The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 84, Lord Buddha

After walking for more than 20 minutes, we arrived at Section Chief Sun's home.

When they reached a three-in-one courtyard, Li Weiguo picked up his bicycle and stepped in with Shazhu.

In the front yard, an old man saw a stranger entering the yard. He immediately stopped him and asked warily: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, uncle, I'm from the security department of the steel rolling mill. I'm looking for Section Chief Sun." Li Weiguo took out the front door from his pocket and handed the uncle a cigarette.

This large courtyard is also a courtyard for the families of the steel rolling mill. When the uncle heard that it was one of his own who was looking for Section Chief Sun, he let down his guard.

He took the cigarette with a smile and pointed it inside to him. He said, "Look for Mr. Sun. He lives in the main room of the middle courtyard. You can just go there."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

After thanking the uncle, Li Weiguo took Shazhu to the middle courtyard.

In the middle courtyard, Sun Yucheng was setting up a table with others and preparing to play chess.

Li Weiguo and the two pushed the cart over and said hello: "Section Chief, how about playing chess?"

"Hey, Weiguo, you're a rare guest, come on, come to my room for a cup of tea first."

There were guests coming, so the chess game couldn't be played. As he said this, Sun Yucheng put down the chess piece and called the two of them into the room.

After entering the house, Sun Yucheng shouted to the middle-aged woman in the house: "Old lady, go make tea quickly."

"Hey, that's good."

"Don't bother Auntie, we'll leave in a moment." Li Weiguo stopped Sun Yucheng's wife.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you have a cup of tea first? Come on, sit down first." With that said, Sun Yucheng asked Li Weiguo and Silly Zhu to sit down.

The two sat down in response, and Li Weiguo put the cigarettes and cans on the coffee table.

When Sun Yucheng saw this, he immediately said angrily: "You kid, you came here as soon as you came, and you brought anything with you. Isn't this just showing off?"

Li Weiguo smiled and said: "Hey, section chief, it's not worth much. This is for the younger generation to respect their elders. Don't refuse."

"You."

Sun Yucheng pointed at Li Weiguo, shook his head with a smile, and then asked: "Okay, then I won't push you back and forth, it won't look good. Tell me, why are you here in this cold weather?" coming."

"Hehe. Section Chief, you still have a clever plan."

Li Weiguo smiled coquettishly, and then briefly told Sun Yucheng about the old lady's affairs, hoping that he would provide some ideas.

Of course, the old lady speculated that Li Weiguo had covered up this part. It was not easy to bring this kind of thing out and say it openly, as both buying and selling were guilty.

It is estimated that the thief also saw this and acted unscrupulously.

After hearing this, Sun Yucheng waved his hand: "Hey, I thought it was such a big deal. Come on, I'll take you to the institute and ask some acquaintances. It's just a Buddha, so it's easy to find him."

After that, he led the two of them to Jiaodaokou Police Station.

In BJ, there is such a group of men.

In the early days of liberation, they often roamed the streets of BJ and appeared wherever there were the most people.

They are well-dressed and have excellent psychological quality. They have no serious jobs and make a living by stealing other people's wallets. In the world, they have a nickname, "Buddha".

Why do we call thieves "Buddha"? In the old society, people who run in rivers and lakes had a special language system, called "Jianghu Spring Code", in which 'fu' is connected with 'Buddha', so people who call thieves are called Buddha.

After leaving the courtyard gate, the three of them went straight to Banchang Alley.

When they arrived at the station, the director was not there for the day off, so Sun Yucheng led the two of them directly to the police officer in charge of East Street.

"Xiao Xiang, come here."

"Sun Suo, why are you here?" Film policeman Xiang Hongjun saluted Sun Yucheng and then asked.

"I need your help. Do you know who is raising Buddha on Dongda Street?" Sun Yuzheng asked directly without mincing words.

"I know, East Street is the grandson of Monkey Three, Sun Suo, has he offended you?"

As the police officer in charge of East Street, Xiang Hongjun is very aware of some of the problematic people on these streets.

"That's not true, but someone is looking for him." Sun Yucheng shook his head.

Then Sun Yucheng said to Li Weiguo: "Weiguo, let me introduce to you, Xiang Hongjun, the film police officer in charge of East Street."

Then, he turned to look at Xiang Hongjun: "Xiao Xiang, this is Li Weiguo, the chief of the picket unit of the security section of the steel rolling mill. He has something to ask for your help today."

"Hello, Chief Li."

"Hello, Comrade Xiang Hongjun."

After the two shook hands and got to know each other, Sun Yucheng told Xiang Hongjun about the old lady again, hoping that he would lead Li Weiguo and Shazhu to find someone and find out the Buddha.

Buddhas can usually steal but not fight. As Ge You said, they are engaged in technical work.

And if they fail, they will be beaten up by the revolutionary masses and turned to the public security organs.

Nowadays, even if the Buddha succeeds, he is often blackmailed by the more unruly masters. In order to avoid losing all his money, the Buddha will usually join the sect of a certain player and pay tribute on time for protection.

There are also "Buddha eaters" in the compound, but of course they are a minority, because most of them are not short of money at all.

Buddha may take risks under tremendous work pressure. In order to steal more points, he does something forcefully knowing that it cannot be done, which increases the risk.

There was once a Buddha who was pursued by several untouchable players at the same time. In order to avoid the wind, he took the initiative to go inside the game.

Therefore, those who protect the Buddha are called raising the Buddha. Those who can raise the Buddha, eat the Buddha, and wash the Buddha are the masters who dominate one side.

Here on East Street, a player nicknamed Monkey Three is raising Buddha. Therefore, if you want to find the thief who stole the old lady, you are right to go directly to the big brother.

Hou San’s real name is Hou Jianjun, and he is the third eldest child in his family, so others gave him the nickname Hou San. He and Xiang Hongjun live in the same courtyard, and their family conditions are quite good, but they just like to hang out outside. Don't deal with it.

Xiang Hongjun didn't hesitate after hearing the whole story. He nodded immediately and said: "Okay, no problem. Chief Li, you two come with me and I will take you there."

With that said, Xiang Hongjun picked up the big cap on the table, put it on his head, pushed it onto the public bicycle, and led Li Weiguo and Silly Zhu out.

As for Sun Yucheng not following him, he, as an old man, could not help with what happened next. In this cold weather, Li Weiguo and Xiang Hongjun simply asked him to go home and rest.

After leaving the police station, three people and two cars went straight to Jiaodaokou East Street.

Xiang Hongjun is also enthusiastic. Along the way, he asked about the details of the case.

"Chief Li, you said that the old lady was given something by Buddha on East Street. Where was the money put at that time? In the upper and lower pockets of her coat, in her trouser pockets, or in her bag?"

Li Weiguo recalled it and replied: "It seems to be the pocket under the coat."

Hearing this, Xiang Hongjun nodded, probably having an idea in his mind.

Silly Zhu on the side was confused and asked: "Public Security Xiang, does this have anything to do with the case?"
