A case involving 45 grams of gold that seemingly vanished into thin air left the suspect with empty hands. Where did the stolen goods disappear to? A sharp analysis and bold deduction by a new police officer, born after the year 2000, led to the truth being literally "unstitched" from a doll's seams.

At 12:40 PM on March 7, the Wenzhou Public Security Bureau received a report from a resident about a home burglary. Gold jewelry weighing 45 grams, valued at tens of thousands of yuan, had mysteriously disappeared.

After receiving the alert, Chen Haoze, a new officer born after 2000 from the Beibaixiang Police Station in Yueqing, rushed to the scene to investigate. The investigation quickly focused on a man dressed in black. It was confirmed that the suspect, surnamed Li, had already taken a taxi to Yueqing Railway Station and was preparing to board a high-speed train to flee the city.

With time being critical, Officer Chen immediately led colleagues to the railway station. Upon entering the waiting hall, he spotted Li purchasing a ticket nearby and promptly apprehended him. A thorough inspection of Li's personal belongings revealed only the clothes he had changed out of after the crime; the stolen gold was not found on him.

Officer Chen decisively took Li back to his residence in Beibaixiang Town for a search. However, after scouring the room, the gold was still nowhere to be found. "The suspect was in a hurry to leave the city by train but wasn't carrying the stolen goods. Could he have mailed them?" After the search yielded no results, Officer Chen shrewdly speculated that Li might have used a parcel delivery service to move the loot.

Officer Chen then checked Li's mobile phone and indeed found that Li had sent out a suspicious package at 14:00 that same day. With his lie exposed, Li confessed. He admitted that while wandering near the victim's home around noon, he noticed the door was unlocked and decided to commit the burglary. After successfully stealing the gold, he hid it inside a doll and mailed it, planning to travel by high-speed train to another city to receive the package himself. He did not expect the police to see through his plan.

Around 16:00, Officer Chen rushed to the courier station to urgently intercept the package. Upon opening it and taking out one of the dolls, he used a blade to cut open the stitching. Several pieces of gold jewelry, hidden inside, were finally revealed. This breakthrough came less than four hours after the initial report was received.

"Thank you so much!" On the afternoon of March 9, the victim, Mr. Chen, arrived at the police station with a banner of appreciation and repeatedly expressed his gratitude while shaking Officer Chen's hand. Currently, suspect Li has been subjected to criminal compulsory measures by the public security organ for suspected burglary, and the case is under further investigation.

From receiving the report to uncovering the scheme, from apprehending the thief at the station to finding the gold in the doll, this successful operation deserves praise for the police officers involved.
