While Lin Family Village was bustling, Sun's courtyard was lively too.
Yuan Chun took a day off from the factory and went to the police station to report the case. Soon, two police officers came to her house to investigate.
Yuan Chun said, "Officers, my courtyard wall is built high, it's impossible for a thief to climb over. Moreover, there's no sign of tampering on my courtyard gate and the house door locks. Last night, when I returned from the movies with friends, the locks were intact, but the lock on the box inside was pried open. I suspect the thieves used a key to get into my house."
The officers inspected the courtyard, yet found no footprints or signs of climbing inside or outside the yard.
No clues were left on the door, but inside the house, all cabinet doors were open and clothes were scattered messily. The locks on the two boxes were broken, evidently forced open.
