The Beginning of Siheyuan Blackmailing Yi Zhonghai

There is also a pair of snuff bottles in the bottle, one is enameled and the other is made of white jade.

Yan Bugui remembered every line on it clearly.

Back then, before he moved into No. 95 Courtyard, a high-end opium den opened near his home.

At that time, the shop was packed with people and made a lot of money every day.

Yan Bugui was very envious, but he also knew that those who came in and out were either rich or noble. Even if they lost everything, they were still rich or noble. He, a small property owner, could not compare with them.

Yan Bugui also knew that this thing could kill people.

I vaguely remember that it was an autumn more than 20 years ago, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, the autumn wind was bleak.

Yan Bugui came out to pour water for washing feet, and then he saw an old man staggering out of the big pipe with a look of enjoyment on his face. When passing by his house, he greeted him and turned into the alley next to him.

But just as he was about to go back, he heard a thud, the sound of someone falling.

Yan Bugui hurried over to check and saw that the old man had fallen to the ground. He hurried to help him up and tried to feel his breath, but found that he was dead.

These two snuff bottles were taken from the old man.

After that, he quietly stayed beside the body and asked the shop assistant to notify the family, and he was paid ten dollars for nothing.

wait wait wait.

Just as Yan Bugui was recalling the next small object, a burst of crying suddenly came from the neighbor's house next door.

"It's gone, it's gone, my baby is gone too, that damn thing, ouch, it's gone."

Yan Bugui immediately woke up from his thoughts and walked out the door quickly.

At this time, many people had come out from the front yard, all staring curiously at the Yao family's arm of the Yan family.

The one crying in the house was Aunt Yao.

Just now, she heard Yan Bugui crying, and out of curiosity, she wanted to see the treasure hidden in the cracks in the wall of their house.

As expected, it was gone.

Then the current situation came about.

"Teacher Yan, what did you shout just now?" someone in the yard asked.

"It's okay, it's okay. What happened to Old Yao's family?" Yan Bugui asked, covering his mouth.

"I don't know. What do you mean the baby is gone? Do you think we should call the police?"

"Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, ask Master Ni."

Some people in the yard were discussing the matter, while others went home. Then, one after another, screams were heard from several families.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui felt much better.

It seemed like not only my family had lost things, but several families had lost things.

However, soon, his heart sank again.

How can the junk in your homes be as valuable as your treasures? Can their total value be as high as that of one of your bottles?

After a few families in the front yard exclaimed, the sound spread to the middle yard, and finally to the back yard.

More and more people came out to watch the fun.

The deaf old lady with messy hair also heard the shouting, all the treasures were gone, the antiques were gone, the jade ring was gone.

She was becoming more and more upset. A whole box of her treasures had disappeared more than a month ago. Did she say anything?

Jia Zhang, who was pregnant, didn't care about her heavy body and hurriedly began to check her pension money and gold ring.

Seeing that everything was there, I felt relieved.

To be honest, she was really scared just now.

Regardless of whether they were there to throw things or to watch the fun, most of the people in the yard began to slowly gather towards the front yard, and soon gathered in front of Grandpa Ni's house.

"Uncle Ni, there's a thief in our yard, a big thief, please help us!" a resident shouted hurriedly.

"Yes, Uncle Ni, our family heirloom is gone, come out and take a look!"

Ni Ye’s house.

At this time, Mr. Li took out a red cloth bag from the cracks in the bricks. After opening it, he found a silver longevity lock. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I was shocked. This is something my son wore when he was a child. I have treasured it for many years. Now this is all I want."

"Then hide it well and take it into the coffin later." Ni Ye said with a smile.

"Brother Wang, I think so too."

"Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go out and take a look."

Uncle Ni stood up, opened the door and walked out, and the yard suddenly became quiet.

With his hands behind his back, he looked around and asked, "Who lost something? Raise your hands so I can see."

Swish, swish, swish, seven families raised their hands one after another, including Yan Bugui.

"Do you know when it was lost?" Ni Ye asked again.

Now the crowd was silent.

Seeing that no one spoke, the onlookers hurriedly urged them on.

"Tell me, when was it lost? Let's recall and see if there are any strangers entering the yard."

"Yeah, maybe the time will do. Everyone can help think about it."

But after a long while, still no one answered.

It’s not that I can’t answer, it’s that I really don’t know.

The things are either in the cracks of the walls or buried underground. They are all hidden well and no one would have the time to check them.

For example, the last time I saw Yan Bugui was at the beginning of the year, which is three months ago.

The longest time I haven't checked it is more than three years.

Ni Ye felt something was wrong and continued to ask, "Let me ask again, are you sure they are all lost, right?"

"Sure!"

"I'm sure of that, too."

Several people answered.

"Well, you, go to the police station and report the crime. Go quickly."

Uncle Ni pointed at two people casually and said.

The people from the police station entered the yard with the three aunts.

The third aunt didn't know what had happened in the yard. She thought it was her own family's business, and hurriedly pulled Yan Bugui into the house.

"Why did you call the police? Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"

"It's not my call. What do my in-laws say?" Yan Bugui asked.

"My mother-in-law said that Yu Li hasn't been back home recently."

"I've never been back. So where did they get the money to buy the workstations? I calculated for them. They only have 400 yuan at most."

"You mean, the things at home were done by the eldest brother?" said the third aunt.

"How would I know? I have to wait for the boss to come back and ask."

While the two were talking, the police had already learned the general situation from Uncle Ni. Seven or eight families in a yard had lost important items, which was considered a major case.

The first family they wanted to investigate was the Yan family.

The two policemen knocked on the door and entered Yan's house. Just as they were about to speak, they were startled by Yan Bugui's appearance.

"Comrade, what's wrong with your mouth?"

"it's okay no problem."

Yan Bugui quickly covered his mouth, looking apologetic.

"Is it really okay?"

"It's okay!"

The police looked suspicious, but still started to ask about the case.

"You are Yan Bugui, right? What did you lose? When did you lose it? Let's register it first."

"My colleague, I'm sorry, we may have made a mistake, so we have to look for it again. Can you look at other stores first?"

Yan Bugui said hurriedly.

Family disgrace should not be made public. I must ask Yan Jiecheng first.

"I see. That's fine!"

The police were a little unhappy. They made a mistake right at the beginning of the investigation. This was a bad start.
