Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"Brother Chen, now that you're back, hurry up and solve the problem. Don't keep everyone waiting."

Chen Bogui took a few steps back after hearing this and looked at Lin Zhongyang, seeming a little hesitant. Lin Zhongyang thought this was all quite strange. But since Li Dazhong and Chen Bogui didn't speak, he could only take the initiative, otherwise Wang Qiang would really call the police.

"Zhao Qiang, you are new here and may not know the rules here. Problems in our compound have always been solved within the compound, and the police have never been used. In my opinion, why don't you go home first, and we will hold a meeting tomorrow to find the intruder at the scene and ask him to apologize to you, is that okay?"

"Lin Zhongyang, you are kidding me. After the meeting tomorrow, where are Xue'er and I going to stay tonight? Where are we going to put these things?"

Hearing the other party calling out his name, Lin Zhongyang felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he still suppressed it and said, "You can go home. No one will stop you from going back tonight."

"You must understand that my home has been listed as a crime scene by the police to collect evidence. If I go in now, how will the police collect evidence?"

Lin Zhongyang's patience seemed to have run out, and his tone became impatient: "Didn't I just say that I will help you solve it in the meeting tomorrow?"

Zhao Qiang sneered and asked back: "Do you know who pried open my door?"

"Don't guess blindly, how could I know?"

"Since you don't know, why wait until tomorrow to solve it? Once someone else enters the scene, it will inevitably affect the police's evidence collection and they will not be able to find the thief. If you don't know, why bother to obstruct it?"

The onlookers focused their attention on Lin Zhongyang, their eyes full of doubt. Many people seemed confused, as if they did not understand what the so-called "crime scene" and "evidence collection" meant, and they did not know why there were so many complicated procedures for calling the police.

Lin Zhongyang felt the pressure of everyone's gaze, and felt angry and embarrassed. He secretly swore in his heart that he really didn't know who the thief was, and he had no intention of destroying the scene. Even if he had a conflict with Zhao Qiang, he would never condone theft. He even considered offering sacrifices to the thief to save his face. When similar problems occurred in the compound in the past, he handled them in this way, and no one ever raised any objections.

Lin Zhongyang's idea was to discuss a solution with Li Dazhong and Chen Bogui while drinking in the evening.

"Don't talk nonsense. Why would I protect a thief? This has always been the rule in the compound. Don't worry, I will definitely find the thief and give you an explanation."

The look in Li Dazhong and Chen Bogui's eyes when they looked at Lin Zhongyang also changed. They all thought that Lin Zhongyang was too smooth. In this situation, he not only did not try his best to appease Zhao Qiang, but was also dragging his feet.

Lin Zhongyang explained, and seeing that some people still didn't believe him, he quickly winked at Li Dazhong and Chen Bogui, hoping that they could come forward to help. However, neither of them responded immediately, but lowered their heads and pretended not to see it.

In desperation, Lin Zhongyang had to ask Zhao Qiang: "Then how do you want to deal with it?"

"Since Brother Chen San said it's the rule of the compound, I'll give you a favor. You who are familiar with the compound can definitely guess who broke into my house. I'll give you half an hour to do what I ask."

"Our compound has always been civilized and harmonious. There is no way there could be a thief. It was most likely done by an outsider. Where can I find this person in half an hour?"

"During the day, my house is in the front yard. Who do you think would dare to risk coming in and commit a crime? The workers who delivered the goods have to rush home. If you don't intend to take care of it, don't waste your time. Brother Chen San, don't blame me for not giving you a way out."

Chen Bogui was really afraid that Zhao Qiang would call the police, so he stepped forward and said, "Zhao Qiang, you don't have to call me Third Brother. We will give you an explanation."

Without waiting for Zhao Qiang's consent, Chen Bogui pulled Lin Zhongyang back to the central courtyard, and Li Dazhong followed closely behind.

"Lao Lin, why do you have to pick on him? Why don't you just deal with the matter quickly? If he gets mad and slaps you a few times, don't blame us for not standing by you."

Li Dazhong also echoed, "Yes, there are people outside. Those porters all know you. Don't you feel ashamed to be beaten in public?"

Liu Dahai and Yan Bohui looked like they were watching the fun, while Yi Zhongjiang was full of worry. Qin Huaiqing had tears in her eyes, and she ran to Yi Zhongjiang with a choked voice, begging, "Uncle, you must save Mugen. He just went into Wang Jun's house for fun. He really didn't steal anything."

Only Yi Zhongjiang was willing to believe this, while Liu Dahai and Yan Bohui looked disdainful. A child playing around would pick someone else's door lock? This lie was outrageous.

Yi Zhongjiang didn't completely believe it, but he really had no other choice, so he could only reluctantly agree: "Lao Liu, Lao Yan, it's just a kid playing around, there's no need to call the police. What do you think?"

Liu Dahai wanted to laugh at Yi Zhongjiang, but he stopped talking immediately after looking at Qin Huaiqing. Everyone knows that a widow is not an easy person to deal with, let alone a widow with three children.

"Old Yi, this depends on Wang Jun's attitude. It's probably useless for us to persuade him. The key is whether he is willing to let this matter go."

Yan Bohui also echoed: "Old Liu is right."

Yi Zhongjiang knew what they meant, but he also realized that if he followed their words, Mu Gen would not be able to escape. If Mu Gen was caught, what would Qin Huaiqing do?

"Is Li Dasha here?" Yi Zhongjiang suddenly asked.

"Li Dasha is not feeling well and is lying in bed. Uncle, can you ask hard-of-hearing Grandma Zhang for help?" Qin Huaiqing pleaded.

Yi Zhongjiang frowned, but finally shook his head. Grandma Zhang was busy with household affairs and complaining about Qin Huaiqing's affairs, so it was impossible for her to help. At this time, anyone who asked her to come forward would only bring trouble to themselves.

Wang Jun obviously didn't have the patience to wait any longer, and he shouted directly in the front yard: "Uncles, if you don't come out, I'm going to call the police."

The four of them looked at each other and could only step out. Yi Zhongjiang frowned and walked in front, followed closely by Qin Huaiqing. Liu Dahai and Yan Bohui deliberately lagged behind, unwilling to be the first to step out.

"Wang Jun, as far as I know, this incident was caused by a few kids in our yard playing around. You don't have to bother with them. We are neighbors, there's no need to make things awkward."

"Forget it, that's so easy to say. The quilts in my house are all thrown on the floor, and you still say they didn't steal them? Ask everyone and see if they believe it."

This was the first time Wang Jun heard someone call stealing "taking". It was so shameless. To deal with such a shameless person, Wang Jun decided not to show mercy or be soft-hearted.

Yi Zhongjiang frowned and said, "What I said is the same thing. How can we use the word 'steal' between neighbors? It's too rude."

This logic made everyone laugh, even Liu Dahai and Yan Bohui couldn't stop laughing. Everyone present knew that Yi Zhongjiang always wanted to help Qin Huaiqing, and according to what he said, it was simply implying that he was ** Qin Huaiqing.

Everyone's eyes became ambiguous. Yi Zhongjiang's face turned red, and he pointed at Wang Jun angrily: "You are too unruly."

"Don't talk to me about the rules. According to the rules, you should help call the police and catch the thief. I'm asking you again, how do you plan to solve this matter? Don't tell me you want to forget it or hold a meeting tomorrow."

Yi Zhongjiang felt helpless after seeing Wang Jun say this: "Then what do you want to do?"

"Either I call the police and ask them to come and see how serious the loss is, and compensate me after catching the thief; or I can settle it privately and ask the thief to compensate me for my loss. Before I left, I forgot to take a hundred yuan with me and left it at home. Based on the situation at home, the money must be gone. In order to teach the thief a lesson, I think the loss should be doubled, let's say three hundred yuan..."

Before Lin Feng finished speaking, Li Na was dissatisfied: "Stop talking nonsense, my family doesn't have any money, you are slandering me, I will sue you!"

Lin Feng knew that during the farce last night, Zhou Jie and He Zhiyong were beaten for protecting her family, but Li Na didn't say a word. Her eagerness to stand up at this moment only showed one thing - the thief was likely from Li Na's house.

Indeed, they had just moved out of this house. Apart from their family members, who else would dare to open the door and enter the house?

"Well, if you're willing to make the trip, it will save me a lot of trouble."

Li Na immediately stopped crying and looked at He Zhiyong for help.

He Zhiyong was reluctant to let her spend money, so he said to Lin Feng, "You didn't even enter the house, how do you know that the hundred yuan is missing?"

"My lock was picked and the quilt was thrown on the floor. How could a thief let go of a hundred dollars? If you don't believe me, you can call the police to check."

"I've said it many times before. These are just kids playing in the yard, not real thieves. How about this, let's not call the police, and let the three of us go in and take a look."

"Okay, but if you destroy the evidence, I'll treat you as part of the thief's group."

Zhou Jie immediately said, "Lin Feng, I didn't want to go in, it was Lao He's idea."

Sun Bo also hurriedly explained: "I have no intention of going in either. I just advise you to follow the rules. If you are not satisfied, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Jie and Sun Bo both distanced themselves from the matter, fearing that they would be accused of obstructing the police from being called.

Li Na tugged at He Zhiyong's sleeve and said, "Uncle, Zhang Ming really didn't take his money. He locked the door, so how could he believe that someone from our yard would go to his house? I think he is blackmailing me."

He Zhiyong seemed to understand something when he heard this: "You said you lost a hundred yuan. Who can prove that your family has this money?"

Lin Feng thought, since these people are all hideous, he might as well take this opportunity to make them suffer a little.

The reason why we say the money was lost is that considering Li Na's family situation, she might be able to barely take it out.

"Why are you so stupid? My house was robbed and the things were thrown on the ground. Isn't this evidence? Thieves have an unwritten rule - thieves never return empty-handed. It means that once they succeed, they will never return empty-handed. In my room, there was only a quilt and a broken bed besides the money. Now the bed and quilt are still there. The thief obviously took the money."
