There was an immediate burst of surprised discussion among the crowd.

"What? This person is a thief? No way?" A fashionable young woman widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief. There was a slight tremor in her voice, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"This young man looks so polite, how could he be a thief?" A gray-haired old lady leaned on a cane and shook her head slightly, her face full of confusion, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding."

"That's right, don't wrongly accuse a good person." An uncle next to him also said, with his hands folded in front of his chest, a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Ask clearly first."

"Oh, this bicycle is so special, he must have stolen it, how can it be such a coincidence."

An impatient young man couldn't help shouting, his face full of anger, pointing at the man, "Look at how flustered he is, he must be hiding something."

Everyone was arguing one after another.

At this time, the man who was accused of being a thief flushed his face and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but he didn't know where to start.

There was panic and a hint of grievance in his eyes. He held the handlebars of the bicycle tightly, as if that was his last straw.

The young man's face suddenly turned red, and the veins on his neck bulged. He said to Lin Zhiyue viciously: "What are you talking about, girl? What do you mean this bicycle is yours? It's obviously mine! I rode it to the county town to do some work early in the morning, and now I'm ready to go home after finishing my business. How can it be stolen as you said?" As he spoke, he gripped the handlebars of the bicycle tightly, as if he was afraid that it would be snatched away. His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, and he stared at Lin Zhiyue.

The people around heard the young man's rebuttal and began to whisper to each other again. "Oh, this is really a case of each saying that he is right and the other saying that he is right. Who is lying?"

An old lady frowned and looked around, her face full of confusion.

"That's right, this bicycle does look very special. It can't be such a coincidence that two people have exactly the same bicycle?" A young man next to him scratched his head, looking confused.

Seeing that the young man refused to admit it, Lin Zhiyue didn't want to argue with him anymore.

She quickly turned to face the crowd, raised her voice, and said anxiously: "Aunties and aunties who are watching the excitement, who can help me call the police? I'll give him one dollar as a running fee!"

At this moment, her eyes were full of anxiety and determination, and her tone was full of unquestionable courage.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked at each other, hesitating.

At this time, a plump middle-aged woman in simple clothes, as if she had made a great decision, suddenly raised her hand and answered loudly: "I, I, I, I'll go. Wait, I'll be there soon!" After that, she stuffed the basket in her hand into the hand of an acquaintance next to her, and hurriedly ran towards the public telephone booth on the street. Her quick steps raised a little dust.

When the young man heard that Lin Zhiyue was going to call the police, his face turned pale instantly, and his originally tough eyes were now filled with panic and fear.

His eyes rolled around, he gritted his teeth, and swung the bicycle on his shoulder to the side, trying to slip away in the chaos.

The bicycle fell to the ground with a clang, causing the people around to exclaim in surprise.

However, Lin Zhiyue was always watching his every move vigilantly.

Just as the young man took a step forward, Lin Zhiyue rushed forward with quick eyes and hands, grabbed his arm tightly with both hands like a pair of pliers, and shouted loudly: "Don't go, didn't you say that this bicycle is yours? Then let's wait here and see what the police say when they come!"

Her hands trembled slightly due to the force, but her eyes were extremely firm, as if she could see through the thief in front of her.

The young man struggled hard, trying to break free from Lin Zhiyue's restraints, but Lin Zhiyue held on tightly and refused to let go. The two of them just stayed there. The crowd around them formed a circle, surrounding them tightly in the middle. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the police to arrive.

After a while, two policemen quickly got off their bicycles and walked into the crowd with brisk steps.

The tall policeman in the lead glanced around sharply and asked in a louder voice: "What's going on? What's the situation?" His voice was clear and powerful, instantly quieting the noisy crowd.

The police listened carefully to the alternating narratives of Lin Zhiyue and the young man, frowning from time to time.

After hearing this, the young man's face was still flushed, and he insisted in a tough attitude: "Comrade police, this bicycle is definitely mine, and this girl is just framing me!" He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Lin Zhiyue took a deep breath, calmly and confidently, and said to the police: "Uncle police, look, this bicycle is very different from ordinary ones. I spent a lot of effort to modify it myself."

As she spoke, she walked over to the bicycle, gently stroked the solar panel with her fingers, and then pointed to the fingerprint device on the handlebars. "Look here, there is a special device, this is the fingerprint reader, and only my fingerprint is recorded in it. Even if someone else takes the bike away, they won't be able to ride it at all."

After saying this, Lin Zhiyue turned sideways and pressed her right index finger firmly on the fingerprint lock.

In an instant, a crisp "beep" sound was heard, and the bicycle that was originally locked was unlocked, and the indicator light on the handlebar flashed a faint green light.

Then, Lin Zhiyue swiftly got on the bicycle and rode easily in front of everyone, changing the speed from time to time to demonstrate the vehicle's flexible controllability.
