Chapter 39 You're a thief for nothing!(1/2)
"Hey, Captain, I am not a person who likes to read newspapers. But was there a more interesting story serialized on it some time ago? I learned about this newspaper because of that story." Song Dabao said with a smile.
"What story?" Chu Mufeng asked with his head raised.
"Well, the story of a thief using his starling to steal babies!"
After hearing this, Chu Mufeng was stunned.
Brother?
bird?
Stealing a baby?
Chu Mufeng felt that the thoughts that had been vague in his heart suddenly became clearer, and then he suddenly realized.
No wonder I thought the silver crowned cockatoo in the room was a little strange yesterday.
It is right to say that my intuition is right.
The key to the thoughts is the parrot!
"I looked through the recent newspaper yesterday, why didn't I see that story?" Chu Mufeng pointed to the newspaper in front of him and asked.
"Captain, that article was not published on the daily page of Fengwenjin, but was published as a supplement to Fengwenjin. If there weren't, it would have been taken away by someone."
"The news that the newspaper "Political Affairs" is so popular, and the supplement will make a great contribution. There will be various suspense and interesting stories on it." Song Dabao told the situation he knew.
"Do you still remember that story?" Chu Mufeng asked.
"Remember!" Song Dabao nodded repeatedly.
"Simply put!"
Song Dabao told it briefly, but in the story, the thief's target was a diamond, which was stolen by the parrot god without knowing it.
So that's it, all the clues are connected.
Chu Mufeng also shook his head secretly: Is this story relieved people or instigating people to commit crimes?
To be honest, although he liked watching some cases revealed programs in his previous life, he thought it would be better not to make such programs public.
Because many of the details introduced in it are very professional, the audience is very interested in it. On the contrary, it is easy for criminals to know how to avoid mistakes and avoid leaving clues.
The easiest thing is to know that you should wear gloves and masks for committing crimes to avoid leaving fingerprints and your appearance will be seen...
Dingling.
At this moment, the phone rang on the desk. After Chu Mufeng answered, Huang Shuo's quite excited voice came from there.
"Captain, you guessed it right, there is indeed something here."
"Oh, what's wrong?" Chu Mufeng asked.
"A guest who attended the dinner last night came over. He took the initiative to go up and buy the parrot while the servants of Helian Mansion were walking their birds!" Huang Shuo reported the situation truthfully.
"Have you been staring at me?" Chu Mufeng's mind moved slightly.
"Stay on it! But Captain, strangely, besides my side, several other brothers also found that there were guests who attended the dinner last night and bought the parrots from the Helian family."
"Captain, why do this Helian family have so many parrots?" Huang Shuo said in confusion.
The truth of this case seems to have been revealed here.
Chu Mufeng said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go there now. You can watch the Helian family members. If they come out, just control them and don't let them run away!"
"Yes, captain!" Huang Shuo did not question at all and obeyed the order.
"Old Song, let's go!"
Picking up the police cap on the table, Chu Mufeng walked out with great strides.
Song Dabao also quickly followed.
...
Jinyu Hutong, Yandang Street.
Niu Youde, who had arrived here early, stared at Mrs. Helian's mansion with bloodshot eyes wide open and expectantly.
He was one of the guests who came to attend the dinner last night. He was a fur business. He was worth a lot, but he was definitely not a big fortune.
Thinking of what he did impulsively last night, he was still a little scared.
Fortunately, I was smart enough to feed the gem to the birds according to the method mentioned in the newspaper, otherwise I would definitely be searched.
However, if this matter is accomplished, it depends on whether the other party cooperates or not.
Soon, an old man appeared in a bird cage and walked forward along Yandang Street with a swaying sway.
After seeing him appear, Niu Youde's eyes lit up. He immediately rushed forward and reached out to stop the old man.
"Yo, brother, your bird is very handsome!"
While speaking, Niu Youde took out a cigarette and handed it over to a large front door.
The fat old man raised his eyelids and found that he didn't know him, but he was so polite to hand cigarettes, so there was no need for him to behave himself.
"That's of course. Do you know what this bird is called? It's called Silver Crown, but it's the best among parrots."
"But I don't know what happened. This little thing is quite lively on weekdays, but it's been wilted today. I quickly asked for a walk so that my wife wouldn't be upset when she sees her." The fat old man lit a cigarette and took a breath.
"Yeah?"
Of course Niu Youde knew the reason in his heart, so he naturally would not explain it.
"Hey, our old man also likes this kind of silver parrot, but he has never seen it on the market. So, it's better to have a chance to hit it. Brother, why don't you think so? Sell me this parrot and let me take it back to fulfill my filial piety!"
"You just treat it as doing me a favor, will you do it?" Niu Youde bowed and said.
"Help you? No, no, this bird is not mine. If we sell it to you, how can I get the job done when I go back? If you want to buy it, tell us!" The fat old man shook his head like a sieve.
Niu Youde smiled slightly, then patted the fat old man on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I am a straightforward person, don't be surprised. Let's open the skylight and speak loudly, and just tell me how much wages can you earn in a month with your wife?"
"Is wages?"
The fat old man leaned his finger and said, "I can get eight dollars in salary a month, deduct one dollar of food and accommodation, and there are seven dollars left!
"Seven dollars?"
With a sneer, Niu Youde raised a finger and said with a sensation: "Look, you only earn seven yuan in a month when you work hard? Now as long as you are willing to sell this parrot to me, I will give you 1,500 yuan!"
"How is it? You always take this money and fly away. With this money, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life. At that time, you are still afraid that your master will cause trouble for you? Even if you look for it, he will have to find you."
"This..." The fat old man swallowed, as if he was a little moved.
After seeing him like this, Niu Youde continued to strike while the iron was hot and said, "Look, I want this parrot for the sake of filial piety. After passing this village, there will be no store!"
"The money you give to your brother is worth the 20 years of hard work, what a good deal!"
"Okay, then I'll sell it to you, but I'll see the money now!" said the fat old man gritting his teeth.
"No problem, this is 1,500 yuan. You can do it, and you can do it for a lot of it!"
Niu Youde, who was prepared, picked out the prepared money from his pocket, for fear that the fat old man would regret it, so he stuffed it directly into his hands.
When the fat old man finished placing the order, he quickly snatched the bird cage and turned around and left, and waved his hand as he walked: "Brother, you can leave too, so as to save your master from going back and causing trouble for you!"
“Yes!”
The fat old man held the money tightly, turned around and left.
"Haha, I'm making a lot of money now!"
The excited Niu Youde was carrying the bird cage and just turned a corner. The excited smile on his face did not have time to fade away. Suddenly, several figures appeared in front of him.
The leader was Chu Mufeng, the captain of the criminal investigation team who was responsible for investigating the theft last night.
"You...what are you doing?" Niu Youde's face turned slightly pale, and he subconsciously placed the bird cage behind him and asked in a panic.
"Captain, I know him. His name is Niu Youde. He was also one of the guests who attended the dinner yesterday. He is a fur business."
Huang Shuo then greeted, "Boss Niu, you just left last night, why are you here again today? Come here just now, why are you wearing a hat and glasses? Are you afraid that people will recognize you?"
The other people didn't seem to be so sneaky, and this guy was also in a sarcastic mood!
After scanning the other party, Chu Mufeng said lightly: "Boss Niu, we are here to handle the case. You are also clear about the case you handle. I hope you can cooperate."
"What am I going to cooperate with? I don't know what you are talking about. I'm going back now. Don't block the way!" Niu Youde's tone was a little trembling, and he was about to turn around and leave with a stern look on his face.
"Boss Niu, I don't know what you did? Do you think you took advantage?" Chu Mufeng's tone was a bit playful.
"What do you mean?" Niu Youde stopped for a moment, looking a little surprised.
"I mean it is very simple. Last night, you fed the so-called emerald to this parrot, right?" Chu Mufeng raised his hand and pointed at the parrot and said lightly.
"How did you know!"
When the other party told the truth, Niu Youde suddenly became confused and spoke without saying a word.
"Haha, how do I know?"
Chu Mufeng said slowly: "Not only do I know this, I also know that you are a thief!"
"You just gave the money to Mrs. Helian's servant? Why are you 100% sure that this parrot is the one yesterday? How can you be sure that what you feed is the real gem?"
