Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

“Neighbors, we live in the same community. If anyone took the chicken from Xu Damao’s house and apologized now, I will not pursue the matter.

But if we can’t catch him, and Xu Damao really calls the police to seek compensation, then that’s Xu Damao’s business, and I, as the former second master, can’t intervene.”

Then, he specifically asked Xu Damao for his opinion.

Xu Damao nodded and said, "Since you have said so, Master, I will give you face. As long as you can hand over the chicken and apologize to me, I will not pursue the matter any further.

After all, I am not like that guy named Li who always wants to put others in trouble.”

After this conversation, the target quickly shifted to Li Han.

Everyone's eyes naturally turned to him.

Li Han, who was brushing his teeth, rinsed out his saliva when he heard the doubts about himself.

"Xu Damao, are you bored? Do you want to forget the lesson now that your injury has healed?"

He shot back sarcastically.

The aroma of Xu Damao's stewed chicken had long attracted his suspicion, so he made up a story about stealing the chicken.

Liu Haizhong cooperated with Xu Damao's lies to direct the conflict towards Li Han.

Faced with such a scene, Li Han couldn't help but laugh.

"That's what I told you. You were waiting here for me to frame you."

The small fluctuation in the morning made Li Han realize that something might happen. It turned out that this was just a sinister plot by the other party to frame him for stealing the chicken.

Thinking of the steaming hot stewed chicken at home, isn’t this the plot twist in the drama?

However, this time, Xu Damao encountered a role that he could not handle.

Since you guys want to frame me for stealing a chicken, I'll teach you a lesson. "System, activate the perspective card."

He wanted to figure out where the chicken was hiding, and sure enough, he saw it through X-ray vision.

"Humph, Xu Damao, you hid the chicken."

Li Han had a plan in mind. He quickly put the stewed chicken into the system space and used the purification card rewarded by the system to remove all the remaining smell of stewed chicken in the room.

"Since you want to accuse me of stewing your chicken, don't blame me for being rude."

His goal was to eliminate the chicken stew because the chicken was a system-issued item and could not be used as evidence to counter their accusations.

Afterwards, he prepared to deal with Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong.

Hearing the noise, people inside and outside the compound gathered.

"Lao Liu, what happened in the backyard?"

Yi Zhongqiu walked over at night with disheveled clothes, obviously having been awakened from a deep sleep.

"Old Yi, you're here. There's another thief in our neighborhood!" Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu heard "again"

I felt like I was being scratched by a cat and became even more nervous.

"Another thief? Was something stolen?" everyone asked for details.

"My dears, a chicken is missing from my house! It's a chicken that lays eggs. It was here last night, but it disappeared this morning! Someone must have taken it away.

It's just in time to meet you two gentlemen, let's see what to do!" Xu Damao seemed very happy when he saw that the number of people was increasing.

"Hey, Xu Damao,"

Sha Zhu sneered, "You should buy chickens that can actually lay eggs. Buying chickens that can't lay eggs is useless."

This remark immediately caused laughter among the neighbors.

"Sha Zhu, you are such a loser. How can a eunuch like you have the qualifications to laugh at me? There have been rumors on the construction site that you don't even have a single egg left!" Xu Damao was already prepared to fight back against Sha Zhu's sarcasm.

Although his secret had not yet been made public in the compound, it had already caused a stir in the factory.

Most of the people in the compound are employees of the steel plant. They naturally understand the situation but choose to avoid conflict.

"Hey, don't make a fool of yourself, are you trying to provoke me?"

Sha Zhu was enraged, with a look of shame and anger on his face.

After his brilliant performance in the last beating, Xu Damao thought he was strong enough to deal with this guy.

His majesty seemed to make Sha Zhu shrink back for a moment and stop moving forward.

"Well, you're wise. I'm not in the mood to deal with a scoundrel like you today." Facing his number one enemy Li Han, the first thing he had to do was to prove that the case was indeed related to Li Han.

He turned to everyone and said, "Everyone has heard about this. If you hand over the chicken and apologize to me, this matter can be put to rest.

You can also help persuade everyone to tell the person who stole the chicken to come forward. "

Yi Zhonghai also recalled that after leaving the deaf old lady’s house last night, he saw that the chickens raised by Xu Damao were gone, but the cages were empty.

This instantly made him believe Xu Damao's words: "Whoever really took Xu Damao's chicken, come out and apologize now, otherwise if someone finds out, everyone will lose face!"

As soon as he finished speaking, whispers were heard among the crowd, but no one stood up to admit it.

"Smell, is that the smell of chicken soup stewed in someone's house?" Jia Zhang didn't hear this by chance, she came here following the rich aroma of chicken soup.

Her reminder caused a lot of noisy discussions among the neighbors.

You can still smell the faint smell of stewed chicken in the air, especially at the end, but you can smell it before that.

"That's right, it's the smell of stewed chicken soup, sir." Everyone echoed.

Hearing this, Xu Damao asked with a worried look on his face, "Could it be the one we lost?"

He obviously felt sorry for his chickens.

Others also roughly guessed that Li Han's family was stewing chicken, and they couldn't help but worry for him.

Yan Bugui was quite rational at this time: "Xu Damao, is there anything special about your chicken? Someone may stew a chicken with yours."

This was part of Yan Bugui's plan. After all, everyone knew that Li Han was the major suspect. But if he could help Li Han get out of this crisis, he might be able to ask for chicken soup to enjoy in the future. Why not?

"Everyone knows that I bought the chicken. Who else bought it besides me? No one, right?"

Xu Damao continued to ask.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't know, while Li Han chose to remain silent.

"Li Han, since you didn't say anything, I'll just assume that you didn't buy the chicken.

Since neither of your two families could be the mastermind, the chicken being stewed now must have been lost from my house. Is that a correct inference?"

Xu Damao's statement received unanimous resonance from the residents.

"That's right, this can only be the case." "Then let's see which family is stewing, and the problem will be solved immediately!" Everyone focused their questioning eyes on Li Han.

Xu Damao pointedly said, "Li Han, stop pretending to be innocent in front of me.

That's the smell of your chicken soup, open the door now and let us take a look, and we'll find out right away."

The slander had been planned for a long time. Xu Damao said, "Li Han, have you been wanting to use this to throw dirty water on me?" Li Han asked, "Xu Damao, what do you mean? Why would I want to throw dirty water on you? Am I dirty myself? Do I need you to throw dirty water on me? Open your door quickly. If you don't have the stewed chicken, this matter will be impeccable."

..." Xu Damao was sure that there must be stewed chicken in Li Han's room.

Liu Haiyang interrupted: "We can tell the authenticity by looking at the situation. Li Han, open the door and let everyone confirm it. Everyone is watching now."

Yi Zhongwen sniffed the aroma of stewed chicken in the air and said with certainty that it was cooked by Li Han.

"Everyone please calm down. We are only investigating who cooked the chicken. We are not questioning one side. It may be the Li family or the Liu family.

But this can only be verified by seeing it with one's own eyes, and it is by no means subjective and directed at a specific family." Yi Zhongwen's words seemed fair and decent, and he found a legitimate excuse for his previous doubts about Li Han.

Li Han secretly sneered in his heart: Yi Zhongwen is indeed a sanctimonious moral authority.

He himself was not worried because the stewed chicken soup had been stored in the system space, the air in the room had been cleared, and opening the door to check would not reveal any suspicious points.

Now is the time to turn the tables. "Everyone knows what's going on, but I can clearly state that I don't cook chicken at home.

But I have no evidence, no matter how you imagine, this is my attitude." Li Han deliberately led them to take the bait.

Hearing this, Xu Damao felt that Li Han was quibbling and felt very guilty.

They had discussed with Liu Haiyang before and planned to accuse Li Han of stealing the chicken the moment he brought it back.

This is considered a preliminary victory. As long as we open the door and let everyone see the stewed chicken, the matter will be irrefutable evidence.

The next key step is to call the police.

Only by getting the police involved can Li Han be punished the most. "My chicken is lost, and I can't just let it go.

Since everyone was in denial and unwilling to confirm, I had no choice but to seek help from the police."

Xu Damao finally came clean. "My dear uncles, please remember our tradition. We usually resolve matters in our yard on our own. We will not notify the police unless it is absolutely necessary."

He still remembered the rule clearly, but now he couldn't get into the community anymore, and his chicken was lost, so he couldn't let this evil trend spread. "I agree with Xu Damao's opinion. It is necessary to call the police."

Liu Haiyang said: "I have no objection to this. Chen Hai, do you agree?"

Yi Zhongwen suddenly realized: It turned out that Xu Damao and Liu Haiyang were deliberately targeting Li Han.

In this situation, how could I not agree? "It's good that everyone has no objection. I don't have any position." He cleverly disassociated himself from the responsibility. "I don't agree."

Yan Bugui stood up and said that he felt that if he could help Li Han now, he would have more opportunities to benefit from Li Han's family in the future.

Not to mention this chicken meal, he wanted to get a share of today's chicken soup alone. "Although our courtyard was not rated as a model community this year, it may have a chance next year. If we alert the outside world now, it may affect the evaluation results next year."

There is a certain logic to Yan's words.

However, Liu Haiyang was determined to punish Li Han, and the reasons for his rebuttal followed. "Old Yan, you are making a fuss about nothing.

Next year’s evaluation criteria will be based on next year’s situation, and our actions now have nothing to do with tomorrow’s events.

So we should take the opportunity to ask the police to clean up our environment so that we can increase our chances of being selected next year."

Yi Zhongwen nodded in agreement: "I agree with Liu Haiyang's opinion. We did make mistakes, but if we can solve these problems within this year..." Before he finished speaking, there was a noisy voice outside the door, and it seemed that there was an argument. "Come on, come on, look! What is that?" The crowd in front of the door was boiling, and a new dynamic made everyone stop arguing.

Yi Zhongwen and everyone else turned and looked in that direction, waiting for the unknown to unfold...
