Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

What Ye Jianchuan found even more unbelievable was that the factory manager of the clothing factory discovered the warehouse theft early this morning.

In other words, the group of guys Ye Jianchuan saw in the early hours of this morning had just finished stealing that batch of quilts when the clothing factory manager discovered that the warehouse had been robbed.

In other words, even without Ye Jianchuan's 'adventure' and deduction, it was only a matter of time before these guys were caught.

Since they didn't even mention the police report, there's a high probability these guys will go and steal again. That'll be the time to catch them red-handed and bring them all to justice.

However, now that we have the information provided by Ye Jianchuan, things are much simpler. We can just have Ye Jianchuan take us to that courtyard and arrest the old man, and that will be the end of it.

Then, by interrogating the old man briefly and investigating his social connections, we can basically pinpoint the 'insiders' in the clothing factory.

Even if the old man is incorrigible and refuses to reveal his accomplices, it doesn't really matter. A little investigation of the people he knows who work in the clothing factory will solve the problem.

For Captain Long and his team at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, this kind of follow-the-leader work was incredibly easy!

So after Captain Long brought Ye Jianchuan to the Municipal Bureau, they quickly gathered some people, changed into civilian clothes, and then, led by Ye Jianchuan, headed directly towards the small courtyard from yesterday.

Upon arriving at the small courtyard, Ye Jianchuan merely pointed out which courtyard it was from a distance, and then... nothing more.

The rest can be left to Captain Long and the people from the Municipal Bureau.

This time, Ye Jianchuan became a complete bystander, witnessing the arrest operation. When he saw the old man he recognized being dragged out, Ye Jianchuan couldn't help but sigh.

Last night I was still struggling with how to deal with the information I had unexpectedly obtained, but unexpectedly today the solution came to me on its own!

But this is for the best. At least Ye Jianchuan doesn't have to risk his life or struggle with what to choose.

After apprehending the old man who was selling the quilts, the city police immediately began the interrogation process. At first, the old man was glib and claimed that he had bought all the quilts himself.

Later, seeing that he could no longer deny it, he started playing dead again. It wasn't until Captain Long read out the names of several workers from the clothing factory who were familiar with him that he finally admitted defeat.

After the old man finished speaking, the clothing factory immediately took action and arrested all the suspects. Thus, the theft from the clothing factory warehouse finally came to an end.

Ye Jianchuan followed Long Dui around for an entire afternoon, missing even lunch. But as soon as the 2.5 results came out, Ye Jianchuan was immediately discarded after being used.

"Alright! Xiao Ye, thank you for your cooperation and help this time. However, after a brief discussion, our bureau leaders have decided that we cannot commend you for your actions."

This time, the situation is different from the time you caught the human traffickers. This time, you went to the ghost market to buy things.

Although this was mostly tolerated, it was still a violation of regulations, so the higher-ups decided that your merits and demerits canceled each other out, and you would not be commended.

After saying this, Captain Long looked at Ye Jianchuan, who was dumbfounded. Could this be? He had helped solve a major case! And yet, his merits and demerits were offset, and he received no commendation?

Chapter 110 The house issue is settled

(It's really frustrating. Chapter 106 has quite a few problems. The review team went through several rounds of revisions with me. By the time I finished the last revision, it was already 7 PM, and they had already closed for the day... Looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow to release it.)

Seeing Ye Jianchuan's expression, Captain Long laughed, "Hahaha, Little Ye, don't be too indignant. It's true that it's not easy for him to publicize his trip to the Ghost Market."

So there definitely won't be any official awards or commendation ceremonies, but we will still give you some tangible rewards in private.

The municipal bureau applied for a 100 yuan reward for you. It's not a huge amount, but it should calm you down, right?

When Ye Jianchuan heard that he would receive money later, he immediately stopped being angry. After all, in Ye Jianchuan's view, whether or not he received an award made little difference to him.

After all, given my age, even if I make new contributions, it's unlikely that I'll be promoted further. Since there's no chance of a change in my position, any commendation is just a gimmick and not that important.

On the contrary, this cash reward is very useful to Ye Jianchuan, since he wants to save up some money to buy a house!

To Ye Jianchuan's surprise, the team leader spoke up again, saying, "Besides the Municipal Bureau, the clothing factory will also receive a bonus, but you probably won't receive it for a few days."

Ye Jianchuan nodded, then pointed towards the interrogation room. "Uncle Long, may I ask how long these guys will be sentenced to?"

Captain Long was silent for a moment, then said, "Because the impact of this incident is actually very bad, and they planned to steal public property in large quantities."

So even if they don't eat peanuts, it will be very difficult for them to get out again in this lifetime!

Ye Jianchuan nodded, then prepared to say goodbye and leave, since there was nothing more for him to do here.

However, just as Ye Jianchuan was about to speak, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he immediately asked.

"By the way, Uncle Long, did this old man buy the courtyard we visited today, or did he rent it?"

Captain Long frowned. "Why are you asking this? What's wrong? Are you not comfortable living in your courtyard house and want to move somewhere else?"

Ye Jianchuan waved his hand and said, "Hehe, I was just asking. I have a neighbor who got divorced. She doesn't want to move back home, so she's still living in our courtyard house for the time being."

But as you know, her husband is also a resident of the courtyard house, so they inevitably run into each other, which is quite awkward. Therefore, she wants to move out.

I thought that courtyard seemed quite quiet, and it wasn't too big, just right for one or two people, so I thought I'd help ask around.

Captain Long didn't delve into it further. After thinking for a moment, he said, "That house seems to be the old man's own property."

However, it was probably bought with embezzled funds, so the house will likely be confiscated in the end.

When the government takes these kinds of items, they usually just sell them off. So if your friend really wants to buy them, they can keep an eye out for them and see if they can get their hands on them.

Ye Jianchuan nodded, then continued to ask, "Hey, Uncle Long, what was the final government valuation of this house? Could you tell me?"

Captain Long was really stumped this time. In the end, he went back to ask the colleague who handled the relevant matters before giving Ye Jianchuan a figure: 1,500 yuan.

This number is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for Ye Jianchuan. It is definitely impossible for him to come up with 1,500 yuan in a short period of time.

However... this doesn't mean Ye Jianchuan has no chance of buying this house. After all, it's still very rare to find a place where the entire yard is sold!

Ye Jianchuan didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he needed to carefully consider how to buy the courtyard!

After saying goodbye to Captain Long, Ye Jianchuan left the Municipal Bureau and rode his bicycle back to the compound. Since he had 'left work early' again, Ye Jianchuan started to ponder things on his own after returning home.

Soon, Ye Jianchuan turned his attention to Lou Xiao'e. This sum of 1,500 yuan was indeed a huge amount for him, but for the Lou family, it was just a drop in the ocean.

So if we could persuade Lou Xiao'e to buy this house as well, that would be the best outcome. However, Lou Xiao'e is now living in the Intermediate People's Court, so this plan is obviously not going to be easy.

So... could we shift our focus from Lou Xiao'e to the entire Lou family? After all, Lou Xiao'e's money came from the Lou family, or rather, from her father, Director Lou.

In addition, it's already December, and after the New Year it will be 66. From this year onwards, those arduous ten years will begin.

This might not have a huge impact on Ye Jianchuan, but for the Lou family, it was a devastating blow!

Therefore, if this information could be used to gain Chairman Lou's trust, then persuading them to buy the courtyard would seem like a logical step.

After figuring out the general direction, Ye Jianchuan suddenly thought of another problem: he had promised to help Lou Xiao'e get her dowry back.

　147 It's been a whole week and I still haven't made a move. It's a bit embarrassing.

However, this is also an opportunity. If he can get back Lou Xiao'e's dowry, Lou Xiao'e's trust in him will definitely increase.

I'll have Lou Xiao'e take me to meet Director Lou, and then I'll tell him about next year's plans. That way, Director Lou will have a better chance of trusting me.

Just then, Uncle San, who had just returned from get off work, came to the door.

"Jianchuan, I heard from your third aunt that you came home from get off work quite early today? I came over here to chat with you!"

Although Ye Jianchuan was a little confused and didn't know what Third Uncle wanted to talk to him about, he still nodded and invited Third Uncle in.

"Teacher Yan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Uncle San rubbed his hands together and then said, "Jianchuan, I know you and Shazhu are quite close. A relative of mine is getting married next week and wants to hire a chef to cook for them."

"Could you please call Sha Zhu over to help me out?"

Ye Jianchuan raised an eyebrow. "Do I really need to go? You can just tell him, right? It's a good thing for Sha Zhu to get some freelance work, so what are you worried about?"

Chapter 111 The Stingy Third Uncle

Ye Jianchuan didn't understand what Third Uncle meant, so he was a little confused. Did he really need to get involved in this kind of thing?

Uncle San quickly waved his hand and said, "Hehe, I've asked Sha Zhu before, but he wasn't willing to help!"

Seeing Uncle San's awkward appearance, Ye Jianchuan immediately thought of a possibility and asked, "Teacher Yan, you don't mean you want to ask Sha Zhu for help again, but you're unwilling to pay for it?"

Uncle San laughed awkwardly without saying a word. Ye Jianchuan was even more speechless. After all this time, he just wanted Sha Zhu to work for free!

So Ye Jianchuan also complained, "Teacher Yan, I'm telling you, you can't be this stingy sometimes. That Sha Zhu guy is the kind of person who only responds to gentle persuasion and not force!"

If you speak to him politely, even if the price is slightly lower, I think Sha Zhu will agree. But if you ask for nothing and don't offer anything in return, he definitely won't be happy!

The embarrassment on Uncle San's face deepened. Ye Jianchuan knew that his teacher was also a person who cared about his reputation, so he immediately changed the subject.

"Here's what we'll do, Uncle San. I'll think of a way for you. Since you don't want to spend any money, you should at least promise Sha Zhu some benefits!"

Look at Sha Zhu, he has no worries about food or drink now, what does he lack most right now?

Uncle San reacted quickly: "Is Sha Zhu stupid?"

Ye Jianchuan immediately rolled his eyes. "He's not exactly a genius, is he? Well, he is, but can you really fix that for him? What he lacks is a wife!!!"

Uncle San immediately realized, "That's right, he needs a wife! Then I'll go tell him that if he helps me cook a meal, I'll introduce him to a wife!"

Ye Jianchuan nodded. "That's right, Sha Zhu will definitely agree!"

To Ye Jianchuan's surprise, Third Uncle added, "Anyway, I won't tell Shazhu exactly when I'll introduce him to someone."

"If we stall him for a month or two, we might be able to get something else from him!"

Ye Jianchuan was really getting fed up. He looked at Third Uncle with a dark face and said, "Teacher Yan, so you still want to scheme against others and take advantage of Sha Zhu, right?"

Why don't you just honestly introduce him to someone? If it works out, the other person will appreciate it!

If you keep dragging this out and keep taking advantage of Sha Zhu, and then you don't even introduce him to anyone, won't you end up becoming enemies?

After hearing Ye Jianchuan's words, Uncle San lowered his head in embarrassment once again. "Jianchuan, you know that Teacher Yan's family is in a difficult situation."

If I hadn't been careful with my finances, my family of so many people would probably have starved to death long ago!

Although my living conditions are slightly better than before, I've gotten used to it, and I can't change it even if I wanted to.

Ye Jianchuan shook his head helplessly, then said, "How about this? I heard that there is a female teacher in your school surnamed Ran, and she should be about the same age as Sha Zhu!"

Go tell Shazhu to introduce Teacher Ran to him. Whether it works out or not, you should at least let them meet.

"Don't delay in making introductions; just introduce them to the right people. After it's all over, I'll give you some private compensation. So don't even think about scheming against Sha Zhu, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle San immediately nodded and said, "Okay! Now that you mention it, Teacher Ran really is not much older than Sha Zhu."

But Xiao Ye, why are you siding with Sha Zhu so much? Could it be... that you and Yu Shui are really together?

Almost everyone in the compound knew that He Yushui liked Ye Jianchuan, mainly because every time He Yushui came back, she would always go to Ye Jianchuan's room.

Add to that Sha Zhu's big mouth, who never bothered to tease He Yushui, and everyone in the hospital knew that He Yushui had feelings for Ye Jianchuan.
