"This problem is probably not easy to handle," Wang Dachui frowned and said in a deep voice. The incident Qin Mu described had no surveillance, making it impossible to trace the real culprit. In such a case, it was a matter for other departments. "We in the legal field can't really handle matters that far removed. And thefts like this one are actually the hardest to solve. It's difficult to have witnesses who saw it happen, unless you catch them red-handed with the goods. Plus, without surveillance, there's no way to pinpoint the real perpetrator. Without evidence like stolen goods, witness testimony, or fingerprints, it's almost impossible to crack the case."
"Unless the culprit exposes themselves," Wang Dachui shook his head and sighed softly. Fortunately, Qin Mu had only lost a feedback letter. Nothing of great value was gone.
Actually, in recent years, with the rapid development of express delivery services and e-commerce, package theft incidents have become quite common. If there's surveillance, it's easy to find the main culprit. Without surveillance, it's very difficult. These are two extremes.
"Then I'll have to think of another way," Qin Mu nodded. Wang Dachui's analysis was not wrong. Cases like these are tough to solve. Moreover, with the value being low, the effort put into investigation isn't high. And with express companies offering compensation, victims usually don't delve too deeply into the matter.
But after thinking it through, he still felt he couldn't let this go. Even though the value of the items isn't high, now that I've encountered this behavior, I have to put an end to it, no matter what! When the 'scare blind box' arrives, I'll see the effect. Even if I can't find the person, at least I'll scare them enough so they won't dare to steal again!
He took a deep breath. He opened the delivery information and saw that the seller had shipped the order. It would be delivered by tomorrow.
「The next afternoon.」
In the Mountain and Water Garden District, Xu Leshan, pretending to be a regular person picking up a delivery, entered the courier station. He looked around furtively, pretending to search for his own package. After confirming there was no surveillance around, he took advantage of the crowded shop, selecting a few small, easy-to-carry items from a pile of parcels. He blended into the crowd and slipped away quietly. His movements and expressions were completely natural throughout. Even the owner responsible for scanning and out-processing parcels did not notice anything amiss.
After leaving the courier station, he strode boldly into the Mountain and Water Garden District, returning to his own home. Once home, he couldn't wait to open his parcels.
I wonder what I'll find this time, he thought, holding the scissors, his expression somewhat excited. Ever since he discovered the courier station without surveillance, he had visited several times. Every time, he managed to take a few packages, completely undetected. What he enjoyed most was actually the process of opening the packages. Before opening them, he didn't know what was inside or how valuable it might be. It was a game of chance every time.
Take last time, for instance. He took a few packages, but his luck was terrible. What he found was either a feedback letter or daily items like toothbrushes and bedclothes, hardly worth much money. After so many thefts, the most valuable item he had gotten was an iPhone 13, which he immediately sold.
"Tape? What is this?" Upon opening the first package, Xu Leshan's expression soured. To make them easy to carry and inconspicuous, he had chosen only small items. Their value could be high or low, quite unpredictable.
Next, he opened the second package. This time he was in luck, finding a bar of soap.
"..."
Xu Leshan, undeterred, continued to open the third package.
Another ID card? While opening it, he suddenly saw an ID card included within. Frustrated, he cut the ID card into several pieces. Being a thief, I definitely can't return these items to their original owners, and they're no use to me. Might as well destroy them. This was how he had dealt with many of the stolen packages before: keeping usable items like toothbrushes for himself, and destroying the unusable ones, then throwing them away as trash. The valuable items were sold.
"Only one left." After opening a few packages, Xu Leshan turned his attention to the last box.
I hope this box brings me a surprise, he murmured, picked up the scissors, and skillfully started cutting it open. He swiftly opened the package and found a securely wrapped small box inside, which looked like some valuable item.
Just by looking, I can tell it's something good! Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he tore off the wrapping and opened it.
「Evening.」
In the Mountain and Water Garden District, after work, Qin Mu went straight to the courier station.
"My package... is gone again?" After the owner searched for a while, Qin Mu's expression became a bit strange.
The owner, Yi Xiangyang, looked at him and said with a wry smile, "You're really unlucky. I've never seen anyone lose packages twice in a row before. What did you lose? Was it valuable? Let me make a note of it."
Having dealt with many theft cases, he was now much calmer. Although he needed to offer compensation due to his negligence, aside from an iPhone 13, there hadn't been any other particularly valuable items. Most of them were daily necessities.
"It wasn't expensive, just a blind box worth a few dozen yuan," Qin Mu shrugged, speaking casually, with a touch of anticipation.
It looks like my blind box must have been taken by the thief. I just wonder if the effect is as exaggerated as the seller claimed.
"A blind box, that's not too bad. Don't worry, we will install surveillance in the shop tomorrow, covering all angles with no blind spots. This won't happen again!"
