Chapter 120: Wenli admits to stealing
After getting the direction, they immediately followed this clue to investigate.
First, we got to know Cheng Wenli's basic situation, and then we identified several places she often went to.
After their careful investigation, they soon found important clues.
Cheng Wenli did pick up a few pieces of clothing and sell them at the gate of the staff quarters yesterday.
Based on the clues, they found several people who bought the clothes.
The clothes that Cheng Wenli sold were soon found.
The clothes were brought to Wei Mingxiang for her personal confirmation.
"It's mine! These clothes are mine!"
Wei Mingxiang thought the case had been solved, and she was so excited that she spoke incoherently.
The people from the Public Security Bureau told her what had happened.
"Your lost property may have been stolen by your granddaughter Cheng Wenli."
"Impossible! Cheng Wenli is timid and cowardly. She definitely doesn't have the guts to do these things!"
Even in the face of ironclad evidence, Wei Mingxiang flatly denied the result.
"This is the current situation of the investigation, and all the evidence points to Cheng Wenli as the person who stole the items."
"Cheng Wenli is your granddaughter. Do you plan to settle this matter privately or publicly?"
The people from the Public Security Bureau gave the choice to Wei Mingxiang.
Wei Mingxiang was suddenly at a loss, and she asked like a fool.
"What is a private settlement and what is a public settlement?"
"Private settlement means you guys solve it privately, the Public Security Bureau will not file a case and will no longer be involved in this matter."
"No matter what your relationship is, we will handle the matter in a fair and impartial manner and according to the law!"
The people from the Public Security Bureau made their words very clear, and Wei Mingxiang was a little dumbfounded.
She nodded, but didn't make a decision immediately.
"Let me think about this matter carefully."
Wei Mingxiang never thought that the person who stole the things was Cheng Wenli.
She also wanted to send her directly to the Public Security Bureau, but what would happen if she was sent there?
Cheng Wenli has no money and no connections, so being locked up cannot make up for her losses.
This problem was very troublesome and Wei Mingxiang didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
Finally, she made up her mind to find Cheng Wenli first and find out the situation clearly.
Find out how much she stole and how to make up for the loss.
If she really squanders all the money and things in the house, don't blame her for being rude.
"Comrade, where did you find Cheng Wenli? I want to go find her and find out more about the situation."
Wei Mingxiang was furious but she didn't show it.
She pretended to be calm and successfully found out the whereabouts of Cheng Wenli.
Wei Mingxiang didn't have time to go to the hospital to take care of Cheng Guoqing, so she rushed to the school where Cheng Wenli was.
It turned out that during the few days she disappeared, she hid in the school dormitory every day.
Although she has not paid the tuition for the next semester, she is a student in name only, so she can live here temporarily.
Until now, Cheng Wenli didn't know that what she had done had been exposed.
Her end was miserable, and her fate was completely in the hands of Wei Mingxiang.
But she is unaware of it now and is still feeling smug about having sold a few pieces of clothing and successfully raised the tuition for next semester.
She thought she could change her destiny and live a completely different life.
But I didn't expect Wei Mingxiang to suddenly show up at the school dormitory.
She came quietly and Cheng Wenli was caught without any knowledge.
Cheng Wenli was startled and almost jumped up.
Wei Mingxiang pushed open the door of her dormitory and walked forward briskly.
Cheng Wenli was caught before she could react.
Wei Mingxiang dragged Cheng Wenli off the bed roughly, cursing at her.
"Cheng Wenli, you are so brave! How dare you steal things from home and sell them!"
"You, how do you know I took it?"
Cheng Wenli let the cat out of the bag in a hurry, and she was shocked after she said it.
Cheng Wenli quickly covered her mouth, but Wei Mingxiang had already heard it.
"You still admit it! But the police have already investigated it. It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. You are already a thief and a suspect!"
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Wenli was a little slow to react. Wei Mingxiang snorted coldly and explained in a good mood.
"What I mean is that I have already reported your theft to the police, and the police have already found out about you!"
"You sold a few pieces of clothing at the gate of the family compound yesterday. Now the clothes have been recovered. The police said that if I want to deal with you according to the law, you will have to go to the police station and go to jail."
Wei Mingxiang deliberately paused here, and Cheng Wenli was immediately shocked by the thought of a day in jail.
"I don't want to go to jail! I don't want to go to jail! It's because you said you wouldn't pay my tuition that I had no choice but to take your five pieces of clothing."
"You have so many clothes in your closet, and each one is very expensive. I can't even pay my tuition, so what if I exchange a few clothes for tuition?"
"We are all family. Is it necessary for you to go to the police station for such a small matter? You even want me to go to jail. Are you really my grandmother? How can you be so cruel?"
Until this moment, Cheng Wenli still had no idea where she went wrong.
In her opinion, she just took five pieces of clothing from Wei Mingxiang and sold them for a total of 5 yuan.
This was not even 100 yuan, but Wei Mingxiang wanted to send her to the police station. What's the logic behind this?
Although Cheng Wenli felt a little guilty about having done something wrong, she was the first one to be dissatisfied with Wei Mingxiang for doing such a drastic thing for such a small matter!
"Everything in my closet is now empty, including clothes, skincare products, farm tools, dishes, and all kinds of things at home!"
"The whole house has been emptied out. There's nothing valuable left. And you're telling me it's a small problem?"
"This is related to whether we can have food to eat in the future and whether your grandfather's illness can be cured! Do you still think this is a small problem?"
The more Wei Mingxiang thought about it, the angrier she became, so her voice became louder and louder.
She was filled with rage, and seeing Cheng Wenli's nonchalant attitude made her even more furious.
"Impossible! I only took 5 pieces of clothing and nothing else!"
"I will admit what I took, but don't try to put the blame on me if it's not me!"
Cheng Wenli was like a cat with its fur standing on end, and suddenly became very excited.
"Cheng Wenli, I came here in person just to give you a chance, but I didn't expect you to speak to me so rudely."
"You stole something, you stole something, now you don't want to admit it?"
"I came to you just to settle things privately. I didn't want to make things so awkward. But if you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude!"
