The Arrival of the Public Security
The radio of this era was not as small and convenient as the later generations. It was a very large wooden box, and the common people called it a chatterbox.
Not every family had it. Only Mr. Li, who was a Baji fitter in the factory, could afford it. A chatterbox was more expensive than a bicycle.
The Li family's was the latest model. It was a 28A crystal radio produced by Shanghai's Third Radio Factory. It was given to foreign guests as a national gift.
Now that the chatterbox was gone, the Jia family naturally could not get away with it.
Jia Zhang-shi naturally didn't take it and immediately said righteously: "Our family didn't take your chatterbox. Don't blame it on me!”
Of course, Jia Zhang-shi didn't take it, but the stick meme might not.
Li Xuanzhi, who had watched television dramas before, knew that the child's hands had never been clean.
Qin Huairu immediately looked at the stick, her eyes filled with worry.
And the meme did not disappoint him. He was so nervous that he was trembling.
Usually, the meme would go to Silly Zhu's house to steal things. Silly Zhu also liked children and had never been calculative. Qin Huiru thought that the meme only stole from Silly Zhu because they had a good relationship, so she did not care.
Now, it seemed that he was going to become a habitual thief.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel a little worried. However, with Jia Zhangshi around, she couldn't hit or scold any of them. It was very difficult to educate them.
Li Xuanzhi wasn't angered by Jia Zhangshi's actions. He didn't deserve such a person. He only said indifferently,"My family has such a big chatterbox. I can't just say that it's gone. Didn't you see it when you were moving things?”
Everyone in the courtyard knew that the Old Li family had a chatterbox. Usually, many people would come to his house to listen to storytelling and Beijing opera. After all, such a rare person was very rare in the courtyard.
Even Yi Zhonghai, who was an eighth-grade fitter, couldn't afford it. Only Li Xuanzhi's parents were dual-employed, and their income wasn't low. That was why they had the ability.
Now that the chatterbox was gone, the Jia family was naturally the first suspect.
"Maybe it was Silly Zhu who stole it? He doesn't look like a good person." Jia Zhangshi continued to pester him.
This was the Jia family. When they used people, they would move forward. When they didn't use people, they would kick them aside and even have to take the blame.
He Yuzhu's heart was filled with grievances. I just helped you, and now you're turning your back on me?
Qin Huairu secretly tugged at He Yuzhu's sleeve. Silly Zhu's mouth closed again, and he swallowed his words.
Looking at the nervous stick meme, Silly Zhu understood.
Even so, Jia Zhang-shi's actions still made him uncomfortable. How could this be done by a human?
"I don't want to know who stole it. The police will be here soon.”
Li Xuanzhi's expression was indifferent. He did not want to waste his breath on them. He leaned back and lay on the bed.
Speak of the devil.
Xu Damao brought two uniformed police officers to Li Xuanzhi's house.
When the people in the courtyard saw that the police had arrived, they spread the news and surrounded Li Xuanzhi's house.
"Li Xuanzhi, is it worth calling the police for such a small matter?”He Yuzhu said angrily when he saw the police.
Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu's ashen face and knew that he had missed an exciting scene. He felt a little regretful.
He loved seeing Silly Zhu suffer.
Xu Damao said resentfully," Xuanzhi, you asked me to find the police, so I brought them back for you. You have to compensate me for missing a good show."”
Li Xuanzhi got off the bed and patted Xu Damao's shoulder.""I'll give you another good show.”
Just as Li Xuanzhi reached out to hold the police officer's hand, Yi Zhonghai, who had appeared, grabbed the police officer's hand tightly and said,""It's all about our courtyard. We won't trouble the two leaders.”
"I am the master of this courtyard. We can end things ourselves.”
Of course, Yi Zhonghai did not want the police to get involved. In his eyes, this matter had already been resolved. Even if the police came, it would be fine.
After all, Li Xuanzhi did not suffer any losses.
However, if word got out, the reputation of the Siheyuan would be bad. There would be no chance for the outstanding Siheyuan this year.
In the past, all the outstanding Siheyuan in the community had been built in this courtyard.
After saying that, she winked at Li Xuanzhi, asking him to explain.
Since the two police officers were on duty, Yi Zhonghai could not fool them easily.
She gave him a standard salute and said,"Hello, you're not the party involved. We still have to go through the normal process. Since you're the master of this courtyard house, you have to cooperate with us.”
"Yes, sir! Yes! Yes! We will definitely cooperate with the two leaders." Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly.
"Public security officer, I was the one who reported the case. You have to help me with this!”Li Xuanzhi said.
Yi Zhonghai frowned and glared at Li Xuanzhi. Why was this not over yet?!
"Mr. Public Security Officer, we have really solved it.”Yi Zhonghai quickly interrupted.
"I lost something worth 185 yuan. When did you solve it?”Li Xuanzhi did not take Yi Zhonghai seriously at all and asked him directly.
"Hmm? 185?" Yi Zhonghai was stunned. When did 185 come out?
This wasn't a small number. In this era, it was already considered a huge sum of money.
Even Yi Zhonghai, a worker with a ceiling income, would need two months to earn it.
"Hiss ~!"
The people who were watching the show outside the door sucked in a breath of cold air. This number was too big for ordinary people. They couldn't save it even in a year.
The expressions of the two policemen became even more serious when they heard this.
With so much money, it could be considered a big case.
Li Xuanzhi briefly explained what had happened.
The two policemen looked at each other. This case seemed a little simple.
The suspects were the few people in front of him.
Jia Zhangshi, Bang Geng, Qin Huairu, and Silly Zhu.
"I didn't, it wasn't me. Don't make wild guesses, it must be Silly Zhu.”
Jia Zhang-shi saw the two policemen's eyes and immediately denied it three times. She even pushed the blame to Silly Zhu.
Silly Zhu was so angry that he had the urge to hit someone, but the police were right in front of him, so he definitely didn't dare to act rashly.
When he recalled Qin Huairu's actions of tugging at his sleeve, he lowered his head and remained silent.
However, he did not admit that he had done it. That was a radio, and the consequences were beyond his tolerance.
He might as well not say anything and let the police give him the truth.
The two police officers analyzed the situation and felt that the Jia family was the most likely to have done this. After all, they had handled the things in the house twice.
In addition, Jia Zhang-shi was not a human being, so they decided to start with the Jia family.
In this day and age, there was no need for a search warrant. The two public security officers went to the Jia family's house to see if there were any clues.
