Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Everyone in the compound is numb, these melons keep coming in waves.

They had just caught Zhang Xiaohua, and now he reported Wang Fuguan. Their yard is almost becoming a den of thieves.

Wang Fuguan's face was full of panic, but he was still very obedient and was taken away together with Jia Zhangshi by two police officers. The radio was also taken away by the police as physical evidence.

Jia Dongxu cursed at Lin Baoyan in hatred and followed Yi Zhonghai to the east wing. Qin Huairu went home with her head down, while the others were scattered in the corridor, chatting excitedly.

The second aunt said excitedly: "I have noticed that there is something wrong with Wang Fuguan. You know, last night, my family was having the New Year's Eve dinner, and we heard this guy knocking on Lin Baoyan's door!"

Aunt Jin cracked some melon seeds and said flatteringly, "This Wang Fuguan is really outrageous. How could he knock on the neighbor's door during the New Year's Eve dinner?"

The second aunt slapped her thigh and said, "I thought so too. I was also wondering if Wang Fuguan was planning to take advantage of Lin Baoyan. So I wanted to go out and help the little girl. When I went out, guess what I heard?"

"What?" They all joined in the comedy.

"Wang Fuguan asked Lin Baoyan whether Zhou Gongan would be back in the evening!"

"Sigh~~"

"So, Wang Fuguan did it on purpose, to find out if anyone was at Zhou Gongan's house last night."

"Then he must be another thief!"

"What size are his feet? Is it a size 40?"

"There he is. He must be about 40 yards."

"He had size 40 feet and he even went out of his way to ask if Zhou Gongan was at home. Then Zhou's house was robbed. It must have been him who did it."

More and more people gathered around them. After listening to everyone's analysis, they all felt that it was indeed Wang Fuguan who stole the things.

The second uncle was also like the second aunt, with his belly bulging, spreading the exclusive news. He also added: "I was afraid that Lin Baoyan was deceived by Wang Fuguan, so I went to educate her for a long time. Alas, this child is useless. If she had told Wang Fuguan yesterday that Zhou Gongan would be back soon, maybe Wang Fuguan would not dare to steal from Zhou Gongan's house, and there would be no such trouble."

"Yes, yes, that's right. Children are ignorant. She shouldn't have told the truth to Wang Fuguan. Otherwise, there wouldn't be this. Hey, on New Year's Day, the police came to our yard to catch thieves. Then the surrounding yards will be in trouble for our yard."

When the reputation of the courtyard was mentioned, everyone who was talking about sex became quiet.

There has been no peace in this courtyard in the past two years. Their courtyard has never even touched the edge of the advanced courtyard title promoted by the street office. On the first day of the Chinese New Year this year, such a thing happened again. This year, the same thing happens again. The courtyard can forget about competing for the advanced title.

The No. 87 courtyard in front won the title of Advanced Siheyuan last year. At the end of the year, the street gave some rewards to the residents. Although it’s not much, it was free. The reputation is good. I heard that matchmakers are very diligent in going there.

People who have children of certain age at home are all very jealous when they see this.

Some people were looking for the culprit: "All the troubles in the past two years are related to the Jia family."

"Yes, in 55, the Jia family had a quarrel with Xiao Li and called the police, and they had a quarrel with the Xu family and everyone was told about it. Later, Wu Zhi moved in and they had another quarrel with Wu Zhi."

"Last year, the Jia family almost had a quarrel with Zhou Gongan again."

"This year it's even worse. I was caught stealing directly."

"It's not just the Jia family that's causing the trouble. Didn't Sha Zhu also have sex with Wu Zhi? And didn't Sha Zhu have a fight with Xu Damao last year? Sha Zhu even had a fight with his sister about splitting up the family."

"Anyway, it's just these few families that are making trouble. Otherwise, our compound would also be able to take the advanced title."

Yi Zhonghai went home to discuss things with Jia Dongxu, and everyone started talking more casually.

Last year, the factory classified the employees, and after assessment, Yi Zhonghai was classified as a seventh-level fitter. If he had not been so stingy and unwilling to take in more apprentices, let alone teach his apprentices real skills, which displeased the factory leaders, he would definitely have become the director of the workshop. Even if he could not become the director, he would have become a team leader, and it would have been impossible for him to remain without an official position like he is now.

However, a level seven fitter is already the top of the group of workers in the factory. Considering his craftsmanship, the factory has to give him some face and his words carry weight. Therefore, people who also work in the steel rolling mill in the compound dare not confront Yi Zhonghai in person, especially for the sake of others. It is really not worth it to provoke Yi Zhonghai to trip them up.

Yan Bugui counted on his fingers and covered his chest with his hands in pain.

Fang Daming asked curiously: "Uncle San, what kind of loss are you suffering?"

Yan Bugui gasped in distress and said, "I calculated the rewards from the entire compound and gave them to me for my household expenses. It will be enough for a long time."

Everyone was speechless. It seemed that you were planning to give all the welfare of the entire compound to you alone. It seemed that you were the only one who fought for this advanced courtyard.

Lin Baoyan had already returned home by this time, and He Yushui followed her.

"Aunt Jia is really brave." He Yushui still couldn't believe that Jia Zhang really stole the Zhou family's radio: "As long as that thing hasn't been moved out, it can be found by searching the compound."

"Have you forgotten the last time my house was robbed? They didn't search every house that time."

"But you didn't lose anything that time."

“Yes, but I didn’t search.”

Therefore, people's inertia of thinking will be focused on not being searched, not to mention that she chose a place that no one would normally remember. Normally, it is true that no one would remember it, but who asked each household to check themselves during the search, and then He Yushui remembered the cellar.

"Thanks to your reminder today, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to find anything to convict Aunt Jia." Lin Baoyan thanked He Yushui.

He Yushui tried to suppress the smile on his face and said, "No, no, it's just a reminder. Even if I'm not there, you will definitely find it in the end."

However, she asked in confusion: "Why didn't they check Wang Fuguan's shoe prints? Didn't anyone in the compound check the shoe prints? Aunt Jia may be a thief, but we can't guarantee that others are not thieves. There is still one shoe print that hasn't been checked."

Lin Baoyan was at a loss for words. What could she explain? Was last night a trap set up long ago, waiting for the enemy to fall into it? Or did the public security department already track down and arrest a large number of relevant enemy agents last night? They came to the yard to make a scene today because Jia Zhang did steal something, but it was also true as she said, she saw that the door of Zhou's house was not closed and sneaked in to steal things, and she had nothing to do with other thieves.

Jia Zhang didn't know whether she had good luck or bad luck. In fact, smoke screens were set in every household in the Central Courtyard. However, the enemy spies took too long to search the Zhou family's house, so the smoke screens lost their effectiveness. When they were retreating, Jia Zhang happened to wake up in the middle of the night, heard the noise, and saw that the Zhou family's door was wide open. Driven by greed, she went in and stole.

Of course, she only found out about this when she went to call the police in the morning. It had also been agreed in advance that she would report Jia Zhangshi and Wang Fuguan. Otherwise, how could there be only two police officers coming to investigate the case, and the entire investigation process would be like a child's play.

The relevant departments are very busy now and are really short of manpower. It is very rare to squeeze out two people to investigate the case.
