As soon as Yi Xiaoqiu stepped into the main hall, Qian Donglai couldn't wait to speak, "Yi Zhiqing, you are not asleep. Just now, Shen Zhiqing came to you and said you were asleep..."
At this moment, everyone saw Yi Xiaoqiu's half-wet hair, and wondered why Yi Zhiqing didn't open the door. Qian Donglai also shut his mouth awkwardly.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Yi Xiaoqiu ignored Qian Donglai.
Gu Chengfeng said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zhiqing's money was stolen, and everyone is helping to find the thief."
Yi Xiaoqiu fixed his gaze on Zhao Shuhong. "When was she stolen?"
Zhao Shuhong curled her lips slightly, feeling dissatisfied, but she spoke honestly, "It's been stolen twice. The first time, ten pieces were stolen. I don't know when it was stolen, but I found out the day you first distributed meat to everyone. This time, twenty pieces were stolen, today."
"It seems I was alone both times." Yi Xiaoqiu pondered for a moment and then continued, "Just now, I was alone at the educated youth point. So, I am indeed the most suspicious."
Yi Xiaoqiu said so himself, and no one knew what to say, but no one really thought that Yi Xiaoqiu had stolen the money.
Lu Rongrong nodded. "That's true on the surface, but I've noticed this thief is a bit timid. He only stole ten yuan the first time. Zhao Zhiqing, why don't you report this to the police tomorrow? Who knows, the money might just disappear again early next morning."
"No, if we don't find the thief, what will happen if he steals money again in the future?" Gu Chengfeng looked disapproving.
Qian Donglai's lips trembled slightly with nervousness. As soon as Li Qingqing paid attention to him, his eyes darkened and he started to make up his mind.
If he finds the thief, he should be able to gain everyone's favor, right?
Especially those suspected of being educated youth, and those female educated youth whose money had been stolen.
However, he only suspected it, without any evidence, and no one would necessarily believe it if he told it! If he offended someone, it would be even more disastrous.
At this moment, Yi Xiaoqiu and Song Ying looked at each other and said at the same time: "Lu Zhiqing's method is feasible."
Since I already agree with Gu Zhiqing as a person, I naturally don't agree with Lu Rongrong and her attempt to smooth things over.
Xie Yu hesitated: "This is not right..."
Li Qingqing changed his usual cowardly attitude and became more assertive. "If this thief can steal once or twice, he will definitely steal three or four times. We must catch him!"
No one else said a word.
Song Ying glanced at Yi Xiaoqiu and explained to everyone, "Lu Zhiqing's idea is not bad. We live under the same roof and have some affection for each other. We shouldn't be too unkind and give the thief a chance!"
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded repeatedly. As a person under suspicion, it was most appropriate for others to say this.
Shen Ruofei was a little skeptical. Xiaoqiu was not the one who suffered the loss. How could she agree to such a bad idea and put herself in an awkward situation?
But she said nothing. Based on her understanding of Yi Xiaoqiu, there must be another trick up her sleeve.
The sun had set long ago and the house was pitch black. After all the fuss, the thief still hadn't been found. To be honest, Zhao Shuhong was a little discouraged. She now felt that it was good enough to get the money back. As for the thief, the worst that could happen was that he would just hide the money more tightly in the future.
"Well, if I don't see the money next morning, I will ask for leave and go to the police." She can take a break now, so the team leader must approve her leave!
This was the only thing the thief did.
Seeing that Zhao Shuhong herself said so, everyone stopped talking and went back to their rooms to wash up and go to bed.
After a day's work, everyone was already exhausted. If it hadn't been delayed for so long, everyone would have been lying down on the kang!
Yi Xiaoqiu and Song Ying looked at each other. Both of them had something to say. Just as they were about to leave together, Shen Ruofei interrupted. She was not tactless and asked Yi Xiaoqiu to borrow something.
"Yi Zhiqing, please help me with the needle and thread. My clothes are unstitched."
"Come to my room and get it."
The three of them came to Yi Xiaoqiu's room. Shen Ruofei blinked her big eyes and stared at Yi Xiaoqiu, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Yi Xiaoqiu smiled helplessly, "If you're not tired, come catch thieves with us tonight!"
Song Ying nodded aside. It had to be said that she and Yi Zhiqing had a tacit understanding, as they both thought of the same thing.
"Ah? How to catch him? Oh... you don't want to wait until the thief returns the money and then catch him red-handed?" Shen Ruofei immediately thought of the key point.
Song Ying sat on the kang without saying a word. Yi Xiaoqiu nodded, "Even if this thief knew it was a trap, he had to jump into it. Otherwise, when the police come tomorrow, he won't be able to escape, and the matter will become even more serious."
This is a complete conspiracy.
"That's a good idea. I didn't expect Lu Rongrong to come up with such a clever idea. It seems she's quite smart!"
Yi Xiaoqiu smiled but said nothing. Whether he had a brain or not depended on whether she would come to catch the thief tonight. What if the other person really thought so?
Shen Ruofei also climbed onto the kang. "Then I'll wait here first. I'll go back to sleep after the thief is caught. Xiaoqiu, I've made a great sacrifice to clear your suspicion. I don't ask for much. Just compensate me and give me two more pounds of meat!"
After a day's work, everyone was so tired that they wanted to lie down on the kang and not get up. As a result, they stayed up in the middle of the night to help catch the thief, which was indeed a great sacrifice.
Of course Yi Xiaoqiu agreed, "Hey, I'll save a few pounds of pork ribs for you to stew in private, to nourish you."
Song Ying: "I want one too."
"You all have children, right?"
Shen Ruofei was satisfied. "Then I'll go back to wash up first and come over later."
Song Ying also left and went back to wash up before coming back.
After the two of them left, Yi Xiaoqiu hurriedly called out to the leader in her mind, "Xiaocha, can you monitor what's going on in the other rooms at the educated youth camp?"
[Host, no problem.]
Xiaocha was very happy. The host finally found something for her to do. Seeing the housekeeper busy every day, she sometimes wondered if her ability was not as strong as that of a robot.
Yi Xiaoqiu was also very happy. She was also trying to ask. She had never asked the teacher to help her with anything before. She thought Xiaocha could only issue tasks and give her rewards! Unexpectedly, there was a surprise.
"Then help me focus on monitoring the room of the male educated youth in front. Of course, pay attention to the other rooms as well. Mainly, see if anyone sneaks out in the middle of the night and puts something in Zhao Shuhong's room. Be sure to call me in advance. I want to catch the thief."
It was the first time that Yi Xiaoqiu asked Xiaocha to do something, so he was a little worried and talked too much.
[No problem, host, you can go to sleep first. If there is any movement, I will call you immediately.]
Soon, Shen Ruofei and Song Ying came to Yi Xiaoqiu's room one after another, holding quilts.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature has gradually dropped. It is not so hot during the day, and the temperature is much lower at night. It is necessary to cover yourself with a thin quilt.
