Chapter 22: Surprise, Tu Mei-Chan's Trap!

Burglary is a very common form of crime.

But it is still difficult to complete it perfectly and without a trace when there are people in the house.

If Feng Bujue does this alone, the success rate should be very high. Even if Wang Tanzhi is included, it will not have much impact.

But the problem is... the real protagonist of this theft is not the two of them, but "Phantom Thief Bears_eye", that is, Xiong Ji...

Feng Bujue believes that the current main event is a good opportunity. He hopes that with his assistance, Xiong Ji can rely on his own efforts to complete a relatively difficult and technical crime and master certain escape skills. In this way, in the subsequent main line, Xiong Ji's suicide rate will be greatly reduced, and the difficulty of the entire script will be reduced.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, Brother Jue is still willing to take this risk.

"Hmm... Hmm..." After leading the two into the house, Feng Bujue gestured and hummed and muttered twice.

This time, Xiao Tan and Xiong Ji both understood that Brother Jue wanted them to turn on the flashlight.

The next second, they both picked up the flashlights that Jue Ge had prepared in advance, held the switch with one hand, and covered the front of the flashlight with the other hand to turn it on.

The switches of these two flashlights are silent, the aperture emitted from the front is very small, and the light is not too bright. Obviously, Feng Bujue had considered various situations that need to be paid attention to when buying them (in addition to the textbooks and stationery in the schoolbag, Mao Sanlang had some pocket money in his pocket. Since the system gave him currency, Feng Bujue naturally made the most of it).

"Hmm..." After the two turned on the flashlights and stabilized the aperture, Feng Bujue winked and signaled them to follow.

Unexpectedly, they had just walked less than two meters in the corridor. Then they heard...

Squeak---Eh--

The floor under their feet made two not-so-loud noises, but in this dark and quiet environment... it sounded particularly obvious.

At this moment, the three people stopped moving.

Xiao Tan and Xiong Ji were frightened by the sound. They froze in place and dared not move. Feng Bujue was also frightened and broke into a cold sweat, but... he did not feel panic. In Jue's opinion, this level of mistake was completely acceptable... Even if it alarmed Miao Mei or her parents, it didn't matter. As long as he was not caught on the spot, he could stop the action at any time.

"Hmm..." After listening attentively for nearly two minutes with bated breath. Feng Bujue was basically sure that the person (cat) upstairs did not respond to the sound just now.

So, he slowly turned his head, crawled on the ground, and winked at his two companions.

Xiao Tan quickly understood Jue's meaning, held the flashlight in his mouth, and lay on the ground. And Xiong Ji... Although he didn't understand the instructions, he saw Xiao Tan lying down, so he followed suit and bit the flashlight. Get on all fours.

Then, they lined up and climbed all the way to the second floor...

"Ah..." Feng Bujue, who was leading the way in front, sighed silently in his heart, "Think positively... At least I'm a cat."

"To teach a bear to steal things..." Xiao Tan, who was crawling in the middle, thought to himself. "To get to this point... is really hard work..."

To be fair, Brother Jue would be so "hard work"... It's really helpless.

The old wooden floor of Miao Mei's house is easy to squeak once it is under pressure. When Feng Bujue was moving alone before. This problem was not obvious, because his body was light, his limbs were on the ground, there were pads on the soles of his feet, and he moved quickly...

But after Xiong Ji and Xiao Tan came in, the three of them walked upright for a few steps together. The sound was "pressed" out.

Fortunately... this accident did not have any consequences.

…………

Five minutes later, the three finally reached the second floor.

It was the first time that Wang Tanzhi felt... that climbing stairs was such a tiring thing.

Under the leadership of Brother Jue, every step the three of them took had to be completed in a slow-motion pace, so as not to make any noise.

This might be easier for a cat, but it was not easy for Falcon and Bear.

"Hmm... Hmm..." After arriving at the corridor on the second floor, Feng Bujue turned around and gestured to the two, humming twice, asking them to rest for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Tan and Xiong Ji lay on the ground.

Of course, they all understood... resting is resting, but breathing heavily is not allowed; any behavior that makes obvious noises is not allowed, and farts must be held back.

Just like that... After another three minutes of rest, Xiao Tan and Xiong Ji finally recovered.

At this time, Feng Bujue raised his paw and gestured to them, signaling them to follow again.

In a short while, the three of them arrived at the door of the bathroom.

When there was no one in the bathroom, it would naturally not be locked, and there was naturally no one in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Therefore, Feng Bujue stretched out his claws and opened the door.

In the washroom outside the bathroom, there was a washing machine, and some washed, small clothes were hung high up.

That's right... I'm talking about underwear.

After the door was opened, three thieves filed in.

Because the floor of the washroom was paved with tiles, as long as you didn't stomp your feet, you wouldn't make much noise, so after the three of them entered, they stood up one after another.

"Hmm..." Immediately afterwards, Feng Bujue turned back to look at Xiong Ji, muttered twice, and pointed upward.

In fact, without his pointing, Xiong Ji's attention had already been attracted. He used his flashlight to shine on the small clothes and pants on the hanger above, and showed a lewd smile.

…………

Steal clothes, go out, retreat...

Their departure process was slower than when they infiltrated, because Feng Bujue understood that the concentration of most perpetrators of property embezzlement cases would decrease after completing the crime... During the process of evacuating the crime scene, Their attention has often been elsewhere.

For example, "How to distribute the spoils?", "Will my companions be cheated?", "How can I cheat my companions?", "Where should I go after taking this money?" or "Whoops?" "Huhuhuhu~" and other thoughts may appear in their minds.

Therefore, Brother Jue deliberately slowed down his evacuation and was more cautious when he settled down than when he came in.

A full ten minutes later, they returned to the front door...

As long as you open and step out of the door in front of you, the theft is basically a success.

Under Feng Bujue's guidance, Xiong Ji was not caught and no evidence was left behind. This provides good conditions for exoneration after the incident. Next... what Brother Jue has to do is follow Xiong Ji home and brainwash him overnight... He already has several plans in mind to correct Xiong Ji's "self-exposure" behavior. As long as tonight passes, all the main events behind this script will be out of the question...

However, just when they were just one step away from success, an incredible accident happened...

squeak--

The front door opened and three figures walked out quickly.

unexpectedly!

哐——哐——哐——

There were three sounds of heavy machinery turning on, bringing out three beams of light with a radius of more than one meter.

The night was torn apart by this sound and light.

"Ah...what?" Xiao Tan was blinded by the sudden bright light. Instinctively read, "Searchlight?"

After his eyes adjusted to the light a little, he looked forward and saw... In addition to the huge searchlights, there were also red, blue, and white lights flashing on the street. A visual inspection... there should be a few. Ten police cars were parked there.

[Please note that when Xiongji is arrested as the Kaitou bears_eye, the main plot will directly fail. 】

The moment the police appeared, this system prompt also rang in the ears of the two players.

"Is he [beep——] kidding me..." Feng Bujue looked at the situation in front of him. "Can't we say this before we act?"

"It's not good...Brother Jue..." Xiao Tan glanced around, "We seem to be trapped..."

Before he could finish his words, Officer Innosuke's voice came through the loudspeaker: "Kaitan thief bears_eye, we are the police! You and your accomplices have been surrounded by us! Give up unnecessary resistance. Raise your hands. ,walk out!"

"Go back to the house." As soon as the other party finished speaking, Feng Bujue said these two words.

His tone sounded more like a command than a suggestion, but Xiaotan and Xiong Ji didn't mind the context of this sentence. All they knew was that...at this moment, it would be better to do what Brother Jue said.

boom--

Two seconds later, the three of them retreated into the house like lightning. and closed the door.

"It's over, it's over..." Xiong Ji held his head in his hands, sweating profusely, and ran back and forth anxiously, "It's going to be a big deal this time... I wonder if he will be sent to a circus or something like that."

"It's good to go." Feng Bujue looked very leisurely, "With this look, you can start performing directly. They don't even need to prepare clothes for you."

"Teacher Cat Saburo!" Xiong Ji grabbed Brother Jue's shoulders excitedly, "Now that things have happened...how can you still joke with me so calmly!" He said, letting go of Brother Jue and taking two steps back. , "I can't be arrested!" He picked up the white hat on his head and exposed the underwear stuffed inside. "I finally got these precious treasures. If I lose them again, I will definitely suffer the consequences." He died without a mental blow!"

"Just die..." Feng Bujue ignored Xiong Ji's perverted remarks. He still went his own way and said in a calm tone, "I can turn your death into a legend... Well... That's it... ...Underwear, panties, socks, and everything a pervert gentleman could dream of, the words of the phantom thief bears_eye before his death made countless perverts flock to Hiyori City." While he was talking, he squatted down. After putting on his shoes again (he had previously tied the laces of the two shoes together and hung them around his neck), "'My treasure? If you want it, just go and get it... I put everything in What do you think of these last words?"

"This trick of yours..." Before Xiong Ji could answer, Xiao Tan complained first, "It reminds me of "The Legend of Basho"..."

"Teacher! You can't do this!" On the other side, Xiong Ji replied in panic, "Think of a solution quickly!"

"I'm thinking about it." As Feng Bujue spoke, he walked to the kitchen and pulled out a kitchen knife from the knife holder next to the chopping board.

"Uh... Brother Jue." Xiao Tan didn't care to change his name to Feng Bujue in front of Xiong Ji. He said directly, "Are you going to go out and fight with them with a kitchen knife?"

"The police have guns! Teacher!" Xiong Ji did not react to the name "Brother Jue". He just remained in a panic and reminded him.

"Even if they don't have guns, I can't go out and have a direct armed conflict with them." Feng Bujue responded expressionlessly and walked back from the kitchen. "No matter what... Mao Sanlang (here he refers to himself in the third person, meaning 'the role I play') is just an elementary school student. Even if I hold a knife and have a ruthlessness and combat experience far beyond people of this age..."

"Fighting experience aside, your ruthlessness is definitely beyond all ages and races..." Xiao Tan also interrupted at the right time.

"Ah, you're flattering me." Feng Bujue admitted calmly, and continued, "But... it's obviously very difficult for me to deal with an adult, and a trained police officer. Even in a one-on-one fight, I'm not sure of winning."

"Then you hold the knife to..." Xiao Tan was slightly startled, and his expression suddenly changed, "Hey... you don't want to..." He quickly glanced at Xiong Ji.

"What are you thinking..." Feng Bujue shrugged, "Although that is indeed a plan, it's not yet time to kill him."

"Huh?" Xiong Ji didn't understand their two sentences at all, so he asked in confusion, "What? Kill who?"

"Nothing." Feng Bujue quickly changed the subject. To prevent the other party from coming to their senses, "Actually... my intention of holding the kitchen knife is obvious..." He raised the knife and pointed at the stairs, "There are three hostages on the second floor... Oh no... cat hostages." He smiled, "They. And this house, are our bargaining chips in dealing with the police."

From the time they closed the door to the end of these conversations, it took less than two minutes in total (NPCs in the Hiyori world generally speak fast. Jue Ge's narration and Xiao Tan's complaints are also quite fast).

Just as Feng Bujue's "bargaining chips" was still lingering, another voice came from outside the house...

"Phantom Thief Bears_eye. Cat Saburo, and Hayatarou... Give up resistance!" This voice is also familiar to the three thieves in the house... Rabbit Beauty's voice.

"It's... it's Tumei-chan!" Xiong Ji's eyes widened, and he said in panic, "She... she is also outside, and... she has recognized the teacher and Senior Hayatarou!"

"As expected." Feng Bujue's tone showed that he had indeed anticipated this situation. "The moment the searchlight came on, I knew... we were tricked by Tumei." As he said that, he walked slowly to the second floor.

"I know, you probably thought... you could confront us by holding cat hostages." At this time, Tumei said again, "Don't dream! Miaomei and her family have left the house long ago!"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Bujue's footsteps suddenly froze: "What?"

The next second, he rushed out and went straight to Miaomei's room on the second floor. He didn't rush to kick the door (because he was not sure he could kick it open) or anything, but tried to turn the doorknob first, but... the door was not locked.

Feng Bujue pushed the door open and saw... an empty bed.

"Tsk... have you been tricked..." he spat unhappily.

Outside the house, Tu Mei was still using the loudspeaker to say, "Mao Sanlang, your every move has long been under our surveillance." She paused and said in a rather proud tone, "After you pretended to lose your class notes and went to investigate the terrain of Miao Mei's home, the police sent people in and quietly moved their family."

"Hey, Jue Ge...you..." Xiao Tan quickly caught up with Jue Ge's pace and appeared at the door of the room.

"Ah, I heard it all." Feng Bujue took a long breath, and then smiled, "Heh...interesting."

Seeing Feng Bujue's reaction, Wang Tanzhi immediately had an ominous premonition...

He was very familiar with Jue Ge, so he knew that when Feng Bujue showed such an expression and commented that someone or something was "interesting", it was often when he was forced into a desperate situation...

If he was simply suppressed by force, Jue Ge would not care much. But...being calculated at the level of wisdom is something he absolutely cannot accept.

At a moment like this, most people would have collapsed...

The action was carried out to the last step, and the dawn of victory was just around the corner, but it was reversed in an instant, and forced into a desperate situation... The frustration, fear and hesitation brought by this situation are indescribable.

If it were someone else, even if they did not collapse, they would fall into a panic and be at a loss, and it would be difficult to turn the situation around.

But Feng Bujue...is different. The more he encounters such a hopeless situation, the faster his mind works...It's as if there is an area in his brain that is usually not used, but at certain moments...it will be activated, allowing him to enter a special state of mind.

If it must be named..."Desperate" state should be a more appropriate name.

"Come out and surrender! Neko Saburo, Hayatarou, and bears_eye the Phantom Thief!" Usagi was still putting pressure on him from outside. "You don't have any hostages, and this house is surrounded. Confrontation and escape are impossible..." She paused for two seconds. "As for armed resistance... I advise you to think it over carefully." She said in a cold tone, "Compared to 'death'... it's better to be sent to the clinic, right?"

Clang clang clang——

The next second, the glass window on the second floor was smashed open.

A figure appeared in front of the window.

But see... (To be continued...)
