Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

The night is like ink, full of stars.

In the bustling city, a dilapidated residential building looks particularly lonely.

This is where Chen Fei lives, an ordinary single room. Although it is simple, it is full of his life atmosphere.

Fade Chen lay on the bed with his eyes closed and brows furrowed, as if he was lost in deep thought.

At this moment, there was a sudden hurried knock on the door, breaking the silence of the night.

Fade Chen suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and looked towards the door vigilantly.

I slowly got out of bed and carefully opened the door, only to see two young women standing outside, one with an elegant temperament and the other looking a little impatient.

"Fade Chen, you are at home after all!" the elegant woman said. Her voice was clear and pleasant, revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, then he recognized the two women in front of him.

The one with elegant temperament is Yu Li, while the other impatient woman is her sister Yu Haitang.

I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled as to why they came to visit me so late at night.

"What do you guys need?" Fade Chen asked tentatively.

Yu Haitang didn't wait for Chen Fei to finish, and said anxiously: "Chen Fei, we suspect that you have a tendency to voyeurism, theft and violence!"

The voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment. He never thought that he would be charged with such a crime.

"How is this possible? Although I am not a good person, I would never do such a thing!"

Seeing this, Yu Li quickly grabbed her sister and signaled her not to be impulsive.

"Fade Chen, we are not suspecting you for no reason. Recently, some strange things have happened in our home, such as the door lock being pried open, the windows being broken, and even some personal belongings being lost. And when these things happened, you always happened to appear nearby. That's why we suspect you."

After listening to Yu Li's words, he explained: "I swear, I really didn't do these things! I am busy working every day to make money, where do I have the time to do these things?"

Yu Haitang refused to believe Chen Fei's words easily. She widened her eyes and stared at Chen Fei closely, as if she wanted to find some flaws in his eyes.

However, Chen Fei's eyes were extremely firm, without any evasion.

Seeing this, Yu Li knew that the problem would not be solved if she continued like this.

"Let's put it this way, Chen Fei. We have decided to personally investigate your true situation. If you really have not done these things, we will naturally apologize to you; but if we find evidence... then you must bear the corresponding responsibility."

"Okay, I accept your investigation. But I also hope that you can handle this matter fairly and not wrongly accuse a good person."

Yu Li and Yu Haitang looked at each other and nodded.

They decided to go together to investigate Chen Fei's true situation the next day.

Early the next morning, Fade Chen was awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door.

He opened the door and saw Yu Li and Yu Haitang standing outside.

They were dressed in plain clothes and holding some simple investigative tools in their hands, and it was obvious that they were fully prepared.

Fade Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes and followed them out of the room.

They came to the place where Chen Fei usually worked - a small restaurant.

The owner of the restaurant was very familiar with Fade Chen. Seeing Fade Chen coming with two young women, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Fei, are these two your friends?"

Chen Fei nodded, and then briefly introduced the identities of Yu Li and Yu Haitang.

After hearing this, the boss showed a look of surprise on his face.

He looked at Yu Li and Yu Haitang, then whispered to Fade Chen, "Xiao Fei, these two ladies don't look like ordinary people. You better be careful and don't get into any trouble."

I know what the boss said is not groundless.

But he still smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, boss. I know what I am doing."

After they left the restaurant, they came to where Chen Fei lived.

Yu Li and Yu Haitang carefully checked every corner of the room, including under the bed, in the wardrobe, and even some hidden gaps.

However, they did not find any suspicious objects or traces.

Seeing this, Fade Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his innocence had been proven.

However, at this moment, Yu Haitang suddenly pointed at a table and said, "What is this?"

Fade Chen looked in the direction of her finger and saw a worn-out dagger on the table.

He was startled and quickly explained: "I picked up this dagger and I have kept it here without moving it."

Yu Haitang didn't believe him. She picked up the dagger and examined it carefully. Then she said, "This dagger looks very sharp. Have you used it to do anything?"

Chen Fei was suddenly speechless.

He knew that he had indeed picked up the dagger, but he had never used it to do anything.

He shook his head helplessly, and then said: "I really haven't used this dagger to do anything! If you don't believe it, you can ask the police to investigate."

Seeing this, Yu Li quickly grabbed her sister and signaled her not to continue.

I know that if I continue like this, I might wrongly accuse a good person.

"Okay Haitang, I believe what Fade said. This dagger does look very sharp, but that doesn't mean it has been used for anything."

Although Yu Haitang was still somewhat unwilling, she had no choice but to give up the idea since her sister had spoken.

"You're lucky! But we will continue to investigate! If you really did something bad, we will never let you go!"

"Okay, I'm ready to accept your investigation at any time."

After Yu Li and Yu Haitang left Chen Fei's residence, they came to a teahouse.

We found a quiet corner, sat down and began to discuss the next plan.

"Sister, do you think there's really nothing wrong with Fade Chen?" Yu Haitang asked.

Yu Li was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "I'm not sure either. But at least from the current situation, he hasn't done anything suspicious. And the dagger does look like it was picked up."

"But I still don't think he is a good person!" Yu Haitang said dissatisfiedly.

"Haitang, we can't easily doubt others because of our own prejudices. We need to speak with facts instead of judging a person's goodness or badness based on feelings."

Although Yu Haitang was still somewhat dissatisfied, she had no choice but to accept the fact since her sister had spoken.

She took a sip of tea and said, "So what should we do next?"

Yu Li thought for a moment, then said, "We can continue to investigate other aspects of Chen Fei. For example, his work, living habits, social circles, etc. Only in this way can we have a more comprehensive understanding of his true situation."

"Okay, let's continue investigating!"

However, at this moment, a sudden news broke their plan.

It turned out that a serious fight broke out in the restaurant where Chen Fei worked, and Chen Fei became the protagonist!

This news shocked and disturbed both Yu Li and Yu Haitang.

Decided to go to the restaurant immediately to find out the truth of the matter.
