Chapter 2004 No One Surrenders
Seeing that the crisis was over, Liu Ermei picked up the oil paper bag on the kang, opened it and handed it to Liu.
"Mom, what do you think of this piece of meat?"
"Well, this piece of meat is great. I haven't seen such a big piece of fat in years."
"Yeah, I only spent four dollars on this piece of meat, no receipt required, isn't it more cost-effective than buying it at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"It's really worthwhile. No wonder so many people take risks and go to the black market. I understand now."
"Mom, in addition to this piece of meat, I also bought other good things. Please put them away and go make some lard. I want to eat dumplings with lard residue."
"Okay, I'll go and make some lard right away. When the dumplings are ready, you can bring a bowl to Xiaoxiao."
"good."
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao went into the space to wash her hair and take a shower, then she sat in front of the mirror to look at her hair.
After looking for a while, she took out her camera and took a photo of herself. This was a memorable hairstyle, so she wanted to take a photo to commemorate it.
After entertaining herself in the space for a while, she planned to go to the captain's house. Tomorrow would be the third day, and she wanted to ask the captain if anyone had come to surrender to him.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the captain's house, the captain was not at home. Only Aunt Cauliflower and her three daughters-in-law were at home, so she sat on a stool and chatted with Aunt Caulihua and the others.
"Xiaoxiao, you are here today about the thief, right?" Aunt Cauliflower said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Yes, I'm here because of that thief. Tomorrow is the third day. I want to ask the captain if anyone has come to turn themselves in."
"You don't need to ask him. I know about this. No one has turned themselves in to him."
"It seems that the thief is not going to settle the matter privately."
"Xiaoxiao, if the thief didn't turn himself in to your father, would you really report it to the police?" Wang asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing what Wang said, Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at Wang and said, “Of course I have to report it. My house has been robbed like that. If I don’t report it, who will compensate me for my loss?
Also, if the thief is not caught, the people in the village will not feel at ease, so no matter from which perspective, we must report the case."
When Wang heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, her eyes flashed, and then she stopped talking and lowered her head to continue sewing the soles of her shoes.
When Wang asked her questions, Lu Xiaoxiao had been paying attention to Wang, so she did not miss the strange look in Wang's eyes. It seemed that the robbery in her house was related to Wang.
"Xiaoxiao, you're here." When the captain walked into the main room and saw Lu Xiaoxiao, he said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Um."
"You are here to ask if anyone has surrendered to me."
"Yes."
"No one has come to surrender to me in the past two days." The captain said with a bad look on his face.
Lu Xiaoxiao was not surprised by this result. The people who stole her things were probably taking a chance, thinking they had no evidence, and they indeed had no evidence.
But from this moment on she had a direction. As long as she kept a close eye on Wang, she believed that it would not take long for her to catch the thief.
"Captain, if no one comes forward to turn themselves in tomorrow, I will report the crime to the police. I will never let that thief go."
"Okay, I won't cover up for that person this time, you can do whatever you want."
After hearing the captain's words, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the captain in surprise. She did not expect the captain to say this. According to the captain's previous style of doing things, shouldn't he stop her from reporting the case and let the matter be resolved in the village?
