Four days later, Xuezi and I arrived at the airport with our luggage.After completing the relevant procedures at the service desk, we were about to have a cup of coffee to pass the time, when a greeting came from behind us.Looking back, the female lawyer named Casey was walking towards us. "Great, finally caught up." She looked at us and smiled. "Are you here to see us off? Thank you so much." "I don't want you to leave here with a bad impression of Costa Rica." "We didn't think there was anything wrong here." I frowned, "It's just bad luck this time."

"Then you are welcome to come here again to improve your luck." She smiled and winked at us. We found a coffee station and chatted while drinking coffee. "Is the money problem settled?" she asked. "Yes, the credit card company gave me a temporary card that can be used for one month. In addition, although the traveler's check has been cashed by the robber, the issuing agency found that the handwriting of the signature was different and returned the money to us. " "And what about the things you were robbed of?" "My photographic equipment is insured, and the loss is not serious. Just pay back the camera that my friend borrowed."

"Nick's camera." She smiled, "Thanks to this camera, we can find clues to solve the case." "So I have to thank him extra," I said. Why was the battery cover in my wallet? Xuezi and I racked our brains, and finally recalled the scene when I opened my pocket in the police car and the coins scattered on the ground.The battery cover should have been picked up as a coin and put into the wallet at that time.Which means the battery cover fell off the police car long before we even got in it. Then we further recalled the scene when we were called into the police car by the police that day.Judging from the actions of the policeman, it seemed that he knew what happened to us a long time ago.

We called lawyers and talked about these ideas.She quickly understood what we meant and quickly got in touch with the police.The police car was immediately searched and a button battery was recovered.The policeman confessed readily upon questioning. According to the confession of the policeman, he and the two robbers met in a betting match in a certain bar.The two robbers lost a bet and owed him a debt.The two had no money to repay their debts and were in a dilemma, so he took the opportunity to order them to help monitor the whereabouts of single tourists. That day, the police learned from the female staff member in the tourist service center that a Japanese couple from Canada was going to visit the national park, so they told the two robbers according to the usual practice. There was a big mold.

The pair then returned to the police and showed him the loot from the robbery.The battery cover probably fell into the police car around that time.According to the policeman, he didn't know that the two had become robbers until then.The two should have been arrested immediately, but when he thought that he was the one who provided the victim's information, for fear of becoming an accomplice, he decided to conceal the truth of the incident.At the same time, he felt very sorry for the Japanese couple, so he found us in a police car and sent us back to the hotel. "Do you think the police are telling the truth?" I asked, taking a sip of my coffee.

"It's probably a lie." She replied, "There must be an agreement between them to share the spoils, so they will focus on you. The robbery incident that happened three weeks ago was probably caused by a few of them. In addition, I think He let you take the police car not out of apology, but for other reasons. First, he wants to probe your mouth and see how much you know about the identity of the robber. Second, he wants to delay the time for you to call the police. Just wandering round and round the town." "I see." "However, he never thought that his actions would become a fatal injury. You actually saw the stolen camera parts in the police car."

"What's more, he let us meet you, they are really unlucky." After hearing this, she smiled brightly, showing a row of white teeth, "I'm so glad to hear you say that." The two culprits left the snatched rental car in the airport parking lot and disappeared without a trace.The female lawyer estimates that the police are not very motivated to hunt down the two prisoners, and the case may be difficult to solve.I secretly agree in my heart. When it was time to board the plane, we stood up. "Please come and play again," she said. "We'll definitely come over when we're lucky." I readily agreed, but my heart murmured: How dare I come to this kind of place for a second time.

Five and a half hours later, we returned to Toronto, Canada, and took a taxi back to our residence, exhausted.Along the way, familiar towns gradually flashed before my eyes. I have never felt that I miss this place so much. We got off at Princess Avenue.The grass in the courtyard is luxuriant, and the brick buildings are beautiful and tidy.We are finally home. A note was pasted on the door, which read in marker: "Welcome home Ted & Ann" The scrawl was undoubtedly the handiwork of Mr. Taniaba, who may have been asked by Grace to do so.The moment I saw this note, all my strength suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't stand anymore, so I squatted down.At this time, Xuezi beside him suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".
