Chapter 222: One Hundred Percent Crime By Acquaintance
The partner of Wanshi Buchou heard her say that, and suspicion appeared in his eyes: “You weren’t scammed, were you!”
“No way!” Wanshi Buchou glared at him, “You don’t understand anything, don’t talk nonsense!”
Her partner looked suspicious and frowned, “Don’t go around gifting money to people randomly, I’m telling you!”
“Get lost!” Wanshi Buchou waved her hand irritably, “Even if I gift money, it’s my own money, so you don’t need to nag.”
【 What’s the situation with this couple? 】
【 Although I don’t know what happened, I like hearing what the girl says. She’s not spending the man’s money, so why is he so nosy! 】
【 Are they dating or married? If not married, run quickly! 】
Wanshi Buchou held her mobile phone and moved to another seat. She glanced at the bullet comments and explained, “We can’t run, we’ve been married for more than half a year.”
She looked at Jiang Yuan and greeted her with a smile, “Hello Streamer, my name is Xiao Wan. I don’t have a pet, but we are currently in my hometown, and there’s a little black dog here.”
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, “Hello Xiao Wan, do you need me to help you with something?”
“Yes.” Wanshi Buchou nodded, a hint of distress appearing between her brows, “Actually, I just felt unwilling and wanted to try. I didn’t expect to connect successfully among tens of thousands of people.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan said softly, “Then tell me about your trouble first.”
Wanshi Buchou sighed, “Alas, didn’t I say earlier that I’ve been married to my husband for more than half a year? At that time, my husband’s family gave us the ‘five metals’ (dowry), and my dowry was ‘four gold items’. In total, there were nine gold items.”
Her voice paused slightly, and she sighed again, “Because my husband and I are renting an apartment outside, we were worried about carrying so much gold, so we left it at my husband’s family’s place.”
“And then?” Jiang Yuan could already guess what was happening.
Wanshi Buchou said heartbrokenly, “My husband and I took leave the day before yesterday to come back to my hometown. Last night, I suddenly had the urge to take out those gold items to look at them. I never expected that all the gold was gone! I truly regret it, I should have taken it all with me back then!”
【 Huh? All gone? 】
【 Oh my god, that’s too tragic! 】
【 Nine gold items added up must be hundreds of thousands, right? 】
Wanshi Buchou saw the bullet comments and nodded heavily, “My husband’s family bought ten thousand for the ‘five metals’, and although my dowry was only ‘four gold items’, they were all bracelets and necklaces, adding up to over a hundred thousand.”
“Why didn’t you report it to the police?” Jiang Yuan asked.
Wanshi Buchou frowned, saying sadly, “I want to report it to the police too, but I have no idea when those gold items were lost, because they’ve been at home for more than half a year. Also, there are no surveillance cameras in the countryside, so it’s hard to investigate.”
【 This situation is indeed difficult. 】
【 It’s estimated to be a crime by acquaintance. 】
【 I also think it was done by someone they know. How would an outsider know you have so much gold at home? 】
Wanshi Buchou looked back and lowered her voice, “Actually, my parents guessed the same way, but this is my husband’s family, so it’s hard for me to say such things. Last night, the more I thought about it, the more distressed I became, so I mentioned it to my husband this morning. He reacted strongly, saying I was suspecting his parents.”
“Then we started quarreling, and we argued all the way until we connected to the live stream just now.”
【 So much gold was lost, and your husband isn’t worried at all? 】
【 No, your in-laws are at home, didn’t they even notice if a thief entered the house? 】
Wanshi Buchou said, “My in-laws live on the first floor, and my husband and I live on the second floor. They usually don’t come up to the second floor unless it’s something important.”
Jiang Yuan saw the anti-theft bars installed on the window behind her and said indifferently, “Are there any problems with the anti-theft bars on your second floor?”
“I don’t think so.” Wanshi Buchou said, then got up to check around, “Everything is fine, no problems.”
Jiang Yuan asked again, “Do you have a third floor?”
Wanshi Buchou shook her head, “No, only two floors were built.”
Jiang Yuan said, “Then for a thief to get to the second floor, they would have to enter through the main door on the first floor.”
“Right!” Wanshi Buchou thought of something and frowned, “If they entered from the first floor, how could my in-laws not have noticed?”
【 100% a crime by acquaintance! 】
【 A conspiracy theory from me: maybe your in-laws stole the gold… 】
【 If it wasn’t the in-laws, it was a relative. 】
Wanshi Buchou’s mood was very complicated seeing these bullet comments.
In fact, she only suspected someone she knew, and never thought it would involve her in-laws.
A clear and pleasant voice interrupted her thoughts, “Xiao Wan, didn’t you say your in-laws have a little black dog? If a thief entered, it should have barked, right?”
“Yes!” Wanshi Buchou’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “Streamer, can you ask it if it saw anyone come to the second floor to steal things?”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “Okay.”
【 What if your in-laws stole it? Will you get a divorce? 】
【 I guess your husband will ask you to forgive your in-laws. 】
Wanshi Buchou said while putting on her headphones, “Actually, I don’t know. I just hope they have nothing to do with it.”
After saying that, she quickly went downstairs.
Her partner was in the living room on the first floor, drinking tea and chatting with his parents.
Seeing this scene, Wanshi Buchou’s heart burned with anger.
She lost over two hundred thousand, and he wasn’t worried at all, still in the mood to drink tea and chat here!
Bastard!
She cursed silently in her heart.
Seeing her come downstairs, her in-laws smiled and invited her to sit down for tea.
“No,” Wanshi Buchou’s attitude was indifferent, “I’m going out to play with the dog.”
Her in-laws stared at her back with displeasure.
“Listen to what your daughter-in-law is saying!”
“We asked her to have tea together, and she said she wants to go play with the dog?”
Wanshi Buchou’s partner tried to smooth things over, “She lost so much gold, she’s in a bad mood, please understand.”
Wanshi Buchou went into the yard and saw the little black dog lying on the ground, looking bored.
She flipped the camera to point at the little black dog and cautiously approached it, “Xiao Hei, let’s chat.”
Honestly, she was a little afraid of dogs.
Hearing the movement, the little black dog got up from the ground, its bright dog eyes looking at her curiously, wagging its tail vigorously, “You’re not afraid of me anymore?”
Wanshi Buchou subconsciously took two steps back.
The little black dog whimpered wistfully and lay back down on the ground.
“Xiao Wan, are you afraid of dogs?” Jiang Yuan asked.
Wanshi Buchou said, “Yes, a little.”
Jiang Yuan smiled, “Don’t be afraid, Xiao Hei won’t hurt you. It knows you’re afraid of it. Earlier, when you approached it proactively, it thought you weren’t afraid of it anymore. Seeing you retreat, it lay back down.”
“Really?” Wanshi Buchou looked at the little black dog, hesitated for a moment, and tried to approach it again, “Xiao Hei…”
The little black dog looked up at her again and barked, “I don’t bite, don’t be scared.”
Jiang Yuan said, “It says it doesn’t bite, so don’t be scared.”
Hearing this, Wanshi Buchou pressed her lips together and tentatively reached out her hand towards it.
Seeing this, the little black dog stretched out its neck and offered its head.
Wanshi Buchou’s fingers stiffly touched it once, then quickly retracted her hand.
The little black dog grinned at her with its tongue out, “Hehe, see, I really don’t bite!”
