Chapter 71 The evidence is conclusive: Banggeng stole two pieces?
Upon hearing Old Hu's words, the policeman said, "Comrade, could you please call Jia Zhangshi out for me?"
Old Hu nodded happily and walked towards the Jia family's house, knocking on the door.
"Knock knock knock".
"Jia Zhangshi, the police are looking for you. Come out right now."
"Knock, knock, knock! Old man Hu, are you trying to wake me up? You're disturbing my precious grandson's sleep! I'm not letting you get away with this!"
Jia Zhangshi opened the door and launched into a tirade of abuse at Old Hu.
"Tch, Jia Zhangshi, I think the police won't let you off the hook in a bit," Old Hu said with a chuckle.
The police officer walked up to Jia Zhangshi, looked at her hair, and compared it with the hair in his hand; they matched perfectly.
"Comrade, we suspect you of committing theft at Comrade Wang Feng's house. We are now conducting a search of your home. Please cooperate."
"Officer, I didn't steal anything! You can't wrong an innocent person!"
Jia Zhangshi screamed in terror and blocked the door, preventing the police from entering.
Qin Huairu looked at the police with a look of panic in her eyes. She whispered a few words to Bang Geng, who nodded and ran out of the courtyard.
"Hey, where do you want to go?"
When Wang Feng saw Bang Geng trying to leave, he grabbed him and quietly slipped two hundred yuan into his pocket.
"Let me go, Wang Feng, you damned little bastard, let me go right now!" Bang Geng cursed.
"Wang Feng, what are you doing? Bang Geng wants to go out and play, what's it to you?" Qin Huairu asked sternly.
"Hehe, Qin Huairu, the police just said they were going to search your house, and Bang Geng is about to leave. I suspect he's preparing to move the stolen goods," Wang Feng laughed.
"Wang Feng, you're talking nonsense! Bang Geng is still a child. How can you wrong him?" Qin Huairu retorted sharply.
"Stop arguing. No one is allowed to leave the scene until the matter is clarified."
After saying this, the police saw Jia Zhangshi blocking the door and sternly warned her:
"Comrade, please move aside immediately, or we will arrest you for obstructing official business."
Upon hearing that she was to be arrested, Jia Zhangshi was terrified. She quickly made way for the police and stood aside, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
When the police entered the Jia family home, they began searching the house. Before long, they found flour and rice in the kitchen, and cured meat in the cooking pot.
The police officers placed the flour, rice, and cured meat in front of Wang Feng and asked, "Are these the things you lost?"
Before Wang Feng could speak, Jia Zhangshi shouted, "These all belong to our family! Officers, you can't wrong innocent people!"
As she spoke, Jia Zhangshi pointed to the bag containing flour: "Officers, look, this bag belongs to our family. There's a hole in the bottom, which my daughter-in-law patched up herself."
When the police picked up the bag of flour, they found that it had indeed been patched.
"Hehe, Madam Jia, I'll leave you speechless in a moment."
Wang Feng gave Jia Zhangshi a mocking look, then pointed to a bag of rice on the ground and said to the police:
"Officer, I can prove that this bag of rice belongs to my family."
"How can you prove it?" the police officer asked.
"Officer, it's like this. This bag of rice is from a relative in my hometown. He heard that I got married, so he gave me about 20 kilograms of rice. There were several people who gave me gifts at the time, so to distinguish them, I wrote the names of the gift givers on a piece of scrap paper inside the rice."
At this point, Wang Feng added, "If we find that piece of paper with a name on it inside this bag of rice, that should prove it's our rice, right?"
The two police officers exchanged a glance. In fact, they had already determined that Jia Zhangshi had stolen from Wang Feng's house, but their principle in handling cases was to catch the thief and recover the stolen goods, so they had to follow the procedures.
Now that Wang Feng could produce evidence, things became much simpler. Without saying a word, the young policeman began searching inside the bag of rice.
Before long, the police found the shredded paper, on which were written the two large characters "Lufeng".
"Mrs. Jia, the evidence is now irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"
The police placed the shredded paper in front of Jia Zhangshi and questioned her sternly.
"I...I! Anyway, I didn't steal anything."
"Old Jia! Come up here quickly! That little bastard Wang Feng bullied me, and even the police are framing me! Come up here and take them away!"
Jia Zhangshi was speechless and terrified. She sat down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum, rolling around on the ground, and even trying to summon her soul.
The older police officer waved his hand dismissively: "Cuff her first. How dare she say we're wronging her? And how dare she promote feudal superstition in front of us?"
When Jia Zhangshi saw that the police were really going to arrest her, she immediately cried out in terror, "Don't arrest me! Don't arrest me! I'll give the things back to him, okay?"
When everyone in the courtyard saw that it was indeed Jia Zhangshi who had done it, they all sighed in disbelief.
Now that the evidence was conclusive, how could the police be so easy to deal with? The young policeman ignored Jia Zhangshi's tantrums and took out handcuffs, snapping them shut with a "click."
"Officer, please don't arrest me! I'll pay compensation, I'm willing to pay compensation!"
Once handcuffed, Jia Zhangshi was truly terrified. She lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum and refusing to get up.
The older policeman looked at Jia Zhangshi and shouted in a deep voice, "Tell me, where did you hide Comrade Wang Feng's two hundred yuan?"
"No, I didn't steal the money! Wang Feng, you damned little wretched man, how dare you frame me! You'll die a horrible death! Officer, believe me, I really didn't steal the money!" Jia Zhangshi shouted.
This time, Jia Zhangshi felt even more wronged than Dou E. She clearly hadn't stolen a single penny, yet Wang Feng, that damned little bastard, had wrongly accused her of stealing two hundred yuan.
Wang Feng smiled and glanced at Jia Zhangshi, then walked to the police officer's side and said:
"Officer, Jia Zhangshi refuses to admit anything. I suggest we search the Jia family again, and we must also search their bodies. I've marked all the money in my house. These two hundred yuan are all ten-yuan notes. I wrote the character '王' (Wang) in the lower right corner of each note."
The police officer nodded and said to the crowd, "Which female officer is willing to help search the Jia Zhang family?"
"I'll do it," Aunt Wu said, stepping out of the room.
When Aunt Wu searched her, Jia Zhangshi wasn't afraid. After all, she really hadn't stolen any money, so what was there to be afraid of?
After searching Jia Zhangshi, Aunt Wu shook her head at the police and then began searching Qin Huairu, but unfortunately found nothing.
Seeing that Aunt Wu hadn't found anything, the young policeman pointed at Banggeng and Xiaodang and said, "Auntie, search them both."
Xiao Dang was already crying loudly in fear, but fortunately Qin Huairu kept comforting her, which made Xiao Dang less scared.
When Banggeng saw Aunt Wu searching him, he cursed loudly, "You old hag, how dare you bully our family! You just wait, I'll beat Yaya to death!"
When Aunt Wu saw that Bang Geng dared to threaten her with Ya Ya, she was furious. However, she didn't bother with the child and reached into Bang Geng's pocket.
When Aunt Wu touched a stack of money, she was immediately stunned. She pulled out twenty large ten-dollar bills from her pocket, leaving everyone speechless.
