Mr. Tao came out of the room wearing a sweater: "What's wrong?" Tao Zhizhi hurriedly said, "Dad, Mr. Policeman is looking for his sister." ”

Mr. Tao calmed down a little: "Oh, what's the matter?" So late? She's just a child. ”

"That little daughter of your family carried this to the pawnshop for ten yuan, I want to ask where she got this thing." The policeman walked in and put the camera on the table.

"This, pick it up, we poor families, we don't have such a high-end thing." Mrs. Tao suddenly thought of the third daughter saying that Tao Zhizhi had a camera, and she thought it was nonsense at the time, but now she wants to come...... She was nervous and secretly aimed at her eldest daughter.

"This is something from the Jinling Detective Agency, where did she get it, the probability of picking it up on the road is very low."

Tao Zhizhi said loudly: "My sister is only seven years old, so she can only pick it up, what about the second sister?" ”

The little girl poked her head out of the kitchen, and the policeman beckoned: 'Come here, little girl, where did you get this thing?' “

The little girl was so frightened that she wanted to run, but Tao Zhizhi rushed up and grabbed him: "Go and explain it to Mr. Police." She turned her back to the police and said in a very small voice, "Pick it up in the dumpster, stay away from home." ”

As he spoke, he dragged his sister over and said seriously: "Tell the truth to Mr. Police." The old policeman put on a kind face and asked, "Little girl, you took this camera as you, right?" ”

The little girl nodded: "I picked it up, I picked it up from the garbage bin." ”

"Where's the dumpster."

"I can't remember exactly at night, it looks like a garbage bin two blocks ahead. When I saw this thing when I passed by, I picked it up, is it also illegal? ”

The little girl didn't know what the camera was causing trouble with, but it was right to say it farther, not too far, as it would make people wonder how she could run so far at night as a child.

"Did you really pick it up?"; The old policeman asked suspiciously.

"Sir, what's wrong with this camera? Second sister, how much money did you pay, take the money and return it to others. Mr. Tao said with a dark face.

The little girl was so frightened that she was about to cry: "I was ten yuan, I spent two yuan to eat, and now there are only eight yuan left,"

"Death, you must have been deceived, two yuan to buy rice can break your stomach, what have you eaten? And you, what kind of pawnshop do you know how to cheat children, such a big foreign thing is only ten yuan, why don't you go and rob the money! Mrs. Tao raised her slap to hit someone as she spoke, Tao Zhizhi hurriedly hid her sister behind her, and put on a sisterly look: "Mom, my sister is still young, and besides, she picked up something, not stealing." ”

It turns out that this old policeman is very capable, he wants to die is a private detective, they are sneaky, and they all carry messy things with them: cameras, all kinds of business card passes, why is there nothing on this deceased? So he expanded the search and mobilized his informants. As a result, an informant provided an important clue, a child carried a camera this morning as ten yuan, and the camera lens cover happened to be engraved with the words Jinling Detective Agency. The old policeman got the camera, according to the characteristics of the pawnshop owner, asked all the way, the second sister was only a seven-year-old child after all, and she was actually seen by several people when she went out for a walk with the camera, and some people recognized it as a camera, and muttered in their hearts, when did this Tao family develop, and the child ran around with a foreign thing, and he was not afraid of being robbed. The police just asked, and some people said that they saw the children of the Tao family walking with this thing, which Tao family is the one of the two daughters. So the old policeman found here.

The pawnshop guy also pointed to the second sister and said, "That's right, it's her." This camera is stolen goods, and you have to get the money back. ”

"My sister picked it up, how do you know who threw this camera, when it was all done, now you don't want it unilaterally, do you have such a business? In this way, it is also luck that your pawnshop is not closed. Tao Zhizhi didn't give an inch.

The young man's face flushed angrily: "Why do you little girl talk so ugly?" ”

Mr. Tao said: "Give everyone how much money is left." ”

The second sister looked at Mr. Tao helplessly, took out the remaining eight yuan and handed it to the young man.

The seven-year-old can't have anything to do with the murder, maybe she really just picked up the detective agency's camera.

"None of you have seen this camera?" The old policeman asked again.

Mrs. Tao waved her hand again and again: "No, no, I've never seen it." ”

Tao Zhizhi asked: "Then Mr. Policeman, was this camera stolen and thrown away?" ”

She is still wearing the school uniform of the second girls' middle school, a moon-white jacket, a dark blue skirt, a delicate and lovely little face, and clear eyes.

"It's related to a homigre." After the old policeman finished speaking, he saw the girl opposite covering her mouth in surprise, and the little girl who picked up the camera looked up at her sister and pursed the corners of her mouth.

"Oh, bad luck, how can you bring this kind of thing home, and I'll see how I clean you up." Mrs. Tao glared at her second daughter with disgust.

The old policeman couldn't ask anything, so he could only take the pawnshop guy to leave. When the others left, Mr. Tao took a deep look at his eldest daughter. Tao Zhizhi smiled: "It's okay Dad, it's just my sister who is playful for a while." ”

Mrs. Tao looked at Tao Zhizhi suspiciously: "The camera won't have anything to do with you, my sister mentioned that you have a camera." ”

"Mom, the second sister is deliberately looking for trouble, how can I have this thing, I can wear a school uniform, I can't go out to rummage through the garbage can, how embarrassing."

Mrs. Tao thinks about it, the eldest daughter is smart and well-behaved, how can she do such a thing. She waved her fist at her second daughter: "It's all your trouble, and the dead man's things are also brought back, how unlucky." ”

The second sister looked at Tao Zhizhi and bowed her head without saying a word.

"Xiaohui, don't do your homework yet, help Dad copy some documents." Mr. Tao motioned for his daughter to come in with him.

"The police won't suspect us, will they?"

Mr. Tao asked in a low voice after letting his daughter in.

"Dad, we didn't do anything, just copied some ledger manuscripts in your office, don't worry." Tao Zhizhi comforted his father, "You still have to do what you should do every day, it's the same as usual, and no one will find out that something is wrong." "But...... What does the second sister know, will she know everything? ”

"No, it won't. Dad, the second sister is sick with coughing and hemoptysis every day, and if she can't do it, she has to be sent to her hometown in the countryside to recuperate, she is so young, I don't know if she can survive it. ”

Tao Zhizhi stared at her father with a pair of big black and white eyes, and a chill suddenly rose in Mr. Tao's heart: "What do you mean......"

"That's what Daddy meant, Daddy, I'm here to help you."
