Chapter 1539 The house was broken into
Upstairs, after confirming that they hadn't come up yet, the thief looked around and cautiously stepped out of the closet.
Mingxu looked up at the second floor, remaining silent for the time being. He had firearms stored up there; if the other side got their hands on them, they wouldn't be easy to deal with.
It's best to be cautious.
Misae suddenly exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! My gold ring!"
"Ah! Could it be that the golf club set they bought for me is also gone!" Guangzhi said, and hurriedly ran upstairs. Mingxu hadn't even reacted yet. His lips twitched, and he picked up Xiaokui and put her in the living room. At this moment, safety was the top priority.
Taking advantage of the moment when Hiroshi opened the door, the thief sneaked downstairs. Before he could even leave the house, he heard a noise inside and, without having time to open the door, hurriedly hid under the shoe cabinet.
Suddenly, a stench hit him, making him almost see his ancestors.
Mingxu looked around at the commotion and, unsurprisingly, spotted the guy under the shoe cabinet. He raised an eyebrow. "Wow, he's really good at hiding. Well, he's hiding well. Hmm, I can play with him."
"Oh no! My golf clubs! They were stolen too!"
"My ring was stolen too!"
"My brand new pineapple-patterned shirt was stolen too!"
"My newly bought necklace is gone too!"
"That's not important, hurry up and check it for me!"
Hearing Hiroshi and Misae's voices, Akira smiled and pretended to walk upstairs to the second floor. The thief saw this and hurriedly opened the door and went out, but before he could leave, Shin-chan spotted him.
Shin-chan noticed food in Shiro's bowl outside. Just as he was about to go back inside to ask, he spotted Shiro and looked at him.
"Oh, you're quite old, look very simple, and are wearing a tattered coat. You're exactly like Dad described, comrade!" Xiao Xin exclaimed in surprise as the thief looked at him.
"You've come here! Uncle's here! Comrade Uncle has arrived!" Xiao Xin shouted into the house.
The thief was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or leave, because he had already heard the commotion behind him. Helpless, he turned around to look at them.
"Oh, you said Uncle is here, where is he?"
"Hehe~ It's right here." Shin-chan pointed at the thief at the door.
"Oh, are you Comrade Uncle?"
"Uh, I'm an officer from the Criminal Investigation Department deployed by Kita Haruhi." As he spoke, the thief pretended to pull out a fake ID from his pocket, waved it in front of them, and then quickly put it away.
"Wow, you're really fast!" Misae and the others didn't doubt it for the time being and exclaimed in admiration.
"Uh, there have been a few burglaries happening in this area lately, and I happened to be patrolling nearby just now," the thief hurriedly explained.
"Oh, I see. But I didn't hear any sirens from the patrol cars." Hiroshi looked at him suspiciously.
"That's right, because I was worried that a burglar might still be around, so I didn't set off the alarm," the thief explained again.
"But don't detectives always operate in pairs?" Misae asked, puzzled.
The thief explained again, "Madam, you watch far too many TV dramas." He said it with an air of seriousness.
"Well, I was just saying, then please investigate carefully," Hiroshi said with a grin.
"Uh, okay." The thief had no choice but to agree.
After confirming on the second floor that his weapons hadn't been disturbed, Mingxu breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he'd see how this guy would perform. But his parents were too easily fooled...
I glanced at my watch. Five minutes had passed since I called the police. If nothing unexpected happened, they should arrive in another five minutes at most.
Let's take a look at this imposter's performance.
After leading him into the house, Hiroshi pointed to the messy living room and said, "Look, my house has been turned upside down."
"Oh, oh." The thief's lips twitched; he hadn't done it himself.
Misae continued to complain, "They ransacked our house! This burglar is really going too far!"
'Come on, why are you making such a fuss about me? Your stuff was already scattered all over the place!' The thief thought to himself, then chimed in with his own complaint: 'Oh dear, this thief has practically ransacked your house!'
"Yes, it's just too much! Our bankbooks are all gone! Waaah~" Misae said, bursting into tears again.
"Don't worry, let me check it out for you." With that, the thief entered the bedroom. Looking at the state of the room, his lips twitched again. Good heavens, what a mess! The housewife in this house is so irresponsible.
Following Misae's directions, he looked at the drawer: "Is the deposit book kept here?"
"What I mean is, without that person, how are we supposed to live starting tomorrow?" Misae said, covering her mouth and crying.
"Uh..." The thief felt utterly helpless.
Shin-chan chimed in from the side, "Honey, don't be so sad. You haven't saved much money anyway~"
"That's right, because my husband isn't very good at making money, and now there's not much left in there~" Misae subconsciously continued Shin-chan's words. As for how much money, that's definitely not something that can be known to anyone. Even if she had to say it, she would have to wait until she went to give her statement to clarify.
"I understand now." Xiaoxin nodded.
"You little brat!" Hiroshi glared at Shin-chan, annoyed.
The thief put on white gloves and, to Mingxu's somewhat surprised look, pulled out the deposit book and seal that Meiya had mentioned from the drawer: "Uh, Madam, what are these?"
"Oh, so the deposit department is still there."
"Oh no, so the savings weren't stolen after all!" Misae and Hiroshi exclaimed in surprise.
The thief said with some helplessness, "This deposit book seems to have fallen into the very back of the drawer."
“This victim is so panicked.” Xiao Xin wanted to continue his performance, but Mingxu pulled him away: “This is not the time for you to perform.”
"That's right, the adults are busy right now," Hiroshi said with a brief reprimand.
Misae then looked at the thief: "There's another one! My wallet, my wallet was stolen too!"
"Huh? My wallet." The thief was speechless. Didn't I know whether he'd stolen it or not? You must have just misplaced it!
Misae nodded and explained, "I usually keep my wallet on my desk."
"Mom, look over there." Mingxu nudged Meiya and pointed to the dressing table. Xiaokui had already picked up Meiya's lipstick and climbed to the corner. The group subconsciously looked over and realized that Meiya's jewelry and other belongings had been taken there by Xiaokui at some point. No wonder they couldn't find them.
"My wallet!" Misae saw her wallet in the bag and breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, your wallet wasn't stolen after all." The thief looked at the family in front of him speechlessly. You guys are really giving thieves a headache.
Misae blushed instantly, and Hiroshi awkwardly changed the subject: "But, the fact that even the bankbook and wallet weren't stolen, this thief must be pretty stupid."
“Yeah, that must be an incredibly stupid idiot thief!” Misae chimed in.
"I think he just didn't have enough time. Maybe the owner of the house came back as soon as he broke in," the thief said, his lips twitching, somewhat speechless.
"Ah! Then he should still be in this house!" Misae exclaimed in surprise, remembering what Mingxu had said earlier.
"That's certainly possible, but since your family didn't suffer any losses, I'll take my leave." With that, the thief tried to leave.
Misae suddenly clapped her hands: "Ah! There's still some secret stash of money. I've taped it to the back of the hooks!" she said, picking up the clock.
"Well, there are indeed traces of detached tape on the back, but when it comes to secret stashes of money, many wives hide them in the refrigerator as a cover." The thief then opened the refrigerator and pulled out an envelope from the freezer compartment: "Ah, what's this?"
