Chapter 119: Locking in the Suspect
The people from the Public Security Bureau received her, and Wei Mingxiang burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Comrade Public Security, Comrade Public Security, my house was robbed, and all the valuables were stolen!"
"My husband has liver cancer and is still in the hospital waiting for money to save his life. This damn thief stole everything from my house!"
"There is nothing left at home! Life is unbearable!"
Wei Mingxiang wiped her tears and complained loudly.
The more she spoke, the sadder she became, and tears started falling down her cheeks.
Wei Mingxiang felt the despair of life and couldn't stop crying.
The people from the Public Security Bureau comforted her with a few words, and Wei Mingxiang finally told her what had happened in a disjointed manner.
"I was accompanying my mother in the hospital these days, and when I came back I found that my things at home were gone."
"Okay, we already know about your situation, and now our people will help investigate."
"But thefts like this happen quite often in the village, and the chances of getting your stuff back are slim, so you have to be mentally prepared."
The Public Security Bureau filed a case and promised to investigate.
After hearing what they said, Wei Mingxiang felt very disappointed.
She originally thought that her things would be recovered after reporting the case, but she got this result.
"Comrade, this matter is really very important to our family, please help us!"
Wei Mingxiang could only beg and plead again, and almost fell to her knees crying again.
With the persuasion of the Public Security Bureau staff, Wei Mingxiang's emotions gradually stabilized.
Finally, two police officers accompanied her to the village.
The police officer drove a motorcycle and Wei Mingxiang followed behind.
The motorcycle was driving very fast, the wind was blowing, and Wei Mingxiang's buzzing head gradually became clear.
Under Wei Mingxiang's guidance, the police car drove smoothly into the village and stopped in front of Wei Mingxiang's house.
"Here, my home is right here!"
"When I came back, the front door was open. When I went in, everything in the house was gone!"
Wei Mingxiang jumped off the motorcycle and guided the police in.
The arrival of the police caused quite a stir in their village.
Many people gathered around to watch the fun, and at first they thought that someone in Wei Mingxiang's family had committed a crime.
But we didn't see Wei Mingxiang being controlled by anyone. Instead, she was making tearful accusations, and it was obvious that she had suffered a great injustice.
Wei Mingxiang invited the two police officers in, and then explained the situation to them in detail and told them what was missing from the house.
Wei Mingxiang was afraid that she would lose the things at home, so she described them in great detail.
The people from the Public Security Bureau nodded, indicating that they were aware of the situation.
After they had counted the lost property, they proceeded to look around the house.
Wei Mingxiang followed the crowd crying, but was stopped by the police after a while.
"Comrade, your constant noise is seriously affecting our work. Please take a rest aside and stop following us."
Wei Mingxiang finally reacted after being criticized. She sat aside uncomfortably, waiting for the public security comrades to continue investigating the situation.
There were many villagers gathered outside. Everyone was very curious about the situation in the house and was discussing it.
Under normal circumstances, if Wei Mingxiang saw so many people watching, she would have taken the initiative to walk out and explain the situation to them.
She is a person who likes to be lively, and the more people are interested in her family affairs, the happier she is.
Now she just feels that everything is going wrong and she has no interest in anything.
Wei Mingxiang sat in the chair like a fool, and remained indifferent to what others pointed at her.
She now even wants to die, and she has no desire to live.
After the people from the Public Security Bureau checked the house inside and out, they came out and asked Wei Mingxiang a few questions.
Wei Mingxiang had no expression on her face and was lazy when answering questions.
After investigating the situation at Wei Mingxiang's home, they then visited every household.
Wei Mingxiang's home was robbed and suffered heavy losses. The neighbors around her may be the perpetrator or witnesses.
Two police officers came out of the house and began to investigate the situation.
"There was a burglary at Wei Mingxiang's house, and we are now looking for witnesses. Among you, who is a neighbor who lives near Wei Mingxiang's house?"
People from the Public Security Bureau began to investigate, and everyone saw that something was not right and were afraid that they would be implicated.
Many people quietly retreated and left, not daring to stay here any longer.
Some neighbors living nearby had no choice but to accept the investigation obediently.
But everyone was very puzzled. They just came to watch the fun, so how did they almost get themselves involved?
Everyone felt very uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to say anything. In order to clear the suspicion as soon as possible, they could only accept the investigation honestly.
When Wei Mingxiang's house was robbed, most people were working in the fields, and some were collecting firewood in the mountains.
They were each other's eyewitnesses, so they were quickly cleared of suspicion.
Although the remaining people were not cleared of suspicion so quickly, they all had reasons and evidence to support their claims.
After the police searched their home, they found nothing.
In this way, most people were cleared of suspicion. The police investigated for a long time but ultimately could not find out anything.
This is a very troublesome problem for them.
Because no one in the village was a suspect, and no one saw what happened at the time.
This means that there is no clue in this matter and it has completely reached a dead end.
After things reached a stalemate, someone suddenly came quietly to provide clues.
A villager quietly told them some information about Wei Mingxiang's family.
Only then did the people from the Public Security Bureau discover that the population of Wei Mingxiang's family was very complicated.
So the thefts in her house were not necessarily caused by outsiders, but people at home were also suspects.
The most suspicious among these people are Wei Mingxiang’s older grandchildren.
After they found the new direction, they immediately launched an investigation.
First, I went to Jiang Wan's home to ask some routine questions, and concluded that Jiang Wan had been at home recuperating after giving birth and had not left the house for a long time.
Cheng Jinnian was also working in the yard that afternoon. He also showed a lot of finished products and explained his alibi.
Moreover, the couple can testify for each other, so suspicion is ruled out.
Then the people from the Public Security Bureau found Cheng Xiangxi, and originally just wanted to ask him about the situation.
However, they didn't expect that Cheng Xiangxi would directly provide them with important clues.
"I saw Cheng Wenli sneaking down the mountain with a bag of things in town."
"I called her but she ignored me and ran away very fast. She looked a little guilty."
The clues provided by Cheng Xiangxi are very valuable.
First of all, on the day of the incident, Cheng Wenli had just come out of the village.
Secondly, she was holding a bag in her hand, and she ran away when Cheng Xiangxi called her. It was obvious that she was guilty.
All signs indicate that Cheng Wenli is highly suspected of theft!
