Chapter 125 Yi Zhonghai, what qualifications do you have to search
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu discussed a plan to frame Li Yang, and returned to the courtyard chatting and laughing all the way.
The early spring sunshine sprinkled on the few people, giving people a warm feeling, but Yi Zhonghai felt a chill in his heart. He looked around, fearing that the plan would leak out.
"Dongxu? Are you sure you put the things away?" Yi Zhonghai approached Jia Dongxu and asked in a low voice.
"Master, you can rest assured. My wife is very decisive in doing things!" Jia Dongxu said with a grin, his eyes rolling around.
As he was speaking, he saw Qin Huairu winking at him, indicating that everything had been arranged.
Yi Zhonghai caught a glimpse of that look and felt relieved, thinking that the show was about to begin. He winked at Jia Dongxu, and the few of them immediately dispersed and returned to their respective courtyards.
After a while, there was a noise coming from the yard.
"Oh no, oh no! Someone come quickly!" Qin Huairu screamed in a shrill voice, with a hint of panic in her voice, "The pants I just washed are gone!"
This shout immediately attracted a lot of people. The third uncle Yan Bugui was the first to run out, looking panic-stricken.
"Huai Ru, what did you say? Your underpants are lost?" Yan Bugui's eyes widened, as if he had heard something extraordinary.
"That's right. I washed it this morning and hung it in the yard, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. It must have been stolen!" Qin Huairu said anxiously.
Someone rushed over after hearing the news and found out that it was Jia Zhang's underpants that were missing, and they were immediately in an uproar.
"Oh my God, what's wrong with this world? They even didn't let go of the aunties' underpants. They are so heartless!" Several aunties covered their mouths and exclaimed, their expressions filled with righteous indignation as if they wanted to drag the thief out and cut him into pieces.
"That's right, this thief is so wicked! What's the purpose of stealing the pants of such an old person? Is he greedy for her body?" Someone said in a sarcastic tone, with contempt for the thief in his words.
For a while, there were many different opinions and endless discussions.
Someone even joked: "I don't know if that thief is really hungry or just too daring. Anyway, his pants are probably more fishy than a slaughtered pig!"
There was a burst of laughter all around, but some people also sighed and shook their heads.
Yi Zhonghai saw that almost everyone had arrived, so he stood up with a dignified look on his face and said loudly:
"Stop yelling! The most urgent thing right now is to catch the thief and bring justice to Grandma Jia!"
He looked around and said earnestly: "Think about it, everyone. Our courtyard has always been famous for its upright atmosphere and honest folk customs. We can't let such crooked things ruin our reputation! This behavior of touching pants is clearly a moral decline. People's hearts are not as good as they used to be. To put it bluntly, it's just hooliganism! If we don't punish them severely, what will happen?"
Yan Bugui echoed loudly: "The uncle is right! If this gets out, how can our courtyard hold our heads up in front of our neighbors? We have to catch this thief!"
The people around were furious and clamored to catch the thief.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly struck while the iron was hot and said loudly: "In my opinion, we should first find out whether it was done by someone in the hospital or an outsider."
He turned to the neighbors in the front yard and asked, "Did anyone outside enter or leave our courtyard this morning?"
Without waiting for others to answer, Yan Bugui said first: "No! I sat at the door all day and didn't see many strangers!"
Others also nodded, indicating that they had not seen any outsiders enter the compound.
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened when he heard this: "Since it's not an outsider, it must have been done by someone in our yard!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed at once, and they looked at each other in panic.
Yi Zhonghai sneered secretly.
He cleared his throat and spoke forcefully: "Instead of talking about these useless things, why don't we all search every house together? If I find the thief, I will make him pay for it!"
Yan Bugui was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "This is a good idea! Let's do as you say, and we will search separately. Are you afraid that we won't be able to find that shameless guy?"
"Let's start in the backyard!"
Just like that, under the leadership of Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, they marched towards the backyard in a mighty manner.
When they arrived at Li Yang's residence, Yi Zhonghai gave a wink and Liu Haizhong went forward and knocked hard on the door.
The loud "bang bang bang" sounds immediately alarmed Li Yang who was in the house. He took two steps at a time and reached the door.
Before I opened the door, I heard a loud voice outside shouting: "Li Yang, something's wrong, come out quickly!"
Li Yang frowned slightly and opened the door. He saw that the yard was crowded with people, and every face was filled with curiosity and ill intentions.
Yi Zhonghai stood at the front, with his arms folded across his chest, looking at Li Yang with a haughty expression, his eyes full of pride and contempt.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were also in the crowd, with meaningful smiles on their faces.
Jia Dongxu and his wife were staring at Li Yang with a look of gloating, as if they wanted to eat him up.
Seeing this, Li Yang immediately understood.
He looked around and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? What's going on?"
Yi Zhonghai stood at the front, with his arms folded across his chest, looking arrogant. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone listen, a pair of pants from the Jia family disappeared today, it must have been done by someone in our yard! To give everyone justice, I suggest that we search every household and find the dirty thief! Let's start with your house"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became furious. Some cheered loudly, some waved their fists angrily, and they couldn't wait to rush into the house and search it thoroughly.
Li Yang watched coldly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said slowly: "Wait a minute!"
With a sharp gaze, he slowly looked around the crowd and said calmly, "Yi Zhonghai, what right do you have to lead a search? You are just a mediator appointed by the street office. How can you have the power to break into private houses? What's more, you are no longer a mediator."
Yi Zhonghai was stunned when he heard this, then he said with a gloomy face: "What's the matter? Are you feeling guilty? Do you dare not take responsibility for what you did?"
This kid actually dared to say that he was not qualified. This is outrageous.
He pointed at Li Yang and shouted to the neighbors: "Look at this kid's face, he's trying to cover up something, it's obvious that he's guilty! If he had a clear conscience, why would he be afraid of a search?"
There was a sudden chorus of agreement in the crowd, and many people looked at Li Yang with suspicion and whispered to each other.
"That's right, if they don't allow the search, there must be something fishy going on!"
"Maybe he's really hiding in the house!"
"A thief is a thief, his face is thicker than a city wall!"
Facing the accusations from everyone, Li Yang just smiled faintly and said calmly: "My dear neighbors, I am a decent person, so why should I be afraid of a search? But this search must have rules. If anyone can enter the house at will, what is the use of the law?"
He looked directly at Yi Zhonghai and said word by word: "If you suspect me, you can go to the street office to explain the situation and let the comrades from the Public Security Bureau handle the case. You brought people to search without authorization, which is tantamount to trespassing. You must bear legal responsibility!"
These words made Yi Zhonghai's face turn pale and he trembled with anger.
Seeing this, Liu Haizhong at the side immediately took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Old Yi, why are you arguing with him? Why should we bother with such a person! How about this, let me go and invite the leaders of the street office in broad daylight, and let them judge justice. Let's see what this kid can say!"
Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
I thought to myself, when the Public Security Bureau and the Street Office come, Li Yang will not be able to argue anymore. By then, the evidence is irrefutable and he will be ruined!
