Why did Chapter 26 say everything?
Wait a minute, this isn't something he should say right now.
How come it just slipped out of your mouth?
But it doesn't matter, it's all the same whether we say it sooner or later.
Joan grinned.
The [Truth Talisman] actually works.
Suddenly, Haozi felt a chill. For some reason, he felt that Qiao An didn't seem afraid of him.
Not only were they not afraid, but they looked at him like a cat looking at a mouse.
"Tell me quickly! Where do you get your apples, eggplants, and tomatoes from?"
The mouse made a ferocious expression, which looked rather scary.
"Answer me one question, and I'll tell you."
"Hey! You asked."
As soon as he finished speaking, Haozi almost wanted to slap himself.
Get sick!
She said she wanted to ask, so let her ask?
What's wrong with him?
"The thief gang that the police station has been trying to catch but hasn't been able to is you, right?"
"That's right! It's us!"
The young men in the alley looked at each other, puzzled as to why Haozi answered all their questions.
He looks like an idiot.
I was right!
After overhearing their conversation in the warehouse that day, Qiao An suspected that Haozi and his gang were not only black market bosses, but also a gang of thieves who had been causing trouble in Jinshui Town for a long time.
If she could help Jiang Yushun solve the case of the thief gang, she could then legitimately ask for a tricycle.
"Now it's your turn to tell me, where do you source your fruits and vegetables?"
Mouse also felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly asked Qiao An to divert his brothers' attention.
"The channel is... a gift from the gods." Joanne smiled slyly.
"Damn it! You bitch! You dare to mess with me!"
Enraged, the mouse pulled a bundle of rope from the bag behind it.
"Get her! Tie her up!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"boom!"
A moment later, Joan clapped her hands and exhaled a breath of stale air.
On the ground in the alley, five grown men were bound hand and foot, writhing in pain and occasionally letting out muffled groans.
Qiao An ran out of the alley and found a phone booth to call the police station office.
"Hey? This is Qiao An from the cafeteria! Come quick, everyone to Jiu Mao Hutong! I've caught a thief! Come quick!"
After making the call, Qiao An returned to the alley and waited for the police to arrive.
Jiang Yushun looked at the stack of files with a worried expression.
Sun Weiguo specifically asked him to solve the case of the theft gang in Jinshui Town.
But these people were like eels; even if you caught them, they had no stolen goods on them, and you couldn't get any confessions out of them.
There is simply no evidence to convict them.
If the problem isn't solved before the new year, his tenure as director will probably be over.
Just then, a policeman shouted "Report!" at the door.
"Come in!"
"Chief Jiang, we just received a call from Qiao An, a canteen worker, saying that they caught some thief in Jiu Mao Hutong and asked me to come over now. I'd like to ask you for instructions."
"Jiumao Hutong?"
"right."
"How could a country woman catch a thief?"
Qiao An is a decent cook, but Jiang Yushun doesn't believe she can catch thieves.
"Alright, I'll go with you to check on her. She just started working; let's hope nothing else happens to her."
Jiang Yushun, accompanied by two policemen, rode bicycles to Jiu Mao Hutong.
They walked a few dozen meters further in and heard cries of pleas for mercy.
"Grandma, please let us go! If you let me go, I'll give you money right now, how about 20?"
"30! 30! Is that alright now?"
Qiao An vaguely heard footsteps in the distance and figured it must be the police from the local station.
"This isn't about the money! You're thieves, you're bad people!"
"Although I've never been to school, I know what it means to stand up for what's right and what it means for justice to prevail over evil. Don't even think about bribing me with 30 yuan, or even 300!"
Jiang Yushun could hear Qiao An's voice from afar.
Putting everything else aside, Joan's ideological awareness is truly high.
They arrived at the scene very quickly.
Jiang Yushun looked at the five grown men lying on the ground, then turned his head.
Joan leaned leisurely against the wall, completely unharmed.
"Chiang?"
Jiang Yushun's arrival was completely unexpected by Qiao An; she thought at most two police officers on duty would come.
"What...what's going on?"
"Chief Jiang, they're thieves! I saw them stealing things at the market just now!" Qiao An pointed at the rat.
Jiang Yushun looked down.
"A mouse?"
The rat was a familiar face to the police station; every time they caught it, they would release it shortly afterward.
Their theft gang had a clear division of labor, worked together seamlessly, and was incredibly cunning.
Jiang Yushun felt a tightness in his chest every time he saw a mouse.
"Hehe, Chief Jiang."
Haozi grinned at Jiang Yushun, then bitterly recounted how Qiao An had assaulted him.
"Chief Jiang, you have to stand up for us! This little wench hit us! Hitting someone is against the law!"
Jiang Yushun clenched his back teeth.
Putting aside how Joan managed to beat five grown men, she was right to say they were thieves.
But knowing this is useless; you need evidence to solve a case!
"What are you doing! Tell me quickly! Are you thieves or not?" Qiao An asked before Jiang Yushun could.
"We are thieves."
The mouse was momentarily stunned, its entire body frozen in place.
What? Why did you say it again?
Jiang Yushun's eyes widened instantly. He squatted down and grabbed the rat by the collar. "Say that again!"
Mouse pursed her lips and turned her head away from him.
"Were you five stealing something at the market just now?!"
"Yes! We're stealing wallets."
"Where's the stolen wallet?"
"It's hidden behind a trash can in the middle of Jianshe Street."
How many people are in your gang?
"Eight."
"Where did the stolen goods go?"
"In the wooden closet in my bedroom."
The mouse was taken aback by the question.
The other four underlings were also quite shocked.
What's wrong with me today? Is Brother Mouse possessed?
He answered whatever the woman asked.
If they keep talking, they'll probably reveal even the color of their underwear.
Jiang Yushun wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
Even the mice have been abandoned!
He hasn't asked a single question yet!
"Xiao Liang, quickly check the trash cans on Jianshe Street for any stolen goods!"
"yes!"
Xiao Liang steadied his hat, then took off running.
Mouse pursed his lips tightly, not daring to look up at Qiao An.
He was sweating profusely, and his undershirt was soaked.
Why is it that whenever Joanne asks him a question, he can't help but tell the truth?
That's really weird.
What should we do now?
If the theft charge is proven, he'll have to go to jail.
A few minutes later, Xiao Liang came running over, panting.
He was also holding four wallets in his hand.
"Chief Jiang! There really is a wallet!"
It took Jiang Yushun less than a second for his expression to go from tense to relaxed.
"Okay, okay!"
"Rat, let's see how you get away with this!"
"Xiao Liang, go notify the station to come and arrest him!"
"yes!"
Haozi and his friends were taken away by the police.
Qiao An pushed her bicycle and walked out of the alley with Jiang Yushun.
"Xiao Qiao, how did you, a woman, manage to hold back five grown men?"
Qiao An scratched her head sheepishly, "Director Jiang, please don't laugh at me if I tell you."
"What's so funny about that? Tell me."
"When I was a child, my family was poor. My parents thought I ate too much, so they took me to the mountains and abandoned me. An old Taoist priest in the mountains picked me up and raised me for several years."
"He taught me a lot of kung fu during those years. After he died, I went down the mountain and went home."
Qiao An was telling the truth; the original owner's adoptive parents were the younger siblings of the servants in Mu Linjiang's family.
He already harbored resentment towards Qiao An, so during the famine, he simply abandoned her.
She was indeed taken back by the Taoist priest and raised for several years.
But teaching kung fu is pure nonsense.
Anyway, the Taoist priest has passed away, so there's no way to verify the truth.
