Chapter 287 Midnight Murder!

"Dad! Dad! The Jia family's TV has started broadcasting programs. We also want to go to the Jia family to watch TV." After dinner, Yan Jiekuang would occasionally run to the middle courtyard to wander around. Until he heard the sound coming from the other courtyard, an ecstatic expression immediately appeared on his face. He hurried back to the front yard and told Yan Bugui the news that the Jia family's TV had started broadcasting programs.

When Yan Jie Di heard what Yan Jie Kuang said, she thought of the TV at Jia's house that had already started playing a program. She looked at Yan Bu Gui with a face full of resentment and whispered, "It's all Dad's fault! Why did he have to offend Bang Geng's uncle when everything was fine? Now even the people in the courtyard don't interact with our family much."

Although Yan Jie Di's voice was not loud, Yan Bugui heard it clearly. Yan Bugui, who had originally planned to secretly watch TV while the residents in the courtyard were not paying attention, suddenly felt his face flushed. He angrily scolded Yan Jie Di, "Yan Jie Di! Did I give you less food or less clothes? Did I scheme against Jia Dongming for the sake of our Yan family?"

When Yan Jiedi heard Yan Bugui's scolding, she felt extremely wronged, tears welled up in her eyes, and then she turned around and ran out of the house.

When the third aunt saw her little girl crying and running out of the Yan family, she thought of what Yan Bugui had done before, and agreed to say to Yan Bugui with a look of regret: "Master! Before our family had a conflict with the Jia family, the Jia family always invited the elders in the courtyard to dinner, and they never left you out."

"Whether or not the job of the old lady of the Zhang family in the backyard was arranged by Jia Dongming, it is a matter between the Jia family and the Zhang family. You shouldn't have used this job to coerce the whole hospital and blackmail Jia Dongming. As a result, the job was not solved, you lost your position as the third uncle, and you completely offended the Jia family."

When Yan Bugui heard what the third aunt said, he thought about what he had done. Although he had regretted it long ago, for the sake of the head of the family, Yan Bugui scolded the third aunt with a serious face: "What do you know, you prodigal woman? Isn't it for the sake of understanding?"

"If Jie Cheng had a stable job and was not stingy with money, then Yu Li would not have divorced Jie Cheng, and our family would not have to bear the stigma of disregarding family affection for money."

Yan Bugui's answer made the third aunt speechless. Although she was also unwilling to lend money when Yu Li asked her to borrow money, Yan Jiecheng's behavior of being unwilling to pay even though he had money made the third aunt feel that Yan Jiecheng had indeed gone too far.

Thinking of what Yan Jiecheng had done, the third aunt said to Yan Bugui with some concern: "Master! Jiecheng has ignored family affection for the sake of money. Will he also ignore the life and death of my wife and me for the sake of money in the future?"

When Yan Bugui heard the reminder from the third aunt, he thought of his boss's selfish character and his brows furrowed.

At 8:30 p.m., when everyone was watching the show with great concentration, dense snowflakes suddenly appeared on the TV screen. The neighbors in the yard couldn't help but shout, "Who touched the antenna? Why is there no TV signal?"

Jia Dongming watched TV with Jia Zhang in a boring manner until the TV screen was covered with snowflakes. He then stood up from his chair and said to everyone present: "Dear neighbors! The TV station has gone off work, so there is no signal on the TV. Everyone should go back and rest early!"

When everyone learned that the TV station was off duty, they all had expressions of wanting more, and complained that the TV station was off duty too early.

After saying goodbye to his classmates, Banggeng returned home and said to Jia Dongming happily, "Uncle! This TV is better than watching movies. From now on, we don't have to go to the steel mill to watch movies like other people do."

After hearing what Banggeng said and seeing his excited expression, Jia Dongming warned Banggeng seriously, "Banggeng! I don't mind if you want to watch TV, but you can only watch TV after you finish your homework. Also, your grades. If I find that your grades have dropped because of watching TV, then you can never watch TV again."

Jia Dongming's reminder was like a bucket of cold water poured over Bang Geng's head, causing the excitement on his face to disappear without a trace. He replied guiltily, "Oh! I know, uncle!"

At around ten o'clock in the evening, when Jia Dongming was sleeping with Qin Huairu in his arms, a policeman rode his bike to the small gate of the courtyard, patted the door with his hand, and shouted to the courtyard: "Deputy Captain Zhang! I'm Zhao Dong from the branch, please open the door quickly."

Jia Dongming, who was sleeping with Qin Huairu in his arms, heard the shouting outside the room, pulled his arm out from under Qin Huairu, reached out to pick up the clothes beside him, quickly put on his clothes, walked quickly to the small door, and asked, "Who's knocking?" Zhao Dong, who was standing outside the door, heard Jia Dongming's response and immediately reported to Jia Dongming, "Deputy Captain Jia! There's a big case in the bureau. Director Li asked me to notify you to go to the crime scene immediately."

When Jia Dongming learned that a big case had happened, he immediately ordered Zhao Dong: "Zhao Dong! Wait for me for a moment. I'll go back to my room to change clothes and come right back."

Jia Dongming returned to the room. Qin Huairu, who was lying on the bed, saw Jia Dongming coming back and asked him in confusion, "Brother Dongming! Who is looking for you in the middle of the night?"

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's question, he put on his clothes and introduced to Qin Huairu: "There is a case in the bureau. I have to go to the scene. You go to sleep first!"

After Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongming's introduction, she immediately warned him, "Brother Dongming! You must pay attention to safety."

Jia Dongming put on his clothes, picked up his briefcase, and walked out of the small door while pushing his bicycle. After he closed the door again, he immediately asked Zhao Dong who came to report the news: "Zhao Dong! What case happened that even alarmed Director Li?"

Zhao Dong heard Jia Dongming's question and reported to him while pedaling his bicycle: "Deputy Captain Jia! At around 10 o'clock this evening, when our people were patrolling Dongsi South Street, they suddenly heard gunshots."

"When the patrol team heard the gunshots, they immediately rushed in the direction of the gunshots. When our people arrived there, there were only three bodies left at the scene. The shooter had long since disappeared. Because one of the dead was a foreigner, Director Li asked me to come here overnight to call you to the scene."

After hearing what Zhao Dong said, Jia Dongming finally understood why Li Xidong attached so much importance to the case. You know, in this era, there are not many countries that have established diplomatic relations with China. Since the case involves foreigners, it is normal for the higher-ups to attach so much importance to it.

After riding for about twenty minutes, Jia Dongming and Zhao Dong finally arrived at the outskirts of the crime scene.

"Deputy Captain Jia! Zhao Dong! You are here!" The police officer in charge of the alert, upon seeing Jia Dongming and Zhao Dong, immediately saluted them and greeted them politely.

When Zhao Dong saw his colleague who was on guard, he immediately asked him, "Lao Liu! Where is the crime scene?"

When Old Liu heard Zhao Dong's question, he immediately pointed to a yard not far away and introduced it to Zhao Dong: "Old Zhao! The crime scene is in the small yard in front. The deceased is the owner of that yard."

After hearing what Lao Liu had introduced, Jia Dongming and Zhao Dong walked towards the small courtyard that Lao Liu had pointed to.

Soon the two of them arrived at the small courtyard that Lao Liu mentioned. Lin Minghua, who was directing the police to investigate the scene in the courtyard, saw Jia Dongming coming and immediately saluted him and said respectfully: "Deputy Captain Jia! You are here!"

Seeing Lin Minghua saluting him, Jia Dongming saluted Lin Minghua and then asked Lin Minghua seriously, "Captain Lin! Tell me first, what is the specific situation?"
