Chapter 24

The two of them arrived at the Public Security Bureau. Geng Ailing had forgotten her fear because she was eager to get her money back. She pulled Fan Hua and walked in aggressively, not noticing that there was only one person in the entire Public Security Bureau today and it was a little too quiet!

“Comrade, I want to report a case. A thief stole our money. This is what the thief looks like!” Geng Ailing said loudly.

A man who was sitting in an armchair and drinking water from an enamel pot raised his eyes and looked at the two of them casually.

The man seemed to be in his thirties, tall, with strong features and a decent appearance. Although he was not very old, the way he drank water from the enamel pot seemed a bit arrogant. This man was Xie Yongliang, the director of the Yangcheng Wusi Road Public Security Bureau.

He looked at the two men for a moment before sitting up straight, taking out a pen and paper, and began to inquire about the case in a businesslike manner, writing down details as he asked.

“…Comrade Public Security, this is the man who hit my sister and stole her money, a total of 103 yuan! My sister is pregnant, and luckily I supported her in time, otherwise it would be troublesome! This man is so hateful, you must help us get the money back!”

Geng Ailing said this angrily, and did not forget to show Xie Yongliang the sketch of the portrait in Fan Hua’s hand.

Fan Hua couldn’t get a word in at the side and had to let Geng Ailing do the talking the whole time.

Xie Yongliang looked at the sketch that Geng Ailing handed over, and his eyes lit up instantly, “Who drew this?”

“This was drawn by my sister. She is very good at drawing. She can draw a person exactly like me just by listening to my description!”

“Didn’t the thief bump into this comrade?” Xie Yongliang pointed at Fan Hua and asked Geng Ailing, “Why does she need you to describe the thief’s appearance?”

“My sister was thinking about something at the time and didn’t notice the thief, but I saw him clearly. It’s also my fault that I didn’t realize that the man was a thief. I was just thinking about holding my sister and not letting her fall. Otherwise, I would have to catch the thief and he wouldn’t have gotten away!”

Xie Yongliang found Geng Ailing’s angry look somewhat amusing. This female comrade was quite interesting.

His expression softened a bit, and he asked, “Comrades, I have basically understood the situation. Please leave this portrait in the bureau first. I will arrange for someone to investigate after the comrades in the bureau return from their mission. Please leave your contact address. If the money can be found, we will contact you as soon as possible.”

“Comrade Public Security, can you send someone as soon as possible…”

Fan Hua directly stopped Geng Ailing and stopped her from continuing to speak. She guessed that the situation at the Public Security Bureau today must be an important task, and it would be useless to say more.

Fan Hua neatly wrote down her current address on a piece of paper and said gratefully, “We got it. Thank you, Public Security Comrades!”

Just as the two were about to get up and leave, a little girl of about six or seven years old ran in. She ran to Xie Yongliang and pouted and asked, “Dad, I went to the hospital to look for you after school just now but couldn’t find you. Why didn’t you stay in the hospital and come here again? I made a wasted trip!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she asked again in confusion, “Hey, where are the other police officers?”

Xie Yongliang took the girl’s schoolbag and said with a smile, “Niannian, the uncles are busy with something.”

“Then how did you get here? Is your leg okay?” the girl named Nian Nian asked again.

Xie Yongliang pointed to the crutch beside him and said, “Dad has a magical secret weapon!”

Niannian turned to look at the cane, glanced at the sketched portrait on the table, paused for a moment, and asked in confusion: “Dad, who drew this of Yueyue’s brother? The drawing is so like him!”
