In addition to the residents' houses, there is also a shared utility room in the yard.
In order to prevent them from getting wet in the rain, Cao Shuang and Yan Bugui usually kept their cars in the utility room.
However, now, there are only two iron racks without wheels left in the place where bicycles are placed.
"Who the hell did this?"
Being woken up so early in the morning was irritating enough, and his newly bought car was also dismantled. Cao Shuang finally couldn't control his anger:
For ordinary people, bicycles of this era are comparable to BMW luxury cars of later generations.
It's painful enough to get scratched, let alone having two wheels removed.
"Hehe~"
As soon as Cao Shuang finished speaking, a sneer broke out from the crowd:
"There are three cars in the yard. How come only yours and Uncle San's car had their wheels stolen?"
"Could it be that you have done something shameful?"
"Silly Zhu, what do you mean?"
The wheel was stolen, and Yan Bugui was already angry. When he heard Sha Zhu's sarcastic remarks, his face darkened:
"I am an upright person, what shameful thing could I do?"
Although he is stingy and calculating in his daily life, as a scholar, Yan Bugui still cares about his reputation.
He could not tolerate being robbed and then being slandered.
"Then who knows?"
Sha Zhu didn't care at all about Yan Bugui's anger.
Spreading his hands, Sha Zhu showed a bit of disdain on his face:
"Some people are just sanctimonious. They look normal on the surface, but they dare to do anything in secret."
"Silly Zhu, you..."
Hearing Sha Zhu's words, Yan Bugui was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
However, he knew that although he was good at calculating, he was definitely not as good as Sha Zhu in bickering, so he could only turn his attention to Cao Shuang, who was also splashed with dirty water.
However, when he turned his head, Yan Bugui couldn't help but be stunned:
"Xiao Shuang, what are you doing?"
It was not until Yan Bugui finished speaking that the people around him noticed that Cao Shuang, who had been full of anger just now, was now walking towards the door with a calm face.
"Go to the police station."
Hearing Yan Bugui's words, Cao Shuang turned around and smiled back:
"The car was stolen. This is such a serious matter. We must ask the public security comrades to investigate."
"Yes, yes, we must contact the police!"
After hearing Cao Shuang's explanation, Yan Bugui also reacted:
The car wheel was stolen. Such a big thing definitely cannot be solved by yelling and cursing here.
"I will go with you."
"no!"
Seeing that Yan Bugui was about to leave with Cao Shuang, Sha Zhu, who had just sneered, suddenly stood in front of them:
"You can't go out!"
"What do you mean?"
His eyes fell on Sha Zhu, and Cao Shuang showed a meaningful smile on his face:
"Silly Zhu, are you trying to stop us from reporting the case?"
"No, it's not."
"If it's not you, then get out of the way!"
With a cold snort, Cao Shuang's expression was serious:
"If you dare to stop me here, I will regard you as an accomplice of the thief!"
"If we go to the police for such a small matter, won't it damage the reputation of our courtyard?"
Seeing that Cao Shuang was about to leave, Sha Zhu broke out in a cold sweat.
Stamping his feet, Sha Zhu had a firm expression:
"I will never allow the reputation of the entire courtyard to be affected because of what happened between you two."
"Zhu Zi is right."
As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai stood up from the crowd.
"We are currently selecting the 'Advanced Compound'. If a police officer comes here at this time, it will definitely affect our collective honor."
His eyes fell on Yan Bugui, and Yi Zhonghai continued:
"Old Yan, you are the boss of the courtyard after all. You should consider other people in the courtyard when doing things."
"I……"
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Yan Bugui's face darkened:
"Did my wheel just get lost like that?"
Although he was asking a question, Yan Bugui's tone was a little softer than before.
He agrees with Yi Zhonghai's words:
Although the police represent justice, if ordinary people come into contact with them, they are indeed easily misunderstood by people who do not know the truth.
It’s no exaggeration to say that if the police came to take a look, I’m afraid that tomorrow the whole street office would be filled with the news that someone in their yard had been arrested…
"of course not."
Chapter 129 The idiot got caught
As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai quickly shook his head:
"It's just that we need to investigate this matter ourselves. Unless it's necessary, try not to trouble the public security comrades."
His eyes fell on Yan Bugui, and Yi Zhonghai smiled:
"What do you think of this?"
"I……"
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Yan Bugui's expression was tangled:
How can I have the expertise of a public security comrade if I investigate on my own?
"I agree with the uncle's proposal."
While Yan Bugui was struggling, Cao Shuang had already nodded in agreement:
"Uncle, if we don't go to the police station, can we start an investigation now?"
"Yes."
Although he didn't know why Cao Shuang was so cooperative this time, Yi Zhonghai still nodded:
"Of course, the premise is that you can't interfere with the normal lives of other people in the yard, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, uncle. I have found the thief who stole the wheel."
After finishing his words, before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Cao Shuang's eyes had already fallen on Sha Zhu:
"Silly, you're right, right?"
"You and I……"
When Cao Shuang suddenly called him by his name, Sha Zhu's expression froze.
But soon, he shouted loudly:
"What do you mean?"
His eyes fell on Cao Shuang, and Sha Zhu's face turned ugly:
"Sun Thief, you don't think I stole your wheel, do you?"
"Yes."
Without any hesitation, Cao Shuang nodded as soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking:
"Whether it was you who did it or not, wouldn't it be enough to just conduct a quick search?"
"No, no!"
Seeing Cao Shuang actually walking towards his home, Sha Zhu directly stretched out his hand to block him:
"Who are you and why do you come into my house and search it?"
"Isn't this what the uncle just promised?"
Cao Shuang spread his hands with an innocent expression:
“We don’t file a police report, but we are allowed to conduct an investigation in the yard.”
"Cao Shuang, I only agreed to let you investigate, but I didn't agree to let you search other people's homes at will."
Hearing Cao Shuang's words, Yi Zhonghai frowned instantly:
"If you search every household, will everyone in this courtyard still be able to live a normal life?"
What Yi Zhonghai is best at is using the majority of people to "kidnap" a minority of people.
Just like now, as soon as he said this, the people watching the excitement around him nodded immediately:
Every family has some secrets. What would happen if Cao Shuang was allowed to check them at will?
