35 Stealing money
The guest house is not big, Wen Luzhu and Wen's mother chose a single room, followed the shopkeeper upstairs, and saw the Chase shop on the same floor, Wen Luzhu was even more fortunate to choose a single room.
Both of them were a little tired, and they were about to fall asleep when they closed the door.
However, Wen Luzhu couldn't sleep, the bed cover in this room looked clean, but when she got closer, it smelled musty, which made her want to vomit again.
Mother Wen was already asleep over there, and she didn't want to wake up Mother Wen, so she gritted her teeth, lay on her back and fell asleep, and pulled the quilt covering her body below her chest, and it took a long time before she slowly fell asleep.
Wen Luzhu woke up from a sleep, and Wen's mother had woken up and was sitting in front of the window looking at the street scene downstairs.
Seeing Wen Luzhu wake up, Wen's mother said to her and went downstairs.
Not long after, she came up with a bag of apples, took it to the bathroom to wash it, and then took it out for Wen Luzhu to eat.
"I've already called home and told your dad that I'll be back tomorrow." Wen's mother said to Wen Luzhu.
Wen Luzhu nodded, took a bite of the apple, chewed a few bites and swallowed it, and just wanted to speak, but heard someone outside arguing loudly.
"You stole it, there are only you and me in this room, my money is gone, you didn't steal it, who stole it?" A high-pitched, sharp voice shouted.
"Why did I steal? Do I need to steal your money? You must have lost it yourself, and you must have fallen on me. The other voice was loud and coarse, and it was full of momentum.
Mother Wen and Wen Luzhu glanced at each other, and they didn't plan to open the door to see the excitement.
Mother Wen sighed, "Usually I would choose a Chase shop, but this time I brought you to live in such a room." Luckily, we didn't live in that bunk. ”
Before she finished speaking, the sound of quarreling outside sounded again, "You stole it, you thief, I must report to the police to arrest you!" ”
"Look at your poor and sour appearance, where is the money to steal from me? I can steal you for twice as much as you eat for a meal? Dead poor ghost! ”
"You are not poor, you have the ability to live in a luxury room, and you have the ability to live in a luxury hotel! Aren't you twice as much as me, and it's only three dollars? What are you proud of? Anyway, you hand over the money immediately, or I'll call the police right away. ”
The two voices quarreled loudly, and Wen Luzhu listened to it, feeling as if he was arguing in his own ear.
Her brow furrowed, the sound insulation was so poor, she must have had to bear it at night.
Mother Wen shook her head and said to Wen Luzhu, "You eat apples first, and if you can eat your body, let's go out for a walk, there is a flower and bird market nearby, let's go shopping." After shopping, come back after dinner. ”
She's an elementary school teacher and doesn't like to see this kind of excitement.
Wen Luzhu nodded, concentrating on eating apples.
But the quarrel outside was so loud that even if she didn't have the heart to listen, she could hear it clearly.
The quarrel between the two had escalated into abuse, and the shopkeeper had also come up, but her voice was completely silenced by the two people who were arguing.
After some time, it seemed that someone came again, and the quarrel quieted down, but occasionally a loud noise broke out.
Wen Luzhu felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, and he was also upset when he heard the quarrel outside, so he planned to go out for a walk with Wen's mother.
How did I know that before the two of them packed their things, they heard a knock on the door.
Mother Wen asked Wen Luzhu to sit and went to open the door by herself.
Outside the door stood the owner of the guest house and a uniformed policeman, and when he saw the door open, the owner first stepped forward to say sorry, and then asked, "You haven't been out since you moved in, haven't you?" ”
Mother Wen glanced at the two of them, "My daughter is not feeling well and has been sleeping. When I woke up, I went down to make phone calls and buy apples, in less than fifteen minutes. ”
"That's right, the Chase shop next door lost money, we just searched briefly, but we didn't find it. We asked, and their bunks were not closed, and anyone could enter. You are the closest, and you must pass them when you go downstairs, and I have come here to ask if you have ever been there. ”
Mother Wen's face was a little bad, which was obviously suspicious of her and Wen Luzhu, "None of us have ever been in, and we won't enter someone's room casually without permission." ”
"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to ask clearly. Can anyone prove that you didn't go in? The police officer asked.
When Mother Wen heard this, her face became even more ugly, and as soon as she wanted to speak, Wen Luzhu went over and said sternly,
"Comrade Police, we are also sorry that we lost the money next door, and we can understand if you come here to ask. But please don't look like we're stealing money, you say someone has to prove that we didn't go in, as far as I know, the law says who asserts who bears the evidence, and now you want to say that we went in, please find evidence. ”
When Wen Luzhu said this, the policeman's face was not good, "Didn't I come to ask questions as usual?" Why did you react so much? Wouldn't it be nice for you guys to make it clear? ”
Wen Luzhu wanted to say more, but Wen's mother took the first step and looked at the shopkeeper, "We haven't been in that Chase shop, didn't we say that there is a camera in the hotel?" Just look at the camera. ”
"We're here in a guest house, so we didn't install that." The shopkeeper shook his head and said.
Mother Wen looked at the police officer, "Although we are poor, we are not going to steal money." I am a rural primary school teacher, and I have taught batch after batch of students, and I still know how to behave. Now you say, there is no one on this floor, how can I prove that I haven't been in there and haven't stolen money? ”
The police inspector was speechless for a while, and then waved his hand for a while, "That shouldn't have anything to do with you...... and left."
The shopkeeper followed him and left, Wen Luzhu took the old backpack that Wen's mother was carrying at this time and walked to the door, "Mom, let's go out too." I don't know how long it's going to be noisy here. ”
Mother Wen nodded, and when she went out, she specially said hello to the shopkeeper and the police.
The shopkeeper and the police didn't have time to pay attention to them, nodded and went to appease the two sprinkling women.
Wen Luzhu glanced at one of them, one of them was short and thin, his eyes were red, he stared at the other tall and thin, and shouted for her to return the fifty yuan she had stolen.
Mother Wen and Wen Luzhu left the store and walked not far to the flower and bird market.
The flower and bird market is not large, and the flowers and plants in it are common, and there are not many types. But it's very quiet, just one street away from the bustling street, but it's like two worlds apart.
Wen Luzhu was looking at Luluo, and a magnetic male voice sounded behind him, slightly hesitating, "Wen Luzhu? ”
She heard it, looked back, and saw a handsome guy in a suit and leather shoes, with naturally curly hair.
