The kitchen knife, cutting board, chopsticks, and bowls were all taken away! Take them all!
Upon closer inspection, she noticed there was even a refrigerator! That's great, they've prepared all of that for her.
She took everything from the kitchen cabinets, as long as it was within her sight and could be stored in her spatial storage.
She basically emptied the first floor; if it weren't for the noise from dismantling the door, she would have taken the door as well.
The second floor was covered with wooden flooring, but judging from the wear and tear, there were only two places she frequented: the study and the bedroom. Lin Yuxi went to the other rooms first and took away everything she liked. With a little renovation, who would recognize this place?
She had already determined the location of the study when she climbed over the wall. Since the doors and windows were locked, she entered through the front door and easily pried it open. The study was filled with an entire wall of books, but she didn't even look at them. She simply put away whatever she touched.
The study was simply furnished with a cabinet, an office desk and chair, a leather sofa, and a radio. Even the ceramic cups on the desk were rusty.
Thinking that there would be no sofa to sit on after going to the countryside, she took the sofa with her, and naturally didn't leave the table, chairs and radio behind as well.
But to our surprise, we discovered a hidden door behind the sofa, and upon closer inspection, it even had a lock!
Once opened, the entire safe was embedded inside the cabinet, and in front of you was an old-fashioned combination lock that required both a key and a combination to open.
Five minutes later, a whole cabinet of gold bars came into view, at least twenty or thirty! There were also several envelopes below!
She took it all. Gold is usually hard to sell, but as long as it's melted down and remade, it's not a problem. After making sure there was nothing valuable in the study, she left quickly.
She simply took the flowerpots that were decorating the courtyard when she passed by.
At that moment, the dog in the courtyard was still tightly chained. She fed the dog some rage medication, a short-acting anesthetic that would only last for about four hours. Then she unchained the dog, put it away, and slipped out of the courtyard, taking the chicken with her.
Looking at the map, Lin Yuxi drew a circle around her location; it would be too obvious to steal from wealthy families.
With time running out, she stole from about ten households on the street, taking whatever was missing: instant food, curtains, windows, water tanks, etc.
Finally, she circled around and returned home. She was drenched in sweat, which streamed down her forehead and soaked her dark hair. She had just returned and was a little hesitant because she didn't have enough time. She needed to get used to her body. If it weren't for the tight schedule, it would have been her time to show off her skills.
At that time, things were much more precious. The saying "human life is as cheap as grass" was no exaggeration. While others were feasting on meat and fish, ordinary people could only eat coarse food and wild vegetables.
Lin Yuxi stood at the gate of her own yard and began to pick the lock.
After all, several houses that were burgled tomorrow showed signs of lock picking. If her house was burgled, she couldn't overlook these details. After picking the lock, she even climbed over the courtyard wall to get in.
Following the same level of thievery she had stolen from other families, she also pried open the lock on the door of her own study, rearranged the books inside, and broke the lock on the window.
She had already put away all the blankets and clothes from the wardrobe during the day; now all that was left was to set up the 'crime scene'!
The quilts and clothes in the wardrobe were also turned upside down and made a mess, especially in the study. The table on the first floor was missing, and only two chairs remained.
The next day, the streets were bathed in a cold white light before dawn, silently tensing through the gaps in the tree trunks, as a fierce wind blew, making the dry branches rustle.
Several shouts of abuse rang out from the street.
"Damn it! Which shameless thief stole my water tank!"
"Oh my god, that heartless bastard stole my hen!"
"They have hands and feet but don't use them for work; they just come here to do these crooked and evil things!"
"These petty thieves are definitely not the only ones stealing."
"Go call the police! Let's go call the police!"
As dawn broke through the glass windows into the Lin family courtyard, the main gate was ruthlessly kicked open, the iron gate was on the verge of collapse, and a large group of people rushed in.
"Surround the house and don't let anyone out!"
