The mother-in-law is a police officer, and the criminal gangs came to give gifts

Chapter 5 Your mother-in-law is really a criminal investigator
The scene of Shen Mi being so anxious that she was about to cry soon caught the eyes of many viewers in the live broadcast room.

Shen Mi has always been a very optimistic girl in everyone's mind. This kind of situation has rarely happened to her, or even never happened before. For a while, many people tried to comfort her.

"Goddess Xunmi, don't worry. Brother Su didn't answer the phone. He must be driving. You know he has always been safety-conscious and never makes phone calls while driving. He will definitely call you back when he's waiting at the traffic light."

"Actually, Brother Su seems pretty reliable. He probably wouldn't do anything rash. Even if he bought cosmetics, there's nothing wrong with that. The more ordinary things are, the more they represent your thoughts!"

"This visit was decided a month ago. Given Su Ge's personality, he must have prepared a gift long ago. Who knows, maybe it's a gift we can't even imagine."

"You must trust Brother Su on this point."

"When has he ever disappointed you?"

"Even if it's not a gift that can bring a surprise to your family behind the scenes, it won't be something reckless. You can trust Brother Su on this point."

Not only the audience, but even the female anchors who usually have a good relationship with Shen Mi have joined in the comforting efforts at this moment.

"Sister Xiao Mi, you are so beautiful and Brother Su can handle you. I think you don't have to worry about buying gifts."

"That's right, when has Brother Su ever let you down?"

Originally Shen Mi was just anxious, but now looking at the countless comments that came out to comfort her, tears couldn't help but slide down her stunningly beautiful face.

Looking at the camera, Shen Mi wiped away her tears and smiled bitterly: "You...you made me cry, and you haven't figured out the situation. What I'm worried about now is not whether Brother Su will buy cosmetics, but I wish the gift he prepared would be cosmetics."

"???"

"Did I hear wrongly?"

"Or are you wrong?"

"what?"

In the live broadcast room, almost everyone was confused by Shen Mi's words.

Aren’t you worried that the gift Su Ge gave you is too ordinary?
Why do you suddenly want Brother Su to give you some cosmetics?
Could it be that Su Ge’s future mother-in-law is a woman who likes to wear makeup and always looks exquisite?
In the live broadcast room, everyone was imagining things crazily.

To be honest, they really couldn't think of any other reason other than this.

Shen Mi took a breath and said, "I know everyone is confused now, but there are some things that I can't explain, and I have no way to explain them. Anyway, let me put it this way, I would rather he prepare a very ordinary gift than something fancy."

"And what you said is right. Although cosmetics are a bit ordinary, it is still a thoughtful gesture, right? Will my mother say anything?"

"But if it's something fancy, I'm really worried that my mom won't be able to accept it."

"No, Goddess Xunmi, doesn't every woman like cosmetics?" Someone raised a question in the live broadcast room.

"Every time I go to my wife's house, I buy cosmetics for my mother-in-law. She is always very happy and loves them."

"Me too, but the cosmetics were bought by my wife and given to my mother-in-law in my name."

……

Shen Mi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My mother doesn't like to wear makeup."

Are there still women who don’t like to wear makeup these days?
In the live broadcast room, many viewers’ eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Shen Mi seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking and explained, "Well, it's not that I don't like her, it's just that she's a very decisive person and has no time to dress herself up."

"I bought her a set of cosmetics a few years ago, but she has only used it less than three times so far."

The netizen suddenly realized: "If you don't like to wear makeup, then preparing makeup is indeed a bit ordinary."

"Didn't you tell Brother Su about this?"

"Because I haven't mentioned it, so..."

"I'm not worried about him not having cosmetics now. My mother doesn't wear much makeup, but if Brother Su buys cosmetics, my mother will definitely not say anything. But I'm afraid he will buy those fancy things."

"My mother is...she is a more traditional woman."

"You understand!"

Shen Mi sighed. It was useless to say anything now. Su Rui would not answer the phone while driving. By the time he could answer the phone, Su Rui would probably be downstairs of her house.

But by that time, even if we know there is a problem, we can only take it one step at a time.

Some anchors saw Shen Mi's troubles, and after thinking for a while, they began to offer suggestions: "This is not difficult! Do you have any unopened cosmetics at home? If so, hide them first, and wait for Brother Su to come. If you think there is something wrong with the gift, why not just change it before Auntie finds out?"

"You don't even need to change it. You can just take it out and say that Brother Su prepared it in advance and asked you to bring it over, right?"

"Oh, I thought it was such a difficult matter, but such a small matter has made you, the goddess, cry?"

"thank you all."

Shen Mi said bitterly, "You all know that I just changed my cosmetics half a month ago, so why would I buy a second set? It's too late to prepare now. Although the nearest shopping mall is not far from me, it takes at least half an hour to go back and forth. In half an hour, he would have arrived long ago."

"When he arrives, I won't be there, and my mom will be home alone, which will be a bigger problem."

When everyone thought about it, it seemed to be the case.

Whether it is Su Rui or Xia Jie, both of them are strangers. Only when Shen Mi is around can an invisible thread connect the two of them.

If the son-in-law and mother-in-law who are meeting for the first time are really left alone under the same roof, and the son-in-law brings out a gift that the mother-in-law doesn't like or even hates, the first impression will be completely ruined.

But if Shen Mi was there, even if the above situation happened, it would not be too serious.

At least Xia Jie, for the sake of her daughter, would not show her displeasure even if she felt it.

If Shen Mi said a few more nice words, perhaps a bad thing would turn into a good thing.

Shen Mi glanced at the comments and saw that everyone was still thinking of countermeasures for her. She shook her head and didn't mention it again.

Now, I can only accept my fate.

But the next moment, Shen Mi began to comfort herself again.

She had told Su Rui every word about Xia Jie's identity. With Su Rui's intelligence, and considering Xia Jie's identity as the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade and her hatred of evil, he probably wouldn't do anything fancy and it would be more likely that he would prepare some more practical gifts.

But to be honest, Shen Mi also felt a little regretful.

She still wasn't fully prepared.

I should have prepared a gift in advance after making an appointment to visit, so I wouldn't be sitting here anxiously now.

Xia Jie got up very early, which was a habit she had kept since she became a police officer. She came back from the vegetable market with a large bag of vegetables. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Mi sitting there absent-mindedly, so she asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"Mom, it's nothing."

Xia Jie's sudden return startled Shen Mi. She quickly stood up and walked to Xia Jie, helping her carry the vegetables to the kitchen: "Mom, let me help you pick the vegetables!"

Seeing her daughter's nervous expression, Xia Jie comforted her, "Don't worry about you and Su Rui. I didn't say I don't agree. As long as Su Rui treats you well and has good character, I won't have any objections."

"As for the betrothal gift, I won't ask for it. Your father and I are not without money. Even if we are, will you not support us when we grow old?"

"From now on, you two will live together. Would I, your mother, make things difficult for him?"

"Mom, this isn't what I meant by that."

"What's that for?"

"Mom, don't ask."

"Okay, okay, I won't ask any more questions, okay?"

Xia Jie shook her head helplessly and said no more.

The conversation between the two in the kitchen was also transmitted to the live broadcast room word for word.

For a moment, the fans who were originally worried about Su Rui almost had their eyes red with envy.

"Brother Su must have saved the Milky Way in his previous life! Not only does he have a gentle and virtuous girlfriend like Goddess Xun Mi, but even his mother-in-law is so open-minded."

"I looked back at my mother-in-law. She's still a little angry. She demanded 180,000 yuan as a betrothal gift from me, and gave it all to my useless brother-in-law. He lost all of it in half a year. Now he's sick. Not only did I pay for it all, but my brother-in-law didn't even want to visit him. But my mother-in-law still sides with him. Then look at Brother Su's future mother-in-law. Damn it, how can the gap between people be so big?"

Everyone: "..." "Please accept my condolences upstairs!"

"Condolences!"

"Brother, you've suffered so much!!"

The netizens who were originally comforting Shen Mi quickly changed their direction.

Compared to Shen Mi, the guy upstairs is really miserable.

Here, Xia Jie, who was cleaning sea bass in the kitchen, suddenly heard a hurried ring. She wiped her hands on her apron, took out her phone and took a look. She found that it was Lao Li who called. She said directly to Shen Mi, "It's your Uncle Li who called. There may be an emergency at the bureau. I'll take the call first. Can you help me wash the vegetables and so on."

"Mom, go ahead."

Xia Jie hurriedly left the kitchen and went to the balcony.

As soon as the call was connected, Lao Li's hurried voice came from the other end: "Captain Xia, Xiao Wang and I came to the bureau early in the morning and sorted out the information about the gold robbery case..."

"Did you find anything?" Xia Jie asked before Lao Li finished speaking.

"No."

Old Li sighed, "Those guys were too meticulous. The surveillance on that road happened to be broken at the time, so we don't know many details, and we don't even know where they drove from."

"Now that I think about it, the surveillance cameras on that road broke down too soon. Those cameras might have been broken by that group of people in advance. I even suspect that they might be the workers responsible for the surveillance on that section of road."

"Have you ever checked who were the workers who were responsible for monitoring that section of road back then?" Xia Jie keenly grasped the key point.

"We checked and there was nothing wrong with those people. We also questioned them at the time."

"It should be, but maybe they used fake identities, so we don't have any clues now."

Xia Jie pondered for a moment and said, "What about the batch of gold? Any clues? Gold and diamonds worth tens of millions are not so easy to sell."

"I'm just afraid they'll melt all the gold."

Old Li's concerns were exactly what Xia Jie was most worried about. She frowned and said, "If the gold is really melted, the subsequent clues will be cut off."

"That's right!"

"Have you found anything else?" Xia Jie still didn't give up.

"Yes, but they are all insignificant clues. There is no way to determine the identity of the suspect."

"but……"

"But what?"

Old Li said: "I have a feeling that the people who stole the gold back then may still be in Ningcheng."

"You mean... it's darkest under the lamp?" Xia Jie quickly thought of a possibility.

"Yes, those guys might be playing tricks on us."

Old Li quickly analyzed his guess: "Over the years, we have always believed that they would leave Ningcheng as quickly as possible after stealing the gold, so we put all our energy into some surrounding cities, and even outside the province. Only Ningcheng was investigated more strictly in the first half month after the incident, and we never tracked them down again after that."

Xia Jie took a breath and said, "Old Li, what you said makes sense. Let's follow this line of thought and check the information and inquiry records at that time. Maybe we will find something."

"I'll... give it a try!"

Old Li sighed. To be honest, although he was the one who came up with this clue, he himself did not have much confidence in it.

Those guys were too cunning. They cleaned up all the traces thoroughly. The clues left behind were not enough to determine their identities, and there was no way to find the gold that was stolen that year.

In this way, the two most important clues are gone.

Some small clues, whether they exist or not, will have little impact on the gold robbery.

Moreover, let alone finding the suspects from that year, even if the suspects were standing in front of him now, he would not recognize them!

How to check this?
"There's only one month left!" Old Li sighed and looked at Xiao Wang and the other man.

After finishing the call with Lao Li, Xia Jie's face looked a little ugly. She felt that Lao Li's guess made sense. Those people might have been playing tricks on their Criminal Investigation Brigade for the past three years.

But even if they knew, the Criminal Investigation Team has not yet confirmed the identities of those people. There are millions of people in Ningcheng, and looking for those few people among them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Having a clue doesn't mean you can find the clues you want.

It's two different things.

Xia Jie returned to the kitchen with a gloomy face.

Shen Mi saw that her mother looked unhappy, and said with concern: "Mom, don't think about the case at home. Who knows, those criminals might come to your doorstep one day."

"It's not as simple as you say."

Shen Mi's naive words made Xia Jie feel a little helpless.

If the gold robbery case was so easy to solve, she wouldn't have been investigating it for three years without any results.

However, she couldn't explain these things to Shen Mi, so she could only stand silently in front of the stove and prepare some dishes that would be needed for cooking.

Shen Mi felt uncomfortable looking at her mother who was in a bad mood, and became more and more worried about Su Rui's visit today.

My mother was already in a bad mood, and if Su Rui gave her something fancy, it would just add fuel to the fire.

……

the other side.

Su Rui drove the van to the underground and stopped the car. He first observed for a while, and when there were not many people in the basement, he quickly tied Yuan Cheng and others together with a rope, and dragged them to the elevator entrance.

Although Su Rui had stuffed several people's mouths with cloth, they were still able to make some sound.

"Um...you..."

Su Rui's hearing was pretty good. Although he couldn't hear clearly what the other party was saying, he could guess roughly from the looks of the people: ""

"You asked me where I wanted to take you?"

Su Rui shrugged: "Where else can I go? Didn't I tell you a long time ago? To meet my future mother-in-law!"

Several people were confused for a while.

Shit, you’re really taking us to meet your mother-in-law?

Su Rui glanced at them and continued, "I know you are a little surprised, but there is nothing I can do about it. This is my first time meeting my mother-in-law, so I have to bring some gifts. You are all wanted criminals with different levels, two A-level and three B-level. My mother-in-law is a criminal investigator, so isn't this a perfect match?"

Yuan Cheng and others were dumbfounded. Your mother-in-law is really a police officer!

And he's a criminal investigator?

After hearing this, the five people's faces suddenly turned pale.

What the hell!

You are a fucking devil!
It’s your first time to meet your mother-in-law, why does it have to do with us?

Shouldn't I buy some gifts to please my mother-in-law?

How can you give it as a gift?

Is this something you would do as a human being?
You can send it back if you want, but don’t harm us!
Even though the five people were tied up, they struggled hard.

At first, when they were captured by Su Rui, they didn’t have much to think about. As long as the other party didn’t dare to kill them, they would always have a chance to escape.

But at this moment, hearing the other party's intention to hand them over to their mother-in-law who was a criminal police officer, they were frightened out of their wits.

Based on what they have done, every one of them should be sentenced to life imprisonment at least, and being shot in five minutes would not be too much.
