Chapter 81 Losing control
Chapter 81 Losing control
The young soldier first arranged for the residents of the middle and back courtyards, including the heads of the households.
After rinsing it clean, I went back home to check on the damage.
It was just a matter of waiting for Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai's wife, Jia Zhangshi, and other heads of the various households in the inner courtyard to arrive.
As she walked into the yard, clutching her stomach...
Watching the police officers carry a heavy wooden crate out of a dilapidated house against the wall in the back courtyard passageway,
They were carrying boxes out in groups of two or three, and they were all a little dumbfounded.
What's going on? Even Jia Zhangshi's crying has stopped.
Just as these family heads were shoving each other, preparing to go home, two young soldiers lost their footing...
While carrying the heavy box, it accidentally tipped over.
The small yellow croakers inside the wooden box tumbled out, and the box tipped over on the ground.
Liu Haizhong, Jia Zhangshi, and the others all stared wide-eyed.
Looking at the golden yellow patch that had fallen to the ground, I felt a sense of disbelief.
But seeing the police officers with guns all around, even though he wanted to help, he didn't dare to make a move.
They could only watch helplessly as nearby soldiers came to help and stuffed it back into the box.
When the heads of each household returned to their homes and saw their dilapidated state, they were heartbroken and could hardly breathe.
In particular, the deaf old lady discovered that the place where she hid her money was empty.
Unable to bear the blow, she fainted on the ground; she had no children.
These are all guarantees for future life. Even if we can't spend them and can only look at them, it's still a kind of comfort. Now we have nothing.
Jia Zhangshi entered her home, which looked like a garbage dump.
He stood there stunned. Looking up, he saw that Old Jia's photo on the wall was gone, and the hole in the wall was empty.
He collapsed to the ground, and with a sudden burst of strength, he began to wail again.
He crawled into the house on all fours, watching as Old Jia's photo fell to the ground.
There was nothing else nearby, and the metal box had vanished. Unable to hold on any longer, he clutched Old Jia's photo and wept to death on the ground.
Director Wang arranged for people to stand guard outside and wait for each household to report their losses.
Several families hadn't come out; when we went in to check, they were all found unconscious.
They quickly arranged for people to go and provide assistance. After tallying up the losses of each family, everyone gasped in shock.
So the robbers only targeted the families in your backyard; they didn't steal any of your belongings or food.
But they didn't leave you a single penny. How much hatred must there be? The front yard is perfectly fine.
Hearing from the children who were rescued, and from Teacher Yan's wife who had also woken up, that they had been knocked unconscious, I felt even more incredulous.
Thinking to myself, if it weren't for the front yard being near the gate...
Neighbors from outside the courtyard came in to watch the spectacle, and it's likely that the front yard will also be affected.
This was a premeditated attempt to plunder money, but they may have run into a tough opponent.
Unexpectedly, there were enemy agents in the courtyard. They resisted fiercely and could only kill the enemy agents before fleeing in panic.
The children and Yan Bugui's wife were knocked unconscious because they had no power to resist.
The gunshots didn't sound like a gunfight taking place inside a house; it seemed like the robbers were firing into the sky.
The deceased's identity was confirmed as an enemy agent hiding in the compound. But what about the gunshot wounds to his head and heart?
Director Wang and the patrolmen were all veterans of the battlefield, so they could still tell the difference by their voices, and they felt that things were suspicious all the more.
The police station also questioned the master and apprentice who prepared the feast and several of the female cooks in detail.
No strangers approached except those they knew.
If these people aren't lying, then the situation becomes even more perplexing.
Perhaps someone colluded with them to commit such a huge crime and even unexpectedly eliminated enemy agents; it's simply unimaginable.
Based on the findings of the investigation, the police station chief and the leaders dispatched by the municipal bureau...
I really can't figure out how the robbers did it.
The bricks that fell from the back wall were clearly a smokescreen; there were no footprints on the outside of the nearby wall. The only option was to report it to higher authorities and request that professionals come and investigate.
It all started with the banquet. The Jia family suffered an undeserved disaster; getting a wife caused such a huge commotion.
Not only did the relatives, friends, colleagues, and neighbors who came to congratulate them suffer misfortune,
The residents' hidden money in the courtyard were completely looted.
The hidden enemy agents were all shot dead, and a large amount of jewelry, a gold radio, and several codebooks were exposed.
What incredible luck! What magic does this newlywed wife possess?
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it has triggered such an incredible event.
The new bride, Qin Huairu, had by this time been washed clean and had taken off her wedding clothes.
Even in her coarse, old clothes, her charm was still undeniable; her tearful, fragile appearance only made her more endearing.
Jia Dongxu leaned forward and whispered words of comfort, feeling so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.
In the hospital, on his hospital bed, Yi Zhonghai stared blankly at the ceiling.
My left arm was put back in a cast, but this time it was more serious than before.
Although the doctors and nurses comforted me, telling me to rest well and that I would recover and be no different from a normal person.
I just can't exert the same strength as before, and I feel like my future is bleak.
His career as a fitter might be over, and he felt a deep sense of despair.
As Yi Zhonghai was being carried into the ambulance, he also heard gunshots coming from inside the courtyard.
He has no idea what's going on in the courtyard, so how did he manage to find such a beautiful wife for his apprentice?
So many things have happened, it seems like everything is out of my control.
If Yi Zhonghai found out that all the money he had hidden in his house had been stolen, would he be so angry that he couldn't wake up?
Monday, another brand new day. Sha Zhu got up early and practiced his boxing in the yard.
After breakfast, my sister and I went to catch the bus.
The bicycle in the storage space is also unusable.
In the past, alternating between two bicycles could also prolong the time before they were damaged.
Now all we can do is watch the bicycle lie quietly in the space, unusable.
Sha Zhu and Yu Shui squeezed onto the slow-moving bus, which headed towards Dongzhimen.
When I arrived at the nearby school, I walked there and ran into the school while watching the rain, but I didn't run into Teacher Yan or any of the other children.
Sha Zhu wanted to banter with Teacher Yan, but the chance was gone. He really wanted to see Teacher Yan right away.
What's the expression on someone's face when they lose something valuable at home? I want to find out more about what happened next. It seems I'll have to go to the kitchen to hear Liu Lan's gossip.
Once inside the steel rolling mill, the workers chatted and laughed on the way, and no one mentioned that Sha Zhu's father had run away.
They completely changed the subject, excitedly gossiping about what happened yesterday at the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.
Upon arriving at the kitchen, the early-arriving cafeteria staff had gathered together, discussing animatedly.
A series of stories that happened yesterday when the factory worker got married.
Seeing Sha Zhu enter, Liu Lan immediately greeted him, "He Yuzhu, come over here quickly!"
I heard you used to live in courtyard number 95 on Nanluoguxiang. Yesterday, a factory worker in your courtyard got married.
Didn't they come over and take your bicycle away? Did you go back for the wedding yesterday?
Sha Zhu pretended to be stupid, "I didn't go back yesterday. I spent the weekend at my master's house practicing my cooking skills, so I didn't go back to attend the wedding. But I did give a monetary gift."
When I got to the factory today, I overheard the workshop workers talking about something about a bunch of women getting diarrhea after getting married. What exactly happened?
