After leaving Mrs. Zhang's house, the two went to a community again and carefully verified the situation at Mrs. Zhang's house. All aspects were true.

Li Mu said: "The situation is true, let's go to the welfare home and have a look."

Xia Jie nodded: "Yes!"

More than 20 minutes later, the two drove to the orphanage. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw a woman coming out with a baby in her arms. A nurse was sending her away: "On the seventh of every month, we will visit your home.

Every three months, you send her back for a physical check-up."

"In addition, if anything happens, you can contact us at any time. Guoguo, did you leave with your mother? Come, let Auntie hug you again."

The nurse in charge hugged the child again and handed the child back to the woman. The woman hugged the child and left with satisfaction.

The caregiver was about to go back when Li Mu stopped her: "Hello. Could you please tell me..."

The nurse said: "Oh, we found a surrogate mother for the child."

Xia Jie's eyes lit up and she said, "What do you mean? Are you raising a child on your behalf?"

The nurse looked at them and said, "You couple want to adopt a child. Your conditions are good. You don't need to adopt a child through foster care. You can adopt him directly."

Xia Jie blushed: "It's not... us..."

Li Mu said: "Thank you, but no, if we both want children, we can just have them ourselves..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in his waist and was pinched by Xia Jie next to him.

Her cheeks were red and she whispered: "What are you talking about! Who is your child?"

Li Mu smiled, pretended not to hear, and continued to talk to the nursing staff: "We are the police. We are not asking questions for ourselves, but for others."

The nurse said: "In this way, agency care means that our welfare home signs a contract with the agency family and gives the child to them to raise the child. Both parties have agreed on the conditions for the child's agency care. We pay a certain amount of agency care every month.

fee……"

Xia Jie's eyes lit up before she finished listening. Isn't the situation in Mrs. Zhang's house just right?

…

Half an hour later, the two met Director Xu of the welfare home. Director Xu asked Xia Jie: "How much does Mrs. Zhang's subsistence allowance per month cost you?"

Xia Jie thought about the other party's information: "The child's monthly income is 680. She is over 60 years old. Add another 30%. The two of them together will have approximately 1,670 yuan."

Dean Xu did the math and said: "Our alimony is 1,000 a month. Including the subsistence allowance, the grandparent and grandson's monthly income is almost 3,000, which is almost enough for them to live on."

Xia Jie looked happy and said: "That's enough, that's enough. For them, maybe a little happiness will be enough."

In the next two days, with the help of Li Mu and Xia Jie, Baoer successfully entered the orphanage, and Mrs. Zhang also successfully completed the adoption procedures.

Things ended successfully.

In the evening, the two of them found a restaurant to celebrate a little. After dinner, they sent Xia Jie downstairs in their community.

Just as Xia Jie was about to go upstairs, Li Mu walked forward with a smile, put his hands around her soft waist, and kissed her gently on the face: "Good night, see you tomorrow!"

Xia Jie's face turned red and she nodded shyly: "I understand, you can go back and have a rest early."

…

At the morning meeting the next day, Li Mu received another piece of good news. Wang Shouyi said with a smile on his face: "Today, I want to announce some happy news. Comrade Li Mu was not afraid of danger during the medical incident in the Second Hospital and controlled the suspect on the spot without causing any harm."

More harm.”

"The bureau decided after research to award Comrade Li Mu personal third-class merit."

"Congratulations to Comrade Li Mu, everyone applauds."

In an instant, there was a warm round of applause.

Wang Shouyi said a few more words, the morning meeting was over, people gradually dispersed, and he called Li Mu to stop him again.

"Li Suo, I personally want to thank you this time. Dr. Zhuo is an old friend of mine and a very nice person. At that critical moment, if you hadn't taken action in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Li Mu said: "Director, you're welcome, what are our identities as police officers? Isn't it appropriate to do this kind of thing!"

Wang Shouyi said with a look of relief: "Yes, we are the police, this is our duty."

…

The next morning, not long after I got to work, a policeman from the reception room came over and said, "Suo Li, someone reported a crime in Xiao Xin's community. Someone broke into his house at night."

Li Mu said: "There is a thief."

Zhao Jiwei next to him was also a little surprised: "Is it a burglary?"

Li Mu said: "Don't worry about it, come with me."

Zhao Jiwei responded hurriedly.

Xiaoxin's community is a resettlement community. There are many private buildings in the community and many people are setting up stalls on the roadside. It looks very messy.

Li Mu looked at the surrounding environment: "There are not many surveillance systems in the community."

A staff member of the community said: "There are really not many probes in this community. The property management said that the property fee is too low and there is no money to install probes."

Li Mu said: "Without enough probes, it will be difficult to find clues."

Zhao Jiwei responded: "No! Alas, at this time, the higher-ups are carrying out a 100-day no-burglary operation."

According to the police address, the two came to Ms. Sun's house, knocked on the door, and Ms. Sun opened the door.

Li Mu said: "Did your family call the police?"

Ms. Sun nodded: ‘Yes. Where is Brother Zhang? Zhang Zhijie is not here!”

Li Mu said: "Officer Zhang is handling another police situation, and we will be responsible for it."

Ms. Sun said: "Oh, come in quickly."

The two entered the house, and the couple stood in the living room, explaining the situation to Li Mu and Zhao Jiwei.

Ms. Sun said: "When I went to bed last night, I checked the door. It was obviously locked and the windows were closed. I don't know why someone came in."

Li Mu said: "How do you judge who has come in?"

Ms. Sun pointed to a kitchen knife placed on the coffee table: "Look at this. The kitchen knife ran to the coffee table in the living room early in the morning. Someone must have come in and moved it."

Li Mu signaled, Zhao Jiwei put on gloves, took out a plastic bag, and carefully put the kitchen knife into the plastic bag.

"Did you lose something?" Li Mu asked.

Ms. Sun shook her head: "That's what's strange. I checked the house and found nothing missing.

Li Mu looked around inside and outside the house, but found nothing.

Mr. Jia said fearfully: "Comrade police, you have also seen that the doors and windows are all closed. How did he get in? It means he either has the key to my house or knows how to unlock it. It's so scary."

Li Mu checked around again, looking at the kitchen and the door leading to the balcony, but found nothing unusual.

Zhao Jiwei next to him asked doubtfully: "Mr. Jia, your situation is a bit strange! If the kitchen knife came from the kitchen to the coffee table in the living room, it means that the thief entered the kitchen first. But he did not come in from the kitchen. This is a bit

It’s hard to explain.”

"Moreover, if he was going to commit a robbery and was prepared to use a knife if he was discovered, he should have brought a murder weapon in. But he clearly didn't bring a murder weapon. Could it be that after entering the door, he ran to the kitchen to get a knife and put it here?"

Ms. Sun said: "It's possible!"

Li Mu then asked: "According to your understanding, are there any signs of disturbance in the house?"

Mr. Jia said: "No, we checked the house again and found nothing missing. Of course, there is nothing to steal in our house. But when it comes to this kind of thing, I always feel uneasy if I don't understand it."

.That’s why we called the police!”

Li Mu nodded: "You did the right thing. If you find out that someone may have broken into the house, you should call the police first. However, since you have called the police, you should wait for the police to come. Searching by yourself will easily destroy the traces and evidence left at the scene.

"

Mr. Jia was embarrassed: "Ah! We didn't know, we were frightened at the time."

Li Mu nodded and then asked: "Are you at home today?"

Mr. Jia said: "I had some work today, but she was afraid and wouldn't let me go out. Comrade police, you must catch the thief."

Li Mu said: "Don't worry, I will definitely solve the matter for you. In this way, since you are at home, just wait for us for a while. We will go to the property to check the surveillance and ask for clues."

Mr. Jia said: "Okay, okay!"

After going downstairs, the two went directly to the property monitoring room to check the nighttime surveillance. After searching for a long time, they found no relevant clues, so they could only make a copy of the relevant video and go back to the station to study it again.

After leaving the monitoring room, Zhao Jiwei said: "Brother Li, this situation is a bit strange. They only found that the kitchen knife ran from the kitchen to the coffee table in the living room. Nothing was lost at home, and there were no signs of breaking in. And they took all the

Everything has been turned over and all traces have been destroyed. How can we check it?"

"Besides, the surveillance in the community has not found any clues. Brother Li, do you think this is a scam? Maybe the family's memory has gone wrong."

Li Mu said: "Judging from their reactions, it doesn't look like lying. It should be true."

Zhao Jiwei said tangledly: "Brother Li, it has been more than eighty days since there has been no burglary for a hundred days, and there are still about ten days to go before the hundred days are reached. At this time, we will find out something. If we can't find out in ten days, we will

More than eighty days of hard work will be in vain."

"The family has nothing to lose and no clues. They tell us everything. It's hard to say whether it's a case or not. Can we discuss with them and not make a case for now? When the 100-day operation is over, we promise to give them money.

He investigated thoroughly."
