Chapter 46 The Kind Thief
The wallet is gone? When did it be lost? Where?
Yang Yan frowned and tried hard to search for his memory.
The first thing that can be ruled out is that he lost it on a taxi because he gave the money when he came to register. Is it in the corridor outside the preventive health department? Did it accidentally fall out of his pocket while sitting?
Or was it lost when I went upstairs to find Dr. Peng?
Just as Yang Yan was about to turn around to find his wallet, someone suddenly pulled his arm behind him. He turned around and saw that it was a man with dark skin. Looking at his young face, Yang Yan felt familiar - Yang Yan had a good memory, but he had seen too many passers-by in the hospital and could not remember it for a while.
But what is this dark-skinned man going to do?
"Brother, you, your wallet fell off, just... just fell to the ground!" The man holding his arm said to Yang Yan in a very unstandard Mandarin. When he spoke, his eyes were dodging.
Yang Yan didn't pay attention. After all, he was not a policeman. When he saw the wallet, Yang Yan's first reaction was a surprise. He happily took the wallet and thanked repeatedly: "It's mine, thank you, friend! He helped me pick up the wallet."
The man scratched his head. He looked at the child in Yang Yan's arms and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, count it and see if there is less money."
Yang Yan didn't have the habit of bringing a lot of cash, so he only had a few hundred yuan in his wallet. He just opened it and looked at it, then smiled and shook his head, and said to the other party: "Not many, thank you really, hey, there are still many good people in this world!"
The man's face showed a look of shame, but thanks to his dark skin, no matter how red his face was, it was difficult to see.
Only then did Yang Yan look at the other person carefully. Judging from his simple clothes and rough skin, the young man looked a bit like a migrant worker. Yang Yan felt even more and more disgusted, so he said sincerely: "Friend, what are you drinking? Drink or coffee? I'll treat you! Thank you by the way!"
"No, no!" The man quickly waved his hand.
"No need?" At this time, a clear and clean voice suddenly came from beside him. Xia Yu, wearing a police uniform, walked over from the door in confusion.
Xia Yu knew that Luo Luo was going to get vaccinated today, and she happened to have some official duties nearby, so she walked over and took a look.
Xia Yu also wanted to call Yang Yan and ask where he was. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Yang Yan standing in front of the payment window.
Yang Yan didn't pay attention to the nervous expression of the dark-skinned man. He smiled and said to Xia Yu, "That's right. This friend picked up my wallet and gave it to me. I thought I was missing, but I didn't expect to meet a good person!"
Xia Yu was a person who had studied criminal psychology. She could see at a glance that something was obviously wrong with the man's expression, and she immediately became suspicious.
Xia Yu frowned slightly and stared at the man and asked, "Where did you pick up the wallet?"
Yang Yan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xia Yu's abnormal behavior and immediately caught the string of the joy that was lost and recovered by his wallet - he finally realized that something was wrong...
"Then, then, I picked it up on this ground!" The man pointed to the floor of the hall in panic and said hesitantly.
"Picked it up on the ground?" Xia Yu looked at the man's nervous look that sweated coldly on his forehead in the middle of winter. The suspicion in his heart became deeper. She decided to cheat the other party, "But my friend was not the wallet he just lost. He has been looking for it for a long time!"
Yang Yan looked at the young man's face carefully.
I saw him getting nervous. Finally, he couldn't help but cry and quickly explained: "No, it wasn't what I picked up just now. I mean I've picked it up for a while, and finally waited until he came back here."
"Then how do you know it's his wallet?" Xia Yu asked.
"He might have looked at the ID card inside me?" Yang Yan suddenly spoke, and he winked at Xia Yu.
"Yes, yes, I saw the ID card and then recognized it." The man who seemed not very good at lying quickly went downstairs and said.
Xia Yu glared at Yang Yan anxiously. She felt that she was about to solve the case, why did Yang Yan suddenly get involved?
Yang Yan smiled and pressed her hands gently to signal Xia Yu not to worry. He turned his head and said to the young man: "No matter what, I still thank you for sending my wallet back. Today I want to vaccinate my child and am preparing to pay the fee."
"No, it's good if you don't delay the child's medical treatment. Yes, I'm sorry..." The young man lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xia Yu.
Yang Yan said a few words and let the young man leave. Xia Yu stood behind Yang Yan silently, with a look of confusion, but she did not stop her. Until Yang Yan completed the procedures for Luoluo, she stood there angrily, wanting to wait for Yang Yan to explain.
"He probably stole my wallet when I was on the elevator." Yang Yan and Xia Yu walked to the corridor of the preventive health department, and then waited to call the phone. At this time, Yang Yan said to Xia Yu softly, "I remember seeing him before."
"You know he is a thief, so you are so polite to him?" Xia Yu said angrily.
Of course, Xia Yu knew why Yang Yan let the young man with dark skin go, and she actually held similar views to Yang Yan, otherwise she would not have stood there and watched the man leave. However, Xia Yu was carrying the identity of a policeman, her duties, and her ideals told her that such a woman's kindness is not allowed... so she was struggling in her heart.
"Because he could steal my wallet and fly away, but he didn't. He still couldn't get through the hurdle in his heart. He was worried that Luo Luo would have no money to treat his illness, so he sent his wallet back to me..." Yang Yan gently stroked Luo Luo's little head, which was a little sleepy in his arms through the knitted hat, and said to Xia Yu.
It was time for the little girl to sleep in the afternoon. It was obvious that she was no longer looking around as energetic as before. She quietly snuggled in her father's warm arms, just like the kitten curled up in a paper box that made it feel very safe. Dad gently covered her little head with his big hands, and Luo Luo comfortably rested on his father's chest, and gradually got up to sleep.
"This shows that he is not bad in nature, but he accidentally went on a wrong path. I want to give him a chance to turn back to the right path. If you caught him at that time, he might be very desperate and think that his kindness is wrong. If he gets stuck, this person will easily go to another extreme." Yang Yan explained to Xia Yu.
"But, our police arrested the thief not just to punish him!" Xia Yu said, "We are also educating these people who have done the wrong things, so that they can realize their mistakes and make reforms. If you let him go today and he will steal other people's wallet tomorrow? You can't expect him to steal other people's wallets next time, right?"
Yang Yan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't take this into consideration. He suddenly became silent. This problem seemed a bit unsolvable.
