Chapter 149 Premeditated Theft
"Ahhhhh!!!"
…………
"grass,&&&&??!"
The sudden high-pitched male voice was so abrupt in the quiet night that it suddenly woke up everyone who was sleeping peacefully in the rooms in the yard.
Although the person in the yard had realized that he couldn't make any sound, he had already covered his mouth before he reacted.
But in this silent night, after that loud voice, those who should be awakened or those who should not be awakened had already been awakened.
Only then did I remember that covering my mouth was undoubtedly like trying to cover my ears and steal the bell.
Obviously, the people outside the yard also noticed that something was wrong, so they simply didn't try to hide it. Then the people in the room heard a loud "bang" and then the sound of some people running.
At this time, Guan Huijun and others in the room had already put on their coats and rushed out. They didn't care about the person who was holding his feet and screaming in pain in the yard, but just took the flashlight, picked up the wooden sticks in the yard and walked out.
The other educated youth in the house also left after hearing the noise, and went out to wait for the outcome of Guan Huijun and Wang Wenxiang who had already chased out with flashlights to check.
Xia Zhiyan also looked at the injured man at the corner of the yard. She felt no pity in her heart, only some fear.
She couldn't imagine that if there were no glass shards or wooden stakes in the yard in advance, their yard would be visited by these people tonight. Losing property would be a small matter, but if their innocence was lost, how would the female educated youth in the entire yard survive?
Xia Zhiqing, who was becoming more and more frightened the more he thought about it, looked at the two remaining male educated youths in the yard and said directly:
"You female educated youths, hide in the back. We will just stand here and wait for Guan Zhiqing and the others to come back. Don't act rashly now.
After Guan Zhiqing and the others came back, we learned about the situation outside and asked two male Zhiqing to tell the team leader about it.
After hearing this, the female educated youth silently moved closer. After all, they were all young girls. If they said they were not afraid by asking a grown man to climb over the wall in the middle of the night, they would definitely be lying.
At this moment, they were extremely grateful that there were special precautions against people in the yard, and that there were many people in the yard, not just one person living alone.
The other two male educated youth also stood beside Xia Zhiqing, closely protecting the female educated youth behind them and waiting for Xia Zhiqing and the other two to come back.
Fortunately, they didn't have to stay here in fear for long, as Guan Zhiqing and his companions came back soon.
But when he came back, his face looked sour, as if someone owed him dozens of dollars, and he was still cursing something.
When I walked back to the yard with a flashlight, I saw all the educated youth in the yard standing in a group, looking at the door vigilantly.
Guan Huijun looked at his frightened little friend, and then remembered that he saw a figure when he ran out, but no one chased him. He also saw a staircase next to the wall outside the yard, which made him even more angry.
At this moment, he angrily shone the flashlight on the injured man against the wall.
When the light shone over, the man who had been trying hard to hide his figure was immediately exposed under the light of the flashlight.
They looked at him carefully and found that this person was not from the Xiangyang Production Brigade. They thought that people from other brigades must have learned that their living conditions were okay and had evil intentions.
But they certainly don't know the actual situation of their courtyard. After all, they have dealt with several second-rate guys who have set their sights on them in the past.
Now seeing what happened to this man, I think he is not a member of our team. But then I remembered that just after Lin Zhiqiang left, this small courtyard was robbed. There must be an insider in the team, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
The more Wang Wenxiang thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth. His anger had reached its peak at this moment. Not only was he suddenly awakened from his sweet dream, but he was also upset by such a terrible thing. So he angrily said to the educated youth next to him:
"Bai Zhiqing and Lin Zhiqing, go find two thick ropes in the miscellaneous room first. Once we get them, we male Zhiqing will go tie up the man first. Then Liu Zhiqing and I will go find the team leader. Guan Zhiqing and Xia Zhiqing will stay here and keep watch."
After hearing Wang Wenxiang's arrangements, they felt that they were very reasonable, so they acted according to Wang Ziqing's arrangements.
People with more people are naturally bolder, and besides, they are always right.
So they tied up the man whose feet were still bleeding without any burden in a few seconds.
The man originally wanted to struggle, but with the combined efforts of Guan Zhiqing and another male educated youth, they tied him up tightly without any effort.
They didn't bother to pay any attention to the lonely ladder outside the wall, and just let it lean against the wall as physical evidence.
Afterwards, everyone held their breath and waited quietly for Wang Zhiqing to lead the team leader to come out.
At this moment, the captain was sleeping soundly in his warm bed with a sweet smile on his lips.
However, this peaceful and harmonious dream was rudely interrupted by a rapid knock on the door in the middle of the night.
At first, the captain was very unhappy and kept muttering to himself about who came to disturb his sweet sleep so late.
But when he finished listening to Wang Zhiqing's incoherent narration in a daze with sleepy eyes, he suddenly woke up as if struck by lightning, and a layer of fine beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Without time to think, the team leader hurriedly grabbed the tattered flashlight beside the bed, put on some clothes, put on his slippers, and hurriedly followed the visitor to the Youth League Home.
Along the way, his heart was in his throat, and all kinds of bad situations that might happen kept flashing through his mind.
Fortunately, when he followed Wang Zhiqing to the small educated youth compound, he saw that all the educated youth were standing together safely, with no missing limbs, and there was no bloody or chaotic scene. Only then did he put his heart at ease.
At this time, the captain's heart gradually calmed down due to the fear he had been feeling along the way and the cool breeze at night.
Only then did he think carefully about what Wang Zhiqing had told him about his situation, and only then did he figure out the reason.
I was too anxious and didn't listen carefully to what Wang Zhiqing said. I just came here in a hurry.
Now looking at this scene, I remembered what Wang Zhiqing told me, so I asked a few other educated youths at random, and the stories they told me were all pretty much the same.
He knew that this was a premeditated theft. Now it was the middle of the night, and after thinking about it, he decided to lock the man in the woodshed first.
If there is anything, you can send the person to the Public Security Bureau or interrogate him again tomorrow.
After all, his accomplices have all run away, and it would be useless to ask them late at night. It would be better to wait until tomorrow and then hand them over to the police station.
Anyway, well, the evidence is all there, and they've been caught red-handed.
The captain watched as the young men in front of him threw the outsider, who was tied up like a dumpling, into the woodshed. He then looked at the layout at the base of the wall and praised:
"Well, you guys did a pretty good job of preparing for a rainy day. It's a good idea to spread some broken glass at the base of the wall. It's really helped you out today. Go to bed early now. After what happened tonight, they probably won't dare to do anything rash. We can tell you anything after we interrogate them tomorrow."
After saying these words, the captain yawned again, patted Wang Wenxiang on the shoulder, and said:
"Okay, you're doing pretty well as the captain of this small educated youth institute. You're doing a good job in everything.
I'm going back to rest now. You guys should go to bed early too. You guys shouldn't sleep too deeply at night!"
After saying this, the team leader no longer looked at the other educated youth, holding a flashlight, and prepared to stagger home.
Just as he reached the door and stepped out of the room, he thought of his future daughter-in-law and wondered if she was scared, so he looked back again.
After making sure that his future daughter-in-law was not frightened, he waved to the people inside and went home.
Fortunately, the captain remembered to check on his daughter-in-law's condition before leaving.
Just as I got home, before I even sat down on the kang and got warm, my old wife sat up and asked the captain:
"What's going on, old man? What happened at the Youth League compound in the middle of the night?"
The captain was almost dizzy from the cold outside. He quickly got into bed and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt before answering his wife:
"Hey, their yard was robbed, luckily they put some broken glass at the base of the wall.
Although there were broken glass buried on the wall of their courtyard at the beginning, those bastards used stairs to climb over the wall.
I don’t know how many people went to steal from their yard, but it was definitely a gang crime.
There are stairs outside the wall. Someone was injured by broken glass in their yard. His hand and waist were pierced by a wooden stake. They tied him up and threw him into the woodshed. They will interrogate him tomorrow."
Aunt Zhou was also frightened when she heard the news. It was bad enough that they committed the crime in a gang, but they also used ladders to climb over the wall. How immoral!
Aunt Zhou thought about how her son had just left and his wife's yard was robbed, so she asked hurriedly:
"Is our daughter-in-law scared? These bastards never do anything good every day. Recently, during the autumn harvest, &??&..."
The captain listened to his wife talking more and more excitedly, and even started to scold those people. He was afraid that his wife would not sleep late at night, so he continued to chat like this.
Are you still energetic for work tomorrow? I still have to deal with that matter, so I urged him:
"Alright, alright, stop cursing. Save that energy for tomorrow.
Xiaolin, the educated youth, wasn't frightened. I took a special look. Their compound was quite united, and nothing was wrong at all.
Don't worry about it. If you are really worried, just go and take a look tomorrow.
Go to sleep quickly, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."
After saying this, the captain ignored his wife, wrapped himself in a quilt and began to fall asleep, still thinking about continuing his original sweet dream.
At this moment, the captain's wife saw that her husband didn't say much, and after thinking about it, she felt that it made sense. If there was anything, couldn't she just go and check it out tomorrow?
After she figured it out, she wrapped her clothes around herself and lay down in bed.
The team leader and his wife had already fallen asleep, and the other small educated youth home had not suffered any substantial harm because the matter was handled promptly.
Because there were several male educated youth present, the female educated youth also returned to their rooms with peace of mind and prepared to go to bed.
Although the several male educated youth who were highly regarded returned to their rooms to sleep, they did not sleep as soundly as before. Instead, they kept an eye on the movements outside the yard.

Although this is a period article, I still have to appeal once. Flashlights were already available in that era, but the light from them was not as bright as the flashlights today. Those with better conditions could afford flashlights, they just needed industrial tickets.
