Chapter 259: Catch a thief? Catch a ghost!
"Uh, Boss Bai, what does this mean?"

Qin Hao subconsciously took the rope handed to him by Bai Yongnian, feeling a little confused.

"This was given to me by a friend. Maybe it can help you."

Bai Yongnian said this and pointed in the direction of the mixer.

Qin Hao's body trembled, and the action of holding the rope with one hand changed to holding the rope with both hands, as if what was in his hand was not a rope but an imperial edict.

"Boss Bai, is this thing really useful? How do I use it?"

Qin Hao looked at the rope with burning eyes.

"I don't know the specific usage, and I don't know whether it will work, but you have no other choice now, so why not give it a try?"

Hearing Bai Yongnian say this, Qin Hao's eyes twitched.

I don't know anything, and you want me to try, risk my life?

"Okay, I'll go find someone brave enough to bring a rope and try it out!"

Qin Hao gritted his teeth and agreed.

If Bai Yongnian says let’s try it, even if it doesn’t work, as long as Bai Yongnian can continue to help later it’s fine!
Thinking of this, Qin Hao took Bai Yongnian to the office.

After a few phone calls were made, five people came to the office one after another. They were all strong and healthy with rosy complexions.

Looking at those people, Qin Hao no longer had the flattery he showed towards Bai Yongnian on his face.

"Now there is an opportunity. Don't ask why. It's not a crime of murder or arson. It only takes one night. You can get 10,000 Daxia coins the next morning. After that, you can choose to be promoted to a higher level or have your salary doubled. Is there anyone willing to do it?"

Qin Hao's words stunned the five people who came in.

In the past, they had only heard of pie falling from the sky but had never seen it happen. This time, they really broadened their horizons.

Immediately, three of the younger ones among the five said excitedly, "Let's do it!"

The remaining two with more experience asked a question.

"Boss, is there any danger?"

Qin Hao smiled.

"No danger. Do you think I have too much money to spend?"

After these words were spoken, the two older ones fell silent.

The older you get, the more worries you have.

Although money is good, it has to be earned safely! The other three younger ones also calmed down at this time and began to consider the pros and cons.

For a while, the scene became quiet.

Seeing the five people hesitating, Qin Hao became a little impatient.

"If you don't want to do it, leave now. I'm looking for people to do it, not forcing them to do it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two older ones left, and the remaining three young men hesitated, wondering what they were thinking.

However, soon someone spoke up?

"Boss, if you don't tell me what happened or how dangerous it is, even if I want to fight, I have to think about the rest of my life. If I get limped or hobbled by accident, that ten thousand won't be worth anything!"

Qin Hao looked at Zhang Ming who was talking and felt a little annoyed!

Among the several people, he actually thought that Zhang Ming was the most likely to do this, because he knew this guy's character well.

But who would have thought that not only did he not want to do it, he also said it so bluntly.

Seeing the other two people's determined eyes, Qin Hao stared at Zhang Ming coldly and said, "If that's the case, then you can go."

After Qin Hao finished speaking, Zhang Ming took the two young men who were frightened by Qin Hao's tone away.

Looking at the empty room, Bai Yongnian smiled.

"Your employees are quite cautious."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Hao's face twitched a little.

Just as he picked up the phone and was thinking about who to call, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Qin Hao put away his expression and was about to ask what was going on when he was stunned.

The person who came in was none other than Zhang Ming, who had just left not long ago.

Qin Hao's face darkened?
"What are you doing back?"

"Boss, I want to make progress!"

This sentence stunned both people in the office.

"So you just instigated the other two on purpose?"

Looking at the smiling Zhang Ming, Bai Yongnian understood.

"Boss Qin's employees are quite interesting."

Hearing this, Qin Hao smiled.

"Zhang Ming, please sit down."

Looking at Zhang Ming who was sitting and waiting for his instructions, Qin Hao asked with a smile: "Are you sure you want to do it?"

"Do it! Why not? You can earn 10,000 yuan and get a promotion and a raise without committing crimes, so why not do it?"

Zhang Ming said with a firm look on his face.

"Aren't you afraid of danger?"

"I'm afraid! But I believe the boss won't treat me unfairly."

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, go to Li Kang tomorrow to take over. You will be the sales manager."

"Uh."

Zhang Ming knew that wealth and honor must be achieved through risk, but he didn't expect it to be so rich.

"But Manager Li..."

"What happened to him? He sold a batch of bad feed to Mr. Bai, causing him to suffer heavy losses. What do you think happened to him?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ming's eyes were filled with joy.

In this case, he is not afraid of offending people.

"Not really, everything is up to the boss!"

"Well, go back first, eat something good, and come to my office at 10 o'clock in the evening."

As he spoke, Qin Hao took out two bundles of Daxia coins from the drawer and threw them out.

Originally he was thinking of finding two people so that it would be better to have a companion, but now that there is only one person, he might as well give all the money away, just to motivate this kid.

Seeing Zhang Ming leave with profuse thanks, Qin Hao immediately put on a smile and turned to look at Bai Yongnian?
"Boss Bai, everything has been arranged. Do you want to go have a meal?"

Bai Yongnian did not refuse this time.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Ming came to Qin Hao's office at ten o'clock in the evening.

"boss."

"Well, here we come."

Qin Hao stood up, took out the rope from the drawer and walked in front of Zhang Ming.

"Take it."

Zhang Ming didn't understand why, but he took it anyway.

"Do you know about Mixing Room No. 2?"

"know."

"Do you know why the work has been suspended recently?"

"do not know!"

"Because there was a thief!"

"what?"

Zhang Ming was confused. A thief?
What did the thief do in the mixing room? To steal the feed or the mixer?

"An important part of the blender was stolen, so the blender stopped working and our production capacity dropped by one third. This loss is not just 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."

Zhang Ming seemed to understand something.

"Boss, do you want me to catch the thief?"

Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction.

"You are a brave but careful boy. Yes, we are going to catch a thief. I have heard that the thief will come again tonight. I want to catch him red-handed!"

"This rope is your weapon. Find him, subdue him, and tie him up!"

"After doing this, your mission is completed."

Zhang Ming was confused, thinking that there was some illogicality here.

How did Qin Hao know that the thief would come tonight?

We all know who the thief is, why don't we just catch him?
Shouldn't there be cameras in the mixing room?
Although he was confused, Zhang Ming didn't say anything.

He once heard a saying when watching short videos: "The less you know, the longer you live!"

So, he didn't plan to ask and just focus on his work.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Qin Hao patted Zhang Ming on the shoulder.

"Come on, I'll take you there. After we're done, you'll be alone in there tonight. I won't turn on the lights, aren't you afraid?" "A grown man is afraid of the dark?"

"it is good!"

Soon, the two arrived at mixing room No. 2 and Qin Hao opened the door.

Although there are windows in the room, the moonlight cannot shine in too much, and only some of the furnishings in the room can be vaguely seen.

Looking at the dark room, a hint of fear flashed in Qin Hao's eyes.

Turning his head, he looked at Zhang Ming.

"How about I find you a flashlight?"

"Need not!"

Zhang Ming grabbed the rolled-up rope with one hand and strode in, leaving only one sentence:
"Boss, close the door!"

Looking at Zhang Ming disappearing in the darkness of the room, Qin Hao no longer hesitated and closed the door with a bang.

……

Not long after Zhang Ming entered the room, his eyesight adjusted to the darkness and he gradually saw the situation clearly.

He had been to Mixing Room No. 2 before, but didn't have a deep impression of it.

Thinking about what would happen next, Zhang Ming walked around the mixing room to familiarize himself with the situation inside.

The room was not big, but it took half an hour to finish all this.

Everything was ready, and Zhang Ming walked towards the mixer.

Since you want to catch a thief at night, you naturally cannot be discovered by the thief, otherwise it will be a fight, so you have to find a good hiding place.

The best hiding place in this room is definitely the blender itself.

Whether it is hidden at the mixer inlet or under the mixer, it can avoid being peeped from most fields of vision.

After his eyes lingered on the blender for a while, he finally set his gaze under the blender.

There are two reasons for choosing the following.

One is the rope in his hand. Since Qin Hao said he wanted to tie him up, he couldn't do it on his own.

A blender is nice, but which thief would steal things from a blender?
At that time, it is inevitable that it will jump out of the blender.

If the thief reacted quickly, he might not be able to catch him. Wouldn’t his position as manager be ruined?
What is more serious is Qin Hao’s disappointment in him.

He had finally climbed up, and if he lost the opportunity because of this, he would have to get up and slap himself in the face before going to sleep again in his dreams!
As for the second reason, it was purely because he watched too many short videos and always felt that some unscrupulous people wanted to harm him. He thought that after he entered the blender, someone would turn on the blender and grind him into feed.

After making his choice, Zhang Ming took the rope and hid in the corner under the mixer.

After finding a comfortable position, Zhang Ming began to review everything that happened today.

As he thought about it, he laughed out loud.

"When luck comes, it's unstoppable!"

After imagining the glory of becoming a manager for an hour, Zhang Ming suddenly touched a rope lying on the ground.

In the darkness, he couldn't see the color of the rope, but just now in the office, he had seen the full appearance of the rope.

"It's dark red, and the color varies in depth. It looks a bit crudely made. Can it be used to tie someone up?"

As he spoke, Zhang Ming grabbed one end of the rope and pulled hard with both hands.

"Hmm...huh..."

Zhang Ming's face turned red due to the exertion, but returned to normal as he exhaled.

“The quality is pretty good.”

Zhang Ming nodded and put the rope away.

He took out his phone and looked at the time.

23:46
Nearly two hours passed, the excitement gradually faded, and Zhang Ming began to feel bored.

In order to wait and see, he didn't dare to play with his mobile phone and could only check the time.

It is precisely because I keep looking at the time that time passes very slowly.

Out of boredom, Zhang Ming began to think about the unreasonableness of Qin Hao asking him to do this.

If there was a thief, the news would have spread in the factory long ago. The thief stole things and the machines stopped working, so the workers would naturally be the first to know.

But he hadn't heard any news recently, and the closure of mixing room No. 2 was very abrupt.

This is a point that doesn't make sense.

Also, Qin Hao actually knew that there would be a thief tonight. How did he know that?
If he knew, why didn't he just catch him? Even if the stolen goods were sold, there would be traces, right? It would be easier than waiting for the thief to commit a second crime.

Also, if you want to catch a thief, then catch the thief. Why is that Boss Bai also here? What role does he play in this?

After thinking about it one by one, Zhang Ming always felt that this matter was not simple.

So what if it’s not simple?

All he can do is do what he should do.

The less you know, the longer you live!

Thinking of this wise saying, Zhang Ming stopped thinking about it, leaned back, closed his eyes and began to doze off.

"Should have brought some wine."

Zhang Ming smacked his lips as he thought so.

The night without electronic products is quiet, and it has been a long time since Zhang Ming had such a quiet night doing nothing.

It was unknown how long it had been, but a chill suddenly woke Zhang Ming up.

"So cold?"

Zhang Ming shrank his body and was about to check the time when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound above his head.

Zhang Ming was stunned.

He was very familiar with this sound, it was the sound of a blender turning, but who would turn on the blender in the middle of the night?
Qin Hao?

No, isn't the blender broken?
Zhang Ming saw the pitch-black room through the obstruction.

"No lights on?"

Suddenly, Zhang Ming thought of his mission tonight!

thief!
The thief is coming!
Zhang Ming's eyes showed excitement.

He ignored why the blender was working properly, ignored the fact that Qin Hao didn't show up despite the loud noise made by the blender, and ignored the coldness around him.

He now has only one idea, to catch the thief, get promoted and get a pay raise!

With this thought in mind, Zhang Ming grabbed the rope and slowly looked outside.

On the left, no.

On the right, no.

Zhang Ming leaned out and looked towards the farther corner, but still did not see the thief.

Because of the noise of the blender, Zhang Ming couldn't hear the footsteps and could only look around little by little.

But when he walked around the blender, he didn't see anyone.

What about people?

The sound of the blender made Zhang Ming a little upset. He turned around and looked at the blender.

His eyes scanned the area and finally stopped above the mixer.

Looking at the figure at the entrance of the blender with half of his body inserted into the blender, Zhang Ming's eyes changed from astonishment to ecstasy.

Putting the rope around his neck, Zhang Ming climbed up the mixer on tiptoe.

As they got closer, Zhang Ming's heart beat faster and faster.

It feels like there are only two people left in a battle royale game, sniping each other!

As his heartbeat became faster and faster, Zhang Ming grabbed the thief's leg!

"Where are you running to! Get down here!"

Wow!
He swung the legs up.

Looking at the pair of legs in his hands, the ecstasy on Zhang Ming's face disappeared, replaced by a look of horror.

No matter how brave he is, he is just an ordinary person.

Bang!
His legs were thrown apart, and when Zhang Ming was about to jump off the blender and run away, his clothes were suddenly grabbed by the back of his neck.

Turning his head, he saw a hand reaching out of the blender. A huge force hit him and Zhang Ming was lifted up and thrown towards the rotating blender.

……

In the monitoring room.

Qin Hao's face turned pale as he watched Zhang Ming climb up the turned on blender and fight with the air for some unknown reason.

"What are you waiting for? Turn off the power!"

Bai Yongnian kicked Qin Hao and woke him up.

"Yes, pull the switch!"

Qin Hao ran out in panic, leaving Bai Yongnian alone looking at Zhang Ming with a pale face as he was about to fall into the blender.

Just as the tragedy was about to happen, Bai Yongnian saw the rope around Zhang Ming's neck move.

The rope bound the air like a snake, as if there was something somewhere!
Snapped!
The monitor went out and the entire Crow Feather Factory fell into darkness.
