Chapter 167 The Thief Is Someone Else
As the members who ran over exclaimed, everyone who was standing and watching in Ning Xiyue's kitchen, including the team leader, ran over.
The two police officers carried Li Qiang and the tools used in the crime to Chen Yechu's kitchen.
"Aqiang."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Li Qiang who was being held up pitifully and called out softly, then followed behind helplessly and fearfully from a distance, not daring to get close to the police comrades.
Ning Xiyue sighed when she saw her like that, locked the door and moved towards Chen Yechu.
Only when Ning Xiyue walked over did she see what was happening in Chen Yechu's kitchen.
The door lock had been pried open and was lying on the floor, and many things in the room were missing.
Rice, flour, grain, oil and meat were all hung on a bicycle parked at the door, and the lock of the bicycle had been pried open.
All the places on the bicycle where things could be hung were filled with things, and the most valuable big iron pot was also tied to the back seat.
"Captain, Public Security Comrade, my car was originally parked in the kitchen, and the things hanging on the car are also things from my kitchen. It looks like they are going to steal things from my kitchen and my bicycle."
Chen Yetu led his men into the kitchen, pointed to the empty stove hole on the stove and stated the facts, without accusing anyone of doing it.
But everyone knew what was going on and they all guessed that it was Li Qiang who was caught next door.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the unconscious Li Qiang.
Some members who had been thieves before suspected that this person was the one who thieved their homes that time.
The captain stared at Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaohua with an expressionless face. Li Qiang had fainted and felt nothing, but Zhang Xiaohua was still awake. The sight of her made her feel uneasy and she staggered back a few steps.
He defended himself: "Captain, no, I can guarantee that it was not Li Qiang who did it."
The captain retracted his gaze and looked at Ning Xiyue: "Girl Yue, come over and help Li Qiang. Wake him up so that the comrades can question him."
"OK."
Ning Xiyue also wanted to know what was going on.
When she finished her meal and left with her bowl, Li Qiang was still kneeling in front of her begging Chen Yetu for money. It only took a few minutes to wash one of her bowls, and Li Qiang couldn't do so much.
The most he did was run into her kitchen and pick the lock on her bike.
Ning Xiyue took out a silver needle and gave the patient an injection.
After a while, Li Qiang woke up slowly.
The captain saw that the man had woken up and asked first: "Li Qiang, what happened today? Did you do all this?"
"Speak clearly." Comrade Sun Gongan shouted sternly, and reminded: "If you lie today, the crime will be even greater."
When Li Qiang saw two public security comrades standing next to him and looking at him, he was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground, trembling as he explained.
"Captain, public security comrades, I am innocent. I did not do this. I definitely did not do it. I have never been here. You have to make the decision for me!"
Chen Yechu saw that he was sincere and didn't seem to be lying. Although this man was blackmailing her, she didn't want to wrongly accuse a good person and let the bad guy go, so she stood up and said:
"Comrade, there is a thief's footprint next to the bicycle over here. I saw it when I came here. You can pull him over and give it a try."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over and saw a footprint on the snow near the bicycle tire.
They didn't go there when they came over, and the onlookers were standing in the kitchen watching.
Those must be the thief's footprints.
Ning Xiyue looked at the footprint and Li Qiang's foot, and they seemed to be different in size.
The thief is someone else.
Sure enough, the public security comrades took Li Qiang over and asked him to take off his shoes and put them on the ground for comparison. They were different in size, and the footprints on the ground were bigger.
Obviously not a human footprint.
Seeing that he had been cleared of suspicion, Li Qiang relaxed.
Zhang Xiaohua also had a smile on her face.
The people watching here were also asked to go up and try, but in the end no one met the requirements.
"Who is this? This is so strange. Did we blame Li Qiang wrongly?" The onlookers were completely confused.
The police officer looked at Li Qiang and asked, "Then what were you doing in the kitchen next door? Why did you run into someone else's kitchen to pry open a car?"
"Yes, Li Qiang was caught in the kitchen of the educated youth in Xiaoning. It is a fact that he broke into the car."
"this…"
Li Qiang hesitated and found it difficult to speak.
The captain's face darkened when he saw his performance: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Ning Xiyue also looked at him, waiting for an answer.
The public security comrade stared at him with a pair of sharp eyes.
Li Qiang was frightened by the captain and the police officer's eyes when he was hesitating, and he confessed everything: "I, I wanted to take Chen Zhiqing's bicycle out to use as a bargaining chip, but I went to the wrong place. I didn't want to steal the bicycle, absolutely not."
Chen Yetu's face looked unhappy. This Li Qiang would do anything to extort money and even took a taxi. She didn't say anything for the time being and continued to look at Li Qiang.
Li Qiang knelt down in front of Ning Xiyue and apologized: "Ning Zhiqing, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to steal your car. Please believe me. I'm sorry for scaring you."
To be honest, Li Qiang was quite afraid of Ning Xiyue, so when he found out that he had entered Ning Xiyue's kitchen to break into the car, he was terrified, fearing that she would hit him with a brick and send him flying into the toilet.
So he came over and apologized sincerely, with tears and snot.
Zhang Xiaohua also came over to apologize, playing the emotional card, saying that there were elderly people and children to take care of at home, and now the house had collapsed, and other sympathetic words.
Ning Xiyue looked around and saw the moved expressions of everyone present, as well as the reluctance in the captain's eyes.
"Tongzi, use my last ten points to help me test whether he is lying."
"Okay, host."
"Ding, Li Qiang has not been detected to be lying."
In that case, beating up Li Qiang would almost make up for her anger. The rest was none of her business, but only Chen Yechu's.
"In that case, I'm fine with that, but you broke in and damaged the lock of my car, so you have to pay for it."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely compensate you, I will definitely compensate you."
Li Qiang nodded repeatedly. As long as the charge of stealing the car was cleared, he would not worry too much about the rest.
The public security comrades didn't say anything when they saw this.
After he got up from the ground, Chen Yechu stood up and said calmly: "Xiyue has explained it clearly, so let's talk about my side. You are blackmailing me. Do you mean to use my and Liu Yao's bicycles to threaten me and force me to pay?"
Li Qiang was also a person who could judge the situation. With the public security comrades around, he would gain nothing by continuing to make trouble. He also knew the temper of this educated youth Chen well. He knew that he was not someone to be trifled with, so he would not allow him to continue making trouble.
So Li Qiang softened and changed his attitude.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was blinded by money. I should have listened to you when you reminded me and shouldn't have scolded you."
Li Qiang stood solemnly in front of Chen Yechu and bowed deeply:
"Chen Zhiqing, I apologize to you. This time, I was wrong. I shouldn't have blamed you for the house collapse. I really had no choice. All my family's belongings were buried in the snow, and my children were frostbitten. I didn't have a penny in my pocket, and I had nothing to eat. That's why I lost my mind."
This caught Chen Yechu off guard. If the opponent tried to force her, she could still fight back head-on, but if the opponent tried to be soft and apologized to her sincerely, her weak heart would not allow her to argue too much with Li Qiang.
Everyone on the team looked at Chen Yetu, making her remain silent.
Seeing this, Li Qiang hardened his heart and pulled Zhang Xiaohua to kneel in front of Chen Yechu to ask for forgiveness.
"Well, Chen Zhiqing, why don't you just forgive him?" some onlookers advised.
The moment the two men knelt down, they swept the snow beside them, revealing something.
"Hey, what is this?" Ning Xiyue noticed something vaguely visible under the rear tire of the bicycle, and pointed at it and shouted to the police comrade: "Comrade, there seems to be something there."
The public security comrade squatted down and reached under the tire, pulling out a black string with a copper coin on it.
"Whose is this? Does anyone know who it is?"
"Not ours."
Most of the onlookers shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know him.
Aunt Liu from the gossip group covered her head and thought, "It's a bit familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for the time being."
"Think about it carefully."
Zhang Xiaohua, who was kneeling on the ground, saw the copper coins in the public security comrade's hand and his pupils dilated, and a look of shock flashed across his face.
Li Qiang also secretly glanced at Zhang Xiaohua.
The changes in the two were clearly seen by Ning Xiyue who was watching their movements.
These two people must know something and recognize this copper coin and its owner.
Sun An'an's eagle-like eyes also noticed the changes in the two people, and handed the copper coin in his hand to Zhang Xiaohua: "Do you know him?"
Chen Yechu even saw Li Qiang's little movements.
"Do you two know something? Tell me, and I will forgive you and not mind your making trouble."
