Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 686: A Clever Solution to a Strange Situation
Wang Laoqi's father was a famous and upright man who had experienced many major cases. According to legend, it was his father's idea to put the torture instruments on Yanzi Li Saner to prevent him from escaping. Eventually Li Saner was locked up in a water dungeon in the yard and eventually died of illness. His father also worked as an assistant to Inspector Jiang and solved a jewelry store theft case.

After liberation, the streets were full of all kinds of people. The newly established public security department intended to let Wang Lao Hu come out, but Wang Lao Hu said that he was old and could not bear the burden. However, he recommended his own son Lao Qi. When the people in the department got to know Wang Lao Qi, they found out that Wang Lao Qi was just an alley dweller, but for Wang Lao Qi's sake, they made Wang Lao Qi a low-level assistant manager, who was not even a security guard to put it bluntly.

But today Wang Laoqi had a mission, because he was familiar with the alleys around Qianmen Street, so he was given a secret mission to keep an eye on a man named Yu Huairen, who lived in Xiaoweiying Hutong. His group was with a young man named Wang Hu. Wang Hu was a veteran who had been in the army for five years, but he came from a martial arts family, and after entering Beijing, he was assigned to the special task force.

On the first day, Wang Laoqi followed Wang Hu obediently, staring at the gate of a courtyard. Wang Hu didn't move at all, but Wang Laoqi couldn't stand it. He had never suffered such a torture before. The next day was New Year's Eve, so he was lazy and didn't come until noon.

Wang Hu was unhappy at the time, and questioned Wang Laoqi when he saw him. Wang Laoqi knew he was in the wrong, so he rolled his eyes and said to Wang Hu: "It's useless for us to keep staring at the gate. If you want to know whether this person has any problems, we still have to lure the snake out of its hole."

When Wang Hu heard this, he also wanted to make merit as soon as possible. He felt that Wang Laoqi was right, so he looked at Wang Laoqi and asked, "Then what should we do? How do we lure the snake out of its hole?"

Wang Laoqi's eyes rolled, a plan came to his mind, and he whispered to Wang Hu.

Wang Laoqi found a few idle people from the neighborhood and also found a woman. The woman was dressed up and wore heavy makeup. Wang Laoqi kept whispering to them. Wang Hu kept frowning beside him. He was disgusted with these people and had a natural sense of rejection, but he had no choice now. He also felt from the bottom of his heart that Wang Laoqi's plan was very good.

After a while, Wang Laoqi asked, "Tiger, has that man not come out since this morning? Are you sure?"

Wang Hu said, "Don't worry, I've been watching him and he never showed up."

Wang Laoqi waved his hand, and the woman in rouge and powder and a flowery cotton jacket twisted her waist and headed straight for the courtyard where Yu Huairen was. As soon as she entered the gate, an old man stopped her and asked with a frown, "Who are you looking for?"

"As for me, I'm looking for Brother Yu. He stayed overnight with me but didn't pay me. So I came here to find him." The woman shouted loudly.

"Impossible, Lao Yu is not that kind of person. He didn't go out at all last night." The old man was anxious and replied quickly.

The woman ignored the old man and stood at the door and shouted, "Lao Yu, Lao Yu, Yu Huairen, come out to me, you don't want to pay me after you're done, right? I'm telling you, if you don't pay me, I'll sue you and make trouble at your workplace."

The woman stood at the gate, with her hands on her hips, and kept shouting. The old man frowned and said quickly, "Don't talk nonsense. He didn't go out last night."

The woman laughed and said, "Old man, who are you to him? Why do you stay up all night staring at him?"

When the old man heard this, his face changed drastically. At this time, the neighbors in the yard came out one after another, and some people slowly gathered outside the door, and the number was increasing. Today was New Year's Eve, and every household was at home.

The woman continued to curse, and someone in the crowd outside suddenly said, "Yu Huairen works for the new government. For someone like him to do this, you can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart."

The old man was a little startled when he heard the discussion, and he dodged and quietly retreated back to the courtyard. After a while, Yu Huairen came out with a frown, and the old man mixed into the crowd again. Yu Huairen looked at the unfamiliar woman and said, "Don't make a fuss, come in, let's talk it out."

The woman was not afraid either, and followed Yu Huairen into the east wing of the central courtyard. At this time, a woman who looked like an old lady exchanged glances with the old man, then stood up and shouted, "Okay, everyone, go away. This is a misunderstanding. Go away, go away."

At this time, another person outside shouted, "That won't do. What if Yu Huairen kills someone to silence her? We have to watch that girl leave before we leave." At that moment, several people nearby also started to make a noise.

When the old man heard this, he turned around and disappeared again. After a while, the woman came out happily with a stack of money. The crowd outside dispersed along with this woman.

Wang Laoqi in the distance said, "Okay, the show is over, let's find someone to clean up the internet."

Wang Hu watched the fun, but he didn't understand what Wang Laoqi said, so he asked, "What net are you collecting?"

Wang Laoqi looked at Wang Hu and asked, "Don't you understand? If you were a decent person and were blackmailed, would you just pay the money and let it go?"

Wang Hu shook his head blankly. Wang Laoqi smiled and said, "That's right. They are the ones who used money to avoid trouble. There must be something fishy going on. The old man and the woman who later asked everyone to leave should be his accomplices. Do you understand? They are afraid of getting into trouble, so they used money to keep things quiet. If you don't catch them now, the woman I found might lose her life tonight."

Wang Hu thought about it and understood it all at once. The two of them divided the work. Wang Laoqi would keep an eye on it while Wang Hu would go and report.

After a while, a team of soldiers came. It was led by Qi Dasheng. After listening to Wang Laoqi's words again, Qi Dasheng looked at Wang Laoqi deeply, waved his hand and said, "Catch him."

The soldiers rushed in, and Wang Hu also rushed in. A gunshot was heard in the middle courtyard. After a while, three people were escorted out. Their jaws had been removed and they could not speak, but their eyes were spitting fire.

Some soldiers were searching the homes of the three people. Wang Laoqi stood next to Qi Dasheng and said to himself, "If it were me, I would definitely not leave the things at home. I would definitely leave them somewhere no one would expect."

Qi Dasheng was stunned. He was very interested in Wang Laoqi, so he asked, "Tell me where you would put it?"

"When we hooligans steal money, we usually hide it in the wall of the dry toilet where no one would think of it," said Wang Laoqi calmly.

The three people who were being held captive all looked at Wang Laoqi in shock when they heard what he said. Wang Laoqi said with a sly smile, "Don't look at me like that. I'll be scared."
