Chapter 113 There is a problem at the scrap station
Liang Zhenguo returned to the door, followed the footprints, and found that after the thief pried open the door of the house, he went straight towards the kitchen.
Liang Zhenguo was slightly startled by this discovery and asked Su Shu, "What is missing in the kitchen?"
"All the food is gone!" Su Shu spread his hands, "The remaining half bag of apples, the bread and biscuits I baked the day before yesterday are gone, and the snacks I made are not left for us at all. There is a strip of pork belly in the cupboard.
It’s gone too, by the way, there are also a few new plates I bought last night.”
To say it's not worth it, food is really expensive these days.
But in terms of value, it is indeed not the most valuable thing in the house.
This thief broke into the door, but didn't even enter the room. He went straight to the kitchen, which was very strange.
"It must be that Mr. Su's house prepares delicious food every day, so the kitchen is on the radar of thieves." Someone among the spectators said angrily, "Why don't the thieves steal from Mr. Su's house instead of stealing from everyone else's house?"
The main reason is that your house is too conspicuous, so when people come in, they go to the kitchen to steal things."
"What you are saying is really weird. My family spends money to make food, and neither steals nor robs, but it is wrong? What? Blame me? Don't blame the thief? My home was robbed, and it was me who was wrong, not the thief?
"Su Shu yelled back on the spot.
"If a thief is really trying to steal food from my house, it's probably because there's a thief in our Xiaohe Street. It's really fun for you to gloat about your misfortune. Maybe they'll steal from your house tomorrow. Then you'll know whether you're to blame or not.
Already."
When Su Shu cooks food, no matter how much the fragrance spreads, only people in Xiaohe Street can smell it. Only people in Xiaohe Street know that she cooked delicious food the day before yesterday and yesterday, and entertained important guests at home yesterday.
When everyone heard what Su Shu said, they were surprised that what she said made sense.
"If we really stole food, then there must be a thief in our Xiaohe Street." Aunt Wang nodded.
In the minds of many people watching these things, as long as they don't steal into their homes, they can treat them as just watching.
But when they think about it, if it is stolen into their house tomorrow, they will not be able to stand the excitement.
“You must report it to the police!” someone yelled angrily, “It’s outrageous to climb over the wall, break open the door, and steal in broad daylight!”
"Okay, everyone, please disperse. Be careful and don't step on my vegetable patch again." Liang Zhenguo held his forehead and shook his head, "We have to sow seeds again."
When Aunt Wang heard this, she asked with concern, "Are the watermelon seedlings okay? If they are trampled and destroyed again, your three children will be so angry that they will cry."
"The melon seedlings are fine, but the vegetable seedlings have suffered again." Liang Zhenguo smiled bitterly.
Aunt Wang nodded, and then asked the neighbors to leave, so as not to upset the Liang family and his wife by talking here and there.
After everyone dispersed, Liang Zhenguo locked the courtyard door.
He returned to the place where the thief had tumbled in and out, followed the footprints, and climbed up again and again.
Su Shu looked in awe and said, "Liang Zhenguo, you can do it. Your skills are very suitable for being a snitch."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was trained in the army." Liang Zhenguo nodded at Su Shu's, "Can't you expect something good? Just expect me to be a snitch?"
He jumped down neatly, clapped his hands, and said, "I saw that the thief's footprints also climbed up in twos and threes, so I tried following the thief's footprints."
Liang Zhenguo said, "The thief must be much shorter than me. His steps are shorter than mine. He must be a young man, otherwise it would be difficult for him to be so agile, unless he is a well-trained veteran like me.
He was discharged from the army not long ago.”
"That's not necessarily true. People who practice sports may also have such skills." Su Shu said, "I just don't understand. Even if you steal, why can't you enter our bedroom? Is it possible that thieves also have a moral bottom line?"
What's even weirder, and what Su Shu doesn't understand even more, is, "Forget about stealing food, what's the point of stealing a few plates?"
Su Shu complained casually, "You don't think those plates are valuable, do you? Are they stolen as antiques? Not to mention, one of the stolen plates has a pattern of blue and white porcelain. I just saw it at a glance and it looks pretty."
Speaking of this, Su Shu raised her eyebrows and said to Liang Zhenguo, "By the way, let me tell you secretly, some of the plates I bought last night may be real antiques, with Qianlong, Hongguang and so on printed on the bottom, but
I’m not sure if it’s real, maybe it’s a fake, but if it’s real, I got a big deal last night.”
Liang Zhenguo's eyes changed, and he suddenly became sharp and asked quickly, "How many plates were stolen? Have all the items bought last night been stolen?"
"Everything I washed and prepared for use was stolen. I hid everything I didn't use yet. I was afraid that the children would dig it out and play with it and it would be broken. I hid it in a corner and it was not taken away." Su Shu said.
She treated them as possible antiques and hid them all in the villa.
"Then you must put it away." Liang Zhenguo nodded, and then said, "You go back to work, and I will go find Xiao Li. I think you are right. I have to check how many people on the farm studied physical education.
"
Su Shu saw Liang Zhenguo's look and knew that this matter might not be as simple as she thought.
But Liang Zhenguo hadn't investigated yet, so she didn't bother to ask more questions at the moment. She told him to remember to fix the door lock of the house, then turned around and went back to work.
The door lock was broken open by force, so it couldn't be repaired and had to be replaced with a new one.
Liang Zhenguo thought to himself that his door and lock, including the vegetable patch, would really suffer in Ansheng within a few days.
After locking the courtyard door, Liang Zhenguo first bought a new lock, and then took the lock to the police station. Ten minutes later, Xiao Li returned to Xiaohe Street with a colleague and Liang Zhenguo.
Liang Zhenguo went to change the locks, while Xiao Li and his colleagues searched for useful information outside the house and near the vegetable patch.
Comrade Xiao Li walked around the house and outside, but didn't find any useful information. It was noon again, so he left work first.
Xiao Li stayed at Liang's house and waited until his colleagues left before closing the door of Liang's house and talking to Liang Zhenguo alone.
"Do you have anyone to suspect?" Xiao Li asked, "There are not many physical education students in the county. I will check the files in recent years in the afternoon. The results should be available soon."
"Yeah." Liang Zhengguo thought of last night and this morning and told Xiao Li again.
"My wife took a fancy to those plates last night. Wang Dagang's youngest son, Wang Jiancai, who now works at the scrapyard, first lied to my wife and said that someone wanted those plates. Later, she met the familiar woman.
Comrade, she came forward and said that no one had ordered the plate and there was no such order, so she gave my wife the order."
"I met Wang Jiancai on the way to work this morning. Wang Jiancai also said that he wanted to buy some plates from my wife. He said that I would pay 20 cents more for each plate, but my wife did not agree."
"Then my house was robbed in the morning. After the thief came in, he went straight to the kitchen."
Liang Zhenguo had doubts about Wang Jiancai at first, but he felt that Wang Jiancai was not so agile.
"Maybe Wang Jiancai knows someone." Xiao Li pondered for a moment, "There is something wrong with the scrap station."
"It's not that there is a problem with the scrap station. If there is a problem with the scrap station and my wife can't bring back those plates, it should be a problem with some comrades at the scrap station." Liang Zhenguo shook his head, "It's a pity. The clues we have now
Too little. If it hadn’t been for the thief today, I wouldn’t have even thought of going to the scrapyard.”
Even if he thinks about it now, he's still not sure if he's thinking in the right direction.
It could also be a coincidence, or maybe he just met such a weird thief.
