Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 363 Who is the Yellow Bird?
"It's a coincidence that you are both here today."

As soon as I entered the compound, I met Zhou Xiaoyu and Lin Yilan. They often worked night shifts, and it was not easy to see them together now.

"Yes, senior brother, you don't know that we are very busy now, and so is Xiaolan. We finally have time to come back and take a rest."

Recently, several houses have been stolen on the street. It’s unclear whether it was stolen during the day or at night. The stolen things were all kinds of things, and a lot of food, clothing, and clothing were lost. What’s more, it was even more egregious. Even the food was carried away in bags.

It is said that the canteen of a certain unit near Dongzhimen was also visited. There was little money and inventory in it, and a lot of food and spices were lost as a result.

Being able to avoid the patrols and move large and small bags, the police station has determined that the crime must be committed by a gang, and there must be someone on sentry duty or someone carrying stolen goods.

Now that area is a key prevention area, and various units have strengthened their security forces and night patrols. Many police stations have also visited and investigated, and launched street searches for people with unknown origins, but there is still no news.

"Did they steal anything valuable?"

Zhu Xuefeng was also a little curious. There was a vast ocean of people now. He was really capable of hiding all the time. But why did this group of people want everything? They were not like a professional group.

"A few lost money tickets, and the amounts were not large, but they added up to a lot, hundreds of dollars in total."

"Erya and the others have already started to help make simple clothes. They said that the master said that they are doing well and are now learning complicated ones."

"By the way, you three, how are your skills now? You've been learning this for almost a year."

It turns out that people from the street came to visit today. One was to investigate the outsiders, and the other was to mobilize unemployed young people to support rural construction.

"It's nothing. I thought of something else. You guys finally had a night's rest. Go and have a rest. If this case is not solved, you will still have to work hard."

"Boss, Erya and the others are fifteen this year. The street said that if they still don't have a job when they turn sixteen next year, they are advised to support agricultural construction. I just took a temporary job in a furniture factory, otherwise they also suggested that I go. "

"We at the institute believe that it should be a collusion between outsiders and the locals. Otherwise there would be no trace at all. There must be locals who are familiar with the terrain. In addition, the wind came suddenly, and it was okay for everyone to be calm for so long. That’s why I thought it was collusion.”

"By the way, Xiaolan, do you want to go to the police station too? If the case is solved then, you might be able to make a meritorious deed and become a regular employee in no time."

Lin Yilan replied with a smile, without a trace of envy. She had her own thoughts, she just didn't want to say them.

Seeing that Lin Yilan had her own thoughts, Zhu Xuefeng stopped interfering and went directly back to the middle courtyard. It was still early and he wanted to wait until it gets darker before practicing.

Zhu Xuefeng nodded. If it was only a few hundred, and it was a gang crime, and each person couldn't share much, he would probably commit another crime.

"Then say hello to Uncle Xue and put your name on it. It should be fine. If this happens again and you can't handle it, tell me quickly and I'll find a solution."

Last time I went to see Xie Minghui, I knew that their place was still short of people, as were several nearby places, so Zhu Xuefeng paid attention. If Lin Yilan also wanted to go, it would be easy to get an internship opportunity by asking her godmother to help. That's why I asked.

"Brother, what are you enjoying?"

"As long as I have Xiaoyu to perform meritorious service, and Senior Brother Xie, I'll be fine no matter what. I just stay in the factory in a down-to-earth manner."

"Oh, I see."

Zhu Xuefeng wanted to laugh when he thought about the two times he had been transported in Japan. The Fuso people probably thought the same way.

Lin Yilan happened to see the corner of Zhu Xuefeng's mouth move, as if he wanted to laugh.

It's only 1961, I didn't expect it to come so soon. Combined with the downsizing of various factories, it seems that it was like this before, but I didn't pay too much attention to this era and didn't know it.

"Boss, you are back and I have something to tell you."

Fortunately, the people in this yard were all of the right age. The only suitable person, Liang Yan, didn't run into her and she went to the countryside with Gao Bo.

"If there are any clues in the institute, you can't act like a headless chicken. Let's go around and check."

Playing with the tea cup in his hand, he asked casually.

"And you,"

"According to your instructions, during these days I have mainly learned the identification of various carving techniques and stone materials. I can now distinguish the engraving knives of various major schools. I can also tell the origin of the materials, and I can also tell the origin of simple carvings. It’s done, it’s still a little complicated.”

"It's very good. You can achieve this in less than a year. Master You is indeed right. He is very understanding. Keep up the good work in the future."

Zhu Xuefeng entered the study, leaving Da Ya standing outside. He originally wanted to ask what the use of learning this was, but he didn't have time to ask.

"Don't delay your practice!"

The boss' instructions came from inside, and Da Ya quickly responded and hurried back to the backyard to tell the two. The master gave the magic medicine. The three of them are now making rapid progress, and they feel that they are improving every day.

Zhu Xuefeng sketched the stolen locations mentioned by Zhou Xiaoyu just now on paper. He had a hunch that these were not collusions between locals and outsiders. They should all be locals.

Combined with the need for food, drink, clothing and supplies, it can only show that these people are in a difficult situation. They can come and go freely in this area. They have not been found. It can only be said that they originally lived nearby.

This is very similar to the concentrated theft at the end of the year in later generations. By the way, the people returning home are being streamlined everywhere now. If you guessed it right, it should be these people who are preparing to make a profit before going back.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't intend to take care of this matter. He couldn't explain why, but he still sympathized with them in his heart. They would be dismissed without even severance, seniority buyout or anything like that. It was indeed quite miserable, but he just didn't agree with their theft from the masses.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't intend to take care of it, but someone couldn't help but took action.

In Beimencang Hutong, Gao Bo and Liang Yan, who had been running around for a few days, finally came back. They had settled down with the folks who were driving the car, and they were speeding up their pace to go home.

It was already getting dark, and it was just after nine o'clock. They would meet the patrol team in a while. Liang Yan's identity could not withstand the investigation, so the two of them avoided the main road and shuttled through the alleys.

There was no one on the street at this time, and most of the children in the alley had gone home. Occasionally, a few were still playing under the dim street lights.

"Little Gaobo, you said we can only earn more than ten yuan after working hard for three days?"

Liang Yan couldn't believe it. Although the senior brother's wealth was not clear, there were many factories in Xiangjiang, and there were tens of thousands of people in charge of Southwest. How could Gao Bo be allowed to do such an inconspicuous thing? But very caring.

"This is still little. If I can do this every day, each person will earn about 150 yuan in a month. You can't earn so much in any job. Besides, my senior brother said, it doesn't matter if I make a little money. The key is to let me learn to work with you." Dealing with people.

To tell you the truth, I didn’t have the skills to do this job last year. It’s much better this time. It’s just a pity that I went late this year. After finishing this batch, it was gone. Last year, we ran three times. trip. "

Liang Yan nodded. This little Gao Bo had never left the capital. This time, he was responsible for organizing and arranging everything. He was really good at dealing with people. He didn't expect that his senior brother would use this method to train people.

As he was talking, he walked out of the alley and was about to say more. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a strange head shaking on the roof of a building in the distance across the alley. He quickly stopped talking and stopped Gao Bo from speaking.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Gao Bo was inexplicable. Liang Yan looked at it carefully for a while. The other party was not aware of it and was still monitoring the nearby streets. After a while, he whispered, "There seems to be something weird in front of here. Please don't say anything and come with me to take a look." There are many shops in this place, and a department store is also nearby. There are no houses, and there shouldn't be anyone upstairs. Gao Bo followed Liang Yan into a nearby alley in confusion.

After walking around and coming to the building where they were, Liang Yan clung to the wall and examined it for a while. Gao Bo didn't find anything wrong and asked in a low voice in confusion.

"Senior Sister Yanzi, what's going on?"

Liang Yan has determined that someone is quietly destroying buildings nearby. The movement is very small and light, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect it. Liang Yan also listened to it several times before confirming it.

"Don't go any further. If you go any further, you will be discovered."

Liang Yan stopped Gao Bo's curiosity and remembered what his senior brother said a few days ago. This was probably the theft gang that his senior brother said. It really had no technical content at all. It was just geniuses who took action when they got dark.

It looked like he was planning to break in brazenly. You should know that generally larger shops still have personnel on duty, especially in the past week or so, there have been cases of theft everywhere.

Liang Yan's hands felt a little itchy. These people had no regard for morality and would steal from everyone. This made her very uncomfortable. Now that she encountered them, she had to make them suffer.

"Little Gaobo, go back quickly and ask your senior brother to come over. Tell him that you have discovered the theft gang and ask him to help."

"Sister, would it be more appropriate for us to report it directly to the police station and let the police arrest the person?"

Gao Bo had also heard of this theft gang. They had stolen several times in residential areas in a short period of time, which made everyone panic. He didn't expect to encounter them this time, but he never saw or heard anything strange. But for Liang Yan The ability is still clear.

"No, I hate seeing the public servants the most. When they come, I turn around and leave."

Gao Bo had no choice but to turn around and look for someone, hoping that his senior brother was in the yard.

"What did you say, Yanzi discovered the theft gang?"

Zhu Xuefeng was also quite surprised. This Yanzi was really courageous. He dared to stay there alone. I hope he wouldn't be impulsive.

He quickly asked Daya to call Zhou Xiaoyu and Lin Yilan, and then said to Gao Bo, "You guys have to work hard again. Go to the police station and ask Xie Minghui to report to the station and let the police handle it."

"But Senior Sister Yanzi said," Gao Bo was still hesitating, Zhu Xuefeng urged, "Why are you still standing there? Listen to me and just say that you and Xiaoyu found it while walking." Gao Bo then turned around and ran away.

The two of them hurried over without knowing what was going on. Zhu Xuefeng gave a brief introduction before setting off.

"Brother, it's just the three of us. That's a gang. If anything happens, we don't have any weapons."

Although Zhou Xiaoyu was also eager to give it a try, the three of them still felt a little unsure when facing a criminal gang. This was different from fighting, as people had to fight tooth and nail.

"I've called you here for a while so that you two can make a contribution. We'll wait until the police arrive. Let's go! We'll talk about the rest on the way."

Lin Yilan didn't ask any more questions. If her senior brother told her to leave, she would leave, even though she didn't take any credit for it.

The three of them hurried to the scene in a car, and now they could only pray that Liang Yan would not be impulsive.

"Brother Gen, someone is coming over there, riding a bicycle, it looks like there are at least two of them."

"Ignore him. He must be passing by. Did he open it up?"

A soft reply came from below, "It's already loosened. Right now...it's already opened."

"One person was watching from the outside, and the others quickly went in. They first controlled the person on duty, and then found the valuable ones and started moving them..."

A group of people tiptoed through the entrance of the cave. Brother Gen stood at the entrance of the cave and reminded inside.

"Be smart with your hands and feet, don't take big or heavy items, and remove them when the packaging is full."

Zhu Xuefeng had already noticed someone behind the building, and also found someone watching upstairs. Fortunately, Liang Yan didn't have a fever on her forehead and was still guarding the alley. The scooter changed direction and entered the alley.

"I was passing by and entered an alley."

The sentry lay in the corner and reported below, and Brother Gen also relaxed.

"Senior brother, these don't seem to be from the Tao, they are frizzy, what should we do?"

She did know that Zhou Xiaoyu and Lin Yilan only nodded when they met and had no friendship, so they just said hello casually.

"We don't need to take action. Let the police deal with these people. We'll leave after we keep an eye on them for a while. Xiaoyu, I'll leave this to you. If Yilan is interested, you can stay and help."

Lin Yilan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said she would stay with Zhou Xiaoyu. When Liang Yan saw that her senior brother had notified the police, she immediately lost interest.

"Then what are we doing here? Let's go. I don't want to meet them."

He explained to Zhou Xiaoyu again.

"I'm not talking about you. Since you recognize my senior brother as your senior brother, you are also considered my junior sister. This is a meeting gift for you."

Zhou Xiaoyu and Lin Yilan had heard Zhu Xuefeng say that this kung fu man was very powerful, and if they were tied together, they would not be her match, so they nodded.

"Thank you, senior sister."

After speaking, Liang Yan was about to turn around and leave. Zhou Xiaoyu and Lin Yilan were under surveillance, but Zhu Xuefeng stopped her and pointed to a small building to the east, almost thirty meters away from the crime scene.

"Let's go to the front and take a look. There's something fishy about this. There are people in that building observing, but they don't look like sentinels."

Liang Yan knew that her senior brother had perverted eyes, so she didn't doubt it. She was just curious and followed Zhu Xuefeng away.

The two of them were leaning against a big tree thirty or forty meters away from the small building. No one was walking around in the alley, only there was movement from time to time in the yard in the distance. Look at the time, it's ten o'clock soon, there will be a few minutes. , the courtyard in this area is also closed, and no one will come.

Patrol teams generally don't wander in alleys, and they are not afraid of wandering. Zhu Xuefeng now carries a small notebook with him at all times. This is really useful, especially at night.

This place is covered by big trees, so it's quite hidden. You can just see the small building, but you can't see the crime scene.

"Brother, let's just wait like this. If this person is not the same as these people, should we keep guard?"

"I don't know, I'm just curious. This person is in a position where he can see this area. To say that he has nothing to do with this matter, I always think it's impossible. To say that it is related, something is wrong there. "

There was a noise of a jeep and a motorcycle not far away. It should be people coming from the police station. The noise was a bit loud. It seemed that there were a lot of people coming. Sure enough, the sound of the car was followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps. Maybe the police station would be cleared. Everyone on duty is here.
