Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

After the two directors arrived at the Red Star Courtyard based on the police's report, Deputy Chief Qiao frowned. When Chief Ma saw it, he said, "It can't be Jia Geng. Old Qian just said that the injured person was a child of sixteen or seventeen years old. There is a big age difference between the two. However, there are indeed several children of sixteen or seventeen years old in this courtyard. Let's go and talk about the specific situation after we go inside." After that, Chief Ma left two policemen to guard the gate and led the others into the yard.

The third uncle who was in charge of the gate had registered at the police station, so Director Ma and Lao Qiao went straight to Yan's house without going anywhere. After entering the house, they didn't waste any words and asked the third uncle if he had seen any strangers enter the yard?

"No, I was just cooking outside and watching the gate. I didn't see any outsiders coming." The third aunt replied.

Director Ma then asked, "Have you seen anyone come back with an unusual look on their face? Especially young people."

"No, everything is normal, but it's dark and I can't see clearly." The third aunt thought for a moment and answered, then asked, "Ma Suo, what happened? Whose child stole the things?"

"Stealing, it would be fine if it was just stealing!" said a policeman with a beard.

The third uncle heard the tone and said, "It's more serious than stealing. How could it be murder?"

"You're right. They stabbed people with a knife. The injured are being treated. It's quite serious. The preliminary diagnosis is that they are some sixteen or seventeen-year-old children." Director Ma glared at the bearded man and asked, "Old Yan, how old are your children?"

The third uncle immediately sat up straight to clear the suspicion for his second son: "Ma Suo, my Jiefang is eighteen this year, but that kid doesn't have the courage to hold a knife. He faints when he sees blood."

"My Jiefang hasn't gone out all day today, and he's in the inner room right now." The third aunt followed suit, and then called to the inner room: "Jiefang, come out."

Yan Jiefang was lying on the bed when the police arrived. The soundproofing of the house was not good, so he could hear the conversation between the third uncle and Director Ma. When he heard that someone was stabbing someone with a knife, Yan Jiefang walked to the door and listened more carefully. When the third aunt called him, he immediately appeared in front of them.

Seeing that he looked calm and not panicked, Director Ma knew that today's incident had nothing to do with him. He asked a few questions and then turned to the third uncle and said, "Are there any other boys in our yard who are similar to Jiefang?"

"Then there are only Guangtian and Guangfu from the Liu family, and the next one is about the same age as Banggeng from the Jia family. I'll ask Jiefang to call the two brothers over for you to ask. Although the two kids are not very well behaved, they rarely fight." Seeing Director Ma nod, the third uncle said to Yan Jiefang, "Go call Guangtian and Guangfu over and tell them that I have something to talk to them about. Don't say anything else, understand?"

Yan Jiefang agreed and quickly brought the two Liu brothers home.

Looking at the shocked expressions of the two brothers when they came in, Director Ma nodded to the third uncle, who smiled in return, feeling very satisfied with his second son.

Liu Guangtian and his brother quickly shook off suspicion, but they looked at Yan Jiefang with a squinting eye, obviously unhappy that he knew about the incident but didn't report it. The third uncle said to the two brothers, "Don't blame Jiefang, we asked you to do this. If this incident is related to you two and the news leaks out, it will be his responsibility."

The bearded man said, "Chief, someone did enter the yard, and it wasn't them. So we can only look for the younger boys."

Old Qiao said, "Could it really be Jia Geng?"

"It's possible. Don't underestimate Bang Geng. He has killed chickens before. I heard he drained the blood and took out the internal organs after killing them. He is really brave." The third uncle told the police the truth. After hearing what he knew, Director Ma and others were sure that the murderer was Jia Geng.

Under the watchful eyes of the police, the third uncle knocked on the door of the Jia family. Seeing Banggeng hesitating in the inner room, he shouted, "Jia Geng, you are at home too." Banggeng was wondering why the third uncle came to his house and shouted his name so loudly when a group of ferocious police rushed in and pressed him on the bed.

Mrs. Jia shouted, "What are you doing? Why are you arresting my grandson?"

Qin Huairu also asked: "Comrade, what's wrong? Why are you grabbing the stick?" Seeing that the other party was just looking for something in the house and didn't answer her, she asked the third uncle: "Third uncle, what's wrong?"

"Qin Huairu, don't ask me. You should ask your Bang Geng. He knows what he did." The third uncle replied as he watched the busy actions of the police.

"Uncle, did Banggeng steal your things? I can just compensate you. We have been neighbors for many years. There is no need to report to the police station." Qin Huairu said in a complaining tone.

"Qin Huairu, this matter has nothing to do with me. It was your Bang Geng who got into trouble outside."

"Found it. I didn't expect he put it in the urinal. He's really good at hiding." The bearded man held up a bloody dagger and handed it to Director Ma.

Director Ma looked at the dagger, then at Mrs. Jia and Qin Huairu who were trying to pull the stick, and said, "You can see that this is Jia Geng's murder weapon. He just stabbed someone with this dagger. That person is still in the hospital. You should hope that the person doesn't die, otherwise, Jia Geng will..."

"Boom..." Director Ma's words were like a thunderbolt. There was only a buzzing sound in Jia Pozi and Qin Huairu's heads, and they could no longer hear any other sound.

Following Chief Ma's order to "take away", the police officers escorted Bang Geng away like the wind. Although the yard was full of onlookers, no one spoke, not even a whisper. Everyone was looking at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family standing at the door.

"Bang" "Crackle" Mrs. Jia could no longer stand and fell down, knocking over the washbasin stand. "Mom..." Qin Huairu was awakened by the sound. She went forward to help Mrs. Jia up, but was forced to her knees by her fat body.

The first uncle called the three uncles of the Chen family next door to Shazhu to help put Jia Pozi on the kang in the inner room. The first aunt and Qin Huairu pinched her philtrum and rubbed her chest, and Jia Pozi slowly woke up. As soon as she woke up, she began to wail: "Banggeng, my grandson, why?" As she was shouting, Jia Pozi remembered that the police came with the third uncle Yan Bugui, "Yan Bugui, you damned bastard, you killed my grandson, you damned bastard, you damned ghost. If anything happens to my Banggeng, I will never forgive you. You old Yan, you are so stingy and calculating. Old Jia, come and have a look, the Yan family is bullying us orphans and widows, come and take them all away."

The third uncle didn't want to bear the bad name of bullying orphans and widows, so he said, "Everyone, you all saw what happened just now. If you don't know why, let me tell you now. This evening, a knife attack occurred not far from our yard. The injured was a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old. He is now in the hospital for treatment. The public security comrades tracked the criminal to our yard based on the traces left by the criminal. They originally suspected that it was done by a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, and they asked the brothers Jiefang and Guangtian." He looked at the three and they all nodded to show that what the third uncle said was true. The third uncle continued, "There are only three boys of seventeen or eighteen in our yard, and the next one is Banggeng and the boy from the Cao family in the backyard. The public security comrades suspected it was Banggeng, and sure enough, they also found the murder weapon in the Jia family. This is what happened. Jia Zhang, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."
