Chapter 637 Let's get a bargain

The next day, Jiang Yu had time to go to Yao Xiangling's house.

Unfortunately, he came at the right time and saw Mrs. Zhao secretly picking the lock.

Jiang Yu's sudden appearance almost scared Mrs. Zhao to death.

"Old lady, what are you doing? In broad daylight, do you think the law is nothing?"

Mrs. Zhao said hesitantly, "I... I... didn't do anything."

Jiang Yu looked at the broken lock and sneered.

"Old lady, this is my great aunt's house. Why are you picking the lock for no reason? Are you a thief?"

Old lady Zhao denied in panic: "No, no, I just heard some noise inside and wanted to pry it open to take a look!"

Jiang Yu said coldly, "My great aunt and sister have moved out. There is no one living here. How could there be any noise? Is there a ghost? If you pry the lock of someone's house for no reason, I will report it to the police station. This is illegal."

Old lady Zhao denied repeatedly: "I really didn't want to steal anything!"

Jiang Yu glanced at her and took out the key to open the door.

But the lock was pried into such a state that the key could no longer open it.

"You have to compensate me for the lock, which you broke!"

Mrs. Zhao didn't want to suffer a loss, so she immediately retorted: "Why should I compensate? I didn't steal anything!"

Jiang Yu patted the door and pointed at the lock and said, "Why do you say that? You don't have to compensate, but I'll ask the police to come and reason with you. Maybe this is not the first time you have pried the lock. If I find something missing from the house, it will all be your fault."

Mrs. Zhao choked up, knowing that she was in the wrong, so she had to ask someone to replace her with a new lock.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged. Before she could even get in, she was caught by Jiang Yu.

After Jiang Yu entered the house, he checked it first and confirmed that there were no signs of rummaging before he felt relieved.

She knew that Yao Xiangling usually kept her valuables in the cupboard, so she took out all the things.

She also remembered the fabrics Yao Xiangling mentioned, and took them out as well. Before she

knew it, she had filled the bag with things of all sizes, and then she took the things and left. Old

Mrs. Zhao had been peeking at the door, and when she saw Jiang Yu packed so many things, she spat.

"It's to prevent thieves!"

Her husband blushed, and it was to prevent thieves.

"Come back, don't keep staring at other people's things."

Old Mrs. Zhao snorted, "Yao Xiangling is a lonely woman. If she dies, who knows who will take advantage of her things in the future. Instead of giving them to others, it's better to give them to us."

As she said that, she took out a key from her pocket.

"When I changed the locks just now, I secretly left a key."

She said, and then she opened the door with the key.

Although she was old, she was very agile.

As soon as she entered the house, she began to rummage through the drawers.

There were only some unfinished maltose and milk powder in the closet, and she took them all home.

Then she went back to the kitchen and moved all the eggs and flour out of the cupboard.

On the third trip, she went into Yao Xiangling's bedroom.

When she opened the closet, she saw the clothes neatly hung inside.

Yao Xiangling was a particular person and had money, so she never wore clothes with patches.

Old Mrs. Zhao muttered, "You are so old, but you still dress so gaudy. How shameless. "

She said this, but she couldn't help but pick up Yao Xiangling's clothes and try them on.

Her eyes fell on the cotton coat in the corner, and she couldn't help but put it on. "You know what, it's really warm." The cotton inside was soft, and it was obvious that the cotton coat had not been worn many times. She put her hands in her pockets, and suddenly her movements froze, and she took out a gold bracelet from inside. Old Mrs. Zhao stared at the gold bracelet in her hand, her eyes shining. She couldn't help but take a bite, "Real gold!" I didn't expect Yao Xiangling to have such a good thing. Old Mrs. Zhao laughed and tried it on. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She searched through the boxes and cabinets again, and she also took out a thousand yuan, which she also put away. She didn't take all the clothes away, only the sweaters and cotton-padded jackets, which she could dismantle and make new ones later. Just like that, she left with satisfaction. As soon as Mrs. Zhao came out of the bedroom, she bumped into Jiang Yu, who was returning with two police officers following behind her. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. "Comrade police, it's her! She was picking the lock when I came just now. I thought she would be able to restrain herself after being discovered, but I didn't expect that after I left, she would become even more aggressive!" Jiang Yu had really left at first, but then she remembered that she forgot to take Yao Xiangling's cotton-padded jacket and wanted to turn back. However, she saw a figure walking in the window from a distance downstairs. She endured it once, but Mrs. Zhao dared to come a second time. How could she endure it? She immediately rode her bicycle to the nearby police station to report the case. Only then did they catch the greedy old lady Zhao. "The clothes she was wearing belonged to my great aunt, not to mention how many things she moved from my great aunt's house." Old lady Zhao was caught red-handed. Knowing that she could no longer deny it, she had to beg for mercy: "Jiang Yu, I know I was wrong! I will return all the things to you, please forgive me this time!" Jiang Yu snorted, "If you really knew you were wrong, you wouldn't have dared to steal the key and come back to steal things after I found out you were fishing! No matter what you say this time, I will send you to prison for a few days and reform you!" Old lady Zhao's husband finally realized that something was wrong and ran out of the house. "Don't do that! Show some mercy! Jiang Yu, please let us go this time because we have lived next to your aunt for many years." Jiang Yu looked at her with disdain, "What you said is really funny. Now you know how to be considerate. When the old lady stole my aunt's things, why didn't you think about the fact that you and my aunt have lived next to each other for many years?" With such bad neighbors, whoever gets along with them will be in big trouble. "Comrade Public Security, don't just stand there, hurry up and handle the case."

The two police officers standing by came to their senses, and one of them said, "Comrade Jiang, I think this old lady is old, and she didn't do it on purpose, let's forget about it."

Jiang Yu was so angry that she laughed, "What do you mean by forget about it? She turned my aunt's house upside down and stole things, and you want me to forget about it? What do you think my house is, charity?"

She glanced at the police officer's work badge, "Comrade Zeng Anping, right? If you don't handle this matter for me today, I will have to complain to you. You are shielding criminals, I want to see if the police officers in your police station are as indiscriminate as you."

Zeng Anping was a pretty boy, and his fair cheeks flushed red when he heard Jiang Yu say that.

Although he was angry, he didn't think he was wrong.

Instead, he angrily accused Jiang Yu: "Do you have any sympathy? As a young person, don't you have elderly people in your family? If your elderly were bullied like this outside, how would you feel?"

He raised his chin and looked at her arrogantly.

"If it were you, just forget it. Why bother with the elderly."

The other police officer next to him had a gloomy face, obviously disagreeing with his statement, but did not say anything to refute him.

Such absurd logic made Jiang Yu laugh.

"My old man doesn't steal things, why do your old man steal things all the time? Don't you think it's illegal because you steal too many things? I am the victim, why do you think I am the perpetrator?"

Jiang Yu smiled coldly, "I question your work ability and your character. If you are so generous, why don't you take out your bankbook to help this old lady?"
