Chapter 1110 Searching door to door
"Heh, if you hand it over voluntarily, I might let you off the hook. But if you're going to be stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite," Chen Jun said, looking at the disheveled Jia Zhangshi.
"Pah! I didn't take it!" Madam Jia chose to deny it to the death.
Because she knew that since the deed was already done, if she were to admit it now, wouldn't all her previous efforts have been in vain?
And there's no way to deal with Chen Jun anymore.
Most importantly, if she admits it, the whole hospital will laugh at her, and the title of thief will follow her for the rest of her life.
Therefore, regardless of the reason, Jia Zhangshi chose not to admit it.
"Alright, then you just wait!"
Since Jia Zhangshi refuses to admit it no matter what, then we shall handle this matter officially.
"Just wait and wait."
Jia Zhangshi grimaced in response, but as soon as she finished speaking, several policemen strode into the backyard.
Seeing this, Chen Jun said to Jia Zhangshi, "Even if you admit it now, it's too late. You'll be going to be stuck in the fence!"
Then Chen Jun went to meet the police.
Upon seeing the four police officers enter, Jia Zhangshi subconsciously frowned.
No, when did you report it to the authorities?
Do you even have any sense of martial ethics anymore?
"What's missing from the yard? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The police officer in the lead glanced at everyone present and exclaimed, "Good heavens, the whole hospital has been mobilized just because one item was lost."
It must be an extremely valuable item.
“A calligraphy piece is missing. When I got off work, I noticed that the door lock had been pried open. When I opened the door, I found that the calligraphy piece hanging on the wall was gone. No one has entered the house yet,” Chen Jun replied.
In order not to affect any clues, Chen Jun did not go in just now.
A piece of calligraphy?
The police officer looked at the large group of people present with some suspicion. It was just a piece of calligraphy; was it really necessary to make such a fuss?
Could it be some kind of antique?
"Is that calligraphy very valuable?"
Liu Haizhong, who was standing nearby, came over and proudly told me about the origin of the calligraphy.
Upon hearing this, the police officer immediately asked, "Are you the manager of courtyard number 95? Have you found that calligraphy yet?"
"Not yet..." Liu Haizhong scratched his big head: "We've searched the backyard and the middle courtyard, but we haven't found the calligraphy."
"What's the point of just searching the courtyard? Would a thief hide that calligraphy there?"
Just then, a serious-looking man strode into the courtyard.
Everyone took a closer look.
Hey!
Section Chief Lü of the Security Department!
Why is this person also coming to the courtyard house?
"Brother Jun, I've also called the security personnel."
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Liu Guangfu scurried up to Chen Jun, eager to take credit.
Oh, so Liu Guangfu went to the security department again when he came back.
Not bad, not bad, this kid is quick-witted.
"Director Chen, I heard that something was stolen from your house, so I came to take a look and see if I could help."
After speaking, Section Chief Lü coldly glanced at everyone present and then asked, "Where is that woman who just came out of the security section today? Why didn't she come out?"
As the head of the security department, he had seen far too many thefts, big and small, and his keen sense of smell was unmatched by the average person. Therefore, he judged that it was most likely the work of someone he knew.
The woman who was just released from the security department today happens to have a bad relationship with Chen Jun.
"My mom just came back to her room," Qin Huairu quickly explained.
Section Chief Lü glanced at Qin Huairu, ignored her, and said to Liu Haizhong, "Do you think a thief could hide words in the yard?"
Liu Haizhong shook his head nervously.
"Then why did you send people to search the yard?" Section Chief Lü said irritably, "That's a waste of time."
"Then... if we don't search the yard, how are we supposed to find it?" Liu Haizhong asked, somewhat embarrassed after being scolded.
He knew the chances of him hiding in the yard were slim, but it was all he could do.
Otherwise, if we just go inside and search the house, will the people in the yard agree to that?
Every family has its little secrets.
But Section Chief Lü didn't care about any of that. He waved his hand and said, "The thief is most likely someone from your compound, so stop searching dog kennels and rooftops. Go and search every house and every corner."
What the hell?
Searching house to house?
The residents present were directly intimidated by Section Chief Lü's domineering and decisive manner.
They did nothing, so why did they search their house?
Or is it that Section Chief Lü suspects every single one of them?
Is this right?
Although the residents present were unwilling, they did not have the courage to voice their opposition in the face of the head of the security department.
Xu Damao, however, was somewhat displeased.
"Section Chief Lü, this isn't appropriate. My child is too young; searching the house will frighten her."
Xu Damao wasn't guilty of anything, but he was worried about scaring his baby.
Besides, everyone in the courtyard knows his attitude towards Chen Jun, and he usually helps Chen Jun argue with Jia Zhangshi, so it's impossible for him to steal Chen Jun's things.
The rest of the people had roughly the same idea.
"You have a problem with that? As long as you can provide evidence that you didn't steal anything, we won't search your house," Section Chief Lü said, staring at Xu Damao.
Actually, Section Chief Lü said that on purpose.
In investigations, the burden of proof always falls on the person making the claim. For him to ask Xu Damao to prove his innocence is far too difficult.
"Where am I supposed to find evidence?"
Xu Damao was dumbfounded. He had spent the whole day at the steel rolling mill, and there were people who could vouch for him, but his wife had stayed in the yard the whole time and couldn't vouch for him like he could.
"So, if you can't prove you didn't steal anything, then let our security team search you. If they don't find anything, then we'll have evidence that you didn't steal anything, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Damao scratched his chin, feeling that what Section Chief Lü said made some sense, but something still felt off.
"Bring your wife and children out so my men can search them," Section Chief Lü ordered before Xu Damao could react.
Xu Damao, who had nothing to hide, was naturally not afraid of the search, so he went back into the house, took the child out, and opened the door.
Search me, search me all you want, I'm innocent.
Xu Damao appeared to welcome the search.
Got it!
Seeing that even the troublemaker Xu Damao had compromised, the residents who had previously expressed their opinions stopped saying anything.
Searching for one specific household is targeted, while searching for everyone's household is a process of exclusion.
Starting with Xu Damao's family, it's acceptable.
They were willing to accept it, but Qin Huairu wasn't!
She wasn't sure if Jia Zhangshi was behind it.
If that's the case, we'll be in big trouble once the security department finds evidence.
"After searching Xu Damao's house, you can search mine!" Liu Haizhong, the second oldest man in the courtyard, also stood up to support the security department.
“In that case, after searching Uncle Er’s house, you can go to my house. There’s nothing there!” Sha Zhu also came out to join in the fun.
Since we have to search anyway, it's definitely better to finish the search as soon as possible.
