  Zhou Baopu's mind moved, but then he thought of the beggar-like appearance and horrified expression of the young man in blue shirt, and immediately dismissed the doubts in his heart. Instead, the sympathy in his heart became even more overflowing. Looking at the group of people on the other side, Zhou Baopu's right hand tightened the black sickle he had been holding.

  "Duanmusen, I still hope that this brother will not get involved in this matter."

  A young man opposite Zhou Baopu raised his fist in front of Zhou Baopu and said with an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant. He obviously had a deep education.

  However, it is a pity that due to Zhou Baopu's preconceptions, he had long believed that the boy in blue shirt was innocent. How could he believe Duanmusen's seemingly high-sounding words?

  "I'm in charge of this matter. I've seen a lot of people like you, and I've seen a lot of excuses from people like you, so you'd better leave. I'm in a good mood now, otherwise, don't blame me So cruel!"

  While saying this, Zhou Baopu also raised the black curved sickle in his hand from time to time, as if he was very powerful.

  When Zhou Baopu finished speaking these words, before Duanmu Sen could refute, he heard a young man behind him say: "I think you don't know how to die! You can afford to go against the Duanmu family. "

  The Duanmu family?"

  Zhou Baopu had some doubts in his heart, but he soon understood that the so-called Duanmu family must be a big family.

  "Help me, as long as you save me, I, Shi Tao, will never say no to anything you ask me to do!"

  Seeing Zhou Baopu stunned, the man in blue shirt hiding behind him moved slightly, thinking that Zhou Baopu already knew Because of Duanmujia's name, he didn't dare to be his enemy, so he tugged on Zhou Baopu's back shirt with a worried expression and said in a trembling tone, looking quite begging for mercy.

  At this time, Zhou Baopu once again strengthened his position. He felt that if he worried too much, wouldn't he be unable to take care of his persistence?
  Thinking of this, Zhou Baopu suddenly became determined. He looked at Duanmusen across from him, looked at him seriously and said, "I want to know, what evidence do you have for saying that Shi Tao stole your wallet?" "Although there is no evidence

  . What evidence, but with so many people at the scene, he is the most suspicious!" "

  That is, before Master Duanmu's wallet was lost, he deliberately bumped into Master Duanmu, and then fled in a sneaky way. If he hadn't had a guilty conscience, Why did you run so fast?"

  The reserve formed by a good tutor suppressed Duanmusen's explanation. He glanced at the two people behind him and signaled them to tell them the whole story. .

  The two men had obviously been following Duanmusen for more than a day or two, so when they saw Duanmusen's signal, they immediately understood what the order was and immediately reproduced the scene at that time in no particular order.

  After Zhou Baopu heard the two people's excited explanations, he immediately understood, as if he had seen the scene at that time.

  Duanmusen was leading a group of teenagers, admiring the exquisiteness in a leisurely manner, but helplessly, a slovenly Shi Tao walked towards him in the bustling square. Seeing Shi Tao's rags and poverty, Duanmusen would definitely want to avoid Shi Tao, with some disgust in his expression.

  But I don’t know why, this Shi Tao is too self-aware. When he saw Duan Musen trying to avoid him, instead of avoiding him, he took the initiative and bumped into Duan Musen in a hurry, and after that, his expression changed. Ran away in panic.

  Duanmusen was shocked and quickly touched his belt. He was shocked to find that his money bag had disappeared, which was why he staged the good show of chasing each other that Zhou Baopu saw.

  According to this speculation, Shi Tao's suspicion is really not that big, but Zhou Baopu's subconscious has already made a decision, so he did not make an immediate conclusion, but turned around, stared at Shi Tao with firm eyes and asked: "They Are everything you said true?"

  "Everything is true."

  Shi Tao did not intend to deny this, but looked at Zhou Baopu calmly and acknowledged Duanmusen's defense.

  "So, what explanation do you have for this?"

  "I was anxious and ran so eagerly after asking for the direction of the toilet. As for bumping into Duanmusen, it was a complete coincidence. After we bumped into each other, I was afraid that the other party would entangle me, and I was really impatient, so I had no choice but to run away!" "

  Brother Duanmu, I have a question. I wonder if you can answer it?" "

  You Excuse me, I must know everything."

  "Excuse me, are there toilets in the direction you came from?"

  Duanmusen frowned slightly, as if he was hesitating, but he immediately dispelled his doubts , as if he had figured something out, he said to Zhou Baopu: "There is indeed a toilet. Do you really naively think that he is in a hurry to solve his internal problems?" "Then let me ask you one last question

  . Can you be sure that your wallet still existed before the moment it hit Shi Tao?"

  Zhou Baopu suddenly mentioned the key to the problem. If Duanmusen's wallet still existed before the moment he hit Shi Tao, then There is no doubt that Shi Tao is almost certain to be a thief. But if this is not the case, I am afraid the truth of the matter is still unknown.

  Of course, all these assumptions are based on Duanmusen's honesty. If Duanmusen didn't tell the truth, then all Zhou Baopu's inferences could only be his own conjectures. Therefore, Zhou Baopu transferred the decision-making power to Duanmusen invisibly.

  Somehow, subconsciously, Zhou Baopu felt that Duanmusen was a person worthy of his trust.

  This sense of trust has no foundation at all. It comes purely from the first feeling of seeing Duanmusen at first sight.

  Duanmusen looked at Zhou Baopu and was a little surprised. After all, he did not expect that Zhou Baopu would put the final decision-making power completely in the palm of his hand.

  Although he had some doubts in his heart, when he saw Zhou Baopu's sincere eyes, Duanmusen still said: "I really didn't pay attention to this, but so far, Shi Tao is the most suspicious person."

  When Zhou Baopu heard what Duan Musen said, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he did not misjudge Duan Musen. Although Duan Musen seemed to be a pampered rich man, he still told him the truth very sincerely in the end.

  After hearing these words, Zhou Baopu clearly felt that Shi Tao behind him breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.

  "Since you said so, it means that he just has some suspicions, so please don't be so reckless in trying to catch Shi Tao."

  Zhou Baopu looked at Shi Tao and then at Duan Musen, with a flash in his eyes. After a flash of strange light, he glanced at everyone again and once again firmly stated his position.

  From beginning to end, Shi Tao has always behaved very cowardly, as if he was truly afraid that Zhou Baopu would not be able to stop Duanmusen.

  However, immediately, Shi Tao felt something was wrong in his heart.
