Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Resolution "Moreover, the lock on your wardrobe was locked by your own hands, and during your shower, the keyring was always on your wrist. Afterwards, when you went to the changing room, your locker was securely locked..." The middle-aged man interrupted Kang Li, "Girl, I don’t want to hear about this, I just want my money back now!" Kang Li, "Why should we give you money for something my brother didn’t do? Comrade, don’t forget, you discovered your money was missing after you opened the locker and got dressed. From this, I have three deductions: one is that you lost the money at some unknown time; 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺 another is that your money was stolen while you were on your way to the public bathhouse when someone brushed past you; and lastly, ask your family members, see if someone needed the five dollars urgently and took it without telling you." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man paused for a long moment, not looking at Kang Li, and he stammered to Wang Xiaobo, "Officer... Comrade police officer, you are a people’s officer, you have to help me retrieve those five dollars. Although I don’t have evidence to prove that the kid did take my money, I know about him, an orphan who has no parents and lives meal to meal. He definitely has a motive to commit the crime." Kang Li, "Having no parents and living meal to meal doesn’t mean one has a vile character, does it? Comrade, you wouldn’t be discriminating against orphans, would you? Besides, my brother has me, his sister. How could he be an orphan?" The middle-aged man, "That kid doesn’t have a sister at all!" Kang Li, "I am Mo Yan’s distant relative’s sister. Over a month ago, my brother and I recognized each other. What else do you have to say, comrade?" The middle-aged man was momentarily speechless. Wang Xiaobo, "Let’s start by asking your family members." Saying this, Wang Xiaobo asked a colleague for help, to ride to the middle-aged man’s house for a visit. About twenty minutes later, the police officer returned to the station, followed by the middle-aged man’s wife. "Old Li, what are you doing causing trouble at the station? It was just five dollars missing from your pocket, I took it..." It turned out that the middle-aged man’s widowed sister-in-law, who had come to her parental home yesterday afternoon to borrow money, said she urgently needed at least fifteen dollars. At the time, the middle-aged man wasn’t home, and his wife could only put together ten dollars. She asked her sister-in-law to return to the house the next afternoon, which was today, to try to scrape together another five dollars. The wife didn’t inform her husband about it, and last night before going to bed, she casually went through her husband’s pockets and finding five dollars, she took it. She was too busy this morning to inform her husband about the five dollars before he went to the public bath to shower. Thus, a misunderstanding arose, making the middle-aged man believe his five dollars had been stolen. "Hurry up and apologize to the young man. Honestly, I’m fed up with you. Without any evidence, how could you just report it and have the young man arrested?" The woman slapped her husband’s arm, feeling utterly embarrassed. "Comrade, you also need to go with this officer to my brother’s workplace to explain the situation clearly to his leaders and colleagues; this concerns my brother’s reputation. I hope, comrade, you won’t shirk your responsibility!" Kang Li said, looking directly at the middle-aged man. Before the man could respond, his wife, smiling apologetically, said, "Of course, of course, don’t worry, young lady. I will accompany my husband, and we will clarify everything and restore your brother’s good name." Wang Xiaobo, "Good, I’ll accompany you on the trip."
