Lin Yuan frowned slightly. Although she spoke confidently, she couldn't help but feel a sense of dread when considering the matter further. What if it wasn't a petty thief who visited their home, but a violent bandit or robber? What if Lin Jiaxin hadn't prepared mousetraps in advance, or if the traps had failed to catch the thief? That could be a life-threatening situation!
"No, this won't do. If the thief is someone from our village, we must catch him quickly!" Lin Yuan was getting restless. "What did the village head and the others say?"
"That's exactly what the village head said. He had several of the most upright men in the village patrol around. It really worked, too. It's been seven or eight days now, and that thief hasn't shown up again!" Lin Wei couldn't help but laugh.
That was indeed a good method, but Lin Yuan knew that such measures were only temporary solutions. The most fundamental approach was to catch the thief.
