Translator: Dragon Boat Translation
“There is no need to report the case. Even if we do, we won’t know when they will arrive. Let’s investigate the village first. One household at a time. I don’t believe we can’t find the thief!”
“I agree with the chief,” the villagers responded.
The village chief pulled Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan who was kneeling on the ground up and continued, “Jiang Chuan, your family should follow me and identify which house has your things.”
Jiang Chuan nodded.
They started from the house nearest to Jiang Chuan’s house. Since all the houses were similar, they could tell if there was anything from their house just with a glance. Besides, Jiang Xia already had a suspect in mind.
There were only two families that had a grudge against her family. One was the Jiang family, and the other was the Sun family.
The chief has the same thoughts but in order to be fair, he had to go through all the houses to prove the innocence of the other villagers.
…..
Nowadays, everything could be scattered, but not the hearts of the villagers. If their trust were all over the place, the village would risk facing a lot of problems.
After walking from house to house for nearly half an hour, they finally arrived at the Sun family’s house. The Sun family’s house was pitch black, without a trace of light.

The village head knocked on the door of the Sun family’s house and said, “Old Sun, open the door. The village was robbed tonight. We’re coming to your house to take a look.”
There was no response from the house after the village chief finished speaking.
“Old Sun, if you don’t open the door now, well suspect that you’re the thief. We won’t hold responsibility for breaking your door.”
Seeing the village chief’s threat, the Sun couple could no longer pretend that they didn’t hear it.
After another period of silence, Madam Sun finally opened the door, but she didn’t let everyone in. She only opened the door a crack and asked, “Village chief! What’s the matter?”
The village chief’s wife sneered, “Why are you pretending you don’t know anything? The commotion outside has been so loud and you claim not to hear a thing?”
Madam Sun put on a smile, ”1 went to bed early with my Old Sun, so I really didn’t hear you. What happened?”
The village chief’s wife wanted to say something, but the village chief stopped her, “There was a thief in the village tonight. For everyone’s safety, we have to check every house.”
“Ah? Such a big thing had happened! I don’t even know. Chief, look at me and my man, we’ve never left the house. This shouldn’t be our fault, right?” Madam Sun had a flattering smile.
“Well only know if it’s your family after we’ve finished checking. We have checked every family, what makes your family so special?” After the village chief finished speaking, the two young men behind him pushed open the Sun family’s door.
“You guys! Why are you still barging in!” Madam Sun exclaimed.
“Are you feeling guilty? Is that why you’ve been stopping us from entering?” Jiang Xia said, putting on an innocent look.
“I, what do I have to be guilty about?” The more the old lady spoke, the less confidence she had.
Even though Madam Sun tried stopping them, it was no use and everyone entered the house.
Inside the house, the man with the surname Sun was lying down. He didn’t get up when everyone came.
Madam Sun took a few steps forward and blocked everyone, “Chief! My man is really not feeling well today, and his voice is hoarse, so I really can’t welcome all of you.”
fiang Xia whispered a few words into her sister’s ear before Jiang Gu slipped out of the crowd.
“There’s no need to inform us. We’ll leave after we’re done.” The village chief said coldly.
Hearing the village chief say this. Madam Sun had no choice but to turn her body to the side to let them see what was inside.
Jiang Xia noticed that Jiang Gu had climbed onto the brick bed without anyone noticing.
“Uncle, why are you still covering yourself with the blanket on such a hot day?”
A clear child’s voice was heard. At the same time, the quilt on the man was pulled up by Jiang gu.
“Little brat, give me the blanket.”
The man tugged at Jiang Gu’s arm and almost pushed her off the bed. Fortunately, Zhou Lan was quick to react and caught her daughter in her arms.
“Ah! That’s my oil lamp!”
Jiang Gu’s loud shout attracted everyone’s attention to the item in the man’s arms.
The man panicked for a moment and then quibbled, “What do you mean by your oil lamp? This is mine.”
“That’s mine! You don’t have such a pretty thing in your house! ” Jiang Gu retorted.
“Little brat, who taught you to lie! What right do you have to say that this is yours?” The man said with a fierce expression.
Seeing that the man refused to admit it, Jiang Xia’s face turned livid, “Xiao Gu, do you still remember the name I taught you to write a fewT days ago?’1
The crowd did not understand what Jiang Xia meant by that. They only saw Jiang Gu rushing over to snatch the oil lamp from the man’s hand.
The man refused and pushed Jiang Gu again.
This push made Zhou Lan even angrier. She mimicked the man and pushed him.
The man could not withstand the kind of strength Zhou Lan possessed and almost fell backward from her push.
“Xiao Gu, do you have any evidence?” The village chief asked..
