"It's nothing." Ye Li stared at the table in front of him for a long time. "Except for a few pieces of dust on it, there's nothing else."
Jiang Xun pursed his lips and said, "I cleaned this table this morning. It was spotless, but now it's covered in dust."
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, but soon understood: "You mean... there was a thief in our house?"
Jiang Xun nodded slightly: "Yeah."
"No way?" Ye Li found it a little unbelievable. Everyone lived in the same compound and almost all of them were colleagues in the same unit. No matter whose family did such a thing, it would be very embarrassing and it could not be concealed.
"It's possible." Jiang Xun said affirmatively, pointing to the book he had originally placed on the table, "The position of this book has changed. It's not where I originally placed it."
"You remember correctly?"
Jiang Xun shook his head: "No. I remember it very clearly! Li Li, I was a scout in the army."
The predecessor of the special forces in the 21st century is the scout.
...
...
Ye Li understands this.
Scouts are very powerful. They are selected from ordinary soldiers through layers of selection and have undergone various high-intensity and brutal training. Their reconnaissance and combat capabilities are top-notch.
Jiang Xun used to be an excellent scout in the army, so he has this skill.
Ye Li believed him.
"How did that person get in?" Ye Li asked.
Jiang Xun's eyes fell on the broken corner below the glass: "It should have started from there. I guess it should be a child."
Ye Li was stunned: "You figured this out?"
"It's simple. The broken little corner is big enough for an adult's hand to pass through, but a child's hand can pass through. If it's a skinny child, it's easier."
The child is so skinny...
Ye Li's eyes lit up: "Li Chengcai?"
"It should be Li Dongliang." Jiang Xun said, "Chengcai is older, and his palms are relatively bigger, so it is not easy for him to pass."
Ye Li frowned: "How did Huang Xiuxiu educate her children? It's a pity that one is called Chengcai and the other is called Dongliang! How come they only do sneaky things? It's really a waste of these two good names."
Jiang Xun looked serious: "Go and see if there is anything missing from our house?"
"good."
Ye Li searched the room but didn't find anything missing. The cabinet and two drawers were all locked.
"Nothing should be lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xun opened the remaining unlocked drawer.
There are some miscellaneous items in the drawer. Originally there was a jar here, but now the jar is gone.
"Hey, something is indeed lost." Ye Lina was surprised, "Why would someone go to so much trouble to steal white shoe powder?"
Jiang Xun said: "It's not likely that he stole shoe powder."
"If he didn't steal shoe powder, what did he steal?" Ye Li said, and suddenly remembered that the can of shoe powder was a milk powder can. "Could the child think it was milk powder?"
“Very likely!”
"No, I have to go find Huang Xiuxiu! If I drink this, it will be no joke!"
Jiang Xun nodded: "Go quickly."
"good."
Ye Li came out of the house and went straight to Huang Xiuxiu's house in the backyard.
Huang Xiuxiu saw Ye Li coming through the window, and fearing that Ye Li knew what was going on, she quickly put down the work in her hands and went out to greet her.
"Hey, Ye Li, why are you in the backyard?"
"Sister Xiuxiu, I want to ask you something." Ye Li raised his eyes and glanced towards the window.
This sight made Huang Xiuxiu terrified, fearing that she and her son would be discovered stealing shoe powder.
"What's the matter? Tell me!" She raised her voice deliberately, meaning to remind her two children to hide the milk powder can. If she couldn't stop Ye Li and let her break into the house, the milk powder can would not be discovered by her.
Li Chengcai, who was lying in bed, was only thinking about drinking milk powder. When he heard Ye Li coming to look for his mother, he wondered if the secret could be concealed any longer.
This won’t do. He must taste the milk powder before Ye Li takes it away!
He had only heard of milk powder before, and this was the first time he had seen it, let alone drank it.
"Brother, that woman must be coming for the milk powder! Let's try the milk powder first. If she takes it away, we will be at a great loss!"
Li Dongliang raised both hands in agreement: "Brother, wait for me to make the milk powder."
"Be quick."
"knew."
Li Dongliang quickly prepared two cups of milk powder and brought them over, keeping one for himself and placing the other in front of Li Chengcai.
"Brother, here you go."
Liu Chengcai looked at the cup of white turbid substance, bent down and smelled it, but he did not smell the fragrance he smelled at Ye Li's house yesterday.
He was puzzled: "Brother, why don't I smell the milk fragrance? Do you smell it?"
"No."
"That's strange. How come we smelled it yesterday?"
"I don't know." Li Dongliang shook his head. "Brother, maybe your nose is blind and you can't smell it?"
"My nose is blind, but yours can smell it?"
Li Dongliang shook his head: "I didn't smell it either. Brother, don't worry about it, just drink it quickly, otherwise when that woman comes, it will be too late to say anything."
Although Li Chengcai is older than Li Dongliang, he is still a child.
And he's still a child who has never seen the world.
He didn't know what this thing was. Based on his limited knowledge, he judged that it couldn't be anything other than milk powder, and this thing was in a milk powder can.
Or maybe, this is another brand of milk powder, so it doesn’t smell good?
"Okay, drink it quickly."
The two children hurriedly picked up the cups and drank. As soon as the stuff entered their mouths, Li Chengcai almost vomited it out: "Why is it so unpalatable? Is this what milk powder tastes like?"
"I don't know either, brother? I only heard people say that milk powder is expensive and nutritious... Brother, if we don't drink it, won't it be wasted?"
"You make sense. My head is broken, and I need nutrients to replenish it! Drink it first, maybe you'll get used to it after drinking it a few times."
"Brother, you are so right! You are so smart!"
The two children pinched their noses, pouted their lips, and forced themselves to drink the cup of "milk powder".
At this time, Ye Li was talking to Huang Xiuxiu about the lost shoe powder.
"Sister Xiuxiu, please help me keep an eye out. If you know who entered my house, please tell me!"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you."
"You must tell me! Because what was lost in my house was not milk powder, but shoe powder! The shoe powder was placed in the milk powder can. Don't let anyone drink the shoe powder as if it were milk powder! It will cause poisoning!"
When Huang Xiuxiu heard that this thing was actually shoe powder, she almost vomited blood in anger.
"Why would you put shoe powder in a milk powder can?"
When Ye Li heard that Huang Xiuxiu's tone was a little strange, he became more certain that this thing must have been stolen by Li Dongliang.
Huang Xiuxiu must know about this.
But for some reason, she didn't check and didn't know that it was shoe powder, not milk powder!
