It's indeed a bit strange.
There were people in those houses at night, and they went out during the day to visit relatives and friends. The thief must have been a little worried.
After all, even if you go out, you may still come back suddenly for various reasons, and you can easily be caught.
On the contrary, it was the residence where Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun lived. The lock on the door was hanging clearly. It was obvious that they had returned to their hometown during the Chinese New Year and were not here.
It is almost impossible for anyone to come back to such a house randomly. Logically speaking, it is easier to become a target for thieves.
"Is it possible that you think that since people have gone home to celebrate the New Year, there must be no silver left at home?"
Li Zhongan said, "However, there is something wrong. In other people's homes that were stolen, the money was not stolen because the money was hidden, but many other things were also lost."
"Many of the calligraphy and painting decorations in the homes of Madam Jiang and Mr. Song, as well as some medicinal materials and cloth, are quite valuable. The thieves will not let go of other people's porcelain bottles that are not very delicate. Logically speaking, they should not let them go."
Jiang Michia nodded, "It is indeed a bit unusual."
But she couldn't figure out the reason.
Jiang Michia was thinking about this, but she saw Song Jingyun taking a small shovel that he usually used to care for flowers and plants, and working in the flower garden.
"What are you doing, sir?" Jiang Michia asked.
"I was thinking that maybe there was a reason why the thief left our house alone and only stole from other people's houses." Song Jingyun replied.
Jiang Michia, "..."
This big guy has seen it all.
"So I'm thinking that this thief may have two reasons. One of them may be because he thinks that as a scholar, I have friendship with the county magistrate on weekdays, so he is afraid of getting into trouble."
"As for the second reason, maybe it's because there are no three hundred taels of silver here."
"You mean..."
Li Zhongan became energetic.
As he was talking, the shovel in his hand made a "ding" sound. Song Jingyun hurriedly shoveled away the surrounding soil and found an oil-paper bag. In the oil-paper bag, there were scattered silver, silver hairpins, bracelets and other items wrapped in it. .
Li Zhongan hurriedly called the government official to identify him.
"This bracelet has the words "Prosperity and Peace" on it. There is a bump on the left side of the bracelet. It seems to be the same as what Qu Liangzhe's family reported missing." Youya Chai said.
"This hairpin is inlaid with a pearl. It seems to be the dowry hairpin that Guo Dashu's wife mentioned." Another official said.
"This silver bowl belongs to Hao Chengsi's family..."
Obviously, these things were buried here by the thieves who stole things from various houses.
Not stealing the belongings of Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun, but also deliberately burying the stolen things in the garden in the courtyard...
This purpose is somewhat obvious.
Li Zhongan touched his chin, but then frowned, "This person has such evil intentions."
Jiang Michia nodded.
Very vicious indeed.
Burying the stolen things in her yard, in the eyes of others, she and Song Jingyun, who had not lost anything, were thieves.
Even if Li Zhongan inquired afterward and confirmed that Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun were both in Jiangjiacun when these families lost their belongings, and there were people around them who could testify, others still had to say a few words.
Digu asked why her home was not stolen and why the thief didn't take the things away but buried them in her home. This would also lead to the conclusion that she and Song Jingyun were inseparable from following the thief.
People's words are scary.
This rumor has been going on for a long time. Even if she and Song Jingyun were not afraid of the shadows slanting and ignored them, such rumors would affect their normal life.
The purpose of this thief was to cause trouble for her and Song Jingyun.
"Do you want to catch this thief?" Song Jingyun asked.
"This is natural." Li Zhongan said, "It's just that although the dirt has been found now, if you want to find the person who stole it, I'm afraid you have to investigate one by one, and it will take some time."
"I have a way here that can help you catch this thief faster." Song Jingyun said with a smile.
"Oh?" Li Zhongan raised his eyebrows.
----
When Li Zhongan left with the government officials, Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun also packed up and prepared to leave.
Neighbors nearby saw this and came together.
"What did your family lose?"
"I lost two calligraphy and paintings, three ancient books, and some medicinal materials given by others. Speaking of which, these medicinal materials were given by shopkeeper Zheng, so they are not cheap."
Jiang Michia sighed as he spoke, and even gritted his teeth, "This thief is really hateful. He picks things up and steals them. He really makes people mad."
"No, if you don't say he is a thief, it would be very annoying. My family is also the same. The most valuable things are thrown away. This thief is also very smart. He knows who is good!"
"If we catch this thief, the town will be hacked to pieces. How hateful!"
"The key is when can we catch this abominable thief..."
"..."
Because they were here to complain about this disgusting thief, Jiang Michia and Song Jingyun stayed for a long time before leaving. When they left, their faces were filled with anger.
In the evening of that day, news came out from the county government.
The thief who allegedly stole the goods has been caught and is being interrogated.
He also said that the thief who stole the things came from the west. It turned out that his family suffered a disaster and came to the county to seek refuge with relatives. However, he did not find any relatives and spent all the money in his hands. He was not able to eat enough every day, so he became crooked. thought.
After wandering around for a long time, and taking advantage of the Chinese New Year period when many people were not at home during the day, they climbed over the wall and stole, and squandered the stolen money on food and drink.
As soon as this news came out, all the people who had been stolen became more and more angry.
People who came to seek refuge after a disaster at home meant that their family had no assets to repay.
The stolen money was squandered on food and drink. Even if he was beaten and sent to jail, the money would definitely not be returned.
How abominable!
Whenever I think of the money I saved for food and clothing, or the jewelry I bought, being used by others to spend it lavishly, my heart twitches.
Therefore, throughout the first half of the night, the entire alley was filled with abuse from many people.
There are also people who are pacing back and forth at home with a frown on their face.
It was almost fifteen, the moon was mostly full, the weather was clear, the moon was bright, and the earth was illuminated brightly.
When the moon set in the middle of the night, a figure sneaked out of his yard. After wandering in the alley for a while, he saw that it was quiet in the middle of the night and there was no one else around. Then he climbed over the wall and jumped into Jiang Mixia's house. And in the residence of Song Jingyun's family.
After entering, he did not rush to open the door to find anything. Instead, he took a small shovel from his waist and dug around in the flower bed.
After searching for a long time, I couldn't seem to find what I wanted.
The shadow was extremely surprised and searched in another place, but still found nothing.
After doing this several times, he gritted his teeth and simply took out an oil paper bag from his waist and put it into the newly dug earth pit.
