Bab 52: Stealing

"There is no need to report the case. Even if we do, we won't know when they will arrive. Let's investigate the village first. One household at a time. I don't believe we can't find the thief!"

"I agree with the chief," the villagers responded. 

The village chief pulled Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan who was kneeling on the ground up and continued, "Jiang Chuan, your family should follow me and identify which house has your things."

Jiang Chuan nodded. 

They started from the house nearest to Jiang Chuan's house. Since all the houses were similar, they could tell if there was anything from their house just with a glance. Besides, Jiang Xia already had a suspect in mind. 

There were only two families that had a grudge against her family. One was the Jiang family, and the other was the Sun family.

The chief has the same thoughts but in order to be fair, he had to go through all the houses to prove the innocence of the other villagers.
