Anyway, Lin An knew Xu Wanning's little secret, so they agreed to wait until they got to the courtyard and then fill the barrel without anyone paying attention.

"We're finally here, Dad, please put the barrel down quickly, you must be exhausted."

Jinchu said with a distressed look on his face: "I want to help dad, but dad won't let me carry the bucket. It must be very hard for dad to carry such a heavy thing along the way."

"I am the only man in the family, so of course I have to do this physical work. When Songhan and Chulin grow up, they can help me."

"Dad, give me another five years, no, at most three years. After three years, I will be able to help dad!"

"Uncle, I am three years younger than Brother Songhan, so please give me another six years. After six years, Brother Songhan and I will help uncle together. From now on, my brother and I will each carry a bucket, and uncle will not have to carry one! "

Chu Lin's milky voice made several adults laugh.

"Six years later, we have two more upright men in our family. It's exciting to think about it." Xu Wanning joked with a smile, took out the key from her bag and opened the door.

But when she saw the situation in the yard clearly, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

"What's wrong, Aning?"

Mother Lin entered the door immediately after her. Seeing the mess in the yard, she asked, "Is it because it rained before that the beams collapsed? Such an old house cannot be inhabited for a long time. Without the pyrotechnics, the wood would be prone to decay and accidents would happen."

"No, this is not an accident, but caused by man." Xu Wanning said with a stern face: "The day I invited my family to our house for hot pot, I came here to pick up things. The house was still in good condition at that time."

After that, there was no strong wind or heavy rain. It is conceivable that someone did this deliberately.

As for who it is, Xu Wanning already has a guess.

Xu Wanning signaled Lin An to put the barrel in the corner, stood at the door deliberately, and asked loudly: "Lin An, you are familiar with the people from the Public Security Bureau, please go and report it to the police for me now, saying that someone deliberately Destroy my house. Judging from the extent of the damage at the scene, squatting on the fence for three to five years is not a problem, right?"

"Of course. Deliberately destroying other people's valuable things is a serious crime and you will be severely punished. An Ning, wait, I will report it to the police."

Lin An had just turned around and walked a few steps away when he was stopped by someone.

"Ahem, comrade, you haven't figured out what's going on yet, so you just rashly reported it to the police. Isn't that bad?"

The person who stopped Lin An was naturally the middle-aged woman Xu Wanning met that day who wanted to forcefully sell her house.

Lin An ignored her, just stood still and looked at Xu Wanning, waiting for her to speak.

"The purpose of the public security is to serve the people. Now that my house has been deliberately destroyed, shouldn't I report it to the police? Although it is only my house that has been destroyed, it does not mean that the evildoers will not stop there. Wan What if he destroyed someone else’s house again?”

"It is obvious that I can eliminate the source, but if I do nothing and cause other comrades and even the collective interests of the country to be harmed, my conscience will not be at ease!"

The middle-aged woman became anxious and said hurriedly: "What if, I mean what if, if this is done by a street kid who is used to petty theft, aren't you..."

"What's wrong with me? Even if I'm a street kid, I'm a Chinese, so I should be punished by Chinese laws! As I said, my house was the first to be damaged. If I don't do anything, others will be punished by Chinese laws. My neighbors’ houses were destroyed, and my conscience is uneasy! Lin An, go report it to the police.”

Lin An looked at Xu Wanning and saw her firm eyes, knowing that she was really determined to report it to the police, so she left directly.

The middle-aged woman wanted to stop him, but she didn't, so she just broke the jar and threw it.

Anyway, when she sneaked in, it was already dark and no one saw her.

Even if the police come, no one will know that she did it!

But this feeling of luck only lasted for a short while. When the police arrived, they asked Xu Wanning a few questions and then went straight to her.

"We received a report that you deliberately destroyed other people's houses. Is this true?"

"Comrade Public Security, you must be mistaken! I have no grievances against her. We have never even met. She is so good. Why should I destroy her house?"

"We have never met? Are you sure?" Xu Wanning looked at the other party expressionlessly: "Two weeks ago, wasn't it you who asked me to buy your house for a high price of [-]? Or, this Is there anyone in the world who looks exactly like you?”

The middle-aged woman's lie was exposed, but she was not in a hurry. She frowned and said: "You have no basis for what you say. Why do you think it is true? I also said you recognized the wrong person!"

Xu Wanning was not willing to talk nonsense to her and asked the police directly: "Comrade police, can't we identify the suspect through fingerprint comparison technology? Also, since the suspect entered my yard, her footprints must have been left in the yard. Can we also judge by footprints?"

"Aning!" Lin An hurriedly stood in front of Xu Wanning and said to the police: "Let's compare the footprints first. After Comrade Xu Wanning came last Saturday, no one except the suspect has entered the yard again. The footprints are very Good collection.”

The policeman and Lin An were also acquaintances, so he said, "Okay, let's collect the footprints first."

After the police left, Lin An looked down at Xu Wanning with a solemn expression: "You just said the wrong thing."

"Is it fingerprint comparison?" Xu Wanning lowered her voice and asked, "Is there no fingerprint comparison yet?"

Lin An shook his head: "Yes, but firstly, extracting fingerprints is cumbersome and complicated. Secondly, the fingerprint database is incomplete and the comparison work is very difficult. Therefore, fingerprint comparison is currently only used when necessary, and most people have probably not heard of it. Passed. You just spoke too fast, I didn’t even have time to stop you."

Xu Wanning really didn't know which year fingerprint comparison started to be widely used.

But it's not a big problem.

"The concept of fingerprint comparison has been around since the Qin Dynasty. Don't worry, if anyone really raises questions, I have an excuse to evade it."

Lin An nodded: "In the future, I still have to be more careful, otherwise I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, it will be fine." Xu Wanning squeezed Lin An's palm quietly: "If I hadn't thought that you were by my side and would always be there for me, I wouldn't have been so smooth and bald."

But Lin An was right to remind her, she was indeed a little too reckless just now.

Fortunately, the case she encountered only required a fingerprint comparison.
