Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

"The purpose of holding this general meeting today is to convey the instructions of the subdistrict office to everyone. Now, please allow the most experienced uncle in our hospital to speak."

After everyone arrived, before Yi Zhonghai could say anything, Liu Haizhong stood up and talked a lot.

"Yes, today the secretary of the subdistrict office came to convey the instructions from the superiors..."

After Liu Haizhong sat down, Yi Zhonghai began to talk about the instructions from the Street Office.

"Oh, I came back at a good time. It's the day for a general meeting of the whole institute."

Halfway through the speech, a long-faced man in work clothes walked in pushing a bicycle.

"Xu Damao, be quiet, park your bike and listen."

Liu Haizhong quickly reprimanded him and asked him to attend the meeting.

Xu Damao?

Maybe Xu Changping came back at the wrong time before, so he never saw this person.

Xu Changping took a closer look and found that this person really looks like Xu Damao in the drama. It seems that this should be the original one.

After taking a look, Xu Changping withdrew his gaze and continued to secretly observe the man during the day.

The other person sat there very obediently, occasionally saying a few words to the person next to him, and Xu Changping didn't notice anything wrong for a long time.

Even after the meeting was over, Xu Changping was still thinking about it as he went home.

Lying down on the bed, Xu Changping suddenly shouted:

"system."

"Host, I am here."

"Does the special operations skill book I bought include reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills?"

"Yes, host, do you want to learn it now?"

"Xue, there must be something wrong with that man."

As soon as Xu Changping finished speaking, Lin Lan's virtual character was projected into Xu Changping's room.

The first thing Lin Lan said when she saw Xu Changping was:

"You've encountered something. You need to learn reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills."

"My house was robbed. I think it's not a simple matter, but I..."

Before Xu Changping finished speaking, Lin Lan knew what he meant, so he said:

"The first lesson in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance is psychology..."

"Okay, that's all for today. Come back to me after you've digested it."

Four hours later, seeing that Xu Changping looked dizzy, Lin Lan let him go and disappeared into his room.

Xu Changping lay down on the bed, thinking about the knowledge that Lin Lan had just taught him, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Xu Changping got up early. Today was Saturday and he didn't have to go to school.

Xu Changping wanted to find out about the man, so he took a basin, put a piece of clothing in it and went to the faucet in the middle courtyard, pretending to wash clothes.

"Xiao Xu is so diligent, he gets up early to wash clothes!"

Sure enough, after a while, the second aunt came out.

"Second Aunt, you're here early too."

"I have to get up early. Your uncle has to go to work later. I have to get up early to cook for him."

"You've worked hard."

"It's not hard. Your uncle is serving the people, and I take care of the logistics for him."

"Then you are busy."

Xu Changping saw her going in and out to get things, so he stopped disturbing her since the man hadn't come out yet.

After a while, Xu Changping finished washing all the clothes in the basin, but the man did not come out.

He was extremely depressed at the moment.

It's over,

....I made a misjudgment and came out too early.

But if I go back now to get another piece of clothing, I might miss the other person.

Xu Changping thought about it for a moment, then made up his mind, took off his coat and threw it into the basin.

"Xiao Xu, you are too clean. Your coat is not dirty at all!"

The second aunt came to the sink with plates and bowls and just saw Xu Changping's actions.

"This dress was just wet, but once it dries, there should be water stains."

"Young people just love cleanliness."

The second aunt muttered something and then concentrated on washing the dishes.

At this moment, Xu Changping saw the man walking out from the backyard out of the corner of his eye.

Xu Changping heard the second aunt greet the other party:

"Old Yu is going to work so early."

"Sister-in-law, my brother Liu hasn't left your house yet."

"Almost there. I'm changing clothes now."

"..."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Xu Changping saw the man leaving the central courtyard.

"Second Auntie, who is he? When the first uncle introduced the people in the courtyard to me before, I didn't see him."

"He is also a poor man. He works as a boiler operator in a steel mill and his wife is paralyzed at home."

The second aunt sighed with a look of regret.

"Has he no children?"

"No, he said that his wife became paralyzed due to an accident right after they got married, and he has been taking care of her all these years."

"That guy is really nice."

"Yes."

Xu Changping chatted with the second aunt for a few more words, then took the clothes and went back to his yard.

After hanging up the clothes, Xu Changping sat in a chair and thought about the information that the second aunt had told him.

No matter how I think about it, something seems wrong.

People of this era get married very early. Judging from his appearance, he must be over 40, which means he has been married for more than 20 years.

A normal man, his wife became paralyzed in an accident just after they got married, and then he took care of his paralyzed wife alone for so many years.

He would waste his entire life on a woman who was not related to him by blood and whom he had only met a few times. Even in a TV drama, he wouldn't dare to play it like this.

Xu Changping felt that there must be something wrong, but he couldn't call the police based on his intuition, so he could only investigate it himself.

Standing up and finding paper and pen, Xu Changping wrote down all the knowledge that Lin Lan had taught him last night, and slowly read through it and studied it.

The second aunt returned home and said to Liu Haizhong, who had not yet left the house:

"Lao Liu, I was washing dishes just now and I ran into Xiao Xu who was washing clothes. He asked Lao Yu in the backyard. Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"You just asked Lao Yu?"

"Ah."

"It seems that this kid from the Xu family is suspicious of the people in the upper courtyard."

"What? You said he suspected the person who entered his house was from the courtyard."

"Humph, if it's not from the yard, it must have flown in from outside."

"How is that possible? We have been in this hospital for so many years and have never lost a needle."

"Every family in this courtyard is poorer than the other. Those who have a little money, like our family and Lao Yi's family, always have someone around day and night."

"No way, then he shouldn't doubt Lao Yu."

"No, there's nothing wrong with that. I thought it was Jia Zhang who entered his house, but after seeing the attitudes of Old Yi and Jia Zhang, I knew it wasn't her. I just don't know why this kid from the Xu family would suspect Old Yu."

"It wasn't Jia Zhang. I went to Xu's house with Jia Zhang that day, and she didn't look panicked at all as if she had done something wrong."

"Doesn't Xu suspect Lao Yu? Just wait and see, the result will come sooner or later."

"I don't believe it was Lao Yu who did it. He is such a nice guy. He has been taking care of his paralyzed wife for so many years."

"Well, it's good to have more people. If my mother had been paralyzed for more than 20 years, I wouldn't be able to guarantee to take care of her."

Liu Haizhong said something in a sarcastic tone.

“You are…”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm going to be late for work."

Liu Haizhong interrupted what the second aunt was about to say, lifted the curtain and prepared to go out, leaving a sentence:

"The kid from the Xu family asked you about Old Yu. You should keep it to yourself and don't go out and tell others about it, so that you won't be implicated if Old Yu gets into trouble."

"Got it, go to your job."

The second aunt replied unhappily.
