Chapter 27 The thief sings a double act
The man's eyes were scarlet, and he was trying hard to get the money back.
"A few dozen yuan can save the life of my whole family!" The man pounced on him, trying to catch him fiercely.
The thief wanted to run away, but he was already surrounded by people. Although the people were afraid, they all worked together to block the front with their things, preventing people from leaving.
"Damn it, I'm really unlucky." The thief spat, his hand already being grabbed tightly.
Seeing that he was about to be controlled, the thief became violent and slashed the man's arm with a knife, causing him to see red on the spot.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the kind-hearted people who wanted to step forward to help were frightened and took several steps back.
Xia Mi stepped back nervously and looked around. Huo Jingchen was not here.
Then where would he go?
"Ah——"
A scream brought Xia Mi back to her thoughts. She followed the sound and saw that Fu Ming had already rushed out bravely.
Before he knew it, he had already walked around behind the thief. Taking advantage of the thief's back, he rushed out of the crowd and hit the person's back with the warm water bottle he had just bought.
The thief screamed and staggered forward for half a step. Before he could react, he was kicked down by Fu Ming and pressed to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the people around him cheered and shouted that they would be sent to the police station to be detained.
"Give me my money, give me my money!" The man rushed over and reached into the thief's pocket.
Fu Ming looked at the man who had lost his mind and reminded loudly, "Comrade, no one will take your money. Don't get excited yet. You will affect me."
The man turned a deaf ear.
"It's not like your money was stolen. Of course you won't understand my feelings." As he said this, the man suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Fu Ming away, as if Fu Ming was getting in his way.
"You have no conscience. If someone catches a thief, you have to go up and cause trouble."
"You who suffered a thousand cuts, do you want to kill someone?"
"Comrade, you are so chilling. Everyone has been caught, and the money will not run away. Why are you in such a hurry?"
The people around him were so angry at this scene that they blamed the man and felt sorry for Fu Ming.
Xia Mi quickly went around to help Fu Ming.
The thief quickly got up and tried to escape.
He waved the bloody fruit knife and was bound to rush out of the crowd, "If you are not afraid of death, try blocking one!"
Seeing that people are about to run away.
Unexpectedly, the next second the person jumped straight forward and fell to the ground.
When he raised his head again, he saw that the thief had dropped one of his front teeth. His mouth was filled with the smell of rust, and he spat on the ground in a panic. The teeth were mixed with blood, and the whole mouth was covered with blood.
"Damn it, you idiot, don't you have eyes?"
The man lowered his eyes and looked down, his eyebrows were sharp and fierce, and the corner of his lips raised a sneer, which made the person's back feel as cold as falling into an ice cellar.
"You thieves have such a poor sense of teamwork? Five people come and you want to leave alone. Shouldn't the family be neat and tidy?"
Go to jail neatly.
Huo Jingchen grabbed the trembling person next to him and pushed him out.
It was said that he was pushed, but in fact the man was almost thrown out. He rolled around several times and reached the thief.
The man had small eyes and a sinister look. His hands had been tied with a rope, and his mouth had been sealed with tape by Huo Jingchen.
The thief who wanted to escape looked at his accomplice, his heart beating like a drum, "Mazi, what's the matter with you?!"
Mazi whined anxiously, extremely anxious.
"He told you and the other three people to run away. The person who arrested him has enthusiastically reported it to the police."
Huo Jingchen squatted down and acted as the interpreter.
The toothless thief almost stared down. He waved the knife and kept crawling back.
The sound of footsteps could be heard from each door of the department store. By the time people looked over, the police had already blocked the door.
Someone shouted, "Great, the police are here!"
Taking advantage of the distraction, Huo Jingchen took action quickly. His movements were clean and neat, and he easily took the knife away.
Afterwards, he looked at the bloody knife with disgust. "The two of them sing a double act, direct and perform themselves to attract everyone's attention, and let the other three make money. What can't you do with your brains? Come out to do this?"
Xia Mi helped Fu Ming walk through the crowd to find Huo Jingchen. She looked at the situation in front of her and her anxious heart finally calmed down.
"Fu Ming dislocated his arm and needs to go to the hospital."
Fu Ming endured the pain and asked Huo Jingchen, "Brother Huo, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"I will explain to you later." Huo Jingchen took the person from Xia Mi, "I will take you out."
Xia Mi followed closely behind him and walked out of the door under the envious and doubtful gazes of everyone.
For the sake of convenience, Huo Jingchen took the initiative to reveal his identity, and after some negotiations, he successfully took the people away.
Fortunately, Fu Ming's left arm was dislocated, which did not affect his writing and daily life.
Huo Jingchen and Xia Mi sent the person to the shoe factory's family home.
After leaving the shoe factory's courtyard, Xia Mi asked, "When did you catch this person? Why did you come from outside?"
"Fu Ming's watch is no cheaper than yours. Those people must know the goods. I just walked around and this guy couldn't help it anymore.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I didn't find your watch in his pocket, so I thought he had hidden it. After some education, I found out who he had given it to for safekeeping. The drama started when I came back. ”
"No wonder that man is so abnormal, Fu Ming is obviously helping him."
Xia Mi also became suspicious at that time, because he felt sorry for Fu Ming, who acted bravely and unknowingly became a member of the opera.
Deliberately create a tense and panic atmosphere, so that the people watching the show will be fully focused, and then let others do the stealing.
Xia Mi stretched out his hand in front of Huo Jingchen, "What about my watch?"
"I didn't find it. I have to go to the Public Security Bureau to get it back."
Huo Jingchen looked at her palm, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was that she was scared and wanted him to hold hands.
Xia Mi took back his hand and nodded in agreement.
After going to the Public Security Bureau, Xia Mi first signed the form and went through the formalities before receiving the watch. When she came out, Huo Jingchen was no longer in the hall.
Xia Mi stood in the hall confused and waited for a while before seeing Huo Jingchen appear.
There are two more people beside him. Judging from their uniforms and the attitudes of the people around them, they should be important figures in the Public Security Bureau.
Huo Jingchen said goodbye to the two of them and walked towards Xia Mi.
"Are you hungry? There is a hotel nearby that cooks good food. If we are hungry, we will go there and go back early in the afternoon."
When Xia Mi heard about taking a boat, he subconsciously resisted.
"When you say that, I am indeed a little hungry, but this is my first time here and I want to go back again. Don't you have two days of wedding leave? Let's go back later today."
Huo Jingchen saw through it but didn't point it out. Although he knew that she didn't want to take the boat, he curled his lips at the thought of having some alone time.
At 12:30, it was the time when most people were in the state-owned restaurant. When they went there, there was not much meat left, only expensive seafood.
The two ordered a plate of boiled shrimps, shredded green peppers and potatoes, and tomato and egg soup.
There were no tables left, so we had to share tables with others.
The shrimps are boiled and served first, followed by shredded potatoes and soup.
Xia Mi didn't eat much in the morning, but now that he smelled the aroma, his appetite was greatly increased. He picked up the shredded potatoes with chopsticks, lowered his head and started eating.
Huo Jingchen peeled the shrimp slowly.
The two men sitting across from each other looked at this scene, smiled and said nothing, and looked at each other as if they were mocking the Xia Mi mountain pig for not being able to eat fine chaff.
Instead of eating the shrimp, I'm going to eat the shredded potatoes.
Xia Mi ate half a bowl of rice before he noticed that only one-third of the shrimps were left on the plate. In the blink of an eye, he saw that Huo Jingchen's bowl had already piled up into a small mountain.
Pfft.
The man opposite couldn't hold it back any longer, and his brief burst of breath revealed his voyeuristic behavior.
Huo Jingchen raised his eyes, glanced at the two of them, picked up the tissue he had put next to him early in the morning to wipe his hands, and finally placed the bowl in front of him in front of Xia Mi.
"Eat more meat."
