Jinping City was located in the central plains of the north. As there weren't any tall mountains in the north, there was always the cold north wind that blew in the early winter.
It was sunny and sunny that morning, but after noon, the north wind started to blow. The temperature plummeted, and the fallen leaves started to fall.
A red taxi passed through the street that was filled with fallen leaves and stopped in front of the Bliss Nursing Home. When the door opened, a woman in a brown trench coat got out of the car, shivering.
After paying the taxi fare, the woman didn't walk straight to the main entrance. Instead, she walked along the wall of the nursing home to the other side.
The woman's body was weak, and coupled with the cold wind, she was swaying as she walked. She looked like she would faint at any moment.
However, she clenched her teeth and persisted until she reached a small iron gate at the west wall of the nursing home.
The small iron gate had been abandoned by the nursing home for many years, and no one had been paying attention to it for a long time. When she arrived at the gate, the woman extended her hand through the hole in the iron gate and quickly took out a key from the inside of the iron gate.
Creak. The iron gate was opened by the key. The woman looked around cautiously, and when she confirmed that no one was around, she quickly entered the nursing home.
The woman walked across the golf course of the nursing home and went straight to the center of the nursing home, the recuperation building. As there had been a serious shooting incident the night before, the entire building was still in lockdown mode. Most of the elderly who lived there had been relocated elsewhere.
However, the police had already dealt with the scene. Although there were a few police officers who stayed behind, they were just there for formality. Hence, no one noticed the woman's existence.
After entering the building, the woman went to the storage room that was specially used to store the important items of the elderly. She then used the password to open one of the storage boxes.
There were many things in the storage box. The woman first changed into a clean set of clothes, then took out her phone to check for messages.
Just as she was checking her phone, her gaze stopped at her hands again. She saw that the ends of her palms were wrapped in white bandages. Her two little fingers were gone!
That's right, this woman was the female cat burglar, Cui Lizhu!
Feeling the weight on her hands lighten, she couldn't help but feel gloomy. However, time was of the essence, and she didn't have time to regret the past. She quickly opened her phone to check, and finally found the information that she was looking for. It turned out that the old man who lived in room 606 had been placed in a side building by the hospital.
So, Cui Lizhu quickly packed up the items in the locker, put a lot of money into her backpack, then picked up her backpack, left the building, and walked towards the side building.
There were no more policemen on duty in the auxiliary building. The people who came and went were the hospital staff and the elderly who were temporarily placed here.
Within a few minutes, Cui Lizhu found the old man's room on the second floor. The door was open, so she quickly pushed it open and walked in.
"I'll definitely be promoted. Both of us are good! The Three Stars Shine High, Four Seasons Bring Wealth … "Unexpectedly, the sound of a drinking game came from the room. A loud and clear voice roared," Wahaha, you've lost. Drink up! "
Cui Lizhu was surprised. She hurriedly took two steps forward and saw two men playing finger-guessing games and drinking wine on the tea table in the room.
What shocked her even more was that one of the men was the old man, and the other man was Zhao Yu!
"Why did I lose again?" The old man reluctantly raised his head and drank a glass of wine. He then shouted unwillingly, "Again! Again! I don't believe that I can't beat you. Five sons pass the imperial examinations, six sons pass the imperial examinations, seven sons pass the imperial examinations … "
At this time, Zhao Yu had already seen Cui Lizhu, who had rushed over, but he didn't pay attention to her. He was still engrossed in playing finger-guessing games with the old man.
Cui Lizhu looked around. Although she didn't see any other police officers, she knew that she couldn't run away from Zhao Yu's eyes!
Unexpectedly, when the idea of running away disappeared, Cui Lizhu felt relieved. She threw away her backpack and slowly walked towards Zhao Yu.
"Girl, the girl is here!" After the old man saw Cui Lizhu, he quickly waved at Zhao Yu and said, "Come, let my girl come with you. The two of us, I don't believe that we can't beat you!"
"Dad!" Cui Lizhu complained weakly. "The doctor said that you can't drink! Do you still want to cure your illness or not? "
"It's just apple cider vinegar!" Zhao Yu raised his glass and took a sip. He then said to Cui Lizhu, "Why don't we do something serious first? Playing finger-guessing games is one thing, but stealing my watch is not right! Hurry up and ask your dad to return my watch to me! It's expensive! "
"Mm …" Cui Lizhu creased her eyebrows. Just as she was about to step towards the old man, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
Zhao Yu was quick to react. He grabbed her and helped her to the bed next to him.
At this time, Ran Tao poked his head out from the door of the room and pointed at the handcuffs. Zhao Yu gave him a look and asked him to leave first.
"Sigh! Not many people know how to play this kind of drinking game anymore. "Zhao Yu smacked his lips and said to Cui Lizhu," I guess your dad used to be a king of thieves, right? "
"Hey? I'm kind enough to drink with you. Why are you scolding me? "Unexpectedly, the old man wasn't having it." What bastard? Who are you scolding? Isn't it just a watch? Here, I'll give it back to you! "
Then, the old man took out Zhao Yu's watch, as if he was performing a magic trick. Zhao Yu had just reached out his hand, when the old man turned his wrist and put the watch on Zhao Yu's wrist firmly.
"Mm …" Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows and said to Cui Lizhu, "I have a question that I don't understand. With your dad's skills, he could easily steal everything from other old men and women. How could a nursing home … Oh … No wonder you have to pay 170,000 yuan for your dad's hospitalization fees! "
"No … No …" Cui Lizhu's face was pale as she said, "Because my dad not only needs to recuperate, but he also needs treatment!"
Then, she pointed to her head, which meant to tell Zhao Yu that there was something wrong with the old man's brain.
"Police officer … Please …" The next second, Cui Lizhu burst into tears. "My dad … If no one takes care of him, he will die! Please! "
Then, Cui Lizhu struggled to get out of bed and knelt down before Zhao Yu.
"Hey …" Zhao Yu quickly pressed her down on the bed and said, "According to the rules of society, if you want me to help you, you have to be honest with me first! But, what you have done has disappointed me very much … "
"No … No!" Cui Lizhu begged with tears all over her face. "I didn't mean to deceive you, but I really have my own difficulties! If I am taken to the police station, my dad will have no one to take care of him! I beg you … "
Cui Lizhu's face was pale and her lips were chapped, but she was crying miserably. Looking at her bandaged hand, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel pity for her.
"Well, if that's the case, then tell me everything you know now!" Zhao Yu said seriously. "I promise, this is your last chance! If you dare to lie to me again, I will spread the news about your father's identity! "
"Ah! Don't … Please don't … I'll tell you everything … "Cui Lizhu was so scared that she put her hands together.
