Have you ever lost your belongings, or have someone close to you have lost your belongings? But strangely, this phenomenon recurs every Thursday. Just like Ms. Jin Yu in Shanghai, for the past four years, she has lost her money every Thursday, and what is even more puzzling is that all this money has mysteriously disappeared from her own home.
To this day, Ms. Kim has yet to find the answer behind this. Over the years, she has lost millions of dollars. So why did Ms. Kim's money disappear from her own home?
What is the secret of this question?
Ms. Jin is a doctor who owns a private clinic that provides medical services and a Chinese medicine massage program that earns a significant income. Ms. Kim has a habit of taking her turnover home every day and keeping it safe.
She will wait until the amount of money reaches a certain amount before depositing them in the bank. When she got home from work, the first thing Ms. Kim did was put the money in the bedside table in her bedroom and locked it up.
While there was a safety hazard to keep large amounts of cash at home, there had never been any accidents in years, so she wasn't overly concerned. However, one day in 2013, Ms. Kim intended to deposit the money in the bank.
She distinctly remembers that she had saved up enough cash for $80,000. But when she went to the bank to count the money, she was surprised to find that the money had become 79,000 yuan.
Ms. Kim found that every Thursday she found that the money in the drawer had decreased, and at first she thought she had misremembered or dropped it, but then every time she counted, the money was stolen.
She began to suspect that her husband might have taken it, but he insisted that it was not him. After thinking about it carefully, Ms. Kim felt that it was unlikely that her husband would take the money.
Ms. Kim has a long-standing habit of keeping money in a drawer, and her husband has the key to the drawer, but there has never been an incident of losing money. The money is jointly owned by the husband and wife, and if Mr. Chen takes it, it should not be sneaky.
As a veteran shareholder, Mr. Chen focuses on ** every day and does not spend much on daily expenses. Even if there is an emergency, he can use the money of ** without stealing the joint property of the husband and wife, so as not to affect the harmony of the family.
However, the money disappeared inexplicably, much to Ms. Kim's distress, and although she had told her brother about it, he did not believe her.
Ms. Kim has recently suffered a double whammy, with the death of her father and the heavy workload of the clinic, which has caused great pressure. Her mental state and memory were skewed, and she even hallucinated.
Although her family and brother advised her to rest well and pay attention to her health, Ms. Jin was deeply puzzled and uneasy about the incident. Especially on Thursdays, she would feel panicked, as if someone had cursed her.
One day, Ms. Jin, who was busy at the clinic, suddenly felt a premonition that something bad was about to happen, so she nervously put down her work and rushed home.
Ms. Kim stood in fear at the door of her house, the first time she came home, she was afraid that as soon as she opened the door, she would see robbers or find something strange going on in her home.
After repeated inner struggles, she finally mustered up the courage and slowly opened the door of the house. She cautiously walked into the house and breathed a sigh of relief when she made sure there was no one in the house.
Then, she immediately rushed to the bedroom, opened the drawer and counted the money, and as expected, the money was low again. This time she lost a full 60,000 yuan, which surprised her and even made her a little breathless.
So, she no longer suspected her hallucinations and immediately went to the police station to report the case.
Ms. Kim's story shocked her family, who initially thought she would lose hundreds or thousands of dollars a week, but now she has lost 60,000 yuan at a time. What shocked them even more was that after ** investigation, the doors, windows and bedside tables of Ms. Jin's house did not have any traces of being pried.
However, according to statistics, Ms. Jin has lost at least more than one million yuan in the past three or four years. ** It is inferred that this method of crime is regular, and the suspect is obviously very familiar with Ms. Kim's family environment and knows Ms. Kim's whereabouts well.
Ms. Kim was at the clinic every Thursday, so an interval in her home was discovered by acquaintances and became a target for theft. Ms. Jin's husband, Mr. Chen, goes out early every day**, which coincides with Ms. Jin's gap period.
* It is suspected that Mr. Chan was an acquaintance who committed the crime, as he was the person who knew Ms. Kim and her family best. However, Ms. Jin did not call the police because she was worried that her husband would lose money and that her family should not be publicized.
In recent years, ** has fluctuated, and Ms. Kim is even more worried, so she chose such a seemingly odd way to prevent theft.
According to Ms. Kim, Mr. Chen's suspicion is getting worse. As a result, Mr. Chen was routinely questioned, but he still vehemently denied it and was disappointed by his wife's distrust.
Seeing that her husband was so confident, Ms. Kim began to wonder if she had wronged him. At this time, Ms. Jin suddenly remembered that there was a part-time worker at home, and she held all the keys to the house, and it was entirely possible that she would commit a crime.
So, Ms. Kim shifted her suspicion to the hourly worker.
To solve the mystery, Ms. Kim was advised to install a small camera at home. If it is done by an hourly worker, the camera will record the theft; If Mr. Chen had done it, the installation of the camera would have a deterrent effect on him and make him have some scruples.
When Mr. Chen learned that Ms. Kim was going to install a camera, he not only did not object, but instead expressed his support and hoped to prove his innocence through the camera. The couple agreed and decided to continue to release the money and wait for the opportunity, ready to use "luring the snake out of the hole" to find out the truth.
Ms. Kim had thought that the camera she had installed would keep her belongings safe, but on Thursday, she discovered that the money in the drawer had been stolen. What's even weirder is that the camera didn't catch any suspicious figures.
Could someone turn off the camera? However, ** tells Ms. Kim that her part-time worker, Aunt Zhao, is not a thief. Aunt Zhao, a rural woman in her 50s from the countryside, knows nothing about digital gadgets, and she doesn't even know what cameras are used for, let alone turn them off.
Moreover, according to the time calculation, the time when Ms. Jin lost her money was not consistent with the time when Aunt Zhao came to work. In fact, Aunt Zhao only came to Ms. Jin's house to work after the incident.
As a result, Mr. Chan was once again the subject of suspicion.
* Doubts arose about Mr. Chan's active support for the installation of cameras in his home, believing that it might be a means for thieves to shout to catch thieves. After agreeing to install the camera, Mr. Chan may have turned off the camera while stealing money in order to escape pursuit.
When ** wanted to investigate Mr. Chen further, he came to the police station out of breath. He told ** that he knew who the thief was. After the last installation of the camera, he did not go out on Thursday, but stayed at home, preparing a trick to "wait for the rabbit".
The core idea of the new copy is that Mr. Chen may have stolen money after installing the camera and turned off the camera to evade pursuit, but he was eventually caught by **.
As expected, the thieves arrived on Thursday as scheduled. Mr. Chen was at home when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Despite his doubts, he did not open the door immediately, as the police had warned him that some thieves would knock on the door first when they shop.
So he cautiously walked to the door, but to his surprise, the sound of the key opening the door came from outside the door. Not only did the burglar know the situation in his home, but he also had the keys to it.
In a panic, Mr. Chen immediately locked the door and saw a red figure through the cat's eye. Looking at this figure, Mr. Chen felt more and more familiar, so he immediately called the police.
* Immediate action was launched and the surveillance video of Ms. Kim's elevator was retrieved. However, when Ms. Kim saw the person on surveillance, she was stunned, and Mr. Chen also expressed disbelief.
The stylish woman in the surveillance footage is wearing a red dress, but according to Ms. Kim, she is actually a former part-time worker, Bright Red Plum. For Ms. Kim, the news came as a bolt from the blue, as her relationship with Bright Red Plum over the years has gone beyond hiring and being hired, and the two are like sisters.
When she worked at Ms. Kim's house, she was very industrious, and Ms. Jin even considered giving her all the pension money after retirement. However, Bright Red Mei did not wait for that time, and she suddenly resigned in 2009 due to family affairs.
Despite this, the two kept in touch, and Scarlet Mei would visit Ms. Kim from time to time, and would bring a lot of gifts every time she came. However, Scarlet's family is not in a good financial situation, how did she suddenly become so rich?
She can even afford a mobile phone worth 4,000 yuan. Ms. Kim was curious, but she didn't ask, and she guessed that Sin Hong Mei might have found a better place to work.
After thinking about it, Ms. Jin found that the loss of her money happened to happen after Xian Hongmei resigned, so she began to investigate her. After investigation, ** found that Xian Hongmei would order a plane ticket from her hometown in Sichuan to Shanghai every week, and this time happened to be around Thursday.
This makes ** even more convinced that Bright Red Plum is a thief. Then, ** came to the bank again and investigated Xian Hongmei's bank statements, thus basically determining her identity as a suspect.
It turned out that Xian Hongmei would go to the bank every week or two to deposit a large sum of money, and in the past four years, the total turnover reached 1.1 million yuan, which was very close to the amount of loss estimated by Ms. Jin.
* By studying Scarlet Mei's modus operandi, it is believed that she will strike again. Since she has never missed a shot over the years, she has apparently developed this habit. Therefore, ** was placed under control at Ms. Kim's house, waiting for her to show up and arrest her.
On Thursday, the bright red plum reappeared. Mr. Chen waited at home, and after the bright red plum knocked on the door, she slowly opened the door. Mr. Chen immediately restrained her and then took her back to the police station for interrogation.
During the interrogation, Sin Hong Mei told ** that she knew Ms. Kim's careless character, so if only a little bit of each envelope was taken, Ms. Kim would not find out in a short time.
In this way, she can commit crimes for a long time, and she will gain many times more than taking tens of thousands of yuan at a time.
Scarlet Plum's well-thought-out decision turned out to be the right one. Stealing a large amount of money at once will attract immediate attention, in contrast, with a gradual approach, after a long period of accumulation, she has obtained a wealth far beyond those tens of thousands of yuan.
As for why Xian Hongmei held the key to Ms. Jin's house, she had premeditated it and secretly made the key to Ms. Jin's house before she resigned. When asked why she had to steal again when she knew someone was home after the last theft, Xian Hongmei's answer was the same as that of **, because she was used to stealing and couldn't help but want to try again.
Some people often wonder why the camera was suddenly turned off since it wasn't Mr. Chen's money. Could it be that the bright red plum has the ability to predict? However, this is not the case.
Later, Ms. Jin invited a repairman to inspect it, only to realize that the quality of the camera she bought was very poor, and the camera was turned off only a quality problem. This allowed Scarlet Plum to get away with it.
At this point, the four-year-old Thursday curse was finally broken, and Bright Red Plum was also punished by the law.
