Chapter 71
There were three women and two men in the yard.
Except for a girl whose hair was messy as if she had just had a big fight and was now sitting down to drink water, the other four people were lying neatly in the yard, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Hao Ren looked at the girl, then turned to look at Xing Fei.
What's going on?!
Xing Fei walked into the yard, his expression indescribable. "Have you arranged them neatly?"
"Well, it was uncomfortable to see them lying all over the place, so I moved them around a bit. They were just lying in the yard anyway, and nothing in the house was moved." The girl, Nie Xiangnan, finished drinking the water, rinsed her mouth with the last sip, spit it out, wiped her mouth vigorously and said.
Hao Ren: "...Okay, girl, tell me what's going on first."
Nie Xiangnan pointed at the lying Bai Xingzi and said, "My name is Nie Xiangnan, and this is my mother, Bai Xingzi. My father is Nie Xuesong. He somehow met Director Zhu and wanted to ask him for help. He took a liking to me, so my father asked my mother to bring me here."
Nie Xiangnan snorted, pointed at Director Zhu, then at another man and woman and continued, "They should be a couple. The woman cooks and the man helps. They should be related to Director Zhu. I heard the woman call him my cousin. The teapot in the room was drugged. My mother handed it to me at the time, and I exchanged cups with her when she wasn't paying attention. Later, when Director Zhu came, she also drank the drugged water. I hit the woman on the head with a stick while she was cooking, so she shouldn't have died. The man probably realized I wasn't unconscious and wanted to beat me, so he was knocked down by that police comrade." Nie Xiangnan pointed at Xing Fei, "You know the rest."
"Okay, how did you know there were drugs in the cup?" asked a policeman.
Nie Xiangnan: "I received a note this morning. It said something like this. Someone must have known about my parents' disgusting deeds."
Hao Ren closed the notebook in his hand and asked two colleagues to take Nie Xiangnan home. "You should go home first. Don't travel far recently. We may look for you again."
Nie Xiangnan shook his head. "I'm not going back to my home. I've already gotten my marriage certificate with my fiancé. Can you go home with me to get some things and then send me to my in-laws' house? I can tell you what my father did before. Those two policemen who go there had better arrest my father and send him to the northwest." Nie Xiangnan talked about a few things Nie Xuesong had done, such as contacting people to steal and sell things from the factory.
"Also, I'm going to tell you something about Director Zhu. Can you count it as a merit and find me a job?"
Hao Ren thought about the director's recent distress, exchanged glances with several colleagues, and agreed. If they could successfully bring down the Zhu brothers, their director would be very happy, and offering him a job wouldn't be a problem.
As for arresting her father… originally, according to what the girl said, her father had only agreed to send his daughter to Zhu Shanwang, and he hadn't personally delivered her. Even if he was detained, it wouldn't be for long. But if you add in what she said later, the possibility of action is much greater.
"The courtyard next door also belongs to this person. There's a small table against the north wall of the study. The brick on the right side of the table leg is movable. If you pull the brick out, there's a ring inside that opens the door behind the right cabinet. That door leads to the next room. Under the bed next door is a lot of Great Unity. He must have embezzled it. There's also a cellar next door with gold and some antique vases."
One of the policemen asked, "How did you know?"
"Didn't I tell you that he liked me? He told me about it and even took me to see it." Nie Xiangnan looked up and spoke calmly.
Xing Fei: This girl is really capable. She can speak so calmly now and has a good psychological quality. She can even be an undercover agent.
After listening to what Nie Xiangnan said, two policemen went into the house. Five minutes later, they came out and nodded. It was exactly the same as what they said to the girl.
"Okay. Lao Lu, Lao Qin, you go home with this girl, arrest her father, and then go to the police station to call for more people." Hao Ren and others divided the tasks.
After Nie Xiangnan and the other two had left, Xing Fei spoke up, "Old Hao, you two just wait. I'm going to my house to talk to Chunliu and send her home. I just told her to wait for me."
"Okay, go ahead. We should work overtime these days." Hao Ren and the remaining three people handcuffed the four people lying down one by one.
Although they said they had to work overtime, they did not feel too worried. If they really caught the corrupt officials, they would get a lot of bonuses!
Hao Ren thought happily that if the director was happy, he would give out more bonuses. By then, his children would have enough money to make clothes for the next three or four years, and his wife would not have to worry anymore.
.
Bi Chunliu had been sitting at Xing Fei's house for quite a while. She looked at the clock and it was already nine o'clock. She was worried that if she didn't go back home, her three younger brothers and sisters would not be able to sleep. She was just thinking about waiting for another ten minutes. If Xing Fei didn't come back, she would leave him a note.
Xing Fei knocked on the door. Before Bi Chunliu could say anything, Xing Fei said, "Chunliu, it's me. Open the door."
Bi Chunliu opened the door and said, "Why are you so late? I was just thinking that if you don't come back, I'll go home."
Xing Fei said as soon as he heard it, "Then I'll take you home and we'll talk on the way."
"Okay!" Bi Chunliu agreed straightforwardly.
Xing Fei got on the bike and said, "We'll be busy for a while. This matter may involve a lot of things. I came here to tell you about Weiguo's cooking lessons. I told Uncle Cai about it, and he said he wanted to meet Weiguo. I think he's quite interested in Weiguo, so it shouldn't be a problem. Are you guys free this Sunday? Uncle Cai said he's waiting for you at home, but I may not have time to take you two. I'll tell Xiaomei and let her go with you then."
Bi Chunliu was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected things to go so smoothly! She agreed, "Okay, just go about your business."
"good!"
.
Xing Fei was busy trying to uncover the Zhu brothers' crimes, and Bi Chunliu wasn't idle either. Rumors were swirling around the compound recently because Nie Xuesong and Bai Xingzi had been arrested. Director Yao from the subdistrict office went to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about Nie Xuesong's situation, but was told he wouldn't be released for the time being.
Director Yao had no choice. Even though Nie Xuesong was not there, the patrol mission of their compound was not yet completed. In the end, Xue Zhengchu was successfully promoted from the second uncle to the first uncle.
Thursday night was another patrol night.
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu continued to ask Nie Xiangdong about his parents.
The Nie family had been quiet for the past few days. Nie Xiangnan had quietly moved in with her in-laws, and they only just now discovered that their younger sister had secretly gotten married! His mother was still home every day, completely unaware that the family's household registration had been stolen. The He family didn't even give a betrothal gift or hold a wedding banquet, and yet his younger sister went away. What kind of thing is this?!
Nie Xiangdong rubbed his head. He was already tired from work, and now he had to patrol at night. It was really tiring. The second and third brothers always made excuses whenever there was something to do. Xue Zhengchu was the same. Whenever there was something to do, he would say that he was the eldest brother in the family and had to take responsibility. How come he didn't think of himself as the eldest brother when there were benefits, but only thought of himself when there was something to do?
"Aunties, I haven't even seen my parents, how am I supposed to know what happened?"
Aunt Zhang looked at him suspiciously. "So what did your parents do to get arrested? Didn't you notice anything wrong?"
Aunt Wang followed suit and said, "Did your parents do anything to let Xiangnan down? I don't think Xiangnan has come home yet."
Aunt Liu and the others were reminded, "Old Wang is right, I haven't seen Xiangnan in the past two days. What's wrong with her?"
Nie Xiangdong said angrily, "She secretly got married to someone and went to his house!"
"ah?!!"
Except for Bi Chunliu, everyone else was very surprised. Even Yuan Zhiqiang from the Second Hospital did not know about this.
Aunt Zhang: "This girl is really..."
"Catch the thief—catch the thief—"
Two screams echoed through the night sky.
The night watchmen were startled. Where is the thief?
Several men told the female comrade to blow the whistle and call for help, and they ran towards the place where the screams came from.
Each patrol team only has one whistle. Xue Zhengchu just handed the whistle to Aunt Lei, who was now blowing it.
Aunt Liu was very upset when she heard this. "Oh my! I didn't expect this thief to come here. There aren't many rich people in our area. They wouldn't steal from wealthy places!"
"Oh my god! My Haohao has a light sleep, don't scare the child!" Aunt Zhang was worried about her grandson.
Aunt Wang was also anxious. Her home was different from other families. There was no one at home right now. Mu Sheng was at work, and she was on night patrol herself. If a thief really came there, wouldn't it be like giving the things in her home to the thief?
Not to mention Lu Jinjin, her family's Wencheng is a child, "Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhang, let's go home, I'm afraid Wencheng will be scared."
Aunt Lei stopped whistle and agreed.
After returning home, several people did not delay and ran towards their homes.
Bi Chunliu knocked on the door, "Weiguo, open the door, it's me."
Bi Weiguo opened the door, and Bi Xiahe and Bi Qiuguo came over. "Sister, is there a thief here?"
Bi Chunliu took the stick that she had hidden in her house a while ago. She thought that if someone really dared to come to her house, she would knock him out!
After an unknown amount of time, the sky gradually brightened. As the wall clock chimed five, Bi Chunliu jerked awake. It was already five o'clock. He glanced back at his younger brother and sister, both of whom had fallen asleep on the table.
I don’t know if the thief was caught?
Bi Chunliu woke up Bi Weiguo and asked him to look after his two younger sisters. Bi Chunliu opened the door and went out.
When she arrived at the yard, Bi Chunliu saw Aunt Liu's son-in-law Anqing and Zhang Jianyuan talking, so she lowered the stick in her hand.
"Are Brother An, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Xue back?" Bi Chunliu asked quietly. An Qing must have just returned home from his shift and might know something they didn't.
An Qing shook his head and repeated what he had just said to Zhang Jianyuan. "Three people were found in our compound, and one ran away. I heard from a colleague that the machinery factory's family compound was also robbed. They have a lot of people there, and there are a lot of night patrols, so they caught five people this time. I don't know if the thieves split into two groups. I guess Director Yao will know what happened when the sun rises."
Zhang Jianyuan: "They must have split into two groups! When I get to work, I'll ask my coworkers if they know."
Lu Jinjin came out of the house and asked, "Are we still going to patrol the night? When will the one who ran away be caught?"
Chen Dali walked into the compound from outside and laughed heartily, "Sister Lu, don't worry, I think I'll be there soon! I hit that guy in the leg with a brick, and the police are already looking for him. He won't be able to get far!"
