Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 68 The Jia family makes trouble, and the whole courtyard suffers

Soon, the comrades from the Security Bureau told Li Weidong that they had contacted the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Military Affairs, and that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Military Affairs had handed over the matter to the Security Bureau and would fully cooperate with the Security Bureau's investigation.

Li Weidong asked, "What are you going to do? Do you need my cooperation?"

The comrade from the Security Bureau said, "Director Li, we first need to find this notebook. However, none of us have seen it before, so we need you to identify it. We won't need your help with anything else; we can handle it."

Li Weidong nodded and said, "No problem."

Then they returned to the Intermediate Court, which had already finished taking the statement.

Li Weidong and his comrades from the Security Bureau walked up to Director Wang of the street, the director of the police station (headed by the public security), and the head of the security department of the steel rolling mill.

The comrade from the Security Bureau said, "Everyone, we need to see everyone who entered Director Li's house yesterday."

Director Wang and the others looked at each other and began to make arrangements.

Director Wang addressed the crowd in the courtyard, "Anyone who entered Comrade Li Weidong's home last night, please stand up. We need your cooperation."

Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other, and slowly those who had been watching the fun last night and those who had been trying to persuade Jia Zhang stood up.

After they stood up, people from the Security Bureau came forward, took them to a room, and began individual interrogations.

The chief of the police station sent someone back to the police station to bring the person who went to the hospital.

After a while, the three masters, Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu and the little thief Banggeng, Sha Zhu, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng were brought in.

These people also looked tired. Jia Zhang was muttering to herself. When they arrived at the middle courtyard and saw such a big scene, they were stunned.

Only Jia Zhang saw Li Weidong and rushed towards him, cursing loudly.

"Li Weidong, you damned little bastard, how dare you harm our Dongxu? I'll fight you to the death."

The police who brought them here obviously didn't expect her to dare to do this. Didn't they see that everyone around them was armed? Making trouble at this time, is she really going to die?
Squad leader Wang, who was standing behind Li Weidong, suddenly stepped forward, raised the rifle in his hand, and shot Jia Zhang in the foot.

boom!
Everyone was frightened, and then there was the sound of Jia Zhang falling to the ground, followed by the sound of Jia Zhang holding her feet and wailing on the ground.

Before everyone could react to the shooting, the guards behind Li Weidong had already rushed over. One guard pressed Jia Zhang's head to the ground, and the two guards behind him pointed their rifles at Jia Zhang's head and heart.

Then the remaining guards raised their rifles and pointed them at the third uncle and his men.

"Hold your head, squat down! Repeat again, hold your head, squat down. You only have three seconds. Hurry!"

The three old men quickly squatted down with their heads in their hands. He Yuzhu was also startled. He pulled the frightened Qin Huairu and quickly squatted down.

Only the younger Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng were frightened by what had just happened and hadn't reacted yet. As a result, they were hit on the forehead with two rifle butts and pinned to the ground, with a gun stuck behind their heads. They were so frightened that they pissed themselves on the spot, but they didn't dare move, fearing that the guards behind them would misunderstand and shoot them again.

At this time, Squad Leader Wang said to the guards, "Search them."

The guards began to search the Third Uncle and the others. Since Qin Huairu was a woman, the guards did not search her, but she preferred to be searched. After the search, they found no problems, so the guards put down their guns. Although she still had to squat with her head in her hands, she was not as scared as when a gun was pointed at her. She was not searched, but the muzzles of two guns were pointed at her.

Jia Zhangshi was not treated the same way as Qin Huairu. She was pinned to the ground with two guns pointed at her. A guard also came and searched her, taking out everything she had.

Money, notebook, painkillers, candy, and finally a delicate little axe from his waist.

After the guard took out the axe, he subconsciously glanced at the police officer who brought them here. When the police officer saw the axe, his face turned pale.

The police station chief's face darkened and he glanced at the police officers present. The police officers present saw the chief's face and subconsciously shrank their necks. When they saw the chief's eyes sweeping over them, they didn't dare to meet his gaze.

When Li Weidong saw the small axe, he recognized it. He used it when he was helping Xu Huizhen chop wood last time. He felt that her axe was not easy to use, so he made one with special steel in the laboratory. He forgot to give it to her when he brought it back, and it has been thrown away at home. It might be that Jia Zhang used this axe to demolish his house.

At this time, Squad Leader Wang turned to Director Wang, the police station chief, the head of the steel mill security department, and the comrades from the Security Bureau and explained, "We have a mission to perform. Please forgive us."

After saying that, Squad Leader Wang retreated back to Li Weidong's side. The last time Fan Jinyou led the street security team and pointed a gun at Li Weidong, he was scolded and given a death order: no one or anything that could harm Li Weidong was allowed to get close to him.

So, Squad Leader Wang didn't directly execute Jia Zhang, which was to give them face. If Squad Leader Wang had executed Jia Zhang, at most he would have written a report and there was a high probability that he would have been awarded a meritorious service. However, Director Wang and the police station chief would not be able to do so. They would most likely be criticized, after all, the incident happened within their jurisdiction.

Director Wang and the director also understood Squad Leader Wang's intention and nodded to him with a smile.

Li Weidong walked over, picked up the notebook, flipped through it a few times, and confirmed that it was his notebook, but there were two pages missing where the money was kept.

Then he handed the notebook to the comrade from the Security Bureau and said, "Comrade, this is it, but it's missing two pages."

The comrade from the Security Bureau took the notebook, turned to the missing part and took a look. Indeed, two pages were missing.

At this time, Director Wang was about to go and take a look, but was pulled back by Li Weidong, who shook his head at her.

Director Wang understood instantly that the comrades from the Security Bureau were watching because they were investigating a case, but she couldn't watch it. Not only would she have to sign a confidentiality agreement, but if it was leaked, she would also be suspected.

Director Wang smiled gratefully at Li Weidong.

After examining the notebook, the comrade from the Security Bureau walked over to Jia Zhangshi, squatted down, and said to her, "Where are the two pages in this notebook?"

The guard released the hand that was pressing on Jia Zhang's head, allowing her to raise her head and speak.

Jia Zhang was also scared. She ignored the pain in her feet and said to the comrades from the Security Bureau, "Don't kill me. I said, just now at the police station, my grandson Banggeng was crying and wanted to go home, so I folded him an airplane to play with. Wuuwu! Don't kill me!"

The comrade from the Security Bureau stood up, glanced around, and saw the little stick figure squatting next to Qin Huairu. There was indeed a paper airplane sticking out of his pocket.

He walked to Bang Geng's side and said to him, "Little boy, let me see your paper airplane."

At this time, Xiaobanggeng was also scared and threw himself into Qin Huairu's arms, and Qin Huairu hugged him.

Qin Huairu held the stick and said to the comrade from the Security Bureau, "Comrade, I'll get it for you, I'll get it for you. Children are ignorant and don't know what our stick is. Woo woo."

Sobbing, Qin Huairu took the paper airplane out of Banggeng's pocket and gave it to the comrade from the Security Bureau. She took the paper airplane and tore it apart, revealing two sheets of notebook paper. She compared the paper to the tear in the notebook, and found they fit perfectly.

Then he handed it to Li Weidong and asked him to check the contents. Li Weidong took it and saw that it was indeed from the notebook. He nodded to the comrades from the Security Bureau.

"Yes, this is it." Then he handed the notebook to the comrade from the Security Bureau.

Taking the notebook, the comrade from the Security Bureau said, "Director Li, there's nothing for you to do here. If you're busy, you can leave now."

"Thank you for your help. I do have something to do over there, so I'll leave first." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"It's okay, this is our duty." said the comrade from the Security Bureau.

Li Weidong nodded, said hello to Director Wang and the others, and left with the guards.

Xu Damao saw Li Weidong leave and whispered to his father, "Dad, Li Weidong is gone. Is this the end?"

Father Xu whispered, "Wait, it's still early."

The head of the Security Bureau spoke a few words to Director Wang and the others. With a wave of his hand, several people from the Security Bureau came over, carried Jia Zhang and walked out the door.

Jia Zhang was howling like a ghost.

"Ah! Don't kill me! Lao Jia!"

A security officer pulled a piece of cloth out of his pocket and stuffed it into Jia Zhang's mouth. Suddenly, there was silence.

At this time, the head of the Security Bureau said, "Anyone who entered Comrade Li Weidong's home last night, please stand up. Don't be afraid, we are just asking some questions."

After he finished speaking, Director Wang also said to everyone: "Everyone should cooperate with our comrades. Don't worry, we will not wrongly accuse anyone. Believe in the Party!"

Everyone in the courtyard had just taken a statement, and thought they would have to do it again, so they stood up without hesitation.

The three uncles and the others hesitated. "Should I stand up? Or not?" Even after Li Weidong's guards had left, they didn't dare move, remaining crouched. Oh, and two were still lying prone.

The man from the Security Bureau also noticed their hesitation and said to them, "Including you."

After hearing this, the three uncles also stood up. Sha Zhu, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi also stood up. Only Qin Huairu was left holding the stick.

The comrade from the Security Bureau asked, "Comrade, didn't you go?"

Qin Huairu quickly replied, "Leader, I really didn't go. I fell asleep yesterday. When I heard the noise, I woke up and saw Zhuzi and the others carrying my husband to the hospital. I followed them to the hospital, and then went to the police station."

"Oh, I see! Then you are the daughter-in-law of that old lady, and it's your husband who is in the hospital, right?"

"Yes, leader."

"Then you can come too."

"Ah! Okay." Qin Huairu quickly stood up.

"Comrades who have stood up, come this way and follow our comrades to the backyard. We will start the inspection from the backyard. Don't worry, we are not raiding the house, we are just checking. The comrades from the street and the public security will record it. Anything we damage will be compensated at the original price."

Director Wang also said: "Everyone should cooperate and trust our comrades. This is for everyone's good."

Everyone who stood up was stunned. Why did they search the house? What was the notebook that Jia Zhang had?

There was nothing they could do. They couldn't just throw a tantrum like Jia Zhang, could they? They glanced at the security officers around them, then at Jia Zhang's bloodstains on the ground. They silently followed the security officers to the backyard, followed by the police and street staff.

Xu Damao secretly gave his father a thumbs-up and whispered, "Dad, you are really a prophet!"

Father Xu smiled smugly, enjoying Xu Damao's flattery, and said to Xu Damao: "Just wait and see, these people will have to be taken away."

???

Xu Damao was puzzled. Wasn't it a house search? After the house search, they still had to take him away? Was it really that tragic?

"Why? Dad. Didn't we already search the house? Why are you taking him away?"

"Can you guarantee that you can tell the origins of everything in our family?" Father Xu asked.

"Fuck, so strict?" Xu Damao exclaimed in a low voice.

"Hmph, what are you doing? I guess there are a lot of fools in there who don't dare to buy food from the black market." Father Xu said.

"So what did they do in the end?" Xu Damao asked.

"What can we do? Take him away and let him come out when he explains everything clearly." Father Xu said.

"and then?"

"What then? That's it at the hospital, and then there's the workplace. How is this person doing in the factory? Who does he usually come into contact with? Do these people have any problems? And then there's the places he frequently goes to. I'll find out everything for you." Father Xu said.

"Fuck, they're even checking on friends?"

"What do you think? Do you think I took you to give away money just because we have too much money? You little bastard, if you cause trouble to me again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you." Father Xu felt so distressed that he couldn't breathe when he thought of himself as a money-giving boy all night, and cursed Xu Damao in a low voice.

"Dad, don't worry, I won't dare to do it again. Those guys' friends are really unlucky."

"Their punishment is relatively light, after all, we know each other. Those in the black market are the unlucky ones. Selling them some food also risks jail time. Those who sell less will be fined, but those who sell more will go to jail."
