The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Chapter 525 Unexpected Income

The three Zhou brothers returned to their hiding place again, which was a small courtyard not far from the Siheyuan.

Liu Minghui had nothing to do, so he followed along.

Looking at the dilapidated yard in front of him, Liu Minghui muttered, "What a surprise! It seems that I saw these three people yesterday to scout the place."

Liu Minghui finally remembered that several people in the courtyard had met yesterday. It was on the way to Yu's house at noon, and they saw each other when they passed by an alley near the courtyard.

At that time, Liu Minghui didn't pay much attention to them, thinking they were just passers-by. He didn't expect them to be a group of bandits.

After all, according to what he heard, the deaf old lady was almost emptied out by them this time.

Liu Minghui suddenly had an idea and found a place to rest. It happened to be a few hundred meters away, so he didn't need to go over there. He could use his spiritual sense to explore and eavesdrop on the conversation of the other parties.

At this time, inside the dilapidated yard.

Zhou Lao Er walked in hurriedly and said to Zhou Lao Da.

"Brother, something seems wrong."

Zhou Laoer was guarding the door just now, and he seemed to see the police going door to door asking questions. He thought they were here to arrest them, so he hurried to ask Zhou Lao Da for advice.

Boss Zhou was not panicked. He said to the two men, "Don't worry. Let's take the four small ones with us. Each of you can take one, hide it, and go separately."

"What about the rest?"

The young Zhou Laosan pointed at the bag on the ground unwillingly and said.

"This is easy. There is a cellar inside. We can hide in it first and come back to get it after the storm has passed."

The two men were very convinced of their eldest brother and started working without saying a word.

Next, Liu Minghui silently watched the three people digging in the cellar. After they buried everything, Liu Minghui smiled and directly collected all the yellow croakers into the space through the air.

"Hehe, it's useless to refuse. Anyway, it's their business how to explain it later."

Seeing that several people were about to run away, Liu Minghui did not hesitate and went straight to the police comrade who was investigating. He walked over and said, "Hello, comrade, are you looking for three sneaky people?"

The person Liu Minghui was questioning happened to be Officer Wang, who had been to the courtyard last night. When he heard Liu Minghui mention the three sneaky strangers, he was overjoyed and asked quickly, "Yes, did you see them or something?"

Liu Minghui smiled and nodded, pointing to a yard not far away and said, "It's a yard that has been dilapidated for many years, but I just saw someone walk in, and he was sneaky. Plus, I happened to hear your conversation with someone else, so I remembered this and told you, comrade."

Officer Wang did not doubt it, but said to the young man beside him: "Go and ask the brothers to come over quickly. I'll stay here."

Liu Minghui looked at the other party's arrangements and didn't say anything, because in his consciousness, he had not detected any intention of several people to leave. At this time, the three people from the Zhou family were still waiting inside, probably planning to wait until later when there were no more passers-by, and then run away.

Officer Wang looked at Liu Minghui and began to question him.

"Comrade, thank you for your information. Where do you live?"

Liu Minghui directly told the other party that he lived in Compound No. 95.

Officer Wang was surprised and said, "What a coincidence! Why didn't I see you yesterday?"

Officer Wang has a good memory. He can clearly remember that he did not see Liu Minghui at all when he went to Yard 95 last night.

Liu Minghui also explained this.

"I was not at home yesterday. I went to my wife's parents' home to celebrate the New Year. I was planning to go back now."

Liu Minghui certainly would not say that he followed the three Zhou brothers. Otherwise, if the other party asked why he knew there was something wrong with the three of them, how would he answer? He might as well just say that he just happened to be going back to the courtyard.

After hearing this, Officer Wang nodded in understanding, and did not doubt Liu Minghui in any way. He believed that there was nothing wrong with Liu Minghui. After all, if he asked anyone about this kind of thing, he would know whether it was true or not, and he would not lie.

Besides, everything will be clear once we catch the three people from the Zhou family.

However, when Officer Wang told Liu Minghui about the burglary in the deaf old lady's house, although Liu Minghui had expected it, he still looked surprised and said in amazement: "The old lady is so unlucky. A thief actually broke into her house."

"Officer Wang, whether it is really lost or not, well, you know, the attachments have been making a lot of noise recently."

Liu Minghui pretended to be very curious and asked Officer Wang in a low voice.

Officer Wang did not give a detailed explanation, but just said: "It is not clear yet. After all, it is only the old lady who said it. It is not clear whether it is true or not."

Officer Wang was right. He went to ask Director Shen from the street office in the morning, but for some reason, the other party was a little vague about the matter. He just told him that the deaf old lady had a lot of money at home, but he didn't have a detailed account of how much.

Therefore, Officer Wang could not determine how much property the other party had stolen. He could only find out after catching the man and interrogating him.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui understood that Officer Wang did not really believe that the deaf old lady had so much money, and further confirmation was needed.

At this moment Liu Minghui suddenly came to his senses, thinking that he might have accidentally gotten the three members of the Zhou family into big trouble.

After all, the big heads are now in his space. The three Zhou brothers only have three small yellow croakers on them at this moment, and they have not yet turned into cash. In other words, as for the other party biting them to death, it is hard to say whether they will eat peanuts by then.

That's good now. Because of Liu Minghui, several people survived. The deaf old lady will be speechless then. After all, she doesn't have much money on the surface. Director Shen had made a guarantee before. As for what was spread among the people, it was just a rumor.

Not to mention that the police here were preparing to arrest the three members of the Zhou family, Liu Minghui had no intention of joining in to watch the fun. He said goodbye to Officer Wang and went back to the courtyard first.

As soon as Liu Minghui returned to the yard, he found that people were working in full swing.

Of course, most of them were young men. Some were helping to carry some materials to reinforce the backyard door and the wall. Liu Minghui also saw someone building something on it.

Liu Minghui took a closer look and found that there were pieces of glass stuck on it, and it looked like a broken wine bottle.

"Uncle Yan, what's going on?"

After Liu Minghui looked around, he found Yan Bugui who was directing the project and asked, "It's Chinese New Year, why are you still working on the project?"

Seeing that it was Liu Minghui, Yan Bugui asked in confusion: "Hey, Minghui, why are you back? Didn't you go to your father-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year?"
