Cao Anping walked slowly to the central courtyard.

All the residents who could arrive in the courtyard had gathered, and the scene was a mess.

Some were talking to each other, and some were questioning the children sternly.

Cao Anping put the stool in the corner, sat down casually, took out a handful of melon seeds, and prepared to start eating melon and watching the show.

Xu Damao came over shamelessly and took away a handful of melon seeds from Cao Anping.

But Xu Damao reeked of medicine, so Cao Anping quickly moved away.

Maybe it was because the matter was urgent, the three uncles not only did not bring the teacups, they even did not move the tables, chairs and benches that they usually placed in the middle.

Jia Zhang was standing next to the three masters, still wailing.

He kept cursing the thief who stole the money, and when he got excited, he started cursing everyone in the compound.

But seeing that it was useless, he simply sat on the ground and began to summon the spirit, calling out to Lao Jia.

This really disgusted the neighbors in the yard.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet."

Liu Haizhong greeted him. He was a little unhappy tonight.

He didn't even bring in tables and chairs. He really doesn't act like a leader at all.

Seeing that the noisy crowd had quieted down, Liu Haizhong began to speak slowly:

"I called everyone to a meeting tonight because of this Jia family...

Jia Zhang discovered that her money was missing and needed to investigate...

Our courtyard..."

Yi Zhonghai became a little impatient when he saw that Liu Haizhong was about to give another long speech.

He interrupted, "Now that everyone is here, let me confirm again whether anyone who stayed in the courtyard today saw anyone else enter our courtyard?"

Liu Haizhong was a little unhappy. He had not said much in the recent meetings and always felt that Yi Zhonghai was deliberately targeting him.

However, seeing that Yi Zhonghai had attracted everyone's attention with just one sentence, he had no choice but to shut up and keep his unhappiness in his heart.

Everyone in the courtyard confirmed again that no outsiders would come in today.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned serious, and he glanced at everyone before saying:

“Since no outsiders came in, it could be an internal thief. Our No. 95 courtyard is a civilized courtyard, and such black sheep must not appear in our courtyard.

We will check and prove them one by one. I hope everyone will not have any resistance. This is also for the benefit of everyone in our hospital."

Everyone in the courtyard nodded, and they all felt that a thorough investigation was necessary.

Because Yi Zhonghai has always advocated leaving doors open at night to create a harmonious courtyard.

But if there is a thief in the yard, can we still feel safe leaving the door unlocked?

Now Cao Anping was the only one in the yard locking the door, but everyone pretended not to see it.

Of course, if he hadn't lost his temper as soon as he entered the courtyard, showing his strength, Yi Zhonghai would have criticized him for locking the door.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang who was still going crazy, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes as he cursed:

"Jia Zhang, stop arguing. Do you still want to get it back?"

Seeing that Jia Zhang had finally calmed down, she continued to ask, "Can you recall when was it today that you and Huairu were not at home at the same time?"

Jia Zhang thought that she had indeed left the courtyard at noon, and turned to Qin Huairu and scolded her:

"I only went out once at noon. Qin Huairu, you are so good. My Jia family married you and provided you with food and shelter, but you couldn't even watch the door? Did you go out to fool around at noon?"

Qin Huairu had tears in her eyes and wiped them with her hands before she choked up and replied:

"Mom, didn't I go to deliver lunch to Dongxu at noon?"

When the people in the courtyard saw Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance, they secretly cursed Jia Zhang in their hearts for being a bad person and not being satisfied with such a good daughter-in-law.

When Jia Zhang heard that it was to deliver food to Jia Dongxu, she was a little embarrassed. How could she have forgotten about this?

Seeing that Jia Zhang was about to start making a fuss again, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly asked, "Is there anyone in the middle courtyard at noon?"

Several women raised their hands, as did some children.

However, the answer was disappointing. During the time when Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were not at home at the same time, there were always more than two people in the central courtyard, and no one was seen entering the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai had a bad feeling. It would be very difficult to steal things openly in the middle courtyard during the day.

After all, there are nearly ten households in the central courtyard, and there are basically always people in the yard.

But he still wanted to give it a try, he really didn't want to report it to the police.

So he said: "Then we have to verify everyone's whereabouts and confirm each other's information.

It’s the easiest to go to work. Let me talk first and I’ll take the lead.

After work in the morning, I never left the workshop except to eat in the canteen, and it was very late when I returned to the courtyard. "

When everyone saw that the old man had proved his innocence, the people at work also began to describe their whereabouts in detail. Except for going to and from get off work, no one came back during the day.

After hearing what everyone at work had said, Yi Zhonghai looked towards Cao Anping who was sitting in the corner. Seeing that he was eating melon seeds, his face suddenly became gloomy.

For some reason, whenever something happened in the hospital, he would always think of Cao Anping first.

He asked in a deep voice: "Cao Anping, won't you tell me about your itinerary?"

Cao Anping curled his lips and said listlessly: "I haven't come back from work.

It was almost dark when I got home from get off work, and the Jia family was at home, so it definitely wasn’t me.”

Yi Zhonghai still had some doubts, even though it was just an intuition, but he still asked casually: "Have you ever left the factory at noon?"

Cao Anping immediately got angry and stood up and yelled, "Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean?

You don't ask anyone else, but only ask me. Do you think I'm easy to bully?

I answer you only because I give you face. If I don’t give you face, you are nothing. What qualifications do you have to interrogate me?

Are you still running a legal education program in the street?

I see you haven't learned anything at all. A case worth a few hundred dollars, can you, a manager, handle it?

Report to the police immediately! Be careful not to make any mistakes!"

When Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui heard this, they were both shocked and felt that what Cao Anping said made sense.

It is indeed not convenient for them to get involved in cases involving a few hundred yuan. Last time, Director Wang criticized the Jia family for blackmail.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai regretted the moment he asked the question. He knew that Cao Anping was a powder keg that could explode at any time.

But now Cao Anping was right in front of him and fired a powerful shot, which made him, a middle-aged man, feel a little embarrassed. He could only say:

"You have a feud with the Jia family, so I'm just asking one more question. Please don't be resistant.

I will check the courtyard myself first, for everyone's sake. If I can't find anything, I will definitely report it to the police."

He was able to get away with it, at least most of the residents thought Yi Zhonghai was right.

Cao Anping curled his lips, then sat down leisurely, and said, "Anyway, I don't have the time to commit the crime, so don't ask me anymore. If you want to investigate, investigate carefully and don't bring in personal emotions."

Yi Zhonghai choked and thought that it was indeed he who brought up personal emotions.

That subconscious intuition was caused by the hatred and resentment towards Cao Anping.
