Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

"The old lady is coming!"

Sha Zhu said with anticipation.

Before he called Li Han to come, he had already informed the old woman who had poor hearing but clear thinking. Now that he saw her appear at the right time, Sha Zhu felt much more at ease.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and asked with concern: "Madam, it's already late at night, why don't you rest? Don't let yourself get cold."

"Things have gotten out of hand. If you don't take action I'm going to call the police." The deaf woman said coldly, with a strong reproach in her words.

"Li Han, Li Han, just because you wanted to call the police, you even woke up the old lady.

Apologize to the old lady immediately and stop reporting it!" Sha Zhu reprimanded harshly.

"The old lady is already in her seventies or eighties, and you still do everything to make her worried. As a junior, how can you behave like this without any bottom line? I have already made the decision for you. Don't call the police. I will send the old lady back to rest." Yi Zhonghai said as he went to support the deaf woman.

In his opinion, since even the elders in the courtyard are interfering, you, young man, should be more wise.

After all, Li Han's father Li Daqiang had sincerely respected the deaf woman before.

Unexpectedly, Li Han asked innocently, "Uncle, what does my calling the police have to do with the deaf grandmother? Why did she get scared? Did she take my pension?"

Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu fell silent at the same time.

It turns out that they invited the deaf grandmother to put pressure on Li Han, but he didn't understand at all?

"Li Han, you have already slandered my Banggan'er, and now you want to wrongly accuse my old lady? Are you still a human being?" Qin Huairu had been angry about the beating of Banggan'er for a long time, and now she took the opportunity to retort.

"You beat my grandson without any evidence, and you still want to call the police to arrest him? You will be the first one to be arrested!" Jia Zhang accused angrily.

The residents looked for opportunities to dissuade them again.

"Li Han, apologize to the old lady and don't call the police."

“We are all neighbors, and we need to give each other some space.”

The deaf woman trembled, holding a cane and walked up to Li Han: "Li boy, my old lady can't stand being frightened. If you insist on calling the police, today, let me pass under your feet!"

Seeing this scene, Yi Zhonghai and others felt greatly relieved. The deaf woman had made a move, and there was no way back.

Looking at this scene, I’m afraid even Li Han wouldn’t dare to step over her.

Today's plan to call the police has completely failed.

Just as they were about to discuss the follow-up and how to make Li Han apologize to the deaf woman and Bangganer, several people in police uniforms rushed into the backyard.

"We received an anonymous tip-off that there is a serious incident here."

"Please remain still for the moment while we investigate."

After the police explained their purpose, the scene fell silent, with everyone looking confused.

Everyone present had a gloomy look on their face, as if they had witnessed some horrific scene.

"Who called the police? Could it be Li Han?"

"It can't be Li Han. He has been staying in the room the whole time."

The residents were talking about it, worrying that there were thieves in their yards and that they were no longer stable.

"Maybe they came from other courtyards and deliberately disrupted our good life!" some resident speculated.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense when the police suddenly appeared.

"No matter how much prevention is done, it will eventually be discovered. What you fear will come true."

"Li Han is lucky that someone anonymously called the police. I just hope the police will return empty-handed."

While Yi Zhonghai was sighing inwardly, he looked at Qin Huairu worriedly, feeling a little distressed.

At this moment, she also seemed emotional and unconsciously tightened her grip on the stick.

Fortunately, Bangganer had been told beforehand not to speak without restraint.

Sha Zhu and Jia Zhang remained silent, as they felt that talking more at this moment would only cause more trouble.

The police looked at the crowd and asked, "Which household here has this happened?"

Seeing so many people still gathered late at night, the police went straight to the point and understood the general situation.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Han. They hoped that he could understand the situation and just let the matter go without letting the police investigate too deeply.

"Li Han, when the police talk to you, you must answer seriously. Remember that you are a member of our community and your neighbors are watching you. You don't need to be overly nervous." Yi Zhonghai reminded meaningfully.

"Please don't interrupt me," Yi Zhonghai added.

Sha Zhu hurried to help Yi Zhonghai out: "Comrade, Mr. Li Han is the top leader of our hospital."

But as soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Sha Zhu immediately became embarrassed because someone emphasized it again.

Li Han looked at Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai as if he was mocking them. He stepped forward and said, "Comrades, something happened in my family and my pension was stolen." He admitted the crime without any hesitation.

Now that the police are here, he still wants to cover it up. Is he out of his mind?

Li Han's attitude caused emotional fluctuations again, and the emotional score rose rapidly, approaching the 10,000 mark.

His heart was filled with emotion. All this was not accidental. Everyone's "cooperation" played an indispensable role!

The officer asked, “Can you describe the situation in detail?”

So, Li Han began to recount how Gengbang had stolen his keys and lost his pension box.

However, he did not mention the scenes of blocking the chimney with a stick and stealing the box, after all, there was no substantial evidence.

He asked: "Police, can these clues help me find the stolen pension?"

"We will investigate." The policeman wrote down the information and looked around at the people at the scene.

"Who's the child's name?" he asked the key question.

"I, I am." The boy called 'Gengbang' answered timidly. Although he was known as a master thief, he was still afraid when he really faced the police.

Seeing Gengbang's body trembling slightly, Qin Huairu's heart tightened, fearing that the matter would get out of hand: "He is the child's parent. If you have anything to say, you can explain it directly to the police."

The police nodded in agreement.

"Can you give an explanation for why your son stole the keys to Li Han's house?" the police asked.

Qin Huairu quickly responded: "I don't think he was stealing, he might just be naughty for a moment.

My grandson loves to play with keys, Mr. Shazhu can attest to that.”

Sha Zhu nodded seriously and agreed: "That's true. Geng Bang often plays with my keys. It's just a kid playing around. There's never a shortage of things in the house."

The policeman glanced at Jia Zhang and Sha Zhu, then lowered his head to organize the case notes. Apparently he also noticed the possible connection between the clues and suspected that this was related to the lost pension box.

He said to Qin Huairu and his wife, "I will record your testimony, but it does not rule out Gengbang's responsibility. We need to enter the house and search it."

Qin Huairu was well prepared for the search. "We are willing to cooperate, please let the police follow us."

So Qin Huairu led the way to the central courtyard, and the other residents followed.

The pension box was hidden in a small package under the locust tree.

Walking into the house, Qin Huairu picked up the package and said, "I'm sorry, the baby is still young, I don't want the search to cause her panic."

The police didn't pay much attention to this. Li Han witnessed this scene from a distance. With his current strength and talent, he could feel that although this action was reasonable, it was somewhat abnormal.

The search quickly ended at the Jia Mansion, and the police did not make any major discoveries: "It seems that you are not a suspect at the moment, but we will investigate further, so please be ready to cooperate at any time." After saying that, he turned and left.

Hearing the news, Qin Huairu's eyes sparkled with joy.

Her strategy proved to be effective. Who could have imagined that the small package in the package would hide a huge mystery?

This feeling of blinding the police is great!

Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and Jia Zhang naturally relaxed as well.

They even cast smug glances at Li Han, as if mocking his failure.

“Even if the police come, what can they do? They can’t find any evidence, right?”

"Ding Dong, Qin Huairu's mood increased by 200."

"Ding Dong, Yi Zhonghai's emotions increased by 200."

"Ding Dong, gain 200 points of Shazhu's emotions."

"Ding Dong, Jia Zhang's emotions increased by 200."

...

A sudden system prompt sounded deep in Li Han's mind, indicating that Qin Huairu and the others' reactions contained hidden psychological activities.

"It seems that there is something wrong with these people!"

Qin Huairu's action of hugging Huaihua just now made Li Han suspicious.

He was now almost certain that the small box containing the pension was inside Sophora japonica's package.

Everyone secretly rejoiced that they had found an impeccable excuse and hoped that the police would not find any clues. At this time, Li Han spoke up to break the silence:

"Comrade police officer, can I make a suggestion?"

The police officer who was searching paused and asked, "Please speak."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Han again, among which Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and Jia Zhang's eyes were full of doubts and questions.

"Comrade police officer, please allow me to check one more place." He pointed to the locust flower still in Qin Huairu's arms, "that is, on this little girl."

There was a buzzing sound! It was as if an electric current passed through Qin Huairu's brain, and her eyes suddenly went dark.

People who knew the situation, such as Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu, also became nervous and had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

But how did Li Han know where the pension was hidden? Was this discovery a coincidence?

Their heads were full of questions and their hearts were as tense as drums.

At this critical moment, the system's excitement was almost overflowing.

A large amount of emotion values ​​appeared, and Li Han immediately checked the system interface:

Oh! He actually saw this one:

Super Emotional Lottery System

Host: Li Han

Emotional Value: Points

《Item: None (Primary Treasure Box)》

《Note: The primary lottery consumes 1 emotional points, the intermediate lottery requires 5 emotional points; the top lottery requires 10 emotional points, and the mid-to-high lottery needs to be upgraded to a treasure chest.

>

Just by proposing to check the Sophora japonica flowers, which had not yet been completed, the emotional value soared by more than 4,000 points, which was enough to show how great the emotional impact caused by this proposal was.

Especially for Qin Huairu and others, Li Han's insight undoubtedly confirmed their own speculations.

The police obviously noticed something was wrong.

Qin Huairu held the child tightly, saying that she was afraid the child would be frightened, until everyone came outside to investigate.

Doing this on a cold winter night, aren't you worried that the child will catch a cold? The police have asked to check the child's background:

"Banggeng's mom, we need to check the items on the child, please help us."

Qin Huairu's previous calmness disappeared at this moment. Her face turned as pale as paper and she looked extremely terrified.

"Police...Comrade Police, the child is very young, can you please not let her suffer?"

“Don’t worry, we’ll do it without disturbing her.”

Hearing this, she nodded reluctantly. When she saw other people who knew the situation, her eyes revealed a look of seeking help, but she received no support.

The current situation is irreparable, and the original plan has obviously exposed a fatal flaw.

Her heart was cold and hopeless.

Then, grit your teeth and make a decision:

"Comrade police officer, the weather is cold, it might be better to search inside the house."

Leading the policemen back to the warm room, they unwrapped Sophora japonica's package, and a small iron box appeared conspicuously under their alert eyes.

Without waiting for the police to ask, Qin Huairu questioned Huaihua sternly: "Bang Geng! When did you, the troublemaker, put this into my sister's package?"

Chapter Nineteen

She pulled Banggeng's ear and pointed at the iron box wrapped in locust flower cloth in his arms. "Didn't I tell you not to make trouble? You just wouldn't listen! Did you take this box from Li Han's house? If so, return it to him immediately.

Look at how much trouble you have caused. Even the police uncle was alarmed. You are such an ignorant child. Let me teach you a lesson!" As he said this, he picked up the broom beside him and swung it at Banggeng's butt.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai finally realized what was going on. "Qin Huairu is playing hard to get." He hurried into the room to help smooth things over: "Bang Geng, you are really too naughty, confess your mistakes quickly and apologize to Li Han!"

"Children should have the courage to take responsibility for their mistakes and correct them immediately. This is called correcting mistakes as soon as you know them, and there is nothing better than that." Yi Zhonghai continued to educate, "Did you listen to my teachings? Go and return the box to Li Han. Be sincere and apologize."

With a way out, Qin Huairu immediately stuffed the box into Banggeng's hands and urged him to do his job. "Even though he is only nine years old, Banggeng should understand that as long as he apologizes to Li Han, he won't have to worry about being arrested by the police." Little Banggeng choked up and said, "Uncle Li Han, I was wrong! I shouldn't have taken your box to play with. I'm returning it now."

Yi Zhonghai nodded secretly, confirming that her approach was effective. "Police comrades, you see, it's all because of the children's naughtiness that they have brought us so much trouble. I am very embarrassed as a parent." After scolding, Qin Huairu immediately put on a friendly smile and apologized to the police, like a sensible and reasonable woman.

"Comrade police officer, I'm the uncle from the first courtyard. I also have a house in the middle courtyard, and I'm very familiar with this family's situation." He went on to explain, "She just lost her husband. She has a 60-year-old mother and a hungry child, so I usually don't discipline Banggeng enough.

In the future, we will take care of her children together and correct any inappropriate behavior in a timely manner to ensure that they will not go astray again and become useful talents for the country. "

These words coming from Yi Zhonghai were sincere and touching, and everyone around him was moved by his words.

Especially Sha Zhu was stunned and deeply impressed by his wisdom.

When the police learned the whole story and found the lost property, and Bang Geng had personally apologized, they did not want to complicate a simple issue. "Li Han, please claim this box. Is it yours?"

Li Han replied, "Indeed, this is the box where I put the pension." Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief that the situation had not deteriorated to the point where it could not be resolved.

"It's not easy for the police officers to be on duty in such a cold night. Solve the problem if you can and don't add more trouble to them," Yi Zhonghai advised further.

These words struck a chord with law enforcement officers and were quite useful to them.

“That’s right, Mr. Li Han. The things have been recovered and the mistakes have been admitted. Please be more tolerant and ask the police to close the case as soon as possible and let them go home and rest.

We have always been a harmonious community here, and this incident was all caused by the misunderstanding caused by Bang Geng's mischief."

"The misunderstanding was resolved and the property was returned to its original owner. This is the most satisfactory outcome."

Amid the discussions among the crowd, the situation had already tilted towards the Jia family, and they tried their best to persuade Li Han not to delve further into the matter.

The joy on Qin Huairu and others' faces could hardly be suppressed and concealed.

Under such heavy pressure, how many choices does Li Han have?

Just when Qin Huairu was completely relaxed and thought Li Han would compromise,

Li Han suddenly spoke up. "Qin Huairu, your idiot took my pension. Do you want to use the child's mischief as an excuse? Can you just apologize and let it go?"

"Before I called the police, I gave you a chance to apologize, but you insisted that you didn't steal and accused me of false accusations. Everyone in the compound saw and heard everything."

"At that time, did you really respect the law?" After a few words, Li Han asked back mercilessly.

Then, he got to the point. "Officer, I suggest you check the amount of the lost money to see if this constitutes a criminal offense." Li Han opened the pension box.

A neatly stacked stack of hundred-yuan bills appeared before everyone.

The thickness alone was enough to make the policeman's face turn stiff.

The final total amount of the pension was confirmed: a full one thousand yuan! One thousand yuan was a rare deposit for ordinary families in Beijing.
