The Chinese New Year was just a few months away, and Zheng Xinyi thought she should buy herself some new clothes to add some festive atmosphere. She took out some money and cloth coupons, locked the door, and went to the girl's cloth shop again, delivered the cloth to the tailor shop, and then skipped back. But as soon as she entered the courtyard, she was dumbfounded. The door of Liu Yun's house was open. She remembered that she had clearly locked the door when she left.
A bad premonition suddenly burst into her mind. She took a few quick steps and found that the lock on the door was broken. The stone used to chisel open the lock was still on the ground. Zheng Xinyi panicked and ran into the house. All the packages on the table were gone and turned upside down. The money and bills from the ginseng pawn were also gone.
"Uncle, have you seen any suspicious people enter this yard?" Zheng Xinyi ran to the convenience store and asked the uncle who had been guarding there.
Seeing her ugly face, the old man asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
"My aunt's house was robbed." Zheng Xinyi said with a gloomy face.
"What?" The old man's eyes widened as he hurried over to see what was going on. He glanced at Zheng Xinyi, who was standing there like a statue, and whispered a warning, "Girl, you've been spending money so lavishly these past few days. I'm afraid someone must have been watching you."
Zheng Xinyi frowned slightly and immediately thought of Xiaomao. She angrily went to knock on his door. Xiaomao, who was eating melon seeds inside, heard the knock on the door, quickly hid the package, picked up the broom and swept the melon seed shells on the ground.
After not seeing the person open the door for a long time, Zheng Xinyi put her ear to the door and listened. There was clearly movement inside. Zheng Xinyi leaned over the window and looked. He was busy sweeping the floor. She quickly reached out and patted the window: "Do you want to destroy the evidence?"
The old man came over and grabbed Zheng Xinyi: "Kid, call the police!"
Only after the police arrived did Xiao Mao open the door. He had already cleared the sunflower seed shells from the floor. He yawned and bowed to the police in a polite manner, saying, "The military commander is here."
"Someone reported you for theft." The police said seriously.
Xiao Mao looked aggrieved: "Master Jun, I am innocent! I am a good citizen."
Zheng Xinyi glared at him viciously and took out the package he had hidden. "Here's the evidence. You've been sneaking around me these past few days. I should have known you had bad intentions."
"I bought these things myself." Xiao Mao completely ignored Zheng Xinyi and said to the police.
"You..." Zheng Xinyi's eyes widened, she was so angry that she couldn't speak. She turned and looked at the police: "It's obvious that you stole this."
Xiao Mao politely lit cigarettes for the policemen and presented all the packages to them: "I really bought these myself."
"Besides these things, do you have any other witnesses?" the police asked.
The police were clearly trying to protect Xiao Mao, and Zheng Xinyi got anxious at the time. She pointed at Xiao Mao and cursed: "It's obvious that you stole my aunt's house, you bad guy, thief."
Xiao Mao hid behind the police with a terrified look on his face.
"What are you doing?" The policeman pushed her out of the house fiercely. "I think he's a good citizen, but you're acting like a little bitch. Come with me to the police station."
Xiao Mao had a smug look on his face, and he muttered with a smile, "You're still a little too young to fight me."
The neighbors of the courtyard came out to watch the excitement, watching Zheng Xinyi being taken away by the police. The aunt next door said, "Let's go to the factory and inform Mr. and Mrs. Huang!"
