Chapter 9 The Theft Case One
Li Miao arrived at his residence with a trace of regret. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the landlady talking to a black-robed Taoist priest in the yard. Li Miao's first reaction was that this guy was definitely a liar, but the landlady was also extremely superstitious.
People have no doubts about ghosts and gods.【】
It turns out that this black-robed Taoist priest was invited by the landlady from all the way away. Why on earth did she invite this guy? It was because her right eyelid kept twitching wildly for several days in a row.
At the same time, the clothes in the courtyard were always missing, and what was lost was just some women's underwear. The aunt didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that someone else had collected the wrong clothes, but the clothes kept missing one after another, so she let
She was very confused.
It made several residents of the opposite sex panic. From then on, the landlord paid attention every day. As long as the door was opened, the aunt would be the first to secretly see who it was. But every time, it was just residents who came home late, not some thieves.
Clothes thief.
As for the big yellow dog, even though it barks happily during the day, it is as dead as night. Unless it sees a stranger, it will still bark twice. If it is an acquaintance, the big yellow dog will bark honestly, just like Li Miao.
When I first arrived, I was almost scared to death by this dog. On the second day, this dog was obediently walking around Li Miao. It was a pure dog who knew how to bluff.
Auntie couldn't sleep these days. She listened carefully to the sound of the door opening and the barking of the big yellow dog all night, for fear of missing any clues.
Originally, the landlady wanted to lock the door tightly in the middle of the night, but several residents could only come back in the middle of the night. Sometimes they worked night shifts and came back at one or two in the morning, so they had no choice but to leave the door open.
However, this time, since Auntie's eyelids started to twitch wildly, Auntie suspected that the person who came back was late and forgot to close the door, causing someone to come in. She even suspected that it was her own insider who committed the crime, because Auntie didn't see anyone who was guarding the door.
Someone has to get close.
Therefore, in order to lure out the clothes thief, the night before yesterday, instead of putting away the clothes, Auntie got some of her favorite underwear and hung them up. Although the size was a bit larger and the style was very old, in Auntie's eyes
It seems that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs, so this move also made the aunt feel cruel.
Moreover, Auntie also learned a lesson this time. She specially sprinkled a thin layer of lime powder around the clothes drying area. At night, almost no one would care. Auntie learned this from TV. As long as you follow the lime powder
If you follow the footprints on the powder or look at the shape of the soles of your feet, I believe it will be much easier to find out who it is next.
Just do it. That night, the aunt secretly sprinkled lime powder in the courtyard when the night was dim. Just like that, the aunt stayed in her room and looked out from the crack of the door. Time passed by minute by second.
Auntie was so sleepy that she took a nap.
At about 3 o'clock in the morning, the aunt was really sleepy and fell asleep directly. When she woke up, it was already past 5 o'clock and it was already dawn. At this time, the aunt opened the door in a panic and looked at the clothes drying rack.
This time, Auntie made a miscalculation. As usual, all her clothes were gone. Even Auntie's old-fashioned pants that she had treasured for a long time were confiscated. Looking at the white lime powder on the ground, let alone footprints, there was no trace of them.
There were no traces of the past. At that time, the aunt was so frightened that she shivered. Could it be that it was haunted?
The aunt's first reaction was that she usually slaughtered pigs and sheep, and had offended some god, which resulted in the current situation.
She quickly told her husband, the landlord's uncle, her guess. Although the uncle had not gone to school for a few years, he also advocated science. Seeing how superstitious her aunt was, she told him that lime powder was not good, and people would steal things.
You can put a plastic bag on your feet, and after stealing it, sprinkle some on you. You can tell. Although there has been no strong wind in the middle of the night recently, it has changed a little bit. You are not Sun Wukong. Can you
See it.
When the aunt heard that it made sense, she hurriedly asked the uncle for advice. The uncle told the aunt that she needed to get some mud, and the color was exactly the same as the ground, so that the thief would definitely step on it, and the yard would be covered with mud. More importantly,
, this thing is difficult to deal with. Once stepped on, there will be a dent, and it is difficult to deal with the dirt in the yard. He has no time to clean up the mess.
Auntie woke up from a dream, so she just did what she said. She quickly found some loose soil and kneaded it into mud. It was the same as kneading noodles. Auntie found it easily.
At night, I took advantage of the darkness and quietly spread the mud all over. From a distance, I couldn't see anything on the ground at all. It was not like the lime powder yesterday. There were more or less abnormalities in the surrounding ground. At first glance,
When the aunt saw the fruits of her labor, she became very excited. When she saw that the thief had been caught, she would not have beaten him to death.
Also today, Auntie found some of her underwear again. When she was young, Auntie was also a flower in the alley, and her uncle often ridiculed him for lacking everything but underwear, so Auntie got some again this time, as early as possible
He hung it on the clothesline just to attract that person's attention.
The night is getting dark. Today is also the 16th day of the lunar calendar. The moon is full. Occasionally, there are barking sounds from the alleys. Of course, they are not the yellow dogs at the gate. That guy is so fast asleep that he barks.
The aunt was also waiting at the door. This time, in order to prevent herself from falling asleep, the aunt spent a lot of money to buy a can of Red Bull. It seems that she is really a sentimental person.
In this way, the aunt watched every minute, for fear of missing even a tiny bit.
Crunch~crunch~~
The door is open.
Auntie's heart was in her throat.
But he was soon disappointed. This was Xiao Zhang on the second floor who had returned from the night shift. Xiao Zhang was a wage earner and had been coming to Yunlu City for a few years. He was now working on a construction site and had a temporary project these days.
During the expansion, Xiao Zhang worked overtime day and night in order to make money, regardless of physical fatigue.
Could it be Xiao Zhang?
But then, Xiao Zhang went straight to the south room on the second floor. After cleaning up for a few minutes, he heard thunderous snoring.
Alas, Auntie seems to be disappointed. The sound insulation effect of the bungalow is not very good, and it is relatively quiet at night, so Auntie can hear Xiao Zhang's snoring clearly.
Then around 2 o'clock in the morning, the door opened again. Although the aunt was a little tired, the Red Bull was not in vain. It still had some effect. She stood up immediately and looked through the crack in the door with wide eyes.
But it was Xiao Zhou who came back. Xiao Zhou is a software engineer with thick glasses. He usually works overtime to design software. This time, in order to solve a database conflict problem, he didn't come back until early in the morning today.
