Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Sha Zhu shouted: "Of course it's a coincidence, whoever eats the chicken can't be the thief, right?"

"Section Chief Cao often eats chicken at home. Is he also a thief?"

When Cao Yue heard Sha Zhu involve him, he glanced at Sha Zhu sharply.

Then he looked in one direction and gestured to He Yushui.

He Yushui bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Anyway, it's good that the sister pays off the brother's debt.

Cao Yue's mouth curled up slightly.

However, he gave up his initial idea of ​​helping Sha Zhu and asked Yan Bugui to teach him a lesson to prevent him from thinking that he was very smart.

"Shazhu, don't confuse people. Chief Cao's family cooks pheasant, everyone has known it for so many years." Yan Bugui retorted loudly.

Sha Zhu sneered inwardly.

As a cook, my sense of smell is the most sensitive.

Cao Yue eats more than just pheasant at home.

But he knew he couldn't defeat Cao Yue, so he didn't dare to point it out.

Otherwise you will be the one who suffers.

Yan Bugui continued to ask: "Shazhu, you said your chickens were not stolen, so where did the chickens come from?"

Sha Zhu said casually: "I bought it at the vegetable market."

"You are talking nonsense." Xu Damao yelled.

"Which vegetable market did you buy it from? Dongdan or Chaoyang?" Yan Bugui didn't give Sha Zhu time to think and pressed on.

"Chaoyang Vegetable Market..."

"Hehe." Yan Bugui smiled with a look of success, "Shazhu, it takes more than 40 minutes to get from here to Chaoyang Vegetable Market by car, not to mention the time it takes to kill and cook chickens. When did you get off work today?"

Sha Zhu didn't expect Yan Bugui to be so insidious and directly trap him, and he was immediately speechless.

He subconsciously looked back.

Qin Huairu looked at him with pitiful and pleading eyes.

Sha Zhu's heart was shaken, his IQ instantly dropped to negative, and he was ready to be charged with the crime of stealing a chicken.

Just now.

"cough!"

Cao Yue, who had been silent, coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone knows that Shazhu is a chef and often cooks for people outside. It's normal for him to bring back a chicken occasionally."

When Cao Yue said this, Xu Damao and Yan Bugui became anxious.

What's happening here?

Aren't the two of them enemies? Why did Cao Yue speak for Sha Zhu?

Cao Yue ignored the expressions of others and continued:

"As for why Sha Zhu didn't admit it right away and lied about buying the chicken from Chaoyang Market, it was because the family he cooked for had a special status and it was not easy to say it in public."

"Also, everyone, come forward and take a look. The chicken in the pot doesn't even have a head. It's just half a chicken."

"Where's the remaining half of the chicken?"

"I can't let the idiot eat even the chicken bones."

As soon as Cao Yue finished speaking, Yan Bugui stood up, looked at the pot on the table, and immediately shook his head in annoyance.

"Oh, my eyesight isn't very good now that I'm old. There is indeed only one chicken left in the pot. It seems that the chicken was not stolen by Sha Zhu."

"A fence-sitter..." Xu Damao cursed inwardly. All the local specialties he gave were fed to the dogs and were of no use at the critical moment.

Xu Damao didn't dare to argue with Cao Yue, and muttered depressedly:

"What about my chicken? It wouldn't fly away for no reason, right?"

Cao Yue suddenly looked at Qin Huairu with a meaningful look.

Qin Huairu shuddered and lowered her head guiltily.

Xu Damao is not a fool. If we were to say who in the courtyard has the habit of stealing, it would be Bang Geng from Qin Huairu's family.

"Okay, Qin Huairu, it turns out that it was your Banggeng who stole the chicken."

Qin Huairu was panicked and looked to Sha Zhu for help in confusion.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing?"

Sha Zhu immediately stood up and pushed Xu Damao, then looked at Cao Yue and said:

"It was me who stole the chicken. I admit it. You can do whatever you want with it."

Xu Damao shouted, "Chief Cao, look, Sha Zhu admitted it himself. I'm going to call the police to arrest him."

In fact, after hearing this, everyone realized that something was wrong, and it was most likely stolen by Bang Geng.

It's just that Shazhu, in order to protect Widow Qin, dumped the blame on himself.

When He Yushui saw her brother's servile behavior, she was so angry that her body trembled.

He didn't even think about how important reputation is to a person nowadays.

He can ignore the consequences himself, so doesn't he care about the reputation of her, his own sister?

Cao Yue said calmly: "We need evidence to do things. You can't admit it just because you want to. If you talk back on behalf of others, then I and the uncle will become fools in solving the case."

"Chief Cao is right, Qin Huairu, go call Bang Geng out, and we'll know for sure if he was the one who stole it or not once we ask him." Yan Bugui said.

Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm: "Uncle, Banggeng is not feeling well today. He has a severe headache and went to bed early."

Cao Yue sneered: "In that case, Yan Jiefang, go and call Xiaodang and Huaihua out."

"Okay."

Yan Jiefang agreed and ran quickly to the central courtyard.

Qin Huairu was at a loss now. When Jia Zhang saw that something was wrong, she wanted to sneak away to report the situation, but was stopped by Cao Yue.

After a while, Xiaodang and Huaihua were brought out.

Banggeng followed behind, he didn't know yet that his mother had made him sick, his eyes were rolling around cunningly.

Yan Jiefang came over and exposed Qin Huairu's lies.

"Chief Cao, when I went there, Banggeng was playing with his two sisters. He wasn't sick at all."

Everyone's eyes were directed at Qin Huairu.

It is now clear without any interrogation that the one who stole the chicken is Bang Geng.

Cao Yue was too lazy to bother and asked directly: "Bang Geng, did you steal the chicken from Xu Damao's house?"

Bang Geng had a very high psychological quality, with a puzzled look on his face: "Chicken? What chicken? I don't know."

Cao Yue sneered, knowing that this kid would be stubborn, and looked at Xiao Dang.

Xiaodang looked at her brother, and Banggeng quickly winked at her. Xiaodang lowered her head weakly and whispered:

"I do not know either."

After all, Banggeng was young and not very scheming. He winked at his sister in public, which further exposed himself.

Cao Yue looked at the youngest Huaihua and smiled gently:

"Xiao Huaihua, tell Brother Cao, how was the chicken you ate today?"

Huaihua was young and could not understand the expressions of her brother and mother. She licked her lips and said happily:

"Brother Cao, the beggar's chicken my brother made is delicious!"

As soon as these words came out.

No need to ask anymore.

"I said Bang Geng was the most suspicious. This kid has always had dirty hands since he was a child."

"So, you just wrongly accused Shazhu? Why should he take the blame if he didn't steal anything?"

"Haha, who knows?"

"hey-hey……"

The neighbors looked back and forth between Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu.

Everyone naturally knows the reason, isn't it just because he covets the beauty of Widow Qin?

Sha Zhu's old face turned red with embarrassment.

Jia Zhang loudly defended herself: "It doesn't count. Huaihua is too young, how can we believe what she said?"

Yan Bugui said: "Children don't lie. Jia Zhang, you don't need to quibble. Since the evidence is irrefutable, just send him to the juvenile detention center."

"do not want!"

Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu shouted in unison.

When Bang Geng heard that he was going to the juvenile detention center, he finally felt scared and sat on the ground crying:

"I don't want to go, I don't want to go..."

Qin Huairu knew who to ask for mercy now.

She hugged Xu Damao's arm and cried:

"Da Mao, Bang Geng is still a child. As long as you don't pursue this matter, I am willing to compensate you for your losses. What are your conditions?"

Xu Damao glanced at Qin Huairu's face with lustful eyes, and his lustful heart was aroused.

He secretly hooked the back of Qin Huairu's hand, his intention was obvious.

Qin Huairu knew Xu Damao's plan and nodded slightly.

Xu Damao received the signal and stood up immediately.

"Chief Cao, uncle, I saw that Qin Huairu's family was having a hard time, so I promised to give her a chicken a long time ago. This chicken is not considered stealing."

Cao Yue knew that the two were going to settle the matter privately and didn't bother to meddle.

Moreover, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu have not had any conflicts recently, which is totally wrong.

If these two, the Dragon and the Phoenix, don't fight, how can they attract other people's attention and do bad things?

Not only did Cao Yue instigate Xu Damao and Sha Zhu to fight frequently, but now Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are also incompatible.

Even Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai had fallen out a long time ago.

This is all thanks to Cao Yue.

Afterwards, Cao Yue said a few polite words and directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.

The people in the courtyard realized that Xu Damao and Qin Huairu were up to something, and they all looked at Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e was eating melon seeds with a blank expression and no reaction at all.

Everyone thought that Lou Xiao'e did not give birth to a child, so they did not dare to care about Xu Damao.

night.

Cao Yue taught He Yushui to sing the song "Let's Row the Oars".

The meaning of this cannot be told to outsiders.
