Under the dim street light, Jeff dropped a cigarette butt that was almost burned to the filter on the ground.

immediately,

His eyes quickly looked to both sides, and at the same time he habitually stepped on the cigarette butt with the sole of his leather shoe and rubbed it back and forth.

"Hiss... damn..."

Jeff shook his feet hard, forgetting that the soles of his shoes had already been worn very thin and almost breathable, and now the soles of his feet were burned.

The evening wind was blowing back and forth on the street with a chilly chill. There were not many pedestrians on the road anymore. A few people in the distance were hurriedly walking on the road wearing hats and scarves with their heads lowered.

Jeff turned up the collar of his coat. The collars on both sides were shiny due to stains, but at this moment, it gave him a sense of security that he was being hidden and protected.

In front is No. 128 Mink Street. From No. 50 to No. 200, they are all townhouses. Whether they buy or rent here, the people who live here will probably not be rich, but at least they can be considered middle class.

The house in front of me is a family of three. The male owner is a doctor, the female owner is a teacher, and they have a seven-year-old son.

A maid will come to clean and tidy the house during the day, but the maid will not stay overnight and will go home after preparing dinner.

In addition, this family has a habit of going out to the theater to watch performances every Saturday night.

The door was opened, and the man in a black suit walked out first and started the car parked at the door;

Then, the hostess, who was wearing a red dress, led the child out of the door. After closing the door, she and the child got into her husband's car, talking and laughing.

Subsequently,

The car drove away.

Jeff licked his upper and lower lips with his tongue, stepped forward quickly, jumped over the low wooden fence that even a small dog could not stop, fell into the flower garden, then quickly walked up the steps and took out a handful from his pocket.

Key, insert.

"Kacha..."

A crisp sound indicates the door has been opened successfully.

Three months ago, when Jeff, who was still a worker for a moving company, provided moving services for this family, the hostess trusted the moving company and gave the key to their new home. Jeff took this opportunity to secretly get one.

It's just that he was still hesitating whether to steal at that time. He had already lost almost everything;

Now, he didn't have to hesitate, because not only did he have nothing, he was also in debt.

After opening the door, Jeff stepped in and quickly closed the door.

"After tonight, you should be able to understand why you need new locks after moving."

The first floor is an open kitchen and dining room, plus a nanny's room in the northwest corner.

Jeff went directly to the second floor. He did not turn on the light, but turned on the flashlight he brought. The light of the flashlight was a bit unstable.

"Damn..."

Jeff cursed silently again. He knew it was because the battery was low, but that was also because he spent the money he originally planned to buy the battery on to buy a pack of 5-rupee "Morf" cigarettes.

I tapped the flashlight with my elbow several times, and the flashlight became brighter than before.

The second floor is the couple’s master bedroom plus a small study room and a bathroom;

As for the third floor, because it is an attic, it is only used as the children's bedroom.

Jeff pushed open the door of the master bedroom, and what he saw was a large bed and various quaint cabinets. He knew that there was a high probability that this valuable thing would be in this master bedroom. Of course, before leaving, he would still check it out again.

Go to the small study and take a look.

"Hiss...hiss..."

The friction sound of electric current and the sound of snowflakes came.

"Welcome to "Luo Jia Storytelling Program", I am your old friend... Alfred, the moonlight tonight is beautiful. Under such a beautiful moonlight, no matter what you do, it seems to be accompanied by a wave of excitement.

the taste of happiness……"

Jeff was startled by the sudden sound. When he looked down, he realized it was an old peanut tube radio.

"Damn it, people have left home, don't they know how to save on electricity bills?"

Jeff reached out and turned off the radio.

Then, he began to look through the dresser cabinets in the room. Generally speaking, the hostess likes to put some frequently worn jewelry and household living expenses here. Of course, it would be great if he could find a jewelry box next.

"Kacha..."

At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard on the first floor.

Jeff was so frightened that he almost jumped.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of high heels going up the stairs, and the goal was clear, heading towards the bedroom.

Jeff immediately pushed the drawer back and turned off the flashlight.

He is just a thief, not a robber. Stealing and robbing are two completely different concepts, even if they are convicted in court.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have the courage to be a robber at all!

The sound of high heels came quickly and with a little urgency.

Jeff didn't have time to think too much about anything else, he could only lie down, turned sideways, and rolled into the bottom of the bed.

"Squeak..."

Almost at the same time, the bedroom door was pushed open.

"Snapped!"

The light is turned on.

Jeff, who was doing "pseudo plank support" under the bed, saw a pair of red high-heeled shoes walking to the dressing table. After a messy search, he seemed to find a small medicine jar, and there was a crisp sound of the medicine being poured out.

Finally there is the sound of swallowing.

Immediately afterwards,

Just a series of gasps of relief.

Jeff saw the woman's high heels paused in front of the dressing table for a long time. Then, the woman stood up and the high heels began to move.

“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”

The phone rang.

The high heels left the bed and walked towards the coffee table under the window sill, where the phone was placed.

The woman answered the phone:

"Yes Yes."

"Uh-huh."

"Originally I planned to go with them, but I suddenly fell ill and had to come back to take medicine. Let them go tonight while I rest at home."

"It's okay, don't worry, thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

The woman hung up the phone, turned around, and walked towards the bed.

"Click."

He stepped on his heels and took off his shoes. The high heels almost fell in front of Jeff. The distance was so close that Jeff could even smell the smell coming from the shoes.

Immediately, the bed shook,

The woman should have just lied down on the bed,

He also let out a long and comfortable sigh,

Obviously,

After working during the day, she was separated from family activities with her husband and children, and finally had a moment of leisure. Even if it was due to physical reasons, it was very pleasant to think about it.

Under the bed, Jeff began to think about what he should do.

He now regrets that he should have covered his face in advance. If he had known that it was just a woman going home alone, he could have covered her face and threatened her, told her not to move, and then left.

I believe that a woman would not dare to act rashly on her own, and before he has time to steal anything, the other party...maybe it will be more trouble than less trouble, and he may not even call the police!

But, just think about it.

Even if there was a woman lying on the bed now, Jeff didn't have the courage to get out from under the bed and threaten her.

Jeff opened his mouth as wide as possible and began to let himself breathe silently to relieve the tension at this time.

Wait for the woman to fall asleep, wait for the woman to fall asleep,

After she falls asleep, before her husband and children come back, she can sneak out from under the bed quietly and leave safely without disturbing anyone.

The woman lying on the bed was humming a song, and there was the sound of turning pages in her hands.

Damn it, why aren't you sleeping yet?

Jeff didn't know how long the woman above had been reading, because he was under the bed and had lost all awareness of the passage of time.

finally,

"Snapped."
