Yi Zhonghai came to the Jia family.

He ignored Jia Zhang who was still scolding Qin Huairu, and stared straight at Bang Geng.

However, I was still stunned when I saw Banggeng’s bruised face.

I wondered in my heart whether the Jia family had already known that Banggeng was the one who stole the money and had already beaten him up.

Bang Geng was so scared when he saw Yi Zhonghai's cold eyes that he shrank into the corner.

At this time, Jia Zhang felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she let go of Qin Huairu and asked:

"Old Yi, what happened? Did you find the thief?"

Yi Zhonghai said in a suppressed tone: "My family's money is also missing, much more than your family lost."

Jia Zhang was shocked, and then heartbroken, because she had long regarded Yi Zhonghai's family's savings as her Jia family's.

After all, the Yi family is extinct, and Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, so the house and money will definitely be left to Dongxu and Banggeng of her family.

Before Jia Zhang could slap her thigh in anger, Yi Zhonghai continued, "There is a clue of the thief in my house, there is a footprint in the closet.

Bang Geng, where did you play this afternoon?"

Jia Zhang was originally quite excited about the clue of the thief, but when he heard that the suspect was Bang Geng, he became a little unhappy.

Even Qin Huairu wiped away her tears and said quickly, "Uncle, how dare Banggeng take so much money? It must be a misunderstanding."

Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "I am just asking him, the police will be here soon, if it is really a great joke, his life will be over.

If you have it, please bring it out as soon as possible. Both our families will say we have found it, and this matter can be over."

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu also thought it made sense, and quickly asked, "Bang Geng, tell me the truth, did you take grandma's money and uncle's money for fun?"

Bang Geng said timidly: "I didn't take it. I don't even know where grandma keeps her money."

Yi Zhonghai saw that Bang Geng was timid and was a little suspicious. He threatened:

"Bang Geng, if you have taken it, hand it over immediately, or you will be arrested by the police."

Bang Geng still shook his head. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said:

"Bang Geng, tell the truth. If you are found to be lying, you will have no meat to eat for the rest of your life."

Bang Geng burst into tears when he heard this, sobbing:

"I didn't steal any money. I just stole a piece of candy today. I wanted to eat meat. I didn't lie."

Jia Zhang nodded in satisfaction. She knew her grandson well. She looked at Yi Zhonghai and assured him:

"It definitely wasn't Bang Geng's doing. Compared to the consequences of stealing money, what he fears most is not having meat to eat in the future."

Yi Zhonghai was a little suspicious. Could it be that it really wasn't Banggeng's doing? But there were not many suitable children in the courtyard, and he also had to be familiar with the situations of the two families.

Could it be that the person who stole the money deliberately left misleading information?

He still wanted to confirm it one last time, so he said, "Where are Banggeng's shoes? I'll take them to compare."

But at this time, shouts were heard outside the house, and the police had arrived.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to give up and quickly went out to cooperate with the police.

Now that he is the biggest victim, he naturally has no objection to reporting the case to the police.

At this time, the residents who went home to check returned to the central courtyard and found nothing missing. It seemed that only two families were affected.

The person who came from the street office was a young man. When he saw the police coming, he didn't say much. He just stood aside with a notebook, ready to take notes.

The police officer who came was Captain Tan. When he saw Yi Zhonghai, he said seriously:

"Master Yi, please describe what happened in detail."

Yi Zhonghai could only describe the incident in detail.

But halfway through the conversation, Captain Tan asked incredulously, "How much money did you say you lost?"

Yi Zhonghai repeated bitterly, "More than 3,000 yuan in my family is gone."

Everyone in the yard gasped, marveling at the old man's wealth and being surprised at the thief's audacity.

If I get caught, I'll definitely end up eating peanuts.

Captain Tan felt that the matter was serious. This was a big case!

So he told a police officer nearby, "Go back and get some people here right away, including those who are going home after get off work."

He then instructed another policeman, "Go and guard the gate immediately. From now on, no one is allowed to leave."

The residents in the courtyard all felt a chill in their hearts, some worried that their families would be implicated.

In fact, even Cao Anping was a little nervous, wondering if he had made things too big.

His mindset has not completely changed, and he does not realize what level a case worth a few thousand dollars is in this era.

If something goes wrong, the subdistrict office and the local police station will be in trouble.

After giving his instructions, Captain Tan asked Yi Zhonghai, "Has the scene been damaged? Do you have any clues?"

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment.

Captain Tan saw his face turn serious and shouted, "Yi Zhonghai, don't worry, just tell us what you think, we will check it out."

Yi Zhonghai would definitely say something too. With so much money, how could he not want to get it back?

The hesitation was just intentional. He still suspected that it was Bang Geng who did it. He was asked by the police to speak out instead of speaking out on his own initiative so that he would have a chance to ease the situation with Jia Dongxu in the future.

Now that the money is gone, we can’t let go of the elderly.

He said with a complicated expression: "There are two children's footprints in my closet."

The onlookers started to make a noise again. Could such a big thing be done by a child?

Those who have children at home were a little nervous, wondering if it was their own naughty children who did it. Some parents even started to scare and question them on the spot.

Captain Tan was also a little bit unconvinced, but if it was really done by a child, then it would be a good thing.

At least the impact of this case will not be that great. It can be said that it was just the children who were ignorant and playful.

Captain Tan asked again: "Did the other family leave any clues?"

Yi Zhonghai turned his head and signaled Jia Zhang to speak with his eyes.

However, Jia Zhang was hesitant and couldn't explain anything clearly. Just look at the way Jia Zhang jumped up and down after she found out. All the clues were destroyed by her.

Captain Tan was speechless and could only say to Yi Zhonghai: "Go to your house and check it out."

When Captain Tan saw the footprints and found the two places where Yi Zhonghai had hidden the money, he also learned that the other places had not been turned upside down.

It was instantly determined that the crime was committed by someone familiar, and there was a 50% chance that it was a child.

As for why the probability is 50%, Captain Tan's intuition is that it is a child's footprint, or it may be a deliberate attempt to confuse people.

He and Yi Zhonghai returned to the central courtyard.

Captain Tan looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone who has children over three years old should bring them to the middle courtyard.

It’s best to wear the shoes you wore during the day, and everyone should supervise each other.”

Seeing that everyone was a little worried, he comforted them: "It's just a comparison of footprints. As long as it's not stolen, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Three minutes later, all the children over the age of three in the yard came, and even those aged fourteen or fifteen were called over by their parents.

Captain Tan looked around and saw about ten children. He confirmed, "Have all the children in the yard arrived?"

Someone in the crowd whispered, "There's still some good stuff that hasn't come yet."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang cursed: "My house was also robbed, and I am a victim."

Captain Tan interrupted, "Call them all, it's just a comparison, don't waste time."

When Bang Geng came out and stood next to each other, Captain Tan narrowed his eyes.

He subconsciously felt that this child seemed to be very afraid of the police.

Moreover, his face and nose were bruised and he didn't look like an honest child.

Could it be a house thief?
