Chapter 16: The Truth Revealed
Early the next morning, the police came to the door.
Xia Mu looked haggard and worried all night, and when she saw the police, she couldn't stop crying.
Xia Youzhi patted Xia Mu's back and comforted her silently.
She thought about telling Xia Mu about the passbook, but when she thought of the fact that there were many people, and Xia Mu was a real person, which would affect the plans in the future, Xia Youzhi kept silent.
Thinking of the deployment behind, Xia Youzhi lowered his eyes and covered up his emotions.
"Comrade policeman, please help us recover the passbook, my baby is counting on it when she goes to college this year." Xia Mu said with red eyes and choked up.
When they visited the two policemen in the morning, they already had a general understanding of the situation and attached great importance to the Xia family's case.
Nowadays, the countrymen are still relatively ignorant in their thinking, and their families are poor, and few people can insist on providing for their children to go to school all the time.
When the two policemen looked at it, the Xia family's house was surrounded by walls, and there was nothing of value.
But the victory is clean and tidy, so the impression of the Xia family is also excellent.
"Auntie, don't worry, we won't let go of any bad guy." The younger police comrade was relieved.
His surname is Zhao, and he received a report yesterday, and he rushed to Niujiao Village early this morning with the more senior police officer Yan in the office.
"Tell me about your specific situation." Officer Yan frowned and asked solemnly.
Xia Youzhi, who had been standing next to Xia's mother, patted his mother's hand and stepped forward, "Officer Yan, my mother is too sad now, and there may be some things that can't be explained clearly, let me tell you about the situation." ”
Officer Yan turned his head to look at Xia Youzhi, this girl, although she was young, she looked calm and calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Then tell me about it." Officer Yan nodded.
Xia Youzhi explained the situation in detail, and informed the time and witnesses one by one, but concealed the incident of last night.
Officer Yan frowned, Huang Lianzhi's crime was suspected, but it could not be ruled out that after she took the meat, other people had entered the house.
But if he only searched Xia's mother's room accurately, it means that an acquaintance is more likely to commit a crime.
Officer Yan's expression darkened, and he was thinking about the direction of the next investigation.
When Xia Youzhi saw Officer Yan's eyes, he thought of the police in front of him and guessed that this should be an acquaintance who committed the crime.
"Officer Yan, when I went to my aunt's house, I mentioned the passbook, and my aunt's son was a little panicked, and I don't know why."
Xia Youzhi spoke calmly, only objectively mentioning what he saw.
Officer Yan didn't answer, but just looked at Xia Youzhi, who looked back calmly.
This girl is really smart.
After that, he skipped the topic and asked about other aspects, and after getting the answer, he left with Xiao Zhao and visited other homes.
"Well, you think they can help us find the passbook, right?" Xia Mu looked at the departing policemen and said worriedly.
Xia Youzhi retracted his gaze, looked at Xia's mother with a smile and said, "Mom, we have to trust the police." ”
Xia Mu nodded, and her daughter said that it was okay.
……
The police visited the village for three days.
The people in the village were a little nervous.
Especially Xia Lao's family, the police are watching very closely, Xia Lanhua didn't dare to go to the back mountain again, and she was sitting on pins and needles at home.
"Little brother, don't go out to play too often lately."
Xia Lanhua looked at the big fat who ran in like crazy, and her face was sad.
"Second sister, don't worry, no one sees me." The big fat face was sassy, he was only eight years old, who would have thought that he took it.
"You listen to my sister, I haven't been going out much recently, and the police have come to our house several times."
Xia Lanhua was terrified when she thought of the police staring at her little brother.
"According to me, just let the police arrest him." Xia Juhua pushed the door and walked in, looking at Da Fat with disdain.
Uncle Xia's family is patriarchal, and the girl's name is a random name with flowers.
"Second sister, why did you tell the third sister?" Big Fat looked at Xia Lanhua angrily.
Xia Lanhua was a little embarrassed, the police came every day for the past two days, she was too scared, so she told Xia Juhua.
After all, these sisters in the family have the most ideas for chrysanthemums.
"Little brother, your third sister is used to having ideas, this police officer comes every day, and the second sister is also afraid of being found out." Xia Lanhua said stupidly.
Big Fat puffed, but didn't refute.
Xia Juhua looked at her sister and younger brother, and raised her head proudly, "It's not impossible to do this." ”
"Third sister, you say, what's going on with this?" Xia Juhua hurriedly asked.
"The police have been investigating this for three days, and they are still staring at our house, which shows that in fact, the police did not find any evidence at all, otherwise they would have arrested us a long time ago." Xia Juhua said triumphantly.
Xia Lanhua thought about it for a while, and it really was.
"So, as long as we let my mother go to make trouble with the third aunt, we will say that the family is watched by the police every day, and we can't get off the ground, and we can't open the pot at home.
No, our family will go to Aunt San's house every day to eat and drink, I don't believe she can bear it, and when the time comes, I won't obediently let the police not investigate. ”
"Okay, okay, I'm going to eat at Aunt San's house, and Aunt San's house has meat to eat." The big fat clapped his hands heartlessly.
Xia Lanhua's brows furrowed even deeper.
Thinking of Xia Youzhi's behavior, she doubted that the matter could be solved as easily as Xia Juhua said.
But Da Fat didn't care about Xia Lanhua's thoughts, ran out to find Huang Lianzhi, splashed and rolled, and made Huang Lianzhi go to tell Xia Mu.
Huang Lianzhi really couldn't help it, so he called his children to Xia You's house, thinking that there were many people.
"Cuilian, are you at home?" Huang Lianzhi knocked on the closed door.
It took a long time for the door to open.
Xia Youzhi saw Huang Lianzhi come to the door aggressively, and the corners of his lips hooked up a smile of unknown meaning.
Seeing that the fish is finally about to take the bait.
"Where's your mother?"
Huang Lianzhi frowned when he saw Xia Youzhi who opened the door, pushed Xia Youzhi away and walked into Xia's house.
When Xia Mu heard the sound of the courtyard, she walked out of the room, and when she saw Huang Lianzhi, her brows wrinkled unconsciously, "What's the matter, her eldest aunt." ”
"What's wrong? Hehe, you still ask us what's wrong, it's all your fault. Huang Lianzhi hit a rake and shouted loudly.
Xia Mu's brows furrowed even deeper.
In the past few days, she has been in a low mood because of the loss of her passbook, and now she is even more irritable when she listens to Huang Lianzhi shouting loudly, "What does her aunt mean by this?" ”
"Your family has lost its passbook, so that our family is now being watched every day, you want to kill us, now we can't go to the next land, you support us?"
As soon as Xia's mother wanted to speak, she was stopped by Xia Youzhi, "Auntie said this, if you don't steal our pork, can you be targeted by the police?" ”
Huang Lianzhi choked, this Nizi is specially here to restrain herself, right?
"Anyway, I don't care, you quickly tell the police and tell them not to come." Huang Lianzhi said.
Xia Youzhi was amused for a while.
Feelings, Huang Lianzhi thinks that the police station is opened by their family, and he can come if he wants people to come, and he can leave if he wants people to leave?
"Auntie, we can't agree to this, after all, the police do things, and we can't command us."
"You ......" Huang Lianzhi was angry for a while, and turned his head to look at the Xia family's grandmother behind him, "You two old things, you don't know how to say a word, you know how to eat and drink all day long, and now you can't interject a word about the affairs of the family." ”
Xia Youzhi frowned, this Huang Lianzhi is too arrogant, right?
Her grandfather has been with the mud all his life, and her grandmother is also cowardly, marrying three daughters-in-law, Huang Lianzhi is a shrew, and the second daughter-in-law is sweeping the snow in front of the door.
"Auntie seems to have forgotten that my grandmother's field is still in your hands, and my grandfather usually does all the work in the field, and my grandmother doesn't do less housework at home, right?" Xia Youzhi said coolly.
"You...... You ......" Huang Lianzhi was extremely angry, and turned his head to look at Xia's mother, "Zhang Cuilian, that's how you educate your children?" I don't know how to respect my elders at all. ”
"Auntie, what I mean by this, my mother said to respect the elders, but I see, not all elders are worthy of respect." Xia Youzhi looked directly at Huang Lianzhi and said in a contemptuous tone.
Her aunt's combat power is really not good, and her mother has a good temperament and can be tortured like this.
"Cuilian." Xia Milk said timidly, "Forget it, it's not good-looking." ”
Xia Mu looked at her mother-in-law and was a little sad.
Since she married Xia's father, her mother-in-law has helped her uncle's family, and she has tolerated everything, but why?
"Mother, I can tolerate everything else, but I can't help it, the family's money was stolen, Qingbo can't go to school, isn't this the life of our whole family?" Xia Mu couldn't help but feel sad, and her voice was choked.
Grandma Xia heard that her eldest grandson couldn't go to school, and she felt uncomfortable, "Then you ask the police not to investigate Guozhong's family, let him check elsewhere." ”
"Grandma, let me repeat again, the police station is not opened by our family, besides, since it has not been done, why should it be investigated?"
Xia Youzhi glanced meaningfully at Xia Lanhua who was standing next to her with her head bowed.
"You badass."
Da Fat picked up the stone on the ground and threw it on Xia Youzhi's body, and everyone was shocked by this change.
"It's you scoundrel who let the police uncle harm us." Big Fat pointed at Xia Youzhi and pointed at Xia Youzhi viciously, "It's you!" ”
Xia Qinglin saw Xia Youzhi being smashed, rushed out, and punched Da Fat directly.
In the past few days, he saw that something was wrong at home, so he obediently did not make trouble with Xia Mu and Xia Youzhi, but when he saw the big fat smashing his sister, he was very angry.
The two children scuffled together, and everyone pulled them away.
"Do you think I don't know? Someone saw you enter our house and steal your passbook. ”
Xia Youzhi took advantage of the fact that everyone was pulling away the children, and secretly leaned down and whispered in the big fat ear.
The big fat looked at Xia Youzhi with a shocked face.
"And stole two hundred dollars from me." Xia Youzhi stood up straight and said coldly.
Everyone looked puzzled, only Xia Lanhua fell into an ice cave.
"You are talking nonsense, I took the passbook of the third aunt, and I didn't take your two hundred yuan." The big fat broke free from everyone and roared angrily at Xia Youzhi.
As soon as the words ended, there was silence in the courtyard.
Xia Youzhi hooked the corners of his lips, "It turned out that you took it." ”
