Chapter 103 Fraud
The crowd gradually began to panic. If before they were just curious about who had done such an immoral thing, now they were worried. Where else could they find a job that could earn more than 40 cents a day and still take care of the farm work at home?
"Don't worry, everyone. We gathered here today just to resolve this matter." Gu Yansui signaled everyone not to panic. He just sounded a little serious, but it was also to warn everyone not to give up long-term interests for petty gains.
"What should we do, Dashuan? Just tell us, we will fully cooperate with you." Someone began to ask. The sooner this matter was resolved, the better. I believe that if Gu Yansui called them over, there would be a way to catch the person.
"Yes, we must find this kind of person. We can't let him harm everyone."
It would be fine if their interests were not involved, but if everyone's interests were involved, no one would want to suffer losses.
"Everyone, listen to me. Our soap will leave a fragrance on your hands after use. So if the person who stole the soap uses it, it can be easily identified." Gu Yansui observed the expressions of the people present, wanting to see if anyone looked panicked or had an expression that was wrong.
"Who is the shameless one who is seeking death by stealing things? You are really a bastard. If I find out who you are, I will make you suffer!" Old Mrs. Gu was so angry when she found out about this. You know, she was the one who supervised this matter. Such a thing happened under her nose. She was really embarrassed in front of her eldest daughter-in-law!
She came to the front of everyone angrily. Although she was old, her eyes were shrewd and powerful. Looking at her, people who were stared at by her couldn't help but be scared.
"Everyone, take your hands out now."
Whenever Mrs. Gu walked up to them, everyone would stretch out their hands for her to check. Among the workers there were both men and women, young and old, so it was most appropriate for Mrs. Gu to do this task.
Everyone cooperated and stretched out their hands. Zhao Qiqi observed the two men from the side and did not notice anything unusual. This shouldn't be the case. How could they still have such strong mental strength now that the situation has come to this?
However, if you don't have such strong psychological qualities, you can't do such a bold thing.
Zhao Qiqi stayed by himself and had Gu Yansui speak in front for two purposes. One was to train him, and the other was to allow Zhao Qiqi to have a bird's-eye view of the situation and better notice the abnormality of the two people.
It’s just that Old Madam Gu is almost in front of them, why are those two people so calm?
Could it be that they didn't use the soap or didn't steal it? It was more likely that they didn't use the soap. After all, if it wasn't one of them who took the soap, she couldn't think of anyone else who could have had the opportunity to steal the soap without being discovered.
It was their turn. Old Mrs. Gu walked up to them, sniffed, shook her head and looked towards Zhao Qiqi. The meaning was very clear: no.
Old Mrs. Gu knew that these two were the key suspects, and she confirmed again and again that there was indeed no fragrance.
Of course Zhao Qiqi knew the result, because the soap made now is colorless and odorless. Now saying that it has a fragrance is just taking advantage of the thief's nervousness, making him constantly doubt, repeatedly guess and recall whether the soap has a fragrance after use.
So she walked up to the two men and said, "The man who stole the soap was a man, and only four people could enter the warehouse, and you two are the only men. Do you have anything to say?"
Zhao Qiqi wanted to see whether they would take the initiative to come forward and admit it.
Obviously, the result disappointed her. Zhao Qiqi smiled and shook her head: "There is a most important and crucial clue. Although I used it, I didn't use it completely. The thief is a man, and you are the only two men in charge of drying soap. However, the laundry must be done by the women in the family. So it is normal that your hands don't have fragrance. This does not mean that you are not the thief."
Zhao Qiqi's eyes were fixed on them. It was obvious that everyone understood what this meant. There was no such explanation before, but when it came to these two people, it appeared. Zhao Qiqi suspected them from the very beginning.
Gu Lai Xi also thought of this and panicked a little, but then calmed down. He knew that since he was almost caught yesterday, they must know that he was a man, but with neither human nor physical evidence, they could not convict him!
Zhao Qiqi exposed his thoughts: "You are thinking that your wife is not here, so you can't verify it, right? But, it is said that this soap will leave a fragrance, and the washed clothes will naturally have the same fragrance. You wear these fragrant clothes all day long, so it is normal that you can't smell it, but others can easily smell it."
"Mom, please verify it." Zhao Qiqi asked Mrs. Gu to continue.
Gu Dewang's legs were shaking constantly, the corners of his mouth were trembling, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
He fell to his knees, knocking his head against the ground again and again: "Aunt Zhao, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time. I beg you, I will definitely change and will never do this again."
"Gu Dewang, I gave you a chance a long time ago. I told you that the soap you are making now will not leave a lasting fragrance. I suspected you from the beginning, but not only did you not understand, you were complacent and thought you were safe." Zhao Qiqi has learned a lot of characters and idioms from Gu Yanyan recently, so now she can use these words freely without worrying about arousing suspicion.
Gu Dewang looked up in disbelief. He didn't expect Zhao Qiqi to be so cunning.
"you!"
Old Mrs. Gu kicked him mercilessly, and Gu Dewang fell to the side in pain.
Gu Yansui rolled his eyes speechlessly. How strong could an old lady kick him? How could she knock him over? ! However, Gu Yansui still walked to the old lady Gu and pulled her away to avoid any more trouble.
Gu Dewang saw that it was useless to pretend to be miserable, so he simply stopped pretending and stood up.
"Okay, now that it has nothing to do with you all, let's go back to work." Gu Yansui looked at so many people watching the fun and felt it was not appropriate, so he quickly asked everyone to go back to work.
Xiang took out the notebook and started recording. When others saw this, they quickly went into the workshop, fearing that their money would be deducted.
