Chapter 194: The True and False Chicken Thief

Xu Fugui nodded and admitted honestly: "We two came here this morning and kept the chickens in the backyard. She came back at noon and stole them. There is nothing wrong with that."

"So you don't know when the chicken was lost?"

"Well, we know the approximate time. It was from the morning until the afternoon when we found the chickens were gone."

"Okay, Comrade Qin Huairu should be at work during this time, right? Even if she came back at noon, she should be very busy. How did she catch the chicken, kill it, and pluck its feathers?"

"Isn't there still an afternoon?"

"So, she didn't go to work in the afternoon? Then why did she come back from get off work?"

"I am Qin Huairu's master. I can testify that Qin Huairu went to work as usual this morning." Yi Zhonghai also stood up to testify for Qin Huairu.

"What about my chicken...?"

Xu Fugui himself was confused. If it weren't for the chicken feathers all over the floor in Old Jia's room, he would have suspected that he had wronged someone.

"Yes, I said, we didn't steal your old hen, my daughter-in-law bought it last night and planned to feed it to me to heal my injuries."

Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the better, Jia Zhang immediately changed her statement and no longer admitted her previous confession.

"You? You..." Xu Fugui was so angry that he almost died.

Xu's mother came over quickly and used her hands to stroke Xu Fugui to help him breathe more smoothly.

"This time doesn't make sense. Are the chickens we bought last night being slaughtered now?" Lao Bai immediately spoke up to break Jia Zhang's lie.

"Oh, yeah? Is there something wrong?"

"Of course it's not right. You haven't fed the chicken all day. Won't it crow? Can't the neighbors hear it?"

"No, I fed it."

"Okay, it will be easy if you feed it. What did you feed it? How much did you feed it? Take out the chicken feed naan and take a look, then the truth will be clear."

"Yes, yes, what did you feed the chickens?" Xu Fugui suddenly came to his senses and was no longer depressed.

"Me, what do you care what I feed you?" Jia Zhang was also at a loss for words. When Jia Banggeng killed the chicken, he didn't even show her what was in the chicken feed naan.

"Grandma, chickens eat wheat grains." At this time, Jia Banggeng quietly approached Jia Zhang and whispered to her.

"You still don't admit it, right? Qin Huairu, this chicken was either stolen by you or your son. He has a criminal record, and it wasn't long ago that he stole a chicken last time."

When Xu Damao saw the Jia Bang joke, his imagination immediately opened up and he turned into Sherlock Holmes.

At this time, Lao Bai also nodded slightly, with an expression that said, "I see through everything."

As a result, Jia Zhang suddenly panicked, knowing that something might have been revealed, and hurriedly pulled the stick behind her and started to scold Xu Damao:

"You damn eunuch, please don't wrongly accuse my grandson. He didn't steal it. It was me who stole it. It was me, the old woman, who stole your chicken."

Knowing that she couldn't escape, someone had to step up and take the blame, and Jia Zhang was about to take on everything for her eldest grandson.

"Well, widow Zhang, I've always said that you've been doing a lot of sneaky things over the years, and this time you've finally shown your true colors."

This time, Xu Fugui finally found an opportunity to launch a verbal attack and immediately started talking nonstop.

"Bullshit, you old bastard, which eye of yours saw me cheating? This time..."

As she spoke, Jia Zhang swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"Jia Zhang, you have a wound on your buttocks, how did you catch that chicken?"

Lao Bai's eyes were still bright. How could he let these people get away with it? He went straight to the point.

"He, I, his chicken was as dumb as his family, it didn't even know how to run, I just reached out and caught it."

No matter what excuse she finds, Jia Zhang never forgets to slander the Xu family.

Xu Fugui was so angry that he jumped up and down. No wonder he insisted on moving out of the courtyard house.

One of the reasons is that the company gave him the house, and the second reason is that he really can't make his way in this courtyard.

He is under pressure from the deaf old lady above him, and has three uncles in charge in the middle who have the final say. On top of that, he is always bullied by Jia Zhang. His family only has one room in the courtyard. How can he survive?

"Well, if you keep making such a fuss, you're misleading the direction of our investigation and committing a crime. Be careful or I'll arrest you all."

Old Bai couldn't stand it the most. He kept talking about such trivial things. He glared at the two of them and warned them.

"Now that we've dispatched the police, we will definitely get to the bottom of the matter and give you justice." Lao Bai is still a man of principles.

"Yes, public security comrade, this old woman admitted that she stole my chickens. You should arrest her quickly."

Xu Damao stood up, pointed at Jia Zhang and was about to vent his father's anger, so he asked the police to arrest someone.

"We'll take care of this. Maybe you should stop interrupting us while we're working on the case."

"Tell me first, how can you prove that it is your chicken?"

Lao Bai took the killed chicken from someone else and asked.

"That's right, the chicken that was lost from my house was the one with the khaki feathers." Xu Fugui said, pointing at the chicken in Lao Bai's hand.

Lao Bai ignored him and turned to ask Jia Zhang: "What can you prove that this one is not the one from their family?"

This case might be difficult for an inexperienced public security comrade to handle, but in the hands of veteran criminal policeman Lao Bai, he handled it in an orderly manner.

Although he already had the answer in his heart, he had no way to prove that the chicken was not stolen by Jia Zhang. He could only find loopholes in her words.

Jia Zhang's body trembled, vaguely realizing that Lao Bai seemed to have guessed the truth.

On second thought, I can't let him take my lovely grandson away and put Banggeng in a detention center. That would ruin the child's life.

She quickly thought of a countermeasure and rolled on the ground, saying, "It was me who stole it. You must have a grudge against me. You want to take revenge and you have to make trouble for me."

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Qin Huairu was shocked for a moment when she saw Jia Zhang lying on the ground.

When she got closer, she heard Jia Zhang winking at her.

Qin Huairu once again used her actress-level acting skills, tears came as soon as she said it, and she looked pitiful again. She turned around and apologized to Lao Bai:

"I'm sorry, police officer, my mother-in-law is injured and emotionally unstable."

"I was the one who stole the chicken. If I say so, it's true." Jia Zhang repeated.

"Public security comrades, listen to what she said. Hurry up and arrest her. Take her to the police station and detain her."

Of course Xu Fugui would not miss such a good opportunity and urged Lao Bai again.

Lao Bai frowned, not knowing what to do. He knew very well that the chicken was definitely not stolen by Jia Zhang, but by the child.

However, the case is at a stalemate and I don’t know what to do?
