Chapter 376
When the police took out not only the wooden clamps and other tools used in the crime and the money of the am from the pockets of the two pickpockets, but also found two other black wallets, the people around exclaimed in surprise.
These two pickpockets were dressed in ordinary clothes, but their eyes were cunning.
At this moment, seeing that the truth had been revealed, their faces turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, but they still pretended to be calm and shouted:
"These two wallets are ours, really!"
However, given their previous thefts, their excuses seemed so weak and unbelievable in public.
A police officer frowned, his eyes revealing majesty. He shouted loudly, "Whether it's yours or not, you must come with us to the police station now! If the owner comes to report the case, the punishment will vary depending on the amount of theft. Don't hesitate, let's go!"
The pickpocket was taken away dejectedly. The people present felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this scene. They became more cautious towards each other and unconsciously held their wallets tighter in their arms.
As the end of the year approaches, petty thefts are becoming more and more frequent. For cases where the amount of theft is not large, the offenders will probably be detained for a few days and then released.
These pickpockets are used to this kind of business. For them, being detained for a few days is like commonplace. After being released, they will most likely return to their old ways and continue stealing.
Everyone is well aware of this and can only secretly remind themselves to keep a close eye on their wallets when going out in the future and never give thieves any opportunity to steal.
After returning to the store, Su Miao and Su Yu sat in the corner, enthusiastically discussing the pickpocket's stealing techniques.
Although Su Miao felt disgusted by the pickpocket's behavior and his face was full of disgust, he had to admit that there are top talents in every field.
Su Yu's face was full of excitement, and he gestured while saying, "Miao Miao, did you see that? The thief's technique was really fast.
It was like he had practiced the art of shadowless hand. The wooden clamp seemed to have eyes in his hand. Swish! He clamped it out.
Su Miao nodded in agreement, frowning as he analyzed, "Yes, and they are very patient. They kept their eyes on that Am and took action when her attention was distracted.
He didn't succeed the first time, but he still didn't give up. If it were an ordinary person, he would have changed his target long ago."
The old customers nearby heard them chatting so enthusiastically and asked curiously, and then joined in the conversation with great interest.
A gray-haired old man put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly:
"It's considered rare now. There were more in the past. There were even people who trained specifically for this and made a living by relying on this fast, accurate and ruthless skill.
They specifically target crowded, bustling places where people are less vigilant. Look at the market today, so many people are coming and going, all busy buying New Year goods. Who would have thought there were thieves hiding around them?
A young man nearby also agreed: "Yes, I think they are quite good at disguising themselves. At first glance, they look no different from ordinary people. If you don't have good eyesight, you really won't be able to detect them.
They also work very well together, one doing the work while the other keeps watch. If they succeed, they can probably move the stolen goods in the blink of an eye, making it impossible to catch them."
Su Miao nodded and said, "When I saw them making gestures, they must have been communicating the situation. After confirming the target, they took decisive action. We have to be more careful when we go out in the future."
The old man said, "It's a good thing you reported it to the police. If they had rushed in to arrest him, some gang might have come to retaliate against you."
The episode of catching a pickpocket ended here, and Su Miao talked about this incident when he was chatting with Uncle Si.
Uncle Si made a small shoulder bag for Su Miao out of cowhide so that she could carry it when going out.
This small bag is cleverly designed with a zipper, which allows it to be moved to the front. It is fashionable and beautiful, and most importantly, it can prevent pickpockets.
Su Miao went to school with this small bag on her back, which attracted the attention of her classmates again. This time, Uncle Si's shop not only sold clothes, but also developed the business of handmade bags.
Soon it was the 29th day of the lunar year. As usual, after finishing the dinner business, all the employees of the store gathered together and had a delicious New Year's Eve dinner in a lively atmosphere.
This year, including the workshop employees, the number of people is much larger than in previous years, so we set up two tables.
The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, and the aroma was everywhere.
Everyone was holding a red envelope in their hands, with happy smiles on their faces, so beautiful that they couldn't stop smiling.
After the adjustment this year, Su Ji Food Shop has implemented a shift system during ordinary holidays.
However, Su Miao and Su Yuan were discussing closing the store for the New Year holiday this year.
They want to wait until they have trained enough talent before implementing a year-round shift system, which will ensure the normal operation of the store and allow employees to have enough rest time.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Uncle Huzi came to pick them up again. The car was parked in front of the store. A large pile of New Year's goods was piled on the side, including beautifully packaged cakes, fresh fruits, and various meats. It took a while to move everything.
Of course, the most important thing cannot be forgotten. Su Miao carried the small jar of the old brine into the car and placed it at his feet.
Su Yuanzheng said, "Huzi, thank you for your hard work. Just like last year, send my nephew and niece back to the village first. Miaomiao and I will go back to Ning County to clean the house."
The group returned to Sujia Village and unloaded all the New Year's goods. Then my second aunt came over and said:
"Don't bother running back to clean the house. My second brother and I have already done it for you. Just go back and stay there on the third day of the New Year. Come back and enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner!"
Su Yuanzheng stopped as he was about to get into the car, his face full of gratitude as he said, "Oh, sister-in-law, you and brother are so busy right now, why are you still sweeping the house for me? Just wait for Miaomiao and I to get back and do it."
"It's not a big deal. We are quick and can finish it in no time. Let's go! Miaomiao, second aunt is going to fry the fish. It tastes best when it's fresh out of the pan!" Second aunt took Su Miao's hand and said enthusiastically.
In that case, Uncle Huzi returned with an empty car.
Oh no! It wasn't an empty car either. Su Yuanzheng had also prepared a few boxes of New Year gifts for him.
As soon as the others got home, they immediately joined the team in preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Some were washing vegetables, some were cutting meat, and some were watching the fire for cooking rice dumplings. The kitchen was a busy scene.
The New Year’s Eve dinner is usually eaten earlier, usually starting at three or four in the afternoon. It is only 11 in the morning now, so there is actually still a lot of time.
However, according to custom, after the chicken is stewed, it must be taken to worship the mountain first, so preparations must be started in advance.
Only the group's favorite Miaomiao could squat beside the oil pan and watch the second aunt frying fish.
The oil in the pot sizzles, and the cut fish pieces are coated with batter and put into the pot. Golden bubbles appear instantly, and soon the aroma spreads.
