“This is the revealing powder that I specially developed. It can restore the traces of the crime scene to the greatest extent.”
As Ah Can explained, he laid on the empty space in front of the safe and blew at the white powder.
The white powder immediately dispersed and fell to the ground.
After a while, they saw a messy set of footprints in front of the safe.
The higher-ups of the Liu family looked at each other, confused.
Even if his exclusive revealing powder could restore those footprints, what use would it be?
Not to mention the footprints from before, in the two days since the fist manual was lost, countless people had stood on that open space.
Trying to find the thief’s footprints among so many footprints was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
Even Ye Feng could not understand what this guy wanted to do.
After all, there was a huge gap between the two professions. For him to become the King of Thieves in Gambling City, he naturally had a unique secret technique that others could not understand.
Ah Can didn’t care about what the others thought. Instead, he lay on the ground and studied the messy footprints as if he were solving a math problem.
When he encountered a more difficult problem, he took out a miniature magnifying glass from his pocket and looked at the traces.
Half an hour passed.
This guy continued to study.
However, the others were already impatient.
“Third Brother, are we being played like monkeys?” Liu Wentian had appeared out of nowhere and questioned him angrily.
Although the others weren’t as reckless as him, they all looked irritated.
“Shut up.” Liu Wenlong turned around and glared at Eighth Liu.
“I’m telling the truth. This guy has been lying there for more than half an hour and we can’t see anything. Isn’t he playing with us?” Liu Wentian retorted angrily.
This time, Liu Wenlong didn’t scold him.
To be honest, he was already a little impatient.
The clan’s treasure was still in the hands of the Three Phoenix Society, yet they were wasting their time here.
If not for the fact that Ye Feng had introduced Ah Can, he would have scolded him.
“Xiao Feng, why don’t we forget about it? We’ll think of another way.” He pondered for a moment before turning to look at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng frowned and was about to speak.
At this moment, Ah Can, who had been lying on the ground like a lunatic, suddenly said, “He’s about 165 centimeters tall and weighs about 46 kilograms. He’s a cripple…”
When everyone heard his words, they were somewhat bewildered.
“What did you say?” Liu Wenlong hurriedly took a step forward.
“I’m talking about the person you’re looking for. If you look for him according to these signs, you’ll definitely be right.” Ah Can got up from the ground and dusted his hands.
Liu Wenlong glanced at the messy footprints on the ground and then looked at Ah Can in shock. “How do you know?”
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Ah Can, but this scene was a little surreal.
To be able to find the real thief from the messy footprints and even determine the height, weight, and characteristics of the thief was illogical!
Not only him, everyone including Ye Feng could not understand this.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Ah Can.
This greatly satisfied Ah Can’s vanity.
“Hehe, what do I do? If even you can understand, then wouldn’t I be unworthy of my reputation as the King of Thieves?”
“If you don’t tell us how you judged it, how do we know if you’re talking nonsense?” Liu Wentian stared at him with his bell-like eyes and questioned.
“Anyway, my mission is completed. You can believe it or not.” Ah Can chuckled and did not take him seriously at all.
“Xiao Feng, look…”
Liu Wenlong had no choice but to ask Ye Feng for help.
“Don’t keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me.”
Ye Feng glared at Ah Can. If this guy was not beat up, his tail would be raised to the sky.
Ah Can shrunk his neck and could only explain to everyone, “It’s actually very simple. Find the thief’s footprints from those footprints. Then, based on the size and depth of the footprints, you can determine the height and weight. It’s that simple.”
After everyone heard this, their faces twitched a few times. This was simply better than listening to a single word from a monarch.
He said it, but it seemed like he didn’t.
“But how did you find the thief’s footprints among so many?”?Liu Wenlong asked.
Although there was a pile of footprints on the ground with the help of the revealing powder, it was still an inconceivable thing to find out which one was the thief’s footprint.
“Usually, people in our line of work will walk very lightly, and the footprints they leave behind will be lighter. Moreover, most of the members of the thief sect walk with their forepaws, so the footprints they leave behind are naturally different from those of ordinary people.” Ah Can explained again, but he was already a little impatient.
“Then how did you determine height and weight from footprints?” Liu Wentian also asked.
Ah Can looked at him in displeasure and asked in a bad mood, “Do you want me to give you a few lessons to explain the methods and principles of the thief sect? I already told you the answer, why are you asking so many irrelevant questions?”
“You…”
Liu Wentian wanted to retort, but he was stopped by Liu Wenlong. “I think Mr. Can is right. Our top priority now is to find this thief as soon as possible.”
Liu Wenyuan, who had been silent all this while, walked out. “But Jiangzuo is so big. It’s not easy to find a cripple thief.”
Liu Wenlong nodded solemnly. “Yes, but no matter what, it’s better to have some clues than nothing. No matter what price we have to pay, we have to take back the treasure of our clan.”
After saying that, he began to assign tasks to the Liu family members.
All the Liu clansmen immediately put down what they were doing and went to find out more about this cripple thief.
The Liu family was a large family. Including the distant relatives, there were no less than a thousand people.
Moreover, among these people, there was no lack of people who had a wide network. The connections they could leverage were very terrifying.
Even so, it was not easy to find someone in the vast Jiangzuo.
The clansmen had been released for three to four hours, but there was no news at all.
Liu Wenlong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the meeting hall.
Even the higher-ups of the Liu family were worried.
Xu Jingxin’s gaze slowly swept across everyone. Her expression changed slightly. She suddenly whispered into Ye Feng’s ear: “Oh right, isn’t your disciple very popular in Jiangzuo? Can you call him and ask him to help you look for it?”
“Yeah, I almost forgot.” Ye Feng was too busy thinking about that thief. He had forgotten that he had a precious disciple.
He immediately took out his phone and called Feng Shaokun.
After Feng Shaokun heard that, he said, “Master, give me half an hour.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Ye Feng did not know where this guy got his confidence from. He dared to make such a promise. He was probably bragging.
