Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

After hearing the old lady say there was a thief in the car, Liu Jingxue asked curiously, "Whose things were stolen, and who do you suspect is the thief?"

The old lady pointed at the auntie and said, “The woman found that her wallet was missing and shouted to catch the thief.

The man in work clothes nearby said that he saw the young man following the woman stealthily, and he suspected that the young man had stolen the woman's wallet.

The young man didn't admit that he stole anything, and the others were arguing about it."

At this time, Liu Jingxue heard the young man defending herself.

“I didn’t steal anything.

Before you came, auntie, I was standing here, without moving, and I didn't follow you secretly.

The person standing next to me can testify to this.”

The young man pulled over an old man to testify for him, "Uncle, please help me say something. Have I been standing here with you without moving?"

The uncle nodded and said, “I can prove this.

This young man has been standing here since he got on the bus a few stops ago, and he has not moved."

The young man immediately perked up after hearing this and said to the aunt,

"Auntie, you heard it too, I didn't follow you.

Instead, you kept squeezing in this direction, from the door all the way here."

The aunt said, “You were standing next to me, and my wallet was lost, who else could have stolen it except you.

Could it be this worker again?

People are getting paid for their jobs, so why would they do such despicable things?

On the contrary, you don't look like a good person.

At first glance, he is a country bumpkin. He has no money, so he has to go to the city to start a sideline business and become a laborer."

"What's wrong with a peasant? A peasant must be a bad person and will steal your wallet.

You might have lost your wallet before you got on the bus.

I lost something outside, but I came to the car to look for it."

“I even took money out of my wallet to buy the ticket after I got on the bus.

My wallet was lost in the car, and you must have stolen it."

The worker said, "Young man, if you took someone's things, just give them back immediately and don't try to make excuses."

The young man said anxiously, "I already said that I didn't steal her wallet."

The aunt said, "If you say you didn't steal, then you didn't steal. Do you dare to let someone search you and see if they can find any money on you?"

"Does the money I have belong to you? I can't have money myself."

"How much money can a peasant like you have? Even if you have some, it must have come from an illegal source. You either stole it from me or someone else."

The young man said angrily, "Why do you look down on farmers? You are provoking class conflicts."

The auntie didn't dare to take the blame for provoking class conflicts, so she quickly said, "I don't look down on farmers, I just want you to hand over the money you stole from me."

"There were so many people in the car, why did you insist that I stole your money and not someone else.

It's because you have a prejudice against farmers and think that only farmers will steal your money."

"My money must have been stolen by someone close to me. How could others do it?"

“You passed a lot of people along the way, maybe it was stolen at that time.

And I'm not the only one next to you." The young man looked at the worker with suspicion.

"You have been drawing Auntie's attention to me. You stole her money, and now you are slandering me."

Hearing what the young man said, the aunt couldn't help but look at the worker next to her.

After hearing what the young man said, she began to suspect that the worker had ulterior motives.

She was not sure that it was the young man who stole her money before, but it was the worker who kept talking about her that made her suspect the young man.

Could it be true, as the young man said, that the worker stole her money?

When the worker saw the aunt's suspicious look, he felt nervous and quickly denied it, "Sister, I have a job and earn more than 30 yuan a month. How could I do such a thing?"

“If you have a job, you won’t steal from others.

Besides, it’s working hours now, people with jobs are working, they don’t want to run around everywhere.” The young man said bluntly,

"You wouldn't deliberately wear work clothes to steal people's things outside, and then use the work clothes to make people believe that you are a good person to excuse yourself, right?"

The young man's sharp words made Liu Jingxue look at him with admiration.

It seems that you can't judge a person by his appearance. Even a person who looks honest and tongue-tied can say such things.

The worker said angrily, "You are the one who pretends to be stupid and does all kinds of sneaky things outside.

If you have nothing to hide, why don't you let someone search you to see if you have any money on you."

“Why should I be searched if I didn’t steal anything?

Aren't you also a suspect? Why don't you let someone search you first to prove your innocence?"

“I am a worker, can I allow myself to be searched casually?

That’s an insult to me and an insult to our factory.”

"Workers can't be searched at will, but farmers can. Do you look down on farmers?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't look down on farmers."

The three began to quarrel again.

"Tuanzi, weren't you watching the situation over there just now? Do you know who stole the money from that auntie?"

"It was the worker. The lady's wallet was still in his trouser pocket."

Liu Jingxue was shocked. It was really like the thief crying "stop thief".

"Then why didn't the young man want to be searched and prove his innocence?"

"Master, that young man hid a lot of money on him, several hundred yuan. He also hid a small jade Buddha statue."

Liu Jingxue now understood why the young man refused to be searched.

If the money was found, he would be criticized for not being able to get so much money as a farmer.

It is estimated that the money did not come from a legitimate source. If he had a legitimate reason, he would not have dared to be searched.

Liu Jingxue suspected that the money was most likely obtained through speculation.

Not to mention Buddha statues, which were feudal dregs in this era. Anyone who kept one would be criticized once discovered.

This is a problem of this era, and it doesn't mean that the young man is a bad person.

Thinking about the future fate of her uncle's family, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the young man.

"Tuanzi, your master is not a pushover, but he can't just watch others suffer.

Do you have any way to make that lady's wallet appear from that man's trouser pocket?"

"Master, this is easy. Tuanzi can do it."

Liu Jingxue stared at the worker's right trouser pocket, and after a while, she found that something had appeared on the edge of the pocket.

"Tuanzi, is there any special mark on the wallet?"

“There’s a red five-pointed star and a red string to tie the pocket tightly.

By the way, there is a word "Lan" embroidered on the wallet."

Liu Jingxue thought for a moment and told Tuanzi, "Tuanzi, move the wallet so that the red star and the red string are exposed."

After a while, Liu Jingxue discovered that a red rope and a red five-pointed star were exposed from the worker's trouser pocket.
