Chapter 1348: Christmas thief

　　 December 25, afternoon, Iwata Convenience Store, office.
In order to prove that the anti-theft camera was useless, Mei Daizi and Yamazaki took a bag alone, and then walked around in the convenience store, let the manager Iwata look through the monitor to see if they had taken anything. Take it, then take something.
　　 Store Manager Iwata stared at the replayed video tape for a long time, and didn't see what Yamazaki and Meidaizi were taking, because either Meidaizi blocked the camera view for Yamazaki, or Yamazaki made a cover for Meidaizi.
　　 "Look, this thing is completely useless." Mei Daizi said triumphantly.
　　 Yuanzi curiously said: "Let me see what you have taken."
　　 Yamazaki and Mei Daizi turned the bag upside down and poured out a bunch of things, chocolates, gum, comics, nail clippers and so on. There were about dozens of them.
　　 Judy whistled: "Wow, that's amazing."
　　 "You, you are you," the store manager Iwata called, "you stole it."
　　 "Shut up," Mei Daizi shouted, "I will let the lawyer sue you any more nonsense."
　　 Store Manager Iwata opened his mouth and said nothing.
　　 "Mr. Iwata," Yamazaki asked, "Do you think it is our thief, because the things we took are similar to the things you dropped?"
　　 "That's right." Manager Iwata said, "Game software, DVDs, CDs, bento boxes, rice balls, mineral water, oolong tea, cola, and a lot of chocolate and other confectionery."
　　 "Ah, it's easy to imagine that young people gather together for a party." Sonoko said, "It looks like playing music, playing games and watching TV while having fun."
　　 "It is indeed." Lan said.
　　 "This is impossible." Mei Daizi said, "Mineral water, oolong tea, cola, box lunch, rice balls, these things can not be put away all at once, then you need a big bag, it will be easy to find."
　　 "That can be divided into many times." Manager Iwata said, "We have a lot of people coming in and out during the morning and evening rush hours."
　　 "Sir, I believe you must be staring?" Yamazaki asked, "have you spotted people who come and go frequently?"
　　 "No." Manager Iwata said.
　　 Lan asked, "Could it be a group of people?"
　　 "Then there will be more things to steal." Mei Daizi said.
　　 "Okay," Yamazaki asked, "Mr. Iwata, do you have a video of the days when you lost something? If you don't mind, can you let us see it?"
　　 "Only yesterday." Manager Iwata said.
　　 "Let's take a look first." Yamazaki asked the store manager to retrieve the video.
"What, you lost something yesterday, so many people don't doubt it, why do you suspect Xiao Xuan?" Yuanzi asked, "You didn't steal it yourself, and then wanted to do something nasty to Xiao Xuan? "
　　 "How is it possible!" Manager Iwata jumped, "Don't talk nonsense here."
　　 Lan asked, "Then why do you suspect Xiao Xuan?"
　　 Iwata manager said: "This happened a month ago, but the video here can only be kept for one week."
　　 Yamazaki asked, "How many times did it happen?"
　　 "Three times," said the store manager Iwata, "then I installed these four anti-theft cameras, and then I found that there were no customers taking care of them."
　　 "You didn't see it." Mei Daizi said.
　　 "But I found that every time I lost something, it happened when Xiao Xuan was on duty like yesterday." Manager Iwata said.
　　 Yuanzi said, "That might be a thief."
　　 "It's not a thief," Mr. Iwata said, "I used to stay outside for a night, and I didn't find anyone sneaking in."
　　 Yamazaki asked: "Since you watched all night, when did you watch it?"
　　 Manager Iwata said, "That was exactly the day Xiao Xuan was on duty."
　　 Lan asked, "Have you seen Xiao Xuan carrying a lot of things when she left?"
　　 "No." Manager Iwata said, "But when I ordered the order the next morning, I noticed that there were few items."
　　 "You don't always have Xiao Xuan alone on duty here, right?" Mei Daizi said angrily, "Why do you only suspect Xiao Xuan?"
　　 Manager Iwata said, "Because she is the last to leave."
　　 "What kind of reason is that?" Yuanzi said irritably.
　　 "Then you can explain it to me," Manager Iwata asked, "Why is Xiao Xuan on duty every time something happens?"
　　 Lan asked, "Xiao Xuan, did anything special happen when you were on duty?"
　　 "This," Nanakagawa thought for a while, "Nothing special."
　　 "You think about it again." Mei Daizi said.
　　 "I..." Nanakagawa hid behind Lan in fear.
　　 "Hello, what's the matter?" Mei Daizi asked, "Xiao Xuan, what are you doing? You seem to be afraid of me?"
　　 Teacher Zhudi asked, "Oh, Miyamoto-san, have you bullied Xiao Xuan before?"
　　 "Where is it? How could it be possible." Mei Daizi retorted.
　　 "Is that inadvertently?" Yuanzi asked with a smile.
　　 "Then I don't even think of it." Mei Daizi said, "Just ask Xiaoxuan."
　　Lan asked softly: "Xiao Xuan, did Mei Daizi do anything to you before?"
　　 Nanakagawa nodded, "Yes."
　　 "Huh?" Mei Daizi was stunned.
　　 Yuanzi asked: "What did she do to you?"
　　 "She, Mei Daizi," Qichuan Xuan lowered her head, took a peek at Mei Daizi, and said in fear, "She once sent someone to my house to find me."
　　 Lan asked puzzledly: "Is there any problem with this?"
　　 "Because, because..." Nanakagawa hesitated in fear and couldn't say it.
　　 "Mei Daizi?" Yuanzi asked, "Is there such a thing?"
　　 "Don't be noisy, just thinking about it." Mei Daizi said with a headache.
　　 Lan asked, "Xiao Xuan, when did that happen?"
　　 "Just when I graduated from junior high school." Nanakagawa said in a low voice.
　　 "Ah, that's right." Mei Daizi said with a high-five, "There is such a thing."
　　 Yuanzi asked: "Why did you send someone to find Xiao Xuan for?"
"Didn't Xiao Xuan go to high school or vocational school at the time?" Mei Daizi said, "So when my mother knew, she sent someone to Xiao Xuan's house to see if she encountered any difficulties. It turned out that her whole family had moved away, so she didn’t look for it."
　　 "That's it?" Sonoko asked.
　　 Nanakagawa was surprised, "Really, really?"
　　 Lan said, "I believe in Mei Daizi."
　　 "Of course this is the case." Mei Daizi said, "After all, you are my classmate, of course you can help." Then he asked, "Otherwise, what do you think I am looking for?"
　　 "That, that," Nanakagawa whispered embarrassedly, "I, I thought you wanted me to join a violent organization."
　　 "What?" Mei Daizi was surprised.
　　 Teacher Zhudi smiled and asked, "Xiao Xuan, why do you have this idea?"
　　 Knowing what she might have misunderstood, Qi Chuanxuan said in a guilty voice, "Because it is said that Mei Daizi often fights, and there are also rumors that she is with a violent organization."
　　 "What? Because of this?" Mei Daizi said angrily and funny, "Please, I'm just going to teach them and let them be honest."
　　 Yuanzi smiled and said, "You are itchy hands."
　　 "If you say so, you blame Mei Daizi." Lan smiled, "Who told Mei Daizi you often fight, so Xiao Xuan misunderstood."
　　 "Oh," said Mr. Judy, "Miyamoto-san, fighting is a bad hobby."
　　 "Hey." Mei Daizi laughed dryly.
　　 "I'm afraid she can't change it." Yuanzi laughed.
　　 "Wonderful." Mei Daizi complained sullenly, and then changed the subject, "Xuan Xuan, it sounds strange to you, why didn't you go to high school? Are you still doing child labor here?"
　　 "Hey, don't talk nonsense," the manager Iwata said hurriedly, "How can there be any child labor? I give it to Xiao Xuan according to the standard of a full-time employee."
　　 Yuanzi asked: "Will you be so kind?"
　　 "You have misunderstood, Manager Iwata is a good person, if it weren't for him to take care of..." Nanakagawa slumped in Lan's arms and cried before she finished speaking.
　　 Mei Daizi asked the manager Iwata: "Do you know what's going on?"
Manager Iwata sighed,
At that time, Xuan’s parents were in a car accident. One died and one injured. Her grandmother passed away from the heart, and her grandfather was also sick. Xuan’s family needed a lot of money, so they sold the house. After a lot of money was spent, her mother left. Her grandfather's illness did not improve. Her grandfather felt that he was a drag and committed suicide."
　　 "How could this happen?" Lan and Yuanzi also cried with Nanagawa.
"Also," the store manager Iwata sighed. "Because suicide is not insured, her grandfather pretended to be a homicide. The investigator of the insurance company saw it through, and instead lost a lot of money, Xiao Xuan He was almost taken as an accomplice and sent to jail."
　　 "I am speechless." Mei Daizi smiled bitterly.
"My father used to be in a ward with Grandpa Xiao Xuan," said the manager Iwata. "Xuan Xuan had been taking care of her family in the hospital before. I often see her, so after her grandfather left, I let her work here. In this way, before she marries, she can at least have a stable life."
　　 "If you say that, I really want to thank you." Mei Daizi said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to be rude just now."
　　 Ran and Sonoko wiped their tears, and said to Manager Iwata, "I'm sorry."
　　 "It doesn't matter." Manager Iwata said, "Needless to say I'm sorry."
　　 Mei Daizi said, "Next, I will leave the affairs of Xiaoxuan to us."
　　 "Okay," Manager Iwata thought for a while, "then this thing is forgotten."
　　 Nanagawa Aya sobbed and said, "Manager, I really didn't steal anything."
　　 "Don't cry or cry, we trust you." Lan said.
　　 "Yeah." Nanagawa said, wiping her tears.
　　 Sonoko asked, "Yamazaki, are you optimistic about the video?"
　　 "There is no reference video, I can only say that this person is more suspicious." Yamazaki freezes the video. It shows a man of about 30 years old, of medium build, slightly thinner, wearing a trench coat and with a kind smile.
　　 Mei Daizi asked: "What's the problem with him?"
　　 "He has been in this convenience store during the morning peak and evening peak, and then disappeared." Yamazaki said while adjusting the video.
　　 "He must pass by here from work to get off work." Yuanzi asked, "What's weird?"
　　"This is of course weird~EbookFREE.me~ Teacher Zhu Di said, "Because judging from his age and the time he has been here, he should be an office worker. "
　　 "That's right," Lan said, "He's always here, that is, he is not in a hurry."
　　 "It's really weird to say that." Yuanzi said, "It stands to reason that he should have left after shopping at the convenience store, but he has stayed here."
"I see," said Mei Daizi, "he must be observing the situation here, and then waiting for an opportunity. It just so happens that he is wearing a loose windbreaker and he can put the stolen things inside his clothes. It looks ugly from the outside. come out."
"It makes sense." The manager Iwata said, and then looked at the video carefully, "Ah, I remember, this person is really not in a hurry at all. I remember that every time he queues in front of the bathroom, he will let the person in front of the team go ."
　　 "Isn't it?" Mei Daizi smiled, "He is not afraid of something wrong."
　　 "I remember too." Nanakagawa said, "He seemed to have bought a towel, a toothbrush set, a pack of razor blades, and a dry battery yesterday."
　　 "They are all daily necessities," Sonoko said.
　　Mei Daizi said: "It's almost time to get off work. If it's really this guy, he should come over too. Let's wait outside for him."
　　 "If it is this guy," Lan Qi said, "you must let him apologize to Xiao Xuan."...
　　 Nanagawa Aya stayed at the convenience store to do the work. Others left the convenience store, found a hotel nearby, and asked for a room with a view of the entrance of the convenience store.
It’s not enough to make dinner by yourself. Mei Daizi simply ordered a table from the hotel, and Yamazaki also asked Mr. Zhu Di to rent a few camcorders to record the entrance of the convenience store, so as not to miss that person during dinner. Possible associates. ...
