Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Nanluoguxiang, police station.

The lights in the police station at night were bright, and behind each public security comrade was a pillar of the Red Star Courtyard. The office area was even more noisy.

Ye Wenwu and Zhang Xingbang were sitting in an office with hot tea in front of them.

As the interrogation went on, more and more information was sent to the table opposite Ye Wenwu and Zhang Xingbang.

Jinsuo frowned. He had always thought that what happened tonight was a special case, but there were also some timid people among these people who blurted out everything, even the time when he peeked at other people's wives taking a bath when he was a child.

This kind of illegal fund-raising method has been used two or three times in the entire Hongxing Siheyuan, and the two people in front of him were threatened by them once and handed over 30 yuan.

Jin Suo was a little confused. Why did he pay the money when he was threatened? Why didn't he call the police? Then he seemed to think of something and looked at Ye Wenwu deeply. He admired the child in front of him.

The information also stated that his parents had only passed away for less than half a month, yet he was able to be so scheming. Now he is just a propaganda officer at the Red Star Steel Mill. If he were transferred to the police station, this kid would be so smart.

After thinking about it, Jin Suo shook his head.

"Comrade Ye Wenwu, we have already investigated what happened in your compound today. I regret to tell you that we need to release many people in your compound. After all, some things have little to do with them, and they are also victims of some things, so."

"Jin Suo, I trust the public security comrades."

Ye Wenwu certainly knew that most people in the compound were forced, but they just didn't dare to resist. In the final analysis, they just didn't understand the law.

Ye Wenwu didn't care about these things. Anyway, the deaf old lady was the mastermind tonight, and the money in the end went into the hands of the deaf old lady.

On the TV in the dormitory, some people said that the deaf old lady was a martyr's relative, and some said that the deaf old lady was a five-guarantee household, because some people speculated that the deaf old lady's identity was a fake identity created by Yi Donghai and others, but these could not offset his evidence of guilt.

When Ye Wenwu and Zhang Qingfang came out, people from the Red Star Courtyard also came out one after another.

Everyone looked at Ye Wenwu's changed eyes. They didn't expect that Ye Wenwu would actually dare to call the police, and even call the police in advance.

Moreover, the police also gave them some scientific knowledge tonight and found out that what they did were all illegal. If they hadn't said that their affairs were handled by Old Lady Long and several senior managers, they might not have been released so easily.

Especially in the previous few meetings of the whole institute, every household donated some money to the Jia family unwillingly. The reason at that time was that the Jia family pretended to have a heart disease and had to take 4 yuan of painkillers every month. At that time, Jia Dongxu joined the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Although everyone admired Ye Wenwu's courage, no one dared to come up and say hello.

Ye Wenwu looked at everyone. The three managers, the deaf old lady and the Jia family were all kept.

"Cousin, I wonder if they dare to threaten you like this next time. But you have offended them badly this time. I think you should move out of this yard as soon as possible, even though this yard is closer to the factory."

Zhang Xingbang looked at the neighbors who were obviously scared of them, and said to Ye Wenwu.

"Well, cousin, I guess we can rest easy for a while."

Ye Wenwu did not tell Zhang Xingbang what was in his heart.

If the identities of the deaf old lady and her friends were real, then this matter would not be enough to punish her, and she could be released without causing much loss.

. . . . .

The next morning, Ye Wenwu and his cousin went to the washbasin in the middle courtyard to wash up. When everyone saw Ye Wenwu, they all hurriedly left the washbasin.

"These people are really rare. There are not many people in our village."

Cousin Zhang Xingbang said this with disdain.

Ye Wenwu did not say anything. When he was brushing his teeth, he found that the door of the Jia family was open and there were occasional sounds of people talking inside. It seemed that the Jia family had been released. Then what about the several housekeepers and the deaf old lady?

But he was too lazy to worry about these things, and he would just go to work instead.

When the two of them arrived at the gate of the Red Star Steel Plant, they were stopped by the eldest brother Liu Hua.

Liu Hua looked admiring and gave Ye Wenwu a thumbs up.

"Wenwu, I didn't expect you to be so capable. The leaders of the entire Red Star Steel Rolling Mill know about what you did last night."

Ye Wenwu and Zhang Xingbang were both confused when they heard this.

Liu Hua also saw that Ye Wenwu and the others didn't know what was going on, so he immediately explained:

"After all, Hongxing Courtyard is the property of the Hongxing Steel Mill, and most of the people inside are its workers. The police station needs to handle the case, and they also need to make arrangements with the factory. If the factory is unwilling to cooperate, the security department can take over the matter."

Ye Wenwu had never known that there was such an operation. He always thought that the police station could make a decision directly.

"Brother Hua, should we let the police station handle the matter at the factory, or should we handle it ourselves?"

"How can such a matter be handled by outsiders? Of course, it was handed over to the factory for handling. The leader of the factory seemed to have said something to the director of the opposite institute. This matter was not publicized loudly. Only the leaders of the factory knew about it. And although what you did was right in this matter, you should have..."

Liu Hua felt a little disappointed with his friend.

Ye Wenwu was also speechless. If he had known that the people in the security department could handle such matters, he would have told his elder brother Liu Hua about it long ago.

I have such a good relationship with my elder brother Liu Hua, it would be a waste to use it.

Cousin Zhang Xingbang stood nearby with a confused look on his face. He had no idea what was going on here.

"Alright, alright, you look so ugly. Although this matter has been handed over to the factory, there will still be some punishment. Otherwise, the factory will lose face. But I believe the factory director will talk to you. After all, you are the key person here."

Liu Hua was gloating on the side.

"Also, don't be fooled by Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong in your factory. They all look like honest and kind people. They have strong connections behind them, especially the deaf old lady in your yard."

After hearing this, Ye Wenwu rolled his eyes and complained.

"Brother Hua, how do you know everything? I should have told you all this earlier. I was still acting with them, but it turns out I was the one being the monkey."

Liu Hua spread his hands.

"Okay, stop worrying about it. Go to work. Come to the security guard at noon. I have something to talk to you about alone."

Ye Wenwu went to work helplessly, but he was thinking in his heart whether Liu Hua had something to talk to him alone.
