(The romance plotline in this book is quit...
Why would the black-faced man be so reluctant to hand it over? Wouldn't that be like admitting that he had stolen the money? He heard that the post office worker had already called the police. He glanced at the people on his left and right and wanted to run away.
Jiang Haixia was quick-witted and hit him on the back of the neck with a knife as soon as he took a step. The man closed his eyes and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Everyone: “…” Little girl, you are too fierce.
Xiaomei wiped her tears, walked forward and started searching him, and Jiang Haixia also helped her.
The wallet was hidden in the waistband and was found by Jiang Haixia under the gaze of so many people.
Xiaomei burst into laughter as soon as she saw the wallet. She took it and was about to open it.
Lin Qingqing held her hand, took the wallet, and said to the crowd, "Everyone, be a witness."
Then he turned to Xiao Mei and said, "Tell me what's in your wallet."
Xiaomei was startled for a moment, then she reacted and stood up and said without hesitation, "On the top are five big unity notes, wrapped in one dollar, three Mao notes, three meat notes, and one sugar note."
"Below are twenty-three dollars and sixty-six cents, ten dollars, and eight dimes, all rolled up and nestled together."
Seeing Xiaomei tell them what was in her wallet so clearly, everyone believed her half way. Moreover, her anxious look just now didn't seem like she was pretending at all.
At this time, a police officer also walked into the post office. The police station was not far from the post office. A police officer on duty heard that someone was fighting, so he walked over to see what was going on.
As soon as he came in, he saw a person lying on the ground. He frowned and glanced at everyone around him, then asked, "Who called the police?"
The post office staff raised their hands and told everyone what they had seen. The police officer looked at everyone and saw that no one had any objections. He took the wallet from Lin Qingqing's hand, opened it and took a look. It was the same as what Xiaomei had just said.
He said to the crowd, "This man is a thief. He stole the girl's wallet. The contents of the wallet are exactly as the girl described."
Everyone felt relieved after hearing this. Seeing how Xiaomei cried just now, if her wallet was really stolen, who knows how sad she would be.
"Police, quickly catch this thief." someone shouted.
As soon as someone started talking, the others joined in. The police officer waved his hands and said, "Stop arguing! Thieves are shameful and must be arrested. I'm going to call someone to take him away." He then looked at Lin Qingqing and the other two and said, "You'll all go to the police station later to record your statements."
Xiaomei nodded vigorously: "Okay."
She held her wallet tightly in both hands and looked at the police officer intently. She was still very emotional.
The police officer walked over, held the hands of the unconscious black-faced man, and leaned him against the wall.
Xiaomei looked at Jiang Haixia with gratitude, bowed deeply to her, and said in a crying voice: "Thank you, Jiang Xizhi." After that, tears fell again.
There is nearly a hundred dollars in this wallet. If it is lost, she can't afford the compensation even if she sells it.
Seeing her eyes were red and swollen from crying, Jiang Haixia only responded with a "Yeah."
Jiang Haixia had her eyes on the black-faced man as soon as he entered the door. The man looked honest, but after entering the post office, he looked around inconspicuously. When he approached Xiaomei, Jiang Haixia became alert.
Jiang Haixia only took action after he succeeded, otherwise how could she be convicted?
With so many people coming to the post office to send money every day, it's normal for it to be targeted by thieves. It's just that this black-faced man is good at disguise, so people didn't believe he was a thief at first.
Lin Qingqing handed both of their envelopes and stationery to the postal staff: "Zhizhi, we'll come back later. Thank you."
The post office staff was still feeling embarrassed for having misunderstood Jiang Haixia. They enthusiastically took the envelope and put it under the counter, saying, "You guys, just come back later."
