Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

1961 October.

Overcast, light rain.

Sijiucheng West Railway Station.

Xu Changping looked at Zhou Jianguo, who was wearing a green military uniform and a big red flower, and felt a little emotional.

The lively and cheerful boy who loved playing basketball seemed to have grown up overnight.

This was his first and only friend after he came here. Thinking that he would leave today, Xu Changping was filled with emotion for a moment. He didn't know what to say, so he could only whisper:

"Go to the army, train well and take care of yourself."

"I will, don't worry."

Zhou Jianguo said with a bright smile.

Xu Changping put a small porcelain bottle into Zhou Jianguo's hand and said:

"There is a pill in here that can activate human potential. I hope you never use it."

When the winter vacation was over and he returned to school, he knew that Zhou Jianguo was going to join the army, so he began to study medicine frantically.

He didn't know about this period of history and didn't know whether Zhou Jianguo would go to the battlefield, but he couldn't stop him from joining the army.

Finally, he upgraded his medical skills to an advanced level before Zhou Jianguo joined the army, and this pill was made for him by him based on what he had learned and the herbs he bought in the system.

Zhou Jianguo's hand holding the porcelain bottle suddenly tightened, he nodded and said nothing.

This good friend of his was somewhat mysterious. He accidentally came across some books that Xu Changping had read, which were some Chinese medicine books that he could not understand.

Before getting on the bus, Zhou Jianguo suddenly said:

"Changping, I've already made arrangements for your job. Just go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and see Director Yang a week before graduation."

"okay, I get it."

"Woo~woo~~"

As the train whistle sounded, Xu Changping also walked out of the station.

He asked for leave today to see Zhou Jianguo off. He was feeling a little upset and wanted to find a quiet place to stay, so he took a bus directly back to the courtyard.

When she returned to the yard, Jia Zhang was sitting at the door sewing shoe soles. It seemed that she had not been eating well recently and she looked a lot thinner.

Xu Changping saw her mouth moving, and didn't know what she was mumbling, but he was in a bad mood at the moment, so he ignored her.

When Xu Changping returned to the east courtyard and was about to open the door, he saw that the lock on the door had been broken.

With a gentle push, he saw that the room was in a mess, and his sealed original body and his mother's relics were thrown on the ground at random.

Xu Changping also saw that a very beautiful woolen coat of Xu's mother was slashed by some unknown sharp weapon.

He was originally in a somewhat depressed mood, but it was instantly replaced by anger.

Who did it?

Could it be the Jia family who did it?

Xu Changping was so angry that he didn't care about keeping a low profile and prepared to go find Jia Zhang.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, Xu Changping suddenly stopped.

wrong,

Not the Jia family,

If it was the Jia family, judging by the way Jia Zhang behaved in the plot, she would definitely not just rummage through things, she would definitely take some things away.

Although he just took a quick glance and did not check carefully, there was nothing missing in the room.

He turned around and went to Liu's house.

"Second Aunt, are you home?"

"Hey, who's there?"

As she spoke, the second aunt lifted the curtain, and the somewhat thin face appeared in front of Xu Changping.

"It's Xiao Xu! What's the matter?"

"Second Auntie, someone went into my room, did you know?"

"What? That's impossible! There's nothing going on over there and no one's going there! What did you lose?"

"Before I even entered, I saw the lock at the door had been pried open and the house was turned upside down."

"Oh, this is a big deal. I'll go take a look."

As he said this, he hurriedly rushed towards Xu Changping's yard.

"Hey, what's going on? The little bastard from the Xu family invited you to dinner. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Jia Zhang, who was sitting at the door, saw the second aunt's actions and said something sarcastic.

"Jia Zhang, stop talking nonsense, Xiao Xu's house was robbed."

"What? I'll go check it out too."

Jia Zhang stood up in surprise, and was willing to put down the soles of the shoes that she would never finish sewing.

Seeing what Jia Zhang did, Xu Changping became even more certain that this was not done by the Jia family, otherwise Jia Zhang would have gone into the house guiltily.

The two men arrived at Xu Changping's house and were frightened when they saw what was inside.

After all, Xu Changping's house was inside, surrounded by everyone's houses. If his house was robbed, then his own house would be in danger as well.

"Xiao Xu, did you leave your money at home?"

Jia Zhang looked at the scene and immediately asked with a turn of eyes.

"No, I brought it with me."

Xu Changping couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw that Jia Zhang was still thinking about his money.

"Second Auntie, since you don't know what happened, I will call the police."

"Okay, call the police and find out what's going on."

Second Aunt agreed immediately. Now that someone had entered the yard without anyone noticing, she felt that her home was also in danger.

"Then help me maintain the scene and don't let anyone else in. I'll go get the police to take a look."

When Xu Changping said this, he deliberately glanced at Jia Zhang.

Second Aunt also knew what Xu Changping meant and promised:

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you."

After saying that, he moved to Jia Zhang's side, blocking her intentionally or unintentionally.

Without keeping the two ladies waiting for long, Xu Changping soon came back with two policemen.

After the two policemen inspected the scene, one of the older policemen said to Xu Changping:

"Comrade Xu, please go in and see if there are any valuables missing."

Xu Changping obediently went in, looked around, and then came out and said to the police:

"Nothing is missing. I have all the valuables in my house with me."

"Is there anything special at Comrade Xu's house?"

"No, everything I have at home is here. The only valuables are money, which I carry with me."

"So do you have any enemies? Or do your family members have any enemies?"

"I don't have any enemies. My mother passed away last year, and now I am the only one left at home."

"Comrade Xu, after our on-site investigation, we found that the other party was looking for something, but didn't find it, so he took the thing to vent his anger."

"As for why he took your mother's belongings to vent his anger, there are two possibilities. One is that he took them randomly, and the other is that the other party knew your mother and was looking for your mother's things. When he didn't find them, he took her clothes to vent his anger."

"During this period of time, we will check your mother's social connections. You should also find out what the other party is looking for. Otherwise, you may encounter this kind of thing again in the future."

"Okay, I got it, thank you."

Xu Changping thanked the two policemen and then escorted them out the door.

Before leaving, the older policeman turned around and said something.

"Well, if you have time, you can also pay attention to the people in your courtyard. The location of your house is very special, and there are not many people who can come in quietly."

Xu Changping thanked the two again before returning to the courtyard.
