Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Jia Zhang failed to wake Jia Dongxu up. She wiped her tears and slapped Qin Huairu in the face.

There was a crisp sound of "pa", and everyone gathered around the bed felt pain on their faces. Qin Huairu's head was hit to one side, and she cried out in pain softly.

Someone pinched his throat and said, "Slapping is effective. Hurry up and slap him a few more times. Who knows, maybe he will wake up."

The others secretly said "Pah" in their hearts, and followed up with "Yeah, yeah, you have to know that it hurts before you can wake up."

Jia Zhang immediately hit Qin Huairu's face twice again. Sure enough, Qin Huairu covered her face and opened her eyes in a daze.

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu wake up, all her fear and worry disappeared. She immediately put her hands on her hips and turned around to curse, "Bah, none of you have good intentions. My son must be fine. Maybe he fell asleep and will wake up when he gets enough sleep. You guys should leave quickly. You have taken away all the heat from my house. If my son gets cold, it will be all your fault."

They have been neighbors for many years, and everyone knows who Jia Zhang is. Now that there is no more fun to watch, they all left with a grumble.

Yi Zhonghai heard the conversation inside from outside the window, and knew what their situation was, so he finally put his mind at ease.

I think the aunt is probably the same as the others in the Jia family, and will wake up when she has had enough sleep.

Someone ran over and told Yan Bugui about the Jia family's affairs, and Yan Bugui stopped knocking on the He family's door.

"I guess Shazhu is in the same situation as Jia Dongxu. We can't even knock on his door now. Why don't we let the whole family continue sleeping? They will wake up when they are full."

Yan Bugui discussed it with Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong certainly had no objection.

At this time, the third aunt came in with two police officers.

All the residents in the courtyard had a sense of déjà vu, and they all turned their heads in unison to look at Jia Zhang who had just walked out of the room.

Jia Zhang shrank her head, and hesitantly moved into the house, still saying stubbornly: "I didn't do anything today, so don't blame me if anything is lost this time. I have witnesses, and the three uncles can testify for me."

Everyone stared at her in silence.

The meaning is very clear. Last time you also said it was not you who did it. What happened in the end?

Some people started to grumble in their hearts, why are you, Zhang Xiaohua, and the three uncles still awake so late at night? It seemed that it was those three uncles who shouted there was a thief just now, so, was there really a thief, or did someone see something, and you four deliberately shouted there was a thief to cover it up.

As for why the Jia and He families couldn't be woken up, these people had forgotten all about it.

A police officer shouted, "Be quiet."

Everyone slowly shut their mouths and looked at the two police officers.

"Tonight, a group of habitual thieves came to our area and chose your yard. Our relevant departments have arrested these habitual thieves. You can rest assured."

The yard was quiet for a moment, then immediately became noisy again.

"Ah, so quick this time? The thief was caught so quickly."

"I must be dreaming, otherwise how could it happen so fast?"

"That's right. It's like they've been waiting to catch me."

"..."

Yan Bugui asked: "Comrade, there are still a few families here, why can't they be woken up?"

The two police officers looked at each other and one of them said, "It's okay. If you're worried, just spray some cold water on the person's face and they'll wake up. Otherwise, let them continue to sleep and they'll wake up on their own when they've had enough sleep." He added, "This won't have any effect on the body."

Someone shouted to Jia Zhang: "Zhang Xiaohua, why did you have to wake up your daughter-in-law just now? Just let her sleep until tomorrow morning."

"That's right. Those slaps were really hard. I think the marks will take a week to disappear."

"Or, just spray some cold water on Jia Dongxu. Zhang Xiaohua has been wanting to wake him up anyway."

"Yeah, spray some cold water on it."

Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and cursed: "You are all conscienceless. Seeing that my son was sleeping soundly, you wanted to wake him up. What? He will not have the energy to go to work tomorrow. You have to pay for it."

"Look at Jia Dongxu's nonchalant look at work. Does it make any difference whether he's energetic or not?" someone murmured in a low voice, and was quickly stopped by someone.

Yi Zhonghai is still here. If you say bad things about Jia Dongxu at work to his face and he hears it, he will probably make things difficult for you.

The police officer asked again: "Any other questions?"

Xu Fugui glanced at Aunt Xu, and the two of them shut their mouths and didn't say that the thief was found in the west wing. The couple saw the thief's movements at the time, but did not come out or shout that there was a thief.

Anyway, now that the thief has been caught, it doesn’t matter whether they speak or not.

I just don't know why those thieves went to the backyard specifically to blow smoke at Xiao Liu in the west room.

Xu Fugui worked for the Lou family before liberation, so how could he not know about the smoke-induced drug? Therefore, he suspected the identity of that Xiao Liu. Could he be the same as Zhou Kangzhan? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he dared not show up anymore.

After resolving the doubts of the residents of the courtyard, the two police officers relocked the Zhou family's house and left. Jia Zhang stared at the locked door, the greed and pity in her eyes almost overflowing.

However, when he saw the bracelet hanging on the public security officer's waist, he slowly returned to his home.

After returning home, he took out his anger on Qin Huairu: "Don't you see how cold the room is? Do you want to freeze our whole family to death so that we can make room for you?" Qin Huairu burst into tears after being scolded. She went out feeling aggrieved, secretly ran to the next door to pick up a coal briquette, and went home to replace it in the stove.

Zhou Kangzhan did not return to the courtyard, but went back to the Public Security Bureau. Although he had gained some results tonight, these gains were not enough for their plan.

For this operation, they even reported that there might be a shooting today, and as a result, they caught some gangsters.

They have been interrogated before. These people are all scoundrels who don't want to work and hang around all day. They were hired by someone to block them tonight. The leader who spoke in the middle doesn't know much. All we know is that the person who introduced this is a small leader in Pigeon City.

Now, they have sent people to capture this little boss.

But the more they investigated the matter, the angrier they became.

Excluding the people arrested in Siheyuan, their operation was considered a failure.

"Which link went wrong?"

A group of people reviewed today's entire operation in the conference room.

"There is no problem in getting out of the bureau and returning to the courtyard."

"No one saw 'Lin Baoyan' when they came out of the courtyard, so there is no problem with this part."

"During the first attack, 'Lin Baoyan' did not make a sound, and the environment at the time was not clear."

"That was the second attack. All the people were caught at that time. They also pointed out each other. They are indeed all here."

"So, there must be at least one person outside observing and then reporting the news. Finally, those five people went to the courtyard again."

"The enemy is becoming more and more cunning. Both attacks were smoke screens."

"Unfortunately, since they were unable to enter the room, we cannot be sure what their purpose is."

“We must pry open the mouths of those five people who went to the courtyard to find out who informed them to go to the courtyard, and what exactly are they looking for!”
