Chapter 138 Suspect

The middle-aged policeman frowned, making the lines on his forehead even deeper. It was obvious at a glance that this man often frowned and must be a very serious person.

"You mean to say that your whole family was at home, and then a thief broke in, and no one at home noticed?"

Then he had to suspect that the family was lying. How soundly must that person have slept that the house was turned upside down and no one woke up, not to mention that there were two injured people. The one with broken legs and arms didn't make any sound at all. How was it possible?

"Really, comrade Public Security, I'm not lying. My family was at home last night and we really didn't hear anything."

Old Man Wang quickly added, "I opened my eyes today because I heard screams. When I opened my eyes, the house was already like this, and I heard someone knocking on the door."

"I opened the door and realized it was almost noon. My family all had jobs, so I don't know why everyone overslept."

Old man Wang felt something was wrong. Could it be that someone had drugged everyone in his family?

"Oh, you mean, your whole family overslept, and you woke up because you heard the screams. Did you find anything else?"

Old man Wang was almost vomiting: "Also, the front door of the house was the same as before I went to bed yesterday, it was bolted from the inside." He also wanted to say that he suspected it was a thief in the house.

But how could he say this? If he said it, and the police asked him who he suspected, what would he do? He didn't think his children were capable of doing such a thing, and they didn't have the courage to touch the things of the old couple.

Thinking of this, he glanced at his daughter's room. There was only one outsider in his family, his son-in-law who was incompetent at anything. But his son-in-law was very cowardly and didn't have the courage to do this.

Just at this moment, he saw his daughter being helped out, and his useless son-in-law being carried out: "What, what, what's wrong with these two people?"

The middle-aged police officer took a look and asked: "Who is this person from your family?"

Old man Wang quickly replied, "This is my daughter and my uncle. They have been living at home since they got married. My uncle is the live-in son-in-law."

"These two people were injured. One injured their leg and the other injured their wrist. Just as you said, they were fine before going to bed last night, but were woken up by severe pain this morning."

Old Man Wang and Boss Wang were both dumbfounded. They only lost money, but the younger sister (daughter) and her husband had their arms and legs broken, and there was no sound at all. That was strange.

The father and son looked at each other, and both of them thought to themselves, this couldn't be retribution! But why was Xiaoju the one who suffered the most?

Being able to do these things silently must be done by something invisible. I just don’t know if it’s just this time or if it will continue in the future.

The middle-aged police officer saw the guilty look in the two men's eyes and felt that there was something else going on. "First, have your family members pack up and come out. We need to check the scene carefully."

I guess they can't see anything. The family may have discovered that something was missing and searched everywhere. Even if the thief left some traces, they can't be seen now.

However, the yard could still be checked. After the middle-aged policeman checked the yard, he shook his head and thought it might be a thief in the house, as there were no signs of outsiders in the yard.

Chen Ye has always been careful in doing things, for fear of causing trouble in the future. How could she not clean up her traces? Besides, she often goes into the mountains to hunt, and she is very skilled in cleaning up her traces, making it difficult for people to find any flaws.

The yard is only this big, and people outside the door can hear what happens in the yard. At this moment, the onlookers are discussing it heatedly.

"Hey, what's going on? The Wang family's gate is locked from the inside. How could the thief steal so many things and get away over the wall?"

"Then who knows whether the thief is from outside or from the family? Anyway, this family can't do anything." The person who said this said the last sentence in a very low voice, and only the people in front could hear it.

There is not a single good person in the Wang family, from the old to the young. Anyway, no one in the neighborhood is willing to deal with them. They don't know when they will be taken advantage of by them, and they may even cause harm to them, so they all stay away from them.

"You know what, now you say that, it makes sense. He might be a thief in the family."

"How else could so many things be lost without anyone nearby hearing anything?"

"Then who do you think this thief could be?"

"We wouldn't dare to guess. Once the police investigate, we'll know who it is."

"What's going on with Wang Ju and his wife? They don't look like they're pretending."

"Maybe the couple got into a fight and got angry, and accidentally hit someone too hard. Now they say they didn't hit me, so they didn't hit me?"

"I don't think so. That coward Chen Ersheng doesn't have the courage to fight with his wife. Isn't he afraid that his father-in-law and his family will kick him out?"

"Really? Chen Ersheng doesn't have the courage to do that. So what do you think is going on?"

The old ladies looked at each other, saw the fear in each other's eyes, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Oh my god, why does this sound so haunted? Could it be that the Wang family did something wrong and the ghosts came to seek revenge?

For example, the Wang family's origins in living in this small courtyard are not clean. It is said that the previous residents were harmed by the Wang family, so the Wang family occupied this courtyard.

As for what the Wang family said, that this family secretly sold the yard to their family and left, they didn't believe it. Who would sell a house or move so quietly? If the person suddenly disappeared, it might be that he was killed by the Wang family.

They have lived here all their lives. The young couple who lived in this house before had never heard of any relatives from other places. How could that person suddenly disappear and even leave behind the furniture in the house?

The more I thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case. Several old ladies backed away again and again, and even came together to make eye contact. I didn't know how they communicated, but they all had expressions of deep agreement, and then turned around and hurried home.

It's too scary. What if this ghost not only takes revenge on the Wang family, but also on these old neighbors? It's better not to join in the fun.

The middle-aged policeman took everyone back to the police station. He always felt that there was something strange about the Wang family case, so it would be better to go back and ask clearly. The number of people he brought today was not enough, so it would be convenient to go back to the station for questioning.

The Wang family was in chaos and no one noticed that there was a missing daughter. It was not until Chen Laoer and his wife were in the hospital with no one to take care of them that they remembered that there was a grown-up girl at home.

Wang Ju asked Chen Laoer, who was lying in the bed next to her, "Where's our Ting'er?"

Chen Laoer was confused when asked: "How should I know? I opened my eyes only after I heard your voice." As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a piercing pain and could not care about anything else.
