After the fat man finished counting the goods and sealing them, he said to Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, "Yang Weimin really trusts you guys. He's hiding one-sixth of the goods at your house. Tell me, with all this commotion tonight, how come you two were just eating at home?"
Seeing the two brothers still cursing, the fat man warned them, "You two don't know what this is all about, do you? Let me tell you, this is a serious matter. These ten boxes are enough to keep you two in jail for years, eating cornbread for years!"
Yan Jiekuang was the first to break down: "Fatty, Fatty, for the sake of being neighbors, please help me."
"I'm trying to help you two, but you're not cooperating. Listen, provide important information now, and I'll report it for you. You might get a reduced sentence for meritorious service."
Yan Jiekuang shouted, "I'll talk, I'll talk! My brother and I were scared, so we sneaked away."
They slipped away? Perhaps they sensed something was wrong and got the wrong idea, so they came back to steal these ten boxes?
These two guys were already on the police's radar, so the fat man didn't bother arguing with them. He formed a group to escort them to the police station.
Then, leading the rest of the group, they headed straight for Nanluoguxiang.
At the entrance of the courtyard house, the fat man divided the people into three teams and drew a simple sketch on the ground to assign tasks to everyone:
"Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu live in these two makeshift rooms. The rooms are small and not good for hiding things. The Liu family is greedy by nature, so I think they are very likely hiding things in Banggeng's house. We'll split into three groups in a bit, understand?"
After everyone had taken on their tasks and confirmed there were no mistakes, the fat man waved his hand and shouted, "Let's move out!"
"..."
Qin Huairu is living a good life now.
He now had his own room, so he no longer had to put up with Jia Zhangshi's attitude or listen to her endless nagging.
Her precious son has also become successful, bringing money home for two consecutive months, and quite a lot of it!
Now only Huaihua and Jia Zhangshi live in those two large rooms, and she has even converted the outer room into a living room. They eat together in the living room every day.
The fat man didn't know whether Bang Geng was pretending to be stupid or was genuinely clueless.
Ten boxes of parts. They were just piled up against the wall in his room, out in the open. They were covered with tarpaulins to keep them dry.
The fat man waved his hand speechlessly, and naturally, some team members carried the parts out. This was all thanks to them!
The Jia family has no other merits, except for their sharp ears.
In this courtyard, especially across from Sha Zhu's house, any slight movement would immediately attract their attention.
As soon as Qin Huairu opened the door alertly, a pair of gleaming handcuffs appeared before her eyes.
The fat man, holding handcuffs, forced her back into the house step by step.
Inside the house, as soon as Banggeng saw them enter, his face turned deathly pale. He even turned away halfway, feeling guilty, showing less responsibility than Jia Zhangshi.
"Fatty, what are you doing? Bringing so many people into my house!"
The fat man pointed at Banggeng: "Auntie, your grandson Banggeng has gotten into trouble. Smuggling. Our workers' patrol team is cooperating with Jiaodaokou Police Station to carry out a special operation tonight."
What? You want to grab the stick joke?! Jia Zhangshi slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Bullshit! Fatty, don't think I don't know what you're up to! Don't you even know what time it is? Let me tell you, if you want to imitate Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, well, you're kidding me!"
The fat man didn't bother arguing with her and simply told the person next to him, "Go and cuff the stick."
Qin Huairu stepped forward again to stop them: "Let's see who dares!"
The members of the labor disciplinary team didn't give her any face and shoved her aside, saying, "Get out of the way, who do you think you are!"
Jia Zhangshi picked up a bowl and smashed it at one of the team members, then started yelling at the top of her lungs, "Help! There are robbers! Murder!"
Despite her changing expression, Huaihua insisted on standing with the family and ran over to attack the team member who had pushed Qin Huairu earlier: "What are you doing? Why are you hitting people!"
The fat man crossed his arms and looked at Bang Geng. He didn't speak loudly, but his voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"Howl all you want, the more the merrier! Then we'll cuff the whole yard together with those shiny handcuffs, hey!"
Jia Zhangshi immediately fell silent, a silence even smoother than pressing the mute button.
The fat man pointed at Banggeng and said to the other team members, "See that? He's a coward, hiding behind his grandma, his mom, and his sister, not daring to utter a single word."
After saying that, he turned to Banggeng and said, "Let me tell you, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu should be caught by now. They'll definitely implicate you. Caught red-handed, you won't have a chance to deny it. If you're a man, just come with us."
Banggeng's face was a mix of fear, anger, and grievance... his expressions were incredibly vivid.
It was like the kitchen had been smashed up; soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and all sorts of seasonings were mixed together—the scene was incredibly awful.
Qin Huairu was about to fight with the fat man again, and Jia Zhangshi stood firmly in front of their family's servant. Huaihua wanted to rush out to call for help, but she was firmly stopped by others.
But at this critical moment, our stalk suddenly slipped away and disappeared into the inner room!
Then I heard the sound of a cabinet being moved; the kid was actually trying to run out the window.
The fat man shook his head and said, "See? This is the only son in the family, the old lady's eldest grandson, a mama's boy, who was always pampered and protected since he was a child. They were counting on him to carry on the family line, but when the truth came out, he left his grandma, mom, and sister in a precarious situation and ran away."
The fat man's words were like slaps to Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu's faces, and they had no way to talk back.
Someone had already been arranged to guard the area under the window.
As soon as Banggeng pushed open the door, he saw two members of the workers' picket team looking at him with expressions of amusement.
The kid actually tried to pull back, but the two of them grabbed the stick and pulled him out, then pinned him to the snow and handcuffed his hands behind his back.
Such a commotion had already alerted everyone in the courtyard.
From Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong in the backyard; to Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai in the middle yard; to Yan Bugui and Yu Li in the front yard... everyone who heard the commotion came over.
Sha Zhu, who was closest and the first to arrive, said, "Hey guys, what's going on? Why are you all handcuffed?"
Banggeng didn't dare to bare his teeth at the labor riot team, but he dared to curse Shazhu: "What the hell are you looking at! You've come here to gloat, get out of here!"
His behavior and demeanor are exactly the same as they were eight years ago.
Two labor patrol members pulled him up and warned him, "Behave yourself!"
After saying that, he grabbed him and started to walk out.
As a result, Yi Zhonghai rushed over and blocked their way, saying, "What are you doing? What right do you have to come into this yard to arrest people! Explain yourself, or you won't be taking them away!"
