Chapter 1598 The modus operandi was so skillful; he was clearly a repeat offender.
Sun Shan personally interrogated the gang members, accompanied by Inspector Liang, County Magistrate Wang, and Registrar Wu.
Xia Dianli stepped forward and said, "Sir, we have arrested a total of 8 thieves and 15 suspicious persons. Constable Yang is currently interrogating the suspicious persons inside. After the investigation is completed, they will be released tomorrow."
Sun Shan nodded: "Well done. Examine carefully to prevent any from slipping through the net."
Xia Dianli repeatedly agreed.
Then the thief whose legs had been injured by Sun Dali was singled out.
Sun Shan was furious when he saw the thief, because it was because of him that Little Fatty was injured.
Later, when he heard that Sun Heitan had beaten him until his face was swollen, he finally felt a little relieved.
At that moment, seeing the man with the broken leg whose head was swollen like a pig's head, I couldn't help but secretly admire him.
Go back and tell Granny Wang to give Sun Heitan an extra chicken leg.
Xia Dianli then said, "Sir, these purses and jewelry were found on eight thieves."
Sun Shan squinted at the presented valuables, which numbered over thirty.
Damn! These clippers are really good at cutting money; they managed to cut off so many wallets.
The modus operandi was so skillful; it was clear he was a repeat offender.
Just as Sun Shan was about to speak, Magistrate Wang suddenly stepped forward, grabbed a silk pouch from among the many pouches, and pulled out a scholar-style pouch embroidered with green bamboo.
With wide eyes, she asked in surprise, "This...this is my purse, how did it get here?"
Sun Shan curiously peered forward and took a look at the purse that Magistrate Wang was holding.
Oh dear, it really is the Wang family's purse.
Don't ask Sun Shan how he knew, because Magistrate Wang also had the same kind of purse.
A corrupt official, who usually enjoyed exploiting the people, actually tried to act like a gentleman and embroidered rows of bamboo on his purse.
It parrots Su Dongpo's words, constantly repeating, "I'd rather eat no meat than live without bamboo. Without meat, one becomes thin; without bamboo, one becomes vulgar."
It seems that liking bamboo can reflect the noble character of a gentleman.
Since Magistrate Wang was so pretentious about loving bamboo, his grandson was not to be outdone and followed suit.
Magistrate Wang, enraged, grabbed the thief by the collar and demanded sternly, "Speak! Why is my purse on you? When did you steal it? You audacious thief, daring to steal from an official's residence! Heh heh, now you're in my hands! Heh heh..."
In an instant, he transformed into an evil, corrupt official, glaring menacingly at the thief.
The man with the broken leg: .....
Was he a murderer or arsonist in his past life, or some other heinous crime? How come such a wealthy person like him ended up stealing from the government offices tonight?
The gestures are just awful!
If Heaven wants me to die, then I have no choice but to die!
Magistrate Wang, still holding the thief by the collar, demanded, "Speak quickly! When did you steal my purse? And what did you steal? Serve me honestly!"
County Magistrate Wang tried hard to recall where he had been that evening and what he had done.
After racking my brains, all I can think of are Sun Shan, Little Fatty, and Fat Rabbit Lantern. I really can't think of anything else.
I have absolutely no recollection of when my grandson's purse was stolen!
Damn it! If we really encounter the legendary assassin Sun Shan mentioned, wouldn't we be dead for sure?
He then shook his head violently: How could a good official like himself, who was honest, approachable, and selfless, be assassinated?
Emma, it seems she's gotten too close to Sun Shan and caught his neuroticism.
The thief with the broken leg trembled and shook his head repeatedly, unable to utter a single word.
He was afraid that if he spoke out, he would be punched to death by the ruthless Magistrate Wang!
Sun Shan ordered his men to pull Wang, the county magistrate, away.
He stared coldly at the thief with the broken leg and asked coldly, "Confess to the crime in detail! Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"
Upon hearing this, the man with the broken leg stealthily looked up and met Sun Shan's triangular eyes, which slanted upwards like those of a venomous snake.
"Ahhhh!" With a scream, she collapsed to the ground.
His face was deathly pale, he was urinating uncontrollably, and a faint, foul odor emanated from him.
Sun Shan & a group of officials: ......
Why are you so scared? Didn't you ever imagine this day would come when you became a thief? Wasn't this something you expected?
With such a cowardly attitude, what are you doing venturing into society?
If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet; getting arrested is only a matter of time.
Sun Shan took a few steps back in disgust. The thief with the broken leg was really disgusting and shameful.
Xia, the clerk, shouted, "Speak quickly! How did you commit the crime? How much property did you steal in total? Where are you hiding? Tell us everything! Don't refuse to listen to reason and then suffer the consequences!"
The thief with the broken leg was already in a miserable state after Sun Dali broke his leg, but he was also dragged around by the officials like a dead dog, which was extremely physically torturous.
Meeting Sun Shan's wicked gaze only added to his exhaustion and mental fatigue.
At this moment, all the officials in the yamen were gathered together for interrogation; they had never seen such a grand spectacle before.
The thief with the broken leg suddenly burst into tears, crying, "Sir, spare me! I know I was wrong, I'll never steal again! Sir, spare me, please let me go..."
That crying and wailing look was so familiar.
The onlookers' lips twitched. The thief's cries were just like the little fat girl's cries—both were equally irritating.
The sonic attack was so intense that it seemed to want to slap the thief to death on the ground.
Inspector Liang was the first to lose his temper. He stepped forward and slapped the thief twice, saying fiercely, "Cry, cry again, and I'll beat you to death!"
Sun Shan.......
Inspector Liang is so ruthless; those two slaps he just gave were really powerful.
Other officials: ......
Inspector Liang's office was not in the yamen, so he had never heard Little Fatty's ultrasonic attacks before and had a low tolerance for such cries, making him the first to be unable to bear it.
Oh my! If only Inspector Liang could slap Lord Sun's fat daughter twice!
The little girl is chubby and cute, but when she cries, I really want to slap her to death.
The thief with the broken leg was slapped twice more, and his face, which was already swollen like a pig's head, now looked even more like one.
Trembling and shivering, the little body lay flat on the ground, no longer daring to utter a sound.
Sun Shan asked in a low voice, "Who are you, and how did you commit the theft? Tell me clearly!"
The thief with the broken leg dared not raise his head, and spoke in a muffled, intermittent voice.
It turns out that this group of people came from Duanlongshan Town. They were usually idle and prone to petty theft.
With the Lantern Festival approaching, seeing it as the perfect opportunity to steal, they agreed to go to the city together to steal.
Once in the city, he engaged in some petty theft, stealing several purses to eat, drink, and sleep.
Thinking that the Lantern Festival would be even more lively, he asked his accomplices to buy materials on the spot to make a big, fat carp lantern.
When the Lantern Festival arrived, the two large, fat carp lanterns attracted many people.
Two people were responsible for dancing with the fish lanterns, two people were responsible for creating chaos in front, and four people were distributed among the crowd to cut the purses when the opportunity arose.
The eight people worked together seamlessly, with each person having their own tasks.
She danced with lanterns for half an hour, then wandered to the next alleyway. She lingered, dancing with fish lanterns, lingering, cutting purses.
In one night, he cut up more than thirty purses and stole some women's jewelry.
The chubby girl's arrival was part of the last wave; the haircutting gang planned to finish this job, call it a day, and go home to divide the spoils.
It was fate that the cut happened to the chubby girl, and that she was caught in Sun Shan's clutches.
