Chapter 99 Catching a Thief



At this time, Lin Minjun no longer had the heart to watch the movie and her eyes were fixed straight ahead.

There was a man and a woman in the first two rows who were acting particularly strangely. The boy reached out his hand towards the girl, but the girl didn't notice at all and was still concentrating on watching the movie.

After a while, the boy pulled his hand back, and there was something in his hand. Because it was too dark in the cinema, Lin Minjun couldn't see clearly what it was.

The boy didn't stop after taking the thing, and reached out his hand again. This time Lin Minjun came to her senses, went to Yan Li's side and said, "Brother, look at the couple in front, the guy seems to be a little strange, he just sat far away from the girl next to him, and now in the middle of the movie, he suddenly sat next to the girl, and just now I saw him reaching out to the girl and taking something."

Yan Li didn't like watching movies, and he was really tired from work, so he was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard these words, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked over there with a stern look.

Lin Minjun lowered her voice and said in a very low voice: "I don't know if he is a hooligan or a thief. What do you think?"

Yan Li immediately stared at him, looked carefully for a while, and made a prompt decision, "It's the thief, I'll catch him, don't make any noise."

He stood up and pretended to be calm as he walked to the front two rows, saying as he walked inside, "Excuse me, please make way. The seat I bought is inside. I'm late."

The people in the cinema were engrossed in watching the movie, so they had no reason to doubt what he said. At most, they complained once and stood up to move away. Yan Li then slowly approached the thief.

Lin Minjun sat in the back and watched, her eyes fixed intently, and she also became nervous.

Yan Li was still walking forward. When he was two or three steps away from the thief, he slowed down and saw the thief take out a watch from the pocket of the girl next to him and put it into his own pocket at an extremely fast speed.

At this time Yan Li was also ready to act. With his movements, he would not be discovered by the thief, and he would catch them all with one move.

But an accident happened. Halfway through the movie, the girl seemed to notice something. She looked at the thief beside her suspiciously, touched her pocket, and screamed, "Oh no! There's a thief! There's a thief stealing things."

She grabbed the thief fiercely, "Is it you? Sitting next to me secretly and stealing my things?"

As soon as the voice was shouted, the staff of course heard it and immediately said, "Who is stealing there? Don't run." Then they turned on the lights and everyone squinted their eyes.

Yan Li was about to catch the thief, but he didn't expect the thief to notice it in advance.

This thief must be a habitual thief who is much more familiar with the cinema than Yan Li. He climbed onto the seat and ran away by stepping on other people's legs. He ran out of the cinema like a monkey and disappeared without a trace. Yan Li followed him.

"What happened? What thief? Why did those two guys run away just now?"

"I don't know. I just heard someone talking about catching a thief, and then these two people ran away. Could there really be a thief? I have to check to see if my things have been stolen."

"What kind of world is this? There are people stealing things even when watching a movie. Hurry up and take a look. Everyone, take a look. Make sure you don't miss anything."

The movie was still playing on the screen, but there was suddenly a commotion in the theater because someone shouted "Catch a thief!" Everyone immediately became nervous and started checking their pockets. After checking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief because none of their things were missing, except for the girl whose things were robbed.

The girl was wearing a yellow blouse and looked well-off from her family. It was obvious at first glance that the thief was targeting her.

At this moment, under the pitying gaze of everyone, the girl burst into tears.

Someone advised, "Don't cry yet, look at what you are missing."

The girl came to her senses and rummaged through her pockets, tears streaming down her face. "My wallet was stolen. There were dozens of dollars in it, which was worth a lot of money. There was also a watch, which was my father's legacy."

"The thief stole all the things belonging to someone else's father. He deserves to die. I saw that he was quite young. He could do anything else but steal things. He should be beaten if caught." Someone cursed angrily.

When the girl heard this, she cried even harder. She cried so hard that she slid from her seat to the ground and sat on the ground crying.

Some girls went up to try to persuade them, but it was no use. After all, the things were really stolen and there was nothing they could say. In addition, the cinema suddenly became noisy, so their companions pulled them away quickly to avoid getting involved in this mess.

"Don't cry yet." Lin Minjun walked over, took out a handkerchief and wiped the little girl's tears, and asked softly, "What's your name?"

"Huang Lixia." The girl said with a sob. She looked only twenty years old.

"Lixia, don't cry for now. The person who just chased out was my target. He is a public security officer. Nothing will happen with him around. Don't cry for now. Let's go out and see what the situation is, okay?" Lin Minjun said again.

Her voice was calm and peaceful, like a pair of big hands, slowly calming Huang Lixia's impatience. She wiped her tears and stood up, supporting Lin Minjun, "Comrade, I feel like my legs are a little weak, can you help me?"

Lin Minjun: "Of course, let's go out and take a look."

Lin Minjun immediately helped Huang Lixia walk out. People outside didn't know what had happened. They only knew that two people passed by, one in front and one behind, like a gust of wind. Lin Minjun asked people and found out that they went to the left, so she took Huang Lixia to chase them to the left.

After walking about 500 meters, we saw a lot of people gathered on the roadside in the distance. Lin Minjun said, "Maybe they have been caught. Let's go check it out."

When she got close to the crowd, she heard people talking about catching a thief. Huang Lixia suddenly came to life and said, "These are my things. Please let them go. I am the owner."

Lin Minjun followed Huang Lixia into the crowd and saw a young man lying on the ground with a bruised face. Yan Lige was holding both of his hands, preventing him from breaking free.

Huang Lixia burst into tears when she saw the thief and kicked him hard, "It was you who stole my things in the cinema just now!"

Yan Li: "Comrade, don't hit anyone. Everyone else, please disperse first. Don't get so close. It's easy to get trampled. Everyone, disperse."

The crowd slowly dispersed. He pointed to a strong young man nearby and said, "Comrade, please help me and hold him. Did you see what I am doing? Just hold his hands to prevent him from struggling. Don't use too much force, or you'll hurt him. I'm going to go over and talk to the owner now."

After arranging everything here, Yan stood up and walked towards the direction where Huang Lixia and Lin Minjun were.

"Comrade, take a look, is this your stuff?" He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, opened it, and inside were some small miscellaneous items, including earrings, a watch, and a wallet.

Huang Lixia took a quick look and said, "This wallet and watch are mine."

"Open it a little and check if anything is missing from your wallet or if your watch has been swapped." Yan Li was breathing heavily, sweat coming out of his hair roots.

While waiting for Huang Lixia to count the money, he looked at Lin Minjun subconsciously, "Are you scared?"

"No, I'm fine." Lin Minjun pursed her lips and smiled.

Huang Lixia counted the money and almost cried with joy. "Nothing is missing! Not a penny is missing, and the watch is not swapped. Comrade, thank you, thank you so much. I was almost scared to death just now, and I couldn't walk. Fortunately, your partner came over and helped me up. She said you were a police officer, and I felt relieved all of a sudden."

Someone nearby heard it and exclaimed, "I was wondering how this young man could be so skilled. It turns out he is a police officer. His actions just now were really brilliant."

"He's very skilled and a good person. He rushed over as soon as he saw the thief. I heard that this thief steals things in the cinema every day. He's so fast that no one can catch him. Today, he finally got rid of this evil for the people."

"That's right. I had my wallet stolen when I went to the movies before. Luckily there wasn't much money in it, but the impact was terrible. Everyone is on guard when they come to the movies, fearing that their wallets will be stolen halfway through the movie. That's unacceptable. Now the thief has been caught. We can watch movies without any worries in the future."

Huang Lixia's eyes were red from crying. She was still shaking as she clutched her wallet. She said vigorously, "Thank you, thank you all. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do. Here are my newly-paid wages and my father's relics. If they were lost, I really don't know what to do."

A bald man with a shiny head next to him smiled and said, "If you ask me, the thief is really harmful to people. Now that he has been caught, I have to give a banner to the public security comrades."

At once, some people responded and said they wanted to send a banner, saying that the thief was so hateful.

Huang Lixia also came to her senses and said excitedly, "Yes, is the place that makes custom banners still open? I'll go and order one now and send it to your unit. Comrade, which police station are you in?"

"No need, catching thieves is our job." Yan Li said.

Everyone started to complain that the police officer was too modest. Huang Lixia was also very anxious. "How can that be? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get the watch back. Giving you the banner is my token of my appreciation."

At this moment, a scream was heard not far away, attracting everyone's attention.
