Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

After prying open the window, Banggeng didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he felt strangely excited, and an unnatural blush appeared on his face.

At this moment, Banggeng felt extremely comfortable in his heart. He had found what he was really good at. He, Banggeng, was born for the career of stealing.

Without indulging in this feeling, Banggeng pushed himself up with his hands, turned over and climbed in through the window.

However, since it was the first time I did this, there was still some noise when I landed.

Fortunately, no one in Shazhu's family was awakened, which made Banggeng feel relieved and he boldly looked for food in the kitchen.

Soon, with his excellent sense of smell, Banggeng successfully found some leftover chicken from the He family in a cabinet.

After digging around, he was very disappointed to find no stick of the chicken butt. So when he ate the meat, he bit it hard, as if to vent his resentment.

In less than two minutes, all the chicken was eaten up by Bang Geng, and some of them didn't even have bones left.

After eating all these, it was not enough, Banggeng searched everywhere again.

He actually found some white flour buns, which made Banggeng very happy. He hadn't eaten white flour buns for a long time.

He licked his lips, opened his mouth wide, and bit into it. It was a little cold and hard, but it was a white flour bun. A white flour bun that didn't sting at all.

Banggeng quickly finished one and was about to pick up the second one to continue eating when he suddenly burped.

He is only a child of about ten years old now. He has already eaten dinner. With such a big white steamed bun, he must be very full, even a little bloated.

After touching his stomach, Banggeng felt very satisfied. This was the best meal he had had in the past two years, with meat and white flour buns.

"In the past, only the landlords could eat this. Now that I can eat the stalks, I am a landlord too."

After a while, Banggeng took a few steamed buns and climbed out of the window.

On this night, the famous story of the Siheyuan thief's stick was officially born!

……

On September 10th, Sha Zhu, who had defeated Xu Damao in a wrestling match in his dream, opened his eyes.

"Xu Damao, just wait for me. This time I want to let everyone in the factory know that you, Xu Damao, will only be defeated by me." A surging fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, and Sha Zhu unconsciously clenched his fists.

This will be the most important battle in his and Xu Damao's lives, and it is a battle that can only be won and not lost.

In order to have a good start to the game, Sha Zhu decided to cook a good meal and reward himself.

After washing up, he opened the kitchen door. His expression froze instantly as he saw the mess on the floor. It was like a ghost had entered the village, and the place was completely destroyed.

Of course, the main thing was food, and everything else was intact.

"There's a thief! Dad, come out and take a look."

Sha Zhu screamed, how could he not see that his house had been ransacked.

When He Daqing heard the sound, he ran over immediately. After seeing the messy kitchen, his expression became subtle.

He was not stupid. Decades of life experience and the scene before him told him that this thief must have just entered the business and had only come here to steal some food.

Just looking at the few fallen white flour buns, He Daqing and his son felt a little distressed.

Even when He Daqing came back, they didn't say they would eat white flour buns every day. These buns were specially provided for Yang Shufen and He Yushui.

Some other dishes were also ruined beyond recognition.

"You damn thief, I'm going to kill you." Sha Zhu uttered a harsh voice. He was really angry. How could you waste food like this?

Jiang Fan stood in the yard and looked up at the situation in Sha Zhu's house. He immediately understood that this was probably Bang Geng's trick.

It's just that in the plot, although Bang Geng has the ability to pick doors and locks, that was taught to him by Sha Zhu. Now Sha Zhu doesn't even know how to teach him these things, where did he learn them from?

As for whether it was someone else who did it, Jiang Fan thought it was impossible. Besides a little bastard like Bang Geng, what thief would waste food?

If an adult came to steal something from the He family, their first choice would not be food, but the He family's money. Even if they really came for food, why would they leave behind a few steamed buns?

Turning his head to look towards the Jia family, Bang Geng was grinning with half of his head sticking out from under the window.

"Why is there another thief here? Why is our courtyard always targeted by thieves? Before, one came to steal Yi Zhonghai's money, and later there was a thief like Liu Guangtian, and now there's another one. Is there something hidden in this courtyard?"

"It's hard to say. Look at how the dishes have been ruined. It's really a sin."

"This thief is really a piece of shit. You said you were hungry and ate something, but why did you waste food?"

Everyone felt sorry for what happened to the He family, but more people were glad that the thief did not come into their home.

However, this also reminded them that sometimes thieves target not only money but also food.

When Yang Shufen learned about this, she burst into tears. She was the one who cared most about food in the family, not only that all the good things were given to her.

More importantly, her parents died of starvation.

She didn't even know when she starved to death. If He Daqing hadn't come back and given her the confidence to go back and take a look, she wouldn't have known such a big thing had happened at home.

Her sister had married a long time ago and no one knew where she went. Now only she and Yang Ergou were left in their family.

Chapter 469: Bang Geng is free from guilt

Yang Shufen was not going to let the thief go, and told Sha Zhu that she was going to report him to the police and have them arrest him. He must not be let off.

Sha Zhu has the same mentality. Damn it, he stole something and it happened to Grandpa Zhu. Only his uncle can tolerate it, but his aunt can't!

He didn't even have breakfast and went out to report to the police.

"Silly Zhu, where are you going?"

"If there's a burglary at home, of course we should report it to the police." Sha Zhu walked out without even looking back.

This scared Banggeng so much that his face turned pale. Now he began to reflect on whether he had left any evidence and whether he had left anything behind.

What if I was found to have done it? Would they arrest me and deprive me of food?

At this moment, Banggeng was really scared.

He thought of what others had said before: if there was a thief in the yard, the police would come to search the neighbors' homes. This immediately made him think of the steamed buns he brought back.

If this is discovered, he won't be able to explain it clearly.

"No, I have to hide the buns quickly. No one can find them."

Banggeng jumped off the bed and just as he was about to take action, he saw Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu coming back from outside.

Now he has no chance.

Banggeng was eating breakfast absentmindedly, and Jia Dongxu noticed something.

"Bang Geng, why are you looking outside instead of eating properly?"

"Ah. Didn't Sha Zhu report it to the police? I just want to see how they investigate cases. I want to be a police officer in the future."

Banggeng suddenly had an idea and said something that surprised Jia Dongxu.

Although he knew that the child's words were all impulsive, he still looked at Bang Geng with great satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's good to have such ambition."

Seeing that he had fooled the fool, Banggen breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his normal eating state, but he ate a little less than usual.

However, it did not attract the attention of Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu. Only Jia Zhang glanced at Banggeng, put down her chopsticks, poured herself a bowl of hot water and went into the house.

Others didn't care about her and let her do whatever she wanted.

After a while, Sha Zhu returned to the yard with two police officers.

For the police, this kind of case where a thief breaks into a house and steals items of low value is a normal case.

Things like Yi Zhonghai losing more than 2,000 yuan are extremely rare in Beijing in the past ten years.

When the police arrived, they first asked about the specific situation. When they learned that the He family had not yet entered the scene, they nodded in relief.

With current crime-solving technology, many cases cannot be solved because the first scene is destroyed, which will result in the loss of many key clues and seriously affect the case-solving work.

Two police officers put on gloves and went in to search for clues. Generally speaking, in this type of case, the main thing is to look for footprints.

They did find some footprints, but what puzzled them was that they were very small.

Then they found signs that the lock on the window had been pried open again. Combined with some other clues, they initially concluded that the thief might be a child of twelve or thirteen years old, or a dwarf.

"Comrade Public Security, you said the thief might be a child, so is it possible that he is a child in our yard?" He Daqing asked after listening to the public security's analysis.

"While this possibility is not ruled out, does Comrade He Daqing have any suspects?"

"Well, I suspect it was that idiot from the Jia family next door who stole it."

The two police officers exchanged a glance. "Comrade He Daqing, do you have any evidence to prove that Bang Geng stole it? We can't investigate him based on your words."

He Daqing shook his head, "I don't have any evidence, but I believe it was his own idea to come here and steal things, and his family was unaware of it.

The steamed buns he took should still be at home. If they can be found, they are most likely his. They haven't been steaming buns at home recently."

Theoretically speaking, with the footprint rubbing, it is indeed possible to identify the suspect based on footprint comparison, but the two police officers are more inclined to believe that the thief is a dwarf rather than a child.

This is also human nature, but now that the victim has such a reasonable request, they cannot refuse.

After comparing the footprints left at the scene, Sha Zhu brought two police officers directly to the Jia family.

After explaining his purpose, Jia Dongxu was very angry. He looked at Sha Zhu angrily.

"Silly Zhu, if it wasn't our Bang Geng who did what happened today, you have to give me an explanation!"

Faced with Jia Dongxu's questioning, Sha Zhu felt a little unsure. He didn't believe that it was Bang Geng who did it. After all, the police said that the thief was very skilled in picking locks.

You know, Sha Zhu can pick locks himself, but the locks he knows how to pick are the old-fashioned ones, like the ones used in courtyard houses now. He doesn't have the ability to pick the locks open.

Not to mention that Banggeng is just a kid in his teens, how could he have such skills?

"Brother Dongxu, I'm not suspecting your Bang Geng. The main reason is that the footprints left by the thief are those of a child, so I want to compare them with the children in the yard. It's not targeting your Bang Geng."

Sha Zhu laughed dryly and said, "I watched Bang Geng grow up, even though he was a bit naughty. I believe he wouldn't do something like this."

Jia Dongxu's expression looked better now. He was afraid that they would come to his house just to find some jokes to compare. If this got out, how would he face people?

Fortunately, the comparison is done in the yard.

After making way, the police found Bang Geng with the rubbing and asked him to step on the paper so that they could compare them.

Banggeng was extremely panicked. He never expected that the police would find him so quickly.

Looking at the familiar footprints, Bang Geng's heart was in his throat.

He carefully lifted his foot and printed it on the paper, not daring to look at the result.

"Little boy, you can lift your feet now."

Seeing that Bang Geng seemed to be fixed there, a police officer gently said that it was inevitable for children to be nervous when encountering such things.

After Banggeng took his feet away, the police picked up the paper, but found that the sizes were not the same. Banggeng's footprints were slightly larger than the footprints on the rubbing.

The two men looked at each other and searched the Jia family's house briefly, but did not find the steamed buns.

The suspicion of Banggen was initially ruled out.

"Brother Dongxu, I'm really sorry. There's nothing I can do about it." Sha Zhu apologized to Jia Dongxu.

"Sha Zhu, you said before that you didn't believe Bang Geng would do such a thing, otherwise I would have fought you today." Jia Dongxu had a tough attitude. After Sha Zhu left, he turned his head and squinted in the direction of the He family, and went out to work after a while.

Banggeng at home sat on the ground as if relieved, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead almost instantly. He was really scared to death just now.

Only then did he realize that the shoes he was wearing were not the same pair he wore yesterday.

Chapter 470: Opening of the Sports Meet

After seeing the police leave, Banggeng hurried to look for the steamed buns he had stolen.

But he found that there was not even a scrap of steamed bun left. This made Bang Geng feel like he was struck by lightning. "Is there another expert at home?"

His eyes rolled around and Banggeng locked onto his target, Jia Zhang!

She is the only one in the family who would do such a thing.

I have to say that Banggeng's guess was very accurate. Early in the morning, Jia Zhang discovered that something was wrong with Banggeng. On weekdays, Banggeng was the most active one when it came to eating. Even if the food was bad, he would still be the most active.

Banggeng's behavior this morning was obviously not right, especially after Shazhu went to report to the police. Jia Zhang became cautious and searched quietly.

This search was incredible. Jia Zhang found several big white steamed buns. She immediately realized that the little thief from the He family last night was her good grandson Bang Geng.

She couldn't help but sigh that Banggeng was indeed her grandson, and petty theft was ingrained in his nature.
