Chapter 234: Recovering Stolen Goods
We had breakfast and went back to our room to sleep. I couldn't help but sigh with Tan Zhe: "In our line of work, the same thing that is not good for the top is that the day and night are reversed, and the errands are mostly done at night, it is said that after a long time, it will be bald......"
Tan Zhe also yawned: "I'll talk about Xie Ding later, now I just want to sleep." The cold wind is blowing like this night, I'm afraid I'm going to catch a cold! ”
"By the way, who did you just hear from? So surprised? ”
Tan Zhe waved his hand: "I'll tell you later."
This night, I slept so groggy that I didn't even eat lunch. When he got up in the evening, Tan Zhe's voice was really a little hoarse.
Wen Jun hurriedly ordered someone to ask for a doctor and boil ginger soup, and by the way, he also counted the two of us again: "You two don't sleep at night and don't know what to run around." I tell you, when you are young, you don't know how to take care of your body, but when you are old, you have your sins. ”
We reluctantly agreed. After a while, Sister Ma shortened two bowls of ginger soup, Tan Zhe drank one bowl, and Wen Jun insisted that I also drink one bowl.
I happily dried the bowl of ginger soup, but Sister Ma hesitated a little and stood there and didn't leave.
I asked her, "Sister Ma, is there something wrong?"
Sister Ma smiled "hehe", not as domineering as yesterday morning. Awkwardly said, "It's a little bit of a thought...... I would like to ask Mr. Liu to help......"
I already had a plan in my heart, but I pretended not to understand and asked her, "What is the matter?"
Sister Ma rubbed her hands and hesitated for a long time before saying, "My hand is ...... This hand ......," she said, pulling up the sleeve, and saw that her thin arm was covered with black fine lines, like blood vessels, from the base of the palm upwards, to the place where the sleeve was pulled up.
Wen Jun was a little shocked, covered his mouth and asked in horror, "What's the matter with you?"
Sister Ma hurriedly put down her sleeve tube, and said with a sad face, "I don't know...... I woke up like this in the morning, it didn't hurt or itch, but it was scary...... Mr. Liu, look, what's going on? ”
I smiled coldly and said, "This is something that is not clean, have you taken anything that you shouldn't have taken recently?"
Sister Ma's face became more and more ugly, shook her head, and stammered, "No, I didn't take anything...... That's it...... It's the tea bowl on the table yesterday......"
Wen Jun's face also changed: "What tea bowl?" Isn't it the one you lost yesterday? ”
Sister Ma hung her head and whispered, "Maybe." I got up early yesterday morning, and saw a big bowl on the tea table, and there was a bowl of smelly hot tea in it, I thought someone had drunk the tea and forgot to put it away, so I splashed the tea inside, washed the big bowl and put it in the kitchen! ”
I snorted and said, "Did you pour the water on the greenery in the kitchen door?"
Sister Ma didn't say anything, and nodded in acknowledgement.
Wen Jun couldn't get angry. However, her good upbringing made it easy for her not to say something that would be out of character: "How can you do this? When you asked Liu Mi yesterday, why didn't you say it? ”
Sister Ma defended: "After I put the big bowl in the kitchen, the thing is gone, I ...... I was a little worried, so I didn't admit it! ”
"Nonsense!" I yelled at her, "It didn't take much time between you taking the bowl and when we found it missing." We were all in the living room at the time, how did you know that the big gaiwan disappeared? If it's because you're afraid, it's even more wrong, something so strange happened at home, and the big gaiwan that you put away disappeared out of thin air, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, why wouldn't you tell me and Tan Zhe? It's clear that you have a mind, and you see that thing is a treasure and want to keep it for yourself, so you don't dare to say it! ”
Sister Ma still vigorously explained that she didn't mean it, but Tan Zhe didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so she asked directly: "What about that thing?" Where is it now? ”
Sister Ma spread her hands and looked innocent: "It's really gone!"
"Isn't Sister Zhu also sick? What is the disease? ”
Sister Ma shook her head and said, "I don't know." She called me this morning and said she was a little sick and couldn't get out of bed! I don't know the specifics! ”
"Where is Sister Zhu's house? Is it far from here? ”
"Sister Zhu is from Gezhuang Village, and it's very close to here."
Tan Zhe and I went back to pack our things, and then asked Sister Ma to take us to Sister Zhu's house to have a look.
Gezhuang Village is not far from Tan Zhe's house, and after driving in the car, I saw the lights flickering in the night for about one or two minutes.
Sister Ma led us into the village and found Sister Zhu's house in the last alley at the end of the village.
The person who came to open the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a simple face, who we were looking for.
We explained our intentions, and he was a little skeptical. In the end, Tan Zhe made a quick decision and yelled: "If you don't let us go in again, Sister Zhu will die!"
In fact, Sister Zhu's situation is far less urgent than Tan Zhe said, but if Tan Zhe doesn't scare him, I'm afraid he will have to stay here to delay time.
It's just that I didn't expect that Sister Zhu's husband was quite a big man, and when he heard that Sister Zhu's life was on the verge of death, he immediately panicked.
hurriedly invited us inside, and happened to meet Sister Zhu walking out of the house wearing a big jacket.
It was almost the middle of winter, but the winter in the south was not so cold at all, but Sister Zhu wrapped herself like a zongzi, which was really an exaggeration.
As soon as she saw us, she was sixty percent surprised: "Second Young Master, Sister Ma, why are you here?"
We told the story of the story. Sister Zhu said strangely: "I don't, I haven't seen any big bowls!"
"And you're sick?"
Sister Zhu coughed twice, tightened her jacket, and said, "It may be a fever." It's out of the way, I've already gone to the village health center to get an injection, and I should be fine after a good night's sleep. ”
Tan Zhe asked her, "Then you don't have anything strange on your skin?"
Sister Zhu was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Yes, how do you know?" I had black lines on my body, like blood vessels. The doctor in the village couldn't see why, so I was going to the big hospital in the city tomorrow to ask! ”
She pulled her sleeves, and sure enough, we saw the same black lines on her body as Sister Ma.
"You're like this, you dare to say that you haven't touched the big bowl!"
Sister Zhu was also anxious: "Second Young Master, before you came back, I did a good job at your house, and as soon as you came home, you said that I stole your family's big bowl!" You can't do that! ”
It doesn't look like she is lying at all, but how to explain the black lines on her body?
We were at a loss when there was a sudden commotion in the village!
