Lu Siyao stood aside, eager to see how Liu Xiaoyuan would solve the case and catch the thief. But she found Liu Xiaoyuan standing there dumbfounded, not moving an inch.
"Hmph! Standing here like you're solving a case? That's wishful thinking!" Lu Siyao now regrets making this bet with Liu Xiaoyuan because she believes that Liu Xiaoyuan has no chance of solving the case or catching the thief.
Making a bet with Liu Xiaoyuan is a complete waste of my time!
"Hey, stop standing here pretending to be mysterious. I don't have time to waste here with you. I'm going back to the station to find out what's going on and see if there are any new discoveries!" Lu Siyao said to Liu Xiaoyuan.
Then, with a smile on his face, he said to Liu Haimin, "Uncle, I'm leaving now!"
"Take care!" Although Liu Haimin was dissatisfied that the police had not solved the case, he still replied politely.
"Wait!" Liu Xiaoyuan called out in time.
Lu Siyao stopped and turned to look at Liu Xiaoyuan, asking, "What's wrong? You're not going to tell me that you figured out who the thief is just by thinking about it, are you?"
Lu Siyao's words were clearly sarcastic; she didn't believe Liu Xiaoyuan knew who the thief was, unless the sun rose in the west.
"Congratulations on getting it right, but unfortunately there's no reward!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Liu Haimin's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked, "Xiao Yuan, do you really know who stole the money from the house?"
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled at his father and nodded, saying, "Dad, I already know who stole our money."
"That's great, that's really great!" Liu Haimin was excited and thrilled. At this moment, he didn't care how Liu Xiaoyuan knew who the thief was. What made him happy was that after catching the thief, the lost 10,000 yuan could be recovered, and his wife's worries would be cured.
Lu Siyao was surprised at first, then looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with suspicion and said, "Hey, you didn't just randomly call someone a thief to win this bet, did you?"
To be honest, Lu Siyao absolutely refused to believe that Liu Xiaoyuan could deduce the thief just by standing there and reasoning.
"Do I look like that kind of person to you?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked back.
Lu Siyao touched her chin and said, "I think it looks a bit like it!"
Liu Xiaoyuan was sweating buckets! How could someone as handsome as me be that kind of person!
After calming down from his initial excitement, Liu Haimin looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "Xiaoyuan, do you really know who the thief is?"
Clearly, Dad didn't believe Liu Xiaoyuan knew who the thief was so quickly.
Faced with his father and Lu Siyao's doubts, Liu Xiaoyuan was confident and said, "Let's go, we'll go to the thief's house now!"
Ever since he used the God-level Invincible System to teach Zhang Rongrong and Tang Hao, that despicable couple, a lesson, Liu Xiaoyuan had a deep faith in the God-level Invincible System.
This time, since the past god witnessed the entire process of Liu Jun's crime, Liu Jun will have no way to escape!
Seeing the confident look on Liu Xiaoyuan's face, Lu Siyao couldn't help but wonder, "Does this guy really know who the thief is? That's impossible."
Despite her doubts, Lu Siyao followed Liu Xiaoyuan to verify the truth, and Liu Haimin naturally followed behind.
Liu Jun's house is less than 200 meters away from Liu Xiaoyuan's house, so it took less than two minutes to walk to Liu Jun's door.
"Xiao Yuan, are you saying that Liu Jun is the one who stole the money from home?" Standing at Liu Jun's door, Liu Haimin clearly didn't believe the result.
Actually, it wasn't that Liu Haimin didn't believe the outcome, but rather that he didn't want to believe it. If Liu Jun really was the thief, then Liu Haimin and Liu Jun's father, Liu Songyan, would probably be unable to remain friends.
“Dad, I know what you’re thinking,” Liu Xiaoyuan said to his father. “If Uncle Songyan tries to distance himself from you because of this, then you’re better off not having that kind of friend!”
Lu Siyao, who was already starving and couldn't wait any longer, interjected, "Hey, you're saying the thief is the guy named Liu Jun in this house?"
Liu Xiaoyuan turned to look at Lu Siyao and said, "Don't keep calling me 'hey,' I have a name, my name is Liu Xiaoyuan."
Lu Siyao smiled at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "I know, but I think calling him 'Hey' sounds better."
Liu Xiaoyuan was speechless. He glanced at Lu Siyao and said to his father, "Dad, if you're too embarrassed to go in, then I'll bring the police in!"
Liu Haimin thought for a moment and said, "Come on, I'll go in with you!"
Upon entering Liu Jun's home, Liu Jun's mother was watching TV with her legs crossed, cracking sunflower seeds, while Liu Songyan was out doing errands.
Liu Songyan was a shrewd businessman from a well-off family. However, he was so focused on making money that he neglected to educate his son, Liu Jun. As a result, Liu Jun became a hoodlum.
Unfortunately, Liu Jun's mother dotes on him excessively. If anyone dares to say anything unpleasant about Liu Jun in front of her, she will make him suffer like a shrew.
When Liu Jun's mother, Zhang Xiaoju, saw Liu Xiaoyuan and his son walk in with a policeman, she immediately stood up from her chair and said, "Brother Haimin, what are you doing?"
Knowing that his father was not one to talk back, Liu Xiaoyuan spoke up first: "Auntie, we're here to catch a thief."
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Zhang Xiaoju gave a forced smile and said, "Why are you arresting a thief in our house? Did the thief break into my house?"
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoju then said to Liu Haimin, "Brother Haimin, I'm also saddened that your family had 10,000 yuan stolen from us. However, since the money was stolen, the police should solve the case as soon as possible. What do you mean by bringing your son and the police to my house today? Do you think my family stole your money?"
“Brother Haimin, you know my family’s situation. My Songyan can easily earn over 100,000 yuan a year. Do you think my family would be short of money?”
You could tell from Zhang Xiaoju's tone that a sense of superiority was bursting out.
“Auntie, it’s true that your family is wealthy, but that doesn’t mean no one does petty theft,” Liu Xiaoyuan said cryptically.
Zhang Xiaoju wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that Liu Xiaoyuan was referring to her beloved son, Liu Jun.
Over the years, Liu Jun had been involved in petty theft and other illegal activities, earning him a notorious reputation. Yet, Zhang Xiaoju couldn't bear to hear a single bad word about her son from anyone.
"Xiao Yuan, how dare you talk like that? How dare you talk like that? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm not done with you!" Zhang Xiaoju started throwing a tantrum.
"What's all the noise about? Can't a person get any sleep?" At that moment, Liu Jun's impatient voice came from upstairs.
Zhang Xiaoju immediately put on a smile and called out to Liu Jun's room upstairs, "Jun'er, it's okay, you go to sleep, Mom won't disturb your sleep, won't disturb your sleep."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoju fawning over Liu Jun like a servant, a phrase popped into Liu Xiaoyuan's mind: "A doting mother spoils her son!"
