The Thief Might Still Be Around
"At about 20:30, he came downstairs and told us what had happened an hour ago," Mr. Zhao said. At that time, he and Xiao Liang's parents were all frightened. However, Xiao Liang said, "I finished my homework before coming downstairs."
It is understood that Xiao Liang is in the fifth grade.
During the incident, the boy did not cry; after the thief left, the boy managed to free himself, then continued doing his homework calmly. After nearly an hour of finishing his homework, he went downstairs to inform his parents.
"Why didn't you immediately go downstairs to tell your parents after untying yourself?" Xiao Liang replied, "There was nothing valuable at home anyway, and the money was carried by my parents." Subsequently, Xiao Liang added, "There was nothing good to eat at home either."
Since it was already very late and nothing was missing from the house, Xiao Liang's parents decided to wait until dawn to report the incident to the police.
Currently, the criminal investigation department of Yingzhou District in Fuyang City is investigating this case.
At around 19:30 on February 9, Xiao Liang's parents were working on the second floor of the hotpot restaurant, while Xiao Liang was alone in the dormitory on the fifth floor doing his homework.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Liang dared not move. He didn't know how long it had been, but when he felt no movement in the room, he struggled hard with his hands and quickly freed them. Then, he pulled off the cloth covering his head.
"Were you afraid at the time?" "Not too afraid." On February 15, when faced with the reporter's question, Xiao Liang said that the thief wasn't too fierce.
After finishing his homework, he informed his parents
On February 9, an indoor theft occurred in the employee dormitory on the fifth floor of "Mengyuanju Feiyang Hot Pot City" on Yinghe West Road in Yingzhou District. At the time of the incident, there was only a 10-year-old boy named Xiao Liang (a pseudonym) in the room.
Morning Post News - A 10-year-old boy was alone in the employee dormitory doing his homework when suddenly someone covered his head with a cloth, tied his hands behind his back, and pushed him onto the bed face down. Then, they started rummaging through things. The boy realized: there was a thief in the room.
Subsequently, Xiao Liang's family and Mr. Zhao reported the incident to the police together.
After hearing about the incident, the family quickly checked Xiao Liang's body and relaxed only after confirming that he was indeed unharmed. Then, Xiao Liang and his father went back to the room to check and confirmed that the thief had only taken a few packets of instant noodles.
"Fortunately, the child didn't immediately run out to call for help at the time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Xiao Liang's parents said that the thief must have gone to steal from Mr. Zhao's house after failing to find money in their place.
Indoor Thief Ties Up a 10-Year-Old Boy
When Xiao Liang was continuing with his homework, suddenly someone covered his head with a cloth, tied his hands behind his back, and pushed him onto the bed face down, then began rummaging through things.
"The door to the room was open," Xiao Liang said. Before the incident, he had heard footsteps outside the door, "A man wearing a hat walked past, and I thought this person was going to the toilet at the west end of the corridor, so I didn't pay attention."
However, what no one could have imagined was that instead of running downstairs to find his parents who were working on the second floor, Xiao Liang quietly walked to the door, locked it from the inside, and then calmly continued doing his homework at the table until all his homework was done.
"I heard him say 'so much food, why is there no money' while he was rummaging through things," Xiao Liang said. The thief probably didn't find any money, so he took whatever he could find.
In fact, Xiao Liang mentioned another important reason, "I was afraid that person hadn't left yet, and since there was no one on the third or fourth floors, if I went down and met him, it would be bad."

"He rummaged for a while, asked me if I had any money on me, I said no, then he searched my pockets and said 'don't move, if you move, I will hit your head with a stick.'" Xiao Liang recalled that he realized the intruder was a thief, and the voice belonged to a man. After searching his pockets, the thief continued to search around the room.
Who knew that the next morning, they heard that the thief had also "visited" Mr. Zhao's residence next door, where he lost 600 yuan in cash.
