After playing with the copper lock from his hand for a while, Liu Xia asked Hou Shengnan: "Did you really lose your three gold coins?"

"What do you mean?" glanced at Liu Xia stunned, and Hou Sheng angrily angered Liu Xia: "Of course I lost my gold coins, if I didn't lose them, who would dare to find fault with the government? If the gold coins were not lost, would I dare to provoke Deputy Mayor Huang?"

Also, look at the mess in my drawer, someone must have stolen something, otherwise, I wouldn't be like this here, little comrade, can you catch thieves?"

Ignoring Hou Shengnan's questioning, Liu Xia raised the copper lock in his hand and looked at Hou Xingguo, the village party secretary: "Village Chief Hou, I will inquire with you about something, how is Hou Shengnan's character and reputation in the village? Will she falsely accuse Deputy Mayor Huang?"

"Her character is okay. Speaking of this, Hou Xingguo looked at Hou Shengnan opposite, thought about it carefully, and then replied: "Her reputation is not bad, she shouldn't slander others, it's not good, her gold coins may really be stolen." ”

"I don't know why, I don't easily believe what others say, but I believe yours. While speaking, Liu Xia took out the printing pad in his briefcase, and then he took out a blank piece of paper.

Put the printing pad and white paper on the table, and let the people at the scene, including Deputy Mayor Huang, print their fingerprints on the white paper in turn, and seeing Liu Xia's movements, Deputy Mayor Huang didn't say anything, and took the lead to walk to the table and press his fingerprint.

"Everyone come and press the mudra, if anyone dares to press the handprint, then he is the thief, I have to find the thief today. After pressing the handprint, Deputy Mayor Huang motioned to everyone in the house to go and press the handprint.

When everyone left their handprints on the paper, Liu Xia folded the paper and put it away neatly, and then asked everyone to go to the office of the village committee to wait for the news, and when he heard that he was going to the village committee, Hou Xingguo hurriedly opened the door, he raised his hand and lifted the door curtain, and asked Deputy Mayor Huang and several cadres of the town government to go first with a polite look on his face.

Deputy Mayor Huang and they seemed to be accustomed to the village cadres helping to open the door, and seeing Hou Xingguo helping to lift the curtain, several of them walked out confidently, because Liu Xia was young and his position was low, so he and Liu Liangbao walked behind.

Liu Xia put Liu Liangbao in front, he deliberately took a step back, and when he passed by Hou Xingguo, he whispered to Hou Xingguo:

"I already know that you stole those three gold coins. If you can hand over the gold coins before everyone arrives at the village committee, I will assume that nothing has happened, otherwise I will have to go about my business. ”

"What do you mean ------?" Hou Xingguo looked at Liu Xia nervously, looked at it for a while, and then he shook his head: "I don't know what you mean, why did you suddenly doubt me?"

"Because I saw your fingerprints. Liu Xia said lightly.

"Fingerprints? What's wrong with that?" Hou Xingguo said in surprise.

"You pressed it, but when you pressed the thumb and index finger of your left hand, you deliberately rubbed it, although it looks like the two fingerprints were pressed, but if you take it for identification, there will definitely be overlapping failures. ”

"What thumb and index finger? I don't understand what you're talking about, why am I doing this?" asked Liu Xia.

"What do you say?" asked Liu Xia rhetorically.
