Chapter 92 Catching a Thief



After work the next day, the Reed Army team gathered together again at the call of Li Mengxue.

She told what happened yesterday.

"What? There's a thief?" Qian Lailai was extremely surprised.

Li Mengxue nodded, "I'm sure someone broke into my house, but because the stolen items are not obvious, I'm not sure what was stolen. Is there anything wrong with your place?"

"I'm very sure that I didn't lose anything," said Yi Qingqing.

"Me too. I count my things every day and nothing is missing," Qian Lailai also said.

Chen Zhihe also shook his head, "Me too, it should be no less."

"My lock should not have been pried open," Yun Guyuan said with certainty.

"How do you know?" Li Mengxue asked, "I checked my lock yesterday and it seemed to be in good condition."

"A lock that has been pried open will have scratches on the lock. If the thief is more skilled, there won't even be any scratches, and the lock will be a little looser than before," said Yun Guyuan.

Li Mengxue suddenly realized, "My lock seems to be a little loose!"

"So, someone must have entered my room and one yuan was missing. I thought one of the bills fell out when I took out my wallet to buy something. If the thief was very careful and the money was not obvious, then she might have taken the money. I'm not sure if any rice, flour or something else is missing," Zheng Xiaolong also said.

"Don't you think it's that guy again?" Qian Lailai said in a difficult to explain manner.

Why is this guy always trying to take things from others? Does he really think he won't be caught?

If it was a fluke once, can you be lucky every time?

"It is very likely her. After Wang Lingling found something fishy, ​​she endured it for a month before she acted out. Wasn't it just to eat back all the things that were stolen from her? Then Liu Chunxing might not have enough food. If her family really treats her well as she said, they would help her no matter how difficult it is. But she is probably lying, so it's not surprising that she goes back to her old ways. I have already made a mark, and as long as she makes a move again, we will definitely catch her red-handed!" said Li Mengxue.

She was disgusted by this man. He stole other people's things and yet was able to be close friends with them, pretending to be a good person. His intentions were very unusual. It was not impossible that she would strike again and be so careful.

If she hadn't had the supermarket space and had never touched the cookies outside, she would have probably thought that the cookie crumbs were dropped when she ate them. Her things were taken away without anyone noticing. She was really resourceful.

There is such a person living in the educated youth camp, and everyone's locks have become decorations. It's so scary. This time we must find her out.

"For the next period of time, everyone will have to work. During the lunch break and night break, many people will go in and out of the back alley to fetch water. She shouldn't have a chance, right?" Yi Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "But the things she stole, even if she stole from all the old educated youths, there shouldn't be much. Even if she lives frugally, it will only be enough for her to get through this month. The autumn harvest will not start until next month, and the distribution of grain will have to wait until after the harvest. The most likely time for her to make a move is the next holiday."

Li Mengxue gave her a thumbs up. "That makes sense, but I can't stand it for that long. I plan to create some opportunities. Isn't there a wedding in the village next week? The educated youth have also been invited to the wedding, which should be an opportunity. But I'm not sure if she will still steal from me, so you'd better make preparations, Qingqing, especially you."

"Yes, she probably hates you to death. If you hadn't done that on the day you went to the countryside and exposed the money on her, no one would have thought that she was so rich. She wouldn't have pretended to be a good person and lent money and things to Wang Lingling. She didn't steal from you before, probably because you came back too quickly," Qian Lailai also said.

The others nodded.

Yi Qingqing was speechless. She looked at them unhappily and said, "You all know that I am hated, right?"

"Haha, of course not!" Li Mengxue covered her mouth and laughed.

"Another possibility is that you are too smart and she is afraid of being discovered by you," Yun Guyuan smiled and comforted her.

"Yes, that's it!" Yi Qingqing nodded seriously and was successfully comforted.

Even Yun Guyuan, who in her eyes was extremely smart and had a very high IQ, praised her for being smart! It turned out that only smart people could see her extraordinary wisdom.

After returning home, they each marked the things in the house that might be remembered.

Yi Qingqing's place mainly has grain and smoked meat from the woodshed.

She had secretly gone up the mountain to catch the meat, piece by piece, and they were all numbered. Even if she was greedy, she probably wouldn't dare to steal it as it would be too obvious. However, Yi Qingqing still put all the meat away, intending to smoke it after catching the thief, so as to avoid being discovered.

She was reluctant to use money and bills as bait.

The snacks and candies in the box probably wouldn't be able to be kept if someone took them. Yi Qingqing didn't want to let them get away with thieves, so she only kept the unopened ones in the box and put the rest into her personal space.

Yi Qingqing discovered for the first time that she seemed to be quite stingy.

She cleaned up and put all her things into the space, so she would cry if a thief came.

Finally, only food can be used as an issue.

That's it. She just scooped a large bowl of rice and poked the rice one by one with a needle to leave some small holes.

When the day comes, pour the tampered rice onto the surface of the rice bag. If someone wants to steal it, they will definitely get some rice with holes.

It was thought to be perfect, but it was so painful to poke it that Yi Qingqing's hand was hurt from poking.

Alas, it’s not easy to catch a thief!

As she was poking, she suddenly discovered that her sewing skill upgrade progress had increased by 1%.

At first I thought it was an illusion, so I poked it for a while and looked again. Great, it had increased by another 1%.

She obviously didn't learn any sewing skills.

At first, it felt quite fake.

It was not until she took sewing classes in the evening that the accuracy of her needlework improved significantly. When she received praise from Granny Hua, she realized that poking rice with a needle could also train the accuracy of needle placement, which was a pleasant surprise.

After calculating it this way, it seems to be quite cost-effective. I started to eat it more and more, and even changed the original one bowl to two bowls.
