Chapter 73 Leak
As night fell, Eggsy's happiness today made him go to bed with a sweet smile on his face.
But now it is May, and the weather is a bit hot. Eggsy is only wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts. Because the physical therapist asked him to sleep on his back today, he was not sleeping on his side as he was used to. It was a bit painful to flatten his shoulders, so Eggsy was not sleeping very comfortably.
This caused him to hear some rustling noises in his sleep, which made Eggsy feel as if he had returned to his childhood in the orphanage.
Due to years of disrepair, there are always rats in the orphanage. When you sleep at night, you can hear the rats crawling on the dilapidated beams or wooden walls. The sound of their claws scraping on the rotten wooden boards sounds quite uncomfortable.
Eggsy was a little annoyed by the sound and just wanted to turn over, but he woke up with a startle because his shoulder was pulled. Although he was awake, his mind was still in a daze. He looked at the ceiling of his dormitory and wondered why he was here. Shouldn't he be in the orphanage before?
Then Eggsy suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the door of the room, like something rusty was turning with difficulty.
Eggsy was startled and woke up completely. His dormitory was not big, with only one bed. Between the bed and the door was an open small living room with a desk, a computer, and a bookshelf.
Eggsy raised his head slightly and locked his gaze on the door of his dormitory, because under the cold moonlight outside the window, he seemed to see his door handle moving slowly...
Someone is opening the door to his room!!
Eggsy didn't seem to realize what it meant to be tempted to open his door in the middle of the night, because he almost never locked his door before going to bed. Sometimes his teammates would come to call him to play or visit him in his room, and after they knocked on the door, Eggsy would agree and just push the door open.
Now, because there is a problem with the door lock of his room and the lock always pops open, Eggsy recently locked the door of his room.
Thinking of this, Eggsy squinted his eyes and looked at the door lock, only to find that the lock switch he had turned on before going to bed was slowly turning -
There is a thief!!
Eggsy's thoughts came to him as if they were coming one step at a time. His brain was working very fast at this moment. He immediately grabbed his phone and quickly sent a message to the group: Wake up! There's a thief!
Then Eggsy didn't even wear slippers, he walked barefoot on the floor of his room, and walked slowly to his door. At this time, his brain was also thinking, what should he do? Should he shout for help? Or should he just pick up his weapon and fight the thief at the door?
Eggsy didn't know what to do for a moment, but he knew to protect himself first. Just as he was about to reach out and grab the bench in front of his desk, his arm hurt! He then remembered that his shoulder was injured, and he probably couldn't fight the other party head-on.
So Eggsy has only one choice: to warn loudly!
He didn't have time to think about anything at this moment, because the lock of the door had been picked open. Eggsy was so scared that he almost jumped up, and he slammed the door hard with his weight, hitting the door that had just been opened and the head that had been stuck in!
Eggsy banged on the door to block the other person from coming in, but he never expected that he would actually knock the other person out. The person at the door was in a terrible state, as he was hit hard on the head by the door, and he was knocked backwards and fell down.
The noise directly lit up all the sensor lights in the corridor. Although the man at the door was dizzy from the collision, he didn't have time to cover the wound on his head when he saw the lights were on. He was so scared that he just turned around and ran away.
This happened to be seen by Eggsy who bravely opened the door. He took a deep breath and shouted at the loudest volume he could: "There's a thief! Valdy! Morgan! Come quickly!!!"
When Eggsy shouted, everyone in the dormitory jumped up in fright, especially Vardy and Morgan who were called out. They were so scared that their hair almost exploded!
The noise in the middle of the night not only scared the people in the dormitory, but also frightened the entire dormitory. From the coaching staff and the operation team to the players and substitutes, everyone was frightened by the noise. When everyone came to their senses, they immediately rushed to Eggsy's dormitory on the top floor.
So at 4am in the middle of the night, the lights in Leicester were on, and soon after, one or two police cars even visited. When the police arrived, they realized that Leicester had been robbed tonight.
The thief started from the locker room, prying open all the players' wardrobes with ease and stealing all their personal belongings.
Then he bravely went to the dormitory building, and climbed up floor by floor. He skipped the locked doors and went into the unlocked doors while the players were sleeping, and robbed them of their electronic products, accessories, and cash. Until he finally met Eggsy and was discovered by him.
After investigating, the police were able to basically identify the case as someone inside the club, or someone who was once an employee inside the club, because they knew that the club's surveillance cameras would restart for a few minutes at 3 o'clock due to shift changes, and the thief in the surveillance video was also very smart to cover his face with a mask.
As for why he didn't pry open the doors of other locked doors, but insisted on prying open Eggsy's door? I don't know. I have to catch him and investigate to find out.
This news was not good for those teammates who had lost a lot of money. The police officers of Scotland Yard were always famous for their extremely low efficiency. By the time they found the trouble, their things had probably been sold several times.
The players of Leicester City were destined to be sleepless tonight, so they all came to the restaurant in their pajamas, worrying about their own things. As for why they chose to go to the restaurant, it was because there was a landline in the restaurant, which allowed them to contact people they could contact and deal with some urgent matters.
But even after getting in touch, the teammates still looked worried when they came back.
"…My wedding ring was stolen. How can I explain it when I get back~"
"Stop talking, all my bank cards are linked to my phone, and I haven't locked my phone yet!"
"Brothers, you are not as miserable as me. Several of my girlfriends are on my phone. What if they see this message and come to me..."
“You deserve it.”
"You deserve it! You're playing with so many women, and sooner or later you'll capsize."
"How miserable are you? My wallet was stolen and my passport was in it!"
When it comes to passports, several foreign players are about to cry. Their misery is different, but because of the thieves, no one can sleep well.
In fact, if it was normal, they would not have been unaware of a stranger sneaking into the dormitory. But yesterday was a celebration for Eggsy's 3A start, and almost everyone in Leicester City drank. This caused them to sleep very soundly, so they were completely robbed.
Eggsy was sitting in the innermost room, one hand was fixed by the strap, and the other hand was supporting his face as he looked at his teammates. He was also very worried. But besides being worried, he was also very curious. Why did this thief come to his room?
The next day, the news of the collective theft in Leicester City once again dominated the headlines of major media outlets. This time, it was not just the sports section that dominated the headlines, but the news section also had the news of the theft in Leicester City on the front page. Reporters questioned the local security, which made the local security department very nervous.
The local authorities even opened a direct processing channel for players who lost their passports and other documents to facilitate their daily activities. However, there was still no news about who the thief was. Everyone had a certain understanding of the efficiency of Scotland Yard and understood that these things would probably not be found.
After this incident, everyone in Leicester City was depressed for a long time. Because it was quite troublesome to reissue or re-process these trivial matters, everyone cursed the thief every day and cursed the detectives from Scotland Yard for their lack of progress.
However, Eggsy discussed this matter with other spheres, and it seemed weird no matter how you looked at it.
"In fact, the things he stole were not worth much." Vardy lost a mobile phone and three headphones. Although the headphones were limited edition, the price was not too outrageous. "I don't understand why this guy would take such a big risk to do this."
"Really, it's strange why he had to pry open Eggsy's dorm room in the end. He didn't even pry open the dorm room that was locked before."
Mahrez didn't avoid Eggsy when he said this, and of course Eggsy himself found it strange. But Eggsy didn't have the mind to think about it now. Because of Eggsy's injury, he has to go for physical therapy almost every few days, and there is no chance for him to play. So the club didn't have him in the lineup against Bournemouth this time.
But this does not mean that Eggsy is free. In fact, because of the brace on his arm, he now spends his days alternating between study and physical therapy. In the evening, Ramos and Modric take turns to teach via video. During this period, Eggsy's life is simple and he lives a very comfortable life.
Eggsy's shoulder is getting better with the physical therapy he receives every now and then, but for some reason, he always feels uncomfortable now.
It wasn't a physical feeling, but it felt like someone was staring at him. This made Eggsy very uncomfortable, so he changed his previous habit of taking off clothes casually, and even when doing physical therapy, he insisted on wearing a pair of large sweatpants.
Soon a piece of news confirmed Eggsy's idea.
The reason was that someone posted a group of photos online, and the person in the photos was Eggsy. To be more precise, it was a group of photos of Eggsy after physical therapy.
In the photo, Eggsy's head is covered in sweat, his face is ruddy from exercise, and his upper body is covered in sweat and muscles. Although he is wearing sports shorts, his 150cm long legs are so beautiful, long and straight that they attract everyone who sees the photos!
The photos also include Eggsy standing and stretching his body after physical therapy, which undoubtedly shows his slender figure and the hazy and slender beauty between youth and adulthood.
There was also a picture of Eggsy sitting on a chair to rest. The sunlight almost carved out the most beautiful boy. With the support of crystal sweat beads, Eggsy's handsome face and light golden eyes were like a god!
Then the other party wrote this sentence behind these photos: They are so beautiful that I really can’t bear to enjoy them alone.
