Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"How do you know the murderer is Jia Dongxu?" He Daqing looked at Cheng Hao in shock.

He hasn't revealed the answer yet, Cheng Hao shouldn't know who the murderer is.

Could it be that Cheng Hao saw something last night?

But this is not right. If Cheng Hao found the murderer on the spot, he would definitely take action and would never stand idly by and let He Yuzhu suffer.

"The only family in our courtyard that could do such an immoral thing is the Jia family.

Jia Dongxu came here to beg for food last night but failed, so he must be feeling resentful, and it is normal for him to take revenge.

Moreover, when I called Zhuzi out to eat this morning, I felt that someone in the Jia family’s house was staring at us.

If Jia Dongxu had nothing to hide, he would never do this." Cheng Hao whispered the reason.

People who have been on the battlefield have very keen perceptions and will feel strange when being spied on. This intuition has saved Cheng Hao many times on the battlefield.

He Yuzhu's eyes widened, his face showing doubt, and he asked curiously: "Jia Dongxu has been staring at us this morning? Why didn't I feel it?"

The mystery is solved, and He Yuzhu's attention shifts to Cheng Hao. His focus is always unexpected.

Cheng Hao did not keep the secret and answered frankly: "You were concentrating on finding clues this morning, so of course you didn't feel that someone was watching you in the dark.

If you calm down and observe your surroundings with all your senses, you can discover a lot.

For example, in the morning, the windows of Jia's house were half-open, and the angle of the windows was obviously set for peeping."

The so-called intuition or sixth sense is the conclusion people draw based on experience after collecting information from their surroundings and processing it with their brain. In fact, it is not as mysterious as the legend says.

"Brother Hao, you are so awesome." He Yuzhu seemed to understand but still praised.

"Alas, I have been busy all morning, why didn't I think of it?"

He Yuzhu couldn't help feeling discouraged when he thought about how he had been working so hard for so long but still gained nothing. There was such a huge gap between people.

"Zhu Zi, don't underestimate yourself, you have also rolled around in a pile of dead bodies.

If he hadn't returned to Sijiu City and let his guard down in a safe environment, he would never have fallen into Jia Dongxu's trap so easily.

Now we have identified the murderer, but we have not yet obtained the evidence. What do you think we should do next? "

He Yuzhu has a strong sense of self-esteem, and he can only resolve his emotional knot by taking revenge himself. What Cheng Hao needs to do is to assist him instead of taking action himself.

"Hmm~" He Yuzhu supported his chin and began to think.

He Daqing looked at his son's serious expression and just watched silently without interrupting him. It is a good thing that He Yuzhu can learn to think independently, which is an indispensable part of the growth process.

Only when He Yuzhu matures earlier and is able to shoulder the burden of the family can He Daqing leave with peace of mind.

"Surround the enemy, then what to do?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu couldn't think of a solution, Cheng Hao gave him a reminder.

"I understand."

An idea suddenly came to He Yuzhu's mind and he immediately came up with a solution.

……

"Silly Zhu, what's the matter with calling us here so early in the morning?"

Liu Haizhong yawned, put one hand on his waist, and looked at He Yuzhu with an unhappy expression.

As a fitter at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Liu Haizhong does hard physical work. He finally got a good night's sleep on Sunday, but was called over by He Yuzhu early in the morning. Naturally, he was in a bad mood.

Liu Haizhong came here for Cheng Hao's sake. He was obsessed with power and liked to deal with officials. He fantasized about getting a job every day. Unfortunately, after working in the steel mill for many years, Liu Haizhong couldn't even get the most basic position of workshop leader.

"Liu Haizhong, Comrade He Yuzhu is a soldier in the 702nd Regiment's kitchen squad. How can you slander him as stupid?"

Cheng Hao, who was standing behind He Yuzhu, made a dissatisfied sound.

Liu Haizhong instinctively wanted to refute, but remembering that Cheng Hao was a serious company commander, he quickly laughed and explained: "Sorry, I spoke too quickly, too quickly..."

Cheng Hao and He Yuzhu had only been in the army for a few months, and they had not been in the courtyard for a long time. Many neighbors still had the impression of the two of them in the past, but they did not know that Cheng Hao and He Yuzhu had already transformed and were no longer young men who had not experienced the world.

"After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

Comrade He Yuzhu is a glorious soldier. Please stop slandering him by using nicknames like "Shazhu".

This not only damages his personal reputation, but also tarnishes the reputation of the army."

The ice is three feet thick, and it didn’t freeze overnight. Cheng Hao doesn’t expect that a few words of reminder can change his neighbors’ minds, but he still needs to stop something wrong immediately if he finds it.

Cheng Hao believes that through continuous education, he will be able to change his neighbors' outdated views.

"That's right, Captain Cheng Hao is absolutely right.

Know your mistakes... Know your mistakes and correct them..."

Liu Haizhong wanted to show off his talent, but he forgot the words at the critical moment. Liu Haizhong did not even finish primary school, so his education level was limited, and long speeches were not his strong point.

"Uncle Liu, it's a great virtue to admit your mistakes and correct them," He Yuzhu kindly reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes, there is nothing better than admitting one's mistakes and correcting them..."

Liu Haizhong was stopped by He Yuzhu just as he was about to start his speech. He called the neighbors over to catch the murderer, not to listen to his nagging.

"I'm really sorry to have you all come here so early in the morning. I'd like to apologize to you all first."

He Yuzhu's opening remarks eased the neighbors' discontent and changed their impression of him. It was different after serving in the army. He Yuzhu didn't care about the neighbors' feelings before.

"Stop talking nonsense. I called everyone here because there was a thief in our yard.

My window was smashed by a thief last night."

He Yuzhu looked around and his sight finally stopped on Jia Dongxu. The latter shuddered and quietly shrank into the crowd to hide.

"What?!

There's a thief in our yard?!"

The neighbors present were in an uproar, looking at each other and discussing loudly.

It is no small matter if a thief breaks into the yard. If a thief can get in, the personal and property safety of each household will be threatened, and they will inevitably be emotional because their interests have been damaged.

"Yan Bugui, how did you guard the door? You didn't even know there was a thief in the yard?!"

After a while of commotion, the neighbors all looked at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui was guarding the gate, but he didn't notice a thief coming into the yard. This was undoubtedly a dereliction of duty.

Yan Bugui, looking aggrieved, waved his hands and explained: "I clearly closed the door last night, and it was still intact when I woke up in the morning. The thief definitely didn't come in through the front door."

Yan Bugui hastened to distance himself from the crime, saying that he was just a gatekeeper and he could not stop the thief if he climbed over the wall.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

He Yuzhu motioned for everyone to be quiet, and when the noise died down, he continued, "Our courtyard wall is so high that it's hard for outsiders to climb in. This thief is not an outsider, but a domestic thief."
