Baozhu's mother panicked and followed after him, sobbing.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rushed as fast as they could, but they were still a step too late. Lin Baozhu had already been taken into the interrogation room.
On the way back, in an attempt to make amends, Scarface and One-Ear revealed the whereabouts of Skinny Monkey and Tall Guy before the police could even ask them.
That morning, all five were arrested and brought to justice!
The interrogations were conducted separately.
It's hard to say whether there was collusion, but the testimonies of the individuals are remarkably consistent.
According to the scarred man, they met Lin Baozhu while playing cards.
Three days ago, Lin Baozhu approached them and promised to give each of them one hundred yuan to help them find something.
One hundred yuan is equivalent to three months' wages for an ordinary worker, and since they were short of money, they agreed.
After that, they staked out the Jiang family's residence for two days.
For some reason, when they tried to break the lock and go inside that night, they discovered that someone had already taken action before them.
When Lin Baozhu tried to renege on his debt, they were so angry that they beat him up.
To make up for the losses, the group packed up everything else left in the house.
They just didn't expect things to escalate so much, even making it into the newspapers!
Scarface and One-Ear sensed something was wrong. They conspired to extort money from Lin Baozhu and then go to another place to lay low for a while.
They were just unlucky; they had barely arrived at the residential compound and hadn't even had a chance to enter when they were caught.
As for what exactly the Jiang family lost or who stole it, they genuinely had no idea.
Lin Baozhu's statement was similar to theirs, except that he hesitated for a moment when asked what he was looking for.
Right now, all they have are some old clothes and shoes, which aren't worth much money. But if they were after ten thousand yuan, that would be a much bigger crime.
So he didn't mention the ten thousand yuan at all, only saying that he was short of money recently, and knowing that the Jiang family was well-off, he thought he would come and try his luck.
The police officers aren't stupid.
They came at the worst possible time, right when the adults in the family were out of town and the victim had just withdrawn the money.
All of this is just too much of a coincidence!
Furthermore, the Jiang and Lin families live more than ten miles apart. How did Lin Baozhu know that the victim withdrew the money that day?
How did he know that the money was in a brown paper bag?
To say that no one tipped them off is a lie!
Once he had a suspicion in mind, the police officer didn't play games with him.
In those days, there was no rule against beating prisoners.
If one beating isn't enough, then two beatings will do!
Lin Baozhu couldn't handle it. When he heard that if he didn't confess honestly, he might be shot, he immediately became obedient.
At this time, Lin Yueru, who had just returned from northern Jiangsu, was unaware of this.
She has been completely sold off by her own good nephew!
