After a while, the person who went to call the police came back.
Liu Guofeng asked, "How is it going? When will the police arrive?"
"They said they would leave immediately, so they should be here soon," said the person on the phone.
"Okay, then let's wait a little longer." After Liu Guofeng said that, he sat on the kitchen doorstep, his hand supporting his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.
After sitting for a few minutes, he stood up and left. Su Ruoli guessed that he might be going to look for his work points book, as the police would definitely ask about it when they arrived.
The people in the hospital did not leave, probably because they wanted to see how the situation would be handled later.
Old Lady Wang and Aunt Zhang were also in the crowd. When Old Lady Wang heard Su Ruoli say that anyone who did not go to work was a suspect, her heart skipped a beat.
Because her son didn't go to work today, she gave birth to six girls in a row before she had this precious baby, so she was reluctant to let her do any work.
So this made her son lazy and gluttonous. Apart from working, he was good at eating, drinking, gambling, whoring and stealing.
Several of his sisters have already started families, but he is already in his twenties and still hasn't found a wife, yet he still thinks he is so great every day.
Almost all the girls in the village disliked him, but Su Ruoli had never seen this man in all the time she had been here.
Old Lady Wang slipped out of the crowd and ran all the way home. She was afraid that it might really be her son who did it, so she made plans early.
It seems that Old Lady Wang knows her son quite well. Even if her son does something wrong, she doesn't know how to educate him and just spoils him blindly.
It was impossible to let the police take her son away. She only had that one lifeblood, and she would die if he was taken away.
When Old Lady Wang returned, she saw Liu Dasheng sitting with his legs crossed, with peanuts and liquor in front of him, eating them one mouthful at a time.
Old Lady Wang walked over and asked cautiously, "Dasheng! What did you do today?"
Liu Dasheng said nonchalantly, "What else can I do? I went to the county town to buy some peanuts and some wine and came back. I didn't do anything."
Old Lady Wang asked again, "Are you sure you didn't do anything?"
Liu Dasheng put down his crossed legs, kicked the table, and said impatiently: "What do you want to say? Can you just say it directly?"
"I...it's okay, it's okay. You eat first. You must be hungry. Mom will go make you some food." Since her son said he didn't do anything, it probably wasn't her son who did it.
My heart instantly settled down and I turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.
Liu Dasheng said: "It's inexplicable!"
She didn't say what happened, and Liu Dasheng didn't know that Su Ruoli had already reported to the police. When the police found him, he was already drunk.
And what happened today was really done by him.
Su Ruoli and others waited in the yard for a long time before they saw Liu Guofeng coming with three police officers. Liu Guofeng was holding a work points book in his hand and saying something to the police.
Seeing Liu Guofeng and others coming, Su Ruoli pulled Zhang Sitong to greet them, "Uncle Guofeng, you are here."
Liu Guofeng sighed and said, "Ruoli girl, the public security comrades are here. Please tell them the details of the matter."
"Okay, I know Uncle Guofeng!" Then he turned to the three police officers and said, "Comrades, thank you for taking the trouble to come here so late."
"We are all serving the people. Please tell us the specific things first!" said the leading police officer.
Su Ruoli nodded, then pulled Zhang Sitong over and began to speak: "Comrade Public Security, this is the educated youth who shared this courtyard with me. She also lost something."
Next, Su Ruoli recounted the entire story in detail from beginning to end.
The more the police listened, the more they felt that the crime was committed by an acquaintance, so they asked, "Who have you offended recently?"
Su Ruoli said: "No, we haven't interacted with other people much, so we shouldn't offend anyone. Besides, we haven't done anything except going to work recently."
The leading police officer said to Liu Guofeng, "Okay, then, Captain, take a look and see who is absent from work today. Let's start by checking the people in our village."
Liu Guofeng opened the work points book and compared them one by one. Finally, he found out that there were eight people who did not go to work today, and one person asked for leave when he went to work in the afternoon, a total of nine people.
Liu Guofeng tore a blank piece of paper from the last page of the work points book, borrowed a pen from the police officer, wrote down the nine names on the paper, and handed it to the police officer.
The leading police officer took a quick look and put the paper in his pocket. He then said to Su Ruoli, "Have you cleaned up the scene? We need to go take a look."
"No, it's these two rooms, take a look." Su Ruoxianli walked over and opened the door of her room.
The room was in a mess. Several police officers looked inside with their brows furrowed.
This turned the house upside down. Who is so wicked? Not only do they steal things, but they also throw pillows and quilts on the floor. What does this mean?
There were big footprints on the pillows and quilts. A policeman took out a ruler from his pocket and started measuring according to the footprints.
This is the key to solving the case!
After checking Su Ruoli's room, several police officers turned and walked towards Zhang Sitong's room.
The aunties and sisters who were watching were also shocked. Look at what has been done to the house. It's so shameless. How long will it take to clean it up?
Zhang Sitong ran over quickly and opened the door of her room. The room was turned upside down just like Su Ruoli's room, and all the things were thrown on the ground.
The police searched the house and finally determined that only one person had entered the house, because the footprints found in the two rooms were the same size and the patterns left by the soles of the shoes were also the same.
They are all homemade cloth shoe soles.
They went to the kitchen again. It looked a little better, but a little empty.
The rice jar and flour bags were empty and thrown on the ground, and there were also broken pieces of bowls on the ground.
Several police officers checked one by one, and asked Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong how much money and items were lost, and made a record. Finally, they comforted Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong with a few words and turned away.
Liu Guofeng quickly followed and asked, "Comrade Public Security, can we recover the money and belongings these two children lost?"
"That's not certain, but we will definitely do our best to help find it," said the leading police officer.
"Oh, these two children are so pitiful. It's not time to distribute food yet. How are these two children going to survive these days?" Liu Guofeng said.
"Don't sigh, let's go investigate the homes of these nine people first to see if there are any clues. These two kids, too, live in such a remote place, they're really brave."
"Who says it isn't?"
Liu Guofeng walked beside them, leading the way for several police officers.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the crowd left one after another.
