Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"Bang bang bang!"

The urgent knocking on the door interrupted the secret plot inside the Yi family's house.

Yi Zhonghai's heart tightened. He gestured for everyone to be quiet and walked to the door, asking, "Who is it?"

"Yi Zhonghai, open the door. I am Qin Ming."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, opened the door, and forced a smile: "Captain Qin, what's the matter?"

Qin Ming stood at the door, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone in the room: Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, and Wang Cuilan, all of whom were pale-faced and had evasive eyes.

"With a series of deaths occurring in the courtyard, the situation is complicated. For your safety, everyone must temporarily leave the courtyard."

The station has already arranged accommodations for you. Return to the station after the murderer is apprehended.

"Huh?" Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then a surge of joy welled up in his heart. Such a good thing?

Leaving this awful place and laying low for a while will be the perfect opportunity to carry out their plan.

But he feigned hesitation: "Captain Qin, wouldn't this be too much trouble for the organization?"

"It's no trouble at all."

Qin Ming waved his hand, "The case is suspicious now, and the murderer may still be nearby. It will make it easier for us to protect you if you all stay together."

The Red Star Hotel has already registered rooms for you. Please go and settle in. I still need to notify the others.

"Wait, Captain Qin," Yi Zhonghai suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing, "You're not going to inform the Lin siblings in the backyard, are you?"

"That's right." Qin Ming nodded. "They have to evacuate too."

Yi Zhonghai and the others in the room exchanged glances, all seeing unease and fear in each other's eyes, and carefully considered their words.

"Captain Qin, could you arrange for the siblings to stay at another hotel?"

He paused, lowered his voice, and pleaded clearly: "You know the general situation in the hospital, and we are really afraid."

Qin Huairu stepped forward at this moment, her eyes red and her voice choked with sobs: "Captain Qin, my husband is dead, my son is dead, and my mother-in-law is still lying in the hospital."

"Considering we were related five hundred years ago, could you please arrange for them to live a little further away from us?"

She spoke with such sincerity that tears streamed down her face, a sight that would break anyone's heart.

Yan Bugui stepped forward, his tone heavy: "Captain Qin, I know that as a teacher, I should not promote feudal superstition."

However, these unexplained deaths in the hospital must have shaken your resolve.

He paused, his voice becoming even more earnest: "We dare not ask for anything, we just want... to live."

Looking at the pleading faces before him and listening to their humble pleas, Qin Ming felt a mix of emotions.

He was a staunch materialist, but the series of bizarre deaths that occurred in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang courtyard were indeed difficult to explain scientifically.

Jia Dongxu, Liu Guangtian, and Yan Jiecheng hanged themselves from the same tree, dying in the exact same way.

Liu Guangfu disappeared right under the noses of two policemen and hanged himself the next day.

The stalk flew out and smashed against the wall.

An elderly deaf woman fell into a latrine and drowned...

Each and every one of them exudes an inexplicable eeriness.

Qin Ming was not without his doubts.

He simply forced himself not to think about that absurd possibility.

But now...

Looking into their terrified eyes, listening to their humble pleas...

"That's enough, that's enough."

Qin Ming sighed and waved his hand, "It's nothing serious, it's just that the two kids are moving to a different place."

He paused, then nodded: "Okay, you guys pack your things and head to the hotel. As for Lin Tian and his sister... I'll make some new arrangements."

"Thank you, Captain Qin! Thank you!" Yi Zhonghai thanked him repeatedly, feeling a huge weight lifted from his heart.

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, saying, "Thank you, thank you Captain Qin..."

Everyone expressed their gratitude and watched Qin Ming walk towards the backyard.

Once Qin Ming's figure disappeared from the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai immediately closed the door and lowered his voice: "Quick! Pack your things, this is a good opportunity."

"Uncle, what do you mean...?" Sha Zhu scratched his head.

"We're staying in a hotel, and Lin Tian and his sister are being arranged separately. Isn't that more convenient for us to move around?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were sinister. "Without the police watching, those two 'variables' are gone..."

Yan Bugui also realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yes! Old Yi is right! This is a golden opportunity!"

Qin Huairu, holding Xiao Dang, asked softly, "Grandpa, when do we make our move?"

"tonight!"

Yi Zhonghai said firmly, "Once we're settled, we'll go to the police station, get our things, and then go to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning."

"Alright!" Sha Zhu rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "For Sister Qin! I'll give it my all!"

Everyone hurriedly packed their things, feeling both fear and a faint sense of excitement.

Get out of this awful place...

Implementation plan...

Suppressing the great evil...

Live!

……

The Lin family's side room in the backyard.

Officer Han was sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), telling Tangtang a children's story.

Her voice was gentle, and her expressions were vivid. Tangtang listened intently, blinking her big eyes.

Lin Tian sat to the side, listening quietly.

The three of them got along surprisingly well and happily.

The death of the deaf old woman did not seem to bring much sadness or fear to this small space.

Perhaps it's because the old lady herself wasn't a good person.

"Later, both Little Sugar and Little Tian were rescued by the police, and the bad guy was beaten to death..."

After telling the last sentence, Xiao Han patted Tangtang's head and said, "The story is over."

"Sister's storytelling is so beautiful," Tangtang said in her childish voice.

Xiao Han smiled and was about to speak when the door was pushed open.

Qin Ming walked in, his expression grave.

"Captain Qin?" Xiao Han stood up.

"Xiao Han, we can't stay in the yard anymore."

Qin Ming said directly, "The murderer might still be nearby. It's too dangerous. In a little while, you take Lin Tian and his sister to the duty dormitory at the station. We'll deal with it for a few nights until the murderer is arrested, then we can come back."

"Okay, Captain Qin!"

Xiao Han nodded immediately, then turned to Lin Tian, ​​"Xiao Tian, ​​Tangtang, let's pack our things and find somewhere else to stay."

Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat.

Should we change locations?

Leaving the courtyard house?

Are all the birds also...?

But he remained outwardly calm and obediently nodded, "Okay, Sister Han."

He got up and took out a few pieces of clothing from the broken cabinet. They were all old clothes belonging to the original owner and Tangtang, faded from washing, but still relatively clean.

"That's all," Lin Tian said.

Tangtang opened her arms wide and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother, I want a hug..."

Little Han smiled and squatted down: "Brother can't carry you, how about sister carries you instead?"

Tangtang looked at her brother, then at Xiao Han, nodded, and stretched out her little hand.

Xiao Han picked up Tangtang and looked at Lin Tian: "Let's go."

The three of them walked out of the west wing.

Inside the courtyard, other families were also packing their belongings, preparing to evacuate.

Yi Zhonghai and his group were pulling a cart piled with bedding and clothes.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Lin Tian and his sister come out, he glanced at them with a complicated expression before quickly looking away.

Qin Huairu held Xiaodang in her arms, her head down, not daring to look at Lin Tian.

Sha Zhu casually greeted them tentatively, "Lin Tian, ​​you guys are coming too? Where are you going?"

"Go to the duty room at the police station." Lin Tian nodded, without saying anything more.

Qin Ming walked over and said to Xiao Han, "You guys take my car. I'll take you to the station and then come back to arrange things for the others."

"Okay." Xiao Han nodded.

Qin Ming's jeep was parked outside the yard.

Xiao Han carried Tangtang into the back seat, while Lin Tian sat in the passenger seat.

The car started and slowly drove out of the alley.

Lin Tian looked through the car window at the courtyard house gradually disappearing into the distance, his eyes cold.

Yi Zhonghai watched them leave with a sinister look in his eyes. "Shazhu, Lao Yan, let's go."
