickpocket." A young monk came over and reported.
"Pickpocket?" Ye Tongxuan became interested. This person was very brave and dared to steal on the Ye family's territory. If he was caught by the Ye family law enforcement team, he would definitely be severely punished.
"Bring him here and let me take a look." Ye Tongxuan and others have arrived at a secluded alley. There are relatively few people coming and going here, and no one has noticed that many monks have gathered here.
Now Ye Tongxuan has not yet withdrawn his team, only Ye Tonghua and two Qi-refining monks are following him. Not long after, two monks came over with a thin young man in tow.
This young man seems to have some cultivation, although not very high, and only has the strength of about the fifth level of Qi Refining. He has a very strong figure and long fingers, but his right arm is drooped. It seems that the people in the Law Enforcement Hall have no subordinates.
Show mercy.
"What's going on?" Ye Tongxuan asked coldly. He was also very contemptuous of such monks. After all, the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining is not low, and it is completely possible to find a job to make a living.
of.
One of the monks who was escorted over immediately replied: "Reporting to senior, we were ordered to check the trading situation in this market, and we saw this person touching other people's storage bags at a trading stall.
Seeing this, we immediately went over to arrest him. Unexpectedly, the man was dishonest and resisted desperately. In desperation, we broke one of his arms, and the boy became honest."
"Have the stolen goods been returned to the owner?" Ye Tongxuan asked casually. In his opinion, this was just a minor incident and was harmless. According to the regulations, it could be handed over to Ye Shouyuan for disposal.
"The situation was quite complicated at that time. There was a certain amount of chaos in the crowd, and there was a lot of movement of people. After catching this kid, the owner did not show up." One of the monks said.
As soon as these words came out, Ye Tongxuan raised his eyebrows and became interested. Since the pickpocket had been caught, the owner should be eager to get his things back. Why can't he find them?
"Show me the stolen goods."
The monk immediately took off a storage bag from his body and handed it to Ye Tongxuan.
As soon as he came into contact with the storage bag, Ye Tongxuan was keenly aware that something was wrong. This storage bag was worth a lot of money. It was actually a first-class top-grade storage bag, and it actually had three layers inside and outside.
The prohibition seems to have something very important in it.
After feeling this, Ye Tongxuan became interested. A person who was able to have a storage bag stolen by a fifth-level Qi Refining monk actually had a first-class high-grade storage bag. No matter how you looked at it, it was a bit strange. It seemed like something was going on.
Let's interrogate this pickpocket carefully.
"Tell me the whole process of how you committed the crime." Ye Tongxuan stared at the thief in front of him with a majestic tone.
The man simply couldn't withstand the pressure of the foundation-building monks. His feet gave way and he was about to kneel on the ground. If it weren't for the two monks supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground now.
If Wang San knew that that person was so troublesome, even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to steal that person's things.
"Senior, please spare my life. I was obsessed with it for a while and became greedy. I would like to ask you, senior, to spare my life. I will never dare to do it again next time."
Wang San cried with runny nose and tears. It seems that he has been arrested a lot, and his acting skills are as good as he comes.
Ye Tongxuan looked indifferent, "Be honest and don't play tricks on me here."
Wang San felt a chill in his back, and his voice suddenly became softer. It seemed that the young man in front of him was also a shrewd master, and such little tricks could not be hidden from him.
"The kid was wandering around the market today and happened to see a person with a valuable storage bag, so he got greedy and followed the person all the way. Finally, he found an opportunity in front of a stall. I just made a purchase here.
So I was caught here by the seniors."
Wang San didn't dare to hide anything, so he immediately told the whole story like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Seeing this, he just made it up on the spur of the moment, not a long-planned plan, "What does that person look like?"
"That man is dressed gorgeously and seems to have some background, but his strength is not high, not much different from mine." Wang San said. At this time, his tone finally slowly softened.
"You are so brave. Your strength is similar to yours, but you actually dare to steal in front of others. I think you are toasting me instead of having to drink fine wine. It seems that I need to make you famous before you can tell the truth!"
Ye Tongxuan smiled coldly, this boy really lied without making a draft. The opponent's strength was similar to him, how could he not notice it.
After Ye Tongxuan spoke, the two monks next to him immediately tightened their strength. Wang San immediately let out a scream, his face turned pale, and dense beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
"Senior, senior, what I said is true, I dare not hide anything! I have learned a stealing technique, so monks of the same level cannot easily detect it."
Wang San gasped in pain, grinned, and managed to say a complete sentence.
It turns out that Wang San is not talented enough. He spent his thirties and forties wandering around, and finally reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. He makes a living by doing small jobs for others all day long. Wang San cannot endure hardship, but his strength is not.
Even though it was very high, he was not willing to do dangerous things like hunting monsters.
One night a few years ago, he accidentally picked up a book of exercises from a small vendor. Although it could not enhance his strength, it allowed him to steal quietly.
In addition, Wang San's slender fingers made him very good at practicing this technique. Over the past few decades, he rarely failed.
"Bring out the skills and let me take a look." Ye Tongxuan would not believe his words. After all, such a thief was so glib that it was hard to believe whether what he said was true or false.
"It's in the small storage bag." Wang San felt a little sad. His storage bag was all his family property. If he handed it over now, he would never return it.
A monk next to him immediately searched him and took the storage bag.
Ye Tongxuan took the storage bag and had no intention of asking Wang San to release it. He directly used his foundation-building consciousness. In just a moment, he broke the restriction and opened the storage bag.
