Tao Jingxuan sarcastically said: "Is half a million a year a lot of money? Rich people are still sneaking around. Hmph...I've seen a lot of people like him."

Wang Jianming pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Sometimes speaking harsh words may not have the desired effect.

He secretly made up his mind: when this matter is settled, he must give this young couple some color.

Hu Pingtao turned to Liu Yu and asked: "Remember carefully, when you were in the cinema, this wallet was handed to you by your boyfriend, right?"

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes."

Hu Pingtao's next words are very meaningful: "Did your boyfriend take anything from his wallet at that time? Or, did he make similar actions?"

Hearing this, Tao Jingxuan's expression suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"

Hu Pingtao glanced at him: "This is a normal understanding of the situation. Why are you anxious?"

Next to him, Zhang Xiaoru quickly interjected: "Officer, when you said this, I remembered--at that time, he took his wallet and rummaged through it, and it seemed that he took something out of it. But the light was very dark, so I couldn't see clearly.

"

Tao Jingxuan's expression had become extremely flustered. He raised his hand and scolded Zhang Xiaoru angrily: "Hey, I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense! What did I take? I handed the wallet to my girlfriend at that time, I... I didn't take anything.

…How do I get it?”

Zhang Xiaoru replied unhappily: "How can a grown man be so petty? I didn't say anything nonsense! I did see you take something out of your wallet, but it was very dark around and I didn't see it clearly."

"Wait, wait a minute." Hearing this, Liu Yu suddenly shouted: "I remembered it. My money... wallet..."

As she said that, she looked down at the wallet in her hand, looking a little confused: "After I bought the clothes, there happened to be a beauty store next to it. I took a fancy to a set of cosmetics there, mainly a beautiful lipstick, which came in more than a dozen colors.

One set is exactly one thousand eight hundred."

Hu Pingtao looked at her thoughtfully: "So...the money was not lost?"

"No, it's not like that!" Liu Yu shook her head quickly: "The set I was looking at in the store was a sample, and it was no longer in stock. Because I liked it very much, so I just thought of a sample! It can be used anyway. But

The shop owner said that the set of lipsticks had already been opened and had been tried by customers, so it could not be sold. She asked me to wait two days for the new products to arrive. Then I left a phone number and asked her to notify me when the products arrive."

"I thought I just had this amount of money in my hand, so I counted out one thousand and eighty and stuffed it into the pocket on the side of my wallet."

As she spoke, she tapped the side of her purse with her finger.

This is a fabric wallet. The opening is at the top, and the fabric on both sides is very smooth. It is a multi-layer stacked design. The layers slope downwards in sequence, just like the roofs of old houses in the village, with tiles stacked one on top of the other. If not

Without opening the oblique side, it is difficult to find that there is a clip pocket outside the wallet.

Liu Yu opened the zipper and found that the pocket was empty.

"I remember very clearly that I just put the money in this bag." Liu Yu raised her head, looked at Tao Jingxuan with suspicious eyes, and asked uncertainly: "Did you take my money?"

"No!" Tao Jingxuan's eyes flashed with panic, but he said extremely firmly: "How could I take your money? What are you thinking?"

Liu Yudao: "The money was still there when you went shopping with me, and you were right next to me when I went to the beauty store to order."

"Also, when I bought movie tickets today, I paid with my mobile phone and never used the cash in my bag."

Wang Jianming interjected: "I also remembered it. When I picked up the wallet, I felt it was tight when I held it, but when I opened it, there were only documents and a few hundred dollars inside. At that time, I thought that the wallet was designed like this. The outer layer

A very solid one.”

Tao Jingxuan shouted angrily: "You obviously took the money, and now you are still saying such things."

He immediately grabbed Liu Yu's hand and tried to argue: "Don't listen to their nonsense. You are my girlfriend, how could I take your money?"

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao already felt confident.

He took the wallet from Liu Yu's hand, turned to hand it to Long Xu, and deliberately shouted loudly: "Put this away, this is evidence."

Turning around, he said to Liu Yu seriously: "Don't worry, this matter is not difficult to check. As long as you touch the wallet, you will leave fingerprints. I think the pocket on the wallet is very secretive and the zipper is very tight. Wait.

Let’s go back and use technical means to check and compare fingerprints to know who did it.”

Hu Pingtao deliberately asked Liu Yu: "You usually carry your wallet yourself, right? Have you ever given it to anyone else?"

Liu Yu shook her head: "No... never."

Hu Pingtao turned to Wang Jianming: "What about you? When you picked up the wallet, did you open the wallet?"

Wang Jianming quickly shook his head: "When I picked up the wallet from the ground, the movie was about to start. I just opened it and looked at it. Besides, I didn't know there was such a design as a pocket, so I didn't touch it at all."

Hu Pingtao moved his eyes away from Wang Jianming, stared at Tao Jingxuan who was standing at a loss, and said meaningfully: "Haha... some things are really caused by himself."

Tao Jingxuan's face turned pale: "What do you mean?"

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "There are two ways to deal with this matter."

"First, you negotiate among yourselves in private." Hu Pingtao raised his finger and pointed at Wang Jianming, then turned to Liu Yu and said: "When someone picked up the wallet and returned it to you, you not only didn't thank them, but also insisted that they took it.

Your money... Haha, actually this matter will be very clear if you think about it for a little bit... It's true."

Liu Yu also probably understood. She lowered her head, sulking to herself, and said nothing.

Hu Pingtao learned: "The second option is to follow us back to the police station."

Liu Yu raised her head and asked in confusion: "I can't explain it here, so what can I do if I go to the police station?"

Hu Pingtao explained patiently: "The money you lost is cash. It can't grow wings and fly by itself, right? As long as there is any doubt about the eucalyptus, we have the right to search you. When the time comes, we will take out everything you have on you."

, check it out, and everything will be clear."

Wang Jianming laughed when he heard this: "Okay! This is a good idea. I support it!"

Hu Pingtao still looked at Liu Yu: "If you think about it, now people use their mobile phones to scan QR codes to transfer money. I'm not saying that no one uses cash, but it is very rare to carry one or two thousand yuan. Not to mention

It's because you have a pocket on the outside of your wallet. Calculate the time yourself. From the time you finish watching the movie to the time you find out your wallet is lost, it doesn't even take an hour to go back and forth. Even if someone does take your money, where can they hide it?

go?"

Tao Jingxuan became anxious, grabbed Liu Yu's arm and shook it hard: "Xiaoyu, don't listen to him. It was the man named Wang who stole your money, and the police are on the same side with him."

Long Xu stood beside him and shook his head: "How can you speak like this? I think there is something wrong with your brain. Even at this time, you still say such things."

Hu Pingtao sneered and said, "Let him say whatever he wants. Anyway, the facts are in front of us, and they cannot be true or false."

He then pointed at Tao Jingxuan: "I'm warning you, before things get too serious, there is still room for relief. If you go to the police station to solve the problem and find the money from you, the nature will be different."

"That's theft, understand?"

"Once it is verified, you will be detained for at least fifteen days. When you enter the detention center, I'm afraid you won't even have time to cry."

Tao Jingxuan was shocked and angry, and his words became stammering: "I...I have money on me...that's my money."

"Then take out all the cash you have and count it." Hu Pingtao was very calm, and there was a bit of gambling in it: "Don't tell me that the cash in your pocket is not too much or too little, but there is exactly one

One thousand eight hundred yuan, and they are all priced at one hundred yuan a piece."

Tao Jingxuan was trembling all over and could not speak a word.

Falling in love costs money.

Liu Yu's family is well off. Her father works as a mid-level cadre in a public institution and her mother has a pension. Although Liu Yu has a job, the couple often subsidize their daughter, each time giving them several thousand or ten thousand.

Although Tao Jingxuan has a job and a monthly salary of more than 5,000, it is definitely enough for him. But if he is in love, he will be a little stretched.

He is not a local and does not have a house in the provincial capital. Although he has a good relationship with Liu Yu, Tao Jingxuan always has an indescribable sense of crisis.

He liked Liu Yu and made up his mind to marry her.

Getting married is not as simple as just talking, you must at least have a house of your own.

Most young people nowadays rent houses, which Tao Jingxuan sneers at. Although he himself also rents a house, in his opinion, this kind of thing is not long-term.

When he just graduated from college, he had the experience of being evicted by his landlord. In fact, strictly speaking, it was not an eviction in the true sense, because when the lease period was up, the landlord wanted to take the house back and use it for other purposes, but Tao Jingxuan felt that he couldn't accept it.

———— He was renting an apartment at the time. He liked the small house very much and put a lot of thought into arranging various furniture and small objects. He once thought that as long as he lived for a long time and got familiar with the landlord, he would be able to

Buy the house at a cheaper price.

We had talked about it, but the two sides had great differences on the price issue. The landlord wanted 650,000 yuan, but Tao Jingxuan could only give 300,000 yuan, so the talks collapsed.

In fact, the landlord did not ask for a high price. The average price of a house in that area is about 12,000. The transaction price of second-hand houses of the same apartment is generally around 700,000 to 750,000. The landlord is also very considerate to Tao Jingxuan. 650,000 is really not much.

want.

In the words of the landlord: 300,000 yuan is impossible. If 300,000 yuan can really buy a house of the same type and location, he will ask for as many houses as he wants.

To Tao Jingxuan, this incident was a great shame.

He hated his landlord, who believed that he looked down upon him and refused to extend the rent after the lease expired. He was forced to find another apartment and spent several hundred on moving expenses alone.

Tao Jingxuan's family's financial situation is not good. His parents are farmers, and his mother has chronic diseases and needs to take medicine regularly. He also has an older brother. When he got married, the family scraped together more than 80,000 yuan. Finally, he got married, and now his family

Although he was extremely poor, if Tao Jingxuan proposed marriage, his parents could give him a few thousand yuan at most.

A drop in the bucket!

Liu Yu has never disliked Tao Jingxuan in this regard, but he is a man after all and has his own dignity when it comes to money.

When you fall in love, you must go on a date, go shopping and drink milk tea, and have a meal at noon or evening. Let’s not say whether Tao Jingxuan can afford to buy the things Liu Yu likes, just milk tea, meal money, snacks, and small gifts during the New Year, let him

I feel a lot of pressure.

Women all like romance.
