Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

"What do you mean? Does this mean the person who stole the things is from our courtyard? What's the evidence?"

"What use would we have for that?"

Just then, the people in the courtyard also realized that Sha Zhu had not returned.

"When did he take leave today? I don't know where he went or what he did. He didn't come back or go to work."

Li Chaoyang found this matter indeed strange; why did Sha Zhu disappear at this particular moment, of all times?

Although Li Chaoyang had begun to have some doubts, he decided not to say anything now that he had handed the matter over to the Security Department and would see how they investigated.

Sha Zhu handed the lyrics to Song Chengxiang, unaware that what he gave Song Chengxiang was merely a source of inspiration for Li Chaoyang, a draft, not a formal manuscript.

Although Song Chengxiang didn't quite remember the contents of the notebook that Sha Zhu brought over, he did remember the notebook itself, because it was the first time he had ever seen someone use a notebook to write lyrics.

So this matter remained fresh in Song Chengxiang's memory, and he never expected that this notebook would now be presented to him by someone else.

Song Chengxiang looked at Shazhu with a very strange expression. Shazhu thought it was Li Chaoyang's lyrics that had deeply attracted Song Chengxiang, which was why Song Chengxiang had this expression now.

Song Chengxiang was feeling very complicated. He didn't know what the relationship was between Sha Zhu and Li Chaoyang, since the two of them had brought out the same notebook.

Song Chengxiang certainly couldn't suspect Li Chaoyang, so the only reason he might have suspected was that Li Chaoyang's lyric book had been stolen.

"I'd like to ask, is this your own thing?"

"Is this your first time writing a song? Don't you know this is just a source of inspiration, a draft? Do you have lyrics for your regular submissions?"

Sha Zhu, of course, didn't understand any of this. After hearing Song Chengxiang's words, Sha Zhu panicked a little.

The question Li Chengqian just asked made Shazhu realize that he might have been recognized. Song Chengxiang might still remember the exercise book. Shazhu didn't want to stay here any longer and wanted to find out if there were any other sales channels, so he immediately snatched the lyric book away.

"Why are you asking so many questions? If it works, you pay; if it doesn't, just take it. Why all the nonsense?"

"Looks like we're not going to cooperate today. I'm not selling to you anyway!" (Qian Li's)

Seeing his flustered reaction after the car stopped, Song Chengxiang was even more certain of his own thoughts.

Song Chengxiang was absolutely certain that Sha Zhu had stolen Li Chaoyang's things.

Now that Sha Zhu wants to leave so easily, Song Chengxiang definitely won't let him, so Song Chengxiang simply locked the door.

When Sha Zhu realized something was wrong, he immediately looked at Song Chengxiang and said loudly.

"What are you doing? Are you going to lock me up or something?"

Song Chengxiang never expected that someone would be so bold as to steal other people's things and now dare to openly come out and find buyers.

Moreover, after being discovered, they even planned to run away, and now they are so self-righteous that Song Chengxiang is quite surprised. However, since Song Chengxiang has discovered this matter, he is very disgusted and believes that this kind of culture deserves to be protected.

As a cultured person himself, Song Chengxiang naturally could not tolerate such shameful behavior from Sha Zhu.

“I’ll have the relevant departments come over right now. Didn’t you say this is a song you wrote? Well, I need to have someone come and meet you. You’re not leaving now.”

Sha Zhu felt he was doomed this time, and he was incredibly nervous. As Song Chengxiang left, Sha Zhu tried to run through the crack in the door, but Song Chengxiang locked the door from the inside.

Sha Zhu was dumbfounded this time. He didn't expect Song Chengxiang to have a trick up his sleeve. Sha Zhu hadn't thought much about it before, and he didn't know if Song Chengxiang would see through his plan. Only now did he begin to regret it.

"Let me tell you, you'd better release me right now, you know this is against the rules!"

Sha Zhu is still talking to Song Chengxiang about rules. Song Chengxiang wants to tell Li Xiangyang about this immediately, so he specially sent his colleagues from the record factory to keep an eye on Sha Zhu. Now he is locked in a room and can't go anywhere (abfi).

Song Chengxiang rode his bicycle non-stop all the way from the record store to the city of Beijing.

The atmosphere of the investigation in the courtyard was quite tense. After some investigation, it seemed that everyone had some issues with Li Chaoyang.

However, everyone seemed to be a suspect, which put the security department in a difficult position. The most important point was that Li Chaoyang did not know when the training manual was lost, and the exact time could not be determined.

"Comrades in the Security Department, I think you shouldn't waste your time here. This Li Chaoyang just doesn't like us and is deliberately picking a fight!"

"We did offend Li Chaoyang before, and we've been trying to make amends, but his relentless pursuit has even alarmed you. We are truly sorry to the security department."

Now Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui actually believe that Li Chaoyang fabricated this story to embarrass the people in these courtyards.

Li Chaoyang is a very sensible person. Although the people in these courtyards make him very unhappy, he will never give them any face.

However, it is absolutely impossible for them to lie and fabricate such a lie to bother the security department.

"What proof do you have? Do you think I don't know whether I lost anything or not?"

"I can guarantee with my integrity that my things are indeed missing. You don't need to put on an act with me. What thief would admit to stealing something?"

"I'm telling you very clearly now, if the security department finds out about this, I will absolutely not accept a settlement!"

"I will make those who stole my things pay the price they deserve. Do you really think I've been too lenient with you?!"

Everyone in the courtyard seemed fearless, and judging from their expressions, they didn't appear to have stolen anything. Now, Li Chaoyang was starting to suspect Sha Zhu, who was absent.

Although Li Chaoyang saw that the security personnel had not investigated the true situation or found out who had stolen the items.

Every time he asked, these people said they hadn't taken it. If the investigation continued like this, Li Chaoyang felt there was no hope at all.

In fact, Li Chaoyang had already put those inspirations aside and now has a very complete version of the lyrics.

Whether the lost exercise book can be found or not is not very important, and the significance does not lie in the exercise book itself, but the most important thing is.

We can't let the people in the courtyard think that Li Chaoyang is a fool who dared to touch his things. If we set that precedent...

That would cause a lot of trouble in the future. There would probably be something missing from the house every day. Thinking of this possibility, Li Chaoyang absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.

Since the security department was unable to ascertain the true situation, Li Chaoyang immediately made a suggestion to his colleagues in the security department.

"Hey Zhang, I have complete trust in the efficiency of your security department, but if these people are stubbornly refusing to admit it, shouldn't you take some drastic measures?"

"As a victim, I demand that our security department lock up all these people, at least one person from each household. Only in this way can we force them to tell the truth."

In retrospect, this was indeed an extraordinary measure. There had never been such a precedent in the security department before; no one had ever been detained without proper confirmation.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were aware of this, which is why they were already vehemently opposing it at this point.

"You can't do this. I've already said I didn't steal, I'm innocent, why are you interfering with me?"

“Your security department doesn’t have that authority either. Unless you can prove that I took this, you have no right to detain anyone.”

"This is utterly absurd! We absolutely will not agree to this! We choose to protest!"

"Do you think the security department is your home? You can close it down whenever you want and open it up whenever you want. You think it's so easy? Let's see who dares to mess with us."

The people in the courtyard started to get angry at this point.

Moreover, their attitude was extremely rude, and the scene became awkward and tense.

After Xu Damao returned, he wanted to see if Li Chaoyang had gone to Lou Xiao'e's house today, but he didn't expect to see any results. Instead, he saw this scene.

This made Xu Damao feel very nervous. Although it had nothing to do with him, Xu Damao seemed to feel inexplicably uneasy whenever he saw someone from the security department. It seemed that doing too many bad things would lead to this kind of habit.

........ ......

Upon hearing that everyone would be locked up, and that at least one person from each household would be locked up, Xu Damao, who was the only one in his family, would naturally be locked up as well.

Normally, Xu Damao would definitely be unwilling and would certainly stand up to object, but he still had something to ask Li Chaoyang, so Xu Damao remained silent at this moment.

The security department indeed had no such rules or precedent. Now, after hearing Li Chaoyang's request, the people in the security department were in a bit of a dilemma. Even though they came to stand up for Li Chaoyang, they didn't want to break the rules.

"Li Chaoyang, we are very willing to find the real culprit for you, but we can only do what we can. Without a definite answer, we really have no right to detain anyone!"

"Right now, we mainly suspect the people in the courtyard, but we can't rule out the possibility that someone secretly climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard. We still need to make more guesses."

"But don't worry, we'll analyze the situation carefully when we get back. Once we have any reliable evidence, we'll definitely let you know. Don't be anxious or worried about this matter; we'll definitely report it to our superiors."

"After all, you are now a key protected person in our city. You are the founder of the Red Songs. Even if the higher-ups find out, they will definitely make us do our best to arrest the thief."

Li Chaoyang never expected that these security personnel would actually speak like the people in this courtyard.

Although Li Chaoyang knew that this must be a rule of safety shorts, and even though he had just said it, he understood that it was indeed a bit against the rules, Li Chaoyang just couldn't swallow his pride and was determined to make the impossible possible.

Moreover, Li Chaoyang believed he had the ability; if he didn't even have this much ability, then he would have wasted his time in this city.

Li Chaoyang pulled Xiao Zhang aside and handed him the two hundred yuan that Xu Damao had just given him.

"Rules are rules, but people are flexible!"

“This rule didn’t exist before, so it didn’t matter at all. Now this rule starts with you. You just need to take them back and say you’re questioning them.”

"I didn't ask clearly. I asked according to the rules and regulations, and there shouldn't be a fixed time for asking, right? I don't think anyone would ask about this, would they?"

“If anyone pursues the matter, just say that it was requested by the person involved, and I will stand up for you.”

"This concerns several revolutionary songs that I will be publishing and releasing next. It's a very important matter, so it's not unreasonable for me to ask about it carefully."

Li Chaoyang had already considered all sorts of possibilities for Xiao Zhang, dispelling all of Xiao Zhang's doubts.

Not only will Xiao Zhang get these two red bills, but he can also help Li Chaoyang gain favor with him.

Although Xiao Zhang's family was slightly better off than the people in these courtyard houses, they still wanted to improve their standard of living; compared to Li Chaoyang's life, it was far inferior.

These two red bills could solve a big problem, so Xiao Zhang had no reason to refuse. He picked up the red bills and secretly put them in his sleeve, but his expression changed as soon as he turned around.

“Since you don’t admit it, this matter is of great importance.”

"As you know, Li Chaoyang is a key person we are concerned about in our factory now. He has always been an outstanding person and has created many excellent revolutionary songs in the city."
