The Dragon from Hell

"Oh, you dare to be stubborn with me!" Chen Si widened his eyes and raised his hand. Just as he was about to slap him, Xu, the shopkeeper next to him, spoke up.

"Chen Si, this is just a child. If you want to find your purse, just search him directly. There is no need."

Chen Si looked up at Xu and snorted: "Haha, I didn't expect Xu to be so kind."

Xu, the shopkeeper, is also a middle-aged man. He looks serious and just looks at Chen Si calmly in the face of his weirdness.

The two of them were deadlocked for a while, and Chen Si put down his hand and didn't slap him.

"Damn, isn't he just a dog of Boss Song? A lousy shopkeeper dares to bark at me. I'll take care of you sooner or later!" Chen Si muttered, pushing the child in front of him: "You said you didn't steal the money, right? Wait until I find the purse from you, then you can wait to go back with me to see the official. I can't guarantee that you, a little kid, can stay in the cell for a few days!"

As he spoke, Chen Si had already started to search him.

The boy's face didn't look good, but he still gritted his teeth and let him search.

But in the end, the purse was not found, but two white flour buns were found from his arms.

One of the white flour buns had been bitten twice, and there were two teeth marks on it.

In addition to the two buns, there was actually a piece of braised beef and a handful of greasy vegetables, which looked like they were grabbed from someone's table and stuffed directly into his arms, causing the boy's thin chest to be greasy now.

Chen Si grabbed a hand full of oil, and now he was disgusted: "Damn, you still say you are not a beggar, you stole all these in the store!"

These meals were obviously not finished yet, and this kid took advantage of the bustle in the store to sneak under the table and steal them.

Before, people were coming and going, and no one noticed.

Seeing this, the boy turned his head away in shame, bit his lower lip, and still argued for himself: "I said I didn't take your purse, and I'm not a thief! These... I will return them all!"

"Haha, you took away the food that others didn't finish, and you dare to say you are not a thief?" Chen Si sneered disdainfully, then searched the boy again, and wiped the oil stains on his hands on him.

As for the things found from the boy, he threw them all on the ground and stepped on them twice.

The boy's eyes shrank, but he didn't have the opportunity to pick these things up now.

Everyone was sure that it was the boy who stole the purse. If he could come in to steal food, wouldn't the purse be more tempting?

But unexpectedly, after Chen Si searched the boy, he didn't find a penny on him!

Logically, the boy should have been cleared at this time, but Chen Si seemed to be unconvinced and angrily said, "Where did you throw my purse?"

The boy's eyes widened. Even though the adult in front of him was several heads taller than him, he still looked stubborn and argued in a childish voice, "I said I'm not a thief, nor a beggar, I won't steal your money. I didn't intend to steal money from the beginning, you have already searched it!"

"Haha, you said you didn't intend to steal money? Then you sneaked in just to steal this little food? I don't believe it!" Chen Si waved his hand, obviously not intending to let him go. The boy said, "I think you stole the money bag and were about to run away, but I found you in time and blocked you from running away. Now you just threw the money bag somewhere, pretending to be innocent and hiding, and then ran back to find it, right?"

Chen Si thought he was smart, and after some analysis, he asked his companions, "Tell me, besides this little beggar, who else would steal my money?"

"Haha, anyone who can eat at Yuelai Inn must have some money. I really don't suspect anyone else except this little beggar."

The companion crossed his arms, obviously thinking the same thing as Chen Si.

"That's right, this little beggar is not a good guy at first glance. He was sneaky and actually stole my braised beef!"

At this time, someone from the table who had been timid in front of Chen Si before stood up, with a face full of resentment, looking at the boy with eyes that seemed to want to kill him: "I said there was clearly a piece of braised beef in my bowl, how come I made a fist and looked down and it was gone, it turned out that you took it away!"

"Just wait for me and see how I will deal with you later!"

Although he was timid when facing Chen Si before, now for his own braised beef, his eyes seemed to be able to kill people, and his whole body was full of hostility.

In this era, beef itself is precious. The people at their table don't look like rich people, and they have to calculate how many pieces of beef each person can get.

NowKnowing that a piece of his beef was stolen, the man who was talking was naturally angry.

But Chen Si turned around and glared at him: "My wallet has not been found yet, who cares about your piece of beef, is it your turn to speak?"

After being glared at by Chen Si, the man became timid again, hurriedly smiled and sat down obediently.

Chen Si turned around and slapped the boy's face roughly with his hand: "Boy, I tell you it's not too late to take it out now. If you go back to the yamen with us, you won't be able to bear the punishment in the yamen."

He looked up at Shopkeeper Xu and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, this boy is suspected of stealing money now. I will take him back to the yamen for interrogation. You won't take care of this, right?"

Shopkeeper Xu glanced at his smiling face and said expressionlessly: "As long as you don't make trouble in my shop, you can take him away or do whatever you want."

Hearing this, Chen Si bared his teeth: "Okay."

As he said, he reached out to pull the boy: "Okay, since you don't want to say it here, let's go back to the yamen and talk slowly!"

He didn't treat the boy in front of him as a child at all, and dragged him away.

The boy twisted his body stubbornly, but he was no match for an adult man, not to mention that the other party was a constable.

But just as he was about to leave, the boy suddenly set his sights on a couple in the corner.

The couple was the guests that Chen Si had not found before. He was about to go to them, but he changed direction because he was discovered.

At this time, the boy turned his eyes and saw that the woman's chest was bulging with an abnormal bulge.

Seeing his gaze, the woman unnaturally leaned towards the man next to her.

The boy suddenly widened his eyes and grabbed Chen Si's arm: "I know who stole your money!"

He pointed at the woman: "It's her!"
