The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

The next day was the same as the previous days: getting up to run the water, washing up, and preparing warm water for Aunt Qi and the others to wash up.

Yang Dalin and Grandpa Qi embarked on their work journey again.

When they arrived at the street in front of the train station square, Yang Dalin and Grandpa Qi were chatting idly.

Yang Dalin inadvertently saw a woman wearing a headscarf cover a child's mouth and leave in the crowded queue of people buying tickets.

The child's mother was unaware that she was carrying large bags and preparing to queue for tickets.

Yang Dalin's eyes narrowed. Damn it, he'd run into human traffickers.

Since taking the "power pill," Yang Dalin has noticed that his senses have become much sharper, and he has gained more strength.

Yang Dalin has hated human traffickers in both his past and present lives.

If you see it, you can't pretend you didn't.

He pulled the brakes and, without turning around, said to Grandpa Qi, "Grandpa, I saw a trafficker take a child away. You go and eat first."

After saying that, Yang Dalin immediately chased after them.

Trains run from morning till night at the train station, and the station square is always bustling with people. If you don't keep up, you might disappear from sight in a moment.

Grandpa Qi is usually the kind of honest person who never gets involved in anything. There are all sorts of people at the train station.

But he wasn't intimidated by human traffickers.

"Hey, Dalin, can you come along by yourself? Don't get caught. I'll go with you."

"Grandpa, you're not as fast as me. Why don't you go and inform the police officer on duty?"

The mother who lost her child hasn't realized that she was the one wearing a blue top and carrying a floral bed sheet bundle while queuing to buy tickets.

Go and notify the police, and tell them to chase after me in the direction I went.

"I'm not saying anything more, I need to catch up."

The train station square was still very crowded in the morning, and Yang Dalin was afraid that if he waited any longer, the other person would be out of his sight.

In that short time, he noticed that there was a man next to the woman trafficker.

He first took out a thin black adult cotton-padded jacket from the bag and handed it to the female trafficker. The trafficker wrapped the child up, and the child's outer clothes were changed.

The two pretended to be a couple, and the man took the child and carried him to a secluded place.

Yang Dalin followed behind them at a leisurely pace.

They also observed carefully.

See if there are any accomplices or gangs involved.

Yang Dalin had already secretly prepared the brass knuckles in his pocket.

Damn it, I don't even know if the other side has any weapons.

It's better to be careful.

The two human traffickers ahead were heading further and further astray.

Yang Dalin glanced back every now and then, and managed to dodge several times.

Although Yang Dalin wasn't a professional, he had learned a little bit about surveillance from spy dramas in his previous life.

Follow from a distance, and use your peripheral vision.

Do not look directly at the other person, otherwise some people are naturally perceptive and may notice that they are being followed.

Yang Dalin followed them into a north-south alley.

After walking for a while, the male and female traffickers separated. The male trafficker continued walking forward, while the female trafficker stopped next to a breakfast stall.

I ordered my own breakfast and sat on a small stool to eat it at a leisurely pace.

At the same time, he kept an eye out to see if anyone was following him.

Damn, he's actually pretty smart.

However, the police behind should not rush to catch up, or they will be discovered.

He could only stroll leisurely to the breakfast stall, pretending to want to buy breakfast: "Comrade, I don't have any food coupons. Can I buy some if I pay a higher price?"

The stall owner, seeing that Yang Dalin had no grain coupons, naturally refused to sell to him.

Yang Dalin pretended to be unhappy and continued walking forward.

However, when they got to the front, the person carrying the child disappeared.

Yang Dalin couldn't help but feel anxious. Damn it, if he was delayed even a little, he would lose track of him. This guy is fast on his feet.

However, Yang Dalin could not stop. He continued walking forward and found two small alleys on the left and right sides ahead, running east-west.

There was a middle-aged man smoking at the entrance of the alley on the right, seemingly waiting for someone.

Although it wasn't shown.

Yang Dalin guessed that this person might be the other side's lookout.

It's a bit strange to see a grown man standing here smoking so early in the morning, not even bothering to avoid the wind, and glancing to his left and right every now and then.

Perhaps the human trafficker went to the alleys on either side.

Yang Dalin walked past the smoking man, pretending to be normal.

Yang Dalin keenly noticed that the other person's gaze had been observing him for a moment, but it was only a fleeting glance.

I didn't pay much attention to it.

Then they waited until they were out of the sight of the smoking man.

Yang Dalin quickly circled back through the next alley, preparing to intercept the police officers.

Don't startle anyone.

Yang Dalin took off running back as fast as he could from the next alley.

Fortunately, they stopped Grandpa Qi and his group before they entered the alley.

Grandpa Qi was accompanied by more than ten people, including police officers in uniform and several capable men in plainclothes.

And there was the child's mother, who looked anxious; the group was rushing this way.

Walking alongside Grandpa Qi was a middle-aged policeman.

This is clearly the leader.

"How's Dalinzi? Are you keeping up? This is Deputy Captain Wu from the Railway Police Station."

Yang Dalin didn't try to be clever by omitting the word "deputy," and besides, that wasn't a common practice in military and police units.

The deputy captain is the deputy captain; he didn't call him Captain Wu.

Yang Dalin quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Deputy Captain Wu: "Deputy Captain Wu, let's find a secluded place to talk first. Our group is too obvious; it seems like they're watching us."

The mother who lost her child was crying and still wanted to go up to Yang Dalin to ask him questions.

Yang Dalin spoke first: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I think I've found their hideout."

Don't rush.

There was also a female police officer with her, helping her.

Deputy Captain Wu was very capable, and pointed to a courtyard house next to him.

"Come on, everyone, let's go over here and talk inside."

Comrade Li Jianguo, please inform the street office to find someone familiar with the nearby residents to come over.

Yang Dalin chimed in, "Deputy Captain Wu, it's so early. The neighborhood committee might not be open for work yet. Why don't we borrow a bicycle from one of the comrades in the compound and find someone to show us the way?"

"Comrade Xiao Yang, right? You're quite thoughtful. Don't worry, Xiao Li is fairly familiar with the comrades in this area."

Let's hurry.

"it is good."

Next to the entrance of the alley is a courtyard house. It hadn't been open long in the morning, and a family inside was preparing breakfast for the adults who were going to work.

They don't start work as early as Yang Dalin, so naturally they don't get up very early.

A group of police officers suddenly walked in, which was quite frightening.

Deputy Captain Wu stepped forward to explain that they needed to discuss something in the courtyard, as they were preparing to apprehend the bad guys.

So that they don't need to worry.

The owner of the courtyard house was relieved and said he could cooperate.

Deputy Captain Wu politely declined, but said it would take a little longer for the other person to get to work.

Deputy Captain Wu told them to continue eating inside, while his group explained the situation from inside the main gate, which was now closed.

Yang Dalin quickly recounted the situation he had just observed.

I pointed at the woman holding the child and the man who looked like a sentry.

It was suspected that the child was hidden in a courtyard in one of the alleyways on either side.

However, this main alley runs north-south, and it's unclear whether the two smaller alleys that run east-west have any exits.

Should we send a few plainclothes police officers to the north side of this alley?

Don't let anyone escape from the north.

These child abductors might just move the child out of the city in a little while.

Deputy Captain Wu listened to Yang Dalin's analysis.

I looked up and took a closer look at Yang Dalin. This kid didn't seem to be very old.

He's a thoughtful young man; if he were in the army fighting a war, he would be a candidate for promotion.

I don't know where he learned so much, but he first arranged for four plainclothes policemen to go out and block the exits of several alleys in other directions.

The people from the neighborhood committee arrived shortly after, accompanied by Comrade Li Jianguo.

The two people rode a bicycle and came over very quickly.

The staff from the neighborhood office also showed us a floor plan of the nearby residential buildings they had brought.

Then Yang Dalin pointed to the two alleys.

The neighborhood committee staff introduced the situation of the two alleys.

Sure enough, it was an alley on the left, and the house at the very back was the most suspicious.

Fortunately, this alley is a dead end.

The family at the very back is just the couple; they have no children.

The male protagonist is in his forties, while the woman is only in her early thirties.

The age gap is more than ten years.

Moreover, the couple has relatives from other places visiting every year.

That's a bit suspicious.
