Due to some environmental issues, Jia Zhangshi would not be shot if she scolded Chen Ze. If she insulted his parents and brother, she would at most be criticized. Anyway, it would not be a capital offense.
However, theft could!
Larceny was different. In this era, larceny was a subjective punishment. Generally speaking, the more serious the crime was, the more serious the sentence could be.
In this day and age, there was no criminal law, so the conviction and punishment fluctuated greatly. However, a basic measure was the amount of property damage. In this era, the crime of one yuan was not a small one. If Chen Ze included the electric fan, then his crime was really big.
Moreover, the crime of theft was a crime. The electric fan was placed in the house. No one could deny this. This was the fact of the crime.
Since ancient times, people could be directly tried because the evidence was right in front of them.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi fall, everyone immediately understood.
Was it painful?
No, that was because he was scared!
Everyone present knew that petty theft was not scary. Anyone would make mistakes. However, in this courtyard house, the only one who dared to take the fan was the Jia family.
Why?
It was because of this old woman that she was not afraid of anything. She relied on the fact that she came from the countryside." I don't know anything anyway, so I'll just return it to you." With this excuse, she stole many things from the courtyard house.
Usually, it was just a broom, dustpan, basin, and so on. It was fine, but occasionally, he would take away a water tank without saying a word. They had quarreled more than once or twice. Every time, Grandpa One would persuade him. Everyone was discerning. Jia Dongxu was Grandpa One's disciple, so he had to give face in the end. Everyone knew Grandpa One's little thoughts.
But now…
Everyone looked at Jia Zhangshi as if they were watching a show. In this courtyard house, Jia Zhangshi's family was the most likely to steal things.
"Why are you leaving?"
Lu Guofu had already received Chen Ze's instructions. Chen Ze already knew that it was the Jia Zhang family who took it.
Nowadays, the electric fan was not silent. It was made of iron. Once the electric fan was turned on, the sound of "Wang" could not be stopped. Anyone with sharp ears could hear it, even in the Jia family.
"I…I'll bring my mother back to take some painkillers. My mother has lost a few teeth and it hurts so much!”
Jia Dongxu was smart, but Lu Guofu did not give him a chance.
"Alright, in that case, we'll go with you!”
"Ah?"
Jia Dongxu's eyes widened. During the day, when Chen Ze went out, his mother had to be cremated according to the regulations and then sent to the cemetery. In this day and age, there was no need to look at the date. Once the person left, it was arranged directly. After Chen Ze left, Jia Zhangshi sneaked into Chen Ze's house and brought the electric fan and several tickets.
Then, the family enjoyed the electric fan at home. The dog days of summer in Beijing were still very hot. They were all curious about how the ancient people lived. In fact, there were many people who died of heatstroke from the sun. However, they were not fools. Why did they plant trees by the river? It was just to get some shade.
"What's there to be afraid of? Let's start from your house. If you have a clear conscience, what's there to be afraid of?”
Chen Ze stood up without hesitation and pointed at the house in the middle court."Captain Lu, that's Jia Dongxu's house!”
Jia Dongxu's family's blood pressure was rising. Qin Huairu widened her eyes in horror. Actually, if she brought the electric fan over, she would be able to enjoy herself. Who wouldn't want a breeze on a hot day? Even if it was a hot breeze, it would be fine.
But now, the electric fan was placed at the head of the bed, blowing air for the two sleeping children. Not only could they see it, they could even hear it when they walked to the door.
"Ouch…"
In her panic, Qin Huairu suddenly felt a wave of discomfort in her stomach. Subconsciously, an idea came to her as she clutched her stomach and started crying out.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone looked over. Silly Zhu was even more nervous as he went forward to help Qin Huairu up. However, he glanced at Jia Dongxu and did not dare to go forward.
"My…my stomach hurts!"
"Stomachache? You ate too much and want to shit!"
Chen Ze said indifferently, making the surrounding people speechless. However, this silence gave Chen Ze another wave of energy.
Interesting. This method of gathering energy was really interesting. As long as this group of people had feelings for Chen Ze, regardless of whether it was good or bad, they would have energy.
This was too fun.
To be honest, the system had only been out for a short while, but the sadness of Chen Ze's mother's death had been diluted a little.
Qin Huiru's pain was temporarily gone after hearing the words " I want to poop ". Chen Ze could not be bothered with her. What was the use of such a little scheme to stall for time? He made it sound as if the electric fan would disappear by itself if he stalled for time.
"It's so late, and the first child is still sleeping…"
How could First Uncle not see it? He went up to say,"We'll investigate tomorrow" or something, but Lu Guofu did not give him a chance at all. It was only such a short distance. It was not like they were filming a TV show. Could they shoot seven or eight episodes from less than 20 meters away?
When they arrived at the door, the unique noise of the iron fan had already made everyone realize.
There were only three electric fans in the courtyard house. One was at Grandpa Yi's house, one was at Xu Damao's house, and one was at Chen Ze's house.
Grandpa Yi had saved up money to buy it. He had used his connections to get the fan ticket. Needless to say, Xu Damao had gotten it from Lou Xiao'e's family.
Everyone treasured this thing. No one would give it to the Jia family. Where did the Jia family's electric fan come from?
Without a doubt!
"There's a word carved under my electric fan. It's my mother's.”
At this moment, Chen Ze added another stab. Lu Guofu pushed open the door. He did not care about the search warrant at all. When he entered the door, he saw an electric fan by the bed circling around the room.
Chen Ze took a few steps forward and grabbed the electric fan. Although it was small and not a big fan with a long pole, it was made of pure metal and was not light.
"Look, it has my name on it. This is my electric fan!”
Outside, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu's faces were pale. To put it bluntly, they did not intend to take the electric fan for themselves. They were not fools. Who would dare to steal such a big object? They just saw that Chen Ze was not at home, so they put it to waste and used it.
However, the problem was that Jia Zhangshi had a cheap hand and a dark heart. She had taken Chen Ze's vote!
That vote was the key!
"Jia Zhang-shi, we've caught the person with the stolen goods. Where are my family's tickets? 5 catties of flour, 2 catties of meat, and 2 catties of fuel. Let me tell you, those are all used nationwide. Your family can't get them at all. Hurry up and take them out!”
