The captain glanced at Xie Feng, who was being restrained.
Why doesn't he believe she's afraid?
In her excitement, she knocked the man down. He had never seen a woman so excited that she could knock down a grown man.
Five hundred yuan is no small sum, and the captain, still uncertain, asked again, "You mean he stole five hundred yuan from you?"
Su Li nodded; "After he came, I lost five hundred yuan, which was all my savings, and now I have nothing left. Captain, you have to help me!" Su Li said without batting an eye.
If someone dares to steal from her house, she won't hesitate to smear them.
Upon hearing this, the captain gasped. She knew Su Li was rich, judging from her usual diet and work, but she never expected her to have so much.
He looked at Xie Feng. This young man usually seemed to have plenty of money! How could he steal money from Su Zhiqing?
"I didn't steal her money."
The captain gestured for Su Li to release Xie Feng; "Then why were you at Su Li's house in the middle of the night?"
"I followed someone in because I saw them sneaking into Su Li's courtyard."
Suli sneered, "But all I saw was you rummaging through my room. Don't tell me you were looking for that person, were you?"
Xie Feng: "What if I said yes?"
When he said that, not only did others not believe him, but even the brigade leader did not believe him.
"Xie Zhiqing, tell me honestly, what exactly did you do at Su Li's house?" The brigade leader didn't really believe Xie Feng would steal money.
After all, he could tell over the past six months that his family was well-off.
Su Li also looked at him meaningfully, wanting to see how many more shameless things this man could say.
Xie Feng looked at the captain and said, "I really saw someone enter Su Li's house before I went in. I was worried that person might harm her. As for the things, I didn't rummage through them; it was the person in front of me who did it."
Su Li was speechless. This guy could really spout nonsense. "But I saw you go through my closet and desk with my own eyes. How do you explain that?"
“You’re seeing things. That person isn’t me at all. When I entered your room, I smelled a strange fragrance. I think it must be a drug that can cause hallucinations. I heard about this kind of drug when I was in Beijing. It can cause hallucinations if inhaled.”
“When I saw that the man came out from the educated youth settlement, his suspicious behavior aroused my suspicion, so I followed him.”
"So I followed him here. I was worried that he might do something that would harm Su Li, so I went in with him. When I got inside, I saw that the house had been ransacked and the window was open. I think he must have climbed out of the window."
"I was a little worried after that person left, so I lifted Su Li's blanket, afraid that something might have happened to her?"
"When I lifted the blanket, I saw that she was somewhat delirious and kicked me a few times. Otherwise, how could I, a grown man, be subdued by her?"
As he spoke, Xie Feng looked up at the brigade leader and said, "Brigade leader, I suggest you search the educated youth settlement. I estimate that the person hasn't had time to move the drugs yet. If you search now, you can catch him off guard."
If Su Li hadn't run out of Chinese medicine at the time, she almost would have believed his lies.
The brigade leader basically believed Xie Feng's words; "Are you sure that person came from the educated youth settlement?"
Xie Feng nodded, and I witnessed it firsthand.
The brigade leader then looked at Su Li and asked, "Xie Zhiqing said there was a strange fragrance in your room at the time. Did you smell it?"
Su Li nodded; "There was indeed a smell, but I covered my mouth and nose as soon as I smelled it. There was no Chinese medicine at all. I looked around the room and there was only Xie Feng in my room. There was no one else. Xie Feng was the one who came to my house to steal."
Hearing Su Li's confident tone, the captain was a little confused. Knowing Su Li as he did, he knew she wouldn't stoop to lying.
But Xie Feng's words sounded so convincing that he really didn't know who to believe.
Xie Feng's cold gaze swept over Su Li; "You said it yourself, you took some drugs. When I saw you, you were still confused and calling me Hua Nian."
"Besides, if that person dared to drug someone, they must have come prepared. If the captain goes to the location with information and searches it, we'll find out who did it."
The brigade leader thought it made sense, so he said to Lu Huai, "Lu Huai, go and call the people from the brigade headquarters and a few big men from the village over. Let's search this educated youth settlement together."
Upon hearing this, a hint of smugness flashed across Xie Feng's eyes, which Su Li happened to catch.
“Captain, I really saw Xie Feng break into my room and rummage through my wardrobe and desk. I was fully conscious and I didn’t have any Chinese medicine at the time.”
"Oh? Comrade Su, does that mean you think I'm lying?"
Su Li remained noncommittal: "But what I saw at the time was you going through my things, and you pulled back my blanket."
Xie Feng chuckled softly, "I told you that medicine was potent, didn't I? You even called me 'Hua Nian' back then."
As he spoke, he looked at the brigade leader and said with a smile, "Back then, Su, the educated youth, even mistook me for his girlfriend, constantly calling me 'Huanian, Huanian.'"
“If you don’t believe me, I have another witness. I ran into Qin Hong when I left the educated youth settlement.”
"At the time, he told me to be careful. If you don't believe me, you can ask him to come and testify for me."
Soon, Lu Huai arrived here with his men.
The brigade leader briefly explained the situation to everyone, and then the group headed towards the educated youth settlement.
Most of the educated youth were asleep at this time, so the brigade leader had people wake them up one by one and bring them to the courtyard of the educated youth settlement.
The people who were called up looked confused.
Zhang Xia yawned, looking sleepy, and said, "Captain, why did you wake us up in the middle of the night when we shouldn't be sleeping?"
Other educated youth chimed in, saying, "Yes! We have to go to work tomorrow, can't we talk about this tomorrow?"
The brigade leader apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry, it's like this, today Su Zhiqing's house was burgled, and someone even put banned drugs in her house."
“Su, the educated youth, also lost 500 yuan. Xie Zhiqing said that someone went to the educated youth settlement, to her house, so I plan to search the educated youth settlement to see if anyone is carrying that kind of banned drug.”
This type of drug is generally prohibited by the state. If it is found at the checkpoint, the captain plans to hand it over to the police directly. There will be no leniency.
Only then did everyone understand what had happened. They knew Su Li was rich, but they never expected that she would steal 500 yuan.
This thief is incredibly audacious; he actually dared to drug someone.
The brigade leader led the men and the male educated youth from the educated youth settlement to search the male educated youth dormitory first.
He was impartial, checking each bed one by one.
Soon, the Southern educated youth indeed found a packet of medicine powder.
The captain's face changed. Li Liang had witnessed the packet of powder being found under his pillow. He had no idea where the powder came from or how it ended up in his possession.
