"Okay, Qingbai, tie them up."
"We're sure to run into lots of helpful people when we go out soon; let's make sure these two don't get away again."
As Zhuang Zhimeng spoke, she put the human skin mask and heart back and took out two bundles of hemp rope.
"Okay, I'll tie it up."
An Qingbai woke up one after the other after he finished tying up the two thieves.
"ah!"
"ah!"
With lightning speed, Zhuang Zhimeng stuffed the cloth that had been used to wipe the feet of the two girls into their mouths.
"Hmm..."
"Hmm..."
An Qingbai walked over and knocked each of them unconscious with a chop to the neck.
"All that whining and grumbling is really troublesome."
"Haha, Qingbai, do you think it's possible they're allergic to dog hair?"
An Qingbai glanced at the two thieves.
"Zhizhi, did you stuff the cloth that you used on Maoqiu and Maotuan into their mouths?"
"Hehe, yeah! Let's hurry up and hand them over to the police, lest they kick the bucket again."
"Heh, I really need to hurry up and go."
An Qingbai grabbed the two thieves and led them outside.
Upon reaching the bicycle, Zhuang Zhimeng immediately stored it in the warehouse.
The two locked the gate and dragged the thief forward.
The further you walk into the alley, the more people you'll find.
Someone blocked their way.
"What are you two doing here?"
Zhuang Zhimeng pointed to the two people.
"These two said they were planning to steal from the Forbidden City, and we overheard them. Do you think we can let them succeed?"
"Absolutely not! I'd be incredibly brave to go with you."
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai didn't object, so there's no reason to stop them from following you if they want to.
As a result, more and more people followed suit, and Zhuang Zhimeng no longer needed to explain; the person in front of her automatically provided the explanation.
When they arrived at the police station, they surprised the officers.
What do you want?
An Qingbai then removed the cloth from the mouths of the two thieves.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud at their sausage lips, then quickly coughed.
"Hey! We're all concerned citizens, I suggest you investigate these two people thoroughly."
They told us they were going to steal from the Forbidden City outside our gate, so we arrested them.
The police officer looked at everyone with a puzzled expression, then pointed to their mouths.
"Then what about their mouths?"
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled sheepishly.
"Hehe, wasn't it because we didn't have anything to cover their mouths at the time?"
I just grabbed the cloth I'd used to wipe the dog before; it's probably just an allergic reaction, nothing serious.
The police officers expressed their gratitude to An Qingbai and Zhuang Zhimeng.
"Thank you so much. I don't know how it got around recently, but people say that the floor tiles in the Forbidden City are valuable."
Many people are taking the risk of stealing floor tiles from the Forbidden City; we've already arrested several groups of people.
An Qingbai and Zhuang Zhimeng expressed their views repeatedly.
"This is what we should do."
“We are concerned citizens and will never tolerate this kind of behavior. We will arrest them again if we see it again next time.”
The crowd following behind them also shouted repeatedly.
"Yes, arrest them all if you encounter them again."
The police officers expressed their gratitude to everyone again.
"Thank you everyone for keeping an eye on things for us."
Everyone at the scene was suddenly filled with a surge of righteousness, wishing they could catch all the thieves.
The others left one after another, and Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai also prepared to leave.
Zhuang Zhimeng suddenly remembered the bag the two thieves had taken earlier and reminded the police officer.
"I don't think these two people are here to steal floor tiles; their bags are very heavy."
You'd better dig deeper into their background and origins; they might have ulterior motives!
The police officers immediately took it seriously.
"Okay, thank you. We will definitely interrogate these two people thoroughly."
Please leave me your address.
If these two people are criminals, I'll apply for the title of Outstanding Citizen for you and also apply for awards for you.
An Qingbai and Zhuang Zhimeng exchanged a glance, and Zhuang Zhimeng nodded.
An Qingbai took the pen and paper, wrote down Zhizhi's home address on the paper, and then handed it to the police officer.
The police officer took the note, glanced at it, and then put it away.
"Okay, you guys go back first!"
We need to interrogate these two people as soon as possible. Our police station will contact you once we have the results.
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai walked to the side after leaving the police station, as the address their master had given them was not far from the police station.
"Zhizhi, look around here, it's all government property. The address your teacher's wife gave us might have been used by the government."
Zhuang Zhimeng thought about it.
"Let's take a stroll over and check it out first, then we'll decide what to do."
"Okay, there's a state-run restaurant nearby. Let's go have lunch after we've looked around."
"OK!"
Zhuang Zhimeng and An Qingbai arrived at the address given by their master.
This is a courtyard of single-story houses, but it has now become a temporary office for the Red Armband volunteers.
They walked past without stopping, just like any other passerby.
Zhuang Zhimeng whispered to An Qingbai.
"Brother Qingbai, do you think it's possible that Master's adopted son took over this place?"
"It's very likely. He must have played a significant role in the way Master and Mistress were sent to the countryside back then!"
Maybe this house is his office now, and he deliberately chose this location.
"Let's make some good plans in the warehouse this afternoon."
I suspect that even if he took possession of the house, he wouldn't know about the treasure; his master certainly didn't tell him.
"Yeah, I also think he doesn't know."
Otherwise, he would definitely have found a way to come to our brigade and force Master and Mistress to tell him the location of the treasure.
