When the man had almost finished cleaning up and was about to leave, they jumped out and pushed him to the ground.
The man Zhou Lin found was indeed very good at stealing, but he was only good at stealing. He had no skills. After being held down, he couldn't even struggle away.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"You have the nerve to ask us who we are. You are a thief. You broke into the house without the owner's consent and followed us to see the village chief!"
When he heard that he was going to see the village chief, the thief panicked, "Let me go. I'm not a thief. It was the Lin family who agreed to my coming. If you don't believe it, go and ask!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" The two of them didn't listen to his excuse at all. They took out a rag and stuffed it into his mouth, and dragged him out of the cellar.
All the way to the village chief's house, the lights in his house were turned off.
There are no entertainment activities at night in rural areas, so every household goes to bed very early.
The village chief heard a knock on the door outside and quickly opened it. He saw two men with fierce looks throwing a middle-aged man in black to the ground.
"Village Chief, we were hired by Miss Lin, but we didn't expect a thief to come tonight. This is the thief!"
The man shook his head quickly, "I'm not, I really am not!"
The village chief lowered his head and saw that this was also a member of their village. He was just an outsider, and he had only arrived in the past two years. He probably had not stayed in the village for more than two years.
He has never trusted this kind of outsider, not to mention that this person is still a single man and has not even seen his wife, which is even more strange.
There are a few people who don't marry wives these days, either because they really have no money, or because they are really sick!
"Village Chief, I didn't steal!" The man quickly defended, "Really!"
Master Hu's men snorted, "Didn't steal it? Why did you end up in the Lin family's cellar? Don't tell me, you accidentally got lost."
"Yes, I just got lost!" the man defended, "I didn't know the Lin family had a backyard, let alone that it was the Lin family's backyard, so I went over to take a look!"
"The wall outside Lin's backyard is so high, how can you walk over and take a look?"
The village chief was not a fool, so he could naturally hear the flaw in this man's words, "I didn't expect that there was a thief in our village! Tell me, what did you steal!"
Not to mention that this person stole from Lin Xiaoyu. Now in the eyes of the village chief, Lin Xiaoyu is just a golden pimple, and no one can do anything against her!
"I...I really didn't steal anything."
Master Hu's men didn't waste any time and lifted him up directly.
Wow!
The books in his arms fell to the ground one after another, "This is the evidence!"
"This is not evidence! What evidence do you have to prove that this is the Lin family's thing? This is clearly my thing. I know it. You are interested in my thing, so you deliberately slander me!"
"Village chief, you have to make the decision for me!"
The man reacted very quickly and immediately took the opportunity to slap the book down. He had read it before and found that there was neither a name nor a surname on the book.
And Zhou Lin also said before that these medical books have been handed down from ancient times.
The Lin family has no way of proving that these things belong to the Lin family!
There is no name, and there is no mark, so the village chief can't do anything to him!
The village chief suddenly discovered something, "By the way, where is Xiaoyu?"
Since we have to deal with this kind of matter, we naturally need to ask the parties involved for their opinions.
"Lin Xiaoyu is at Zhou Lin's house now. The Zhou family invited him and Lin Haiqiang to have dinner tonight, saying they wanted to apologize for what happened before. I don't know why they didn't come back so late."
The village chief understood, "Since he stole so many things, and they were books, they may be very important to Xiaoyu. Let's go to Zhou's house now!"
The thief's face changed slightly, "Village Chief, you clearly saw Lin Xiaoyu's ability and deliberately framed me in order to curry favor with her!"
"I didn't steal anything from Lin Xiaoyu, it's not hers at all!"
"But you did take these things from the Lin family, right? You also admitted it yourself before that you went to the Lin family's cellar. I don't care if you got lost or whatever, you took the things from the Lin family, that is From the Lin family!”
Before the thief could speak, Master Hu's men took action again and stuffed the rag into his mouth.
It was finally quiet now.
The village chief came all the way to Zhou Lin's house.
Seeing that the light was indeed on inside, he immediately went up and knocked on the door.
Not long after, Zhou Haoming came to open the door and saw the village chief outside. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "Village Chief, it's so late, why did you come here suddenly?"
"I'm here to see Lin Xiaoyu, where is she?"
"I'm really sorry. Lin Xiaoyu has already fallen asleep. She and my dad had some drinks tonight and stayed at our place. If anything happens, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Drink too much?" The village chief frowned slightly and was about to speak when he saw Lin Xiaoyu walking out.
"I did drink too much tonight, but I am a doctor and I have already prepared the medicine to sober up."
Zhou Haoming's face was full of disbelief, "How could there be sobering medicine so fast?"
"Just because you don't have it doesn't mean that I don't have it. At worst, I'll give you some to try next time." After Lin Xiaoyu finished speaking, he looked at the village chief, "Village Chief, what happened?"
Then, she winked at the two Master Tiger's men.
One of them left quietly.
But after a while, a cry suddenly came from outside.
"It's flooded! That unoccupied shabby house in the village is flooded! Everyone, come and put out the fire!"
"What if the fire breaks out and our family is implicated!"
The dilapidated house was not far away. When they heard the shouting, the villagers walked out of their homes one after another.
Zhou Haoming was also attracted to the scene, and sure enough he saw a bit of fire.
However, everyone worked together and quickly put out the fire.
Lin Xiaoyu immediately waved, "The village chief is here. No one lives in that broken house. Suddenly there is water. Maybe someone set the fire on purpose!"
She said this deliberately to attract people.
She even set the fire. What caught fire was not the old house at all, but the straw next to the old house.
She had made complete preparations in advance and would never let the fire spread and threaten the safety of people and property in the village.
When the village chief saw that the fire was out, he was relieved and said, "Xiaoyu, I came to you this time for a very important matter, and that is that your home has been robbed!"
After saying that, he stepped aside, revealing the man behind him.
Because it was dark, there were no street lights here, the door was pitch dark, and someone was blocking it, so no one noticed that there was someone in the darkness!
Zhou Haoming saw his appearance in the moonlight, and his heart suddenly sank. Isn't this the master thief their family was looking for? How could he be caught!
