The next morning, Liu Xiaoyuan woke up early and prepared to help his parents with some household chores.
However, when Liu Xiaoyuan stepped out of the room, he found his mother already sitting in front of the stove in the kitchen, tending the fire, while his father was feeding the chickens and ducks.
With Liu Xiaoyuan back home, Mom seemed to be in a better mood, and her face didn't look as haggard as it had last night.
After breakfast, Liu Xiaoyuan was getting ready to go to the fields with his father. Just then, a police car pulled up in front of Liu Xiaoyuan's house.
After the police car stopped, a policewoman got out of it. More importantly, she was not only young but also very beautiful.
The policewoman was about 1.65 meters tall, with fair skin and a pair of large, expressive eyes. Her beautiful hair was casually tied up with a rubber band, yet she looked so poised and elegant.
Although Liu Xiaoyuan had read many novels before and had imagined the policewomen described in them, when he met this policewoman, he realized that the policewomen described in the novels were not even in the same league as the policewoman walking towards his home.
"It's so beautiful!" Liu Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment.
This policewoman not only has a beautiful face, but also an amazing figure. In addition, her police uniform adds to her heroic and dashing appearance.
"Hello, is this Liu Haimin's home?" the policewoman asked as she approached Liu Xiaoyuan.
The policewoman's voice was beautiful, like a rare orchid in a secluded valley or a nightingale singing.
"Yes." Liu Xiaoyuan nodded, knowing that the policewoman had come to his house because of the money that had gone missing.
"Xiao Yuan, who is it?" Liu Haimin came out of the kitchen carrying a hoe. Upon seeing the policewoman, he immediately put down the hoe, walked excitedly to the policewoman, and asked, "Officer, do you have any leads?"
"Uncle, my name is Lu Siyao, you can just call me Siyao." The policewoman said with a sweet smile, "Uncle, I'm here today to learn about some things."
When Dad heard that they had come to find out what was going on, his excited expression vanished instantly, replaced by disappointment.
"What's there to know?" Dad sighed, pointing to the room on the right. "The thief picked the lock on this room and stole the money!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Siyao immediately went to the doorway and carefully examined the room. Liu Xiaoyuan followed and discovered that a large chunk of the door lock on the door frame had been chipped off by a screwdriver or other hard object, making it easy to open.
Seeing that a large piece had fallen off the door frame, Liu Xiaoyuan could easily guess that the thief must have used a flathead screwdriver or something similar to remove a large chunk from the wooden door frame, making the lock easy to open.
Upon seeing this, Lu Siyao immediately returned to the police car, retrieved a DSLR camera, and carefully took several photos of the door frame.
After entering the room, Lu Siyao looked around and asked, "Where was the money stolen?"
Liu Xiaoyuan pointed to the wardrobe where the clothes were kept and said, "The money was stolen from this wardrobe."
Lu Siyao stared at the 1980s-style standing wardrobe in front of her for a moment, then turned to Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "Can I open it and take a look?"
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "Sure, feel free to look around!"
After opening the wardrobe, Lu Siyao pretended to be thinking, thought carefully for a moment, and then asked, "Besides the wardrobe being rummaged through, has any other place in this room been disturbed?"
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan was a little confused. After his family's money was stolen, his father called the police immediately. When the police arrived, they took photos and collected evidence. Why did Lu Siyao ask again? Was he not a policeman from the town's police station?
Thinking this, Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Lu Siyao with some confusion. When Lu Siyao saw Liu Xiaoyuan's look, she asked, "What kind of look is that?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "After my family's money was lost, my dad called the police immediately. Logically, the police station should already know all of this. Why do you need to ask again?"
Lu Siyao was speechless after Liu Xiaoyuan asked her that question. After a while, she stared at Liu Xiaoyuan with wide eyes and said, "Can't you ask again after you understand? Look carefully, I, Lu Siyao, am a real police officer!"
As she spoke, Lu Siyao angrily handed her ID to Liu Xiaoyuan, making sure he could see it clearly.
"Hmph, did you see it clearly?" Lu Siyao asked, somewhat angrily.
Liu Xiaoyuan realized that Lu Siyao had a spoiled princess attitude and was not suitable to be a police officer at all.
"I see it clearly!" Liu Xiaoyuan nodded.
"Now that you've seen it clearly, answer my question quickly!" Lu Siyao said rudely.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't bother arguing with Lu Siyao and said, "Besides the wardrobe, the thief only rummaged through the things on the bed. By the way, apart from this room's door being pried open, the thief didn't go into any of the other rooms!"
Liu Xiaoyuan decided to explain everything clearly at once to avoid Lu Siyao asking any more questions.
After listening to Liu Xiaoyuan's story, Lu Siyao placed her right hand on her chin, looking thoughtful.
A moment later, Lu Siyao's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands as if she had discovered a major clue, saying, "I know, I know!"
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself, "Could it be that Lu Siyao is the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes or Conan? How did she know who the thief was so quickly?"
Lu Siyao continued, "I understand. This must have been an inside job. The thief must have been to your house before, and he must be quite familiar with your family."
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Liu Xiaoyuan thought Lu Siyao knew who the thief was.
"Alright, from now on, investigate everyone who knows your family. I refuse to believe we can't find the thief!" Lu Siyao said confidently.
Liu Xiaoyuan sighed and shook his head. At this rate, solving the case would be extremely difficult. He knew at least eight or nine out of ten villagers well; did he have to investigate them all?
Furthermore, thieves can easily lie and ask their family members to give false testimony.
Therefore, this approach is unlikely to work!
"Why are you sighing? Why are you shaking your head? Is my method not working?" Lu Siyao put her hands on her hips, looking like a shrew yelling in the street!
Liu Xiaoyuan had already planned it out last night: with the help of the god-level invincible system, he would find the thief, recover the 10,000 yuan that had been stolen from his home, bring the thief to justice, and relieve his mother's anxiety.
Although using the god-level invincible system to only find the thief felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, Liu Xiaoyuan felt it was worth it!
Because the thief was someone they knew! Since they were familiar with their family, they naturally knew their family's situation. So, if someone could still bring themselves to steal their parents' hard-earned money under such circumstances, then that thief isn't human, that's a beast!
Even if he had to use up both of the God-level Invincible System's chances, Liu Xiaoyuan would still bring this thief to justice!
