Chapter 211 Disappearing without a trace
“It seems so!”
Fang Peizhong's answer put everyone at ease, and in this way they were cleared of suspicion.
"Look, Auntie, we all came back together just now, it's impossible for anyone to enter this room earlier. When we came in just now, we saw this and didn't have time to call you. You came in, it must have nothing to do with us."
Several people felt very aggrieved. Just imagine, who would like to live in the same house and be treated like a thief by others?
"Let's put it this way. Where is your production team leader? I'll go find him! We can't just let this matter go. Today this thief was able to steal Fang Peizhong's things. Next time, the things you bring back won't be safe either.
We can’t just indulge him every time and let this thief run wild.”
Ye Hua brought so many things, which amounted to more than two months' salary.
How could she be willing to accept losing everything at once?
Fang Peizhong must have nodded as well, knowing that he would never let those things his mother brought for him fall into the hands of that thief.
"Yes, we need to contact the police. Find this thief and put him in jail at the police station. Sentence him to a few years. Let him steal from us educated youth next time he steals."
Fang Peizhong's words made someone feel depressed.
In order to clear themselves of suspicion, the others naturally agreed.
Zhang Chaoyang came in. Everyone lived in the same dormitory yard. If there was any noise over here, they would naturally hear it over there. It would be unreasonable if they didn't come over to take a look.
"What's going on here? Why is there so much noise?"
The others immediately started talking to Zhang Chaoyang to explain the matter.
"Boss, Fang Peizhong's cabinet was pried open. He said the cabinet was fine when he came back, but now that we've come in, the cabinet is in this state, and everything inside is missing."
Zhang Chaoyang walked over and lifted the cabinet door with his hand. The lock on the cabinet had indeed been pried open, and the things in the cabinet had been turned into a mess.
It looked like most of the things Ye Hua brought yesterday were taken away by someone.
"Aunt, since he was lost in such a short time, it must not be an outsider, because if an outsider came in and out at this time, you would definitely see him. I think it must be one of our own. How about this, let's check internally first.
After all, it is impossible to steal so many things without leaving any traces. So many things must be put away, and I guess they are in someone's locker, so if everyone agrees, open everyone's locker and check.
Whether there is any suspicion or not, we should eliminate everyone's suspicion first. If it was done by an outsider, then it can be considered as clearing everyone's name."
Zhang Chaoyang said this because he wanted to resolve the matter privately. After all, if a theft occurred in their small group, it would be too embarrassing to tell anyone about it.
Moreover, he had a hunch that this kind of thing was probably done by these educated youth.
If this matter really came to the attention of the production team leader, the educated youth would lose all face.
In the future, all the educated youth would probably be pointed at by others and suspected of being thieves among them, so this matter had to be kept secret and resolved internally.
Ye Hua also nodded, "Okay, then you guys check it out first. I'm an outsider in this matter, so it's not convenient for me to intervene. I'm afraid Zhang Zhiqing will have to figure out how to check it out."
Ye Hua started thinking, because she heard from Zhang Hongmei that Zhang Chaoyang's family had a lot of connections.
If we can take this opportunity to make Zhang Chaoyang and Fang Peizhong closer, this kind of relationship will be guaranteed in the future.
We've been through thick and thin together, so how can I not help?
Who knows who can use whom?
Zhang Chaoyang immediately found two people who were close to him and started searching the cabinets in each room. He first checked the cabinets of all the educated youth in Fang Peizhong's room, and opened their cabinets.
The contents of each cabinet are actually clearly visible. Who can fail to see whether there are any extra items?
It seems that they don't have it in the house.
After searching all the other rooms, they found that the thing was not in anyone's cupboard. Zhang Chaoyang felt relieved at once. It seemed that it was not done by the educated youth. As long as it was not done by the educated youth, it would not matter if the matter became a big deal.
After all, the educated youth suffered losses, and the production team knew about it, so they could be more cautious in the future.
The matter was reported to the production team leader Li Dahu.
After a year's work, the autumn harvest is finally approaching, and Li Dahu is still satisfied.
After the household contract responsibility system was changed into small collectives, people seemed to be very motivated to work, after all, it was related to their own interests.
No one is lazy.
After several inspections, he had a good idea about this year's harvest. It looked like this would be a bumper year.
I was very happy because not only could I deliver the required grain this year, but I could probably use half of the remaining grain to repay the grain supplied by the forest farm.
In this way, their burden is greatly reduced.
I'm afraid he might even be commended by the county.
They were lucky because of this disaster year. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for their farm to be praised. As the production team leader, he had not won any award in the county for all these years.
He really wants to be awarded the title of advanced worker.
It also pays off my hard work on the farm over the years.
We were having fun here, but then the affairs of the educated youth were brought to our attention.
When Li Dahu heard that there was a thief on their farm, he was furious.
This kind of thing hasn't happened here in all these years. This is the first time. If the leaders above knew about this, he would no longer be able to be the production team leader!
You have to know how to do a good job of ideological work for the people below. This is also one of the jobs of their production team leader. They talk about various policies from above, including ideological education, over and over again through the loudspeaker every day.
They did it just to make the people under them do their jobs honestly, but now, a big case has happened here.
People from the city brought so many things, but they were stolen. This can be a big deal or a small one.
Li Dahu called a meeting of the entire farm and asked everyone to prove to each other what the other party was doing at this time.
The problem is that after checking, everyone has evidence to prove that they did not appear at the educated youth site at that time.
It seemed as if these things appeared out of thin air and were lost.
In the end, I still couldn't find out the reason.
This shows that this thief is really smart.
Ye Hua and Fang Peizhong were helpless.
The whole farm held a meeting, and the mother and son were stared at like thieves. After all, there was a thief on the farm, and everyone was embarrassed.
Many people looked at the mother and son differently, after all, there was a thief on the same farm.
If the news gets out, what will others think of their farm? Others will also be treated as thieves.
The problem is that the thief did it so cleverly that no one noticed.
