Chapter 359 Stealing money?
Xia Miao had just said the address when she heard crying outside.
Zhou Xiaoduo ran out and grabbed the frightened Zhu Yi.
He Shu and Xia Miao also went out when they saw this. Zhu Yi kept crying with her head down. She was not wearing a coat or shoes, and the red sweater she was wearing was torn.
"Zhu Yi, don't cry, what happened? Say something?"
Zhu Yi hugged Xia Miao and burst into tears. He Shu and Zhou Xiaoduo then noticed that Zhu Yi's face was covered with scratches.
"Who hit you? Say something?" Zhou Xiaoduo stamped her feet anxiously.
Then, a woman ran out of the community, wearing a thick down jacket and holding a baseball bat in her hand.
As he walked over here, he yelled, "Security, don't let her get away, she's stealing things!"
Zhu Yi was so scared that she hid behind Xia Miao, and He Shu stepped forward and stood in front of them.
"What? Did you call for help? Security, stop them. If they run away, I'll come after you!"
The security guard heard this and looked at the scene: "What's going on? Mrs. Lin."
"She's a thief. We hired her to tutor our child. Each lesson costs 150 yuan. But she actually dared to steal my money."
"I didn't steal." Zhu Yi grabbed Xia Miao's clothes tightly. Although she was extremely scared, she still defended herself.
"You didn't steal? If you didn't steal, why don't you dare let me search you? Why is there less money in my house? This is the second time!"
The woman became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she raised the baseball bat in her hand to hit Zhu Yi.
He Shu grabbed the stick and said, "Don't do it. Do you have any evidence to prove that she stole the money?"
"Evidence? No one else comes to my house except her. If the money is lost, who else could it be other than her?"
Zhu Yi burst into tears: "Miao Miao, Xiao Duo, please believe me, I really didn't steal the money."
"You said you didn't steal it? Then do you dare to let me search?"
He Shu looked back at Zhu Yi who was hiding behind Xia Miao, then turned to look at the female owner: "You have no right to search someone else's body, and beating someone is even more wrong. If you think she is a thief, call the police."
"You think I don't dare? I'm telling you, little girl, if I hadn't felt sorry for you and thought it was not easy to study in the city, I would have called the police to arrest you last time."
The woman hit He Shu twice, but he refused to let go. She simply threw away the baseball bat, took out her cell phone and called the police.
He Shu threw the stick aside and did not stop the other party from calling the police. Instead, he turned around and walked to Xia Miao and looked at Zhu Yi.
"You really didn't steal?"
Zhu Yi's glasses must have fallen off when she was running. She tried hard to focus her eyes: "I really didn't steal it."
"Okay, then don't be afraid. When the police come, we will accompany you to prove your innocence."
When He Shu said this, he stared at Zhu Yi's expression. She just pursed her lips and nodded.
This made He Shu believe that she was telling the truth.
In fact, sometimes when Xia Miao is with He Shu, she would also talk about a girl named Zhu Yi.
She said Zhu Yi was very pitiful, and it seemed that her family conditions were very poor and she didn't even have any extra clothes.
But Zhu Yi was very motivated. She worked hard to get scholarships and also did part-time jobs. But no one knew where the money she earned went, and she still lived a very hard life.
After calling the police, the female owner kept pointing at Zhu Yi and calling her a thief.
He Shu didn't want to conflict with her, as facts would always prove who was innocent.
"Give her back her clothes and shoes, and her glasses."
The female owner sneered: "She was guilty of her crime and ran away without even putting on shoes. She deserved to freeze to death."
"It was her... She wouldn't let me leave and beat me... I took the opportunity to escape..."
Zhu Yizhen was beaten badly. Xia Miao lifted up her messy and thick bangs to check, and found that the big bump on her forehead was as big as an egg.
Seeing Zhu Yi shivering with cold, Xia Miao took off her cotton jacket and put it on her.
When He Shu saw this, he took off his down jacket and gave it to Xia Miao.
"Hey you...I'm not cold, you should put it on quickly." Xia Miao refused, but He Shu just stuffed the laptop into her hands and asked her to hold it.
Then he lowered his head to help Xia Miao zip up her pants: "Wear it even if you're not cold."
"Uncle, let my classmate go into your room and wait. I'll go get her shoes."
The security guard looked at the female owner and nodded. Xia Miao and Zhou Xiaoduo hurriedly accompanied Zhu Yi into the house.
The female owner also wanted to follow in, but He Shu stopped her again: "Sister, take me home to get her things."
"Why? Is it because I didn't let her wear it? She is guilty as a thief."
No matter how He Shu tried to persuade her, the female owner just refused to return Zhu Yi's clothes and shoes.
Zhou Xiaoduo couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out to curse at her. The two almost got into a fight, but luckily the security guard helped to stop them.
The police responded quickly, and two officers arrived in about ten minutes.
After asking clearly, one of them saw that Zhu Yi was only wearing a pair of socks, so he asked the female owner to return the shoes.
The female owner then called and said, “Please send down .”
Ten minutes later, a boy who was probably in middle school came over carrying Zhu Yi's bag, clothes, shoes, and a pair of glasses with a broken leg.
This boy was the student tutored by Zhu Yi.
Zhou Xiaoduo and Xia Miao helped Zhu Yi put on her clothes. Since she couldn't wear her glasses, they put them away temporarily.
The police mediated between them at the security booth. After asking the questions clearly, the police asked a question: "You said she is the only one at home, but don't you have your son?"
The female owner was immediately furious: "How could my son steal my money?"
The junior high school student also said that he did not take it: "My mother gives me pocket money every day, do I need to steal from home?"
This female owner lost one thousand yuan in cash at home. She said it was also one thousand yuan last time. It was only after Zhu Yi went to her home as a tutor that she realized she started losing money.
After Zhu Yi ran away, she didn't go anywhere else, so if she stole the money, it must be with her.
However, the two policemen were men, so it was inappropriate for the female owner to search. When Xia Miao and the others searched, the female owner said they were her family and even said she suspected the money had been transferred.
This made me start to suspect that the money was with Xia Miao and the others.
After arguing for a long time without any solution, the police officer said that if this was the case, they could only take everyone back to the police station for mediation.
He Shu stepped forward and said to one of the policemen, "Shouldn't we go to her house first before going to the police station? What if she put it away and forgot about it?"
"How could I forget? My money is all in the drawer. How could I forget how much is missing?"
The police didn't want them to quarrel, so they asked the female owner to lead the way, and the group followed her to her home.
The female owner's house is very big, and there is a household on each floor when the elevator door opens.
The rooms and living room are decorated magnificently, and the owner is definitely not short of money.
The living room was a bit messy, with broken cups on the floor.
The police first went to see where the female owner kept her money, which was on the bedside table in her master bedroom.
She said that she would usually keep some of the cash in her house outside as a backup.
There are no surveillance cameras installed in the house, only in the corridor, and you can't see anything.
After that, I searched the master bedroom and looked at the study room that Zhu Yi used for tutoring. Next to the study room was the bedroom of the junior high school boys.
