No, how on earth did they find out?

Just as he was stunned for a moment, Taotao's father had already called the police, and the police said they would come immediately.

There was such a commotion in the store that some people gathered at the door to watch.

When someone heard Taotao's father say that the owner of the wreath shop had stolen his father's wreath, they were all shocked.

This boss just sells wreaths. There are so many wreaths in his store, why would he steal them?

It's impossible that they stole it back and continued to sell it, right?

Just as everyone was speculating, the police arrived and began to inquire about the situation.

Taotao's father suppressed his anger and grievance and quickly told the whole story.

The police were also surprised when they heard this. After all, they had dealt with gold and silver thefts, and even clothes thefts, but they had never seen anyone stealing wreaths.

After understanding the situation clearly, they naturally had to ask the wreath shop owner the routine questions.

The owner of the wreath shop was so panicked when he saw the police and the crowds of onlookers gathered at the door of the shop.

But he knew better than ever that if he admitted it just like that, he would be truly finished.

Just when he was about to stick his neck out and refuse to admit it, he suddenly felt something fall on his back.

Before he could reach out and touch it, he found that his mouth opened uncontrollably.

"I did it."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Even the police didn't expect him to admit it so quickly.

Seeing this, they hurriedly asked.

"Why do you do this?"

The wreath shop owner was completely dumbfounded.

He didn't want to admit it!

But no matter how he tried to stop, his mouth was still out of control.

He looked at the police with horror on his face, then told them the truth while crying.

"I just want to steal it back and sell it for money..."

As he spoke, he even analyzed his own mental journey.

It turns out that this is not the first time that the wreath shop owner has done such a thing.

Before coming to Taotao's house, he had stolen wreaths from many other families.

And he stole the knowledge that every family was a customer who had bought wreaths from him.

At first, he just thought that the customers would not check the wreaths carefully after placing them on the mountain. He thought it was a pure waste to throw the wreaths on the mountain, and it would be better to recycle them and continue to sell them for money.

As soon as this idea flashed through his mind, he couldn't stop it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.

He had to drive for a long time to purchase goods from outside, and every time he bought a small amount of goods, he would be looked down upon by the manufacturers.

If the goods in my store could never be sold out, wouldn't I no longer have to travel far to buy goods?

But if he asked the owner to take back the wreath, he was afraid they wouldn't agree.

After all, funerals are a big deal, and who would return the wreath just to save a hundred or so dollars?

The key point is that if this news gets out accidentally, people who come to buy wreaths in the future will definitely feel disgusted and will definitely not come to him to buy wreaths again.

Thinking of this, he instantly gave up the idea of ​​spending money to buy back the wreaths, and then considered "retail shopping" at the cemetery, that is, secretly bringing the wreaths from the mountain back home.

This way, he could do it secretly, without anyone knowing, and he could also save some money. It was the best of both worlds!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and then he quickly took action.

The first time he stole a wreath, he was actually quite nervous, afraid of being discovered, so he only dared to steal one and didn't dare to steal more.

After stealing the wreath, he waited anxiously for a few days and even drove to the house where the funeral was held to observe. He found that they were completely unaware that the wreath was missing!

Seeing this, he finally felt relieved.

Of course, these people bought wreaths just to save face, and no one had the time to check the wreaths again.

After the first successful experience, the second time will come naturally soon.

Gradually, he went from stealing one wreath the first time to stealing two, then three...

Fortunately, he was never discovered every time he stole the wreaths.

Even if they discovered it, no one dared to speak out.

After all, this doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it, and I'm afraid of being criticized by others.

In this way, he managed to evade the pursuit and investigation of those family members time and time again.

He stole the old wreath, processed it simply, and it instantly looked brand new again, and sold it as a new wreath.

The price of the wreaths he sold was generally between one hundred and three hundred yuan. If he stole a wreath and continued to sell it, it was equivalent to making money twice, and he could earn hundreds more!

Sometimes his shop doesn't make a penny a day, so a few hundred yuan is definitely a lot of money for him.

Driven by money, he began to steal wreaths continuously, and then made new wreaths from the second-hand wreaths and continued to sell them.

This time at Taotao's house, he hadn't originally intended to steal all the wreaths.

But he was short of money those days, and he had heard before that Taotao's father was a filial and honest man.

If the wreath at his father's grave was stolen, he would buy a replacement immediately.

Doesn't that mean the more he steals, the more money he makes?

Moreover, he had visited Taotao's hometown in advance and knew that it was far from the town and there were not many people in the entire village.

This makes it more convenient for him to travel.

So he took advantage of the first time he sent wreaths to get a feel for the terrain and find a hidden route. Then, on the night of Taotao's grandfather's funeral, he sneaked up the mountain and took away all the wreaths.

In order not to leave footprints or traces, he always rode his bicycle to get close to Taotao's grandfather's grave.

The traces left by the bicycle were smaller than his footprints, and the back seat could hold a wreath, which was much more convenient than carrying it by hand.

It took him only two trips to remove all the wreaths, and at the end he carefully straightened the weeds to cover the wheel marks.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, he rode for a long distance before carrying the wreath to where his pickup truck was parked.

In order to avoid being discovered by Taotao's fellow villagers, he didn't dare drive into that section of the road.

After everything was settled, he began to wait for the next day with trepidation and excitement.

The next day, Taotao's father came to the store to buy a wreath.

When facing Taotao's father, he pretended to be ignorant and asked him with a smile why he came to buy a wreath again.

Taotao's father said embarrassedly that he was buying it for relatives from other places.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Taotao's father's face, he almost laughed out loud!

This guy is too stupid and too easy to fool!

After making sure that Taotao's father didn't suspect him at all, and didn't even suspect the truth about the wreath, he couldn't control himself and started to attack for the second time.

He had never dug up taro twice in a row from the same grave before. But Taotao's father was so stupid and rich that he bought twenty taro in one go, earning several thousand yuan. How could he not be tempted?

The key point is that this is pure profit, because he didn't spend a penny on those wreaths!
