Chapter 82
Chapter 82 The Crime
The next morning, Emily went to the herb garden as usual to water the herbs. Lucy was in a good
mood, humming a song and nning to take a walk in the nearby park.
Ethan and Sofia were in good spirits, each of them holding the hands of their great-grandmother and
insisting on going with her. How could Lucy not agree? Her eyes curved into a smile, full of love. She
led the two children out the door. When there was no one at home, two men in ck suddenly
appeared in themunity where Emily lived. They were wearing caps, masks, and sunsses, and
their faces could not be seen clearly. They were carrying a toolbox in their hands. The man in ck had
a clear goal and went straight to Emily’s house! They opened the toolbox, took out a piece of wire, and
quickly pried open the door lock.
The two of them held hammers in their hands, looked at each other, and began to destroy the furniture.
The cups and bowls were all smashed, the mirrors were shattered, and the ss coffee table was
overturned to the ground. They smashed the TV and cut off all the wires. They even used steel saw to
cut off the bed legs, leaving scars on the sofa and bedsheets. The clothes in the wardrobe were not
spared. The curtains were also pulled off, broken, and thrown to the ground. After doing this, they
carried the toolbox and left. Emily was busy in the herbal garden when she suddenly received a call
from her neighbor, Aunt Zhang. She wiped her hands and picked it up. She said in a rxed tone,
“Aunt Zhang, what’s the matter?” On the other side, Aunt Zhang’s tone was very anxious. “Emily, your
family has been smashed! Come back and take a look!” Hearing this, Emily frowned and her
expression became cold. “Where are my grandmother and two children? Have theye back?” She
remembered that before she left, they said that they would go out for a walk.
Aunt Zhang thought for a moment. “I don’t think so. I didn’t see them.” Emily was frightened and hurried
back home. What came into view was the open door and smashed furniture. The floor was full of ss.
She only felt that all the blood in her body was frozen, and her whole body was cold. Aunt Zhang heard
hering upstairs and came from home tofort her. “Emily, don’t worry. I have already called the
police. The police willeter.” Emily nodded nkly and thanked her. She was at a loss. At this
time, Lucy and the two children also came back. “What is going on?”
“Mommy!” They looked at the mess on the ground and were stunned. They hurriedly asked Emily.
Emily shook her head in disappointment. Her mind was in a mess. “I don’t know. I just came back.”
They looked at each other in panic. Aunt Zhang guessed, “Maybe it’s a burry. This area is an old city
area, and the poption here is rtively small. This kind of thing often happens.” Lucy said absent-
mindedly, “How could it be? Our family conditions are not good, and there is nothing valuable.” When
they came over, there were a few people surrounding them, all looking at their family and whispering.
Other families were fine, but only their families were robbed? When Emily heard this, she frowned. She
felt that things were not that simple. She carefully looked around. The things in the house were
basically not lost, and it did not look like they had encountered a rob. Sofia was a little afraid and
hugged Lucy tightly. Ethan frowned and carefully observed the situation at home. His eyes shed with
a rational light. “Maybe it was not stolen.” Emily said to everyone with a serious face. Aunt Zhang still
wanted to say something, but the siren suddenly sounded. It was the police.
They consciously stepped out of the door and let the police in to investigate the situation. “Who is the
owner of themunity?” The police took a few photos and asked them.
“Me.”
Emily replied calmly. She took the initiative to say, “In the morning, my family and I went outside. Just
now, the neighbor called me back and said that my family was smashed.” The policeman nodded and
asked the specific question. “What time did you go out?” Emily thought for a moment and replied, “I
went out at nine.” Lucy did not remember the time. Ethan answered for her, “We went out at 9:10.” The
police officer recorded and said, “The crime should bemitted at 9:10.” Emily calmly told the police
her thoughts. “The other party seemed to havee prepared. Other than picking locks and smashing
furniture, they didn’t do anything. They probably have been nning for this for a long time.” The
policeman did not deny it. He recorded what she said and said to her, “We have already sent people to
check the surveince cameras. We will investigate all of this in detail.” She nodded and pulled her
grandmother to sit down. Lucy still had a bad expression. An hourter, the police presented the
neighborhood surveince.
The surveince showed that at half-past nine in the morning, two men, wearing caps and masks, were
walking toward the building.
The police judged that it should be these two people. Because they could not see their faces, the police
let Emily identify them. Among the people she knew, was there anyone with such a figure? It was
probably an acquaintance who had smashed the furniture. Emily carefully identified it for a long time
and shook her head in confirmation. “No, I don’t know them.”
There was no progress in the case and the clues were cut off. The police could only go back first.
“Ms. Armstrong, when there is any progress, we will inform you.”
The police recorded Emily’s phone number and said to her. She responded weakly, feeling exhausted.
Before they left, the police reminded her, “It’s not safe here. Just in case, don’t stay here for now.
Arrange for your family to stay somewhere else.” She nodded and said, “Thank you, Officer.”
