You carefully watch the paths you pass, afraid that any of them will reveal their secrets.

"Don't worry, no big guys will come out."

The older villagers saw Gu Ye and Gu Mu staring at their surroundings nervously and said something comforting.

I didn't think of the two of them as fish thieves at all, I just thought they were young people who were timid.

Gu Ye pursed his lips and said nothing, while Gu Mu smiled genuinely.

"Uncle is right. My second brother and I usually stay outside and have never been in. I'm a little curious."

The uncle nodded and followed.

The uncle is just older in generation, in his thirties, and very strong.

In a few seconds, he disappeared.

Gu Ye took a few steps and suddenly his expression changed.

Gu Mu sensed it and approached Gu Ye cautiously with a questioning look in his eyes.

Gu Ye signaled with his eyes, and when he looked over, he saw a piece of cloth hanging on the thorns.

A layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

It’s obvious that the fabric belongs to my second sister-in-law. What should I do?

"Old Three, you go first, I'm going to go to the bathroom."

Gu Ye spoke a little loudly.

The people walking in front listened.

"Don't go too far, we are all grown men, just turn your back and we'll be done."

The uncle spoke again and Gu Ye nodded.

"It's better to carry some on your back."

He walked forward a few steps and stood there with his back turned. Everyone glanced at him but didn't pay much attention.

Gu Mu looked at the crowd, always alert, and Gu Ye quickly put away the cloth strips.

Afraid of people's suspicion, he opened the water.

Then he jumped back to the team and walked more than ten steps to the edge of the pond.

Everyone only saw that the grass beside the pond was pressed down, but could not see a complete set of footprints.

How to check this?

"Captain Jiang, what should we do? Call the police?"

The villagers couldn't tell how many fish were missing, but they were sure that the fish had been stolen.

I feel so sorry for them all!

This is collective property, who the hell stole it?

The angriest person among them was the team leader.

He was still counting on this pond of fish to pay tribute to his superiors! Otherwise, he might not be the captain next year.

"Find it. We must find it."

Captain Jiang spoke in a deep voice.

The villagers nodded in unison, determined to find it.

But after searching everywhere, there was nothing.

"Captain, why don't you contact the police?"

The villagers suggested this, but the team leader shook his head.

That won't work. If he calls the police, where will he save face? If the news gets out, he'll be laughed to death by people in the next village.

"Let's go back and search every house. I don't believe we can find any clues."

This is the only way at the moment.

Gu Ye and Gu Mu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they couldn't find it here, the things at home that were exposed would be even harder to find.

The group returned empty-handed. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Jiang Le was the first to jump out.

"Dad, have you found any clues?"

While speaking, he glanced in Susan's direction several times.

Captain Jiang shook his head.

"No."

These two words made Jiang Le's face darken a little.

But she didn't give up.

"Dad, everyone who went fishing this morning was disgusted. Maybe they were covering up something."

As soon as these words were spoken, Captain Jiang's eyes lit up.

But among the people present, a few had dark faces.

There were many people fishing in the morning, and most of them caught some fish.

After hearing this, those who didn’t have a turn in the morning came to the river to cast two nets at noon.

"Jiang girl, don't say that. My son went fishing this morning. He didn't steal any fish."

The few people who didn't know that Jiang Le and Susan were arguing just now couldn't help but refute with a dark face when they heard what Jiang Le said.

Jiang Le glanced at Gu Ye and Gu Mu.

Their faces were a little dark, and they looked at her with unfriendly eyes.

She swallowed.

"Dad, this is a big deal, we can't be careless."

Captain Jiang hesitated.

"Gather all the families who fished by the river this morning, and bring their fishing nets."

Captain Jiang spoke, and the fishermen went home with gloomy faces. When they passed by Jiang Le, they glared at her unfriendlyly.

She turned around and left. Gu Ye and Gu Mu walked home, and Susan and the others followed them. As soon as they entered the house, Old Lady Wang opened the door and walked out.

"What's going on in the middle of the day?"

When Zhu Yue'e saw Old Lady Wang and thought of how she had protected Jiang Le during breakfast, she felt happy.

"Mom, you don't know that the fish in the village were stolen. Jiang Le said that our family is the most suspicious and asked the captain to search us! Tsk tsk, I didn't expect your fourth daughter-in-law to be so nice. She always cares about our family, whether good or bad!"

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Yue'e would not dare to speak to Old Lady Wang in such a sarcastic manner.

But after eating a fish at noon, she knew that the second and third families were on her side, so she straightened her back and felt that she was fine again.

Old Mrs. Wang widened her eyes, thinking she had misheard.

"What did you say? Jiang Le said our family stole fish?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Lady Wang's face turned dark. If they were really accused of stealing fish, their whole family would be doomed.

"Mom, that's what they said. If you don't believe it, ask around in the village. Everyone is listening!"

Zhu Yue'e muttered something, but Old Lady Wang didn't dare to stay any longer.

I followed him quickly.

Zhu Yue'e originally wanted to take a rest, but now she couldn't sleep any more, so she quickly followed him.

Gu Rong also followed, she wanted to go to the theater!

Susan and Mubai looked at each other.

Watching Gu Ye and Gu Bai take out the fishing net.

Walk towards the village entrance.

The two of them caught up again.

Before I got there, I heard the loud voice of Old Lady Wang.

"Captain, what's going on? My Gu family is honest and we didn't steal any fish. Lele is young and she got angry because we didn't have fish to eat. I'll make it up to her later, but you can't smear us like this!"

Old Lady Wang's voice was sharp and stern.

The second half of the sentence should have been a reminder from Zhu Yue'e.

At this moment, as soon as Old Lady Wang said this, the family that Jiang Le had just asked to go home to get the fishing net.

He took over the conversation with a dark face.

"You kid, if you want to eat fish, just say so. You're wrongly accusing someone just for a bite of food. I don't know what the captain taught you."

The villagers didn't give him any face and started to criticize him.

Jiang Le's eyes were watery. Her thoughts were spoken out and she wanted to refute.

I want to throw a tantrum, but one mouth can't win over ten or twenty others.

With red eyes, she huddled behind Captain Jiang.

He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Old Mrs. Wang continued to speak.

Captain Jiang frowned and scolded.

"That's enough. Now find the fish thief first."

Captain Jiang had a dark face, and everyone was still a little scared.

There was silence in an instant.

But everyone was dissatisfied with Jiang Le. He didn't solve the important issues and just caused trouble for others.

Families with fishing nets were quickly gathered together.

The captain swept through the fishing nets of everyone in the field one by one.

Some are broken, some are good.

The good ones were picked out.

Leaving a few broken ones.

"Tell me the truth, did you steal the fish?"

Captain Jiang walked around with his hands behind his back.

Gu Ye looked at the fishing net he had mended overnight after returning from last night.

I feel a little complicated.
