Case closed

Happiness is when you finally know the truth.

Well, not exactly the whole truth but knowing part of the truth is sufficient for me in this case.

Today, my flatmate gave us a pleasant surprise. The kitchen thief had been found. We only know that the culprit is an undergraduate boy. But this information is sufficient for us to quit doubting one of us. He admitted to another boy, his friend who caught him red-handed, that he stole food from kitchens. His targets were kitchens with door facing the exit to the staircase (i.e. my flat). Another target is the kitchen at the corner of the connecting row between north and west bank. This design of this kitchen is such that the door is hidden from the view of the occupants even if they walk along the corridor. I must say he is pretty smart and has great attention to details.

His friend took pity on him and never reported. Hence, we will never know his identity. I do wish to ask him why did he eat all the sausages in the fried rice.
