Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 259 Bang Geng gets tricked into revealing Jia Zhangshi's identity by the security guard.
Just as Liu Hong was thinking about these things, he saw Li Feng coming in from behind, and at that moment he couldn't help but feel that Li Feng was somewhat familiar.

A few seconds later, he thought of He Wei's case. After all, he had only taken on two or three cases recently, so he thought of Li Feng, who had a strong sense of justice.

At this moment, Liu Hong asked Li Feng, "Your name is Li Feng, right?"

"What brings you here?"

After hearing Liu Hong's words, Li Feng was surprised that the middle-aged security guard still remembered him. After all, it had been quite a while since the He Wei incident, so he was somewhat taken aback that the middle-aged security guard still remembered him.

At this moment, Li Feng couldn't help but say something to the security guard not far away.

"Detective Liu, I've come to report a case."

At this moment, Liu Hong asked Li Feng with some surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Did someone beat up your colleague again?"

Liu Hong recalled that when Li Feng reported the case last time, it led to the discovery of a criminal gang.

This time, he was curious about why Li Feng had reported the case.

At this moment, Li Feng pointed to the stick that Sha Zhu was holding, and then said to the security guard in front of him, "This kid stole something and we caught him, so we came to report it."

Then Li Feng pointed at Sha Zhu and said, "They stole things from his house."

When Liu Hong saw that Sha Zhu was carrying a little boy who looked to be six or seven years old under his arm, he was stunned.

At this point, Liu Hong asked Li Feng with some doubt, "Did this kid steal something from his house?"

Then Liu Hong looked at Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu noticed Liu Hong's gaze and quickly nodded to Liu Hong, replying, "Security officer, it's this brat who steals things, and he's a repeat offender, not just once."

Liu Hong was deeply surprised by Sha Zhu's words.

After all, he hadn't expected that this six or seven-year-old child would steal, and that he was a repeat offender at that. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

However, in cases like this, mediation is usually the main approach, since the child is only seven or eight years old.

At this point, Liu Hong couldn't help but advise Sha Zhu, "Why don't we just let it go? After all, he's still such a young child."

"And you."

Before Liu Hong could finish speaking, Jia Zhangshi's voice came from outside.

"Detective Liu, you must do me justice! Look at my precious grandson, look what they've done to him!"

"Look at how badly they've bullied us, a widow and her orphans!"

"Detective Liu, you have to help us! If you don't help us, we won't be able to survive!"

As Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, he prepared to kneel before Liu Hong.

When Liu Hong saw that Jia Zhangshi wanted to kneel in front of him, he quickly helped her up.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi saw that Liu Hong had helped her up, and then she cried and told Liu Hong what she had said.

"Detective Liu, please take a look."

"My precious grandson, look what they did to him!"

"You have to help me!"

As Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, she wiped her snot, which made Li Feng, who was standing next to Sha Zhu, feel disgusted. After all, Li Feng didn't like seeing Jia Zhangshi wipe her snot, so he turned his head away.

However, to Li Feng's surprise, this Jia Zhangshi should know Detective Liu, but Li Feng did not know how deep the relationship between Detective Liu and Jia Zhangshi was.

However, judging from the current situation, this relationship is unlikely to be deep.

After hearing Li Feng's words, Detective Liu quickly looked at Bang Geng's face and saw that there were many wounds on Bang Geng's face.

There are still many red marks.

At this point, Detective Liu estimated that Bang Geng's face had been slapped, and as for the wound on his face, Detective Liu guessed it was probably caused by calluses on his hands.

When Detective Liu saw this, he couldn't help but say something to Jia Zhangshi.

"You must be from the neighborhood committee under Director Wang's jurisdiction, right?"

After hearing what Detective Liu said, Li Feng realized that Detective Liu definitely had no connection with Jia Zhangshi.

If that weren't the case, why couldn't Detective Liu say Jia Zhangshi's name?

Just as Li Feng was thinking about these things.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi immediately nodded to Detective Liu and replied, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"I am from Director Wang's district."

Just as Jia Zhangshi was about to say something more, Li Feng's colleagues, neighbors, and several elderly men arrived at the police station.

When Liu Hong saw so many people coming to the police station, he was a little stunned.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if there was some earth-shattering case involved. Otherwise, why would so many people come here?

Just as Liu Hong was wondering, an old man in the courtyard immediately said to him, "Detective Liu, I am an old man in our courtyard."

"These people are basically all from our institute."

Liu Hong certainly knew the old man, since he sometimes went on visits with Director Wang from the community, and he knew the old men in charge of Director Wang's area.

So Liu Hong nodded to the old man and asked, "What exactly happened in your courtyard? Why is it making such a fuss?"

Just as the old man was about to explain the situation to Detective Liu, Li Feng, to prevent the old man from siding with Jia Zhangshi, immediately explained to Liu Hong: "Detective Liu, it's like this, this little rascal is called Bang Geng, he's from our courtyard. This little rascal first stole things from our house, and then I taught him a lesson. Then he stole the film reels from Xu Damao's house. You should know Xu Damao, right? He's the one who shows movies in our courtyard."

Liu Hong knew about Xu Damao, who often went out to show movies, so Liu Hong nodded to Li Feng and said, "I know!"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng continued to say to Liu Hong, "We've already let him off the hook twice for stealing things from my house and film from Xu Damao's house, but we didn't expect him to steal from my neighbor and brother Sha Zhu's house again this time."

"As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. Although Banggeng is young, he always steals things, which is not a good thing. If we let him go again this time, wouldn't our courtyard be training a thief for society?"

"If that's the case, then it's better to bring him to the police station as soon as possible and let him reform. So we hope that the police station can help Bang Geng turn over a new leaf and become a good person."

When Li Feng got to this point, an indignant expression appeared on his face. After all, for Li Feng, what he really wanted was to put Bang Geng in a juvenile detention center.

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu immediately nodded to Liu Hong and said, "Yes! Yes!"

"We can't just let him keep stealing like this, can we? If he grows up like this, he'll be a parasite on society. It's better to let him be reformed by the country while he's still young so he can become a good person."

After Li Feng and Sha Zhu finished speaking, they received cheers from everyone present.

After all, they knew that if they didn't send the thrush in now, it might start stealing things from their house later.

Since they've already stolen from several places, it's only a matter of time before it's their turn.

If that's the case, then we might as well nip it in the bud.

That way, he wouldn't suffer any losses. When Liu Hong heard Li Feng and Sha Zhu's words and the support they had received from the crowd, he realized things were getting complicated.

After all, Liu Hong initially intended to resolve the matter through mediation.

It's probably impossible now.

When Liu Hong thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Because Liu Hong was thinking that if the normal legal procedures were followed, the child in front of him would definitely be sent to a juvenile detention center, and if he was sent there, the child's future would be ruined.

Liu Hong generally wouldn't do anything to ruin someone's future.

Although the police station has monthly quotas to meet, Liu Hong usually chooses to complete them by doing other things.

So Liu Hong told Sha Zhu and Li Feng to calm down a bit, since this was a big deal for the kids.

Sha Zhu and Li Feng did not object to this. Although Detective Liu said to calm down, Li Feng would not change his mind at all, because Li Feng wanted to send Bang Geng to the police station.

In this way, Li Feng believed that he had rid the courtyard of a menace, and most importantly, it had also brought him a lot of peace and quiet.

At this moment, Li Feng said to Sha Zhu, "Let's rest for a while over here."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu pointed to the stick in his hand. Seeing this, Jia Zhangshi hurriedly tried to rush towards Sha Zhu, but was stopped by Liu Hong.

Next, Detective Liu instructed his apprentice to keep an eye on the stick and then sent his apprentice to wake up the standby personnel.

After all, with so many people coming at once, there must be people to maintain order and do the work.

After the security guards had maintained order, Detective Liu brought the several stewards, the Jia family, Li Feng, and Sha Zhu to the mediation room.

Bang Geng was eventually taken to the mediation room by Detective Liu's apprentice.

At this point, Detective Liu wanted to ask about the situation with Bang Geng.

At this point, Detective Liu asked Banggeng, "Little kid, tell the security guard why you went to his house to steal things."

After Liu Hong finished speaking, he pointed at Sha Zhu.

Bang Geng had recovered by then, and after hearing what the security guard said, he quickly remembered his grandmother's advice.

So Banggeng quickly shook his head at Liu Hong and then remained silent.

However, Li Feng, standing to the side, sneered, "Detective Liu!"

"It's something that Bang Geng stole."

"There are so many people here who can testify, such as our neighbors and colleagues."

Sha Zhu nodded to Liu Hong and said, "Bang Geng was caught by my sister herself. You must give me justice!"

At this point, Liu Hong didn't completely believe what the two said, so he continued to ask Bang Geng, "Little friend, you have to tell the truth to the security guard uncle. If you don't tell me the truth, then the security guard uncle will lock you up in the juvenile detention center!"

"Little friend, do you know what a juvenile detention center is?"

Bang Geng knew about the police station, but he didn't know what a juvenile detention center was.

At this moment, when Jia Zhangshi saw that Detective Liu wanted to put her precious grandson in a juvenile detention center, Jia Zhangshi immediately became anxious. She tried to reach out and grab Banggeng, and then tried to take Banggeng away from there.

However, Detective Liu ordered his men to take Jia Zhangshi to another room to rest.

As for the method, it is of course mandatory.

After all, Jia Zhangshi was unwilling to cooperate.

After Jia Zhangshi was taken away, Detective Liu continued to ask Bang Geng, "Tell the security guard why you went to Sha Zhu's house?"

Did someone send you there?

At this moment, Li Feng became somewhat anxious and said fiercely, "Hurry up and tell me, or I'll teach you a lesson."

Seeing the impatient Li Feng, Detective Liu then took everyone except Bang Geng to the lounge.

At this point, Detective Liu started asking about the joke again.

"Was that older brother very fierce?"

Banggeng then remembered Li Feng's ferocity, so he quickly nodded to the security guard and said, "Yes! He was really fierce, he hit me so hard."

Detective Liu nodded to Bang Geng and said, "Little friend, don't be afraid, the security guard uncle will protect you!"

"Then tell the security guard, why did you go to Sha Zhu's house to get something today? Did someone ask you to go?"

After hearing the security guard's words, Banggeng remembered his grandmother's instructions, which told him not to tell anyone that she had asked him to fetch something.

Bang Geng still listens to his grandmother, so he didn't tell Detective Liu about it.

Based on his years of experience in handling cases, Detective Liu already knew who had instigated Bang Geng to steal, but he didn't know who it was.

However, Detective Liu also wanted to find out who had instigated Bang Geng to steal, since he didn't want to ruin Bang Geng's future.

If the person who instigated Bang Geng is found, then Bang Geng can be dealt with leniently.

At this point, Detective Liu continued speaking to Bang Geng.

"Little friend, are you afraid of the older brother who just yelled at you?"

Bang Geng quickly nodded to Detective Liu.

"I'm scared!"

After hearing what Bang Geng said, Detective Liu continued talking to Bang Geng.

"If you don't tell the security guard who asked you to pick up the things, then the guard will have no choice but to send you to the juvenile detention center. There are many, many people in the juvenile detention center who are even more vicious than that guy."

"Then you'll be beaten up by a lot of people who are even fiercer than that guy."

When Bang Geng heard what Detective Liu said, he immediately thought of the scene where he was beaten up by Li Feng, and then he couldn't help but shudder.

Moreover, the security guard wanted to send him to a juvenile detention center, where there were many people even more vicious than Li Feng. He immediately cried out to the security guard.

"I don't want to go, I don't want to go to the juvenile detention center, I don't want to go, security guard uncle, I don't want to go to the juvenile detention center."

"Uncle security guard, I don't want to go to the juvenile detention center."

At this point, Detective Liu continued to ask Bang Geng, "Little friend, as long as you tell me who told you to go to Sha Zhu's house, I won't send you to the police station."

"You have to trust the security guard uncle; he won't lie to you."

At this moment, Detective Liu scared Bang Geng to tears. Bang Geng cried to the security guard, "Grandma said that as long as Bang Geng goes to Sha Zhu's house to get something, Grandma will praise me."

When Detective Liu heard this, he already knew that it was all instigated by Bang Geng's grandmother.
