"What's going on?" Lao Yu asked.

Chen Xi pointed to Lao Xu's shop and said: "The press hall in his shop has been stolen. We have just checked the security cameras and saw a scene that is unbelievable."

Lao Yu: "The pressure hall in his shop? that was the Lotus Life Hero Thang-ga of the early Qing Dynasty, Gama Geng Chi Painting Sect? "

Chen Xi nodded his head: "That's right, it's that Thang-ga, you and Silang follow me to the monitoring room to take a look, I'm not too clear about it either."

A few officers reported the situation to the Deputy Chief Officer, after hearing which, the Deputy Chief Officer's face immediately became ugly, and came to the control room together with Yu Jingyan and the rest.

Chen Xi asked his men to bring out the monitoring video from last night, and everyone gathered in front of the computer screen to check on the situation of the Thang-ga in Lao Xu's shop who was stolen.

After looking through the surveillance, Yu Jingyan and the others finally understood why Chen Xi had used the word "incredible" to describe the process of the Thang-ga getting stolen.

Last night at midnight, multiple cameras recorded a scene like this within the Antique City. A short "person" appeared at the Antique City entrance, looking like a four to five-year-old child, walking mechanically and stiffly, at the door, he used his hands to break the sturdy chain on the door, and then slowly walked into the Antique City. His head was large, his four limbs were short, although he was short, his stature was thick and big, his eyes were big and blank, his huge head was around a third of his body, and when walking, his knees did not bend much. Then, he stepped on the bench to take down the top grade Gama's Scarlet Painting Sect Thang-ga, rolled the Thang-ga up and left the Antique City together with it …

This fellow's body proportions, empty eyes, etc. all revealed a strange expression. His stiff method of movement caused one's scalp to go numb.

"This child is really ugly." said the deputy chief of police.

"This isn't a child, it looks more like a dwarf." Lao Yu said.

Lao Yu, Chen Xi and Silang looked at each other, the expressions of the three of them becoming solemn. The officer copied the video and went out to investigate the monitoring Barkhor Street.

Lao Yu lit up a cigarette, left the monitoring room with Chen Xi and, and came to Lao Xu's side, saying: "Don't you have a camera in your room too? Go take a look yourself, don't blame the wrongdoer. "

Lao Xu glared at Yu Jingyan and the others, he was still certain that Silang stole his Thang-ga, but with the police being so close, he could not cause any more trouble, so he could only return to his own shop and call for the monitoring system.

Taking advantage of this situation, Lao Yu brought Chen Xi and Silang back to his own shop and said in a low voice, "The guy that came to steal last night didn't seem to be alive."

Silang immediately asked: "Brother Yu, if it isn't a living being, then what is it?"

Lao Yu: "You guys must have also noticed, that guy's figure is out of order, his pair of big eyes are empty and lifeless, his movements are stiff and mechanical, but his strength is immense. From the surveillance video, I can't sense any signs of life from his body."

Chen Xi nodded his head: "It is indeed not a living being, could it be a walking corpse?"

"It's hard to say for now, but it looks like we've met a colleague. No matter if that fellow is a living being or a dead one, I believe that there's definitely a Warlock pulling their back, Lao Chen, could it be coming for us?"

Chen Xi: "What you mean is, the things that you stole from the Thang-ga are related to the person who framed you?"

Yu Jingyan: "Very likely, the two things that happened were very close. Even though the other party did not attack us, they coincidentally attacked our neighbors, maybe testing us."

Silang already knew from Yu Jingyan and Chen Xi that someone had used corpse oil to kill the two tourists and framed Yu Jingyan, so he took out his blade from his waist and said: "Brother Yu, if he is really coming towards us, I will kill him with one slash."

The three of them discussed for a while, but still could not figure out the background of the person who stole the Thang-ga.

Chen Xi asked the police about the situation. When Lao Yu and Silang arrived at Lao Xu's shop, he was sitting in front of his computer in a daze.

"Lao Yu, Brother Yu, what do you think is going on?" Lao Xu's tone finally softened as he for the first time ever called Yu Jingyan Brother Yu.

"You saw it too, right? The little thing that stole your Thang-ga was not my brother, right?" Lao Yu said.

Lao Xu immediately nodded his head, and said guiltily: "Brother Yu, I was wrong, it was my fault earlier. Who doesn't know that your Brother Yu has true skills, can you help me see what kind of thing stole my Thang-ga?"

Lao Xu was also in the antiques business, so he had some knowledge about the gods and ghosts. After looking through the surveillance screen, he immediately understood that the person who stole his things was not a normal human.

Even though the merchants looked down on him and thought that he was not a proper antique dealer, the matter of him helping others call their souls and drive ghosts had already spread far and wide.

"Xu Liang, you are not a bad person, and you are very particular about doing business. Although your mouth is a little harsh, your father has never remembered to bother with you. To tell you the truth, the short guy in the surveillance camera is not a living person! " Lao Yu said.

Boss Xu, his name was Xu Liang.

"Then, then what should we do?" Xu Liang's voice trembled a little as his face became deathly pale.

Don't be afraid, if he is here only for the Thang-ga, and now that the Thang-ga is in your possession, I believe he will not make things difficult for you anymore. But if his goal isn't only limited to the Thang-ga, then you will be in danger. Lao Yu said.

Xu Liang thought for a while, then said embarrassedly: "Brother Yu, I have always been a talker, if you want to say that I have offended people, then I spoke rudely to you and Brother Silang yesterday, I don't think I have offended anyone else."

Silang stared and immediately explained: "Don't misunderstand, it's not that I suspect you, but I have never offended anyone in this period of time. Brother Yu, you said that that thing isn't a living person, what is that thing?"

Lao Yu shook his head: "I can't confirm it yet, but don't scare yourself. He only stole your family's Thang-ga, I think, he won't make things difficult for you, I'll study it later."

With that, Lao Yu and Silang left Xu Liang's shop.

"Brother Yu, did you do it?" Silang suddenly said.

Lao Yu: "Just drop it, can I do that kind of thing?"

In the past few days, it was first Danzhou University where Zhuoga's statue was stolen, then Yu Jingyan's shop was robbed, and now that Boss Xu's hall was stolen, it was no different from adding hail to snow for Antique City, whose business was already poor.

Chen Xi came to Lao Yu's shop and said: "I just asked around, the policemen checked the surveillance outside. After the dwarf left the Antique City, he entered the alley in the old city from the Barkhor Street and then disappeared without a trace. It seems that his anti-reconnaissance consciousness is quite strong, Lao Yu, why don't you and I get to the bottom of this, what exactly is that thing?"

Lao Yu sighed, and said: "I'm really not sure."

"There doesn't seem to be that kind of thing among the enemies we've had dealings with before." Chen Xi said.

Silang unsheathed his blade, and said coldly: "Who cares what kind of thing he is, I'll use him as a sacrifice."

With that, the three of them went to check the broken lock on Xu Liang's shop as well as the chains outside the Antique City entrance.

Lao Yu held onto the two broken locks, and after carefully inspecting the places where they were broken, he said: "The cut is neat, the opponent's strength is great, it's a little tricky."

After Silang checked the lock, he clenched his fists and revealed an excited expression.

"Silang, are you preparing to fight to the death with someone?" Lao Yu asked.

"Fight with all our might? That thing might not be able to take my life, I just want to fight with him, and let him experience the power of my fastest blade of Kang District. " Silang said coldly.

Lao Yu frowned: "Young lad, do you know that you cannot easily create a flag? It's easy to get smacked in the face with a flag. "

Silang asked: "What is Fleg?"

Chen Xi: "What you mean is that you shouldn't be bragging."

"Tsk, I'm not boasting. Do you believe that I can directly engrave words on his face?" Silang said unwillingly.

"Silang, there is always someone stronger than you. Although your blade is fast, it might not be enough to deal with that dwarf." Lao Yu said seriously.

After that, Lao Yu asked Silang to help look at the shop while he went to the Barkhor Street Police Station to inquire about the situation.

"Lao Yu, we have already reported this to the city police. It is very obvious that this is not an ordinary case of theft. Tell me everything, what is in the cameras?" The deputy director said.

Lao Yu scratched his head, thinking that why did everyone ask him the same question, he had no idea what stole the Thang-ga.

"Officer, don't ask me. I really don't know. Since it has already been reported to the city police, I believe that with the technical means of the city police, there will be news soon." Yu Jingyan laughed.

In the next few days, the Antique City were peaceful, but the suspect who stole Xu Liang's Thang-ga did not have any leads. Xu Liang's attitude towards Lao Yu and the others had clearly changed, he would come over everyday to let them have their smoke, and passionately greet them.

"Actually, if you lost that Thang-ga, then so be it. It's good that you are fine, Brother Yu, I was in the wrong before, I do not know what to do, if you have offended me, please forgive me." Xu Liang came over again and said as he put down a bag of Chinese cigarettes for Lao Yu.

Lao Yu: "Don't be so polite, we're all neighbors, we should help each other."

Silang also stopped glaring at Xu Liang. On the contrary, he felt that Xu Liang was a little pitiful.

The millions of Thang-ga in the store had disappeared without a trace. Although the surveillance camera had captured the body parts of the suspect, they had not been able to determine his identity and location of hiding for a long time, to Xu Liang, it was probably just spending a lot of money to save them. However, Silang felt that this matter was related to Lao Yu.

After Xu Liang left, Silang could no longer hold it in and asked: "Brother Yu, did you still get nothing? Aren't you proficient in arcane skills? Can't you use arcane skills to figure out the identity of the suspect? "

Lao Yu shook his head and called Chen Xi. Chen Xi immediately went from a beauty's shop on the second floor to Lao Yu's shop.

"Look at this." Lao Yu took out his phone and showed Chen Xi and Silang his chat history.

The two of them took a look at their phones and discovered that Lao Yu had released a video of Xu Liang stealing Xu Liang's Thang-ga from a group chat entitled "National Warlock Chat Group". They also asked their friends: "Come and see what this is all about."

However, there weren't many active users in this group chat. After some teasing, a group of friends named "First Blood" spoke up. Puppet?

The time for the first drop of blood to reply was yesterday morning. More than twenty hours had already passed since then, and Lao Yu was currently @ him in the group, asking him how he put it.
