Chapter 77 My dad is rich, go to him if you need anything
The search didn't take long, but Xiao Jinchuan felt that this period was particularly difficult.
He looked towards the backyard nervously.
“Found it!”
A loud shout made his whole body numb.
How is that possible!
How could it really be found?
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Jinchuan, with confusion, contempt, and shock.
He could even sense the ill intentions in their eyes.
But the more this happened, the more he held his head high and straightened his chest.
"Deputy Captain Xiao, please explain what is going on."
Xiao Jinchuan watched them walk out from the backyard holding a rather large bag.
“This isn’t ours.”
"No? Then can you explain why it was found in your yard?"
"Could it be that someone is trying to frame me?"
The inspection team shouted harshly.
Chen Zhicheng pushed through the crowd and said, "I don't believe it. This definitely wasn't done by Deputy Commander Xiao. He wouldn't have had to steal anything."
"And if he really did it, he wouldn't be stupid enough to bury it in his own backyard."
"Maybe they're trying to divert attention. If they're discovered, they'll say it was a frame-up. Without solid evidence, no one would have thought the stuff would be in Deputy Captain Xiao's house, right?"
Chen Zhicheng was anxious: "Miss Song is from a wealthy family. This little thing is nothing. Why would she take the risk to steal it?"
Song Yunqing felt embarrassed. Although it was the truth, it seemed that it would easily attract hatred.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around fell silent. Although the words were rough, the logic was sound and made a lot of sense.
Song Yunqing was so generous to the people on the island, giving them notebooks, pens, and even sharing some delicious food from time to time. They didn't believe that she would embezzle such a small amount of sugar and kerosene.
"Whether they stole it or not is hard for us to say, but the fact that it was found here is indisputable. You can't escape responsibility."
Song Yunqing held down Xiao Jinchuan's slightly trembling hand and said, "How do you know that this is just sugar? What if it's not?"
"We received a report..."
"A report is a report, but you're convicting us without even looking at it. With all your words and no evidence, isn't that a bit too hasty?"
The inspection team looked at each other. Regardless of whether they looked at it or not, it must have been them who took it. There was the Beijing City logo on the bag.
They must have secretly transferred it out and put it in their own bags, pretending that it belonged to them.
Fortunately, the leader of the inspection team was not so arbitrary. Although he was very angry about the stolen goods being found in Xiao Jinchuan's house, he also knew that there was probably something hidden behind it.
He winked at the person in front of him: "Open it and take a look."
The man received the order and opened the bag carefully. Everyone looked at him with bated breath.
People who were well-informed had already gathered around.
Qian Xiufen felt indescribably comfortable. After a tiring day, her waist straightened up, and her waist and legs no longer felt sore, and her legs no longer hurt.
"You're not saying that those things were really taken by Deputy Captain Xiao, are you?"
"No way, their family doesn't seem like the kind of people who need such a thing!"
"It's hard to say. Who would think they have a lot of money?"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, the result will be known soon."
The bag was opened, revealing packages of small pieces. The man's eyes widened.
"this……"
"What's wrong? It can't be true."
"Hurry up and tell me, ouch, I'm so anxious!"
"Leader... come and see for yourself..."
The leader looked at the man's indescribable expression, and thought to himself that something was wrong. He strode over and pulled it apart.
The small bag inside suddenly appeared before my eyes.
"Why are these?"
Xiao Jinchuan took two steps forward and saw clearly what was inside.
A few bags of potatoes, a few bags of corn, and some packaged peanuts and sunflower seeds.
It turned out not to be sugar and kerosene as they thought.
Even though his heart was already filled with turmoil, he still managed not to show any expression.
"Did you see clearly?"
"Is this what you're looking for?"
The inspection team's faces looked extremely ugly. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to them.
One slap was given to the person who reported the news, and the other slap was given to me because I listened to one side of the story and believed it.
"We were too impulsive."
The breath that had been stuck in Xiao Jinchuan's chest finally came out.
"Since you all have your suspicions, let's look for it and see if we can find anything else suspicious."
He pulled Song Yunqing aside and looked at her calm demeanor. His heart also calmed down unusually.
The inspection team carefully checked the entire place inside and out, especially the warehouse, but they didn't find anything suspicious.
Although they knew that their family was wealthy, they were still surprised when they saw the warehouse full of stock.
He began to believe what those people said. How could such a family possibly covet those dozen bags of candy?
"Deputy Captain Xiao, I'm so sorry, we checked and there's nothing in your house."
"But I had the pleasure of taking a look at your storehouse. You are indeed well-funded!"
This statement is more or less ironic, and I guess he still can't swallow that.
Xiao Jinchuan was in a dilemma. Song Yunqing snorted coldly, "I don't know if you're truly responsible or just pretending to be, but one thing they said is very true. My family is very rich, my father is very rich, and even if I were down and out, I wouldn't need such a small thing."
"If you can't stand me, you can go find my dad, find Song Yaohua. After all, he gives me all my money. My family is rich, so I can't help but be jealous."
This was the first time Song Yunqing spoke such words to everyone, in such a condescending and aggressive manner.
She thought she had kept a low profile since arriving on the island and wanted to build good relationships, but some people just kept putting her in danger.
Even clay figures have some temper.
"Have you finished checking? I'm going to sleep now. If you're still thinking about the things in my warehouse, come to my house tomorrow and I'll cook for you."
Do you have the nerve to come here after such a huge mistake? You must have a thicker skin than the city wall!
"No... no need, we still need to go to another place to check..."
Xiao Jinchuan: "It's already nine o'clock. How long are you going to finish the inspection? All night? Do you want everyone to stay up tonight to accompany you in the inspection? Why don't you start during the day?"
The inspection team members looked grim: "We just received a report..."
"Acting rashly without verifying the authenticity has already alerted the enemy. You've disrupted my plans. Who should compensate for this loss?"
"We will help you find the real culprit!"
The inspection team's faces were burning with anger. They could not stay any longer and left with their people.
Judging from the direction they left, they should be going back.
Seeing that Xiao Jinchuan was angry, the people around him didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly dispersed one by one.
Xiao Jinchuan closed the door, and the stone in his heart finally settled down.
He pulled Song Yunqing in and asked quietly, "Did you know this would be the outcome?"
"What's the result?"
"They'll search our house and find things. Don't try to fool me. There's nothing in the backyard. Our supplies are all in the warehouse. Besides, those aren't suitable for burying underground."
Song Yunqing could only sigh in his heart that Xiao Jinchuan was indeed very clever and nothing could escape his eyes.
She slowly poured a glass of water for both of them and then leaned against the bed.
"I did know it a little earlier than you did."
Xiao Jinchuan's heart skipped a beat: "So what was originally contained in this was sugar and kerosene?"
Song Yunqing nodded: "Yes, judging by the condition of the soil, it must have been there for more than ten days. If I hadn't remembered clearly that there was a wild lily on it, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have found it."
When Xiao Jinchuan went out to look for clues in the afternoon, her heart was pounding and she couldn't sit still, so she simply got up and walked around the house.
When passing the backyard, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.
She thought about it frantically in her mind, and finally remembered that there were a few wild lilies in this place. She had planned to open up a garden in the yard and move it to the front yard when she had time.
I didn't expect to forget it once I got busy.
But now it is clean and there is not even a trace of wild lilies.
The grass around it looked like it had been razed by someone and was in a mess.
But she and Xiao Jinchuan had never touched the backyard...
So... there must be something fishy going on.
She dug up the soil and saw something buried underneath. She wanted to expose it, but then she wondered if they would retaliate and accuse her of staging it.
I might as well just put it into the space, and then replace it with something like potatoes, trying the same trick to see if I can lure out the mastermind behind it.
I didn’t expect that the inspection team arrived before the person was caught.
The people behind the scenes are still too cautious.
"Did you replace the things in there?"
"Yes, I originally wanted to see who was harboring evil intentions towards our family, and whether they would jump out and point fingers when they were careless."
"Where's that thing?"
"In a completely safe place."
Xiao Jinchuan clenched his fists. He thought that after arriving on the island, he had been working diligently for the welfare of everyone. Although he couldn't say how much he had contributed, he hadn't done much wrong either.
But there are always people who dislike him and want to deal with him.
If you are not careful, you will be framed.
Even if Song Yunqing hadn't been smart enough to discover the things buried in the backyard, he might not be able to explain himself even if he had eight mouths.
"Thank you."
"Don't be so polite. I'm doing this to help myself. Don't you still want to be my backer? If you fall, who will I turn to?"
Xiao Jinchuan felt a little more comforted.
"Then no matter how vigorously they search for it, they're doomed to fail. Now they're stuck in a dead end. When the two-day deadline is up, I'll be finished, too."
The problem now has changed from finding the thing to catching the culprit behind it.
Not only has the difficulty increased, but the time has also been shortened.
Two days have passed, and now one day and one night have passed, with only one day left.
Xiao Jinchuan scratched his hair in annoyance. It just happened at such an important moment, and the problem just happened now.
"Don't be impatient. Take this opportunity to find that person."
