Chapter 1145 Search (1)
After searching the captain’s house, the whole village and the captain searched the homes of all the cadres in the village again, but no sweet potatoes were found, so the captain led the whole village to start a house-to-house search from the beginning of the village.
After more than four hours of searching, two-thirds of the houses in the village have been successfully searched, but no sweet potatoes were found. People in the village gradually began to suspect that outsiders had come to steal the sweet potatoes from their village.
"Everyone work harder, we can search everyone's homes in two hours." The captain said to everyone.
"Captain, do you think someone from outside came to steal the sweet potatoes from our village?" Liu Jianshu asked the captain.
"No, because the sweet potatoes on the two-acre field are not so easy to transport away. Although the sweet potatoes are still small now, they can't hold up to a large amount, and there are no marks of wheels beside the sweet potato fields, which proves that the sweet potatoes were not transported by cars. Instead, they were carried away by someone, so it is basically certain that the person who stole the sweet potatoes was from the village."
Everyone in the village was furious when they heard what the captain said, so they all said to the captain: "Captain, please lead us to continue the search. Today we must find out the moths in the village."
"Okay, I will take you to continue the search."
"Master Xiao, wait a minute." Er Shunzi whispered after pulling Lu Xiaoxiao's clothes.
"What's wrong?"
“My mother said she saw a small bag of sweet potatoes in my backyard.”
After hearing Er Shunzi's words, Lu Xiaoxiao's face immediately became serious, and then she said to Er Shunzi, "Are you sure there is only a small bag of sweet potatoes?"
"Sure, my mother said that the weight of sweet potatoes will never exceed fifty catties."
"Just pretend nothing happened, and continue to follow the team to search the house."
"No, if my house is searched in a while, then my house will become a thief stealing sweet potatoes." Er Shunzi said anxiously after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"Don't worry, that bag of sweet potatoes only proves that someone framed your family, and it will definitely not turn your family into a thief."
"Really?"
"Um."
Half an hour later, the team leader searched Er Shunzi's house. He brought someone into Er Shunzi's house and came out with a bag of sweet potatoes shortly after. Then he asked Er Shunzi, "Er Shunzi, explain What's going on with this bag of sweet potatoes?"
"Captain, what sweet potato? Where did you find the sweet potato?" Er Shunzi said after hearing what the captain said.
"It's in your backyard. The sweet potatoes in the bag are about the same size as the sweet potatoes that were dug up at the entrance of the village."
"Okay, I didn't expect you to be the thief who stole the sweet potatoes." Liu Jianshu rushed forward and pointed at Er Shunzi.
After hearing Liu Jianshu's words, the people in the village looked at the bag of sweet potatoes that the captain had brought out. There was something they didn't understand, so they immediately scolded Er Shunzi, and even more excitedly picked up the bag of sweet potatoes on the ground. The clod of mud hit Er Shunzi.
"Stop beating, stop beating, my Er Shunzi didn't steal the sweet potatoes, he won't steal the sweet potatoes." When Huang Xiaoya saw Er Shunzi was hit on the head by the mud, she immediately yelled. He stood in front of Er Shunzi.
"Huang Xiaoya, now that the evidence is conclusive, you say that Er Shunzi didn't steal the sweet potatoes, do you think we will believe it?" Liu Gang, who just hit Er Shunzi with mud, said.
"My Er Shunzi really didn't steal sweet potatoes. He was taking care of Liu Gouzi who had a fever yesterday morning. He would never steal sweet potatoes."
