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

After the community meeting, Uncle Sanda and Shazhu returned to their homes. However, despite the community's heightened safety awareness, Uncle Sanda still felt uneasy and felt that there were still some things that needed to be figured out.

"After this incident, I always felt something was wrong." The third uncle said with a frown while sitting in the living room.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu asked in confusion, "What do you mean is wrong?"

"I think this theft incident has nothing to do with us. Someone might have deliberately designed it." The third uncle said solemnly.

Sha Zhu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Third Master would have such suspicion. "Are you saying that someone deliberately wants us to take the blame?"

"I'm not sure, but this possibility cannot be ruled out." The third uncle frowned and said, "We must find out the truth and not let the real criminal go unpunished."

Sha Zhu nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can't let innocent people be wronged, we must find out the truth."

So, they decided to conduct their own investigation to find out the truth behind it.

The next morning, they started their action. They first went to different places to inquire about the news, hoping to find some clues.

By chance, they learned a shocking news - someone in the community once saw a stranger hanging around the door of the old man's house.

"It seems that this stranger is the key." The third uncle frowned and said, "We must find him and find out his relationship with this incident."

Sha Zhu also nodded. He felt that this clue was very important. "Let's investigate first and see if we can find his whereabouts."

So, they started their action. They searched the community separately, hoping to find the stranger's trace.

After some searching, they finally found the whereabouts of the stranger. They discovered that he lived in a rental house near the community.

Uncle Sanda and Shazhu were suddenly moved. They thought that this person might be the mastermind behind this incident. They decided to take immediate action to arrest him.

They came to the rental house and tiptoed to listen for any movement inside. After a while, they heard a slight sound, as if someone was inside.

"He should be inside." Sha Zhu said in a low voice.

The third uncle nodded, and they decided to make preparations first and then capture him in one fell swoop.

So they opened the door carefully and rushed in. They found the stranger standing in the room, looking at them with horror.

"You are the one who stole our bicycles!" said the uncle coldly.

The stranger shook his head innocently: "No, I didn't steal the bike."

"Don't think we don't know that you are the mastermind behind this!" Sha Zhu said angrily.

However, the stranger stubbornly denied: "I really am not! I am also a victim!"

When Uncle Sanda and Sha Zhu heard this, they felt something was wrong. They felt that there was something wrong with the words of this stranger.

"What are you talking about?" The third uncle stared at him coldly, trying to find flaws in his words and behavior.

"I was also framed!" the stranger said in a trembling voice, "I really didn't steal the bicycle. This was all deliberately arranged by someone else."

After hearing the stranger's explanation, Uncle Sanda and Shazhu felt a little hesitant. They felt that the stranger's words sounded somewhat real, but also somewhat unbelievable.

"What are you talking about?" asked the third uncle with a frown.

After hearing what the stranger said, Uncle Sanda and Shazhu had doubts in their hearts. They thought the stranger's statement was a bit unbelievable, but they had to consider this possibility.

"You said you were instructed by someone. Who instructed you?" The third uncle stared at the stranger, trying to find out the truth from his words.

The stranger was silent for a while, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth. Finally, he raised his head and said firmly, "It was Teacher Ran who ordered it."

When Uncle Sanda and Shazhu heard the name, they were shocked. They all knew that Teacher Ran was a teacher in the community, respected and trusted by the residents. However, they did not expect that Teacher Ran would be involved in this incident.

"Are you sure it's Teacher Ran?" Sha Zhu asked in disbelief.

"I can give you evidence." The stranger smiled mysteriously, then took out a note from his pocket and handed it to the third uncle.

The third uncle took the note and looked at it carefully. There was a line of words written on it: "I'll wait for you by the stone bridge at 8 o'clock tomorrow night." The signature was Teacher Ran.

After reading it, he handed the note to Sha Zhu with a serious expression. "It seems we have to go to the stone bridge to find out the truth of the matter."

Sha Zhu nodded in agreement. Although they were shocked and puzzled by Teacher Ran's instigation, they felt that they had to find out the truth and not jump to conclusions.

So, the next night, Uncle Sanda and Sha Zhu came to the stone bridge, ready to wait for Teacher Ran to arrive.

As night fell, the moonlight fell on the stone bridge, and everything seemed quiet and peaceful. Uncle San and Sha Zhu waited quietly, their hearts full of anticipation and nervousness.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps in the distance, and they immediately stood up alertly. Soon, a figure appeared at the end of the stone bridge.

"It's Teacher Ran!" Sha Zhu recognized the figure immediately when he saw it.

The three uncles also frowned. They didn't know why Teacher Ran wanted to contact a stranger and were full of doubts.

Teacher Ran walked up to them and said seriously, "Why are you here?"

"We got some clues and want to talk to you." The third uncle said straight to the point.

Teacher Ran's expression was a little stiff. He obviously didn't expect that Uncle Sanda and Sha Zhu would come to him. However, he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "Okay, let's find a place to sit down and have a good chat."

So they found a lawn and sat down. Teacher Ran was a little surprised by the arrival of Uncle San and Sha Zhu, but he still listened to them politely.

"We found some clues about you and hope you can give us an explanation." said the third uncle.

Teacher Ran's face changed slightly after hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure. He smiled slightly and then said, "What did you find?"

The third uncle handed him the note. He took a look at it and his expression immediately became serious. "This is..." His voice trembled a little.
