This is so strange. Where did the thief come in? And where did he go out? The most important question is how did he know where the necklace was hidden?

What is unexpected is that despite four months of investigation, not even a single suspect has been found. The Security Bureau immediately ordered a secret investigation into the inside story of Long Futao's family and his financial status.

The result was very surprising. Although Long Futao's family lived a luxurious life on the surface, in fact, the economic situation was very bad and the amount of debt was extremely large.

In this way, the truth comes out. The Long Futao couple may have been forced by financial constraints to sell the necklace secretly to pay off their debts, but they were afraid that others would lose their face if they found out, so they reported it to a thief. Other than that, there is probably no

There is another explanation. In this way, the Security Bureau closed the case.

However, when rumors spread that the necklace was stolen, Long Futao's credit suffered a huge loss. The situation was the same as what the Security Bureau investigated. Long Futao was heavily in debt, and the previous creditors had this in mind: "If they can't repay,

If so, then let him sell the necklace to pay off the debt."

Therefore, people lent money to him without fear. But when the news came out that the necklace had been stolen, all the creditors came to collect debts.

For this reason, Long Futao himself was very anxious. He gritted his teeth and transferred or mortgaged the large area of ​​land left by his ancestors. In the end, it took a lot of effort to send away those debt collectors. If there were no ancestral land, I am afraid that

Long Futao went bankrupt long ago.

Long Futao was very depressed. His life was no longer as luxurious as in the past. He rarely attended banquets and often lived a lonely life at home alone.

The lady's temper was getting worse and worse, and she would find trouble with the servants at every turn. She was even more cruel to the young widow Anne, and finally drove her away.

Annie, who was helpless and in a miserable situation, led her son, Ding Ding, away from Long Futao's residence with a small package under her arm and tears in her eyes.

"It's so pitiful. She has no support, not to mention she has such a young child. I really don't know where she can go."

"Little Tintin is so pitiful!"

The servants watched the mother and son go out. Occasionally, Anne turned back to look at everyone, also looking at the vast house, and then left dejectedly.

One day a few months later, Mrs. Long received a letter from Anne. After reading the letter, she exclaimed "Oh!" and then read the letter again, but she could not understand what was in the letter.

The content of this letter is really like a mystery——

lady:

I really don’t know how to express my gratitude to you more appropriately. You have indeed given me great help. For me, who lives a poor life in this remote countryside, the arrival of that huge amount of money really seems like a blessing.

God's gifts are ordinary.

At that time, I really felt very strange, madam, how did you know my current address? Since I left your apartment, I have never let anyone know that I live in this remote village.

Neither my close friend nor the servants in the house had any contact with each other.

However, no matter what, I can't believe that you would send me such a large amount of money. At first, I didn't know who sent me the money. Later, I thought about it and found that except for you, madam, no other person would.

Miss me so much.

Madam, thank you very much. No, please allow me to say thank you again.

Anne

"Ah, what on earth is going on?"

The lady was extremely surprised. At this time, she was burdened by foreign debts, so how could she have money to send to Anne?

So, she wrote a reply, explaining that she had never sent money to anyone, and that this must be a misunderstanding. At this time, she received another reply from Anne——

lady:

Your letter really makes me unable to understand. Could there be anyone else besides my wife who would mail me such a large amount of money? The money is neither registered nor a money order, but is sandwiched in a regular letter.

In the middle are two banknotes with a face value of one thousand gold dollars. Please return the envelope as it is.

Anne

The postmark on the envelope attached to the letter was from Dongzhou. The sender was not named, but the recipient was "Annie" and other words, which looked very much like the lady's handwriting.

However, Madam has not sent many letters recently, and she felt a little uneasy when receiving such a letter, so she immediately sent the letter to the Security Bureau. However, except for the postmark of Dongzhou as evidence, there is nothing else to check.

location, so the sender cannot be found.

However, one year passed, and the same thing continued to happen, this time it was the same two thousand gold yuan. The second year, the third year... it continued for six years, and the same two thousand gold yuan was given each year. And the first one was the same.

In the fifth and sixth years, because Anne could not engage in side business to supplement the family income, the other party doubled the amount of money sent, sending four thousand gold yuan each year.

Since every time I send it by regular mail, sometimes the letter is detained by the post office because it does not meet the specifications (according to the post office regulations, cash is not allowed to be sent in regular mail), so next time it will be sent by registered mail, but

, registered mail items must be written with the name and address of the sender, so the sender's name column is "Ankadi" and it was sent from the North District Post Office. The subsequent letter was "Shureno"

The name was sent from the East District Post Office. The Security Bureau once asked people to investigate the sender, but based on the address written on the letter, the result was that the person was not found at all, so the name was obviously forged.
Chapter completed!
