Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 630 Reminder again
When he reached the intersection, Wang Zhan saw a person standing at the door of his house. Wang Zhan looked carefully and he didn't recognize the person. Wang Zhan stopped and looked at the person. He Yushui and Wang Li also saw him, but they didn't recognize the person either. The three of them did not go home, but stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at the person.

This was a young man in his twenties, dressed in ordinary clothes, apparently like a worker. He stood there for a while, looking around. He also saw Wang Zhan and the other two standing at the entrance of the alley. He thought they were children from the neighborhood, so he took a quick look at them and paid no more attention to them.

Wang Zhan thought about it and decided that this was not a solution, so he walked over alone and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The young man was stunned and asked, "Do you live here?"

Wang Zhan nodded, and the young man said, "I was asked to come by Sister Wang from the Military Control Commission. She asked me to deliver a letter to you, saying it was forwarded by your master."

Then he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan took the letter and was a little skeptical because he had never seen his master write a letter, but he still said thank you. The young man was about to turn around and leave, and Wang Zhan asked, "What's your name?"

"No need to bother with my surname Xing and my single character Fan. My task is completed and I'm leaving first." After the young man said this, he walked quickly to the other side of the alley.

Wang Zhan waved to He Yushui and his sister, and then said, "You guys go home first and lock the door. Don't open it no matter who calls you. I'm going to the Military Control Committee."

He Yushui nodded, took Wang Zhan's schoolbag and lunch box, opened the door with Wang Li and entered the yard. Wang Zhan walked towards the Military Control Commission from the other side.

Not long after, he arrived at Sister Wang's office. When Sister Wang saw that it was Wang Zhan, she stood up and said with a smile: "What brings you here? Come and sit down."

After Wang Zhan sat down, he asked directly: "Aunt Wang, do you know someone named Xing Fan?"

Sister Wang was stunned when she heard this and said, "I don't know him, what's wrong?"

Wang Zhan thought for a moment, then asked, "Did you ask someone to forward a letter to me today?"

Sister Wang shook her head and said, "No."

Wang Zhan knew that the matter was a bit serious, so he recounted what happened after school and gave a detailed description of the appearance and clothing of the man who called himself Xing Fan.

Sister Wang also realized that there was something fishy going on and asked, "Where's the letter?"

"It's here with me." Wang Zhan put the letter on the table and said, "Aunt Wang, please don't open it. What if it's poisonous? You should report it to the Public Security Committee."

Sister Wang didn't dare to touch the letter, so she said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go get someone."

After a while, Captain Li came over with a few people. Wearing gloves, he carefully put the letter into a sealed bag, handed it to the person behind him and said, "Send it to the Inspection Department of the Third Bureau."

The man took the sealed bag and left. Captain Li sat down opposite Wang Zhan and asked, "Wang Zhan, can you describe the messenger's appearance again?"

Wang Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Give me a piece of white paper and a pencil, and I'll draw it."

Captain Li was stunned and said, "You can also draw, so hurry up."

After a while, Wang Zhan drew Xing Fan, who looked exactly like the real person. Captain Li took a look and said to himself, "Why does he look so familiar?"

The people nearby gathered around and looked carefully for a while. One of them suddenly realized and said, "Isn't this Wen San from Qianmen? It's just that he usually wears a gown and walks around with a bird cage. He suddenly changed into work clothes, so I really didn't recognize him at first."

Captain Li took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Wen San, so he said, "Go find him and bring him back to me."

Then he turned to Wang Zhan and said, "You go home first. I'll inform you if there's any news. Isn't your sister still at home? Don't let anything happen." Wang Zhan nodded, walked out of the house, and walked quickly towards home.

Wang Zhan hurried home and knocked on the door. He Yushui opened the door for him. Wang Zhan didn't want to make his sister worry, so he didn't say anything and went straight to the study to do his homework.

After finishing his homework, Wang Zhan went to cook. He simply fried an egg and made some plain noodles. The three of them sat in the restaurant in the front yard and ate and chatted.

When He Yushui returned home with his schoolbag, Wang Zhan had just closed the door when someone knocked on it. Wang Zhan opened the door and saw that it was Captain Li and Sister Wang. Wang Zhan took them to the reception room and made two cups of tea for them.

Captain Li took a sip and started talking, "Wang Zhan, we found Wen San. He's a street urchin. He found this letter at his doorstep this morning, along with a note and 20,000 yuan. The things were stuffed through the crack in the door. The note told him to deliver the letter and asked him to change into work clothes. The money would be his after he delivered the letter. If he didn't, someone would come after him to settle the score, so that's how things happened."

After Wang Zhan heard this, he asked, "Captain Li, can I see the note?"

Captain Li took out the note and handed it to Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan looked at it carefully and said, "This is a woman's handwriting. Moreover, this is a Shanghai woman."

Captain Li and Sister Wang were both shocked. Captain Li asked, "How did you figure that out?"

Wang Zhan said: "The handwriting is delicate and gentle, which is not something a man can write. Look at the words she crossed out, '收骨', and then changed it to '洗呢你'. '收骨' is a Shanghai dialect, which means to '洗呢你'."

Captain Li and Sister Wang suddenly realized what was going on. Wang Zhan continued, "This Shanghai woman knows Sister Wang and knows that my master is Qi Dasheng. She is also a Shanghai woman. It shouldn't be difficult to check. By the way, is there any problem with the letter?"

Captain Li nodded and said, "There is potassium cyanide in the two footers below."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "This is revenge for me. Please report this to the Third Bureau. They will probably find out who it is soon."

Captain Li said, "Why do I feel like this person is about to show up? She knows Sister Wang, and she also knows Qi Dasheng. She's a Shanghai woman, and she has a grudge against you. This is really not difficult to find out. Okay, I know. Your Aunt Wang and I will leave first. This is a big deal."

After Captain Li finished speaking, he took Sister Wang away. Yan Jiekuang closed the door. The female teacher with glasses suddenly appeared in his mind. Why did he think of her? Because that woman must be related to Shanghai. She must be from Shanghai or has lived in Shanghai. Some of that woman’s living habits are too refined, which are typical characteristics of Shanghai women.

Wang Zhan went to the backyard, and Wang Li asked, "Who's here? Is there anything wrong?"

"It's Captain Li and Aunt Wang. It's nothing. They just asked about our lives." Wang Zhan didn't want to worry his sister, so he just answered perfunctorily.

In the days that followed, the brother and sister continued to go to school as normal.

On the last holiday in May, Wang Li woke up early. Wang Zhan promised her that he would take her to Guanyuan to buy goldfish.

Wang Zhan cooked porridge in the morning, heated up two corn pancakes, fried a few eggs, and served them with pickled vegetables. This was today's breakfast. After washing up, Wang Li ran to the front yard and went straight to the table to eat. Wang Zhan quickly told her to slow down as there was still plenty of time.

After a while, He Yushui also came. After finishing breakfast with them, Wang Zhan pushed out the small tricycle and took the two of them straight to Guanyuan. When they reached Guanyuan Bridge, they turned east and entered the market. Fortunately, the tricycle was small and they could pass through it. He Yushui and Wang Li had no time to look at both sides.

There was a goldfish seller not far away. Wang Li refused to move forward. Wang Zhan asked, "Boss, how much are the goldfish?"

"Fifty yuan for one, one hundred yuan for three." the goldfish seller replied.

Wang Zhan asked, "How about three hundred yuan for ten pieces?"
