Chapter 22: Clues to the thief, Li Yuan's evil plan
Yun Fugui left holding the sandalwood box with his big belly.
He felt so uncomfortable that he felt as if he was going to die at any moment.
In the room, Zhao Wanjun was rummaging through various items, hoping to find some clues about the thief.
Li Yuan sat bored on a rosewood chair:
"This fat guy is so greasy that even the chair smells a bit greasy."
He felt disgusted, thinking that life as an immortal was so difficult.
If he stayed in this room for a while longer, Li Yuan felt that he might really vomit out some immortality juice.
But Zhao Wanjun was looking for clues very seriously.
"Do you think there is a possibility that the thief is a habitual offender and knows how to erase all traces?"
Li Yuan could hardly stand the remaining smell of grease.
Zhao Wanjun searched the entire room and carefully put all the items back in their place.
She turned around and looked at Li Yuan: "Indeed, the room is quite clean, without any trace left."
"Why don't you try using the special abilities you mentioned?" Zhao Wanjun reminded.
Li Yuan covered his nose: "Wait, I'm a little..."
Zhao Wanjun was puzzled.
"I......"
"Ugh~"
Li Yuan retched a few times and fled from the room.
Before Yun Fugui left, the room was filled with a mainly greasy smell.
Who knew that after he left, the smell in the room would ferment rapidly, and the smell of oil would rush straight to my head.
Only after he walked ten meters away from the room did Li Yuan feel better.
The smell couldn't hurt his body, but it could ravage his soul!
This is extremely psychologically uncomfortable.
"I suddenly admire that thief a little bit."
Li Yuan sighed.
What kind of person can tolerate such a horrible smell of grease!
Behind him, Zhao Wanjun followed out.
Her face was flushed red, obviously she had been holding her breath for a long time.
"Li Xiaoyao, it's your turn to perform!" said Zhao Wanjun.
She really wanted to see the abilities of people from outside the world.
Li Yuan paused for a while, "Let me open your eyes!"
Zhao Wanjun's eyes showed anticipation.
Li Yuan closed his eyes and said in less than three seconds: "Okay."
Zhao Wanjun: ???
Li Yuan looked confident.
"So fast?" Zhao Wanjun was suspicious.
"Of course! Do you think we should set up a formation and chant a spell?" Li Yuan said as a matter of course.
Zhao Wanjun coughed lightly: "That's not the case, I just think you are too fast..."
For some reason, Li Yuan felt insulted.
He scratched his head: "The thief did leave a little trace after all, on the top of the beam."
Zhao Wanjun's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Go and have a look, and you will know."
He cannot use his immortal power on mortals, but as an immortal, he still has powerful spiritual perception abilities.
Zhao Wanjun took a deep breath and walked back to the room.
After a while, her face turned purple and she ran out in a hurry.
"How?" Li Yuan asked.
There was no way he could enter that room again, not even if Jesus came!
Zhao Wanjun's chest was heaving violently, obviously smelling the oil in the fat man's room.
"We got some clues." She took a deep breath, with a hint of excitement on her beautiful face.
"The thief left half a footprint on the beam. Judging from the size and depth of the footprint, it is estimated that it was a thin man!"
"He was injured by my arrows at night. His legs and feet are injured. We only need to check for thin and injured men!"
Zhao Wanjun felt that this was a major breakthrough.
Block the city gate and check it day by day, and we will catch the thief eventually!
But Li Yuan couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Is this all the clues?"
"That fat guy lost 30 years of his life in vain... um, nothing."
Fortunately, Zhao Wanjun was thinking and didn't hear what Li Yuan was mumbling.
Li Yuan looked at Zhao Wanjun who was struggling to figure out how to be absolutely sure, and immediately said speechlessly:
"Your method is too stupid!"
Zhao Wanjun raised his head suddenly, somewhat dissatisfied: "What do you think?"
Li Yuan curled his lips and looked at the servant Lao Wang who was secretly listening at the side.
The two knew that this Yun'shit Mansion was indeed not a place for detailed discussions, so they left immediately and found a corner.
Li Yuan squatted in the corner of an alley and spat, "Doesn't that thief love gold?"
"You can secretly contact a few wealthy families and ask them to exchange their silver into gold first to lure the thief out!"
Zhao Wanjun stood aside and said disdainfully: "I thought it was a good idea!"
"That thief is very alert. We can arrange the gold, but as long as we send people to wait nearby, he will seem to have known the news in advance and will not show up at all!"
"If we don't send someone to guard it, the thief will be able to get away with it easily, and then all our efforts will be in vain!"
Li Yuan smiled evilly:
"Then you can put some colorless and odorless poison on the gold..."
"As long as the thief succeeds and touches the gold, won't that be the end of it?"
Zhao Wanjun was stunned: "This, this is a bit inappropriate..."
"Gold is poisoned. If it falls into the hands of others, it will harm them..."
Li Yuan clicked his tongue and said, "Why don't you get some poison with an antidote?"
"After the thief makes his move, you will inform the whole city that a batch of gold has been accidentally contaminated with poison powder recently. The government has an antidote..."
"Ask everyone who has recently come into contact with gold to come to the government office. They must come in person. We will distribute antidotes based on their individual poisoning conditions..."
"By then, the thief will come to the door on his own. Will you still need to guard the city gate?"
Zhao Wanjun's eyes lit up slightly.
Li Yuan was holding back a big one.
"Besides, isn't that thief a pervert?"
"You just prepare some special poison and apply it on those bellyband underwear..."
"It's possible that the gold was stolen, but this thief has a perverted personal hobby... hehe..."
"Two traps. If he falls into one of them, he will come to ask for the antidote unless he wants to die!"
There was an evil light flashing on Li Yuan's face.
Zhao Wanjun looked at Li Yuan in horror.
"Are you...are you a devil?"
Her youthful face was full of fear.
She didn't even dare to think about how miserable the thief would be if he fell into the trap!
Li Yuan was recalling some basic operations of the 21st century.
He thought of the outrageous actions of the villains in those online novels.
"what is this!"
"You can even have some people pretend to be tilers, build roofs, and coat the tiles on those people's roofs with volatile poison."
"Even if the thief approaches at night, the poison will evaporate in the air and he will be knocked unconscious!"
"This trick doesn't even worry about accidentally hurting others. All we have to do is tell these people not to go up to the rooftops!"
Zhao Wanjun swallowed quietly.
Is this guy a little poisonous person?
How come every plan involves poison?
What kind of outsider is this? She thinks he is a poisoner!
Zhao Wanjun felt a little contempt for Li Yuan.
Li Yuan noticed the subtle change in Zhao Wanjun's attitude.
"To deal with this kind of pervert, we have to use more perverted methods!"
"You want to use the stupid method and search for years."
"Or should we take advantage of the thief's weakness and solve the problem once and for all?"
"Using poison is the most labor-saving method."
"What's the point of deploying more people? If they could catch him, they would have done it long ago. The fact that they haven't been able to arrest him shows that there is some power behind the thief."
"And once you alert the enemy, all your efforts will be wasted, right?"
In fact, Li Yuan really wanted to say:
It's a pity that this is an ancient world, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome to just install a surveillance camera secretly.
Zhao Wanjun seemed to be thinking about something.
"But this is too vicious after all... I am worried about hurting other innocent people by mistake."
She was afraid that unrelated people would be implicated in this evil plot.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Who among the common people can touch gold? Many people don't even have a complete silver coin."
"Poison is tempered in gold."
"As long as you operate properly, there will be no innocent people poisoned."
Zhao Wanjun now understood everything completely.
"You mean, there are some high-ranking officials in the city who are secretly communicating with this thief, so the thief can always avoid our surveillance?"
"The poisoning is not only for catching the thief, but also for illuminating the person behind the scenes?"
Li Yuan smiled but said nothing.
Zhao Wanjun was silent for a moment, with intense anger blazing in his eyes:
"Just follow your plan!"
"The thief incident has disturbed the capital, a large amount of gold has been stolen, and countless women's underwear has been stolen, causing rumors to spread and my innocence has been damaged!"
"If there really are officials and thieves protecting us, I hope they will be tougher and not come to ask for the antidote!"
Although Zhao Wanjun is a woman, she is an extremely upright person.
She even persuaded her family to allow her daughter to serve as an official in the government.
He also walked all the way to the position of Si Ya, which was second only to the Cheng Ya in the capital among the yamen official positions.
It is conceivable how much determination and courage are hidden behind her beautiful appearance.
When Zhao Wanjun thought about the collusion between officials and thieves, which caused countless people to suffer losses and even the innocence of good girls was damaged, he was filled with anger!
