Chapter 23 Well then, good luck!
"I really didn't mean to..."
As soon as Xiao Jiu Jiu walked in, she saw the thief crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.
They looked so pitiful.
Little Nine-Nine: ?
I've never seen a grown man cry like that. If you didn't know better, you'd think someone in his family had died.
Coal Ball didn't hold back in his criticism.
Xiao Jiujiu's eyes darted around, finally settling on the backpack on the floor.
The backpack was wide open, and its contents were scattered all over the floor.
Not only were there the ten yuan that had just been stolen, but also wallets of many different styles, and jewelry stolen from who-knows-where.
He looks like a thief who starts stealing things in the middle of the night.
The police officer who had just arrived for work pointed at the things on the ground and said, "Alright, stop crying, stop pretending!"
"Hey, tell me, where did you steal all these things from?" the policeman next to him yawned.
He hadn't eaten his breakfast and was taking notes with a pen in his hand.
Fortunately, the dormitory is not far away.
They rushed over immediately after receiving the report.
The thief stammered, tears welling in his eyes.
They looked so pitiful.
But no one sympathized with him.
The breakfast shop owner scoffed, "The amount you've stolen is almost equal to my annual income, and I work from dawn till dusk."
"You cry, I'll cry too! And you stole my money!"
The shop owner swung his fist at the thief.
The latter immediately behaved itself.
One of the policemen said coldly, "Aren't you going to talk?"
"I……"
The thief hesitated and wouldn't speak.
Xiao Jiu Jiu, who was standing to the side, saw it all very clearly.
The cunning glint in the thief's eyes.
The policeman holding the pen couldn't help but say, "If you confess now, it'll count as you turning yourself in, and you'll suffer less."
If you don't confess honestly, you'll have to stay in the detention center for a few more days.
The main reason was that the thief in front of them looked quite young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Such a young age and already learning bad habits!" the breakfast shop owner complained from the side.
The thief lowered his head and stammered, "My mother is sick, so I wanted to steal some things to sell for money."
"You have hands and feet, what are you doing stealing?" The young man who brought the man in with the boss didn't speak in a friendly tone.
Everyone is struggling, so everyone resorts to stealing.
The thief stammered and muttered in his defense, "I have a low level of education, and I'm often bullied and fired because I'm good at my job."
"I really didn't mean to. I'll return everything, and I'll go look for a job tomorrow, or rather, right now."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to the breakfast shop owner with great sincerity: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have done that."
"I just had a bad thought for a moment, I'm sorry!"
The boss, who was initially quite assertive, is now suddenly less angry.
"You too..."
"He's lying!"
Xiao Jiujiu interrupted the thief's spellcasting.
With a stern face, she walked over and directly exposed the thief: "Your parents' palace is dim, your parents are long dead, and everyone in your family is dead..."
"you……"
The thief was so angry he was almost speechless.
The others were also somewhat surprised.
If this is a curse, it's quite vicious.
Standing in front of the thief, Xiao Jiujiu snorted: "This isn't the first time you've stolen something. You're a repeat offender."
Besides, you're not a child anymore; you're at least thirty.
“You…” The thief looked at Xiao Jiujiu with a distorted expression.
Xiao Jiu Jiu wasn't afraid at all: "I'm not wrong. If you don't believe me, look at his ID card. Go check it out. Don't let him fool you!"
After Xiao Jiu Jiu's reminder.
Everyone looked at the thief, then at the breakfast shop owner.
The breakfast shop owner, seeing that he was up to something, walked over and said, "Thanks to you, little friend, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to catch him."
The two police officers exchanged a glance and began their investigation.
Things turned out exactly as Xiao Jiujiu had predicted.
This person's ID card is fake; all the background information is just an excuse he made up to justify stealing.
He even participated in several underground gambling operations and owed a lot of money.
They had no choice but to steal to make a living.
"You're quite the habitual offender! You're quite the actor!" The questioning officer frowned slightly.
This guy is in his thirties but looks quite young, like he's taken some kind of preservative.
A young policeman who saw his real identity information couldn't help but complain, "Damn, you're so much older than me, but you look so young."
"You're a seasoned pro, you lie without even thinking. I've never seen you around here before." The police officer carefully examined the thief in front of him.
Seeing that his lie had been exposed, the thief drooped his head like a wilted eggplant.
One of the policemen stepped forward and led him away, saying, "Come on, go and spend a few days in jail. You'll have to pay the compensation you owe."
Before leaving, the thief glared fiercely at Xiao Jiu Jiu, his eyes seeming as if he wanted to beat her up.
[Oh my, look at that look! The last time someone had that look, the grass on their grave was already three meters tall.] Coal Ball wagged its tail, looking like it was watching a good show.
Xiao Jiu smiled at him, grinning, "Good luck~"
A wisp of smoke drifted by, and Xiao Jiu Jiu's smile grew even sweeter.
Good luck is impossible; this guy's days are numbered.
"Thank you, little friend!"
The breakfast shop owner squatted down in front of Xiao Jiu Jiu, his rough hand patting her head: "Uncle is treating you to breakfast? What do you want to eat? Beef noodles?"
"If it weren't for you, we would have been fooled by this kid."
No one expected that a thief who forged an ID card and looked young was actually over thirty years old.
"It's alright, I just saw an uneven road and was ready to help you!" Little Jiu Jiu hadn't received any systematic training yet, and some of her phrases were just learned from TV.
Sometimes he says something surprising, and sometimes he talks nonsense.
"Pfft!"
The boss was amused by her: "It's like someone seeing injustice and pulling out their sword to help!"
"You've got a strong sense of justice, little girl. Do you want to be a police officer when you grow up?" The young policeman patted Xiao Jiu Jiu's head.
Little Nine's eyes darted around: "I don't want to be a policeman, I can be a detective!"
She reached out and tugged at the policeman's sleeve, tilted her head back, and asked in a childish voice, "Policeman, is my uncle here? When does he come to work?"
The young policeman was stunned for a moment.
Just then, several police officers arrived for work.
One of them took the breakfast shop owner to get another certificate.
Another person asked cheerfully, "What an adorable little kid! Who's your uncle?"
"My uncle is Qin Yuhai!"
Xiao Jiujiu gestured: "It's that super amazing detective! Just as amazing as Conan!"
He seems to be one of your advisors.
Upon hearing this, all the police officers present were stunned.
Consultant Qin!
That's a nationally renowned criminal investigation consultant.
I was in G city before, but later accepted an invitation from Beijing.
They solved a major case as soon as they arrived in the capital.
He's a legendary figure in the police force!
But, is this little girl Qin's niece?
"It seems I did hear before that Consultant Qin has an older brother!" The young policeman glanced at the adorable Xiao Jiu Jiu.
Another chimed in, "It seems so. His brother also has twins, a boy and a girl. Could this be one of them?"
"Kid, what's your name?"
As the young policeman spoke, he took out his phone to make a call.
Xiao Jiu blinked: "My name is Liu Juanbai, you can just call me Xiao Jiu."
"willow?"
The young policeman was taken aback: "Your uncle's surname is Qin, and yours is Liu?"
"Kids, you can't lie."
"Advisor Qin is known for his coldness. You don't even share his surname, so how can you prove he's his niece?"
"I know, it must be because you all saw the news and thought he was his niece."
The police officers joked.
Xiao Jiu Jiu pouted: "But he is my uncle..."
Seeing Xiao Jiu Jiu's dejected expression, the young policeman decided to make a phone call to inquire.
"Wait a moment, I'll contact Consultant Qin."
As he spoke, he dialed the phone.
After the conversation, the young policeman brought Xiao Jiu a glass of warm water: "Xiao Jiu, please sit here for a while."
"Okay!"
Little Jiu Jiu nodded obediently.
The coal ball sat upright beside her, one paw resting on her hand: "Are you a little nervous?"
"not bad."
Not long after, a black sedan sped up and came to a steady stop in the yard.
The car door opened, and a tall, well-built man in a black trench coat stepped inside.
He has deep-set features, sharp eyes, and looks somewhat similar to Xiao Jiu. He exudes a powerful aura that keeps strangers at bay.
"Uncle!"
Little Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up, and she happily ran over...
