Chapter 270 The old grandfather whose money was stolen
The two of them immediately walked over quickly.
Ye Qingtian shouted in a loud voice: "Grandpa, don't go forward!"
The old man seemed not to hear her words, and kept staring at the lake, muttering something in his mouth, while his feet kept walking towards the lake.
Ye Qingtian quickly cast a Taoist spell to freeze him in place.
The old man probably felt that he was being frozen, and suddenly burst into tears as if he was waking up from a dream: "I lost my money... What should I do? My wife is still in the hospital..."
He cried heartbrokenly and soon attracted a crowd of tourists at the lakeside to watch.
The old man sobbed: "I'm sorry, my wife... I might as well die..."
He spoke in a southwest dialect, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear it clearly.
Ye Qingtian knew that the old man was not feeling well, so he placed a calming charm on him and said, "Don't be impulsive. If you have any difficulties, you can tell us."
At this time, many passers-by walking by the lake had gathered around.
Everyone gathered around and said one after another -
"Yes, if you have any difficulties, you can definitely tell us. There are so many of us, and we will definitely be able to help you solve them."
"No matter what, you can't do anything stupid."
"Grandpa, did you lose your money? How much money did you lose?"
"You don't have to worry too much. If you really lose your money, we can call the police for you and maybe you can get your money back."
Someone took out their mobile phone and immediately called the police.
But the old man cried even more sadly: "I can't get it back. The money was stolen by the thief... The thief ran away, and I definitely won't get it back..."
Fortunately, there was a Jingxin Calming Talisman, otherwise he would have fainted from crying.
Ye Qingtian scanned his life palace and said, "Don't worry, I can help you get your money back."
The old man was immersed in sadness and did not hear her words.
Ye Qingtian thought for a while and simply used magic to calm down the old man completely.
The old man stopped crying and became much more awake.
He glanced at the onlookers around him, his eyes still showing sadness and despair, and he knew in his heart that it would be impossible for him to commit suicide by jumping into the lake.
Because so many people are present, they will definitely stop him.
Ye Qingtian saw his thoughts in his eyes and comforted him: "Grandpa, you may not have heard me just now. I told you that I can help you find the stolen money."
Just now, from a distance, she saw that the old grandfather was covered in black air.
If she and Lu Cong hadn't caught him, the old man would definitely have committed suicide by jumping into the lake.
The grandfather’s wife has no money for treatment and will die soon.
With two lives, it was naturally impossible for her to ignore them.
The old man looked at Ye Qingtian with a pair of cloudy and red eyes, and said calmly: "You...can you help me get the money back?"
To be honest, he had no hope at all.
After all, thieves are really difficult to catch. Some thieves even commit crimes on the run, and then go to other places after stealing a sum.
And maybe the thief has already spent all the money, and even if he is caught, the money will not be returned.
The old man looked frustrated and said: "But my money was stolen at noon. It's almost six o'clock in the afternoon now. The thief must have run away long ago..."
Because of this, he was so desperate that he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the lake.
Because that money was his wife's life-saving money.
His wife is seriously ill and needs surgery.
And that money was his and his wife's life savings. If it was stolen, there would be nothing left.
A whole hundred thousand was stolen just like that!
Ye Qingtian looked at the old grandfather and told him with certainty: "I can catch the thief, you believe me."
Just then the police came over.
——There is a police box at the east gate of this artificial lake. After receiving the report, two police officers rushed over immediately.
When the leading middle-aged policeman heard Ye Qingtian's words, he said suspiciously: "Girl, can you really catch the thief?"
Nowadays, in the era of mobile payment, people rarely carry cash, the number of things stolen is much less, and there seem to be fewer thieves.
But just because there are fewer thieves, they are harder to catch.
Of course, the police will try their best to help catch thieves, but most thieves commit crimes in groups and on the run, so it is really difficult to catch them in a short time.
The onlookers also looked at Ye Qingtian curiously.
Ye Qingtian nodded: "I am a Taoist priest."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Then everyone looked at her suspiciously.
Someone even blurted out: "Such a young Taoist priest?"
The old man came from the countryside and believed in the half-immortals in the village.
But when he heard Ye Qingtian say he was a Taoist priest, his eyes looked a little distrustful.
The main thing is, Ye Qingtian is so beautiful, her clothes are all high-end products, and she is so young. She really doesn't look like a Taoist priest at all.
Ye Qingtian didn't explain much, just smiled slightly, looked at the old man, and said: "You were stolen at the bus stop on Donghu 3rd Road, right?"
The old man was startled.
He was indeed stolen there.
He withdrew the money from the bank using his passbook. After withdrawing the money, he took the bus to the hospital.
As soon as I got off the bus, I discovered that the money had been stolen.
And he didn't even know whether the money was stolen when he left the bank, on the bus, or when he got off the bus.
Ye Qingtian said: "I saw from your face that it was two young men who stole your money."
"One is very strong, with a full face, and the other has dyed yellow hair and earrings."
The old man frowned, recalled carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Yes, there seem to be these two people on the bus!"
The reason why he remembered those two people was because the young man with a sinister face squeezed him.
Was his money stolen at that time?
He was stunned for a moment and murmured: "If they stole it, then they...should have run away long ago..."
Because he remembered that those two people got off the train several stops ahead of him.
Ye Qingtian smiled and said, "Don't worry, they can't escape. I've already figured out where they are."
The old man suddenly looked at her hopefully.
The others also pricked up their ears.
The leading police officer frowned and said in disbelief: "Can you really figure out where they are?"
Ye Qingtian hummed, took out the yellow paper, cinnabar and a brush, drew a Bagua formation, recited a few more mantras, and said, "I have trapped them temporarily."
She looked at the leading police officer and said, "They are now at a hotel called Yunju Ke Lai near the train station. Please contact your colleagues to arrest them, and you must rush there as soon as possible."
"They haven't squandered the money yet, but they will go to the train station soon and take the 7 o'clock train to Macau to gamble."
Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in confusion, not knowing whether to believe her or not.
After all, although she took out the yellow paper and cinnabar to draw the Eight Diagrams array and recited the incantation, these actions seemed a bit too childish, much like a fake Taoist priest who was trying to trick her.
The leading police officer stared at her speechlessly and said, "Little girl, you will be arrested if you engage in such feudal superstition in public."
Ye Qingtian also knew that reciting the mantra seemed too simple and seemed a bit unreliable.
She thought for a while, then simply took out the yellow paper, folded a small paper figure, and said, "Go ahead and watch the two thieves, don't let them escape."
The little paper man immediately flew up from her hand, circled around her, and then flew towards the train station.
Everyone: "!"
The moment the little paper man flew up, everyone present was shocked.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and were speechless for a long time.
