Chapter 449 The First Eliminator is Born
Chapter 449 The First Eliminator is Born
Time flies and it's the weekend.
Qi Mengru came to Xinhua Bookstore as promised and studied together with Jin Jianxian and the other two.
After the incident on Tuesday, Qi Mengru did not sit with the people in her previous group during class on Friday, but sat next to Li Kailang.
Her former team members were extremely disappointed when they saw this, knowing that the situation could not be reversed.
They wanted to make amends, but Li Kailang's strength was limited and they couldn't defeat him. They simply couldn't defeat him.
Qi Mengru was the core of the original team. Without her, the team naturally fell apart and everyone found their own people to form a team.
Bai Jie and Yan Wanbin were very satisfied when they saw this. They finally broke up this deformed group and got back on the right track of study.
Closer to home.
Qi Mengru's joining also added a bit of vitality to Jin Jianxian's group. After all, having such a beautiful girl to study with is pleasing to the eye and she is also a good student.
In addition, his good personality makes the learning atmosphere much better.
After a morning of study, I didn't feel as tired as before.
On the other side, the courtyard.
"Hahaha, great, great, I didn't expect it to be so easy. This is really easy."
"I didn't expect this kid to be so rich. He really made the right move. With so much money and food coupons, shouldn't he go out and have some fun?"
"What a pity. I can only do it this time. It will be difficult to do it next time."
"Who cares? This one success is better than a dozen. I'm rich!"
Ma Xu, the rear roommate, had just accomplished a big thing. He took advantage of someone's absence from the yard, sneaked into his house, and stole his things.
About a hundred yuan and more than ten kilograms of food coupons.
There are only a few people in the yard who can find the opportunity to steal things and steal such a large amount of money.
As expected, the unlucky guy was Li Kailang.
No one would have thought that the enthusiastic, generous and carefree Ma Xu would actually do such a thing. After confusing everyone for so long, he finally succeeded.
At this time, Ma Xu didn't notice that his laughter attracted someone's attention.
Ma Xu was able to steal things because he was well prepared. He learned from the people in the yard that Li Kailang went to Xinhua Bookstore every weekend and studied until noon before returning.
So, this morning, he got up and prepared, taking advantage of Li Kailang going out, when there was no one in the front yard, and when no one was paying attention.
Ma Xu used a piece of wire to pry open the door lock in a few seconds and sneaked in.
Ma Xu's purpose was clear: he only wanted money and tickets, and he didn't care about anything else.
He is much smarter than Bang Geng. He only wants something and leaves everything else alone as it is.
When Ma Xu found money and bills in the drawer of the living room, he couldn't suppress his inner desire and took them all, which also laid the groundwork for him to be caught.
If he had only taken half, Li Kailang would not have noticed at all, but Ma Xu couldn't suppress his greed at this moment.
After stealing the things, Ma Xu put the things he had moved back in place, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the front yard and came out immediately. He did not go back to the back room immediately, but went out instead.
After proving his alibi, he returned to the back room.
This way, no one would doubt him.
Li Kailang returned to the yard, unlocked the door and went home.
Looking around, he didn't notice anything unusual, nor did he realize that Ma Xu had visited his home.
After dinner, Li Kailang planned to take a nap to refresh himself.
"Dong Dong~"
"Who?"
When he opened the door, he saw Xu Damao, who was looking at Li Kailang with a smile on his face and touching his hands.
"Xu Damao, what's the matter?"
"Brother Li, I have something to ask of you."
"what's up?"
"Lend me 5 jin of food coupons, and I'll return them to you when they are issued at the end of the month."
"Borrow food coupons? Don't you have food at home? Why do you need food coupons?"
"I'll be frank. I want to use these food coupons to exchange for sugar coupons. The people selling the coupons don't want food, they want food coupons. I use all my food coupons to buy food, so I don't have any extra."
"Besides, the food coupons are so expensive out there, I'm going to lose a lot of money. Isn't this because I think of you?"
A few days ago, Xu Damao and Sai Fengxian got married. He went to the black market and finally found someone who had candy coupons.
But people don't want money or food, they just want food coupons. Anyone who has food coupons will exchange them for food first, so they won't keep them.
After asking around, no one in the yard had a food coupon, except Li Kailang.
Xu Damao had the most confidence in Li Kailang because he had the food coupons. After all, Li Kailang had the most food in stock and the largest quota.
After explaining the reason, Li Kailang understood, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll hold it for you."
Li Kailang turned around and went back to the house and opened the drawer where the money and bills were kept.
"Huh? Where's the money? Where's the ticket?" Seeing that the drawer was empty, Li Kailang was puzzled. He immediately changed the drawer to look for it when he couldn't find it.
Seeing that Li Kailang had been searching for a long time but couldn't find it, Xu Damao said, "Brother Li, what's wrong? Is there nothing?"
"This shouldn't be the case. I haven't exchanged my food coupons for food this month yet. I remember leaving them here. How come they're gone? If the food coupons are gone, then the money shouldn't be gone too."
Li Kailang searched for a long time, and found everything except the food coupons and money, except these two things.
At this moment, Li Kailang realized that his home had been robbed.
"Good guy, you come to my house to steal things! No way!" Li Kailang said angrily. No one dared to steal things from his house for a long time.
The last thief who stole something was severely punished by him. He regarded his home as a forbidden place and dared not approach it at all.
"Ah? Someone is stealing things? Who is it? How dare they do that?" Xu Damao never thought that someone would be so bold as to steal from the home of the living devil.
"I'm going to the police now."
"Thank you for your help." Xu Damao called the police without saying a word.
Li Kailang yelled in the front yard: "Everyone, there's a thief in the yard!"
In an instant, everyone heard about it and immediately ran to the front yard to inquire about the situation.
Soon, everyone gathered in the front yard.
"Li Kailang, what's going on? Where did the thief get into the yard?"
Li Kailang explained: "My house was robbed, and all my food coupons and money were gone."
"Food coupons? Who the hell stole the food coupons? Isn't this going to cause people to starve to death?"
"That's right. We must find the person. Today he stole Master Li's tickets, and tomorrow he might steal someone else's food coupons."
"Yes, we must find that person today."
In an instant, everyone in the yard was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to catch the thief.
In the crowd, Ma Xu looked at everyone's excitement and his heart trembled involuntarily. But when he thought about how perfectly he had done it, he suppressed his pounding heart.
He has done this many times and is sure of success.
Soon, Xu Damao brought the police over.
"Whose house was robbed?"
"Comrade police officer, this is my home." Li Kailang immediately stepped forward and explained what happened in detail.
They even took them in and opened the drawer. There were a bunch of tickets in the drawer, but the food coupons and money were gone.
"Are you sure that the money and bills are in the drawer and not somewhere else?"
"I'm sure, absolutely sure. I looked everywhere else and couldn't find it. They were all put together."
Seeing Li Kailang so confident, the police couldn't help but believe it a little and immediately began to investigate and ask for proof of absence.
Watching the police questioning one by one, Li Kailang looked at everyone, trying to find out who did it, but he couldn't find any flaws.
He simply ignored the people in the back room. After all, no one would believe that a refugee and an outsider like you, living under someone else's roof, would dare to steal things.
When these people appear, they are like light bulbs, shining brightly and attracting attention all the time. No one would think that they would dare to steal things.
The police questioned everyone, and most of them had alibis. They were either with their families or had left the yard, making the investigation very difficult.
The instigator, Ma Xu, successfully avoided suspicion due to his careful precautions.
After some questioning, no one was suspected.
"Comrade, do you have any impression of money? Do you have any precautions at home?"
Li Kailang shook his head: "No."
No one has been deliberately looking for trouble with him for several months, so how could he be on guard?
"Is that so? That's troublesome. You have to be prepared. This guy might be caught."
The police also encountered a problem. Since no one in the yard was a suspect, Li Kailang would most likely have to bear the consequences himself.
The police wanted to stop, but the people in the yard were not happy.
Yan Bugui immediately said, "Police comrade, how can this be possible? We must find the person."
"Yes, if we don't catch him today, what will we do if he gets stolen in the future? He's the food stamp."
"Yes, if we don't catch the person today, no one can leave. Everyone, please try to find him. We must not find him."
"That's right. I think the final suspects are the refugees. Our yard hasn't been stolen in a long time, but it happened right after they arrived. I think they stole it."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately looked towards the people in the back room.
Except for Bai Xiuwen and Xu Sinan, everyone else was in the back room, including the two children.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't say anything careless. Don't suspect others without any evidence." The policeman stood up to preside over the case.
"If you suspect someone, you need evidence. You can't just suspect them because they came and theft happened. Isn't that a mess?"
The police said this, but the crowd didn't listen and continued to stare at them. Seeing the turn, the police were helpless, "Are there any of you who suspect anyone?"
Ma Xu, Zhao Sinan and Song Qiunan shook their heads.
The policeman did not forget to ask the two children: "Where are you two?"
Song Yujie shook his head directly. Bai Chi was a little hesitant. He was scared of being stared at by everyone, so he quietly looked up at Ma Xu.
Her action instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The policeman immediately came to Bai Chi and whispered softly, "Little sister, if you have any findings, just tell us boldly. The policeman will take care of it for you."
Bai Chi looked at the policeman, then at Ma Xu: "Uncle policeman, he was laughing at home. He laughed so loudly that I heard it."
"Huh?" In an instant, everyone stared at Ma Xu.
"What's going on?" The police immediately stared at Ma Xu.
Ma Xu's eyes suddenly panicked for a moment, then he calmed down in an instant: "What? Can't I laugh at home?"
"why are you laughing?"
Ma Xu said stubbornly: "I thought of something funny, can't I just laugh? Police comrade, can't I even laugh?"
"Besides, it's just what a kid said, there's no evidence to support it. If I laugh loudly, I'm guilty. Then aren't other people who laugh loudly also guilty?"
What Ma Xu said does make sense. We should not doubt others just because they laugh.
Many people in the yard were laughing loudly at home. If this suspicion was raised, a lot of people in the yard would have to re-examine the case.
The policeman asked again: "Little sister, what else did you hear?"
Bai Chi shook her head and she heard laughter.
Seeing this, things stopped again.
"Fortunately, it was almost there." Ma Xu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his pounding heart finally calmed down.
Naturally, Li Kailang could not hear his changes.
Li Kailang thought to himself, "It looks like it's you. With such an obvious heartbeat, who else could it be but you?"
Li Kailang was also puzzled. Why didn't he notice anything unusual about Ma Xu when the police interrogated him just now?
Li Kailang suddenly stood up and said, "That's not necessarily true, Comrade Ma Xu."
Ma Xu asked angrily: "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything. When the police questioned you just now, you said you were not in the yard. Did you go out?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"What did you go out for?"
"Nothing done."
"You didn't do anything? You're an unemployed person, you didn't go out to look for a job, and you didn't do anything. Do you think I would believe you?"
"So what? Do I have to find a job? Can't I take a rest? Won't she have nothing to do either?" Ma Xu suddenly said to Song Qiunan.
Li Kailang said, "She is she, you are you, I am asking you here, don't change the subject."
"You said you had nothing to do, so where did you go? Can anyone prove it to you?"
"What? Are you a policeman? You come to interrogate me. Who do you think you are?"
"I dare not answer. I think you stole it."
"You are talking nonsense. Do you have any evidence? Police comrade, he is slandering me, slandering me."
Although the police didn't believe it, they had to stand up and said, "Master Li, you can't say anything without evidence."
Li Kailang ignored them. Ma Xu's heart was pounding when he was questioned by him. He was obviously feeling guilty.
If he hadn't committed any crime, there would be no need to investigate. Why would his heart be pounding and he would go to talk to the police?
"Humph, I think it was you who did it. You took advantage of the fact that no one was around to pick the lock of my house and sneaked in."
"You're talking nonsense. Why would I go in there if there's nothing wrong? Is there anything in your house that's worth stealing? Evidence? Where's the evidence?"
"Evidence? Isn't the evidence in your hands? Not only did you steal my money, you also stole my food coupons and a big yellow croaker, right?"
"A homeless thief like you will definitely like my big yellow croaker, right?"
"You're talking nonsense! Where the hell did you get that yellow croaker? Don't get stuck." Ma Xu spoke frankly, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Ma Xu had said the wrong thing, and Li Kailang suddenly realized: "Oh! So it was you who stole it."
Ma Xu looked at the policeman and said, "You are talking nonsense! Police comrade, he is slandering me. I didn't steal anything."
At this point, even a fool would understand that it was Ma Xu who stole it.
The police immediately stepped forward to grab Ma Xu and sternly scolded him: "Tell me the truth, where is the stolen thing?"
Ma Xu still wanted to argue: "I don't have it, I don't have it."
Li Kailang: "It seems that you will not give up until you reach the Yellow River. You will definitely not leave it outside in such a short time. I think it is in your house."
"Comrade police, if you search inside, you will definitely find it."
Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Ma Xu struggled and said, "No, no, you can't go in!"
His attitude immediately exposed the fact that he stole something.
The police immediately entered the room and found the stolen money in a short while.
"The evidence is irrefutable. Please come with us!"
The stolen goods were right in front of them, but no one expected that Ma Xu was really a thief.
"Okay, I didn't expect it was you who stole the things. I misjudged you."
"I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic, but you actually lied to me, ugh!"
"Bah! You little thief, I was blind. I didn't expect you to be such a person."
"Pooh!!!" Everyone spat at Ma Xu.
When Ma Xu saw that the truth was revealed, his eyes turned ferocious and he stared viciously at Bai Chi, who had caused him to be exposed.
He had not planned to stay in the old city. When he saw that Li Kailang had so much money, he thought of taking it all and running away. He did not expect that the plan would be exposed so quickly.
There was nothing wrong originally, it was all Bai Chi's fault.
"You bastard, you're killing me, watch me"
"Snapped!!!"
Before Ma Xu could finish his words, Li Kailang slapped him in the face.
"Puff~" a stream of blood spurted out, Ma Xu gritted his teeth in hatred and stared at Li Kailang.
"I gave you the face, but you dared to threaten a child! And you dared to look at me!"
Li Kailang slapped Ma Xu twice more, knocking him unconscious.
Li Kailang's behavior frightened Bai Chi so much that he stepped back hastily and immediately hid behind the police.
Seeing the turn, Li Kailang was furious: "Do you want to faint? You wish!"
"Clap clap clap!!!"
A series of slaps woke up Ma Xu, who had fainted, and then knocked him unconscious again.
Yan Bugui looked at the police and said, "Comrade police, you must take him to be shot. You must not let him out. He is a scourge to us. He dares to do this at such a young age. What will happen to him when he grows up?"
"Yes, he must be shot. He must not be allowed to live. If he comes out to avenge us, it will be terrible."
"I think we should just kill him now to save ourselves the trouble. If anything goes wrong, we can all shoulder the responsibility together."
Seeing the excited crowd, the police immediately comforted everyone, "Don't worry, we will definitely give you an explanation."
"The higher-ups have said that if he commits a crime, he will not be forgiven and will not be allowed to retaliate."
After saying that, he immediately took Ma Xu away, and gave all the stolen money to Li Kailang.
Everyone was very sorry that Ma Xu was not killed.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that he would be such a person. This really shows that people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs."
Seeing Ma Xu being taken away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now that they had caught him, they no longer had to worry about thieves stealing their things.
Li Kailang looked at the tiny Bai Chi, patted her head and thanked her: "Thank you, little sister."
“You’re welcome.” Bai Chi was so scared by the tall and mighty Li Kailang that she took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Li Kailang didn't care and took out 5 jin of food coupons and 10 yuan to give to her, "Thank you for helping me find the thief. Take these food coupons. I want to thank you."
"No, I can't have that." Bai Chi refused as a matter of course.
"No, you have to accept it. If you hadn't helped me find the thief, all my money and tickets would be gone. I would have starved to death."
"You must accept this ticket. If you don't accept it, you are looking down on me, and then I will be angry."
When the little girl heard that Li Kailang was angry, she became even more scared and could only accept it fearfully.
Li Kailang smiled slightly, took out a handful of candy and gave it to her, "Take it and eat it."
Bai Chi was very embarrassed and didn't dare to accept the candy, but Li Kailang patted her head gently and said, "Go home."
Then he stood up and looked at everyone, "If anyone dares to take the little girl's candy, don't blame me for being blind."
Everyone immediately looked away. Was Li Kailang talking about candy?
He also mentioned money and tickets, so that they wouldn't have any bad thoughts.
5 jin of food coupons, that’s 5 jin, how dare they give so much food?
Li Kailang is also amazing. He actually produced so many things. But considering that he has a lot of food, it is not surprising.
As for Ma Xu's punishment, he was originally a refugee and now he dares to commit crimes, which is an aggravated crime.
Although the stolen money was recovered and he was not executed, he still had no easy life in the second half of his life and had to work in a mine for another ten or eight years.
After working for eight or ten years, your body would be exhausted, let alone revenge.
