Chapter 77: Maybe a Thief

Xiao Yingchun finished her soup dumplings and stood up to throw the garbage into the trash can outside the door. Then she heard the young man ask, "Are the soup dumplings delicious?"

Xiao Yingchun rolled her eyes and ignored him.

It was at this time that Wang Yongjun walked in.

A tall and thin man with long arms and legs and eyes like an eagle.

One can tell at a glance from his neat crew cut and straight back that he is either a soldier or a policeman, with an easily recognizable righteous aura.

The young man paused with a teasing look on his face, panic flashed through his eyes, and he lowered his head to drink water guiltily...

Wang Yongjun nodded to Xiao Yingchun first, then handed over a paper bag: "Here are your clothes. I'll wash and dry them and return them to you."

Xiao Yingchun was slightly surprised: "Why did you come here to return it? You don't have to return it..."

Wang Yongjun didn't respond, his eyes fell on the young man's face: "Are you a guest?"

Xiao Yingchun had already returned to the counter and hummed, "I'm here to buy some water."

Wang Yongjun glanced at the young man, suddenly pulled out a stool, sat opposite the young man, took out his cell phone and actually took a picture of the young man.

The young man was startled, and his tone was unable to hide his panic: "What are you doing?"

Wang Yongjun shook his phone and said, "I don't think you are a good person. I want the police to check your identity."

"You're talking nonsense! You...you're violating my privacy!" The young man got anxious and stood up and tried to snatch Wang Yongjun's cell phone.

However, Wang Yongjun quickly and efficiently grabbed the young man and pinned him down on the table.

“Ahhh! It hurts!”

Wang Yongjun sneered, but didn't let go, just laughed coldly.

"My friend's place was robbed yesterday, and the thief hasn't been caught yet. You'd better pray that nothing happens to her again, otherwise I'll let the police investigate you first!"

"You...you...you are slandering me!" The young man's tone was visibly panicked.

Even though Xiao Yingchun was surprised at first when she saw Wang Yongjun taking action, she understood everything now.

Wang Yongjun suspected that this person was the thief who came in the middle of the night the night before!
She looked at the thin young man and began to recall in her mind whether the person that day was him.

It’s a pity that I didn’t see the man’s face that day and couldn’t recognize him.

As Wang Yongjun let go of his hand, the young man ran away. After running for a distance, he got on a motorcycle and left without looking back.

When the man ran away out of sight, Xiao Yingchun asked, "Is that man really a thief?"

Wang Yongjun spoke more strictly: "It's possible."

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Yingchun didn't understand.

"Generally speaking, after committing a crime, criminals will choose to return to the crime scene in order to confirm whether they have been discovered or out of a secret desire to show off."

"This is a village in the city, and most of the people here are neighbors. He is a stranger, right?"

Xiao Yingchun nodded.

"It's not normal for a young man like this to just buy a bottle of water and sit here chatting when he should be working in the morning."

Xiao Yingchun suddenly realized, and then thinking about this man's disgusting behavior, which was like taffy, she became highly suspicious.

"So, this person might really be the thief that night! That thief was not tall and was very thin..."

When standing next to the bed, one can still feel the height.

Wang Yongjun's expression became serious: "Ms. Xiao, do you need me to investigate this person's situation?"

Xiao Yingchun looked surprised: "Is it convenient?"

Wang Yongjun nodded: "Wait a minute."

He first told his police friend about the thief who broke into Xiao Yingchun's house and the burglary, and then told him about the young man who came to harass Xiao Yingchun early in the morning and was caught red-handed by him.

Finally he asked if it was possible to check if this man was the thief that night.

Soon Wang Yongjun's phone rang: they said they could help check the surveillance camera on the road nearby. This person came on a motorcycle, and Wang Yongjun took a photo of his face. It would be easy to find out his identity based on the motorcycle and the photo.

But there is a prerequisite, which is that Xiao Yingchun needs to go to the police station to give a statement.

Xiao Yingchun hesitated, but thinking of the shock that night and the greasy and disgusting look of this man today, Xiao Yingchun nodded decisively: "Okay, I'll go to the police station."

Wang Yongjun asked her to wait: "Wait for me for a while, I'll ask Zhou Haipeng to come down and help you look after the store."

"Huh? Is this appropriate?"

Wang Yongjun laughed: "You gave him such a big business, so what if he helps you watch the store for a while? He should thank you!"

Xiao Yingchun smiled and said, "Okay then."

Wang Yongjun went up to the second floor, and Zhou Haipeng followed him down a moment later, also with a smile on his face: "Miss Xiao, just go ahead, I'll look after the store for you."

Xiao Yingchun smiled apologetically: "Then I'll trouble you."

Wang Yongjun indicated, "I'll go with you. I'm familiar with him and can do things more efficiently."

Xiao Yingchun had never been to the police station except to apply for an ID card. At this time, he did not care about causing too much trouble for others, so he immediately agreed to follow.

The two men arrived at the police station. Not long after they entered, a young policeman familiar to Wang Yongjun came out to meet them and take their statements.

After the statement was taken, the young policeman said that he would retrieve the surveillance footage of the relevant road sections as soon as possible to confirm the situation. If it was confirmed to be the same person, he would call that person to the police station for questioning.

Xiao Yingchun felt a little more at ease when she thought about being able to intimidate the other party.

As soon as Xiao Yingchun and Wang Yongjun came out of the police station, they wanted to invite Wang Yongjun to dinner.

Wang Yongjun smiled and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't have dinner today. You can go back to the store and do your work. It won't be too late to treat me to dinner when you're done."

Xiao Yingchun thought so too, and the two of them returned to Yingchun Store, where Wang Yongjun said goodbye and left.

Next comes various cleaning and construction.

Xiao Yingchun received a call from the courier, and the soap, cosmetics and other items had arrived.

After picking up the goods from the rented warehouse, Xiao Yingchun returned in the evening.

With several workers working at the same time, the first layer of cement on the wall and pipeline layout were completed.

It's hot now, so the cement dries quickly.

Zhou Haipeng said that he placed the order yesterday and they worked overtime today to make the doors and windows.

I estimate that all the doors and windows will be installed tomorrow, and we can start puttying and laying tiles the day after tomorrow.

"Ms. Xiao, you can buy lights and electrical appliances and furniture now. When the decoration is finished, you can move in directly with the furniture and appliances."

Xiao Yingchun was overjoyed and placed an order online directly.

Furniture, home appliances, curtains...

If you really want to decorate a home, there are still many things to buy...

In the past, my parents worried about these things, but now it’s my turn and I realize how demanding it is to finish decorating a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment on the second floor within a week.

After the decoration workers left, Xiao Yingchun chose the organizing function of the Space-Time Supermarket, cleaned up the dirty areas on the first floor, and continued to look for things he liked.

It was not until a tall figure blocked the light that she looked up blankly and met Fu Chenan's smiling gaze.

"You're here?"
