What kind of divination am I doing?

The detective set up a ladder and climbed up.

Take the probe of the device from above the rolling door of the jewelry store and insert it into the gap.

Adjusting the equipment, the agent clearly saw the situation inside and shouted, "I see it! I'm sure there are no bandits in the hall! There are only four hostages in the hall!"

"I checked. Fifty minutes ago, there were only four hostages tied up in the hall. The bandits went behind the screen."

"Never mind, let's attack!"

Lu Qiao glanced at the situation below the moment the black cat jumped.

In addition to the detectives, a seven-person team fully armed with sophisticated instruments was added.

This was clearly a special forces unit, positioned on both sides of the rolling door. After receiving the information, they began to break down the door and enter.

Lu Qiao was led to the other side of the road by the black cat. At this time, Lu Qiao kept looking at the special forces in the direction of the gold shop.

Peng Peng~!

Two team members wielding huge hammers slammed directly into the rolling door.

Two dents immediately appeared on the roller door, and a gap appeared at the bottom.

Hiss hiss hiss~!

Between the deployment of smoke grenades, the entire jewelry store was filled with smoke.

The special forces made their move, and they knew there were no bandits in the hall.

"Hey you guys, come and lend a hand!" the special forces squad leader shouted to the agents behind him.

The agents behind them understood and helped to hold up the roller shutter door.

The seven-man team moved with lightning speed and stormed into the jewelry store.

With the help of smoke grenades and night vision goggles, the three men, armed with guns and three red dots, scanned back and forth inside the jewelry store.

The other four found the hostage almost immediately:

"You're safe! Come with us!"

The four hostages were successfully rescued and brought out of the jewelry store, amidst cheers and thunderous applause.

When the smoke cleared, the jewelry store was empty except for three special forces personnel with guns.

The seven-person team regrouped and advanced under tactical command.

After passing the screen, we entered the corridor;

Check the back door and enter the toilet.

As soon as I entered the restroom, I aimed the red dot of my rifle at the glass.

The scene they witnessed made even these highly mentally strong special forces members feel a little apprehensive.

The two people in the front row took two steps back in fear.

He only calmed down when his companions pressed down on his back.

At this moment, with the smoke having just dissipated, the scene before us was extremely eerie.

Throughout the restroom, the mirrors in front of the three symmetrical stalls were decorated with runes drawn in red blood.

The image on the old celestial master's yellow talisman was now copied one-to-one onto the mirror.

The mirror reflected the smoke and the figures of special forces members, giving the entire toilet an eerie feel.

The special forces soldiers mustered their courage and stepped forward, opening each toilet stall.

He then stepped on the problematic tile, looked at the glass in front of him, and touched it to search for it.

Their eyes soon fell on the clothes in the sink. Squad leader Dandy picked up the clothes and looked at the cut surface.

The neat cut marks startled the squad leader, who then tried to press the corner of his shirt against the glass.

This action caused everyone to tremble involuntarily.

"Dandy, what is this?"

"Terrifying, it sounds like Eastern magic?"

"Do you think it's possible that they took the gold and escaped by crawling into the mirror?"

"Believe in science, don't say things like that!"

"What should we do then?"

"Let's go look around elsewhere and have them find some experts to take a look!"

The special forces were in the restroom, staring at the eerie glass, completely unaware that the problem lay in the very place beneath their feet.

After examining the mirrors and individual cubicles in the restrooms and finding no way to hide anyone, the special forces began searching the first and second floors.

Although their minds were focused on putting aside the idea that the bandits had taken the gold and entered the mirror, they were investigating whether there were any other hiding places or secret doors.

But everyone felt somewhat uncomfortable; the fact that the hairs on their bodies stood on end was proof of that.

"Dandy, there's a secret door here! And the window is open!"

An armed man struggled to crawl into the tool shed. When he opened the window, he saw a huge air conditioner unit in front of him, and to his right was the sign of a gold shop.

The agents below saw the armed men stick their heads out and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's alright!" The armed man looked down; this was above the main entrance of the gold shop.

The bandits couldn't escape from here, because they would be seen if they opened the window.

The armed men searched the entire jewelry store, but where had the bandits gone?

They thought they hadn't missed a single place, but the bandits vanished!

Five minutes later, the special forces returned disappointed, naturally recounting everything they had seen to the agents.

Dandy held up a corner of the clothes and even voiced the strange speculation about it disappearing into the mirror, but it was clearly a whispered discussion.

The general public must not know, and reporters must not know either.

The detectives intervened and began investigating one by one, going to the restroom immediately.

After seeing the mirror, he sensed something was wrong and started calling for experts to come and take a look via walkie-talkie.

The news of the bandits' disappearance spread almost immediately.

Zhao Chengpeng and Liu Bo, who were watching the scene from across the street, were a little confused, as two or three groups of people had gone in and out.

The bandits were not brought out alive, nor were they carried out dead.

The two panicked, realizing that none of their guesses were correct. So what exactly happened?

Seeing that this was not a good situation, Zhao Chengpeng and Liu Bo crossed the road and went to ask what had happened.

The bystander closest to the scene recounted what happened:

"The robbers and the gold are gone. There are only four hostages in the gold shop. Their eyes and ears are covered, and they don't know what happened."

"What? You mean the bandits have disappeared!" Liu Bo was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.

The onlookers nodded in agreement: "Look at those police over there, they're constantly studying the surveillance footage, complaining that it only shows the first half. They can't see what the thugs are doing in the second half after they've tied someone up. I'm wondering if they can fly or go underground!"

"Sorry I'm late! I'm the owner of the jewelry store!" Mr. Shen arrived late, panting.

Upon seeing the boss arrive, the detective didn't mince words and began asking, "Why is your surveillance footage only half-finished?"

Boss Shen, a fat man with big ears, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief: "They're all relatives doing the work. We only guard against guests, not family members."

The detective asked again, "Do you have the building plans for this jewelry store? Are you aware of any hidden compartments or tunnels?"

"I have the map on my phone, I'll send it to you! There are no hidden compartments or tunnels! There's just a front door and a back door, and a fire escape in the back!" Boss Shen shook his head nervously.

"Mr. Shen is Chinese, right? Could you come with us to look at something?" the detective asked.

"What is it?" Boss Shen asked, puzzled.

The gold shop was cordoned off at the time. Mr. Shen followed three or five people into the gold shop and headed to the restroom in the staff passage.

Zhao Chengpeng and Liu Bo exchanged a glance, both wanting to know what had happened.

What they were then greeted by Old Shen's scream!

Old Shen's reaction was completely natural; he was genuinely startled. He wasn't faking it; people are naturally quite superstitious.

Who would have thought that this group of people would leave such a thing to divert attention? Old Shen was quite frightened when he first saw it in the dimly lit toilet.

At this point, all Old Shen could do was start spouting nonsense to the detectives, talking about Maoshan Taoist magic, the dangers, and how if they got sucked into the mirror, they wouldn't be able to come back without magic.

Old Shen also resisted moving forward, and all his actions revealed his fear.

Even after the initial shock subsided, Old Shen, regaining his composure, instructed the detective not to spread the word, as his jewelry store still needed to operate, and rumors of ghosts would ruin the business.

A moment later, Old Shen was brought out to give a statement, naturally to find out if he had offended anyone recently.

Liu Bo and Zhao Chengpeng came over, naturally not believing what the onlookers were saying.

Old Shen is right in front of you, just ask him.

Zhao Chengpeng didn't step forward to hide behind the crowd, but Liu Bo strode forward and patted Lao Shen's arm: "Lao Shen, your jewelry store has been robbed! We saw the robbers inside, where are they?"

Old Shen said helplessly, "They escaped! We don't know what method they used; we're still investigating!"

The detective, who did not understand Chinese, immediately spoke in English to warn the officer not to speak in Chinese or reveal any information.

Liu Bo naturally withdrew from the crowd and looked at Zhao Chengpeng: "Do you remember what time we made the bet?"

"I saw it, just an hour ago!" Zhao Chengpeng took out his phone and glanced at it.

Liu Bo excitedly exclaimed, "Let's go find that road and bridge!"

……

Inside the castle, in the divination room.

"Put on your clothes!" The black cat shoved Lu Qiao's clothes over his rat head with its paw.

When Lu Qiao struggled to lift his clothes, he found that he had turned back into human form.

When Luqiao turned back into a human, he quickly put on his clothes, which he was still holding.

The black cat repeatedly squeezed its belly with its hind legs, spitting out the key, then picked it up and left the scene.

Black Cat went to the Outland Tavern to arrange some matters, while Lu Qiao walked out of the divination room and began to pretend to wipe the goods on the shelves with a rag.

Then they heard someone hurrying towards the gate, and from a distance they could see Zhao Chengpeng and Liu Bo.

Lu Qiao pretended to clean, then glanced at the handwritten note on the sign: Fortune telling $20.

Lu Qiao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly groped around to find a piece of chalk on the edge, then abruptly added a zero after the number twenty.

The two entered and saw the road and bridge being cleaned.

"Brother, you're amazing! How did you know?" Liu Bo asked excitedly.

"The special forces went in, and apart from the four hostages, the entire jewelry store was empty. We just don't know where everyone went," Zhao Chengpeng recounted what happened.

Liu Bo asked, "Do you know the truth?"

At this moment, Lu Qiao, feigning an air of superiority, stood tall and slightly tilted his head: "Gentlemen, does what we said before still stand?"

"Of course it counts, but Lu Qiao, no, I should say Master Lu, how amazing is your style?" Liu Bo looked at Lu Qiao with flattery.

"I keep my word!" Zhao Chengpeng didn't go back on his word.

"Alright, you two have been very understanding before, so I can't leave you without paying. If you come here for fortune telling in the future... I mean divination, it'll be 50% off." Lu Qiao smiled and pointed to the prices on the board.

The sign in front of me had been altered by Lu Qiao and now read: Fortune telling $200.

The last zero is crooked and looks like it was forced in.

Zhao Chengpeng and Liu Bo exchanged a glance; how could they not understand what was going on?

Zhao Chengpeng and Liu Bo initially thought Luqiao was quite capable, but after seeing this price change, they both felt that Luqiao had just gotten lucky.

But they certainly couldn't say that openly, so they both laughed and started making excuses:

"If I encounter any trouble in the future, I'll definitely consult you."

Me too.

Looking at the expressions on the two people's faces, Lu Qiao realized that he hadn't done a good job!

Following the two people's gaze to the price board for divination, they immediately noticed that their own entry had a clearly different zero.

But given the current situation, Lu Qiao smiled awkwardly, thinking that he would definitely make changes after the two people left.

After all, Black Cat has this level of fortune-telling ability. Twenty dollars for a fortune telling? This isn't fortune-telling! It's practically charity!

Two hundred is because there's no room for one more; for Luqiao, two thousand is a psychological threshold.

Of course, Lu Qiao immediately realized that he had important business to attend to.

After laughing, Lu Qiao adjusted his expression and said, "By the way, gentlemen, I'm not in a hurry to fulfill my bet. I have something else I'd like to ask."

"Ask us anything, we'll answer everything we know!" Liu Bo said with a smile.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that I did some divination... What kind of divination did I do? To be honest, when I was doing my fortune telling, you guys mentioned Boss Shen's gold shop, so I did a fortune telling for Boss Shen!" Lu Qiao made up an excuse.

"What have you figured out?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense, bro!"

Both of them were very anxious and wanted to know what Lu Qiao wanted to say.

"I foresaw that this Boss Shen was going to suffer a major disaster!" Lu Qiao made up an excuse.

"No way! What other major disaster could there be? You mean a jewelry store robbery isn't a major disaster?" Liu Bo said incredulously.

Zhao Chengpeng pondered for a moment and said, "No, if the jewelry store has insurance, being robbed isn't a big deal!"

Lu Qiao nodded: "I wasn't talking about the jewelry store, of course; what's coming next will be even worse!"

"Wait, you didn't say that because you heard us say he's a gambling addict, did you?" Liu Bo realized.

Zhao Chengpeng raised a point of doubt again: "No way, the jewelry store was robbed, the compensation would be enough for him to pay off his debts and buy new gold!"

The two exchanged a glance and realized that Lu Qiao had indeed made a prediction that the area was empty for an hour. Could it be that he was going to be right again this time?

The two of them dared not gamble on the bridge in front of them anymore. They had already lost their composure, and the bridge was too strange, so they didn't want to lose again!

Liu Bo spoke up: "Brother, did you predict that this Boss Shen would face such a major disaster with you within the next few days?"

Zhao Chengpeng chimed in, "Yeah, before it was an hour, and it was an hour. What about this time?"

Lu Qiao held up three fingers: "Are you still planning to bet with me? I predict a maximum of three days!"

The two exchanged a glance, both understanding the situation, and began to shake their heads.

A bet? No way!

Luqiao previously said it was just a guess and could still be played, but now that he's clearly calculated it, what's the point of playing anymore!

Seeing that the two were not willing to gamble, Lu Qiao smiled and began to persuade them.
