Chapter 10 ok come in anytime

Inside the place where the fire pump was placed, it was pitch black.Kasper stood to the right of the door, Zobel to the left.Both held pokers as weapons in their hands. "Will Huo Zhenbo really come?" Zoebel asked. This is already the one hundred and fifty-seventh time. Kasper replied, "Of course! Do you think that guy will let go of the hidden treasure?" Zobel rejoiced secretly: "It's a pity, it's so dark in there! I really want to see how stupid that guy is when we hit him on the head with a poker..." "Hush!" Caspar stopped Zobel's nagging in a fierce tone, "Someone is coming outside!"

Ninger listened, someone was riding a bicycle through the square and stopped by the wall where the water pump was placed. "Huo Zhenbo - riding a bicycle?" "It must have been stolen," Kasper whispered. At this time, there was a knock on the door. "Are you two still in there?" He asked in a low voice.  Kasper and Zobel remained motionless without making a sound. They were not easily fooled by Huo Zhenbo and immediately exposed their foolishness. "Why is no one talking? It's me, it's Ding Beimo. Wait a minute, I'll go in now..." "Okay, come on!" thought Caspar, "this guy doesn't seem to know that Mr. Ding Beimo, Minister of Police, has been in bed at my house since yesterday noon!"

There was the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole and turned twice. Kasper and Zobel raised their pokers, holding their breath. The door was opened carefully, and someone's head stuck in all of a sudden. Under the moonlight, the two thought it must be Huo Zhenbo.For as they had expected, he was wearing the uniform and helmet of the Minister of Police, Mr Ding Bemore. "Okay, come in anytime!" Kaspar hit the helmet of "Huo Zhenbo" with a poker, and then Zobel continued to hit. "That counts as catching him—what's the next step?" "Undress him. Also, drag the hose here!"

The arrested person was lying on the ground, motionless. Kasper, assisted by Zobel, took off the man's uniform; then, of course, shoes and socks; , put an empty bucket on him. "Give him the same taste that Mr Ding Bemore, Minister of Police, has tasted!" Casper explained. So Zobel also said: "Exactly!" The door where the fire pump was kept was open, and the moonlight streamed in on them. Kaspar and Zobel, dragging the captive to the tight inner corner, between the wall and the fire truck, exactly where Mr. Dimbermore had been lying before. "This guy, I can't run away by myself," Kaspar said. "Now, I'll take what this guy stole and run home first. You stay here and watch."

"Okay." Zoebel said, "To prevent accidents, I have prepared a poker. If Huo Zhenbo wants to escape..." Speaking of this, Zobel couldn't help interrupting, because someone didn't know who had closed the door where the water pump was placed from behind. Both of them stood in the darkness again.In the keyhole, there was the sound of turning the key, again and again. "Hey, hello!" Kasper called, "what's going on? Someone's in here!" Kaspar knocked on the door with his fist and kicked it with his foot. "Please open! Please open!"

There was no answer, but violent laughter came from the latticed window. The two were stunned.They saw the helmeted head at the window, emerging clearly through the bright night sky.Another Huo Zhenbo! "Hey! Are these two empty bottle messengers?" Kaspar and Zobel seemed to be having a nightmare.Isn't the one at the window Huo Zhenbo?But this guy was tied up with a fire hose just now... "How about it, you didn't expect it to look like this?" This is indeed Huo Zhenbo!It was the unmistakable Huo Zhenbo's voice! "If you want to lie to me, you must do it without any loopholes! I am different from stupid guys. I am a learned thief, but you are born fools. Hee, hee, hee, hee hee !"

Kasper and Zobel were overwhelmed. "But, I, we, you..." Zobel stammered, "I, we, just, just used a poker, hit, hit you... then, then..." "Then, tie it up with a hose!" "Tie me up?" Huo Zhenbo babbled, "How could that happen! Listen, remember, I'm not someone who can get you tangled up with a hose! You're doing wonderful things on your own beds right now. The dream of my dream, which is more appropriate—for me, the dream of the treasure buried where the water pump was placed—or, the dream of Kasper's grandmother..." "Please don't involve grandma!" Caspar shouted angrily.

"Nothing involved!" said the big thief Huo Zhenbo, "I have a lot of plans for your grandma. Now is the official start of attacking your grandma, hee, hee, hee, hee hee!"
