Chapter 53 4 The Courtyard is Under Surveillance

She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to go back. It was too painful to have to come back again.

"Then I won't go back to my parents' home. You can go to the factory." Lou Xiao'e said to Xu Damao.

The policeman was curious when he heard this, so he asked, "Comrade, what's wrong with you? Why don't you go back home?"

Xu Damao was speechless for a moment. He couldn't tell the police that there were dirty things in his house, as that would be promoting feudal superstition!

At this time, Lou Xiao'e spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"There's something dirty in our yard, and it seems to have haunted me, so I went back to my parents' house to hide..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she was obviously embarrassed.

After hearing this, the police frowned, looked at Lou Xiao'e, then at Xu Damao, and muttered to himself.

Is there really some supernatural event?

However, as a people's policeman, he naturally would not easily believe these supernatural claims.

He decided to report the situation first, as the leader had said that all abnormalities in the hospital should be reported.

"Since you are here, I feel much more at ease. I have decided not to go home." Lou Xiao'e said in a firm tone.

"Comrade, please don't say such things casually!"

The police responded seriously: "What's dirty or not dirty? You can't talk about this kind of thing casually!"

Lou Xiaoe explained anxiously: "Comrade police, I am not lying, it is true! That dirty thing is right next to me and talking to me, but I can't see it!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice rising slightly. "Besides, other people have seen the doors of my house and the deaf old lady's house across the street open and close automatically before! Tell me, if it's not dirt, what else could be the reason?"

After listening to this, the police nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood the situation.

Xu Damao stood aside looking somewhat helpless, muttering to himself: This silly woman can really say anything!

However, seeing that the police did not make things difficult for Lou Xiaoe, Xu Damao left with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to turn back to the courtyard. She happened to run into He Yushui who had just walked out of the middle courtyard.

"Yushui, why did you get up so early today?" Lou Xiao'e greeted her a little awkwardly.

"Well, Sister Gezi, you're here quite early too! Where did you go just now?" He Yushui asked curiously.

"I didn't go anywhere. There were just police outside asking people who went out where they were going. I was originally going back to my parents' home, but now I decided not to go back." Lou Xiao'e answered truthfully.

"Oh? There is such a thing... I thought what happened last night was over." He Yushui said in surprise.

Then, Lou Xiao'e told He Yushui everything that had happened to her, and said that the strange thing would possess her brother and come to find her.

Not only that, Lou Xiao'e even told the police about this matter, which really surprised He Yushui.

"Could you have really encountered something strange?" He Yushui asked with eyes wide open.

"Well, I'm really scared! Anyway, there are policemen in the yard. If that thing dares to come again, I will shout loudly and see what it can do to me!" Lou Xiao'e said with lingering fear.

After saying that, Lou Xiao'e went home in a hurry.

He Yushui picked up the basin, fetched some water, and then brought it to He Yuzhu's room.

After he entered the room and closed the door, he lowered his voice and spoke to He Yuzhu.

"Brother, do you know? Today is really strange. Lou Xiao'e actually said that there is an unclean thing haunting her, and that thing wants to possess you to find her."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but coughing repeatedly.

He never expected that Lou Xiao'e would tell everything to others, even telling such things to others. She is really a simple fool!

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

He Yushui didn't realize the change that her previous words had brought to He Yuzhu. She thought he had a cold.

"Nothing, just make breakfast and go to the factory. I'm afraid this yard is not peaceful."

"Well, I see."

After saying this, He Yushui turned around and walked into the kitchen to start cooking. This action was already common to her.

In the eyes of outsiders, He Yushui is a hardworking and kind-hearted sister.

At this moment, others were also preparing to go to the steel mill to work.

Some families choose to have a big breakfast, while others skip it altogether.

Whenever they stepped out of their homes, they would invariably run into policemen waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

These policemen are responsible for registering the information of everyone going to work in the factory.

Yi Zhonghai handed the gold jewelry to the policeman and said, "This is what your leader wants. Just give it to him today. I'm going to the factory first."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai turned and left.

At the same time, Liu Haizhong and others were walking on the road, enthusiastically discussing what had just happened.

However, Yi Zhonghai silently fell behind the team.

It turned out that he had wasted some time communicating with the police.

Liu Haizhong deliberately waited for Yi Zhonghai for a while, actually wanting to take the opportunity to ask about the specific situation.

"Hey, Lao Yi, don't keep us in suspense! Tell us quickly, we are all curious. Such a big thing happened to the old lady, how come nothing happened to you?"

Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

However, Yi Zhonghai refused without hesitation and answered firmly.

"No, this matter has to be kept secret. I really can't tell you."

After all, Yi Zhonghai himself is still under suspicion. If he reveals something rashly, what will he do if he gets into unnecessary trouble in the future?

So, he decisively chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong became more curious and asked: "Hey, just satisfy our curiosity! What happened? The old lady was in trouble, but you are safe and sound?"

"Well, it really has nothing to do with me. I'm just a person who takes care of the elderly. I'm not a bad person!" Yi Zhonghai said innocently.

"Haha, Lao Yi, if you are really a bad guy, then you are in trouble! The scene last night was really scary!"

Liu Haizhong described what happened last night vividly, as if he had experienced it personally.

“You were not there at the time, and a dozen policemen suddenly broke into the old lady’s room, as if they were looking for something important.

They moved quickly and efficiently and soon found some treasures.

Finally, they took away all the big boxes. I could see them clearly through the gaps in the curtains!"

Liu Haizhong's words made Yi Zhonghai's face turn very ugly, and he secretly complained in his heart.

That's his own thing!

The old lady had clearly promised to give it to him, so how could it be confiscated like this?

This sudden change plunged him into extreme pain.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai felt as if he had lost everything.

Compared to the old lady being captured, these treasures were more important to him.

They represented his years of hard work and dedication, but now they were gone, a blow he could hardly bear.

He couldn't help but start to doubt his life. Why did fate always play tricks on him?

Liu Haizhong did not notice Yi Zhonghai's inner bitterness and helplessness, and continued to say excitedly: "I never thought that the old lady was so rich. There must be so many treasures in those big boxes! Maybe there are gold bars, jewelry and other valuables!"

Yi Zhonghai listened to Liu Haizhong's words silently, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.
