The thief inexplicably regains his head and looks at you with wide eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

All the people are looking at you.

The thief notices that your gaze becomes gentle.

You look at him and gently ask again, "Excuse me, are you Yang Minyi who came to get the boots?" ”

The thief still doesn't understand what you mean. In a panic, he shook his head.

You sigh inwardly. You tried to push away the fog in your mind, and patiently continued to ask: "So, did Yang Minyi entrust you to come over and get your boots to repair?" ”

When the thief heard this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood. So you were trying to save him and try to exonerate him!

You are the lost owner, and you actually took the initiative to exonerate him!

The thief was momentarily puzzled, wondering why you had taken the initiative to exonerate him. But, with everyone watching, he had to react.

So he starts nodding desperately, and looks at you with a pleading eye, struggling to wriggle on the ground, whining.

You walk up to him and reach out and take out the towel that is stuck in his mouth.

The thief whimpered with tears in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "It's ..... him....he ..... let me come over and get ..... boots....go....to fix it!" ”

The events of that day ended like this:

You explain to your neighbors that one of the buckles on your boots is broken (it's true, everyone checks it) and that it is difficult to get the same buckle locally, so after being introduced by an acquaintance, a shoemaker named Yang Minyi said that there is a way to help you get it. In fact, he's got one for you, and wants to take your boots and compare them to see if they're exactly the same, and if so, to help you fix the new buckle.

So you made an appointment with him to come and get it tonight.

Because Yang Minyi lives far away, and you can't come over until after dinner, and you have been in poor health recently and are used to going to bed early, so you make an appointment to put the shoebox on the windowsill. You didn't latch the window before you went to bed, and someone who knows this can pull the window open from the outside, take the shoebox, and push the window back for you from the outside.

Guided by your statement, the thief immediately made up a set of accounts. He lied that he was Yang Minyi's nephew and helped him come to get his boots, because when he walked to the corridor, he suddenly tripped and the power went out, and he was a little afraid of panic, so he forgot to close the window again after getting the boots, and when he walked to the first floor, he lost his way, accidentally walked the wrong exit, and fell into the water of the bomb shelter.

It should be said that your story is not very well written, and if you think about it carefully, there are many flaws.

But you are the owner of the theft, and if you don't think it's theft, the case is very difficult to establish. No one can say that there is no such thing, and even if they see a flaw, they don't know if there is anything else going on in it. At that time, there was a lot of gossip about you. In addition, the weather is indeed strangely cold, and no one wants to go to the police station in the middle of the night.

So, after you have thanked everyone, the crowd slowly dispersed.

The thief's rope was also untied.

You look at the thief shivering in the cold wind, and you say to him wearily, "Come upstairs with me." ”

Now, the thief is wearing your clothes and wrapped in a blanket and sitting at your desk.

Restrained from drowsiness, you pour a jar of hot tea from the thermos and hand it to him.

You sit facing each other. The thief lowered his head and drank the hot water silently.

The carton of that boot is on your desk.

The window facing the hallway was closed and reinserted.

You look at the thief. You ask, "How old are you?" ”

The thief hesitated, and then said in a voice as low as a mosquito's cry, "It's almost nineteen." ”

You say, "When did you fall in love with these boots?" ”

The thief said: "It's been more than a month. One time you came home and I met you on the road, and these boots were shining under your feet, and I knew at a glance that they were not bargains, and they would certainly not be available here. At that time, I had the intention of stealing. I've followed you a few times, and I've been in this building a few times. But I didn't expect that there was a bomb shelter under that plank, and I didn't expect it to be put away. ”

You smile and say, "You like these boots, huh?" ”

The thief said, "Yes." ”

You say, "What should you do with it?" Sold? Or do you wear it yourself? ”

The thief said, "Let's go through the addiction first, and then sell it for some money." ”

You say, "This is a gift from my dad when I was 16 years old." It was a personal gift from the head of a foreign army to my father. ”

You say, "Every day after wearing it, I polish it and put it in the box with the lining." ”

You say, "I cherish it." When I came out of the house, I didn't take anything with me, and these boots were the most valuable things I brought out, one of the only two gifts my father gave me (the other was a tumbler, you gave it to me). ”

When the thief heard this, he bowed his head and did not speak.

After a while, he said, "I stole something that you value so much, why would you let me go?" Why do you want to find a way to excuse me? ”

You smile, and you ask rhetorically, "Don't you want to be let go?" ”

The thief was stopped by your question. He has the courage to look at you. He said, "If you want me to steal something for you, just ask." I'm a thief, but I'm not the kind of person who is ungrateful. Since you saved me once, I will definitely return the favor to you. Whatever you ask me to do, just ask. ”

You smile and say, "Theft is bad behavior." I don't have a need for that. ”

You look down at the size of his feet and weigh them in your mind.

Then, you take the boots from the box, you hand them to him, and you say, "Try your feet." ”

The thief doesn't understand what you mean, and he looks up at you.

You say, "Try it on, didn't you say you like it?" ”

Now, the thief takes a few restrained steps around the room in your boots. He muttered, "It fits well, it's comfortable, it's warm, it's like it's made for my feet." ”

"I haven't worn such expensive boots since I was born," he said. I now know why it's expensive. It's worth the price. ”

You lean back in your chair, feeling the effects of the painkillers seep into every nerve, and you're about to fall asleep again.

You whisper, "Looks like a good fit." Boots also go well with your looks. ”

You see the thief looking at you at a loss.

You say, "Boots, I'll give them to you." ”

You say, "You can go." ”

The thief's eyes are as round as an owl in the middle of the night, and he looks at you, and he can't believe what he's hearing!

You look at him in shock, and you smile tiredly.

You say, "I should have left you to sit for a while, but I'm sleepy and want to sleep." ”

You say, "Bring the door for me when I go out." ”

The thief looks at you for a moment, then takes off those boots. He re-lined the boots and put them in the box.

He stood barefoot on the ground. He whispered, "I can't ask for your boots." I'd better wear my own shoes. Thank you for letting me go. I'll never steal this building again. ”

You say, "It's better not to steal any other building." You know what happens when you get caught. Good luck doesn't happen every time. ”

You say, "Your shoes are full of water, and if you wear them like this, you will freeze your feet." ”

You say, "If you want to return this set of clothes on your body, wash it and send it back to me, if you don't want to return it or it's troublesome, just wear it away." I'll give you boots too. ”

The thief shook his head and said no. He whispered, "I can't take your stuff." ”

You laugh and say, "So what are you doing tonight?" ”

You say, "It's okay, this time, I'm giving it to you sincerely." You say thank you, and you can accept it openly. ”
