Volume 1 Chapter 123 There is a thief, a farce
She'd better not act on her own, otherwise it would be bad if she ended up embarrassing her daughter.
Although Sheng's mother often has wild thoughts and a bad temper.
But she is a person who listens to advice!
This is something that many mothers cannot do. They always feel that their children should always be under their control.
But Sheng's mother is different. Although she will nag, she will never stop her children from choosing their future.
After the meal, everyone had nothing to do, so they all lay down on the bed to rest. Father Sheng took Grandpa and Grandma Sheng to the bathroom, while Mother Sheng and Sheng Wanyan stayed behind to look after things.
As soon as Sheng's father and others came back, the mother and daughter went to the toilet to get some water.
There is a kettle in the soft sleeper car for everyone to get water.
"Mom, you go first, I'll get in line to get some water."
Seeing that water was at the toilet door, Sheng's mother felt a little relieved and hurried to the toilet.
You have to queue up for this toilet as well. One person queues up to get water and another queues up to use the toilet. It is best to get water first and then go find another person so that you don't have to queue up again.
In that era, people did not have the awareness of queuing up consciously like in later generations. Basically, they would just go through if there was someone they knew in front of them.
Fortunately, Sheng Wanyan was quick to act, and by the time she finished fetching water, it was almost Sheng's mother's turn.
Sheng's mother hurriedly called her over, fearing that it would be her turn and she would have to wait again.
The mother and daughter returned to the carriage. Father Sheng watched them close the door before going back to the next room.
Five days had passed unknowingly, and the family was safe and sound, just waiting to arrive in Kyoto tomorrow.
"Catch the thief!!!"
"Catch the thief! My money, all my money has been stolen!"
In the corridor, an old lady was sitting on the ground, slapping her thighs constantly, and her voice became hoarse from crying.
Everyone rushed over to see what had happened, and after listening for a while they found out that someone's money had been stolen.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu~ All my money was stolen. That's all I have!"
The conductor also hurried over, and when he heard that the passenger's money had been stolen, he immediately helped her search around in her carriage.
"What's going on outside?"
Sheng Wanyan's family also heard the sound. Sheng's father opened the curtains and looked. Wasn't that old lady in the same compartment with him?
When I got on the bus, I kindly asked her if she wanted to switch beds with me and sleep on the upper bunk.
After all, she was standing at the door, making her an easy target. She only had one set of clothes, so there was nothing to steal.
But the old lady thought that he didn't want to bother climbing up and down, and was trying to trick her into changing seats, so she scolded him.
Now the money was really stolen by the pickpocket.
"My carriage had an accident. I'm going to go out and take a look. You guys stay in the carriage."
The conductor will start checking and will definitely question the people in the same carriage, so naturally you have to cooperate.
As soon as Sheng's father returned to the next carriage, the conductor began to question him.
"Where do you keep your money?"
The old lady cried and pointed at her luggage bag, which she had put inside the inner layer.
"Just put it in this inner layer, and it will be gone when you wake up."
"How much is it in total?"
"There are 112.6 yuan."
"Besides the money, is there anything missing? Is there anyone else missing in the car?"
When other people in the carriage heard it, they immediately went to check their belongings, and found that everyone's things were fine.
When the old lady heard that she was the only one who lost all her property, she cried even harder.
"Wow, wow, wow ~ Why are you staring at me? There are so many people in the car."
"That's all my wealth. What will I do if I get off the bus? What will I do if I go back?"
The old lady slapped her thigh and wiped her tears, while the conductor carefully questioned the other three passengers in the carriage.
No one heard any noise last night. The thief is not stupid. He must have come out when everyone was sleeping the deepest.
"Did you steal my money? That's right!"
"We are in the same carriage. It's easy for you to steal my money!"
The other three people in the carriage looked gloomy when they heard this. Was he trying to rip them off because he couldn't find his money?
"You didn't take good care of it yourself, you just put it in your luggage, and now you're blaming us when it's gone!"
"That's right! Good intentions are not rewarded. It's a pity that we still pity you."
"You... who else but you? It must be you!"
"Conductor, go and look through their bags. My money must be with them."
The old lady held the conductor's hand tightly and asked him to search the backpacks of the other three passengers.
"Are you sick? Why do you want to go through our things just because your own money is missing?"
"That's right. What kind of person is this? His own money is missing, and he's trying to drag others into trouble."
The conductor was a little surprised to hear her request. Anyone who could afford a soft sleeper must have a well-off family and good upbringing, and would not do such a thing.
"Ma'am, you don't have any actual evidence. We have no right to touch the passengers' belongings."
When the old lady heard this, she immediately started cursing: "My money is missing, and this is how you help me find it?"
"What a shitty conductor, you're just a coward. If you don't come, I'll do it myself! Get out of here!"
The old lady immediately got up, pushed away the conductor who was blocking her way, and immediately picked up the luggage of the person in the bed next to her.
"Are you sick? Why are you rummaging through my luggage?!"
The person in the next bed immediately snatched his luggage back, started arguing with her, and even started fighting.
The conductor walked over with a gloomy face and pulled the two people apart, and immediately warned the lady: "Auntie! If you insist on doing this, we have the right to ask you to get off the train at the next stop."
The old lady became even angrier when she heard this. Her money was stolen in one carriage, but everyone else was safe and sound. She didn't believe it.
The old lady looked around, thought of something, and immediately pointed at Sheng's father: "He stole it!"
"It must be him. He is never in the carriage during the day and only comes back at night when he is asleep."
"He must have gone to discuss the time of attack with his companions. It's him!"
When Mr. Sheng heard this, he was really furious. How could this person be so shameless that he would frame someone whenever he caught him?
"Comrade, is what this lady said true?"
The conductor asked Sheng's father. Although Sheng's father hadn't taken a shower for several days, his clothes had no patches at all, and the conductor didn't think he was that kind of person.
"It is true that I am not in the carriage during the day and come back at night when I sleep."
"Look! He admitted that he was the one who stole my money! Catch him now!"
The aunt immediately climbed onto Sheng's father's bed and started searching, but there was nothing on his bed except a set of clothes.
"How could there not be? How is it possible?"
"It must have been given to an accomplice, that's for sure."
The conductor frowned and began to ask Sheng's father where he went during the day.
