Siheyuan: Starting from the Police

Xu Guangfu asked everyone to go home first, and he went out and returned home in a flash.

When I entered the yard, I saw Yi Zhonghai sitting in the yard with a gloomy face. A group of people stood under the eaves, talking and laughing, and the cigarette butts flickered in the shadows.

Seeing Xu Guangfu, Liu Haizhong asked:

"Xu Guangfu! Where have you been?"

Xu Guangfu glanced at Liu Haizhong and said calmly: "Why? Do I have to report to you where I go?"

"Don't you know that there is a whole-school meeting? Do you have any sense of collectivism?"

Xu Guangfu showed a look of concern for the mentally retarded, "Meeting? Who told me? You're crazy!"

After saying that, without even looking at the two of them, he came to the door and looked at the people who were huddled together for warmth because they were freezing, and laughed out loud.

While unlocking the door, he explained: "Brothers, a murder happened and I forgot about you. Sorry, sorry. Pfft..."

When he opened the door and entered the room, a group of people stared at Xu Guangfu without saying a word.

Xu Guangfu quickly poured everyone a cup of hot water and said cheerfully, "Hahaha... it's my fault. I told Brother Hao about it yesterday, but I was so busy all day today that I completely forgot about it. Let's drink some hot water to warm ourselves up first."

"I haven't had time to prepare anything yet, so why don't we just have a bite of these peanuts and sunflower seeds?"

As he spoke, Xu Guangfu went out to the kitchen, took out two large bowls of cooked food from the space, and brought them back to the house and put them down.

He opened the cabinet, and while no one was paying attention, he took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and several canned beef and put them on the table. He then turned around and took out a box of Maotai.

"I'm sorry, guys! Just consider this wine as an apology."

A group of people sat together eating and drinking. At around 11 o'clock, Li Hao suggested that they disperse.

Xu Guangfu saw the guest off, apologizing repeatedly:

"Brothers, I have important things to do tomorrow and cannot delay. I will not keep you here. I will hold a banquet to apologize at the weekend!"

Several people didn't take it seriously and said casually: "It's okay! We still know the priorities, so let's stop here today. When you are done, we will get together again. Okay, go to bed early and don't delay the work."

I didn't clean up when I got home and slept until dawn.

The next morning, Xu Guangfu got up on time.

After washing up and cleaning the house, I was ready to go out with the trash.

When I opened the door, Yi Zhonghai was there again, with Liu Haizhong standing next to him.

Xu Guangfu's mood suddenly changed from sunny to cloudy, and he locked the door with a sullen look on his face and was about to leave with the cart.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong no longer put on airs and hurriedly stopped Xu Guangfu.

"Hey...Xiao Xu, there will be a school-wide meeting tonight, don't forget to attend!"

Xu Guangfu didn't say anything and pushed the cart out. These beasts are so disgusting!

After throwing away the garbage, Xu Guangfu rode his bike to the street office.

He hurried to Wang Xiuhua's office and said, "Auntie Wang, how is the street office going to deal with our hospital? It's been a week, and there's no news at all."

Wang Xiuhua smiled apologetically at Xu Guangfu, "Xiao Xu, the district and city have heard about your compound. I've been criticized this week and have been bullied at meetings every day. This is an instruction. From now on, all streets will cancel the title of excellent compound and change it to five-good family. The three uncles in your compound will be publicly criticized and go to the street office for half a year of ideological education."

"Okay! Then I'll go get busy now. I have a big case to deal with."

Xu Guangfu got a satisfactory answer and went to work happily.

Xu Guangfu went to the police station to find out where Lu Cheng's home was and hurried there on his bike.

When he arrived at Lu Cheng's compound, Xu Guangfu knocked on the door and saw the widow Wang Xiaocui.

"Are you Wang Xiaocui?"

"Correct!"

"I'm a police officer, I want to ask you something."

"Well, you ask!"

"I heard that you have a bad relationship with your in-laws? Can you tell me more?"

"My mother favors boys over girls. It was fine when my father was alive. After my father passed away, she asked me to take over the job at the steel mill. I worked there for four years and I didn't keep a penny of the money, so I gave it all to my mother. I met Lu Cheng at the mill, and when we were going to get married, he asked me to give my job back to my brother."

"Of course my brother deserved the job, but he didn't get any dowry when he got married, so I was disappointed with that family."

"After we got married, Lu Cheng treated me very well, and I didn't want to go back to that family. As a result, our relationship faded."

"Lu Cheng treats you well?"

"Yes! I have never suffered any injustice since we got married, and he has obeyed me in everything."

Xu Guangfu nodded: "I heard that Lu Cheng and your brother have a good relationship?"

"It wasn't so good at first, but it got a little better later. Mainly because my sister-in-law is a nice person. She often came to see me when I was pregnant, so we interacted more often."

"Did you know about the recent quarrel between Lu Cheng and your brother?"

"I heard about it. My brother lost all his family fortune in gambling, so he asked Lu Cheng to borrow money, and the two had a quarrel."

"Gambling is not a good thing. Didn't you try to persuade your brother?"

"Lü Cheng tried to persuade him, but my brother didn't appreciate it. I also tried to persuade my sister-in-law, but she couldn't say anything either."

"I heard that Lu Cheng also likes to play cards?"

"Yes, just playing mahjong to kill time."

"Does Lu Cheng play cards with your brother?"

"never seen it."

"Okay, thank you for your help. Let's leave it at that for now!"

Xu Guangfu returned to the police station and stayed in the Criminal Investigation Office, smoking and thinking silently.

After lunch, Xu Guangfu went to the steel mill again to ask the security department if they had found anything. But he found nothing.

3pm, Criminal Investigation Department Office.

Xu Guangfu spoke first: "Come on! Everyone, summarize the situation."

Zhao Sheng said, "We went to find Wang Dayong's wife. Wang Dayong's mother favors boys over girls. Because Song Qian, Wang Dayong's wife, gave birth to two daughters, they didn't live well. Later, Wang Dayong lost all his family fortune in gambling, and Song Qian was furious and took the children back to her parents' home. Another thing is that Song Qian and Lu Cheng knew each other a long time ago. Lu Cheng went to Songjiazhuang to purchase, and Song Qian is the daughter of the village party secretary of Songjiazhuang. There's nothing else."

Sun Fei calmly lit a cigarette, then slowly spoke: "The debt collectors are a group of hooligans, subordinates of a man named Jin Ye. Wang Dayong owed gambling debts to Jin Ye's factory. The two of us raided Jin Ye's underground casino and arrested Jin Ye. According to him, it was a man named Liu Bo who set up a trap for Jin Ye. The purpose was the heirloom in Wang Dayong's family, which is said to be priceless."
