Chapter 224 The box is passive



The whole box actually looked almost the same as before she left, and was quite tidy, but the strange thing was in some details.

In addition to the two boxes of chocolates that Shen Yanli gave away, he also left a separate box for her, which was placed in the box and no one knew about it. She remembered clearly that she only ate four, but now there were five empty spaces in the box.

Also, her skin care products and toiletries were not placed in the right place.

She habitually put the vanishing cream in the corner of the box, followed by the ones for shampooing hair, taking a bath, a spare piece of scented soap, and a small bottle of hair oil underneath.

But now the order has been disrupted.

If one detail is different, it may be that she remembered it wrong, but if several details are different, it means that her self-awareness is correct.

Her suitcase had been tampered with.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but frowned, her first reaction was anger, but she quickly calmed down, carefully checked the boxes she used frequently, and also checked the box that Shen Yanli brought.

She didn't bring any valuables with her. Apart from the watch on her wrist, she only had some money and bills, more than a hundred yuan, which she had prepared for emergencies in case of any unexpected situations.

...

...

After counting, I found that the money and bills were surprisingly not lost.

But the strange thing was that her skin care products and toiletries all showed signs of having been used. It was not because she had a keen eye and could tell the difference in the amounts used in just one day, but because the mouth of each bottle was stained with a slightly sticky liquid.

Like Shen Yanli, she also has a mild obsession with cleanliness. After use, she will rinse it with water or wipe it with a tissue.

After all, she will put the things back into the box after use. If she doesn’t wipe them clean, it will “affect” other clothes and things in the box, which will make her feel uncomfortable.

But now...

Zhou Yunwan took a deep breath and couldn't help but wonder who it could be?

Thief? Gao Menglan? Or is he from the Liu family?

She had no thoughts in her mind for a moment.

But as far as she knew, Gao Menglan was just as vain as she was, so she probably wouldn't steal her things. However, she couldn't say for sure...

Shen Yanli noticed something was wrong the moment she started rummaging through the boxes, but he held back and didn't speak, instead waiting until she stopped before asking what happened.

Zhou Yunwan met his gaze, pursed her lips, and whispered in his ear: "My box seems to have been moved."

After saying that, he also told him his basis.

Hearing this, Shen Yanli's face immediately became very ugly. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you have anyone you suspect?"

Zhou Yunwan shook her head: "This happened while we were away, so it's really hard to identify the suspect."

These days there is no surveillance and it is difficult to have real evidence. It is not realistic to report to the police or the village chief.

Even if we take a step back and say that none of her money and bills were lost, but her skin care products and other items were used and her food was stolen, these do not constitute indicators of theft and people might even say that she is being too sensitive.

Shen Yanli also knew this truth, his thick eyebrows knitted together, and his voice suddenly became firm: "I will apply to the company for an early annual leave, and stay here with you until the end of the play."

Listening to his impulsive and unrealistic words, Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but laugh: "How can you be like this? You've been waiting for so long, I'm afraid you'll be fired from the institute."

"Even if I'm fired..." It's not as important as you.

Before Shen Yanli finished speaking, Zhou Yunwan interrupted him seriously: “Bah, don’t say such things, how can you joke about your own future?”

This time, Shen Yanli didn't want to give in: "Wanwan, I'm not making a fuss. This time it's a small theft, and next time it may be a big theft. Once or twice, there will be three times. Money is a small matter, but safety is a big matter. What if you are in danger at that time?"

When he thought of the consequence, Shen Yanli's face turned pale instantly, and he felt as if his soul had been taken away. He felt empty and terrified, which made him more determined to stay.

Zhou Yunwan met his emotional eyes and was deeply touched. His words made sense. As the person involved, she naturally felt scared. As he said, nothing is more important than safety.

She bit her lower lip, forced herself to calm down, and sighed as she tried to persuade him.

"But it's not a good idea for you to stay forever. There's still more than a month before the end of the filming. It's not realistic for you to take a leave to stay with me. Besides, we can't leave our wedding to mom alone, right? You have to help me too..."

Shen Yanli retorted with a gloomy look in his eyes: “None of this is important now…”

Zhou Yunwan knew that he was worried about her safety, so she patiently comforted him, "We can't worry about something that hasn't happened and lose our composure..."

Even though she said that, Shen Yanli's expression did not relax at all.

Zhou Yunwan frowned, and suddenly thought of something, and raised her red lips: "The best solution is not for you to be my bodyguard, but to catch the thief."

Shen Yanli was agitated and looked at her blankly after hearing the words.

Zhou Yunwan turned to look at her box and said meaningfully: "Since the village won't deal with small matters, then let's make a big deal out of it."

Outside the house, the Liu family members picked up their bowls and were about to have breakfast.

But at this moment, a deafening scream was heard in the house.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, this voice seems to be Comrade Zhou?"

"Isn't Comrade Zhou's wife here with her? Nothing should happen, right?"

The Liu family members looked at each other, with a trace of fear on their faces, especially Old Man Liu, who was extremely frightened.

After all, Gao Menglan’s previous incident also started with a scream.

When Gao Menglan saw Old Man Liu looking at her, she naturally thought of what had happened before. She rolled her eyes, and was the first to stand up and walk towards the room.

Seeing this, the others followed.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Zhou Yunwan, and no one noticed that the face of the second daughter-in-law of the Liu family in the corner turned ugly for a moment, and even the hand holding the bowl shook.

An ominous premonition surged in her heart. Could it be that what she had done was discovered?

But she was very careful, so she shouldn't have been discovered.

However, the more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and her eyes couldn't help but wander around. In order not to arouse suspicion, she hesitated for a few seconds and quietly caught up with the crowd. However, she did not dare to walk to the front, but followed at the end of the team.

Gao Menglan walked the fastest, and since the door was not closed, she walked straight in.

But as soon as she entered the door, she was shocked by the scene before her.

She widened her eyes and asked, "No, what's going on?"
