Chapter 91 Cookie Crumbs



As it turned out, Yi Qingqing was right.

She didn't even have to learn sanding techniques, she just had to know how to nail the wooden strips firmly.

By taking advantage of the unlimited and free experimentation with materials feature in the woodcraft skills teaching model, she was able to find the best solution by trying on her own, not to mention the guidance of an experienced carpenter.

Although the old carpenter's skills were not very good, he was much better than Yi Qingqing and he could still make this simple wooden shelf.

After a busy day, it was dark and a few rough but sturdy wooden shelves were finally placed in the small and clean space.

Cover it with the straw felt bought from the village chief's wife and it becomes a storage rack.

Then she put the cooked food on one shelf and hung the raw meat in strips on another shelf. Everything was sorted and organized.

After this tidying up, the space suddenly became a lot more spacious and there was a lot of empty space. It was much better than before when everything was piled on the ground, and more things could be put in.

Yi Qingqing patted her sore waist, feeling that it was worth it for her to be tired for the whole afternoon.

She quickly picked up the wood scraps and debris scattered on the ground and went back into the house.

I am really tired today!

But it is the body that is tired. It is still early now, so the body can lie down and rest, and the mind can still enter the skill teaching mode to learn.

But she had to fill her stomach first, she was starving.

She was too lazy to cook, so she just took out some of the marinated duck she bought yesterday and ate it with rice. She was quite bored while eating. It was dark at this time, and there was nothing interesting outside, so she planned to read the big golden book while eating.

It’s a good opportunity to see if anything big happened to Li Mengxue in the past two days.

"Um?"

It was fine at the beginning. She talked about how she went home with Zheng Xiaolong yesterday and how their relationship had warmed up again. This morning she took a gift to give to Gao Yinghua to thank him for saving her life. She also found out about the fate of that group of people and was relieved to know that they had all committed serious crimes and would have to spend a long time in jail.

Then she went out to the county town again, and Zheng Xiaolong still accompanied her.

This all happens naturally, nothing surprising.

But the last few paragraphs read:

"Li Mengxue made several hundred dollars today. Looking at the savings in her space, she couldn't help but sigh that it's so easy to make money in this era, and the risk is worth it.

After returning to the house, she started cooking dinner.

Most of her things were placed in the supermarket space, and only some decorations were placed in this room, such as the rice bags containing coarse grains distributed by the team, and the boxes of brown sugar and biscuits.

Although they were all opened, she seldom touched them.

So it was strange to find the odd cookie crumb by the bed.

These cookies seemed to be the kind she put in the box as decoration.

Just to be on the safe side, she unpacked a box of biscuits that looked similar to those of this era, wrapped them in paper and put some in the box.

She couldn't remember exactly how many there were, and now that she had opened the box she couldn't tell if anything was missing.

As for other things, such as brown sugar and grains, she was not so sure.

But she knew very well that the cookie crumbs were definitely not hers.

She doesn't like this kind of biscuits at all. There are so many different kinds of biscuits and snacks in the space, how could she possibly eat this?

It couldn't have been a mouse or something, because the box wasn't damaged, not even the paper wrapping the biscuits.

Someone has been in the room!

Unfortunately, she came back late yesterday and didn't look around the room carefully at all. She didn't even know when the cookie crumbs were left there.

She checked the door lock.

Legend has it that if a door lock is pried open, there will be traces left.

She didn't know what the specific traces were, but the door lock was still intact and there was nothing unusual.

Who is it?

Li Mengxue was most suspicious of Liu Chunxing. After all, she had a criminal record. Unfortunately, even if something was missing from the room, searching her place would not prove that it was hers, because it seemed that all the things taken were food. The biscuits might have been eaten on the spot. Everyone also had brown sugar and grain.

She decided to try it again. There was nothing to steal in her room anyway, so this time she remembered the number and location of the items.

If someone really came in and took such a small thing, it was probably to avoid attracting attention. But if there is a first time, there will be a second time. If it happens too many times, there will always be a flaw.

She also wrapped some loose banknotes in a handkerchief, and placed a tiny dot in the middle of each banknote pattern with a red pen, which was perfectly hidden in the pattern and could not be found unless you looked closely.

It ends here, leaving Yi Qingqing's appetite whetted.

Yi Qingqing also felt that this person was Liu Chunxing, almost certainly.

Wang Lingling had a falling out with her when she had almost finished eating the things she had stolen. Now Liu Chunxing must be running out of food, so there was a high possibility that she would steal again.

Li Mengxue's idea was right. Since Liu Chunxing only stole a little at a time, she definitely didn't want to be discovered. So she would have to steal more times, or even from more than one family.

Previously, because it was just speculation and there was no direct evidence, this person was not harmed greatly. Instead, it was an opportunity for her to do something bad again.

Yi Qingqing put all the money and bills in the room into the space, while the food that was easy to preserve was placed outside.

She often took these things and knew exactly how many there were. She checked again carefully with a flashlight and found that nothing was missing.

The box had not been touched and the contents were all in their original state.

It should be that she didn't get the chance to steal it.

I really didn't expect that Liu Chunxing must hate her to death, why wouldn't she steal from her?

If she could open the lock of Li Mengxue's house, then the locks of other houses couldn't stop her. If she wasn't chosen, there was only one possibility, that is, she came back early yesterday and didn't go to the county town today, so the front door had been locked from the inside, and she was afraid she wouldn't dare to do it.

Only Li Mengxue has been going out early and coming back late for the past three days.

As for Zheng Xiaolong, he might have also been harmed. He had been leaving home early and returning late these days to pick up Li Mengxue.

Qian Lailai had a bad day selling vegetables, so he stayed at home most of the time afterwards.

Chen Zhihe didn't go out today, and Yun Guyuan seemed to have come back at noon.

From this perspective, Liu Chunxing probably didn't succeed in robbing many families, because on the first day of the holiday, everyone went to the county town, including Liu Chunxing. When Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan came back by bike, the commune's tractors had not returned yet.

She must have done it yesterday or today.
