Chu Jiang looked at Wu Laohu, whose face was gloomy, and said, "I know. Didn't you say it yesterday? I even asked you if you needed to call the police, and you said it was a family matter and that the police didn't need to get involved."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Do we need the police to help catch the thief in our own home now?"
“This time it’s really been stolen!” Wu Laohu blurted out.
He was just talking nonsense yesterday, but it turned out to be true. Last night, his house was really burgled.
Chu Jiang looked at him with a half-smile.
Wu Laohu felt a pang of guilt and quickly changed his story, "What I meant was that I was robbed again last night."
He sighed inwardly. People just can't lie. One lie leads to countless more to cover it up. It's exhausting.
Chu Jiang was shrewd enough to understand, but since Wu Laohu had come to report the case, he had to follow procedure and immediately assigned two police officers to take charge of Wu Laohu's case.
Two police officers accompanied Wu Laohu back to his home to check and found no signs of forced entry on the doors, windows, or locks. Last night, Wu Laohu's entire family was home, and the doorman and his younger brother were on night duty, yet no one heard any noise.
Everything of value in his house was stolen. Not to mention the gold and silver, many of the larger items were also stolen without a trace.
Wu Laohu was furious. The money on the surface was nothing, not much at all, but the things in his secret room were plentiful, dozens of boxes, each containing a lot of valuable items.
Moving so much stuff is no easy task; it's impossible that they didn't make a sound, unless they were all drugged. But no trace of drugs was found at the scene.
Upon learning of the theft, Wu Laohu immediately gathered people to search, but they found no trace of the items; it was as if the things had vanished into thin air.
Oh, and the chickens he kept in his backyard were also stolen, not even a single feather was left.
Wu Laohu was so angry that he almost crushed his back teeth.
The two police officers investigated the scene and also found it very strange. So many things were moved away overnight, which was very likely the work of a gang. But if it was a gang, it was impossible that they would not have left any trace.
It's a ghost!
Unable to find any clues, the two police officers had no choice but to return to the police station and report to Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang was very surprised to hear this. "All the valuables in the house were stolen, and not a single trace was left?"
"Deputy Director, yes."
Chu Jiang didn't believe it, thinking it was due to his subordinates' incompetence. He went to Wu Laohu's house himself and found the same result after his investigation.
It's strange. I've been a police officer for almost ten years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a bizarre case.
How could this thief be so clever? He emptied someone's house without a sound. How skilled must he be?
The police couldn't find anything, and Wu Laohu was furious. He ordered all his henchmen to investigate, determined to find that damned thief and tear him to pieces.
Lu Feng suddenly remembered something and said, "Godfather, isn't our family's situation exactly the same as what happened to Master Hei last year?"
"Old Hei?" Wu Laohu also remembered. "It is indeed the same. Go and send a telegram to Old Hei, telling him to come over as soon as possible."
The thief who made Wu Laohu grit his teeth in hatred was looking at his spoils in the Chu family's spatial dimension.
That's right, Wu Laohu's house was stolen by Li Xiyue.
Didn't Wu Laohu use the excuse that his house had been burgled yesterday, which is why he arrested the wrong person in the whole city? Of course, she had to help Wu Laohu confirm this.
