Chapter 1109 The Shadow Left by a Consecutive Draw
"When was Jia Zhangshi released?" Xu Damao asked hurriedly. He hadn't seen Jia Zhangshi when he was observing the crowd.
But Xu Damao didn't take it to heart, assuming that Jia Zhangshi was being held in the security department.
But then someone heard that Jia Zhangshi had been released, and that's when the prime suspect came to light.
"Around 10 a.m., I ran into her in the alley," the man explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu was completely stunned by the sight of so many people.
That's right!
Jia Zhangshi has returned.
But she had just complained of a stomachache and went back to bed to rest.
This is too coincidental, right?
The day Jia Zhangshi returned, the calligraphy hanging in Chen Jun's house was gone!
Moreover, when gathering everyone in the hospital, Jia Zhangshi said that she had a stomachache.
Therefore, Qin Huairu subconsciously felt that the calligraphy was stolen by Jia Zhangshi!
No, this is just something people do when they're full and have nothing better to do!
A few days ago, when she went to the security department, she repeatedly warned her not to provoke Chen Jun again, otherwise she would take Banggeng back to Qin Family Village and make the baby in her belly take her surname.
Jia Zhangshi had already agreed, but who would have thought that she would cause such a big incident on the very first day.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu subconsciously swallowed, her mind racing as she began to assess the impact this matter would have on them.
"Qin Huairu, has your mother-in-law returned?" Liu Haizhong asked.
"Um...she did come back, but she stayed in the house all day and didn't go anywhere!" Qin Huairu explained.
But Liu Haizhong ignored all of this and waved his hand, signaling Qin Huairu to call out Jia Zhangshi.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Huairu still braced herself and went back into the house.
The first thing Qin Huairu did upon entering the room was to quickly walk to the bedside and give Jia Zhangshi a hard push.
"Mom, are you trying to drive me crazy?!"
"Why did you go and provoke Chen Jun again? The painting in his room is missing. Did you steal it?"
Jia Zhangshi, who was pretending to be asleep, turned over and said irritably, "What do you mean by 'provoking Chen Jun'? What word is that? I don't understand what you're saying!"
"Mom, stop pretending. Second Uncle has called everyone in the courtyard out to search every house. If you stole Chen Jun's calligraphy, hand it over as soon as possible, and we'll apologize to Chen Jun and the matter will be over. Otherwise, you'll be finished once they find it!" Qin Huairu was extremely anxious.
Last time, Jia Zhangshi was arrested for making false accusations, but she was only detained for a few days.
These past few days have exhausted Qin Huairu. As a heavily pregnant woman, she has to stay at the hospital day and night to take care of her. Meanwhile, Bang Geng has become very irritable and prone to losing his temper because he uninstalled part of QQ.
So Qin Huairu hasn't had a good night's sleep these past few days.
If Jia Zhangshi were to stay in there for another ten days or half a month, Qin Huairu's world would truly collapse.
"I didn't take it! What would I do with that thing? It's not like it's money!"
Madam Jia sat up in bed, cursing, and then gestured for Qin Huairu to get her shoes.
"Come on, I'll go with you to see. They want to search for things, right? Search whatever you want, but if they don't find anything, they'll have to compensate us."
While saying these words, Jia Zhangshi acted perfectly normal, but in her heart she cursed Qin Huairu with disdain.
Looking for that calligraphy?
There are no doors!
Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to find what she hid.
And so, Madam Jia led Qin Huairu, swaying her head, into the courtyard.
Seeing her smug look, Xu Damao couldn't help but say, "No need to look anymore, it must have been Jia Zhangshi who stole it. When the police come, just handcuff her and take her to the yamen, she'll confess everything."
"Get out, Xu Damao! If you dare to spew such nonsense again, I'll hang myself at your doorstep!" Jia Zhangshi spat at Xu Damao.
Xu Damao, who was prepared, dodged to the side and then shouted to his third uncle, Yan Bugui, "Third uncle, take men to search the Jia family's house. We'll definitely find something!"
Yan Bugui said nothing upon hearing this.
It is clearly inappropriate to search the Jia family's property without any evidence.
Liu Haizhong understood this principle, so he didn't dwell on Jia Zhangshi. Instead, he shouted to the crowd, "Since it was someone from our courtyard who stole it, let's all drag him out together."
"Quickly, get moving and search the yard first."
Upon hearing this, the residents present all sprang into action.
Before the thief is caught, everyone is a suspect, so in order to clear their names and for the sake of the calligraphy, everyone is still very enthusiastic about finding the item.
Looking at the busy crowd, Madam Jia Zhang couldn't help but snort coldly.
Go find it!
Even if you search until dawn, you'll never find it.
After everyone in the courtyard gave up completely, he went to report Chen Jun for losing the calligraphy.
When that time comes, Chen Jun can just wait to be in trouble!
At this moment, Chen Jun stood calmly in the courtyard, observing everyone's reactions.
Actually, he already had a rough idea of who did it, but the police hadn't arrived yet, and it would be too easy for Jia Zhangshi to be dragged out directly.
"Chen Jun, what's going on in the courtyard?"
Chen Xueru, who had just finished working at the shop, was completely dumbfounded when she saw the yard full of people searching for things.
“Our house has been burgled, but don’t worry, we’ll get our things back soon.” Chen Jun naturally took Chen Xueru’s bicycle and parked it in front of the house.
When Chen Xueru heard that their house had been robbed, she was also anxious, but seeing how calm Chen Jun was, she felt much more at ease.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui each led a team and began searching the front and middle yards, checking every corner and every rooftop.
But they couldn't find even a trace of it.
"Don't rush when you're looking for it, be patient. The calligraphy is about this long and this wide..."
As Yan Bugui searched, he gestured to the others.
But upon seeing this, Jia Zhangshi burst out laughing.
She looked at Chen Jun defiantly: "Hmph, serves you right. You used to eat meat all day and act all cocky. Now you're in trouble!"
Ouch?
Did spending a few days in the security department embolden you?
So Chen Jun didn't waste any more words with Jia Zhangshi, and walked towards her with his hand raised.
The previous hundred consecutive draws had already traumatized Jia Zhangshi, so when she saw Chen Jun raise his hand high, she instinctively ran home.
"You, you, you, what right do you have to hit me!"
Jia Zhangshi was cursing and swearing, but because she was running too fast, she didn't pay attention to the threshold and tumbled into the house with a cry of pain.
"Ha, if you hadn't done anything wrong, would you be this afraid?"
Chen Jun snorted coldly: "Jia Zhangshi, picking locks is your specialty. You're the one who picked my lock, aren't you?"
"Nonsense! I stayed home all day, why would I try to pick your lock!"
