After a group of people gathered around the yard and collected a bunch of evidence, they called Xiang Baiwei and Chi Kunli's family over and questioned them carefully.

They didn't leave until the afternoon.

After the police left, Xiang Weiguo called his two brothers and started cleaning the yard.

Xiang Baiwei stood aside and watched, still feeling frightened.

Chi Kunli handed her a cup of hot water and said, "Clean up now? Should we wait until we catch that person? What if the police can analyze some other clues?"

"No need. The police have already collected all the clues they can." Xiang Baiwei shook her head slowly, looking like she had no hope of catching the man. After all, there were too few surveillance cameras in this era and the conditions were limited. "Anyway, nothing was lost and the dog wasn't injured. Let's build the wall higher."

Seeing that she was still a little scared, Chi Kunli patted her back to comfort her, saying, "It's a good thing you were not at home yesterday."

"Yes." Xiang Baiwei herself was a little scared. "When Jiang Sui told me to go back to my parents' home yesterday, I complained that he was too nagging. Now I think it's a good thing that he is here, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"So, your man is reliable."

"Perhaps."

At night, the frightened Xiang Baiwei was still a little dazed.

Wang Chunhua, who felt sorry for her daughter, poured her a cup of brown sugar water and asked her to drink it. After that, she couldn't help but scold her: "When Xiao Jiang came to see me yesterday, she was very sincere. I was afraid that you would be stubborn and refuse to come. Fortunately, I can deal with you now."

Xiang Baiwei smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that what you and Dad said were right. Now my two workshops are really too eye-catching. I don't have to build a house, but I have to rebuild the wall and make it higher."

"Of course. Your father and your eldest brother are discussing it. They are planning to find some broken wine bottles and put them on the top of the wall to prevent people from climbing over it."

Speaking of the person who climbed over the wall, Wang Chunhua gritted her teeth and said, "If I find out who it is from our village, I will scold them so badly that they will never be able to come back here!"

"Mom, the police haven't come to a conclusion yet. Don't say this when you chat in the village later," Xiang Baiwei looked at Wang Chunhua with a headache, "lest people talk about our family behind our backs."

"We are the ones who are at a disadvantage in this matter, okay?" Wang Chunhua was so angry that her teeth itched. "I think that person is really annoying. He has hands and feet and can do anything else, but he has to be a thief? Oh, by the way, I see the police have copied the shoe print. Can we guess who the person is based on the footprint?"

Xiang Baiwei took a sip of brown sugar water and said, "It's possible, but it's not very simple. Maybe I can tell the size of the feet, height and weight, and I can also infer what kind of shoes they are based on the shoe prints."

As she spoke, Xiang Baiwei's beautiful eyebrows twisted into a ball: "I look at that mark, it seems I haven't seen it before, mother, have you seen it?"

Wang Chunhua also recalled after hearing this: "I have indeed never seen that pattern on the sole of a shoe before, but the more unfamiliar the shoe is, the more I can infer who the owner is."

Xiang Baiwei thought the same thing: "Yes, when we go to work in the fields, pay more attention to the shoes on those people's feet. Look at the marks left by the patterns on their soles, and you will know who it is."

Although they thought so, things were not that simple.

For the next two days, several members of the Xiang family, including Chi Kunli, kept the shoe sole print in their minds.

They wandered around the village, trying to find the one that matched their number.

But I never found it.

Jiang Sui finally finished his work at the machinery factory and returned.

When he got home, Xiang Baiwei was standing in the yard staring at the wall, wondering what she could do to make the wall more stable.

Jiang Sui smiled helplessly and deliberately made a loud noise to attract Xiang Baiwei's attention. He asked in confusion, "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it. I have been back for several minutes and have been trying to get your attention, but you have no reaction at all."

Xiang Baiwei looked at Jiang Sui, who was one meter away from her with a smile on his face. Somehow, she felt aggrieved suddenly. Her nose started to feel sore, and her bright big eyes were the most obvious, red as if she was about to cry.

Jiang Sui was frightened by her appearance and walked over to her at a loss: "What's wrong? You are so excited to see me!"

"No." Xiang Baiwei turned her face away, wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and after regaining her composure, she turned around and calmly told Jiang Sui what happened that day.

"Are you okay? Are you scared? Are you not hurt?" Jiang Sui pressed her shoulders and looked her over.

"I'm fine. I listened to you and stayed at my mother's house. The next morning, Chi Kunli came to me and told me about this incident. I was not scared and I wasn't hurt." Xiang Baiwei smiled through her tears.

The worry revealed in Jiang Sui's eyes is not fake, and Xiang Baiwei's heart is not made of steel, she will be moved when she should be.

"I'm glad you're okay. As long as you're okay, it doesn't matter if things are lost at home." Jiang Sui waved his hand nonchalantly, "But the wall should be built higher. I'll take care of it since I'll be free next time."

"I have discussed this with my father and eldest brother. When we build the wall, you should put some broken glass on top of it. It will be safer this way."

"Okay, I just bought a lot of meat and vegetables from town. I'll go back tonight and have a drink with my eldest brother and father-in-law, and we'll talk about this while we eat."

After Jiang Sui finished speaking, he suddenly shook his head with a look of regret: "I thought you missed me so much because you haven't seen me for a few days. Alas, I am so happy for nothing."

Xiang Baiwei was amused by his sudden gaze. She rolled her eyelids helplessly: "You are a teacher, don't be so slick. If your students see you, their impression of you will be greatly reduced."

"I'm just telling you the truth." Jiang Sui took the luggage tied to the car and went in to pack it.

Now that Jiang Sui is back, Xiang Baiwei naturally doesn't have to stay at her parents' home anymore.

After dinner, the two of them returned home slowly.

At night, the two chatted for a while, and because they each had something to do, they hurriedly said good night and entered their own systems.

Xiang Baiwei still has a lot of work to do in her space.

On the other side, after Jiang Sui entered the system, he walked to the locker, took out a pair of muddy shoes, and stared at the shoes for a long time without saying a word.

After a long time, the system issued a reminder sound urging the task to be completed.

Jiang Sui looked up: "Do me a favor."

【Speaking!】

"Help me get rid of these shoes. Get rid of them cleanly and don't let anyone find them."

The system was silent for a while.

[You don't want your wife to find out, right? ]
