There was a large pot of charcoal fire burning in the classroom, but it seemed colder beside the charcoal fire than outside where the north wind was howling. Catcher squatted on the long bench beside the charcoal basin, facing the fire, his purple face reflected the green charcoal fire, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.The rest of the dozen or so catchers in the class stood as close to the corner of the wall as possible, away from the head catcher, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the right hand of the catcher. Picking up the charcoal from the fire, with a little force with your fingers, the large piece of charcoal will crack and break into countless pieces, splashing many sparks, and falling into the charcoal basin.

Everyone was thinking in their hearts: If the big thief is caught by the arresting head, will the arresting head take action immediately, and use his famous iron sand palm to break the big thief's neck bone in one blow? Regarding this point, although everyone still has different opinions, they will definitely be merciless when it comes to arresting the head. As soon as the big thief is caught, he will definitely have his tendons and tendons broken first, there is absolutely no doubt.That elusive thief has committed nine earth-shattering crimes in the past three months. Two days ago, he actually stole into the room of the nine-door admiral and third auntie, not only stole a large amount of jewelry, but also tied up the Third aunt, be frivolous.The admiral jumped into a rage, and the roar almost shook the yamen.The head-hunter should be under the supervision of the admiral, not afraid of the officials, but of the supervision. The order is to solve the case within three days, and the stolen goods must be caught.Seeing that two days have passed, scouts and cavalry are everywhere. Although the admiral authorized them to be transferred to the capital to arrest all the officers and soldiers, but even the big thief looks like what San Yiniang said: "The thief's hand, and it's not the same." thin and white

There are probably tens of thousands of thin and white hands inside and outside the capital. Based on this, even if you have been a headhunter for more than 30 years, you are helpless! Thinking of this, Catcher picked up a big piece of charcoal from the boss again, with great luck, he squeezed his fingers together, and with a clacking sound, the piece of charcoal burst into sparks and shattered, and he suddenly stood up , took a breath, and spit it out from his broad chest, making a chuffing sound. The admiral's yelling at him when he was furious made his ears buzzing, and he couldn't hear what he was yelling at all. Can't live!

He walked towards the door. There was a thick cotton curtain hanging on the door. He breathed out again, put his five fingers together, and thrust forward at once. The cotton curtain, which was about an inch thick, was passed through by his five fingers like sharp knives. Heck, he kicked the door open, a gust of cold wind swept over, and he strode out. The catchers in the squad room were trembling in the cold wind, looking at the cotton curtains on the ground: It is easy to coerce broken charcoal, but it is not easy to pass through the soft and effortless cotton curtains. How high the iron sand palm has been refined!

A catcher murmured: This is unique in the world! The other one who knew at a glance that it was the husband's family sighed: so what?The admiral has a limit of three days. If no one gets the stolen goods in three days, he will tie the captor lady to the intersection. No matter how frivolous the third aunt has been treated by the thief, it is still frivolous to catch the captor lady! The two young policemen trembled with anger: Is this plausible? Husband smiled wryly: What the official said is just like words!The catcher's wife is young and juicy, she is young enough to be the catcher's daughter, so I don't know how she will marry the catcher!

Young Loud: Of course, I respect the head catcher as a hero! Everyone sighed, thinking the same thing in their hearts: so what about a hero?Being an official, you have to listen to the orders of the official. It seems that the admiral can really do it! Naturally, the catcher didn't know what other people were thinking. As soon as he went out, when the cold wind hit his face, he stretched out his hand to his face, stroked it heavily, and remembered what she said when he and his young wife met for the first time. In other words, a good man, why has he been in the officialdom for thirty years and still doesn't want to leave!

At that time, he was in a daze, staring at the pretty young girl in front of him (of course she was a big girl, but at his age, she was also a little girl), staring at the extremely attractive thin red lips For the first time in his fifty years of single life, he had the urge to kiss the lips of a man of the opposite sex. However, what shocked him was naturally the kind of words that he had never heard before coming out of that small mouth; it made him bewildered.His answer was so childish that it didn't match his burly appearance, his famous reputation, or his superb martial arts: How could he leave?

She covered her mouth with the back of her hand and smiled, her hands were thin and white, and took a breath: There is always a way! The days that followed were fast and dreamy, like a dream after drunkenness, piece by piece, I couldn’t remember it, it was too sweet to describe, he married her, and she became his little wife, which made him Know what people live in this world for! Then, within half a year, a big thief appeared in the capital, and the admiral actually came up with such a way to limit him to solve the case within three days!

When he raised his head, he realized that he had arrived in front of the house.At this moment, the door opened, and his young wife came out with two bundles and threw one to him.

He took it in his hand with a heavy weight, and she smiled a little embarrassedly: let's go, the sea is wide and the sky is wide, where is it not easy to go! He stared at her for a long time before he understood what she meant when she said that there was always a way.
