Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

So the two of them began to search along the river bank, carefully observing every corner, trying to discover the secrets hidden in it.

In a patch of weeds, He Yuzhu found a forgotten item. He walked over, picked it up carefully, and found that it was a piece of worn cloth.

"What is this?" Liu Haizhong walked over and asked curiously.

He Yuzhu frowned and observed the cloth carefully. "It looks like a piece of rag. It might have been lost."

The eyes behind his bangs flashed with a hint of vigilance, "Is this the clue we are looking for?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "It's very likely. We have to take it back and see if we can find some useful information from it."

The two men carefully put the rag into their arms and continued searching along the river bank. As they searched, they exchanged their guesses and speculations about the incident.

"Maybe this is just a misunderstanding?" Liu Haizhong suddenly said.

He Yuzhu stopped and stared into the distance, "Maybe, but we can't take it lightly."

Liu Haizhong nodded, "Yes, we have to be careful."

They continued to search, hoping to find more clues and solve the mystery. The wind on the river bank gradually cooled down, and the moonlight sprinkled on the water, quiet and peaceful.

Time passed by, and they still didn't find any more clues. Finally, He Yuzhu frowned, secretly lamenting the complexity of this mystery.

"Uncle, why don't we go back and think of other solutions," Liu Haizhong suggested.

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, let's go back and rest first."

When He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong returned to the courtyard, they were startled by a scene at the gate. They were surprised to find that the front wheel of He Yuzhu's bicycle had been removed and placed next to the gate.

"What's going on?" He Yuzhu frowned, and anger surged in his heart.

Liu Haizhong also said angrily, "This is obviously intentional! Someone wants to make trouble!"

The two immediately checked the bicycle and confirmed that there was no other damage except that the front wheel was removed. They felt heavy-hearted and very angry and dissatisfied with this prank.

"Is this the clue we have been looking for?" Liu Haizhong frowned.

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and thought of a possibility, "Maybe this is indeed a clue. Maybe someone wants to convey some information to us."

Liu Haizhong nodded, "Yes, we have to think carefully and see what is hidden behind this."

So they decided to conduct a deeper investigation into the matter and carefully observed the environment around the bicycle, trying to find some clues.

After looking around the yard, they found some footprints that seemed to have been left by someone who had removed the front wheel. They immediately followed the footprints, trying to find some useful clues.

"Uncle, where do these footprints lead to?" Liu Haizhong asked.

He Yuzhu thought in a low voice, "This should be the direction from the yard. Let's follow the footprints and see."

They followed the direction of the footprints and soon came to the outside of the yard. In a corner of the wall, they found some damaged marks, which seemed to be left when the front wheel of the bicycle was removed.

"It seems that these footprints really came from here." He Yuzhu frowned.

Liu Haizhong looked around, trying to find more clues, "We have to keep tracking it, maybe we can find some useful clues."

So they decided to continue walking in the direction of the footprints, passing through narrow alleys and crowded streets, looking for possible clues along the way.

In their continuous investigation and search, they finally found a suspicious place. Near an abandoned warehouse, they saw some suspicious figures.

"Uncle, what is that?" Liu Haizhong said, pointing to the distance.

He Yuzhu clenched his fists tightly, determined to solve the mystery, "Let's go over and take a look."

They approached quietly, trying to find out the identities and movements of those people. In the darkness, they vaguely saw several people talking about something.

"Could it be that group of villains?" Liu Haizhong asked in a low voice.

He Yuzhu stared ahead, a fighting spirit ignited in his heart, "Only by going there and seeing it in person can we confirm it."

He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong quietly approached those suspicious people, trying to spy on their movements. In the dark, they carefully observed each other's every move.

Suddenly, they heard a low conversation, which seemed to be discussing something important. He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong exchanged glances, suggesting that each other should be prepared.

At this moment, a suspicious person suddenly turned around and seemed to have discovered their tracks. They immediately realized that something was wrong and did not dare to stay any longer, so they turned around and wanted to leave.

However, at this moment, a strong light suddenly shot out from the warehouse, exposing them. They looked across in panic, only to see a group of people walking towards them.

"Run!" He Yuzhu shouted loudly, and immediately turned around and rushed outside.

Liu Haizhong followed closely behind, shouting as he ran, "Run, someone is chasing us!"

They quickly ran through the alley and headed for the courtyard. The sound of footsteps and noise behind them filled them with fear and tension.

As they were running, suddenly, a suspicious man blocked their way, sneering and holding a heavy hammer in his hand, as if he was going to attack them.

He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong immediately stopped and prepared to deal with possible dangers. Their eyes were sharp and firm, ready to deal with possible challenges at any time.

"Who are you? Why are you following us?" the suspicious man asked coldly, with a murderous gleam in his eyes.

He Yuzhu faced him calmly and said without showing any weakness, "We are just looking for our bicycles. Have you seen them?"

Liu Haizhong also joined in, "Yes, we just want to find our lost property."

The suspicious man frowned, as if thinking about what they said. "Bicycle?" he muttered to himself, then turned and left.

He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong looked at each other, and a trace of doubt arose in their hearts. Could this person be related to the theft of the bicycle?

They didn't have time to think about it and immediately continued to run forward. In their minds, there was only one thought, which was to return to the courtyard as soon as possible and call the neighbors to discuss countermeasures together.
