These days there aren't many security cameras, so the cost of committing a crime is very low. People often go missing in rural areas. To put it bluntly, if you kill someone, dig a hole, bury them, and do it discreetly, no one will ever know for the rest of their lives.
Shu Hui felt that safety was the most important thing when traveling.
"Forget it, we're from out of town. If we really get into a fight, it definitely won't do us any good."
Chu Yu didn't want to tolerate it. Why should she? Shu Hui was right. They were outsiders. They wouldn't dare to stand up for themselves when they encountered locals. That's exactly what the locals were looking for.
I dared to climb over the wall today because I ran into Chu Yu and didn't do anything bad. If Chu Yu were asleep or not at home, and it was just Shu Hui and Chu Chu at home, what would happen?
Chu Yu didn't believe that a grown man would climb over the wall just to fix a light bulb in her house.
The problem already exists, and it won't be forgotten just because Shu Hui tolerates it. Their failure to report it to the police and their inaction won't stop the murderer from going to his death; it will only make the murderer think they are easy to bully.
Beijing has good public security. The police arrived within ten minutes of Chu Yu reporting the incident. After investigating the scene, the police said:
"It was probably someone you know who committed the crime. Be careful lately, and make sure to lock your doors and windows when you go to bed at night."
"Can't we go door-to-door to check the situation?" Shu Hui asked.
The police apologized, saying, "We don't have the right to search other people's homes, but you made the right choice to call the police. Just letting it go will only embolden them. However, next time you encounter something like this, it's best to catch them in the act, otherwise the perpetrator will never confess."
The commotion caused by Chu Yu's family calling the police was quite loud, and by daybreak, all the neighbors knew about it.
These days, the people of Beijing are very conscious; they can solve cases that the police can't. Aunt Qiao frowned and said:
"Besides the Cao family son, there's no one else. We've all come to ask about the situation, but the Cao family son hasn't come out at all. What else could this be but a guilty conscience!"
"His hand was broken, so he won't be able to get out anytime soon. Let's keep an eye on him. Once we've locked onto him, everyone be extra careful. We can't let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch."
The local neighbors all felt ashamed.
People from other places are all law-abiding citizens, but these locals have produced bad elements, the kind of lewd criminals who climb over widows' walls. This person has completely disgraced the people of Beijing.
Chu Yu had someone reinforce the top of the wall and installed a lot of razor blades on it. The blades were spaced far enough apart that they wouldn't hurt the cat.
Chu Yu thought that it was indeed unsafe to have no man at home, and that they should get a dog in their situation.
Chu Yu always consulted Xu Xiaohong about getting a dog or cat. Xu Xiaohong had been making hamburger buns and desserts for Yorkham recently, and business was quite good. When she heard that Chu Yu wanted to get a dog, she readily agreed and offered to help Chu Yu choose a suitable breed.
While Chu Yu was busy looking for the dog, Zhou Fangchun had already been escorted back to Beijing. She was the actual person in charge of the mutual aid society. The mutual aid society had a funding gap of over 100 million yuan, and Zhou Fangchun received nearly 50 million yuan, of which more than 30 million yuan was transferred to Mao Xia's account in Gangcheng.
More than ten million were recovered.
Ten million is not much compared to one hundred million. It's probably a miracle to get back this ten million. Since ancient times, there has never been a case of getting back money that has been swindled.
Regardless, Zhou Fangchun's return to Beijing for trial rekindled hope among many members.
