Brother Liang stayed for a while and then left. Wang Xiao saw him leave and leaned over to Hu Bo's ear and whispered, "Look at Liangzi, he's still trying to rob people. If he dares to rob people, I'll tear his head off."
Hu Bo looked at Liangzi's back as he left, looking thoughtful.
Wang Xiao saw that Hu Bo was silent and pushed him. "I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about?"
Hu Bo came back to his senses and said, "Nothing, just drink."
After drinking with Wang Xiao, Hu Bo prepared to go home.
When passing by Ye Qing's clothing store and jewelry store, he looked up a few times.
That day, when Ye Qing came to the store, he saw Aunt Zhang from the next yard cursing at the door.
"Who is the one who stole our bicycle? He has the life to steal it but not the life to ride it."
A neighbor said, "Yesterday I told you to push your bike in, but you insisted it was fine. Maybe it was stolen."
"My Lao Zhao was just putting it on the noodles for a while, thinking he would ride it later. Who would have thought that someone would steal it in such a short time?"
"There are a lot of thieves lately, so everyone should be careful."
After listening to a few words, Ye Qing walked into the store and saw Hongxia stretching her neck to listen to the noise outside. He smiled and said, "Be careful, your neck will hurt later."
Hongxia touched her neck and smiled, "Sister Ye Qing, you heard it just now, right? Aunt Zhang's bicycle was stolen."
Ye Qing nodded.
"Recently, there have been a lot of robberies and thefts. When you close the door, make sure to close both the door and the windows."
Hongxia patted her chest and said, "Sister Ye Qing, don't worry. I always check the door and windows before closing it."
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, go call the police! Two bottles of Daqu and two packs of cigarettes are missing from the store."
At this moment, a sound came from the shop opposite.
Hongxia hurried to the door to see.
Soon, Hongxia came back, "Sister Yeqin, I lost something too."
Ye Qing, "It's very likely that the person who stole Aunt Zhang's bicycle is a thief."
Hongxia nodded, "Those people outside said the same thing. They're checking to see if they're missing anything."
Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Oh, we should check quickly. Su Jing, come and see if there is anything missing from the store."
Su Jing agreed and checked the things on the table.
Ye Qing stood up and said, "I'll go tell Sister Meilan and Xiao Xu."
After checking, nothing was missing from either the jewelry store or the clothing store.
Hongxia smiled and said, "That's great, everything is fine in our store."
Ye Qing looked at the bare windows of the store opposite and the iron fence outside his own window, and guessed that this must be the reason.
Several other shop owners across the street who had lost items may have noticed this as well, so they asked someone to come and install a fence in the afternoon.
Customers who came to the store to buy something saw this and asked, "What are they doing? Why are they putting up fences?"
Hongxia replied, "Thieves broke into those houses last night."
The guest understood that they were installing a fence to prevent thieves.
…
Shi Na looked at the cigarettes, alcohol, fruit, malted milk, and two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin on the table and asked in surprise, "How did you finish buying everything so quickly?"
Hu Bo smiled and said, "Chinese New Year is not long away anyway, so I'd better buy it early so that I won't be in a rush when the time comes."
Shi Na smiled and said, "You are very thoughtful. However, you haven't received your salary yet, so where did you get the money to buy these things?"
Hu Bo rubbed his hands and said, "I borrowed some from my friend. I'll pay him back after I get my salary."
Shi Na was very touched. Hu Bo was a very concerned person. If he didn't want to please her parents, he would definitely not ask to borrow money from others.
Throwing herself into Hu Bo's arms, she said, "You're so good to me."
"You are my partner, if I don't treat you well, who else will I treat well?"
…
A week later, Ye Qing came to the store again. Remembering the thief who had come to the neighborhood last week, he asked, "Did you catch that thief?"
Hongxia shook her head, "No."
Not only did they not catch the person, they didn't even have any clues.
Ye Qing thought about it and it made sense. In modern times, with cameras everywhere, some thieves cannot be caught.
Not to mention the current situation where there is no camera at all.
Su Jing said, "Auntie Zhang is so angry that she's been cursing at the door every day these past few days."
Hongxia echoed, "Yes, I did curse that family too, but not as long as Aunt Zhang. She stopped after three days."
Thinking of that scene, Ye Qing smiled.
A few days later, Ye Qing was playing with Zhou Zhou and Youyou at home when Hongxia suddenly called.
"Sister Ye Qing, the thief has been caught. Do you know who it is? It's actually Hu Bo."
Ye Qing was surprised. How could it be him?
Although she thought Hu Bo was not a good person, she didn't expect him to steal things.
Ye Qing originally wanted to ask what exactly happened, but the call was from Hongxia, and it cost money, so he hung up the phone and went to the store to ask in person.
That's how it is.
There was a small restaurant at the end of the street where Ye Qing and his friends were. Because the business was not good and the restaurant had no money, it did not install bars on the windows.
But they are also afraid of being robbed. Although there are nothing valuable in the store, if the tables, benches, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are lost, they can still buy them again.
So the shop owner asked his old man to stay in the shop at night to watch over the store.
It was fine for the first few days, but then it happened last night.
The old man was sleeping when he suddenly heard some noise near the window, so he got up and went out to catch someone.
Then they caught Hu Bo.
At this point, Hongxia changed the subject, "But I heard that Hu Bo denied that he went there to steal anything, saying that he was just looking for a corner to relieve himself."
Hu Bo did not enter the house at that time and nothing was found on him, so it can be said that he did not go there to steal anything.
"How is it now?"
"It seems that no evidence has been released."
When Shi Na heard that Hu Bo was arrested as a thief, she immediately rushed to the police station.
Just then, he saw Hu Bo coming out and asked quickly, "Hu Bo, what's going on?"
Hu Bo acted as if he had been wronged. "Don't mention it. I drank a little too much with my friends last night, and on the way home I needed to pee urgently, so I wanted to find a place to relieve myself.
As soon as I walked over, a little old man came out and grabbed my clothes and called me a thief."
Shi Na frowned angrily, "Why is he like this? He must be mentally ill."
"Who says he isn't? I think he's getting old and confused. Everyone he sees looks like a thief.
Okay, everything is fine now. You must have not had breakfast since you came here so early. Come on, I'll take you to eat."
Shi Na was still a little angry, but seeing that Hu Bo didn't care, she didn't say anything else and went to have breakfast with him.
After breakfast and returning home, Hu Bo thought about what happened last night and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.
Fortunately, the old man came out early last night, otherwise it would have been bad if we had waited until he climbed in through the window before we discovered him.
It seems that we can no longer go to this street. Everyone has become more cautious.
