Chapter 157: It's All Your Fault
"What?" Xiao Bin's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone, "Is this really the case?" My stock is also ......"
"That's right, there are a total of twelve coal mine stocks for you, and they were all stolen."
"Oops...... Well, I'll be right here!" The phone hung up with a "click". It didn't take long, a quarter of an hour's effort, and Xiao Bin, who was in a trance, arrived by car.
"I ...... My Stocks...... Where was it stolen?"
Xiao Bin was so anxious that he couldn't speak neatly.
"I put the stock on the little table in the bedroom, the one next to the bed. While I was eating dry rice at the restaurant, the thief unknowingly stole the stock ....... This happened just forty minutes ago. ”
"How do you store your shares like that? They should be in a bank or safe!"
Boss Zhang didn't defend himself, he was very frustrated and said, "I'm very sorry! Originally, the shares were deposited in a safe deposit box at Nandu Bank, but because of the long distance, it was very difficult to access them, so I wanted to transfer them to a nearby bank. It's just that I just took it out of the bank yesterday, and who would have thought that it would all be stolen at once, and things would be out of control. I'm really guilty!"
"It's too late for you to say anything! Everything is your fault. You have to compensate me for my stocks, you have to compensate me for my losses, you must compensate me!" Xiao Bin said angrily.
"Yes...... However, all my stock was taken away by thieves...... I'm so poor that I'm penniless, what do you want me to pay you for?"
"Then sell this apartment!"
"However, this is collateral, and it can't be sold!"
In an instant, Xiao Bin also became speechless, not knowing what to do.
The three employees of the stock exchange office were also devastated and sat there one by one as if they were chickens. What they calculated in their hearts was that if Boss Zhang went bankrupt, then this month's salary would definitely be gone. To make matters worse, the stock exchange firm where they work will also close its doors, in which case the three of them will lose their jobs .......
At this time, two young ladies who rented the fourth floor were going downstairs to go out.
"Two young ladies, are you going out?"
Mrs. Yumei asked the two young ladies in a slightly hoarse voice.
"yes, we're going to go out."
"No, you can't! No one is allowed to leave the apartment building. ”
Boss Zhang let out a beast-like cry, which frightened the two young ladies into discoloration.
After all, Xiao Bin is a well-informed old security guard, and he said calmly: "I'm sorry, two young ladies, because there has just been a theft here, and your movement will be restricted until the security guard's investigation and search work is over."
"Of course, this does not mean that the two young ladies are suspects, but I need to question you, and I need your testimony, and I beg you to cooperate with the work."
Next, Xiao Bin asked them about their names, ages, occupations, etc., and the two young ladies were one of the typists Luo Kefei and the other was the guzheng teacher Lin Ya, whose marital status was unmarried.
"We're going to go to the market and buy something."
"Let's have lunch together."
The two of them spoke very lightly, and they didn't see any unusual reaction at all.
Xiao Bin asked Boss Zhang: "There are two young ladies living on the fourth floor, I don't know who lives on the third floor?"
"It is the current municipal governor, the former Minister of Commerce and Trade, Mr. An Zilin." Boss Zhang replied weakly.
"Really? Mr. An Zilin? He's an extraordinary character, is he at home?"
"Not at home, around half past eight, he went out." Mrs. Yumei hurriedly replied.
"Alright, we'll wait here for him to come back!"
Next, everyone present moved their chairs out and sat at the door looking at the apartment, but they did not find the suspicious person.
Xiao Bin's eyes turned around, looking towards the stairs for a while, and then looking at the dusty road, but he was thinking about the twelve stolen stocks in his heart, and he had a feeling of death in his heart.
Near noon, An Zilin came back by car, carrying a black briefcase in his arm. His bearing and demeanor were still as noble and extraordinary as when he was a minister, with two white beards in a figure-of-eight shape, tall and strong, and sharp eyes. He was once a glamorous figure. And now, he is still a veteran of the municipal government with great prestige. He came to the mailbox at the door, and after carefully checking out a few of his letters, he politely nodded to the people around him, and then wanted to go upstairs and leave.
"Please wait, Mr. Ahn." Boss Zhang hurriedly stopped him.
"Are you calling me? Is there anything wrong?"
"Yes, a thief has come in."
"Really? It's incredible, I wonder who the poor victim is?"
"So far, it is known that I have lost a bag of stock, and it is not known if there are any other items that have been stolen, and the ladies who live on the fourth floor have been at home and have not lost anything, but you are not at home, so ......"
"Ahem, the thief will be pulled down if he runs away!"
"No, the thief hasn't escaped from this apartment building yet, it's likely that he's hiding somewhere in the building. Detective Xiao Bin came to investigate the case......"
Hearing Boss Zhang mention himself, Xiao Bin hurriedly took off his hat and saluted An Zilin very formally.
"We searched the apartment with everyone's help, but we still haven't found the thief, so we unanimously determined that the thief is most likely hiding in your room."
"Oh, I see, then please check it!"
However, after some search and searching, no suspicious place was found in Mr. Superintendent's room, and no thief was found. Mr. Superintendent put the briefcase in the closet and said to himself:
"Nothing suspicious, maybe slipped."
And just like that, everyone came downstairs again. Boss Zhang instructed his three staff members to monitor the door of the apartment, and he and Xiao Bin walked into a small bar facing the apartment, where they sat and could have a full view of the apartment's every move.
However, at this time, Xiao Bin felt that the coffee was tasteless. Because the twelve stocks lost today are almost all his property, he has served in the Security Bureau for decades, saving little by little, and when the savings change from less to more, he feels that life is so good, and life is more enjoyable.
At the beginning, he was like a vole, storing beans one after another, and when the number became larger, he bought the twelve stocks through Boss Zhang's intermediary. Now, those twelve stocks are nowhere to be found. He was in a very heavy mood, he didn't have any thoughts about life, and his mind began to be a little confused. When he looked out the window in dismay, Boss Zhang went out to make a call, but he didn't notice it.
"Mr. Xiao Bin, you should cheer up!"
After Boss Zhang called back, he saw Xiao Bin's lost soul, so he said this, and at the same time shook his shoulder with his hand, Xiao Bin heard what he said, raised his head, and said, "How can I cheer up?" My belongings have been stolen!"
