As usual, the police found Li to inquire about the situation, and the other party also said that he did not know. However, when asked about the source of the money in the WeChat red envelope, Li began to flash his words, saying that it was transferred to him by his family for a while, and then saying that it was a tip given by a customer in the store. The police immediately noticed the clue. Further investigation soon found a public video showing that at 3 a.m. on January 25, Li walked into a bank ATM self-service machine and left five minutes later. At this time, Li could no longer make it up and truthfully confessed the theft.

It turned out that after Li heard that Xiao Wang paid the bonus, he was greedy, and in the early morning of January 25, he returned to the dormitory from work and found that he was alone, so he began to rummage through Xiao Wang's belongings, and soon found the envelope containing money from the bedside table. Li was worried that he couldn't hide so much cash, so he hurried out to a nearby ATM to save it. But after all, he is a thief with a weak heart, not to mention that Xiao Wang usually treats himself well, Li immediately took out his mobile phone and used the money he just stole to send Xiao Wang a 2,500 yuan WeChat red envelope, thanking him for lending money to himself, and saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner, and this was only to calm his inner anxiety and guilt.
Xiao Wang, who learned the truth, was in disbelief, and Li also regretted his thoughts, but the theft violated the law after all.
At present, the criminal suspect Li has been taken criminal compulsory measures by the Huangpu police in accordance with the law for suspected theft, and the case is being further investigated.
