What was going on, Lin Yue wondered. Erhu and Aniu had stood watch outside the workshop all night and hadn't discovered anything. Not a single red sweet potato from the thirty or forty pounds was missing. Could they just vanish into thin air? It wasn't like those detective shows on TV. Yet, here she was, stumbling onto such a strange occurrence. A flicker of interest sparked within Lin Yue, and she was eager to find out how the thief had stolen the sweet potatoes. She looked closely around the room where the potatoes were stored, searching for clues.
After a thorough search inside and out, no evidence came to light. The lock on the door was intact, without a single sign of being tampered with. This room was specifically designed for storage, and apart from a small ventilation hole high up on the wall, which not even a child's head could fit through, there was no other way in or out except for the locked door.
