Chapter 317 The world is in decline, and people’s hearts are no longer the same

"Good guy, he even pried open the lock of my front door." Lin Xiangnan snorted and laughed, ready to chase after him and beat him up.

Hu Meili stopped the man and said, "Don't go. It's dark outside and we don't know how many people there are. Besides, it's dark and if they go into the alley, you won't be able to find them. Don't waste your time."

Lin Xiangnan was confident in his own abilities, but with two children at home, he was worried about him running out alone, "Forget it, let them go for now."

"Mom, remember to go to the police station to report the case tomorrow." Lin Xiangnan reminded her. She had to go to class and work tomorrow, so she really couldn't spare the time.

"I went there early in the morning. I guessed that my house would be robbed sooner or later." Hu Meili cursed and said, "They must have targeted the color TV in my house."

In the middle of the night, Hu Meili's scream lit up the lights in many houses around.

Many people put on their clothes and turned on flashlights to see what was going on.

"What happened? Where's the thief? Did he run away?"

"The locks of your house have been picked. Nothing is stolen, right?"

We came out too late, and the thieves had already run away and could not be caught up even if we tried to chase them.

"Nothing is missing. It's just the color TV that I just brought back today. It fell on the ground. I don't know if it's broken. I can only check tomorrow."

After explaining, Hu Meili advised: "You all should go to sleep. Those thieves should not dare to come again tonight."

After hearing her words, the enthusiastic crowd slowly dispersed.

Lin Xiangnan took a flashlight and walked around the room where he kept the antiques. When he found that nothing was missing, he nodded with satisfaction.

Her collection is not only expensive to sell, but also small and portable, unlike the color TV, which is extremely heavy.

I don’t know if those thieves got their feet hit by the TV when it fell to the ground after being caught by Hu Meili.

Feeling angry, Hu Meili went to the police station to report the case early the next morning after sending her child to the nursery.

"Did you see the other person's appearance?" the police asked.

"No." Hu Meili said angrily: "It was dark and they had their faces covered. How could I see what they looked like?"

"How about your height?"

"I don't know their height. Maybe they got hit on the feet by the TV. The two little thieves shrank their necks in pain. Then they were hit by a bench thrown by my daughter. They walked away in jumps..."

When Hu Meili talked about this, her expression was somewhat smug and happy. "Those thieves really deserved it. If we caught them, I would beat them to death. What a wicked thing they are, stealing things from my house..."

Hu Meili was very emotional, but the police officer on the scene looked embarrassed. "There have been many theft cases recently. It's hard to investigate cases like yours where there are no clues."

"What do you mean? You can't find anything?" Hu Meili grumbled in dissatisfaction, "These thieves are so arrogant, and you can't find anything?"

"We can only try our best."

In the past, there were few unemployed young people in the city, and the police in each district only needed to focus on the street urchins in a few surrounding streets. If there was any situation, they would check them first. It was likely that that group of people had made mistakes and had not escaped.

Now that the policy of sending people to the countryside has been stopped, not only has the number of unemployed young people in the city increased, but also educated youth from the countryside have gradually returned to the city. However, there are too many suspects, and the police don't know who to start the investigation with.

The police went to Lin Xiangnan's yard and collected some evidence, but the progress was stuck there.

However, Gu Zhenhua heard about this at school, and brought a retired military dog ​​home on Sunday. He also made a special phone call to his old comrade-in-arms to chat about it.

"My position is not high, just a deputy regiment commander, it's not a big deal. But my Xiaolin is different, the confidentiality level of her unit is higher than mine. Although Xiaolin said that her materials and manuscripts were not lost, and those thieves came for the color TV, but in this kind of thing, you have to be prepared for the worst, don't you think..."

"Understood. Don't worry, Gu Tuan. Leave this matter to me. I will ask my brothers in the bureau to find the person."

Because of their previous friendship, and the fact that what Gu Zhenhua said made sense, the importance of this theft case suddenly rose to a higher level, and several more police officers were assigned to investigate the case.

"Maybe they just stole the TV." Lin Xiangnan comforted him, "You even sent a retired military dog ​​home. They probably won't dare to come again in the short term."

"I can't stay at home every day. I won't feel at ease until those thieves are found."

Not to mention Gu Zhenhua's thoughts, when Professor Wang heard that Lin Xiangnan's house was robbed, his first thought was also that it was a spy. He called the Public Security Bureau in front of Lin Xiangnan and demanded a thorough investigation.

Gu Zhenhua relies on his connections, while Professor Wang relies on his status in the industry.

As soon as she spoke, the importance of the theft case in Lin Xiangnan's home rose to a higher level.

Lin Xiangnan asked hesitantly, "Wouldn't this be too much of a fuss?"

"You are young and have never experienced this. You don't know that the enemy will do anything to achieve their goals." Professor Wang said calmly, "We need to investigate this matter thoroughly before we can rest assured."

Professor Wang and Gu Zhenhua's attitude made Lin Xiangnan a little suspicious, suspecting that he was being targeted by a spy.

But she is just a rookie in the industry, not even a little famous. Lin Xiangnan sighed sadly.

"Don't worry, as long as the Public Security Bureau is willing to make an effort to investigate, they will definitely find it out in the end." Gu Zhenhua comforted.

Lin Xiangnan looked calm, "I have never been anxious. Especially after we got a dog at home, I am even less anxious."

The one who was anxious was always Gu Zhenhua.

Although Gu Zhenhua was very nervous about this matter, those thieves could not be found for the time being and he had to live his life as usual.

After class at noon, Lin Xiangnan came out of the classroom and prepared to go home. She searched for her bicycle in the parking lot for a long time but couldn't find it.

"Strange. Is it because I've been thinking about spies lately that I'm in a trance? I remember I went out on a bike this morning."

Lin Xiangnan couldn't find his bicycle, so he had to walk home. When he got home, he found that his bicycle was not at home either.

"How did you walk back? Didn't you ride a bicycle when you left this morning?" Hu Meili saw the sweat on Lin Xiangnan's forehead and couldn't help asking, "Did you lend your bicycle to a classmate?"

At this time, Lin Xiangnan was certain. She said to Hu Meili with resentment: "Mom, my bicycle was stolen... My super new, super beautiful bicycle is gone!"

The world is becoming more corrupt, and people are no longer as they used to be. First it was the color TV, then the bicycle. Good things are always coveted.

Hu Meili was even more angry than Lin Xiangnan. "Damn thieves! I'm going to report them to the police! Find the police! Arrest them! Arrest all of them!"
