When I went home, I still took the car, saying that I was "sitting", but in fact I was standing, and it was time to get off work at noon, and the car was crowded and quite crowded. Lao Mao held the horizontal bar with one hand and protected Xiaoyi with the other.

"Hold on, it'll be there in a few minutes." Mao Bowen looked at Xiaoyi a little disgusted, and his eyes were a little strange, guessing that the little guy might be motion sickness.

"Grandpa, what is that uncle doing?" Xiao Yi squinted and pointed to a middle-aged man in a black shirt two meters in front of him.

The car was very noisy, and Lao Mao didn't hear what Xiaoyi said, but he was really surprised when he looked in the direction of his finger. I saw a sturdy middle-aged man standing next to a seated young woman, who probably fell asleep on a chair because she hadn't rested well yesterday. There is no vigilance when people sleep, and the bad thing is that her satchel is in the crook of her arm, right under the nose of the middle-aged man.

Lao Mao thought about it for a while, this middle-aged man began to get in the car and look left and right, and then squeezed inside, he wanted to see the target and then wait for the opportunity to start. Sure enough, it's an old thief.

What to do? This thief was born with five big and three thick, how to choose his old bones, he is alone, and Xiaoyi is on the side, if he really encounters a bandit, I am afraid the consequences will be very serious.

Maybe the young woman's bag was clamped tighter, or maybe the thief was a little weaker, and he still didn't succeed for a long time, at this time he was anxious and timid, shook his head and slanted at everyone, and this time his eyes happened to meet Lao Mao. Old guy, you dare to stare at me in the whole car.

may be irritated by Lao Mao's challenge, or may be inspired by the "ignorance" of most people, in short, the strong man is running towards the goal again.

In broad daylight, it is unreasonable to be so unscrupulous. Lao Mao really couldn't stand it, and at the moment when the strong man succeeded, Lao Mao had already approached sideways and woke up the young woman.

"Thief!" Screams rang out.

"Fart, your bag fell to the ground, I'm helping you pick it up, talk nonsense, be careful I beat you!" The strong man argued brutally, and at the same time turned his head and stared at Lao Mao fiercely.

The young woman checked her satchel and decided to silence it after making sure she hadn't lost anything.

The boring carriage suddenly fell silent. The car continued to drive forward as if nothing had happened. Soon, Lao Mao got out of the car, and the middle-aged man followed.

"Grandpa, that uncle has such a fierce look in his eyes."

"Xiaoyi, wait a minute, if that uncle beats grandpa, you have to run quickly, the farther you run, the better."

"Why? Why did he hit Grandpa? ”

"He's a thief, he's a bad guy."

"Bad guys!" The little guy looked back at the middle-aged man, as if he was very excited.

There are many people who just got off the bus, and the middle-aged people who are old and hairy don't dare to do it, but the turn is a small alley. He had to be on guard.

"Old fellow, today you ruined Lao Tzu's good deeds, do you want to leave so easily?"

"What do you want?"

"How? Hum! Eat me with a fist. ”

The evil man's anger was hard to dissipate, and this punch was swung at Lao Mao, and he was really going to be sent to the hospital.

"Xiaoyi, run!" Lao Mao thought that he must be entangled so that Xiaoyi would have time to run. But Xiaoyi ran, but instead of running into the alley, he faced the direction from which the person came.

"Oops!" A miserable cry pierced the sky, and it was the thief who fell to the ground. Lao Mao was taken aback and didn't know what was going on.

It turned out that the thief just wanted to beat him up to vent his anger, and he didn't expect a child to plot against himself. As for how Xiao Yi plotted against him, Lao Mao didn't know until later.

In the afternoon, his son Tingzhi rushed back and bought a lot of clothes and toys for the children. Little Red Riding Hood is a lace pleated skirt worn on the body like a flower butterfly fluttering; The little rabbit is a remote-controlled racing car, and the little one is so happy that he crawls on the ground to chase the car; Xiaoyi's gift is very special, a pen-shaped sword pendant, Tingzhi thinks that Xiaoyi's previous stone is too earthy, and he specially chooses it for him, the integration of civil and military, it is indeed very meaningful, but the little guy doesn't understand the reason, but he also rubs his love and can't put it down.

Dinner is Xiao Lanzhang's kitchen. In the past two months, it has been rare for the whole family to have a reunion dinner together, but Tingzhi's appetite is not very good, and the strange thing is that he has obviously grown fatter than before, and his spirit is much better than before. In contrast, Xiaolan has lost a lot of weight, she watched her husband happily report to everyone, and she felt an inexplicable inferiority complex in her heart.

Although Mao Bowen and Jin Jian have a disagreement, he does not interfere in his son's work, and his wife is still a little troubled, but he is much relieved to see his son's handsome look.

"We're getting ready to take the kids to the zoo, do you have time tomorrow?" Xiaolan asked weakly.

"Oh, I don't have time, I'm going to fly over tomorrow morning, you don't have to worry, this undersea expedition is sponsored by a large company, and our food is good." By the way, Dad, you said on the phone that you have something to wait for me to come back to discuss, what's the matter? ”

"That's right, your Uncle Jin's house is in trouble now, Aunt Zhang is very sick and needs money, I think you should stop buying a car and lend the money to Uncle Jin, how about it?"

Tingzhi was not as surprised as he imagined, and just asked:

"No, Uncle Kim never mentioned it to us."

"What! This disease can't be cured in a million? ”

But the son listened to his father's opinion very happily this time, if you don't buy the car, don't buy it, and talk about it when you have money in the future, the son is so good at talking really makes Mao's father overjoyed, he originally prepared a lot of enlightening words, what Uncle Jin used to be so good to our family, and Aunt Zhang was also so good. I didn't expect it to be useless now, hehe! The children can be taught.

Sometimes happy and sometimes worried, on the second day of his son Tingzhi's departure, Dr. Mao's home was burglarized, the thief seemed to have come in from the outside window, the money didn't take much, the thousand yuan in the drawer was gone, that was the son's daily living expenses handed over to him when he came back, this Dr. Mao didn't feel distressed, but the small box next to the thousand yuan was gone, this is terrible, it contains Xiaoyi's stone pendant, how can you lose it!

The police came very quickly, took pictures, prepared the case, and wanted to collect fingerprints, but they didn't, it seems that this is a habitual thief. Mao Bowen was very angry, but no matter how angry he was, it was useless. Solving the case is the police's business, and he may only be able to count on the thief's conscience to find out.

There is a miracle in the world, and on the fourth day of the theft, the police came with the news that the thief had been caught and the lost property had been found. But at the same time, there was also a call from the school, saying that Jin Jian's wife Zhang Qin had been in a car accident the day before, and she left before she could be sent to the hospital.

The difference between the two messages is less than ten minutes, and poor Mao Bowen is like a multi-flavored bottle in his heart, sweet and sour. There are mixed flavors. Not only that, but in the afternoon, he went to the police station to learn about the case, only to learn that the thief was actually his son, and it was Mao Tingzhi.

Early the next morning, Gong Chen, who was in charge of investigating the case at the Public Security Bureau, received him. I don't know the motive of the suspect yet, but the identity has been determined, it is Mao Tingzhi. This made Mao Bowen so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. However, the police consider that the suspect is an immediate family member of the person, and the case is not so complicated. It's just that there are still some differences in the identification of stolen goods. (Explained later)

What happened is like this, Mao Tingzhi didn't know where he learned about Xiao Qinyi's stone pendant, so he went home and wanted to steal the beams and change the pillars, and after knowing the location of the target, he learned that the family was going to the zoo the next day, so under the guise of returning to Beijing ahead of schedule, he faked the scene of the theft (in fact, he came in directly from the gate), and he thought about it in all aspects. It's a pity that he was arrested by the police when he contacted the connector. The police report said that there was an anonymous person who reported it, and the time and place were very clear, so it was easy to solve the case. It's a pity that the connector is actually a primary school student, the child speaks very clearly, an uncle wearing sunglasses asked him to do this, speaking Mandarin, tall, short, fat and thin is unreliable, one meter six in a while. One will be one meter eight, that's all. Finding such a person in the vast world is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. The buyer behind it is a mystery, which does not affect the investigation of this case.

In the afternoon, Jin Jian also rushed back from Zhejiang, because he was the leader of Mao Tingzhi and needed him to cooperate with the questioning.

In the next few days, the case seemed to have become basically clear: the suspect was the son of the client, and as long as the client had reservations about the identification of the stolen goods, he could request that the prosecution be dropped. The problem lies in the string of stone pendants. As long as Dr. Mao determines the ownership of the stone pendant, such as whether it is his own family heirloom or given by someone else, etc., it can be used as a reason to withdraw the lawsuit.

Seeing Jin Jian's aggressive eyes, Mao Bowen submitted his testimony helplessly: The stone pendant is not his family, but belongs to the temporarily adopted child Qin Yi.

Since then, the case has been clearly determined that Mao Tingzhi committed the crime of theft, the motive for the crime is obvious, and the crime is established.

It's just that in terms of sentencing, the court has a big contrast between the front and back, because the value of the stolen goods involved in the case was not known in the early stage, and the sentence was five months at first, but the police showed a bank remittance slip, which was remitted to the suspect on the day of the crime, amounting to 100,000 yuan. The suspect also admitted that the money was paid by the buyer in advance. In view of this, the court changed the verdict: the suspect Mao Tingzhi was convicted of the crime of stealing other people's property, although the suspect pleaded guilty better, but the amount involved was particularly huge, so he was sentenced to three years and six months in prison.

On the last day of the court trial, Mao Bowen himself didn't know how to get out of the court, when he saw his son's weeping eyes, how could he be indifferent as a father? Deep down in his heart, he knows very well that he is sorry for Jin Jian and his wife, sorry for his son, and all his efforts are to keep his promise to the people of Qincun. There are no options and no options.
