I'm in the world of Xianjian

The next morning, the bailiffs carried the bodies of several thieves back to the county government office and handed them over to the coroner for examination. After removing the veils, the coroner found that the thieves were all women, and their identities were still being verified.

In addition, the bailiff found a bloody kunai in a corner. After taking it back, the coroner confirmed that the female thieves were not killed by this weapon.

Lin Shen was also called in for questioning because of his actions last night, and Lin Shen also told the Yangzhou prefect what happened last night.

After recording the confession, the yamen released Lin Shen, and Anu met Lin Shen at the yamen gate. She felt relieved only after making sure that no one in the yamen had done anything to Lin Shen.

After the two returned to the inn, they discussed with Li Xiaoyao and others what to do.

Lin Shen thought to himself: Actually, I know who did it, but the problem is that it would be boring if I pointed it out.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Let's go to the scene and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."

Lin Yueru and the others agreed, so they went to the scene of yesterday's fight. Lin Shen also told them what happened yesterday.

Lin Yueru said, "In that case, you must have injured their leader. There should be bloodstains. Let's look for them."

So a few people searched on the rooftop, and as they were searching, they heard Lin Yueru shout, "Look, there's blood here."

Li Xiaoyao and his companions ran over and saw that they found a pool of blood on the roof. In addition to the pool of blood, there were a few drops of blood that went along a route to the east of the city. So the five of them followed the blood trail and searched all the way.

As the five people searched, they found that the bloodstains disappeared at the roof of a courtyard. Lin Shen looked around the courtyard carefully and found a dry well on the west side.

Lin Shen thought: According to the game map, Ji Sanniang's home is here.

At this time, a maid was seen coming out from the back door of the courtyard, holding something in her arms, and then running stealthily to the river.

Lin Shen teleported behind the maid and knocked her unconscious when she was not prepared. Lin Shen pointed his finger at the maid's forehead and searched her memory. After confirming that this maid was one of the thieves from last night, he brought her back.

Lin Yueru asked, "Anos, what are you doing?"

Lin Shen said, "Sneaking around in broad daylight is definitely not a good thing."

After saying that, Lin Shen took out something from the maid's arms, which was a bag of blood-stained gauze.

Li Xiaoyao said, "That won't work. The theft last night was committed by the owner of that courtyard."

Anu said, "It's very likely, otherwise there's no explanation for this bloody gauze."

Zhao Linger said, "Then what should we do?"

Lin Shen said, "Let's find a place to get her to talk first and find out her current situation."

Anu said, "Where shall we take her?"

Lin Shen thought about it and said, "I got it."

After saying that, Lin Shen used the Yuexing technique to bring Lin Shen and his group and the maid to Longtan, and then tied the maid to a tree.

Zhao Linger looked at the unfamiliar environment of Longtan and asked, "Brother Anos, what is this place?"

Lin Shen took some water from the lake and said, "This is Longtan, one of my trial sites."

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Why did you bring us here?"

Lin Shen said, "It's time to interrogate the suspect."

After saying that, Lin Shen poured water on the maid, who shivered and woke up.

The maid found herself in an unfamiliar environment, tied up, and with only a few people in front of her.

The maid said, "Who are you? Why are you arresting me? I didn't do anything."

Lin Shen said, "Tell me, who are you and what were you doing sneakily just now?"

The maid said, "I don't understand what you are saying."

Lin Shen said, "You're quite good at pretending."

Lin Shen took out the blood-stained gauze and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

The maid said, "My master is injured. Isn't it normal to throw away the changed gauze?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "It's a normal thing, a normal thing, but why do you have to do it secretly? And you even dump it into the river. Are you trying to use the river to wash away the evidence?!"

Lin Shen said, "You're quite good at making excuses. Don't think I don't know that you were also involved in your theft last night."

The maid was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Shen carefully and immediately gasped in shock. But she soon recovered and said, "I won't say anything."

Lin Yueru said, "She's still pretty stubborn. How about giving her a beating?"

Lin Shen said, "Your move is too violent. Watch me." After that, Lin Shen took off the maid's shoes, exposing her feet.

Zhao Linger asked, "Brother Anos, what are you doing?"

Lin Shen said, "Ling'er, I just wanted her to enjoy a foot massage."

Zhao Linger, Li Xiaoyao and the other three looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

Lin Shen conjured up a feather, then held the maid's foot with his left hand and tickled the soles of her feet with the feather in his right hand. The maid felt an itch coming from the soles of her feet and began to laugh uncontrollably.

The maid laughed and begged for mercy, "Stop scratching...hahaha...please...stop scratching...hahaha..."

Lin Shen pretended not to hear and continued to tickle the maid's feet, but while tickling he said, "Little girl, don't think that I am just tickling the soles of your feet and that's it.

There is a Western punishment called the laughing punishment, in which a serious criminal is tied to a rack with the soles of his feet exposed. Honey, sugar, or salt water are then smeared on the soles of his feet, and a goat is made to lick the prisoner's feet.

The prisoners would laugh uncontrollably because of the goats' licking, and over time, their brains would be deprived of oxygen, and they would die of laughter."

Lin Yueru, who was standing next to him, was stunned when she heard this and said, "Why, people can die of laughter?"

Lin Shen said as he tickled her, "Yes, prolonged laughter can cause cardiac arrest or suffocation."

At this time, Lin Yueru and the other three couldn't help but shudder. Anu said, "I can always learn something new when I'm with Brother Anos."

After tickling for about half an incense stick of time, the maid couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Hero...hahaha...stop tickling...hahahaha...I said...I said...hahaha...stop tickling."

Lin Shen finally stopped at this time, and the maid was gasping for breath. Li Xiaoyao and others knew at a glance that the continuous laughter had caused the maid a lot of pain, and it also proved that laughing for a long time would indeed cause suffocation.

After catching her breath, the maid said, "Last night, the master was injured by you with a hidden weapon. That pack of gauze was used to bandage the master's wound."

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Who is your master?"

The maid said, "My master's name is Ji Sanniang, and she is a famous thief in Yangzhou."

Lin Shen asked, "How many people do you have under your command? Where is the stolen treasure?"

The maid said, "There are still more than thirty people here. The treasures are all in the dry well next to the courtyard. There is an underground secret passage inside.

At the end of the secret passage is a secret room where all the treasures are kept. The secret room is connected to the main hall of the courtyard."

Li Xiaoyao asked, "What did you do with the stolen treasure?"

The maid said, "The master will take the lion's share, and the rest will be distributed among the sisters who participated in the operation."

Lin Shen whispered to Li Xiaoyao, "Do you think every thief is like your father, the Southern Bandit, who robs the rich and helps the poor, seeing injustice everywhere? They are just a bunch of rats."

After saying that, Lin Shen knocked the maid unconscious.

Lin Yueru asked, "Anos, what are your plans now?"

"Let's go back first." So Lin Shen used the Yuexing technique to leave Longtan.
