"Han Xiaodong, your idea is really great. We are all very happy today." Liu Haizhong said with emotion.

Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "As long as everyone is happy, I will be satisfied."

The door lock of Han Xiaodong's house was broken, so Han Xiaodong decided to find Yan Bugui's bicycle chain to temporarily lock the door. Unexpectedly, some things were lost after locking the door.

On a summer afternoon, the sun was scorching the earth, and the courtyard was quiet, with only the sound of cicadas chirping in the distance. Han Xiaodong was reading at home when he suddenly heard a hasty knock on the door.

"Brother Han Xiaodong, Brother Han Xiaodong!" Banggeng's voice sounded outside the door.

Han Xiaodong put down the book, walked to the door and opened it, and saw Banggeng standing outside the door panting: "Banggeng, what's wrong?"

"Brother Han Xiaodong, Uncle Yan's bicycle chain is hanging in the yard. I see your door lock is broken. Why don't you go and borrow it?" Bang Geng said.

Han Xiaodong then remembered that his door lock had indeed been broken for several days and he had not had time to repair it. Hearing Banggeng's suggestion, he nodded: "Good idea, I'll go borrow it from Uncle Yan."

After that, Han Xiaodong followed Banggeng to Yan Bugui's door and knocked. After a while, Yan Bugui opened the door and saw Han Xiaodong and Banggeng, and said with a smile: "Han Xiaodong, Banggeng, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Yan, my door lock is broken. Can I borrow your bicycle chain to temporarily lock the door?" Han Xiaodong asked.

Yan Bugui readily agreed: "Of course, Han Xiaodong, you can use it. It just so happens that I don't ride my bike much recently."

Han Xiaodong said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Yan, you really helped a lot."

Han Xiaodong took the chain, returned home, and temporarily locked the door, thinking that he would repair the door lock when he had time, so it was safe for the time being.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong went out early to buy groceries and also planned to buy a new door lock. When he came back, he found Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong standing in front of the door, both with worried looks on their faces.

"Han Xiaodong, you're back just in time." Qin Huairu said.

Han Xiaodong felt a little strange: "What's wrong, Sister Qin, Brother Liu, what happened?"

Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "Han Xiaodong, we found that your door seemed to have been pried open."

Han Xiaodong was startled and quickly pushed the door open to find that the house was in a mess, obviously it had been rummaged through. His heartbeat quickened and he hurriedly checked the things in the house and found that some valuable small items and cash were missing.

"How could this happen..." Han Xiaodong murmured, feeling helpless and angry.

"Han Xiaodong, are you okay?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

Han Xiaodong took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "It's okay, I just lost some things, fortunately there is no big loss."

Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "Han Xiaodong, we can't just let this matter go. We have to call the police."

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, Brother Liu, you are right, we have to call the police."

So, Han Xiaodong and Liu Haizhong went to the nearby police station to report the incident. Soon after, the police arrived at the courtyard and began to inquire about the situation and take notes. Han Xiaodong described in detail the items he had lost and the suspicion that his door had been pried open. The police carefully recorded the information and said they would do their best to investigate.

When the police left, the neighbors gathered at the door of Han Xiaodong's house, and everyone was talking about the matter.

"This is really too much. They actually dare to break into the house and steal things in broad daylight." Liu Guangtian said indignantly.

"Yes, our courtyard has always been quite safe. We didn't expect something like this to happen." Qin Huairu was also very angry.

Yan Bugui patted Han Xiaodong on the shoulder and comforted him: "Han Xiaodong, don't worry, the police will handle it. We must also be more careful to prevent similar things from happening again."

Han Xiaodong nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, I will be careful."

Back in the house, Han Xiaodong looked at the messy room, feeling helpless and angry. He began to clean up the house, thinking that he must pay more attention to safety in the future.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong received a notice that the police had found some clues and asked him to go to the police station. Han Xiaodong was filled with hope and rushed to the police station.

"Comrade Han Xiaodong, we found some of your lost items at a nearby scrap collection station," said the police.

Han Xiaodong was delighted: "Really? That's great, we found it!"

“However, no suspects have been found yet and we will continue to investigate,” the police added.

Han Xiaodong nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your efforts, I believe you will find the criminal."

After leaving the police station, Han Xiaodong felt a little relieved, but he was still worried about the future. He knew that although some items were found, some things were still lost. He had to be more careful and not let something like this happen again.

Back at the courtyard, Han Xiaodong saw the children playing and laughing in the yard, and his mood gradually calmed down. He decided not to let this incident affect his life and to remain optimistic.

"Han Xiaodong, you're back. Is there any news?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

"The police have found some lost items and are still investigating." Han Xiaodong replied with a smile.

"That's great, at least some things are recovered." Liu Haizhong said.

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, we must also be more careful and take care of each other."

A few days later, Han Xiaodong finally bought a new door lock and replaced it, feeling relieved. Although he had experienced some ups and downs, he still felt that living in this courtyard was full of warmth and love from his neighbors.

One evening, Han Xiaodong was watering flowers in the yard when he heard a commotion outside the door. He walked over and saw Yan Bugui and Jia Dongxu arguing excitedly about something.

"Uncle Yan, Dongxu, what happened?" Han Xiaodong walked forward and asked.

Yan Bugui frowned and said, "Han Xiaodong, you came at the right time. Dongxu said he lost some things and he suspected that they were stolen by someone in the yard."

Jia Dongxu's face was gloomy: "Yes, several of my valuables are missing. I suspect someone may have stolen them while I was away from home."

Han Xiaodong was surprised: "How could this happen? Are you sure you lost the things at home?"

"Yes, I found that the door had been pried open when I got home." Jia Dongxu said in a firm tone.

Han Xiaodong felt that things were getting complicated: "Dongxu, this matter must be reported to the police and they should be investigated."

Jia Dongxu nodded: "I have called the police, and the police will be here soon."

Soon after, the police arrived at the courtyard and began to question Jia Dongxu and investigate the scene. Han Xiaodong and the neighbors watched from the side, and everyone felt a little uneasy.

"Han Xiaodong, is this incident related to the previous burglary in your house?" Liu Haizhong asked in a low voice.

Han Xiaodong pondered for a moment and nodded: "It is possible. The police will definitely investigate it thoroughly."

A few days later, Han Xiaodong received another notice asking him to go to the police station. Han Xiaodong rushed to the police station and saw Jia Dongxu there.

"Comrade Han Xiaodong, Comrade Jia, we have made some new progress." The police said, "We found some clues during the investigation and suspect that the two cases were committed by the same group of people."

Han Xiaodong and Jia Dongxu looked at each other, both shocked.

"Did they catch the person?" Han Xiaodong asked anxiously.

"We haven't completely identified the suspect yet, but we will continue to track him down," the police explained.

Han Xiaodong nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, I hope we can catch the criminal as soon as possible."

Back at the courtyard, Han Xiaodong told his neighbors the latest news. Although everyone was still uneasy, they also had full confidence in the police.

"We must be more united and work together to prevent this kind of thing from happening again," Han Xiaodong said to everyone.

"Yes, Han Xiaodong is right, we should take care of each other." Qin Huairu agreed.

A few days later, Han Xiaodong received an unexpected call from his old friend Zhang Wei, who was working in another city. After hearing about Han Xiaodong's situation, he called to show his concern.

"Han Xiaodong, I heard that you've been in some trouble recently. How are you doing? Are you feeling better now?" Zhang Wei

Han Xiaodong made a tape man out of tape, which blended in with the shadow play and was almost indistinguishable.

The summer sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and onto the ground of the courtyard. Han Xiaodong stands in the yard, holding a roll of tape and a pair of scissors, thinking about how to make a "tape man". This is an idea that came to him suddenly, and he decided to make a tape man combined with shadow puppetry to surprise his neighbors.

Han Xiaodong deftly cut the tape and glued them together layer by layer, gradually forming the outline of a person. He carefully added details to the "tape man", including eyes, mouth, hands and feet. Finally, a realistic "tape man" appeared in front of him, lifelike, as if it really had life.

"This is a really good idea!" Han Xiaodong was delighted. He decided to hold a shadow play in the yard at night and incorporate the "tape man" into the play so that people would not be able to guess whether it was real or fake.

In the evening, Han Xiaodong placed the "tape man" in the yard and set up the shadow play curtain next to it. He adjusted the lights to ensure that every detail could be clearly displayed. Upon hearing the news, the neighbors came and sat in the yard, full of curiosity and expectation.

"Han Xiaodong, what are you going to perform for us today?" Qin Huairu asked with a smile while holding Xiaodang.

"Yes, Han Xiaodong, tell us quickly, what good shows are there to watch?" Liu Haizhong also asked.

Han Xiaodong smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, everyone. I have prepared a special program today that will definitely surprise you."

When the children heard this, they clapped excitedly.
