Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

“………”When the police officer saw this, he asked the neighbors about the situation, but everyone said they didn’t know.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu said loudly, "Whoever provides useful clues will be rewarded with 20 yuan immediately."

As soon as this was said, everyone reported various situations to the police officers.

But the police officer couldn't get any useful information after asking many questions and was about to leave.

At this time, the third aunt came over and whispered to He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, has Banggeng been back these two days? Why don't you ask the police to go to the Jia family and ask?"

He Yuzhu was stunned. Yes! How could I forget about Banggeng?

He Yuzhu immediately grabbed Director Wang and relayed what the three aunts said to him.

When Chief Wang heard this, he thought there was something fishy going on, so he took the police officers straight to Jia's house.

Jia Zhang was feeling uneasy at home. When she heard the footsteps approaching, her heart jumped into her throat. Director Wang and others knocked on the door of Jia's house, and Jia Zhang came out to greet them with forced calmness.

"Comrade police, what's the matter?" Jia Zhang asked in a puzzled manner.

Director Wang said seriously: "Someone reported that Banggeng appeared in the courtyard these two days. Let's find out the situation."

Jia Zhang quickly waved her hands to deny it: "That's not true. Banggeng has been playing outside and hasn't come back."

"Ms. Jia Zhang, He Yuzhu's house was robbed. Someone said that your Bang Geng came back last night and went out again at noon today? Tell me, what did he come back for?"

Director Wang stared at Jia Zhang seriously, waiting for her answer.

Jia Zhang's eyes began to flicker, and she was extremely panicked at the moment, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Comrade police, you must have heard it wrong. Banggeng has been away from home for a long time. He hasn't come back in the past two days."

Director Wang frowned slightly, as he keenly sensed that Jia Zhang was lying.

He looked around the Jia family’s simple house and said slowly: “Jia Zhang, we are here just to investigate the truth.

If Bang Geng really has nothing to do with the theft at He Yuzhu's house, that would be best. But if he is a suspect, and you conceal it now, the consequences will be serious."

Jia Zhang's expression became even uglier. Her lips trembled slightly, but she still insisted, "Comrade police officer, I really didn't lie. Bang Geng really never came back."

Seeing that Jia Zhang was so stubborn, Director Wang decided to take further measures.

He said to the police officers around him, "Investigate the area near Jia's house to see if anyone has seen Banggeng's whereabouts over the past two days."

For several days in a row, police officers began to question neighbors around the courtyard.

At this time, Jia Zhang was extremely anxious and she didn't know how to deal with this situation.

She knew in her heart that Banggeng had indeed come back and had indeed stolen things from He Yuzhu's house.

She didn't want Banggeng to be arrested by the police, after all, Banggeng was her only support. She also didn't want to return the money to He Yuzhu, because it was the guarantee of her future life.

While the police officers were investigating, Jia Zhang was rapidly thinking of countermeasures in her mind.

She decided to deny that Bang Geng had come back, hoping to get away with it. However, she didn't know that her lie had aroused suspicion from more people.

The neighbors in the courtyard began to talk about it.

Some people said: "This Jia Zhang usually pampers Bang Geng. Maybe Bang Geng really did something bad this time and she is covering for him."

Some people also said: "The police are here, it must be Bang Geng who stole the money from He Yuzhu's house..."

Others said, "Jia Zhang must have gained some benefits, otherwise she wouldn't be so stubborn..."

As the investigation deepened, more and more clues pointed to Bang Geng.

A neighbor recalled that he did see a figure that looked very much like Bang Geng appear near the courtyard last night.

Some people also said that they saw a young man hurriedly leaving the courtyard at noon today, and the figure also looked like Bang Geng.

Director Wang put together these clues and became more certain that Banggeng was a major suspect.

He came to the Jia family again and said to Jia Zhang: "Jia Zhang, now there is more and more evidence pointing to Bang Geng. If you still don't cooperate with the investigation, we will take compulsory measures according to the law."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang's legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.

She knew that she couldn't keep it secret this time.

But she still refused to give in and tried to make a final struggle: "Comrade police, even if Bang Geng came back, it doesn't mean that he stole things from He Yuzhu's house."

Director Wang said seriously: "We will conduct further investigation, but if Banggeng is really a suspect, he must be held accountable for his actions."

Just then, a police officer hurried over and whispered something in Chief Wang's ear.

Director Wang's expression became more serious. He looked at Jia Zhang and said, "We found some suspicious footprints in a corner of the courtyard. After comparison, they are very similar to the shoes Banggeng usually wears."

Jia Zhang was completely desperate. She knew she could no longer hide it.

Then he collapsed to the ground and burst into tears: "Police comrade, I was wrong. Banggeng did come back, but he really didn't steal anything."

Director Wang said seriously, "Ms. Jia Zhang, now is not the time to cry. You must cooperate with our investigation, find Bang Geng, and let him explain the situation. Otherwise, you will be guilty of a major crime of harboring someone and will be sentenced."

When Jia Zhang heard that she was going to be sentenced for harboring a criminal, she immediately stopped crying and looked at Director Wang with horror on her face.

She said in a trembling voice: "Comrade police officer, I will take you to find Bang Geng right now. I will make him come back and explain everything clearly."

Jia Zhang rushed out of the house in a panic with the police officers and began to search everywhere for Banggeng.

She first went to an abandoned factory nearby, which used to be where Bangteng and some gangsters played.

However, the factory was empty, with only some dilapidated machines and piles of debris.

Then, Jia Zhang came to a game hall in a small alley.

She pushed open the door and saw smoke and noisy sounds inside, which made her feel dizzy.

She anxiously looked for Bang Geng in the crowd, but didn't see him.

Finally, she suddenly remembered that Bang Geng would go to the dance hall when he had money.

Jia Zhang took the police officers to the dance hall where Banggeng often went.

As soon as they entered the door, the police officers saw Bang Geng dancing on the dance floor.

When he saw Jia Zhang and the police officers coming over, he knew that the matter had been exposed, so he turned around and tried to run away. She was so anxious that she shouted: "Banggeng, don't run! If you run, grandma will go to jail..."

Banggeng refused to listen. He was very resentful of Jia Zhang for betraying him. The more Jia Zhang shouted, the faster he ran.

But the police officers reacted quickly, rushed forward and blocked Banggeng's way.

Bang Geng's face was full of panic. He then took out a dagger from his body and rushed towards the police officers.

Jia Zhang was so frightened that her legs bent, she collapsed to the ground and fainted...
