Chapter 19 The Legend of the King of Thieves
It may be the thief who steals the bank vault,
The thief has reappeared.
More than ten years ago, the Municipal Museum held an art exhibition, mainly exhibiting portraits of "One Hundred Singles and Eight Generals of the Water Margin" jointly created by more than a dozen painters from the Provincial Calligraphy and Painting Association. Citizens are not very interested in this, not many visitors, and the museum is deserted.
One day, the museum received a call, and the other party was straightforward and claimed to be a thief, and wanted to borrow the "Shiqian Thieves" in the "Drawings of the Heroes of Liangshan" series.
The museum staff replied: "If you don't borrow it, are you sick?"
The man said on the phone: "Since I don't want to borrow it, I have to go and steal it."
The staff joked: "Okay, when will you come to steal?"
The man said, "In three days."
The museum staff thought it was just a prank, but the director attached great importance to it and strengthened security measures.
A good TV reporter reported the incident. For a while, the city was full of storms and rumbling, and many citizens rushed to the museum and became interested in the portrait of Shi Qian.
Citizen A said: "What is the thief doing this painting?"
Citizen B said: "Shi Qian is the ancestor of the thief."
Citizen C said: "The thieves nowadays are also cultured and have arts."
Citizen Ding said: "Do you think this thief can steal it? I think it's so bad, just brag."
Security guards were everywhere in the exhibition hall, and everyone was equipped with batons. A glass cover was installed on Shi Qian's portrait. Some citizens knocked on the glass and said confidently that the glass must be bulletproof. Two days later, the thief did not appear. People were a little disappointed and felt that the thief would definitely not dare to come.
On the third day, at noon, smoke spread everywhere in the exhibition hall, triggering a fire alarm.
Many visitors fled in panic, covering their noses at the exit, and almost broke into stampede accident. When the crowd was evacuated, the security guard in the exhibition hall found that the painting Shi Qian was missing...
Shouqiang said: "This thief is nothing great either."
Fat Tiger said: "That's right, this skill is not considered a thief."
Big Claw said: "The story is not over yet, listen to me."
The thief took advantage of the chaos to steal the painting. A deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was furious and fell a cup on the spot when he heard about the incident. The deputy director told the TV reporter that he would arrest the thief within one month and return the stolen painting to the museum. The police issued a reward notice to the society, asking the public to provide clues to solve the case.
The next day, someone called the police on the reward notice.
The man said, "Let your deputy director talk to me, and I know who stole the painting."
The deputy director said: "Tell me, who is it?"
The man said, "Don't look for me, I'm that thief. I'll return the painting in a few days."
The deputy director said: "If it was yours, you surrender and you can still seek leniency."
The man said, "I don't want to go to prison, you should let me go."
The deputy director said: "Since ancient times, evil has not suppressed the righteous, and you cannot escape. Sooner or later, you can catch you."
The man said, "This is it, I'll fight you.
bet."
The deputy director said: "What do you want to do?"
The man said, "In three days, I will steal something from you, and you will let me go."
The deputy director said: "What?"
The man said, "The police uniform you are wearing."
The deputy director said angrily: "If you can steal my police uniform, I will resign. The director will stop doing it! If you can't steal it, you will come from the head."
The man said, "Okay, one word is certain!"
There are two versions of the story that have passed down.
1. The director was wet with a sprinkler truck on the street. He took off his police uniform and locked it into the safe in the office to prevent the thief from stealing. Unexpectedly, the thief was so bold that he sneaked into the director's office in the middle of the night, opened the safe, and stole the clothes.
2. The director's house was stolen, and the thief rummaged through the cabinet and stole the old police uniform that the director had worn before. The entire theft process was unaware of it, and the sleeping director's wife and daughter did not disturb the sleeping director's wife and daughter. The security door was not damaged, and there was an anti-theft net installed on the window. People did not understand how the thief burgled.
In short, the thief put the Shi Qian painting back into the museum booth without knowing it. The lock on the glass cover was intact. In addition to the painting, there was also a police uniform. The police uniform contained the police number of the deputy director. The deputy director was shocked, shy and angry, and was furious. He was admitted to the hospital after a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He unfortunately died after half a month of treatment. The police never caught the thief. The legend of the king of thieves began to appear on the streets and alleys of the city. Every citizen added fuel to the fire when telling it. The king of thieves became the legend of the city...
Shou Qiang and Fat Tiger told this story again to Hualong.
Fat Tiger said: "It may be the case that theft of the bank vault is done by this thief. The thief has reappeared."
Shouqiang said: "The whereabouts of this thief are currently unknown, and we plan to investigate further."
Hualong said: "Those who dare to steal the bank vault are definitely not ordinary people. Those who thieves don't have the courage or ability. Whether this thief did it or not, you can find him for me."
Shouqiang said: "We are not even a supporting police officer now. It is not right to go out to handle the case."
Fat Tiger said: "Yes, I want to give us an identity."
Hualong said, "I really can't do anything to you two. OK, I will accept you two as my disciples and hire you as my assistants."
Shou Qiang and Fat Tiger were ecstatic, called out to the master, fell to the ground with a plop, and kowtowed three times in a row.
At the apprenticeship ceremony, Hualong invited leaders of the local martial arts association, as well as several respected boxers, such as the successor of Baguazhang, the master of Tai Chi in the Northern School, and the head of the Five Elements Fist of Hunyuan. Shouqiang and Fat Tiger officially submitted a post to apprenticeship, first gave a ceremony, then offered tea, Hualong sat upright in a chair, and explained the rules of this sect and the preacher's instructions.
Hualong said: "At the beginning, the teacher taught me this way: Hualong, why do you learn martial arts? I said, I want to beat the bad guys. The master laughed and said yes. Then he splashed ink and wrote 16 words to me: Help the poor and help the poor, punish evil and promote good, act bravely, and defend the country. You must also remember these sixteen words. What is the purpose of learning martial arts? When facing bad guys, everyone else can escape, but we must go forward."
Shouqiang and Fat Tiger listen respectfully, again
kowtow.
After the ceremony, the incense table was removed and the banquet was placed. Secretary Zhao raised his glass to celebrate the dragon's acceptance of the high disciples. Several famous boxers also toasted one after another. After the three tours, everyone was a little drunk. Secretary Zhao asked whether traditional martial arts were practical, and those who learned martial arts were inevitably competitive. Several boxers began to brag about how good their skills were.
The Master of Tai Chi in the Northern School said: "Chinese martial arts are profound and profound. Tai Chi uses softness to overcome hardness, and a four-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two
Fat Tiger said bluntly: "I think Tai Chi is a fantasy and a radio gymnastics in the park."
Shouqiang also echoed: "Tai Chi is so powerful, why are there no Tai Chi masters participating in international competitions? We Chinese have never won awards such as k1 and mma. We should face the backwardness of Chinese Kung Fu. It is really not as powerful as in movies."
The Master of Tai Chi in the Northern School said: "Tai Chi emphasizes self-cultivation and is unwilling to compete for fame and fortune. Even the people have masters. Experts generally do not take action easily. If they take action, they will hurt others, and if they are severe, they will die."
Shouqiang said: "I believe in physics and science more, and believe in power and speed."
Fat Tiger said: "A 4 tael is a big pound. If you try it, I will be less than 200 pounds."
The Master of Tai Chi in the Northern School said: "Okay, come and push me!"
The two left the field and walked to the open space and set out. The Tai Chi Master stood on the lunge and let the Fat Tiger put his palms on his stomach. He placed his hands on Fat Tiger's elbow. The scene was full of gunpowder. The Tai Chi Master shouted to start. Fat Tiger tried his best to push, but the Tai Chi Master did not take a step back. After a stalemate, the Tai Chi Master dodged and threw him out with the power of Fat Tiger.
The Tai Chi master clasped his fists, smiled slightly, and said, "Take the way."
Shouqiang felt very strange. He knew that his younger brother was very strong, but he couldn't push the man.
Hualong was knowledgeable and whispered to Shouqiang: "Go and push him, don't let him touch your elbow."
Shouqiang immediately realized that when he went on the competition, the Tai Chi master still stood on the lunge. Before he could ask Shouqiang to pose, Shouqiang only used one hand to exert force from the side and pushed it hard towards the shoulder of the Tai Chi master. The Tai Chi master's center of gravity was unstable, so he staggered and fell down his butt. This posture was very indecent, and the Tai Chi master's face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say.
This is just a trick to be a scammer.
Although Fat Tiger was very powerful, he was controlled by the Tai Chi Master and could not exert force, so he could not push him.
The Tai Chi master left awkwardly. The successor of Baguazhang and the head of Hunyuan Five Elements Fist saw that the situation was not good, so he also stood up to say goodbye, worried that the two apprentices who had just taken Hualong to learn about martial arts.
Secretary Zhao thought to himself that since the Hualong came, the bureau was in chaos and uneasy. This guy first organized a group of policemen to fight each other, and called it the first free fighting competition. It was simply nonsense. Two temporary assistant policemen became precious apprentices... After so much trouble, the case still made no progress.
Secretary Zhao said: "Police Hualong now has two great disciples to help, which is like a tiger with wings. The case of the stolen vault is just around the corner."
Hualong said: "You promised me three things. This vault was stolen and was covered by me."
