Chapter 258 The Hotel Was Robbed

Looking at the empty drawer, Bang Geng kicked the counter.

"Damn it, how come there is no money at all?" Banggeng was a little thirsty after working for a long time. After seeing that he had been drawing water with a bamboo basket - all in vain, Banggeng was indeed a little frustrated. Only then did he remember that he seemed to have heard rumors about Lee Seung-ri before.

I heard that he was targeted because he brought the restaurant's turnover home every day. Four young men planned to rob him on the way, but all four of them had their legs broken by Lee Seung-ri, and were sent to prison by Lee Seung-ri.

Banggeng slapped his head in annoyance, wondering how could he have forgotten about this.

Banggeng looked around vigilantly, it seemed that he had made a wasted trip this time.

Banggeng was a little unwilling. He thought that it would be a bad omen if he didn't get anything in his first try. Besides, he couldn't come here again in the future. Banggeng thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Then Banggeng picked up a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda from the shelf next to him.

Banggeng didn't dare to make any big noise, otherwise he would have planned to smash everything in there. Now he had to just pick up a bottle of drink and drink it, then with the help of his flashlight, he picked up a few bottles of wine from the shelf behind the counter. Banggeng didn't know which wine was more expensive, so he just picked up a few bottles at random.

After doing all this, Banggeng locked the door with a "click", and then sneaked back to the courtyard quietly while avoiding the patrol.

In front of Lee Seung-ri's house in the front yard, Bang Geng even made a gesture of throwing something.

Unaware of what Bang Geng had done, Lee Seung-ri was still sleeping soundly at home.

The next morning, Li Shengli got up early. Today he had an appointment with his apprentice to go to the vegetable market.

After thinking about it all night, Li Shengli decided to hand over some of the work in the restaurant to his two apprentices after the New Year. There was no need to keep himself so busy.

Riding his bike to the vegetable market, Li Shengli found his apprentice at the entrance of the market.

"Come on, Yonglin, I'll teach you some techniques for picking vegetables and meat." Li Shengli took his apprentice into the vegetable market.

The chef's hands must be steady. For example, Li Shengli can roughly estimate the weight of a piece of meat by just shaking his hand. The seasonings in Chinese recipes are all in small amounts, so the chef needs to estimate it himself.

After teaching his apprentice a skill in the vegetable market, Li Shengli planned to give all these jobs to them. After teaching them a series of little tricks, Fang Yonglin was stunned.

After buying the food, they rode their bikes to the restaurant.

"Something's wrong." Li Shengli grabbed Fang Yonglin. It was not like this when he left yesterday.

However, Lee Seung-ri was not too worried. There was nothing in his bowl except some wine and drinks. Lee Seung-ri's habit was to take all the daily groceries home.

"What's wrong? Master!" Fang Yonglin looked at Li Shengli with some confusion.

"A thief broke into the restaurant last night." Li Shengli explained, looking at the footprints at the door of his restaurant, "Yonglin, ride your bike to the police station."

Li Shengli ordered his apprentice to go to the police station while he waited at the door.

Even if nothing was stolen from the restaurant, the police should still be called. However, Li Shengli didn't expect that someone would target the restaurant. There was nothing inside, so going to a convenience store would be better than going to a restaurant.

Li Shengli was wondering in his mind whether his restaurant had offended someone.

What puzzled Lee Seung-ri was that if he had offended someone, wouldn't that mean he would lose his job?

After a while, the police station comrades followed Fang Yonglin over. "Comrade, thank you for your help." Li Shengli stood up and greeted them.

The police officer from the police station who arrived smiled at the door that Li Shengli had not opened. Even the crime scene was not destroyed.

The police officers from the police station first checked the footprints in front of the door. The footprints showed the length and size. The police officers from the police station first measured it with a ruler and then recorded it.

"Master Li, open the door and let's go in and take a look." The police officer from the police station pointed to the door lock that had not been opened.

Li Shengli walked up and opened the door of the restaurant. There was no change in the restaurant, except that the area in front of the counter was a little messy.

"Master Li, please take a look at the losses in your restaurant first." The police officer quickly asked Li Shengli to take a look at what was lost, and then he looked around the restaurant.

Li Shengli checked and found that nothing was missing except a few bottles of wine.

And because this counter had been visited by people before, there was no way to see any clues.

Afterwards, the police officers from the police station had to register Li Shengli’s loss and roughly estimate the size of the criminal’s feet.

"Master Li, it's not easy to find the thief in your situation?" The police officer from the police station said to Li Shengli with a wry smile.

There were no footprints in the room, and no signs of anyone entering the window. The most important thing was that the shoes the thief wore were very ordinary shoes. Another thing was that Lee Seung-ri only lost a few bottles of wine.

"It's okay, comrade, I understand." For a small case like this, let alone at this time, even if there is no surveillance decades later, the perpetrators will not be found.

The police officers from the police station were relieved to hear what Li Shengli said. After recording the case, they left.

"Yonglin, go in and clean up." Li Shengli didn't expect to catch the thief, "I'll go buy two clamps."

Li Shengli turned his brain and thought for a while. Bang Geng was a little abnormal last night. Could it be that he stole it? Bang Geng has indeed become a bad boy recently.

Li Shengli had no evidence and it was difficult for him to make it public, so he planned to buy two animal traps. If any thief came to him in the future, he would be in big trouble.

After Li Shengli came back with the traps, the other people had also arrived. The four of them were talking about the thieves in the restaurant. Li Shengli told them that he was going to place traps in the store before leaving in the evening, and asked them to be careful when they came in the morning.

"It's okay, boss. You're the first one to arrive at the store anyway." Xiaohui was not worried at all. Every morning, Li Shengli came to the store to buy vegetables, and by the time others arrived, the store had already been cleaned up.

"Hey, you guys are smart. Even if I came early, you should have been more careful. This thing is very powerful. Be careful not to break your bones." Li Shengli gave Xiaohui an unpleasant look.

Xiaohui laughed twice and did not refute Li Shengli's words.

After setting up the traps, several days later, Li Shengli discovered that his shop had been robbed again. No things were stolen, but the door was open and the small animal trap placed in the shop was missing.

When he got the news, Li Shengli was completely confused. Could it be that there were really stupid thieves who continued to come to the hotel to steal? After returning home, Li Shengli heard from several gossipy aunties in the compound that Jia's Bang Geng seemed to be injured.

Lee Seung-ri almost laughed out loud when he heard this. What happened before was really a great joke. However, Lee Seung-ri didn't expect that he would enter his own restaurant for the second time. He didn't steal the money the first time. Didn't he know that there was no money in his restaurant? Why did he do it the second time?
