There's an old saying in Beijing: "The east is rich, the west is noble, the south is poor, and the north is lowly."
Therefore, the western part of the city has always been inhabited by nobles and officials.
Of course, we are no longer in a feudal society, so there is no longer any class distinction among the people.
Most of the houses have been taken over by the public, like the large courtyard where Su He's family lives, which is also in the western part of the city, but it is already on the outskirts.
The situation is different in the area near the imperial city. Many families here have left behind complete courtyard houses, which are privately owned and currently inhabited by powerful and influential families living in their own separate households.
When Captain Chen brought them over, the police officers who had been waiting there were already there. Upon seeing them, they immediately explained the situation.
"The fugitive has entered this area and we don't know which house he's hiding in yet. There are people guarding the alley exit and the wall, so he definitely hasn't escaped yet. We can only check house by house."
However, there are some difficulties…
As for the difficulties, the police didn't say anything later, but Su He and the others guessed it. No ordinary people lived in this place, so they couldn't just go and search their homes.
Captain Chen thought for a moment, and was about to say something when he heard a sound coming from afar.
"Stop running! Stop right now!"
Everyone ran over immediately after hearing the sound.
Then I saw people running on the high wall, with others chasing them below.
I don't know if they thought the prisoner wasn't dangerous, but none of the police officers who came out this time were armed, which is why the fugitive was so arrogant.
Just then, a policeman quickly climbed up the wall in front of the fugitive and blocked his way.
Seeing that there was no way out, the fugitive jumped off the wall and entered one of the houses.
Seeing this, the police jumped in without thinking.
It was getting late, and people from the surrounding area came over to see what was going on after hearing the noise.
"My God, that person went into the Qu family's house!"
Without stopping, Captain Chen and his team walked straight over, intending to enter through the main gate to arrest the person, but the gate was locked from the inside, and they couldn't get in at all.
Team Leader Chen could only knock on the door, but before anyone could open it, he heard a woman's voice from inside, "Who are you? Who let you into my house?"
Realizing that the fugitive and police inside had already confronted the homeowner, and fearing for the homeowner's safety, Captain Chen immediately shouted from outside, "Open the door quickly, the police are arresting the criminal!"
However, the people inside didn't seem to be paying attention to this; they kept shouting, "Hey, why are you running? Who let you into my house? Don't come in!"
Seeing that the people inside didn't have time to deal with this for the time being, Captain Chen glanced at Luo Jun.
Luo Jun immediately understood, took a few steps forward and assumed a horse stance, leaning against the wall. Captain Chen rushed over and stepped over him to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard.
Shen Yang followed closely behind, and the remaining men also jumped over the wall and went inside.
Su He: "..." No, didn't the first person who went in think of opening the door first?
Do we really have to jump over the wall to get in?
Seeing that everyone had forgotten about her, Su He hesitated, wondering whether she should go in in the same way.
With a "click," the door finally opened from the inside.
It was Song Minghui. He nodded to Su He and then quickly walked into the courtyard.
Seeing this, Su He and Luo Jun, who had acted as a human ladder, quickly followed.
However, after entering the second gate, they found that it was already over inside.
Because the fugitive had already been caught and was being handcuffed and pinned to the ground.
But everyone's expressions were very serious.
