Chapter 153: Chapter 143: Beaten to Death_3
However, if it was really her who did it, at this moment, there is no eyewitness, and to let her go just like that, no one would be willing.
Everyone was seen with grim faces, and Mrs. Fu instantly became smug.
She knew that as long as she denied it, claiming it wasn’t her doing, no one could do anything about it since there was no eyewitness.
Mrs. Fu instantly returned to her original haughty demeanor.
The police officer frowned at her without speaking, directly taking the pair of shoes she had just taken off and running to the window ledge, comparing that shoe with the footprints on the ledge.
All eyes were fixed on the police officer’s actions.
Mrs. Fu took a deep breath, sweating nervously, her heart anxious beyond measure.
If, by any chance, the footprint really matched in a moment, even if she didn’t admit it, the police would take her back to the station for questioning.
After about a minute or so, everyone gathered by the window, staring at the movements in the police officer’s hands.
The shoe Mrs. Fu had taken off happened to exactly match the footprint on the window ledge.
Not out of place at all.
Those who had been accusing Mrs. Fu immediately clapped their hands, "Now the evidence is conclusive, let’s see how you deny it!"
The police officer, looking serious, said to Mrs. Fu:
"Do you have anything you want to explain to everyone?"
"The footprint on the window ledge is exactly the same as the pattern under the shoe you just took off."
"Even the shoe size matches extremely well."
"The soil on top is also identical."
"So tell us, where have you hidden the stolen items?"
"The amount involved is too large, if you confess now and cooperate with our investigation, there may be a chance for leniency."
At this moment, Mrs. Fu wanted to argue for herself but didn’t know what to say.
Just as she was struggling internally about how to respond.
Suddenly, someone else came in from outside.
It happened to be Mrs. Fu’s arch-enemy.
Normally, the two of them couldn’t stand each other, always at each other’s throats, wishing the other would drop dead immediately.
At this moment, seeing trouble in the Fu Family’s house, naturally, she came to see the commotion.
Originally, Mrs. Fu’s arch-enemy was curious because there was a police car parked at the Fu Family’s gate, which clearly indicated something significant was happening, so she hurried over to take a look.
This was quite normal; after all, quite a few villagers had gathered in the courtyard to watch the excitement.
After all, a police car at a family home was major news within the ten-mile radius.
Upon entering the courtyard, she heard what the people were saying, claiming that Mrs. Fu mentioned there was no eyewitness, which was quite convenient.
After hearing the police and those villagers’ words, Mrs. Fu’s arch-enemy immediately stepped forward to inquire,
"Oh dear, I’m really late for the show, why is it so lively in this courtyard, what on earth happened?"
"Who are you saying had things stolen, was the Fu family burglarized, this thief sure knows how to steal!"
Since she just arrived and didn’t know what was happening, she casually grabbed a villager to ask about who committed the crime or what was going on.
Then she heard the villager whispering to her:
"Isn’t it Fu Yu’s wife who lost several very expensive dresses?"
"Her parents bought them for her; they’re said to cost six to seven hundred yuan. After the dresses were stolen, his wife panicked and immediately called the police."
After listening to the villager, Mrs. Fu’s arch-enemy nodded in agreement, as six hundred yuan was indeed a large sum of money in this era.
Since there was a burglary at home, ing to the police was surely the right choice.
Catching that thief as soon as possible would be the best.
However, after thinking it over for a moment and hearing from the villager that the missing items were dresses, she instantly reacted.
"Are they dresses? I did see Mrs. Fu sneaking off with a pile of stuff to her family this morning."
"From what I see, she probably stole her daughter-in-law’s clothes to give to her own family."
"If I remember correctly, her family should have some nieces around Jiang Xin’s age. If that’s the case, it’s very likely she stole her daughter-in-law’s clothes for her nieces to wear!"
