There is no evidence... But we are looking for evidence." The two people tried to defend themselves.

"Robbery just to find evidence? According to what you said, if we find evidence, can we kill people? This is nonsense! Take him away, take him away."

The two public security comrades decided not to waste time talking to them and directly took them back to the police station.

Before leaving, they said to Ye Li: "It's too late today. Come to the police station tomorrow and give a statement."

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work, comrades!"

"This is what we should do. The New Year is approaching, and there are a lot of thieves and robbers. Go home earlier if you can, instead of staying up so late." The police officer gave a few more instructions before taking the two robbers away.

The next day was a weekend and there was no work, and because it was snowing, many people did not go out.

In the morning, someone from the street office came and asked all the management institutes to attend a meeting.

As the manager of No. 9 Courtyard, Aunt Liang hurried to the meeting after receiving the notice.

...

...

He came back around noon and called every household out to briefly convey the meaning of the street.

"It's snowing today and it's very cold outside. Let's hold a simple meeting to convey the content of the street meeting this morning. Last night, the public security comrades caught two highway robbers in our alley."

As soon as Aunt Liang finished speaking, the neighbors in the yard started talking.

"Robber? The public security here is relatively good. There haven't been any cases all year round. How come a robber came?"

"Thieves nowadays are so bold that they no longer steal but just rob people openly?"

"We have to be careful next time. It will be troublesome if we encounter this."

Aunt Jiang asked loudly, "Aunt Liang, who did the robber rob? Do you know?"

"Ye Li, can you tell everyone about it?"

As soon as Aunt Liang finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Li.

Don’t you understand what I mean?

It was clearly telling everyone that the person who was robbed last night was Ye Li.

Zhao Xingmei didn't expect that this would involve matters related to their family.

When he heard that Ye Li was robbed, he hurriedly asked, "What happened to Li Li? Why didn't I hear you say anything?"

Ye Li glanced at Wang Sha standing in the crowd and said slowly, "Nothing happened last night. I was lucky. Thanks to the police who found me and saved me. Those two people have been roaming around here for quite some time. We finally caught them."

"It's been quite a while, and I haven't encountered this even once." Aunt Jiang patted her chest and said thankfully.

After hearing this, Wang Sha's expression changed slightly.

Aunt Liang continued, "Let's collect statistics in the hospital to see who comes back late from the night shift. What time do they come back? Then we can organize a few young and strong people in the hospital to pick them up at the entrance of the alley."

Aunt Jiang nodded repeatedly: "I think it's a good idea. If there are more people, they won't dare to act rashly."

"Secondly, the street wants us to form a patrol team. There are fourteen courtyards in this alley, and each courtyard should have one person, preferably a young and middle-aged man. From now until the New Year, there must be someone patrolling every night."

Daliang heard this and said, "Mom, these guys are still at work. They patrol at night and work during the day. They are not energetic!"

"Don't worry, we won't have one person patrolling the whole night. The street requires three shifts, with three people deployed per night, and each person only for a few hours." Aunt Wang explained.

"That's fine." Daliang nodded.

"If everyone has no objections, we can select the person today. Just let them know before 5pm and they will be picked up."

"No problem, no problem."

"Since we have received the request, let the young and strong ones do it."

"If the young and middle-aged people don't have time, we old people can do it. We are just as alert as they are, and we are just as motivated as they are."

"Yes, yes, yes."

When everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Wang Sha quietly returned to the room.

Jiang Rui didn't get up, still curled up in bed: "What are they talking about outside? It's so lively."

"It's nothing. We'll just have to step up patrols. It's almost the end of the year and there are more thieves. Let's have everyone pay more attention."

Jiang Rui nodded: "It is indeed time to pay attention. Patrol teams have been set up in previous years. Will there be one this year as well?"

"Yes. Aunt Liang asked every household to provide a strong laborer."

"Well. Tell me your name then."

Last year, Jiang Xi and Daliang caught a thief and rewarded everyone in the street with a kettle and a towel.

This matter was reported to the factory, and the factory gave everyone a bonus of ten yuan.

Jiang Rui has been coveting this for a long time, so he also wants to join the patrol team this year.

If he's lucky, maybe he can catch a thief too.

"I understand." Wang Sha agreed.

"It's getting late, you should go make lunch." Jiang Rui was hungry after lying down for the whole morning.

"What would you like to eat for lunch?" Wang Sha asked.

"See how much money we have left at home. I want to eat big buns. Go outside and buy me two beef buns." Jiang Rui ordered.

Although Wang Sha was reluctant, she still took the money and went out.

While queuing to buy buns, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Ye Li should know what was going on with the robber?

In fact, those two people were hired by her.

Wang Jin found this person for her just to find out how much money Ye Li made.

But I didn’t expect that those two people would use this method.

These two people were taken away, which actually had nothing to do with her.

She was not worried about being implicated, she just didn't want to see Ye Li's arrogant look and didn't want her to be happy too early.

The more Wang Sha thought about it, the more she felt that it was impossible to make money with Ye Li.

Wang Rui is so naive that he actually wants to get a piece of the pie from other people's bowls. It's ridiculous.

Since she can't make money, Ye Li can forget about it.

So, she stopped buying buns and went to the post office to borrow paper and pen. She pretended that she couldn't write and asked someone to write a letter of denunciation to report Ye Li.

She braved the wind and snow and stuffed the letter of complaint into the complaint box hanging at the entrance of the weaving factory.

Then he went back and bought two beef buns and went home, fully expecting the news that Ye Li would be punished by the factory.

The reporting box in the weaving factory is cleaned once a week. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the reporting box is undergoing its last cleaning before the New Year.

After the letter in the reporting box was discovered, it was sent to the factory’s Discipline Inspection Commission.

Ye Li was at work when he was called over by the factory leader for investigation.
