Siheyuan Diaosi Attack
Chapter 38 Found it
Looking at the other children in the yard, they seemed much thinner in comparison and did not have the healthy physique like Banggeng.
As for Jia Zhang, who was standing aside, her figure was so plump that she could almost be described as "fat". The way she sat on the stool made people involuntarily think of a fat pig.
This is far from the image in TV dramas, but in real life, the contrast is so stark.
Qin Huairu is different. She has a pretty face and is quite similar to Aunt Thirteen in the movie "Once Upon a Time in China". She gives people a gentle and beautiful feeling.
However, her character is considered by some to be too "white lotus", that is, she appears pure and innocent on the surface, but actually has a complicated mind.
At this time, people in the yard were whispering, but no one stood up to point out who stole the chicken.
This silence may be due to not wanting to get into trouble.
Because Jia Zhang was a notoriously difficult person in this courtyard, and no one would tell anyone even if they knew.
In such an environment, everyone's behavior appears to be particularly cautious and subtle.
Li Yue's eyes wandered around the yard, and the scene before him made him speechless.
At this moment, Xu Damao's voice broke the silence, with a hint of impatience in his tone, and he looked at Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, it's been so long and no one has admitted it, what do you think we should do?
If you can’t solve it, just call the police.”
When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his brows furrowed. He knew clearly what calling the police meant - once the matter escalated to the police station, it would not only affect the reputation of the entire courtyard, but could also further escalate conflicts between neighbors.
He cleared his throat, his voice steady and powerful: "Xu Damao, calling the police is not a solution, this matter needs to be resolved in the yard.
We can’t make a big deal out of this.”
Yi Zhonghai glanced at the crowd and continued, "Since no one has stepped forward, we have to take action.
We will search every household, and if we find the stolen chickens, the family will have to bear the consequences, and we will hand it over to the neighborhood committee to handle it.”
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, someone in the crowd in the yard started shouting in dissatisfaction: "Search the house? That won't do!
My family definitely didn't steal the chicken, why do you want us to be searched?"
The crowd suddenly became noisy and the atmosphere became tense and chaotic.
Li Yue stood aside and caught the oil stains left on Banggeng's clothes with his sharp eyes. They were the evidence left accidentally when eating chicken.
He thought of a simple and direct solution: Huaihua was the youngest, innocent, and would not lie. As long as he asked her, he could uncover the truth.
He walked over to Yi Zhonghai beside Sha Zhu and whispered, "Master Yi, I have a way to find the person who stole the chicken. What do you think?"
Yi Zhonghai was a little surprised to hear this, but he didn't think much about it and responded immediately: "Technician Li, if you have any good ideas, just tell me, I will listen to you."
Li Yue smiled slightly and said mysteriously: “You just need to wait and see what happens.”
Although Yi Zhonghai didn't know Li Yue's specific plan, he believed in the young man's ability, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, let you try, I hope we can find this person as soon as possible."
Li Yue didn't say anything and just stood aside, waiting for Yi Zhonghai to speak first.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai shouted to the crowd in the yard: "Everyone, be quiet! Technician Li just said that he has a way to find the person who stole the chicken. Let's stop arguing and give him some time. I believe he can give us a satisfactory answer."
After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the crowd gradually quieted down, and all eyes were focused on Li Yue, expecting him to solve the mystery. Li Yue nodded and said nothing more.
The crowd in the yard gradually quieted down at Yi Zhonghai's call. Everyone's eyes were focused on the newly moved in Li Yue, and their hearts were full of doubts: Can such a new face really find out who stole the chicken?
Li Yue was not affected by the gazes of the crowd. He walked straight towards the Jia Zhang family sitting in a corner.
When Jia Zhang saw Li Yue approaching, she immediately became alert and shouted, "What are you doing here?
I didn't steal the chicken, don't try to accuse a good person!"
There was a hint of uneasiness in her voice, as if she was afraid of being misunderstood.
Facing Jia Zhang's questioning, Li Yue just smiled calmly and responded: "I didn't say you stole the chicken, do you have something to hide?
Don't worry, I know it's not you, I just came here to ask the kid a few questions."
After hearing what Li Yue said, Jia Zhang's nervousness dissipated a lot, and she said with a little relief: "I'm glad you know it's not me!
Who do you want to ask? Just ask. "
There was a hint of helplessness in her tone, and she obviously didn't want to become the focus of everyone's attention because of this matter.
Li Yue's gaze wandered among the children of the Jia family, finally settling on the youngest, Huaihua.
He squatted down, looked at Sophora japonica at eye level, and asked in a kind and gentle tone: "Little friend, can you tell me your name?"
At the same time, he cleverly took out a biscuit from his pocket, which was the bait he had prepared in advance.
He handed the cookie to Huaihua and added, "If you tell me, I'll give you this cookie, okay?"
There was a glimmer of desire in Huaihua's eyes, and she answered without hesitation: "My name is Huaihua."
Li Yue kept smiling and continued to guide the topic: "So, is the chicken delicious?"
Huaihua didn't think much about it and blurted out: "Delicious!"
Li Yue then asked: "Where did you eat the chicken?"
Huaihua replied, "My brother's chicken is delicious, but he won't let me tell anyone."
With Huaihua's unintentional confession, the people in the yard instantly understood the truth - it turned out that Banggeng had stolen the chickens from Xu Damao's house.
This news was like a bombshell, causing ripples on the calm surface of the water.
When Jia Zhang heard Huaihua's words, her face suddenly changed. She pulled Huaihua over and slammed her palm heavily on her buttocks, angrily scolding: "You money-loser, what nonsense are you talking about!
See if I don't kill you! "
Her voice was sharp and angry, and she was obviously irritated by Huaihua's remark that Banggeng stole the chicken. Huaihua was also beaten and burst into tears.
At the same time, Qin Huairu stood there in a daze. She couldn't believe that her son would do such a thing.
It was not until she heard Jia Zhang's scolding that she woke up from her dream. She hurriedly pulled Banggeng over, tears welling up in her eyes, and asked with a sob, "Banggeng, why did you steal the chicken?
Do you know that this is wrong?"
Facing his mother's questioning, Bang Geng seemed a little flustered. He defended himself by saying, "Mom, I didn't steal the chicken. I picked it up."
There was a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness in his voice. At this moment, Xu Damao, who had learned the truth, came over angrily, grabbed Banggeng's clothes, and roared: "You little bastard, wait and see how I will deal with you today!"
His voice was filled with anger.
Obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with Bang Geng's behavior.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly stood in front of the stick, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she said to Xu Damao in a crying voice: "Xu Damao, he is still a child, you can't treat him like this.
Tell me, how can this matter be resolved?"
Xu Damao widened his eyes and looked at Qin Huairu. He retorted: "How to solve it?
Of course, I want to let this kid know, know, the consequences of stealing my chickens!"
Qin Huairu wiped away her tears and tried to calm herself down. She pleaded, "Xu Damao, I know Banggeng made a mistake, but please be magnanimous and don't bother with a child like him.
I can compensate you for your loss. Can't I just pay you money?"
