The people in the courtyard didn't know what Xu Damao was thinking. They didn't say anything when they saw him going back to the backyard. Today was his big day after all.
After some inquiries by several police comrades, no clues were found for the time being. After they left, Jia Zhang felt that no one was a suspect.
At this time, the people in the courtyard who knew Jia Zhang's temper did not refute even if they heard some unpleasant words. No one wanted to get into trouble at this time.
After Yi Zhonghai finally persuaded Jia and Zhang, everyone left and went back to their houses.
"Jiaguo, don't you think it looks like an acquaintance committed the crime?" Nan Yi, who was smoking in the front yard, asked softly. Lin Jiaguo nodded slightly. He listened to the police comrade's inquiry just now. Jia Zhang
The place where the money was hidden was not messy, but the money was lost. It can be seen that the person who stole the money knew where Jia and Zhang's money was kept.
There are quite a few people with similar ideas. They are not stupid. The thief knows where the money is as soon as he enters the house?
In the middle courtyard and in the room, Mrs. Jia Zhang was still cursing. If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai who was holding her down, she would have started to curse again.
"How many people know where you put the money?" Yi Zhonghai took a puff of cigarette and asked. Naturally, he also thought of this question, because the place where he put the money was not robbed by the thief. Among them, the explanation can be said.
It's grown up.
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this question, she frowned and thought about who knew where she kept her money.
Yi Zhonghai knew it, but it was impossible for him to steal it, Jia Zhang was sure of this.
Qin Huairu also knew, but she would not use this method to get her money, otherwise she would not have mentioned borrowing money today.
Apart from these two, she really couldn't think of anyone who knew where she kept her money. Ever since she lived in Yi Zhonghai's house, no one in the yard had sat down and chatted with her in this house, even if someone had something to do.
After entering the house, she never came out with money in front of others.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai with suspicion. Even if she was sure that Yi Zhonghai would not steal her money, at this time, she had to doubt.
Not only do they doubt Yi Zhonghai, they also doubt Qin Huairu!
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Yi Zhonghai almost vomited blood and his face turned dark when he saw Jia Zhang's scrutinizing eyes and knew what was going on after just a moment's thought.
Can he still steal Jia Zhang's money?
"Only you and Qin Huairu know where I put the money." Jia Zhang said coldly, and got up to find Qin Huairu. She had doubts in her heart. If she didn't ask, she wouldn't
willingly.
"Sit down!" When Yi Zhonghai saw her standing up, he knew what she was thinking. His face suddenly became darker and he said angrily: "I won't steal your money, and neither will Qin Huairu. Don't mess around.
It’s a joke.”
Mrs. Jia Zhang did not sit down obediently, but stiffened her neck and said: "Who else would know? Your money is still there, but mine is gone. Do you think that thief can be so good?"
The pent-up anger suddenly came out, and the voice became louder and louder. Yi Zhonghai felt a toothache. If he thought about it for a moment, he couldn't blame Jia Zhang for being so suspicious.
"Are you sure other people don't know?" Yi Zhonghai asked again. He remembered the last time Jia Zhang's money was lost and it was nothing. It didn't seem strange if it happened again.
"Who else would know, except you two, when I give money to BangGeng..."
At this point, Mrs. Jia Zhang was suddenly stunned. It seemed that besides Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, her grandson Banggen also knew where he put his money.
Some time ago, Banggeng asked her for money to buy snacks from time to time, but she took the money in front of Banggeng.
"No, it can't be him!" Jia Zhang immediately shook her head, but the change in her expression showed that she was not at all calm inside.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai's expression became solemn. Looking at the change in Jia Zhang's expression, he said, "Are you sure you still have the money from yesterday?"
Do you doubt Bangge? Yi Zhonghai has some doubts in his mind. That boy Bangge has the courage. Yi Zhonghai knows this very well.
Although Bangge has never committed another crime since that incident, Yi Zhonghai still can't help but suspect that the term "criminal record" can always penetrate people's psychology.
"The money is still there this morning!" Jia Zhang said. Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you sure?"
Inexplicably, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to doubt Bangge, but he couldn't help but doubt it.
"Of course I'm sure, I counted them this morning." Jia Zhang's words made Yi Zhonghai really feel at ease, and then he said: "Then it can't be Bangge, he has been here from morning to night today.
Staying in the backyard.”
Mrs. Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she didn't want to believe that it was Bangge who did it.
"Think again, who else has seen the place where you put the money? Think carefully!" Yi Zhonghai said and stood up, saying: "I'll ask the children who were playing in the yard today to see if they saw it.
See a stranger?"
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the house and went directly to Qin Huairu's house.
What he said just now was just an excuse. In fact, he wanted to make sure whether these incidents were related, otherwise he would never be able to truly rest assured.
He knew that Mrs. Jia and Zhang would hide their money in a place that would avoid other people, and there were only a few places that she could not avoid subconsciously.
In the room, Qin Huairu, who was looking sad, saw the uncle Yi Zhonghai arriving and invited him to come in and sit down. The door was not closed, but to avoid suspicion.
Qin Huairu felt distressed that Jia Zhang's money was stolen. In her expectation, Jia Zhang's money would be taken out by her at the right time.
But now that the money is gone, who knows what kind of trouble will happen.
"Where's Banggeng? I want to ask him something?" Yi Zhonghai said softly. Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment. When she realized it, her face changed and became unsightly. She subconsciously said in a conflicting tone: "Master
, He won’t do this. When the police comrades asked him just now, weren’t they already sure that he had been in the backyard all day?”
"I know." Yi Zhonghai nodded and smiled bitterly, and said, "But the key is how many people know where Jia and Zhang store their money?"
"Banggeng knows about it. I'm worried that he unconsciously told this while he was playing outside, and someone with a heart could hear it."
When he said this, Qin Huairu's face looked better, as long as she didn't doubt Bangge.
After thinking about it for a moment, Qin Huairu also felt that what the elder Yi Zhonghai said made sense. She knew that Bangge asked her grandma for pocket money from time to time, and there were some factors in it that she guided.
Children all like to show off, and sometimes their unconscious words would be heard by someone with a heart.
Qin Huairu immediately went to find Banggeng who was sleeping on the bed. Banggeng was lying on the bed and was not asleep at all. When he came over and saw the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, his heart subconsciously skipped a beat.
Even though he had been trained skillfully by his master, he still did something bad after all. At this time, he felt a little panicked for no reason.
Yi Zhonghai didn't notice Banggen's panic, but waited until he sat down before asking. Qin Huairu also asked Banggen to think carefully about whether he had told anyone about the place where his grandma kept his money.
Banggeng felt a little more at ease. Faced with the two people's questions, he shook his head and said, "I haven't told anyone else."
The two of them confirmed again, and Bangge still gave the same answer. Qin Huairu listened, and asked Xiaodang and others, and asked them too. Although they could not get any benefit from Jia Zhang's side, what if one or two
The child had seen the place where Mr. Jia and Zhang kept their money, so it would not necessarily be possible if they unconsciously told him about it.
However, the result disappointed Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai. If we rule out these possibilities, the only thing left is coincidence!
Yi Zhonghai went back to the house and wanted to ask Jia Zhang whether she thought anyone had seen the place where she put the money.
At night, Bangge couldn't sleep. He really wanted to ask the master at dawn, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
Some people were happy and some were sad. The next day, those who were supposed to go to work went to work. In the courtyard, Wu You took the lead and several police comrades came again.
There have been two theft cases in this hospital, and the amounts were quite large. If no one is caught, the impact will not be too small.
Wu You and others had the same idea as Yi Zhonghai and others last night, that is, after confirming that the thief had not raided the house, they thought of the possibility of an acquaintance committing the crime.
They did not rule out the suspicion of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, but when the two went to work, they first asked Bangge and his children, because they also suspected that these children had unintentionally exposed the place where Jia Zhang kept his money.
Banggeng originally wanted to go to Master Qiaoshou, but Wu You and others stopped him. When the questioning started, even though Wu You and others made their tone and expressions softer, Banggeng's heartbeat still accelerated.
Banggeng's answer was still the same as last night's answer to Yi Zhonghai. However, Wu You and the others were not as relaxed as Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu who had psychologically eliminated Banggong as a suspect. At this time, several people felt that Banggian was a little kid.
nervous.
At first, Wu You and others didn't think anything was wrong. Faced with the police's questioning, not only children would be nervous, but even adults would be nervous subconsciously.
After appeasing Banggou a little, and as more questions were asked, Wu You and others looked at Banggou who was getting more and more nervous, and finally felt that something was wrong.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, a police comrade wanted to use words to threaten him. Wu You stopped him and smiled at Banggeng: "Kid Banggeng, you go and play first."
BangGeng limped after hearing this and turned around to leave. At this time, he wished he could avoid these policemen as soon as possible.
"Captain, I..." This policeman didn't understand. He obviously felt something was wrong, so why not scare him?
"You, you still need to learn more." Wu You smiled slightly and said: "Not to mention that we are still just suspicious. The more important point is that we have confirmed that he stayed in the backyard yesterday, and it is definitely not him.
Hands-on."
"If he is really suspected, there must be an accomplice. I would like to see his reaction."
After saying that, Wu You's eyes flashed and he said to a policeman next to him: "Xiao Zhang, you can change into casual clothes later and stay at the entrance of the alley. I'm not sure whether it's to alert others, but I can't let go of any possibility.
.”
The policeman named Xiao Zhang narrowed his eyes, nodded to express his understanding, and quickly turned around to leave, while Wu You and others continued to question people in the courtyard.
In the room, Bangge was inexplicably panicked. Although his master had taught him how to deal with it, what happened was different from what he expected.
Little did he know that Banggeng was panicking on this side, but Qiaoshou Hou was also panicking on this side.
After he came back from stealing money yesterday, he was in a good mood and went to buy wine and meat. After he came back and had a meal, he fell asleep drunkenly.
When I woke up, it was already dawn. After getting up, I wanted to get some food and drinks. When I took out the money and counted it, I was thinking about how much money I should give to my apprentice. I recalled it in my mind.
Yesterday's action, inexplicably, felt like the easiest one for him in this line of work.
While I feel that there won't be many good things like this, I can't help but think about yesterday's actions.
He pretended to be a rag picker, limped deliberately, and smiled proudly with his skillful hands. He believed that even if the police suspected this, they would not be able to find him.
After thinking about it, he smiled proudly, and before the smile disappeared, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.
"Not good!" Qiao Shou's face changed, and he stood up suddenly. After thinking about it for a while, he took a deep breath.
Damn it, so careless!
Is there any thief who can find money without turning the house upside down? Unless there is an insider!
"You're careless, you're careless!" Qiao Shouhou's expression changed, and he secretly cursed himself for being so careless. When he got the money, he should have messed up the house.
However, he was so careless at the time that he forgot this most basic reaction.
What's more important is that his spy is that kid. If he were an adult, even if the police tried to bluff him, he would probably be able to cover it up.
But Banggeng is still a little young, and although his teachings have helped Banggeng understand some things, children are still children after all, and the police's intimidation is not easy to resist.
The more he thought about it, Qiao Shou became a little panicked. Subconsciously, he wanted to go to the courtyard to see the situation, but he still stopped.
Then, he made two preparations. On the other hand, he was prepared to run away at any time if the stick couldn't stand it and pointed him out.
At the same time, he hopes that Banggeng can cover it up so that he can have time to find a way to make up for it.
Just as his thoughts were racing, in the courtyard, Wu You and others were asking questions while deliberately exaggerating the sentence they would be sentenced to if they found the thief. The purpose was to see if the stick they had suspicions about would be punished.
There will be action.
Banggeng will naturally move. He was already a little panicked when he heard a few policemen talking about the sentence. He immediately couldn't sit still. He now wants Master Qiaohou to give him a reassuring guarantee so that he won't be afraid.
.
When Bangge walked out of the house, he did not leave directly. Instead, he subconsciously glanced at Wu You and the policemen. At this time, Wu You and others naturally noticed Bangge walking out of the house, but they did not make any move and pretended not to notice Bangge.
stem.
After waiting and looking, Banggeng limped forward a few steps. At this time, the heavyness of his steps made his breathing somewhat suppressed.
He was paying attention to several police comrades out of the corner of his eye, fearing that they would stop him.
Hearing no sound and seeing no movement, Banggong felt more at ease and walked towards the front yard.
When he came to the front yard, he did not go out directly, but stayed in the front yard and waited for a while, thinking about some of the things his master had taught him.
After a while, a few policemen from the central courtyard came to stop him. Banggeng felt a little more at ease, and then he walked out of the courtyard.
When he came outside, Banggeng quickened his pace, ignoring the pain in his legs that were not yet healed due to walking too fast, and walked all the way to the master's side.
He didn't notice that policeman Xiao Zhang, who had been arranged by Wu You to change into civilian clothes, narrowed his eyes after seeing the stick, pretended to light a cigarette, lowered his head and followed him from a short distance away.
Bangge did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and Xiao Zhang, who was following behind, became more wary. Bangge did not go to the park to play, and Xiao Zhang became more suspicious.
The two of them walked in tandem, with Xiao Zhang hanging behind, following Bang Gang as he walked all the way around. When he saw Bang Gang finally stopping in front of a dilapidated courtyard door, Xiao Zhang's eyes narrowed and he hid in the corner, observing the man.
side.
He saw Banggeng knocking on the door, and after a while, someone opened the door. When he opened the door skillfully, he saw Banggeng, and his face changed. Instinctively, he looked around.
"There's a problem!" Xiao Zhang hid aside and looked at the reaction of the person who opened the door for Bangge, and he already made a judgment in his mind.
When an acquaintance opens the door and sees an acquaintance, he or she greets them with a smile, but someone like this looks around after seeing the stick figure. When you see this reaction, something is really wrong.
Xiao Zhang made a judgment in his mind and quietly retreated, then ran towards the courtyard.
At this time, Qiao Shou didn't notice the situation. After closing the door, he looked at Bangjie with a cold face and cursed: "How did I teach you? When people panic, they will be confused. When people are confused, flaws will appear and be exposed.
If there is a flaw, something will happen."
Banggeng lowered his head and said nothing. Qiao Shou naturally noticed his panic. He just wanted to ask about the situation and see if there was any way to make up for the loophole and cover up the matter.
When Qiaoshou asked, Banggeng started chatting naturally, as if only in this way would he feel more at ease.
After hearing this, Qiao Shou was a little panicked, cursing in his mind that he shouldn't have been careless. It was obvious that the police were beginning to become suspicious.
"Bangge, you go back first. Remember, you must be steady. Whatever the police ask, you say you don't know."
For a moment, Qiao Shouhou didn't know how he was going to make up for this loophole. He needed time, and during this period of time, the stickman couldn't reveal any flaws, otherwise the two of them would have to end their relationship.
Banggeng is better. Even if he is caught by the police, the most serious consequence is probably to be sent to a juvenile detention center. But he is different. If the police follow the clues and find out all the things he has done in the past, he will probably not be able to get out of jail in this life.
Already.
In order to prevent himself from getting into trouble in the future, Qiao Handhou began to sharpen his skills in battle and taught Bang Gang how to deal with it.
While the two of them were doing intense "teaching" on how to sharpen their guns before battle, in the courtyard, when Xiao Zhang ran out of breath and ran to the courtyard, Wu You and others looked solemn when they saw it.
Several people did not talk in the courtyard. After walking out of the middle courtyard and outside the courtyard, Xiao Zhang softly explained the situation he had discovered and the possibility of judgment.
"Let's go over and have a look!" Wu You immediately made a decision. At this time, it was impossible for him to eliminate the suspicion of Bangge. Even if the result might be an oolong, he could completely eliminate the suspicion of Bangge.
Under the guidance of Xiao Zhang, Wu You and others walked quickly towards that side. When they came here, Wu You asked them to stop.
"Captain, why don't you just go in and ask?" Xiao Zhang was a little impatient and asked softly. Wu You shook his head and said: "It's just suspicion now, we can't be so impulsive."
"First of all, we have to ensure the safety of Bangge's child. No matter whether he has done something bad or not, we must be cautious before we are sure."
After hearing this, several people nodded slightly. They should not be careless about this matter. If something went wrong, it would inevitably lead to big trouble.
"That's the next best thing!" Wu You's eyes flashed and he grinned: "Since we have suspicions, we will catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. I want to see what kind of person lives in this courtyard."
"Captain, what do you want to say?" a policeman asked with his eyes lit up. People who commit petty thieves will be scared when they see the police, and they are not murderers with good psychological quality. When they see the police,
None of them are timid.
Even murderers with good psychological quality will subconsciously avoid the police when they encounter them.
"That's right." Wu You nodded, looked at the yard, and said softly: "If our suspicions are in the right direction, then this kind of person who uses the child as a conspirator and steals the child's grandmother is probably in a panic now.
.”
Several people grinned and asked their children to help with things. Now that the kid Bangge came to their door, it was strange that they didn't panic.
