"Yes, I am the manager of this courtyard." When Yan Bugui saw the police asking him a question, he nodded quickly and answered.

"It's like this. Tell the people in your compound now that we will be questioning them later. No one is allowed to leave the compound until we finish the questioning. I will call my colleagues over later." Captain Zheng said to Yan Bugui.

"Okay, I'll go tell them now." Yan Bugui walked to the center of the crowd after hearing this. "Listen, everyone. Because something like this happened in our compound, the public security comrades will question everyone in our compound. No one is allowed to leave the compound until the questioning is over."

After hearing Yan Bugui's words, people in the courtyard started talking about it, but no one said anything. After all, today was the weekend and they didn't have to go to work, and it was snowing so heavily that no one had any travel plans.

"Hello everyone, I am the captain of the public security team in our jurisdiction. You can just call me Captain Zheng. Now please go home. The weather is quite cold. I will arrange for someone to come to your door to question you later. This is the normal procedure. Please don't think too much about it." Captain Zheng walked up to the people in the yard and said.

When the people in the yard heard that it was the captain of the police force, they didn't know what to say. The main reason was that it was quite cold outside. Everyone was busy putting out the fire just now and didn't wear much clothes. It was extremely cold at the moment.

Watching the crowd disperse, Captain Zheng said to Yan Bugui, "Uncle who is in charge now, you should go back first. There is nothing for you to do here. Just wait at home. I will find you if I need anything."

"Okay." Yan Bugui nodded and walked towards home.

Captain Zheng saw that most of the people in the courtyard had left, leaving only a middle-aged man sitting on the ground. He walked up to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Hello, comrade, you should go home first. We don't need you outside. Just wait for the police to question you."

Yi Zhonghai had gradually recovered by now. He looked up at Captain Zheng and asked, "Are they really gone?"

Captain Zheng couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. The house was burned like this. If he could still survive, it would be a miracle. "Comrade, look at this house. I think it's hard to survive. I think you should stay home first. It's too cold outside."

"Dongxu, my apprentice." Yi Zhonghai heard this and walked into the house.

Captain Zheng naturally heard what Yi Zhonghai said. He turned to the street office staff and said, "Comrade, who is Dongxu he is talking about? The victim?"

"He is his apprentice, so he must be the victim."

"Oh, no wonder. You should take a rest too. I'll go arrange the work now." Captain Zheng understood what Yi Zhonghai was doing after hearing his explanation.

Captain Zheng only brought three people with him. He first asked one person to go back to the police station to request support, one person to watch the gate, and he and another person to explore the scene.

Now that this happened, many people in the courtyard couldn't sleep. In the cold weather, they simply cooked breakfast. Soon the whole house was filled with the aroma of breakfast. Captain Zheng and several others smelled the aroma and were hungry. They quickly asked a colleague to buy some buns to fill their stomachs. Although such an incident happened, the dead are gone, and the living still need to eat.

Half an hour later, the police station came to support and began to question the people in the compound, while Captain Zheng led people to investigate the scene and excavate the body. The inquiry did not find anything. After all, this was not the fire that everyone started. Although Jia Zhang's usual behavior was annoying, his crime was not punishable by death.

But when the bodies were excavated, Captain Zheng found that there were not two bodies. According to what people in the compound said, Qin Huairu took the child home, so why were there two bodies at the fire scene? This made Captain Zheng a little confused. Looking at the three figures, they were not tall, so it was certain that there were Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu. So who was the extra body? Could it be the murderer? Captain Zheng felt more and more confused. No matter how he looked at it, it was not a normal fire. The fire started in the middle of the night, there were three bodies, and someone put out the fire after the house was burned down. Could it be that everyone in the compound was working together to deceive people?

As a public security officer, Captain Zheng was suspicious of everything. Even if everyone's confessions were flawless, it did not affect his skeptical attitude.

At this time, a police officer told him the identity of another unknown body. After questioning the woman in the middle courtyard, the police officer asked her if there was anyone else at home. The woman said without hesitation that there was a deaf old lady.

The police officer asked an old lady to call the deaf old lady, but when she opened the door, she found that no one was in the room. "Comrade, the person is gone, but this is impossible."

The police officer rushed in to check the situation and found that there was no one in the room. Thinking of the unidentified body in the yard, he quickly reported the situation to Captain Zheng.

"So the other corpse is that old lady? Comrade, since you are from her family, why would she appear in someone else's home?" Captain Zheng frowned and said to the old lady. At this moment, Captain Zheng was full of suspicion towards the old lady.

"Comrade, I really don't know. She was in her room before I washed up and went to bed. Who knows when I went to her house? Oh, by the way, Jia Zhang came to see the old lady yesterday. I asked the old lady why Jia Zhang came to see her, but she didn't say anything." Auntie was a little nervous at the moment. Although she didn't start the fire, she was afraid that the deaf old lady's transfer of the house to her would be known to others. She would be suspected for no reason and she would not be able to clear herself. You old lady really know how to choose the time to die.

"Then what is your relationship with the old lady?" Captain Zheng rubbed his hands and said.

"My husband before was Uncle Yi Zhonghai who lived across the street. The old lady was a five-guarantee household in the courtyard, and our family was responsible for taking care of her. As a result, the old lady was injured some time ago and had difficulty in living after returning, so I moved here to take care of her." The old lady told everything.

"Does Jia Zhang usually interact with the old lady?" Captain Zheng said to the aunt. He also knew about what the aunt said from other people.

"No, the old lady doesn't even have time to teach her a lesson, so how could she have any social interaction? The only social interaction might be that the old lady would beat Jia Zhang." The aunt shook her head and said.

Captain Zheng nodded when he heard this. It seemed that the old lady was not lying and what she said was similar to what he had learned. "Okay, you can go back now. If there is anything else, we will come to you again."

"Okay, thank you comrade." After saying that, the old lady turned around and went back into the house.
