Chapter 105 Reconnaissance Squad

Upon hearing Wei Mo's words, the eyes of the Shan brothers, Zhenjiang and Zhenhai, lit up, and they nodded quickly.

"Join! Join! I want to join the reconnaissance team!"

"Brother Wei Mo, I want to join too! Let's both join, what do you say we do?"

Their eyes gleamed with excitement. Wei Mo thought for a moment, then spoke to them.

"You go to the other children's houses, and we'll gather all the children together and see if anyone has noticed anything. Then we'll bring them all into the group."

"I hereby announce that you two are now the first and second captains. I'm going to find Li Fu and Tian Boguang; they will also start their own squad."

"Those two are the third and fourth captains. Let's see who finds the clue first."

Upon hearing Wei Mo's words, the two nodded in agreement; children love to compare themselves to others.

"Okay, okay, then we'll go find them."

The two brothers were extremely excited and took off running to the side.

Wei Mo followed the same method, found Tian Boguang and Li Fu, and then asked all the children in the village about the situation.

Before long, more than 30 little kids had gathered, and they were all making a ruckus. Wei Mo said something.

"Stop it, everyone. Be quiet. Does anyone know what's going on? If you do, raise your hand."

If the children really knew what was going on, they immediately raised their hands.

"Brother Wei Mo, Brother Wei Mo, I know, I know."

Wei Mo's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to ask.

"What do you know? Tell me, there will be a reward for useful clues."

“I saw Liu Wang catching chickens a few days ago, I’ve seen it several times.”

Upon hearing this news, Wei Mo was somewhat excited, thinking it might be Liu Wang's doing. He then asked the other two children.

"I saw it too, I saw it too."

Even the children who hadn't raised their hands said the same thing. Wei Mo thought for a moment, then addressed the children.

"Great, everyone come with me to my house. If we catch the bad guys, I'll give you a reward."

The children's eyes lit up when they heard Wei Mo say there would be a reward.

"Okay, let's go, let's go to Wei Mo's house to play."

Basically all the children in the village are here, but Liu Wang didn't get along with the other children, so he wasn't here.

The captain was still chatting with the old man about other things when he saw Wei Mo leading a large group of kids back home, calling out to him.

"Uncle Dazhuang, Uncle Dazhuang, something's happened, come quick!"

Upon hearing the news, Li Dazhuang rushed over and saw four teams of children, including his own son.

After the captain walked over, he looked at Wei Mo in front of him and asked,

"Xiao Wei Mo, what's going on?"

Several children who had spoken earlier raised their hands and then said,

“I saw Liu Wang catching chickens a few days ago.”

"Me too, I saw it too,"

"Yes, I saw it too."

The captain frowned and looked at the old man beside him. The old man spoke directly.

"Go to Liu Ping's house later and check if it was them who did it. There will always be some evidence."

Li Dazhuang nodded and quickly ran out. Wei Mo looked at the group of kids playing happily, and one of the children who raised his hand said to Wei Mo,

"What about Brother Wei's reward? Brother Wei, is there one for me?"

Hearing so many children chattering away, Wei Mo felt a bit of a headache, and then said to the group of little brats...

"Yes, yes, yes, you all wait here."

After thinking about it, since I had already promised these kids, I decided to make something for them!

After thinking for a while, since it's already winter, I decided to make some spinning tops for them. After all, wooden spinning tops are relatively easy to make, and it only takes a few minutes to make one.

There was also a lot of wood, so Wei Mo went back into the house, took out his tools, and started working on a piece of wood.

Before long, one small spinning top after another appeared in Wei Mo's hands. Looking at so many children, Wei Mo sighed. He should have just bought them from the mall.

But the items in the mall are too good; let's make them this way.

The long line had more than 30 people. Even if Wei Mo could make one in two or three minutes, it would still take him more than an hour to make one.

It was a bit cold outside, so Wei Mo called out to them.

"You guys have a snowball fight in the yard first. I'll go inside and get ready and call you. I'll give each of you a spinning top in a bit."

Hearing that there would be a reward, all the children laughed very happily and then started to organize a snowball fight.

Seeing the older kids bullying the younger ones, Wei Mo spoke up.

"Make sure the sizes are even, and be careful not to hit them on the head."

Then he turned around and went back into the house.

Wei Mo was making spinning tops here, the children were having a snowball fight outside, and the brigade leader came to Liu Ping's house.

"Knock knock knock," a knocking sound rang out. In broad daylight, the door was locked from the inside out, making the captain increasingly suspicious.

Who is it?

The captain kept knocking on the door, and Li Ping inside could only shout out to the outside.

"It's me, Li Dazhuang. Open the door, I need to ask you something."

Hearing Li Dazhuang's voice outside the door, Liu Ping's heart skipped a beat. His son had brought home a lot of chickens these past few days; was he asking about this?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Ping realized that nothing seemed to have been overlooked, so he opened the door.

After Li Dazhuang entered the house, he inspected its condition. Liu Ping then asked...

"Captain, what's the matter?"

The captain scanned the area but found nothing, so he simply spoke up.

“A chicken went missing in the village, and everyone saw your Liu Wang catching it. I’ve come to check it out. Let me tell you, if it’s Liu Wang, then your Liu Wang should prepare to go to jail.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Ping felt a pang of anxiety, but then he realized that neither the team leader nor the others had any evidence, and the chicken was already inside him.

He buried even the bones and chicken feathers in the yard, leaving no trace whatsoever, and then said to the brigade leader,

"Captain, the kids have nothing to do, they just catch chicks and scare them a little, it's perfectly normal, how can you blame my Liu Wang?"

Seeing Liu Ping's expression, the captain seemed genuinely certain that Liu Wang hadn't done it, so he frowned and said to Liu Ping,

"May I take a look?"

Although Liu Ping felt guilty, he had already dealt with his own family's situation. If they wouldn't let him investigate, wouldn't that mean it really was his family?

Thinking of this, Liu Ping nodded.

"Captain, investigate all you want. It really isn't my Liu Wang. Could it be a weasel or a wildcat? We can't falsely accuse my child."

After obtaining Liu Wang's consent, the brigade leader searched Liu Ping's house, looking through the bowl rack, pots, and the entire house. He found nothing, and his brows furrowed even more.

Then Li Dazhuang said to Liu Ping,

"Then it might be a misunderstanding about your home. I'll go check other places."
