Chapter 166 There are thieves, there are big thieves! (Additional updates with monthly pass)
Regarding Le Miao's reminder, Fang Yan didn't say much and nodded to her:
"Then I understand. I'll put things away when I get back."
The value of this painting has not yet been revealed.
But when it enters the 1980s after the reform, its value will rise rapidly.
Although Fang Yan doesn't understand antiques, he has heard a saying called gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times.
In the future, the social environment will definitely get better and better, and everyone will become richer and richer.
When it was time to get off work, Fang Yan said goodbye to everyone in the store, took the painting and a box of Maotai, and took the bus towards the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street opposite Xiehe.
Very few people saw someone on the bus carrying a box of wine, and besides, it was a box of wine with a special offer on it. Everyone looked at him curiously.
When we arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, Director Feng from the street office hurried over as soon as we arrived at the door of our house.
Fang Yan asked Director Feng:
"Director Feng, are you okay?"
Director Feng looked furious and said to Fang Yan:
"Oh, there's something going on! I've been waiting for you all morning!"
Fang Yan looked her up and down and asked:
"What are you waiting for me for? Are you sick?"
Director Feng was startled, then waved his hand:
"No, I'm healthy! How can you curse someone to get sick like you?"
"Then you are..." Fang Yan looked at her in confusion.
Director Feng pointed to the dialect family courtyard:
"I want you to open the door quickly and take a look at the situation at home."
Then I heard her say:
"You don't know, early this morning, our sub-district office received a report that five households in the Xiehe Villa area on this street were stolen last night. Early this morning, the whole street was fried. I just wanted to check with you about the situation at home. You have a new TV and a bicycle at home. It was seen by so many people yesterday and there is no one at home. This is dangerous.”
Hearing that there were thieves around, Fang Yan quickly put down the wine and paintings he was holding:
"Then I have to take a look quickly."
Director Feng leaned next to him, watched him take out the key and opened the door, urging:
"Yes, hurry up!"
"If you lose something, you have to go to the police station to register it quickly. The thief will definitely be able to catch it if he wants to ship it."
The two of them hurriedly entered the courtyard and then all the way to the main courtyard.
The most valuable thing in the courtyard now is placed in the main hall.
Looking at the door lock in the main hall, Fang Yan knew that everything was fine before he even opened it.
There are no signs of damage on it, and its position has not been moved.
In addition, he glanced at other places in the yard and found no suspicious signs, so he had concluded that there should be no intruders in the house.
Sure enough, when I opened the door, I saw the TV on the coffee table and the bicycle parked on the wall behind the door.
"Look, it's okay." Fang Yan pointed to Director Feng's home.
Director Feng also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it:
"Huh... As long as it's okay, it's okay. Now I'm relieved. The person who stole things shouldn't be someone from our street."
"If you were from this street, your place would probably be visited too."
When Fang Yan heard this, he realized that this was what Director Feng was worried about.
Hearing this, Fang Yan smiled and said:
"That shows that the quality of the neighbors in our street is quite high."
“So many people saw my bike’s TV, but they didn’t have any evil intentions.”
Director Feng shook his head and said:
"Why are you so high-quality? Yesterday, two people were caught stealing on the bus. One of them was caught, and the other ran back. The comrades from the police station asked me to find their information late at night."
"These two unlucky kids can't find a job when they come back, so they can't work as pickpockets in cars... It's really embarrassing for grandma's house, but it's okay. These two people were caught, so we can save a lot of things here. , it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people." As soon as she said these words, Fang Yan had a strong sense of immediacy.
He frowned slightly, feeling that Director Feng's description of the two people sounded so much like the two thieves he met in the car when he went home yesterday afternoon.
"When were they arrested? Where were they arrested?" Fang Yan asked.
Director Feng said:
"Yesterday afternoon, when I was getting off work, one person was caught in the car in Haidian, and then the other one ran home. The police came late at night and caught him."
After speaking, she sighed:
"Hey, the result was unexpected. We just caught it here, and there was another theft case at night."
Then she waved her hand at the dialect:
"Okay, as long as you have nothing to do here, I have to go."
"Okay, then I'll take you out." Fang Yan followed Director Feng and was about to take her out.
When he reached the front yard, Director Feng stopped, turned his head and said to Fang Yan:
"By the way, I suggest that if no one lives here, you might as well raise two dogs. This way, when thieves hear that there are dogs inside, they won't dare to come over."
Fang Yan was startled and asked:
"Dogs? Where are dogs for sale now?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Director Feng responded:
"We have to ask around about this, but usually we go to rural areas where there are many dogs."
Fang Yan thought for a while, then shook his head:
"Forget it, I'll be moving in soon. I'm buying a dog and waiting for me to move in. The dog hasn't grown up yet."
When Director Feng heard this, she stopped forcing it, but she still made a suggestion:
"That's right...then if you don't keep a dog, you'd better leave someone to live here at night, otherwise your things are not safe. Some young people now are so poor that they can do anything."
"Okay, Director Feng, thank you for the reminder." Fang Yan smiled and thanked Director Feng.
Director Feng waved his hand and said nonchalantly:
"Hey, you're welcome, I'm leaving..."
When Director Feng was about to go out, Fang Yan remembered something and hurriedly called her:
"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."
"What's going on?" Director Feng stopped and turned around in confusion.
Fang Yan expressed his plan:
"I want to buy some antique furniture. Do you have any connections?"
After hearing this, Director Feng thought for a moment and said:
"Antique furniture? I don't know much about antiques, but if you want to find some old items, this one can take you to someone's home to have a look, but there is no guarantee that it is authentic..."
Dialect nodded:
"Okay, I'll go find you in the afternoon."
"Okay." After Director Feng agreed, he left Fangyan's courtyard.
Not long after she left, my wife He Huiru and Zhu Lin came together.
The two of them walked quickly with the packed meals in their hands.
As soon as she saw Fang Yan waiting at the door, my mother said to him:
"Fang Yan, I heard that there was a thief in the villa area last night. Are we okay?"
Dialect shook his head:
"It's okay. They are probably thieves from other places. They don't know that people are already living here."
Hearing this, He Huiru and Zhu Lin both breathed a sigh of relief.
My mother said:
"That's good. Things from the home of our department director were stolen. This thief is also very powerful. He stole from five homes without being discovered."
"If you have the ability, why don't you do something..."
At this point she paused, frowned and said:
"But it's strange to say that the director said that the valuable things at home, such as money and food stamps, were not lost at all. Instead, some materials that were sorted and ready to be handed in were stolen, along with the papers he was still writing. Do you think it’s evil or not?”
Fang Yan was startled and blurted out:
"Theft of academic achievements?"
PS: The monthly ticket has increased by 100, so I still owe you 82,000 after finishing this chapter. There will be an update in the afternoon.
