Chapter 147: The Murderer Has Been Food
“Squeak –”
Hearing the scratching sound, Lin Bai thought it was something, but when he turned around, it turned out to be Little Treasure. It immediately jumped onto the bed and raised it little paws as if he was presenting a treasure.
However, there was nothing on his little paws. Lin Bai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What are you trying to do?”
As soon as he said that, a white light flashed.
Lin Bai’s bed was instantly filled with all kinds of heavenly treasures and precious medicinal herbs. He was dumbfounded as he stared at Little Treasure’s small body, which was almost the size of a palm. He didn’t expect it to have its own pocket dimension.
The treasure-hunting mouse didn’t have the ability of pocket dimension, but Little Treasure did. Lin Bai was even more curious about its ident.i.ty and origin now. However, he was certain that Little Treasure’s ident.i.ty was extraordinary.
He couldn’t help but tap its head. “I didn’t know that you hid your abilities so well.”
When they first met, even when they signed the contract, he didn’t know that Little Treasure had its own pocket dimension. No wonder some of Lin Bai’s pills and magic treasures disappeared for no reason. At that time, he thought that he had accidentally lost them or that his pet beasts were greedy. Now, it seemed that this was all due to Little Treasure.
If it had not taken the initiative to expose itself today, Lin Bai might never have discovered it.
Little Green and Little Red also had shocked expressions on their faces. It was as if they were saying, “The mole among us is actually you!”
Little Treasure was thick-skinned and did not care about them. He pushed the things on the bed forward with a heroic look on his face, motioning for Lin Bai to take whatever he wanted.
Lin Bai did not know whether to laugh or cry. No wonder Little Treasure had been running out these days and did not see them. He must have been searching everywhere. It was not difficult to see that there were a few extremely precious items inside. It should not be something that an ordinary disciple could have.
He suspected that Little Treasure had robbed the private vault of Shao Feng and the few elders of the Shao family.
“You should return these to them.” Lin Bai did not want to cause trouble, but Little Treasure was a little unhappy. He pouted and began to throw a tantrum.
Lin Bai threatened, “If you don’t return them, I won’t be able to protect you if someone finds out.”
Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps from outside. It sounded very lively.
“It’s here! I saw that black shadow just now, so I ran over here, but now I don’t see it at all!”
Whatever he said came true. Lin Bai revealed a bitter smile. HoweverLittle Treasure was very clever. Once again, he stored all the treasures in his own pocket dimension.
A group of Shao family disciples flew into a rage and came to the courtyard where Bai He and the others were resting. Bai He, Chen Yan, and the others did not know what had happened. Before they could ask any questions, they were immediately scolded by those disciples.
“You bunch of short sighted country b.u.mpkins. Our Shao family was kind enough to take you in and even gave you a platform to learn and communicate. I didn’t expect you to repay us like this.”
Chen Yan and the others were a little confused when they heard this. They did not understand what they were saying. “Is there some misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding?”
The leading disciple sneered.
“I was wondering why we keep losing things these days. Nothing like this has ever happened before. I thought it was because of the everyone’s carelessness. In the end, it turns out that more than one person has lost things. There’s nothing wrong with us. The problem must be you guys!”
Bai He and the others finally understood the situation when they heard this. It turned out that they thought they were stealing.
Chen Yan could not help but say, “Don’t slander us here. What makes you think that we are the ones who stole!”
“Who else could it be other than you? Which audacious thief would patronize our Shao family! Moreover, we have never lost anything before!”
“That’s right! Moreover, you are actually greedy and insatiable. You even stole from the family head and the elders. You simply don’t know how to spell the word ‘death’!”
“We set up a trap and wanted to catch you with stolen goods. Let’s see how you can quibble. I didn’t expect that you guys would be so cunning as to escape. That black shadow just now was coming your way. Several of our disciples saw it.”
“You bunch of people are really shameless. You actually trained your pets to steal things. No wonder we didn’t notice anything earlier. If you’re sensible, hurry up and hand over the person and the things. Otherwise, we’ll make you suffer!”
The members of the Shao family spoke one after another. Bai He and the others finally figured out the truth of the matter. It turned out that the Shao family had been stolen by recently. At first, they thought it was an internal thief, but after an investigation, they had become the suspect.
It was only because they could not find any evidence to catch the person that they had been holding back. However, now that Shao Feng had set up a trap and was about to catch the culprit, it had escaped.
Even so, there were a few people who could vaguely see the figure of the culprit. It was small like a bolt of lightning and disappeared without a trace. It should be a smaller pet beast or something.
Then, they used special methods to track it and arrived at the courtyard where Bai He was.
Bai He and the others did not see anything, so how could they believe what the Shao family disciples said? However, these people spoke with certainty and were aggressive. They did not look like they were lying.
“I’m sorry, there might be some misunderstanding. Let’s calm down first.”
However, that disciple did not buy it at all, he sneered and said, “You stole things just to heal Lin Bai’s injuries, right? After all, there are quite a number of healing medicines in there. Aren’t you all too arrogant? Do you really think that our Shao family has no one? !”
“Since you’re not willing to hand him over, then we’ll find him ourselves! When the time comes, we’ll catch him red-handed. Don’t blame us for not being polite!”
Immediately, they were going to break in.
