This made Old Cai very angry. When had he ever suffered such an injustice? He cursed angrily: "I will not forgive you!"
Yuanyuan: “Lilililil~”
She shook her legs and said, "You bad guys are still here to steal things. I'll let you know how powerful we are. Children are not easy to mess with!"
Old Cai trembled and shouted, "Son, beat them up! Beat them to death!"
Why call her by a code name at this time? Damn it! He didn't care anymore. At this time, Li Zhenzhen pointed suddenly at Jiang Baohong and shouted, "Ah! I know who she is, I know! She is Jiang Baohong, she is that Jiang Baohong!"
Jiang Baohong was shocked. She never thought that she would be recognized. You know, they were all covering their faces. She reached out her hand in panic, wanting to touch her face to see if the disguise was still there. Ah, it was there and it hadn't fallen off.
How did this damn girl recognize her?
Yes, how did she recognize her? She shouldn't know herself!
Before she could react, Li Zhenzhen shouted even louder: "Look at her face, that pair of pants was stolen from my brother!"
Li Zhenzhen remembered it clearly, and when her brother thought about it now, he would scold the woman as a non-human. So much so that Li Zhenzhen, a little girl, remembered Jiang Baohong, the toilet maniac and panty snatcher, clearly.
She didn't know what he looked like, but she remembered his pants and his name.
"Ah, is it her?"
"It's her, it's her!"
Jiang Baohong: "It's not me, it's not me!"
"That's you!"
Even a three-year-old child couldn't be fooled by her behavior.
Old Cai was so angry that he turned around and slapped her, ignoring the fact that he was seeing stars from the fall. He said, "You bitch, I told you to find a scarf, but you insisted on using a pair of shorts. People will recognize you now, right? You are a piece of shit who can't do anything good, but always makes trouble. Why did I end up with a wife like you? You have no ability at all, and you always mess with me."
Jiang Baohong felt wronged. She had never thought that these people could recognize her based on her underwear. Moreover, they knew that she was the one who broke into the men's restroom. Jiang Baohong covered her face and cried.
If she was a young wife, she would be lovable, but at her age, she made several people at the scene feel disgusted.
Xiao Cai: "Mom, you're almost there."
"that is!"
While they were chattering, the children were quickly preparing snowballs. Tuantuan came close to Xiao Qijin's ear and whispered something. Xiao Qijin silently stepped back, then bent over and walked to one side, sticking to the edge of the tile house's rainproof platform. He walked very carefully, holding his own tiles with his hands, and was very, very careful.
Although all the courtyard houses in their area are tiled houses, some of the connecting parts are not. For example, the one in Lan Sihai was originally a connecting section in the middle, which is a bungalow. In addition, the three and a half rooms originally owned by the banker, half of which was a small wing room at a corner. This small wing room was also a bungalow without tiles, otherwise the banker would have had no place to dry the salted fish.
The regular houses are all tiled, with only a few joints not being tiled. This is a common practice in old courtyards and is also to make repairs more convenient.
Tuan Tuan ran to the Lan family early in the morning, not only because he thought that the Lan family had a lot of trouble and could help them, but also because he thought that he could find a place to stay on the roof. Although the children were small, they were very smart. They stood on the roof and shouted at the people below: "Old turtle, you are so wicked, you can't come up, right? You deserve it! Hey, I can't beat you! I'm so angry!"
A few kids were annoying people here and throwing snowballs down there. It didn't hurt much, but it was extremely insulting.
The Cai family of three was furious: "You little bastards, I will chop you into pieces if I catch you! You little bastards."
"You're a thieving old bastard! Do you think we're afraid of you? If you have the guts, come up here? Lulu, you can't come up here!"
"you!"
"What do you mean by 'you'? You look so unlucky, and nothing good will happen to you!"
These kids were talking at the same time and it was really irritating.
Jiang Baohong: "If you kill me, I will definitely kill you and empty your house. I... Shit! Ah!"
Jiang Baohong was shouting and cursing along with the children when an icicle from the edge of the house fell down and hit Jiang Baohong in the face with a bang. Jiang Baohong screamed miserably and his face was covered in blood.
“Fuck!”
"Stay out of the way!"
"Yes! Get out of the way!"
Several people were in a hurry. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan glanced at the corner of their eyes not far away and saw that Xiao Qijin had successfully passed his home and was now at Bai's home. He walked very slowly and carefully. After all, the ground was slippery and awkward. If he hadn't been holding the small rake and holding it all the way, he really wouldn't have dared to do it.
Tuan Tuan quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to attract attention. Yuan Yuan and the other girls' faces were all red from the cold. But they still threw snowballs, which hit the bad guys, making them even more angry.
Yuanyuan even shouted louder: "Our children's counterattack has begun! Bad guys, your death is coming!"
Her yelling really pissed off the "food" gang. Where did this arrogant girl come from?
Yuanyuan attracted the firepower, and Tuantuan took another look. This time he finally calmed down. Qijin had already walked to the edge and slid down! He shouted even louder: "You can't come up, I'm so angry that you can't come up!"
At this time, Xiao Qijin tied the rope to one side, reached out and pulled it, held on, and then slowly slid down the wall. This was also fortunately because they were usually naughty and did all kinds of things like climbing trees and going to rivers, otherwise it would be difficult for them to do these things.
He got down smoothly, quickly found a stick, and then tiptoed to the door. Their door was closed and the lock was broken. He followed Tuantuan's instructions and stuffed the thick wooden stick into the two copper handles.
This is a good block.
Now, it would be difficult to push the door open from the inside unless it was opened from the outside.
He locked the door and then ran away.
He had a big task this time. In addition to locking the door and trapping the people inside, he also had to call the police. He was not worried at all that someone would take it away. Any normal person could see that it was definitely wrong to leave the door like this.
He ran very fast because he wanted to take the police officer back to save people!
He ran away, and at this time Fan Debiao felt something was wrong. He was originally very concerned about the pain, but suddenly he discovered that one of the children seemed to be missing. They had been making a fuss for so long, and it had always been these few, but there was a missing boy.
His face changed, and everyone shouted, "Not good!"
"how!"
At this time, Fan Debiao no longer cared about the internal struggle and quickly shouted: "They are missing a child. Did he run away to call for help?"
"ah!"
At this time, Xiao Cai was the only one who was still okay among the four people. He immediately ran towards the gate, but his face changed when he was pulled.
The door wouldn't open! Xiao Cai turned around trembling and said, "It's over, it won't open!"
His face turned pale in an instant.
We always hear that it is so easy for others to steal and rob things, so why are they so miserable?
He felt as if all the energy in his body had been drained out, and he collapsed to the ground, crying, "My life is so miserable."
"Why the hell are you crying? Hurry up and open the door. We have to leave! Otherwise, we will be caught in a trap."
He thought he had caught a few children in a trap, but he didn't expect these little bastards to be so cunning. They suffered a great loss. He shouted, "Come and help me take out the mousetrap. Otherwise, I can't escape. You guys can forget about it."
"You! How dare you betray us?" Old Cai saw that Fan Debiao was now a toothless tiger, so he rushed up to him and said, "Who are you threatening? You think I'm easy to bully, right? When I was the deputy director, you were still a poor guy. How dare you compete with me?"
He slapped her again with his backhand and instantly felt extremely relieved.
He said angrily: "Behave yourself, otherwise we won't care about you!"
Fan Debiao never thought that he would be beaten by this old man after being bullied by a dog. He clenched the knife in his arms, wishing he could give him a blow. But... he took a deep breath and endured it.
If he didn't rely on the Cai family, he wouldn't be able to escape.
He endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens!
In order to escape, he gritted his teeth and smiled and said, "Uncle, I was wrong. Please help me. With one more person, I can also help you. We have one more person and one more strength. Otherwise, what can we do? If we are caught, we will all end up in trouble. Don’t you agree?"
Old Cai stared at him arrogantly and snorted.
Fan Debiao: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me. I will work like a slave for you!"
Old Cai still wanted to wait a little longer, but at this time, Little Cai knew that what Fan Debiao said was true. One more person meant more strength, so he couldn't delay any longer! He said, "I'll help you!"
He said, "Dad, don't delay, hurry up, we have to find a way to leave quickly. At this time, we have to unite! We must unite!"
Li Zhenzhen: "You bad guys can't escape. The police will arrest you and make you eat peanuts."
"Just shut up!"
Lao Cai roared: "Little bitch, don't let me catch you, I will sell you to a poor mountain valley, you...Ha Qiu!"
It seemed to be even colder at this time. His house fell several times and the sparks from the firecrackers burned small holes on his cotton jacket. He was not as hard hit as Fan Debiao, but it was not a big deal either.
He gathered his clothes together and immediately thought of going into the house to find some clothes.
It was so cold, he couldn't stand it. The smoke in the room had dispersed a little. He looked around and saw no mousetraps. He strode in. As soon as he entered the door, he fell hard. His head hit the door with a bang. There was another bang and he fainted. "Dad!!!"
Xiao Cai yelled, and he moved forward tremblingly. He couldn't help but put his hand near the old man's nose to test, and found that he was still breathing.
That's true. After all, not everyone is as mean as Zheng Yufeng, who can die immediately after falling down the stairs.
Bai struggled a lot and suffered countless injuries back then, but he is still alive and well now.
When it comes to this kind of thing, it really depends on your strength. Generally speaking, it wouldn't be that bad.
He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his father was not dead.
The man was fine, so he didn't care and went to help pull out the mousetrap. This was a filial son to his father.
Not to mention Jiang Baohong who was a little confused, even the children standing on the roof were confused. This guy doesn't care about his own father.
Xiao Cai didn't care what others thought. He knew that he was in a critical moment. If he didn't rescue Fan Debiao, it would be too difficult for him and his mother to escape.
Xiao Cai is now in tears and has no idea what to do. Who made them so unlucky? He really can't understand why he is so unlucky. He has been busy for a whole morning and has not found the fifty yuan. He is still trapped here.
What should I do? What should I do? Fan Debiao: "What's wrong with this mousetrap? Why can't I open it?"
He really couldn't do anything. As time went on, Fan Debiao felt that something was wrong. They were trapped here, and the missing child had obviously gone to call for help. They were doomed.
If they couldn't escape quickly, they would be in big trouble. Now it wasn't a question of whether they could find the money, but that they might be caught. At this time, several people became nervous. Fan Debiao and Xiao Cai looked at each other, and Xiao Cai whispered, "What should we do?"
Fan Debiao is also in a dilemma now, but he is worse off than Xiao Cai, so he has to find a way out.
He rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, saying, "Go up and grab a few kids. We have hostages in our hands, and the people in their compound won't dare to act rashly. We can go around and talk about other things later. If we are held down, it will be bad. There are a lot of troubles in their compound, and they are very familiar with the police station and the neighborhood committee. If we are taken there directly, we will be in trouble."
"You're right." Xiao Cai stood up immediately, but only for a second, he turned back worriedly and whispered, "I can't get up there."
How can we climb without a ladder? Fan Debiao's eyes widened: "They can all go up, but you can't?"
He couldn't believe it. He felt that if it was him, he would definitely be able to get there. What was so difficult about it? After all, he couldn't be worse than a few ten-year-old kids, right? Was this reasonable? He looked at Xiao Cai and once again felt that it was a mistake for him to hang out with them.
Even if he has been in jail, he was able to start from scratch back then, so what difference does he have now? At worst, he can start over again. Even Zheng Huimin can sell houses. How can he, a man, not have such courage? Now he is following Xiao Cai. Damn, he has gained nothing and suffered a lot.
He really regretted it, very much.
But, now that things have come to this, we’ve gotten on board, we can’t just ignore it.
He took a deep breath and said, "Look for a ladder. If there is no ladder, trick them down. They are just kids, isn't it easy to trick them?"
Xiao Cai glanced at Fan Debiao and said, "Okay."
He immediately whispered to his mother to find a ladder, and he came to the eaves to fool the children: "Children, the snow is getting heavier, why don't you come down? If you get frozen, we can't afford to pay for it. Although we are here to steal things, we are only after money, and we don't want to do anything to you."
He put on a wolf grandmother's face and said: "I am a really good person."
Yuanyuan: "You look like a bad person. My grandfather said that a narrow forehead, thin mouth, squinting eyes, hooked nose, and sharp face are the signs of a mean and ungrateful person. You can't trust him at all."
Xiao Cai: “!!!”
Fan Debiao nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense."
Yuanyuan added: "Don't try to trick us into going down. We are young, but we are not stupid."
Li Zhenzhen: "That's right, who can't you see? You just want to trick us into going down, and then you will have hostages."
Bai Qingqing: "You are already like this, you definitely can't run away. You might even jump off the wall in desperation. That's why we won't go down."
Tuan Tuan nodded: "Everyone is right."
Do you really think they are just kids who know nothing?
They have seen the world.
Xiao Cai forced a smile and said, "Look, you misunderstood me, didn't you? How could I be that kind of person? If I were really that kind of person, I would have attacked you just now when you came in. Think about it carefully, didn't I mean to tie you up?"
He also realized that these kids were not easy to fool, so he kept playing the warmth card.
"We really only want money, you think too much."
"Lululu, only a fool would believe you!"
"That's right, only a fool would believe you!"
A snowball was thrown out, and just as Xiao Cai was about to open his mouth, it hit him directly in the mouth. Xiao Cai: “Fuck!”
Finally, he could no longer bear it and said, "You little bastards, don't let me catch you. If I catch you, I will make sure you pay, you damned bastards!"
He yelled, "Mom, did you find the ladder?"
Jiang Baohong held her waist and walked very slowly because she had sprained her waist.
He said, "I'm still looking for it, but I can't find it! Who knows where they keep things in a compound like this?"
She is used to living in a building.
"Go take a look in the cellar. I remember that cellars in large courtyards like this are used to store sundries.
Jiang Baohong finally found the cellar and said, "The cellar is here. I'll go down and take a look."
She went down the very steep stairs, step by step, and when she got to the bottom, uh... she was stunned. This was not the kind of cellar she thought it was. There were actually small rooms under the cellar, and they were all locked!
Jiang Baohong was confused for a moment, but soon she fell into ecstasy. She suddenly figured it out. No wonder she couldn't find the money after searching several houses in the compound. They must have hidden their money.
Where can the money be hidden? Of course it's here!
Otherwise, it’s just a cellar, why should it be locked?
He felt that he had seen the truth of the matter! She shouted excitedly: "Son, Mom found where they hid the money!"
When Xiao Cai heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. Although he looked very embarrassed now, their goal was money. He had already thought about it. If it didn't work, he would just climb over the wall and run away by himself. Anyway, he was not seriously injured.
As for whether I will be held accountable in the future, I’ll just run away first.
And now when I hear the word money, I get even more excited. If I had money, I could run even faster.
He rushed over: "Where is it?"
Fan Debiao: “Not good!”
This old guy wanted to throw it away and run away with the money! At this time, he had already exerted 1.2 million points of strength, stood up in a whoosh, and said, "I'll do it too!"
His feet hurt like hell, but for the sake of money, he could bear it! Xiao Cai was quicker than him and went down first. He saw Fan Debiao jump hard, but he never expected that there were steps inside. Gulu Gulu - bang! He fell headfirst and hit his forehead with blood, but... there was also a good thing. With a snap, the mousetrap on his foot fell down. The mousetrap that he couldn't pry off finally came down.
Jiang Baohong was very excited at this time. She said, "Look, whose cellar would be divided into sections and locked like this? This is obviously wrong. They must be hiding money here."
"You have a point."
At this time, Xiao Cai agreed with his mother's words, and even Fan Debiao, who was bleeding, thought so.
But they don't know that this place is locked because there were three brothers from the Su family who were good at stealing things here in the past?
Of course, they have changed their ways now, but this partition has been there for more than ten years, and it would be a waste to tear it down. So, I really thought too much!
Several people looked at it with a big look in their eyes and said, "Let's smash it."
"become!"
Several people were busy with banging work in the cellar, which made the children on the rooftop stunned.
Confused again.
Why do they think there are good things in the cellar? There are only cabbages and radishes in the cellar.
Who doesn't store vegetables for the winter? Tuantuan said cautiously, "Maybe this is a trap for them to trick us into going down. Don't go down."
Everyone nodded. Yuanyuan moved closer to her brother and said, "It's a bit cold."
Tuantuan rubbed his sister's face and said, "Go over there. There's a tiled house next to it. It can block the wind."
He added, "All of you go over there."
Several people squatted in the corner, looking down, and saw Lao Cai slowly waking up. He rubbed his head in a daze and tried to stand up, but he stepped on the oil again and fell down again.
"Fuck, fuck you little bastards!"
He roared and wanted to curse, but a gust of cold wind blew past, and he suddenly shuddered. There was no one around. He panicked instantly. Did the others abandon him and run away? These conscienceless people are so wicked!
He yelled, "This damned little bastard, he doesn't care about his own father, he has no conscience, they..."
The national curse continues.
Before he could finish his curse, he heard the sound of something being smashed below. He struggled to get up and stumbled over, shouting, "What are you doing?"
"Come here, Lao Cai, they hid the money under here!"
When Lao Cai heard this, he rushed over quickly.
Gulu, get out of here.
round and round: "..."
People die for money, birds die for food!
He has seen it.
But he didn't dare to trust these people at all. His mother said that his own safety was the most important.
The four of them rushed to the cellar. There was a clattering sound coming from the cellar. Yuanyuan poked her head out and looked around. She said, "Brother, should we go down?"
Tuantuan: "No, it's not safe. We should stay here. What if this is a trap? Let's be cautious."
He took a deep breath and said, "Mom and Dad said that if we really encounter bad guys, we must hold on. We must not take risks unless we are 100% safe. Children are not as strong as adults. We must not be complacent and think that we can do anything just because we have practiced martial arts."
At this time, he fully played the role of an older brother and did things in a very organized manner.
He looked up at the sky and saw that the snow had not stopped today.
He said: "I think Qi Jin will be back soon."
What he said was true. At this time, Qi Jin had already led several police officers to run back. When they heard that something happened here, the police comrades immediately dispatched a dozen people. They did not think that the child was talking nonsense.
Xiao Qijin is already a child of about ten years old, it shouldn't be that serious.
They ran all the way over, and when they reached the entrance of the alley, they saw Mingmei riding her bike back. When Qijin saw Mingmei, he shouted, "Aunt! We met some bad guys."
Mingmei's face changed: "What!"
She didn't even ask why and just ran back.
Others were not far behind, and they all ran behind. Everyone was very anxious, and they were most worried that something might happen to the children. Who would have thought that the children would encounter such vicious criminals on their way home from school? At this time, several criminals had already knocked on a warehouse, which was full of radishes and cabbages, but not the legendary money.
Xiao Cai looked around and said firmly, "They must have hidden themselves. These radishes and cabbages are just to cover up their tracks. Think about it carefully. The people here are all well-off. How could they lock up the radishes and cabbages?"
"Yes, you guessed it right, go find it quickly."
"The wall is already built, knock on it and see if there is anything in the cracks. I think there is something." Fan Debiao took the initiative to remind everyone based on his own way of hiding money.
If I don't find the money now, I will get nothing.
"Come, come, come."
"quick."
Several people got busy. Xiao Cai said, "Search separately!"
Jiang Baohong: "I'd better go with you."
This cellar was always dark and they barely adapted to the pitch-black environment, but they felt a little scared.
"That's fine."
Several people were in a state of distress, but they felt that hope was just around the corner. They first took the money and then held the child hostage, and then... hehehe.
This is a good idea, but in reality, it's hard to say.
They didn't know that the public security comrade and Mingmei had already arrived at the entrance of the alley. They were still excitedly looking for money, tapping, and suddenly, Fan Debiao, who was tapping, felt a little loose, and he said excitedly: "I think there is something going on here."
Several people rushed over at the same time, and Jiang Baohong excitedly said, "I knew it!"
She felt like a hero and jumped up happily: "I want this cent from you...Ah!!!"
This guy was feeling very proud, but she felt as if the ground shook, and she fell down almost unexpectedly. She reached out in panic and grabbed Fan De Biao. Fan De Biao: "Oh my god!"
He was not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others. If they were to die, they would die together. He pulled Xiao Cai with his hand.
The nesting doll group fell directly...
Mingmei had already opened the door. When she opened the door, her heart sank and she instantly saw the mess in the yard.
She quickly called out: "Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan!"
When Tuantuan heard this and looked over, he immediately became excited: "Mom is back!"
The three little girls also stood up and shouted excitedly: "Mom!"
"Aunt!"
Yuanyuan was so excited that she was about to jump down. Mingmei was startled and shouted, "Be careful, come down one by one! Where's the ladder? Ladder!"
Tuantuan: "Mom, it's under the snow pile. Where did Dad sweep the snow this morning?"
Mingmei quickly went over and found the ladder. Otherwise, the "Food" group of four was unlucky. In fact, the ladder was right in front of them. Mingmei put up the ladder, and the children came down one by one. Yuanyuan threw herself into her mother's arms, her eyes wide open, not afraid at all, grinning and showing off: "Mom, we were not caught by the bad guys."
At this time, the public security comrades also arrived, and they tried their best to catch up with Mingmei but failed.
Qi Jin rushed over: "I, I, I, I brought people back!"
Several children immediately rushed to each other and hugged each other: "We are saved!"
"No, where are the people?"
"Cell, they just went to the cellar, cellar..." Tuan Tuan hadn't finished his words when he suddenly felt the ground in the yard shaking.
Mingmei: "Be careful."
She immediately protected several children. Several public security comrades didn't know what was going on. They all ran outside in a panic and soon rushed to the street. However, the brief shaking was over quickly and everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Um, is this an earthquake?"
"It should be."
"Everyone stay outside and don't move."
Although I don't know what happened, it looks like an earthquake without a doubt.
The children gathered around Mingmei. Compared to outsiders, they definitely trusted Mingmei more. Mingmei rubbed the children's heads and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything."
The children nodded one after another, saying, "Mom, we are not afraid."
With their mother around, they are not afraid at all.
Because of the earthquake, everyone did not go in to catch the thief immediately, but waited for a few minutes. However, the shaking just now seemed to be only for a moment and disappeared quickly. It was hard to tell whether it was a real earthquake.
"what to do?"
"Let's go and take a look."
Mingmei was a little worried and asked, "What if there's another earthquake after you're there?"
She said, "Why don't we wait a little longer?"
The leading police officer shook his head and said, "It's okay."
He said: "We should go over and take a look. First, we can arrest the people and bring them to justice, so that they can't take advantage of this opportunity to escape. Second, if there is any problem, we can deal with it as soon as possible."
Mingmei didn't really agree, but she saw that the others were very determined and didn't say anything against it. It wasn't her turn to object, so she said, "Then you guys better be careful."
Of the dozen or so police officers, four were left behind, and the rest went to the cellar.
Mingmei and the others looked out, but it was strange that there was no second reaction from the surroundings, as if the earthquake just now was just their illusion. Besides, if it was really an earthquake, there should be some reaction from the surroundings, right? Everyone was a little confused, but Mingmei took care of the children and did not allow them to enter the yard to prevent the earthquake from moving again.
A few police officers were honest. They quickly came to the entrance of the cellar and asked, "Is anyone there?"
No one answered.
"Is there anyone inside? Is anyone injured?"
Still no one answered.
Several police officers looked at each other and went down to the cellar. When they got down, they saw that the locks of the cellar doors were all broken, and one of them was wide open. They quickly went over and looked in: "Fuck."
Even though they were well-informed, they did not expect this scene.
"Hurry up and see if they are hiding in other cellars. If not, they might have fallen in."
Everyone checked quickly and then said, "Really not!"
"Why is there a hole here?"
"It looks like a collapse. Was it not an earthquake just now? Was it just the collapse that caused the noise?"
"I don't know. Report it."
"Is there anyone down there? Is there anyone?"
Still no one answered.
Mingmei and the others soon saw the police coming back. They briefly explained the situation. Mingmei: "..."
The children's eyes widened in shock. "Fell into a hole? There's a hole in our cellar?"
"Ah! How dangerous!"
Mingmei sighed sincerely: "Luckily they fell in. Otherwise, how unlucky it would be if one of us fell in that day? Fortunately, fortunately."
Public Security Comrade: “…”
That being said, don't be so blunt.
"Daughter-in-law! What's wrong?"
After all the hard work this morning, even the performance at the machinery factory was over. Zhao Guihua and her group came out one show earlier, so they didn't catch up with the main group and it wasn't crowded. The plan was very good. They came back, and they were the first group to come back.
But when they saw the police, everyone immediately became nervous.
"What happened?"
"What's going on?"
Before Mingmei could say anything, the children immediately came over and chattered.
Zhao Guihua's eyelids twitched and her head was buzzing. She was sweating coldly. She hugged the children and said, "You two little brats are scaring me to death. Grandma, please check on you. Are you okay?"
She checked up and down quickly, and the two children let their grandmother insist, saying, "We are fine, we are united, and we are not afraid of bad people at all. We are not at a disadvantage, they are the ones who are at a disadvantage."
"Yes, they are the ones who suffered. I set two mousetraps and the bad guys got their feet caught, hehe." Bai Qingqing was still showing off, and He Lan was crying while holding her daughter. She was so scared that she said, "You little girl, you are still showing off, are you trying to scare your mother to death?"
Aunt Zhou and Jiang Lu also hugged Qi Jin and cried, and Li Fang held her daughter's hand tightly.
Everyone was scared.
In fact, they usually take good care of their children, but who could have thought that someone would break into the house and rob them. This really scared everyone in the compound, but besides fear, there was also a strong sense of anger.
Zhao Guihua was furious: "Damn it, these bastards are courting death. How dare they come to my house to rob? Do they really think we are easy to bully? I will beat them to death."
Zhao Guihua rushed in directly. Although the child was fine, Zhao Guihua was still extremely scared.
Not to mention Zhao Guihua, others are the same.
Several old ladies were furious, and the old men were also very angry. They were all clamoring to arrest someone. Zhao Guihua said: "If I don't beat him to death today, it's all my fault!"
"Damn it! I'll go find them..."
Everyone was furious, and Bai Fendou rolled up his sleeves and said, "They really bullied me, Bai Fendou. Wife, you take care of my daughter. I will beat him to death today even if I have to fight!"
"I'm going too!"
At this time, Zhou Qun was already very angry. They only had one child in their family, how could they withstand such a disaster? He picked up a shovel at random. For a moment, the crowd was excited.
"Ah, this...it's a bit difficult for you to take revenge for now." Mingmei finally interrupted.
Everyone looked at her.
Mingmei: "They all fell into the hole."
"What the hell?"
Mingmei: "Somehow they made a hole in the cellar and people fell in."
She thought for a moment and said, "It's not 100% certain yet, but it's basically like this. The children saw them go into the cellar, and they didn't come out. There was no one hiding in the cellar, just a big hole."
Aunt Zhou was furious: "They actually dug a tunnel. How many years have they been planning this?"
Public Security Comrade: "...Uh, that's not the case. They didn't dig that big hole."
He quickly said, "Take care of the children, and then check the damage at home, how much money and things are lost. We have arranged for someone to go down and check the situation later."
"Uncle, we are fine."
“Yes, we are very good.”
"We didn't suffer any loss, they did."
They were all very brave. Even though they encountered bad guys, the children were not scared at all.
At this time, the parents found thick clothes in the house and put them on their children. Zhao Guihua then thought of the ginger tea she had made and said, "I'll go pour some tea for you. Each of you can drink a little to warm yourself up."
The children can hide on the roof for some time to sweat and avoid catching a cold.
The scene was in chaos. Zhuang Zhixi came back late. When he came back, the area had been cordoned off. A lot of police reinforcements had arrived. His face changed and he rushed over: "What happened?"
Fortunately, the person who came over was Director Wang, who is now the director. After being notified of the situation, he came over on his own initiative.
He saw Zhuang Zhixi and said, "Come in."
Onlookers are not allowed to come in, but he is considered a party to the incident.
Director Wang said a few simple words, and Zhuang Zhixi hurried into the yard, walked forward and hugged the children. The two children were still sitting on a small stool and chattering when they were hugged by their father.
Yuanyuan: "Dad, what are you doing?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "You scared me to death."
He was in charge of the preparatory group and had to deal with the aftermath, so he came back late. He didn't expect such a big thing to happen at home. He held the child tightly, and the police officer who was taking the statement didn't urge him. Seeing that Zhuang Zhixi had calmed down a bit, he said, "Little friend, shall we continue?"
Tuan Tuan: "Okay."
He seems like a little adult.
He patted his father and said, "Dad, we're fine."
"Children, we saw bloodstains at the door of the Lan family over there. Do you know what happened?" They knew. None of the children were injured, no one was injured, so the situation at the scene was that a gangster was injured.
Tuan Tuan: "I know. I poured oil on the floor and the old man slipped and then hit the door frame with a bang. He was about to fall to his death, but his son didn't care about him."
"Son? Are you sure?"
Tuantuan nodded and pursed her lips. "There are four bad guys in total. They are all masked, but one of them is called Jiang Baohong. She used to break into the men's restroom here. She is a restroom thug and even stole Li Weiwei's brother's pants. Zhenzhen recognized her."
Li Zhenzhen quickly added: "Yes, yes, I recognized it."
Public Security Comrade: "Jiang Baohong, what else?"
Tuan Tuan: "There are two other criminals, one is Jiang Baohong's husband, and the other is Jiang Baohong's son. The three of them are a family. In addition to the three of them, there is another person, a man about 1.7 meters tall. This person did not show his face, nor did he keep saying his name. He is about 1.7 meters tall, but this person should be easy to find. Both of his feet were caught in a big mousetrap. He was injured and had difficulty walking. But he wanted money more than his life. He thought there was money in the cellar. Even though both of his feet were injured, he still rushed down, crawling and rolling."
"That means two of the four criminals were injured?"
Tuantuan shook his head: "No, three. Jiang Baohong fell and sprained her waist. She was also hit on the head by an icicle that fell from the roof. There was a lot of blood."
Public Security Comrade: “…”
No wonder there were bloodstains under the eaves.
I didn't know what to say for a moment. With such ability and luck, he should just stay put instead of doing bad things.
"Do you know anything else?"
"some."
"In fact, the son was probably injured a little bit. We kicked him in the crotch when we were fleeing. But he recovered later. However, he still walked like a duck, a little twisted."
Public Security Comrade: “…”
Zhuang Zhixi sneered: "They should all be destroyed."
Mingmei also nodded and said, "It is not a pity for such a wicked person to die."
The children from each family were placed together, and the adults gathered here.
"Have you calculated the loss of your money?"
"The cash is not too much, but the situation at the scene, look at these things..."
Public Security Comrade: "We will calculate it based on the actual value."
Wang, the former police officer and now the director, has been standing aside, watching these children, and sighing that they are all good seedlings. Although the children are a little risky in doing things, they are all brave and resourceful.
"Director Wang, everything is almost ready here, you can go down now."
Director Wang: "I'll go over and take a look."
The scene has been thoroughly investigated.
Although several gangsters were injured, no one sympathized with them. Instead, everyone was worried about the children. If they were caught, it would be disastrous. Fortunately, the children escaped, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to think too much.
Despite the cold weather, no one was afraid and they all stood up immediately to go and take a look.
Actually... whenever the four bastards are rescued, they will beat them up and make them pay.
"Everyone doesn't need to follow. We still don't know what the situation is. If everyone gathers together and causes a secondary collapse, it will be easy to get hurt. Everyone doesn't need to go. Don't worry, we are here to help."
Everyone pursed their lips and thought to themselves that even with you here, we would be afraid that you would stop us from beating those bastards.
But it was Zhao Guihua who spoke up. She said, "Okay, then you guys go down and be careful."
She had lived there for so long in her previous life, and she didn't know that there was such a situation in their compound. Do you think she would die? This was something she had never experienced before.
Yuanyuan asked: "So, was that an earthquake just now?"
"It's not an earthquake, it's just a small tremor caused by the collapse."
The children immediately patted their chests, feeling relieved at last.
But then again, it’s really scary that it collapsed like this.
The children started chattering again, Mingmei sat aside, saying very little. In addition to fear and anger, she was also shocked that she didn't dream about what happened this time. Generally speaking, dreams will warn you of something.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are her children, so she should have been warned, but she was not dreaming at all.
You know, when Yuanyuan was in the second grade of elementary school, she broke her leg during a sports meet. She had predicted it in her dreams, so she made preparations in advance, and so the little girl was fine.
She also dreamed that two children went to the moat with their grandfather to play on an ice sled and fell into the lake. She stopped them from going, and sure enough, she heard that the ice had cracked.
But fortunately no one fell in.
She had dreamed of all these things before, but not this time.
Although she had fewer precognitive dreams in recent years, it was still very strange that she had no precognitive dreams at all.
"Grandma, let me tell you, we are both brave and resourceful. We don't even need to discuss anything. We can understand each other just by gestures. They are just stupid thieves. We have climbed up the house one by one, but they still don't know anything."
"That son of a bitch tried to trick us into coming down. He simply took us for little fools, which we are not."
"He definitely wants to take us hostage, but we are not stupid and we won't go down. They are all injured and in a very bad state, hehe."
The children were still chattering, and Mingmei saw that the children were frightened and excited at this, and suddenly she realized that she was not dreaming, because even if she did not intervene, the children would not be hurt.
So she didn't dream? Mingmei thought so and finally felt relieved. Although she knew it was not good to rely solely on predictive dreams, it was still a reminder. She pursed her lips.
Zhuang Zhixi saw that she was very quiet today, so he held her hand and said, "It's okay."
Mingmei nodded: "I know."
They were all scared and relieved. At this time, several public security comrades had tied ropes around their bodies and went down the cave with headlamps and flashlights. It was called a cave, but in fact it was more like a tunnel.
It was not possible for two people to go down at the same time, so they went down separately. After the first comrade went down, he looked at the surroundings and saw a thick layer of soil on the ground, which should be the soil that collapsed, but he did not see many people. However, he saw traces of falling and blood on the ground. There were also traces of walking, which showed that people ran away along the tunnel.
After he came down and landed on the ground, he walked along the tunnel, turned around and walked for a while, about ten minutes, before he saw a hole about the size of a person. After he crawled through, he found that this side merged with the city's sewer.
There were traces of blood on the ground, which showed that the thief had fallen down and then escaped from here.
The people who came down after him also followed him up. They checked the traces around them, then two of them continued forward and two retreated. When they climbed up again, they reported the situation below.
"There is a cave underneath. It looks like it was dug some time ago. Judging from the situation at the scene, it may be from decades ago. No one can hide in it. If you follow it, the other end leads directly to the sewer. The cellar was in normal use before, and no one fell in, so no one may know about it. Today, those people kept banging and jumping around, and coupled with the disrepair, they fell into the cave. As for who dug this cave and why, we have to investigate, but what is certain is that the people ran away."
"Damn, these bastards are really lucky." Zhuang Zhixi came out at some point and eavesdropped on the side. Seeing Director Wang turning around, he said confidently, "Could it be that they knew there was a cave here a long time ago, so they deliberately escaped from here? About a few months ago, we had a sewer maniac incident here, and it might have been them."
Director Wang: "I've heard about this. What you said makes sense."
Others also thought it was very likely. Could it be that these people had planned to do this long ago, so they checked the situation in advance, otherwise how could they dare to do such a big "business"? Moreover, they were already trapped and still wanted to find money. Is this reasonable?
Everyone felt that it was unreasonable and thought that they must have known that there was a tunnel here a long time ago.
The public security comrades immediately began to check if anyone knew about this cave. Aunt Zhou said, "I haven't heard of it. I am one of the earliest people to live in this courtyard, and I have never heard of it. I guess it was before liberation. The people in our courtyard were arranged by the street and the machinery factory after liberation."
The older residents of their compound now are Aunt Zhou, Aunt Wang, and Zhao Guihua. The Sui family and others came later than them, and as for the two seasons, they came even later.
Aunt Zhou: "But if there is a hole leading out, it's not that strange."
Zhao Guihua also nodded in agreement. She said, "Yes, I also heard that before liberation, some families would dig a secret room to hide in order to guard against bad guys. In the early years, the compound we live in was also inhabited by minor officials. It was probably a way to protect themselves. If something happened, people could escape through the hole. But I don't know how Jiang Baohong and the others knew about it."
Now no one really believes that they escaped by accident. They firmly believe that they knew there was such a hole, and they are even more convinced that they were in the sewer just to scout the area.
sewer……
Zhao Guihua suddenly thought of something and said, "Among the four people, could the other one be Fan Debiao?"
She said: "I went to collect rent before and encountered a thief who also sneaked into the sewer. The aunt who caught the thief with me said that the thief was going to find Fan Debiao."
The more she thought about it, the more she said, "Hey, don't mention it, it's really possible. Fan Debiao is about 1.7 meters tall. From what I heard about his description, I feel that his body shape is about the same. Oh, yes, he and Zheng Huimin from our compound don't get along. He once accidentally killed Zheng Huimin's father and was imprisoned. If he feels angry and comes to pick a fight again, it's not impossible. And he doesn't get along with me either."
"It's possible."
"Yes, it is possible."
Director Wang: "You should immediately arrange for an investigation. You should also visit Fan Debiao to see if he is involved in this matter. Also, how is the investigation going on with Jiang Baohong's family?"
When the child first said Jiang Baohong's name, someone had already gone there.
At this time, the investigators came back, panting: "We have investigated and found that Jiang Baohong's family had indeed crawled through the sewers several times in succession. The stench from crawling through the sewers had caused complaints from the residents in their building. When we went there today, their neighbors provided a lot of clues. They are major suspects."
Check out the place, definitely check out the place!
They knew that the sewer was connected to the compound! How insidious! Although this time it did not cause any major damage or casualties, on a beautiful holiday like New Year's Day, they broke into the house and robbed it while no one was around, and they also tried to control the children for unknown purposes. This case is very bad.
You know, there has been a severe crackdown this year, and in their case, we must deal with it severely.
The police quickly completed the on-site inspection and found two experts to confirm that the hole was at least 40 years old, which made it even more certain that it was before the liberation. The hole was quickly sealed, not simply covered with glue, but with a solid backfill. If they wanted to go back on their word, they would never be able to get out.
Everything was handled here and records were made in all aspects. Only thirty-nine yuan was lost from Wang Xiangxiu's room.
The others were not monetary losses, but other damages, with Lan Sihai's family being the worst hit. Of course, these will all be compensated. Don't think that the money is not much, and that you can't determine the nature of the matter after catching the person. This is equally serious.
What they were attempting was "looting," which is different from ordinary theft and robbery.
If it weren't for the children delaying their business, now every household might have suffered huge losses. Even the children were almost controlled. Everyone in the compound was very angry. This matter spread around. Not to mention their compound, who wouldn't be angry? No one dared to say that there was always someone in their house. This guy broke into the house directly. How rampant.
Moreover, we met some children. Fortunately, they were quite capable, otherwise nothing would have happened.
Who wouldn't be afraid of this?
Not to mention the public security action, even the people around him spontaneously began to help keep an eye on Ma Hulugai'er. "You can run into the sewer, right? Then don't come out from down there." When they did this, the news spread immediately, and other places heard about it and quickly joined in.
We are all ordinary people and we all have children. Who is not afraid of such things?
This bad guy must be stopped! The national action is really unambiguous.
This "food" group of four can hardly escape even if they have wings.
