Chapter 111: The Theft Case

  When Tang Xiaosheng, Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang returned home together, they were shocked to find that the originally tidy house had become a mess: all the drawers of the tables in the house were pulled out, the doors of the wardrobes were opened, books and CDs on the bookshelves were scattered all over the floor, the sofa leaning against the wall had been moved to the center of the living room, various household items were thrown randomly into every corner...

  Seeing such a chaotic scene at home, the three of them were also stunned and bewildered. Soon, they realized that their house had been burglarized.

  Since his house had been stolen, it was natural to think of reporting to the police. However, Tang Xiaosheng suddenly thought that Detective Lin Shishi lived next door, and finding her directly would be much faster than calling the police. So, he came to the doorstep of Lin Shishi's house and knocked on the door.

  A moment later, Lin Shishi opened the door, and unexpectedly, her sister Lin Meimei was also in the room.

  After learning that Tang Xiaosheng's home was robbed, Lin Shishi decided to come over and take a look. Lin Meimei, on the other hand, was completely uninterested and stayed in Lin Shishi's house.

  Then Lin Shishi came to Tang Xiaosheng's home and began to investigate the scene of the case.

  Since the room is so messy, it's obvious that someone has been in. However, Tang Xiaosheng's home had a high-level anti-theft door installed at the entrance, and without a key, it would be almost impossible for an ordinary thief to enter.

  What's more important is that Lin Shishi found the property to check the surveillance video of the community, and it was discovered that no one appeared at Tang Xiaosheng's door tonight, and there were no signs of prying on the anti-theft door. This seems to suggest that the thief did not enter from the main gate.

  To sneak into Tang Xiaosheng's home, apart from entering through the front door, the only possibility is through the balcony. The door leading from the balcony to the living room was indeed open, but Tang Xiaosheng's home is on the 15th floor, and it can be imagined how difficult it would be for a thief to enter through the balcony. This possibility seems unlikely as well, and can also be ruled out.

  This makes the theft case a bit suspenseful. If the thief did not enter from the front door and it is unlikely that he sneaked in from the balcony, then how did he get into the house?

  Considering the complexity of the case, Lin Shishi had to report to Deputy Director Bao Zhiming of the Public Security Bureau immediately, hoping that the bureau's survey experts would come to support.

  Before the expert arrived, Lin Shishi found several suspicious footprints in the living room and on the balcony. After carefully identifying the footprints, she said: "From the footprints, the suspect should be a woman."

  "Female?" Tang Xiaosheng couldn't believe that Lin Shishi, young as she was, actually had a couple of tricks up her sleeve and could even determine the suspect's sex from just footprints.

  Lin Shishi slowed down and asked again: "Is there anything valuable lost at home?"

  "No." Tang Xiaosheng shook his head and said.

  After discovering that his home had been burglarized, he checked the household items with Xiaolongnv and Guo Xiang. There were still some valuable things at home, such as laptops, DV machines, mobile phones, etc. However, it was strange that although all the items in the house were messed up, nothing seemed to be missing, even the wallet on the bed in the bedroom was still there.

  "This is strange." Lin Shishi heard that nothing was lost at home, hesitated for a moment, and analyzed, "The thief broke in and stole, but didn't take away any valuables. Obviously, this female thief didn't break in to rob!"

  "She doesn't steal money, what does she steal?" Tang Xiaosheng's eyebrows furrowed. This theft case has too many inexplicable points, and he can't help but associate it with the recent series of headless corpses, secretly speculating: is this female thief who broke into the house the same person as the murderer in the headless corpse case?

  Just thinking about this made Tang Xiaosheng feel a chill run down his spine; after all, human life is at stake, and it's no laughing matter.

  About ten minutes later, the survey experts from the bureau finally arrived. After messing around in the room for nearly half an hour, they came to a conclusion: the case was more complicated and required further investigation and research.

  The survey expert left after a brief visit, with almost no groundbreaking discoveries. Lin Shishi also left and returned to her residence.

  After everyone left, Tang Xiaosheng, Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang were tidying up the house while discussing this burglary case.

  Just like Tang Xiao Sheng, Little Dragon Maiden also thought that the person who had infiltrated their home was a transmigrator. And this conclusion of hers wasn't based on pure speculation, but rather on substantial evidence.

  Little Dragon Girl analyzed the footprints left by the suspect in the house and found that some of them were made while using lightness skill. From the distance, direction, and depth of the footprints, Little Dragon Girl thought that the lightness skill used by this intruder was likely to be the same as the martial art from Peach Island. And judging from the direction of the footprints, he indeed entered the house through the balcony.

  After learning all this, Tang Xiaosheng was also a little surprised. Because as far as he knew, in the world of "The Return of the Condor Hero", the ancient tomb sect had always been known for its expertise in lightness kung fu, and could be considered the best in the world. Little Dragon Maiden's lightness kung fu skills were absolutely among the top, and few people could surpass her in lightness kung fu.

  But considering Little Dragon Girl's current lightness skill, it would be extremely difficult for her to sneak from the first floor to the 15th floor balcony, almost impossible. However, the intruder who broke into the house tonight actually entered through the balcony. Combining these two points, it seems that a conclusion can be drawn: this intruder's lightness skill is even better than Little Dragon Girl's!

  Who will it be?

  No matter who it is, they are probably not an easy person to deal with.

  "Looks like we'll have to be more careful from now on." Little Dragon Girl also sensed that the situation didn't seem optimistic.

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded. In his heart, he actually had a question, what was the purpose of this transgressor sneaking into his home? Nothing in the house was missing, it was clear that it wasn't for money, but the things at home were all messed up, which seemed to indicate that he was looking for something.

  The situation is really complicated.

  "Big brother, can I sleep in the same room with you guys tonight?" At this time, Guo Xiang said with a pouty face, her face full of worry.

  Since the discovery of the traverser, Guo Xiang was originally very happy in her heart, thinking that she could find her mother Huang Rong soon. As a result, things did not go as she wished, not only did she not find Huang Rong, but also encountered many shocking murder cases. Tonight, seeing that her home had been visited by thieves again, Guo Xiang's heart couldn't help but feel afraid. Thinking that tonight she would have to sleep alone in a room, her heart was filled with anxiety.

  Tang Xiaosheng wasn't hard to guess her mind, so he agreed: "Alright, tonight you'll sleep in the same room as Long Jie, and Big Brother will go sleep in your room."

  As it was getting late, the three of them tidied up the house and went back to their rooms to rest. Guo Xiang and Little Dragon Girl slept in one room, while Tang Xiao Sheng slept alone in another room.

  Xiaolongnv was originally going to sleep on the rope, but Guo Xiang was too scared in her heart and didn't dare to sleep alone, so Xiaolongnv accompanied her to sleep on the bed.

  It was past one in the morning, Tang Xiao Sheng turned off the bedroom light and lay down on the bed alone, but he couldn't sleep, his mind kept thinking about the identity of the intruder who had sneaked into the house tonight.

  Although the police have filed a case for investigation, Tang Xiaosheng does not hold any hope for them. Because the headless corpse case has occurred nearly three months ago, the police also set up a special task force to investigate, but so far, there has been no substantial progress in the case, and the police have almost no breakthrough discoveries.

  That cold-blooded killer seemed to kill as easily as taking something out of his pocket, one shot and one hit. At the scene of all the murders, except for a few footprints, there was no trace left behind.

  "Hmm..."

  Tang Xiaosheng lay on the bed and let out a long sigh, now every day's life may have unexpected accidents, the pressure that the body has to bear can be imagined, and it is unknown when it will end.

  Whoosh!

  Just as I was thinking about it, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly darted into the pitch-black room!

  The black shadow moved extremely fast, and Tang Xiaosheng didn't even have time to blink before the shadow flashed beside him!

  Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

  After the four dull thuds, Tang Xiaosheng suddenly felt that his "Tian Tu Hole", "Hua Gai Hole", "Lian Quan Hole" and "Shen Cang Hole" were all sealed at the same time.

  It wasn't until then that he realized the black shadow was a person, and one who was skilled in acupuncture!

  To be more accurate, it's someone who is proficient in the Nine Yin Scripture's acupoint technique!

  Tang Xiaosheng had once studied the martial arts of the "Nine Yin Scripture" with Little Dragon Maiden, although he hadn't mastered it all, but was already very familiar with the principles of acupointing.

  The person in front of him, the principle of the acupuncture technique he used was exactly the same as the acupuncture principle of the "Nine Yin Scripture", and Tang Xiaosheng felt that the other party must have studied the "Nine Yin Scripture".

  After being poked at four acupoints by the man in black, Tang Xiaosheng found that his mouth not only couldn't make a sound, but his whole body was also immobilized, clearly having been hit by the "mute hole" and "fixed hole".

  If the acupoints are not resolved, I'm afraid I can only be slaughtered by others. Tang Xiaosheng secretly activated the "Reversal Meridian Method" to prepare for a change of palace and position, so as to resolve the acupoints himself, and then seek help from Little Dragon Girl.

  Just then, the black figure suddenly flashed again and hit Tang Xiaosheng's "Xuanzhong acupoint" on his chest!

  Suddenly everything went black before his eyes, and Tang Xiaosheng fell into a faint...
