Chapter Forty-Eight: The Great Detective

Easier said than done.

Bai Zong, the widow, and Lu Lao Er all inquired in their circle of friends.

Although I found a few guys who had a sudden windfall, after questioning, none of them had the possibility of committing a crime.

During the class, Bai Ke's eyes were straight from time to time.

"Hey, hey, how to do this question?" Sun Yuan stabbed Bai Ke.

"Oh," Bai Ke easily reacted and helped Sun Yuan solve the problem.

Sun Yuan pouted: "I'll just say, you have already stolen the course, and you will do it." ”

It's just a waste of time to think so cranky, so it's better to reason about the detective yourself.

After returning to the photo studio at noon, Bai Ke searched around with his hands behind his back.

The widow greeted flatteringly: "The great detective is back!"

The police have been investigating for several days, so don't think about the footprints and fingerprints at the scene.

But there is still something to be seen.

For example, the thief came directly to the house where the money was kept, and basically did not delay in the other rooms.

What does this mean?

Thieves have been to the photo studio.

Of course, it's no.

The photo studio has one hundred and eighty customers every day.

The white guest carefully looked at the broken lock nose again.

It turned out that the thief used a screwdriver to pry the lock nose up.

Now take a closer look, the lock nose is very regular, and the screwdriver may not have that much force.

Nine times out of ten, it's something like a chisel that directly pouts the lock nose to the roots.

It seems that this is not the first time this thief has done such a thing.

Maybe it's a guy with a criminal record.

The white guest came to the courtyard wall again.

The courtyard wall is two meters long, and the traces of thieves climbing are still faintly visible.

There is an empty coal chute just inside the wall of the climbing mark.

In other words, after the thief climbed in, he didn't need to jump at all, and went down directly by stepping on the coal trough.

Acquaintance! This must be an acquaintance committing a crime.

Although the photo studio was full of customers, the customers did not come to the courtyard, so how could he know the situation in the courtyard.

At lunch, Bai Ke solemnly announced his reasoning: "This is done by an acquaintance!"

"Ahh

Lu Yanan couldn't help but glance at the widow.

The widow's face turned red: "Yes, if I do it, go out and let the car run and die!"

Bai Zong also said: "No, no, how can a widow be our own brother who can do that kind of thing." Are you talking about ......?"

Lu Yanan knew that Bai Zong wanted to talk about the cooking aunt, so he hurriedly retorted: "Impossible, impossible." ”

Bai Ke smiled: "I mean, the thief knows our people here, and he should have been here a few times." ”

Bai Zong frowned: "No, after the second child caused that incident, we haven't been to the photo studio anymore." ”

Lu Yanan also said: "Yes, yes, even ordinary friends rarely come. ”

Bai Ke looked at the widow, and the widow hurriedly said, "I, I didn't ...... It seems to ......"

Lu Yanan frowned: "Did you bring someone here when you were on duty?"

The widow sweated down: "The leader has led people back, but, but they are all responsible people, and none of them have squatted." ”

Lu Yanan asked: "Is there a guy who is a petty thief and is not honest?"

"This ......," the widow blushed, "and I used to be a petty thief too. But I can follow the banner, I earn a lot every month, my parents and I said that I have a future, I still want to follow the banner, how can I ......"

Bai Zong patted the widow on the shoulder: "Okay, brother, we are all our own families, don't say those words that are outside." ”

Bai Ke also said, "I mean, the few people you brought in, although there are not necessarily thieves among them, it is always good to know about them." ”

The widow nodded, and thought carefully: "I played cards twice, and I have played four guys before and after. One is the old bear, who works in the tannery......"

"How old is he, what's going on at home. Bai Ke said as he opened his notebook to record.

"Lao Xiong is twenty-four or five years old, and he just became a father last year. His family was quite wealthy, and his father was a cadre in a tannery. ”

"Well, well, who else?"

"The liberation of the army is our last term. He is an unemployed young man, and his family is quite difficult, and he has a very greedy mouth. By the way, this guy is possible. He also asked how much our photo studio would make in a day. I didn't tell him. ”

"Okay, I'll write it down first. ”

"There is also a guy named Xiami, who is not easy to say, he works in the Beiming Fertilizer Factory, he is twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he plans to get married recently, which is very poor. And this guy has a small face, and he is anxious to lose when he plays cards. The last one is Lao Wen, he works in the heavy machinery factory, does lathes, belongs to pigs, their unit salary is quite high, he is very skillful, and his brain is also smart. ”

Bai Ke held up his notebook to take a look, and Bai Zong and Lu Yanan also stretched out their heads to look.

The widow asked urgently, "Do you want to call them here and ask them?"

Bai Zong smiled: "Doesn't that startle the snake?"

Bai Ke said, "It's best to inquire privately." ”

The widow asked, "What do you inquire?"

"Let's see which of them has a lot of money lately. ”

"Okay, let's see who has made a windfall recently, and Lao Tzu killed him. ”

"Don't, don't, inquire first, maybe people made their fortunes from elsewhere, don't mess around. ”

"Okay, I'll inquire first. ”

The widow inquired for a few days and soon brought news.

However, his expression was a little confused: "Lao Wen is quite stable, not like that kind of person." ”

"And has he had a lot of money lately?"

"Yes, people who know him say that he has made a fortune, smokes Chinese cigarettes every day, and gnaws chicken legs all the time......"

Bai Zong said: "Hmph! ”

"What then? Why don't I call him and we'll interrogate him?"

Lu Yanan shook his head: "No, no, this is a private court, it's terrible for my aunt to know." ”

Bai Ke frowned and touched his chin: "This old Wen is a lathe, right?"

"yes, he's pretty good at it. ”

"Then he might be very quick to pick the door and lock it. ”

“……”

"Well, it's time to call him in and ask, oh no, it's to talk. ”

Bai Ke meant, since Lao Wen is a very smart person with good mental quality, if he really did it, he is likely to come if he is called.

Sure enough, the widow invited, and Lao Wen really came.

The widow and Bai Zong were chatting with Lao Wen, when Bai Ke suddenly came over with a wine bottle.

"Brother, here you go!" Bai Ke shouted, throwing the wine bottle into Lao Wen's arms.

Old Wen instinctively reached out and grabbed it.

The white guest came over and grabbed the spout of the bottle with a handkerchief and took the bottle back.

Then a stucco brush was applied to the wine bottle.

Lao Wen looked confused: "This, what is this?"

The widow gritted her teeth: "Fingerprints." ”

"What's it for?"

Bai Ke wanted to scare and scare Lao Wen, but he didn't expect Lao Wen to look like there was nothing wrong.

Bai Zong asked, "Old Wen, I heard that you have made a fortune recently." ”

"No, I don't. ”

"You see you're smoking Chinese cigarettes now. ”

At this time, Lao Wen's expression was a little panicked, and Bai Ke was suddenly ecstatic, it seemed that I was about to find out the truth.

Lao Wen lowered his voice: "You, don't tell anyone." ”

Bai Zong sneered: "You can talk about it first." ”

"Recently, I played a little trick with someone and won a few hundred dollars......"

"Huh?" This time it was the turn of the white customer to be confused.

Two or three days later, when Bai Zong and Bai Ke went home for dinner at night, Qin Yongmei suddenly said happily: "The gang of thieves who stole your photo studio have been caught. ”

Bai Zong said, "Really, aren't you an acquaintance?"

"How can it be an acquaintance. It's a gang of habitual thieves who have been active on South Street and West Street for several months. ”

Bai Ke was a little unwilling: "But how do they know the situation in the photo studio and in the courtyard?"

"Step on the spot, the habitual thief will step on the dot during the day. Remember, if there are strange marks and symbols at the door in the future, you must be careful, it is likely that the thief who stepped on the point is making a mark. ”

"Okay. The white guest ate hard.
