Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

At this time, Fade Chen walked out from the darkness and asked in surprise: "Xu Damao, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"

"My film is missing, it must be you who did it!" Xu Damao glared at him and said angrily.

"Don't slander a good person. How would I know where your film is? Besides, I don't need your little stuff." Chen Fei shrugged innocently when he heard that.

In this case, Chen Fei was just waiting for Xu Damao to lose his composure.

Xu Damao paced back and forth in the yard anxiously, his face ashen.

As a film projectionist, that roll of film was of great significance to him. If it was lost, not only would he lose his job, he might also be charged with theft.

He stared at everyone who passed by, as if trying to find the truth from their eyes.

Yan Bugui, known as the Third Uncle, also frowned at this moment.

He observed Xu Damao's panic and had some guesses in his mind.

Walking up to Xu Damao, the third uncle asked in a low voice: "Damo, are you sure that the film is missing from here?"

Xu Damao nodded rapidly, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes: "Uncle, I definitely won't be mistaken. I just brought that roll of film back from the cinema, and it's in this package."

Yan Bugui looked around, his eyes sweeping across everyone's face.

Although the courtyard is small, it is home to many hidden talents, and everyone has his or her own little thoughts.

"It seems that this was not done by an outsider, but rather by someone in the courtyard." Yan Bugui pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole courtyard was in an uproar.

Everyone was talking, their eyes moving between each other.

Chen Fei stood aside, expressionless on his face, but secretly delighted in his heart.

My plan is already half successful.

Chen Fei stood in the corner, quietly observing the drama that was about to unfold.

Xu Damao's eyes were deep, as if he could see into everyone's heart, and his face was as dark as the dark clouds before a storm, terribly gloomy.

The residents in the courtyard gathered together, whispering, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

"Convene a meeting!" Second Uncle Liu Haizhong gave an order, and everyone took their seats.

His eyes swept over Bang Geng with a bit of disdain and blame.

"Bang Geng, did you steal this film?" Liu Haizhong asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Bang Geng looked innocent and shook his head.

"Hmph, you are a dishonest child. You have had the habit of stealing things since childhood. Why don't you change it?" Liu Haizhong snorted coldly. These words were like a heavy hammer hitting Bang Geng's heart.

Qin Huairu's face changed when she heard that. She stood up and protected Bang Geng, glaring at Liu Haizhong: "Second Master, you can't say that. Although Bang Geng is naughty, he would never do anything sneaky."

Liu Haizhong sneered: "Qin Huairu, this is not the way you protect your child. We all see Banggeng, what kind of person he is, don't we know?"

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Qin Huairu's heart.

She looked pale, but still insisted on defending Bang Geng.

At this moment, Fade Chen slowly stood up, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, you said that this film was lost by you. Do you have any evidence?" Chen Fei asked calmly.

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then angrily said: "I just brought this film back from the cinema, how come it's not mine?"

Chen Fei smiled slightly, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and shook them in front of everyone: "This money is also mine, why don't you say that I stole it from you?"

Everyone was stunned, then burst into laughter.

Xu Damao's face turned red, but he was speechless.

Amid the hustle and bustle in the courtyard, Fade Chen was like a calm chess player, silently observing every chess piece on the board.

It's time to bring this drama to a climax.

He slowly walked up to Liu Haizhong, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "Second Uncle, you keep saying that Banggeng stole things, but do you have any evidence?"

Liu Haizhong was stunned by this sudden question, and then he angrily said: "Evidence? Everyone in the hospital knows Bang Geng's character? What evidence do you need?"

Fade Chen sneered and shook his head: "Everyone in the hospital? Are all the people in the hospital the truth? Can they convict people at will? If so, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

Everyone in the hospital fell silent, even the usually arrogant Xu Damao shut his mouth.

Qin Huairu looked at Chen Fei with gratitude. This young man was the only one who was willing to speak up for Bang Geng.

Bang Geng looked at Chen Fei with admiration, as if he saw his savior.

"We should believe in the facts instead of blindly following the trend. Who the film belongs to should be determined by the evidence."

Like a stream of clear water, these words dissipated the turbid atmosphere in the courtyard.

Everyone began to whisper and talk.

At this moment, Sha Zhu suddenly stood up, stared at Chen Fei, and said angrily: "Chen Fei, who do you think you are? What right do you have to give orders here?"

"I am not anyone, just a person who pursues the truth. And you, Shazhu, what are you afraid of? Are you also afraid that the truth will be revealed to the world?" Chen Fei smiled slightly, not afraid at all.

Sha Zhu was choked by Chen Fei's words and was speechless. He stared at Chen Fei with anger and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Fade Chen suddenly pulled out a stack of photos from his arms and threw them in front of everyone: "Everyone, this is the photo of Xu Damao's package that I saw in the cinema. Take a look, is Xu Damao's name written on the package?"

Chen Fei's words were like a gust of wind, sweeping across the entire courtyard in an instant.

Everyone's eyes fell on the stack of photos. In the photos, a package was lying quietly in a corner of the cinema, with three big words "Xu Damao" written on it.

Xu Damao's face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

He pointed at the photo with a shaking hand, and said in a panic, "How is this possible? Where did this photo come from?"

Fade Chen smiled and said slowly, "I accidentally saw this in the cinema yesterday. I thought the package was a little strange at the time, but I didn't expect something like this to happen today."

When everyone heard this, they immediately started talking.

They looked at Xu Damao, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Even Liu Haizhong, who had always trusted Xu Damao, frowned at this moment, as if he was thinking about the mystery.

Bang Geng looked at Xu Damao triumphantly, as if he had already seen that he was about to be defeated.

Qin Huairu held Chen Fei's hand tightly, with gratitude shining in her eyes.

Sha Zhu stood aside, silent.

Looking at Fade Chen, Sha Zhu felt a complex emotion in his heart.

I admire Chen Fei's wit and courage, but I am also ashamed of my own impulsiveness and recklessness.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong suddenly stood up and stared at Chen Fei, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice: "Chen Fei, although you took out the photos, this does not prove that the film was not stolen by Bang Geng. Do you have any other evidence?"

Chen Fei smiled slightly. He slowly took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Liu Haizhong: "Second Uncle, I found this in the cinema. Xu Damao's name is written on the envelope, and inside is the ticket purchase record of the cinema. I think this should be able to prove that the film was left behind by Xu Damao, right?"

Liu Haizhong took the envelope, opened it, and his face suddenly changed.
