After Fan Shasha put away the things, she and Luo Xingchen continued to prepare the ingredients for the evening.
In the afternoon, Yan Bugui in the front yard began to write couplets to the people in the yard in exchange for melon seeds and peanuts.
Luo Xingchen also exchanged a handful of peanuts and some candies for a pair of couplets and pasted them up.
In the evening, Luo Xingchen and Fan Shasha cooked a large table of dishes.
"Sasha, it's getting dark. Go next door and bring them over."
"okay."
Soon, Fan Shasha came over with two little ones, Yu Yu and the deaf old lady.
Just as they were about to sit down to eat, Yi Zhonghai and his wife came to the backyard.
"Hey, old lady, we also said that we would come over and ask you and Yuyu to go back for dinner."
"Master Yi, it's okay, just let the old lady and Yuyu eat here."
"I have also cooked a lot of dishes over there. How about we bring the dishes over and we can eat together. It will be lively." Yi Zhonghai said.
"Okay, what's the problem? It's better to celebrate the Chinese New Year."
Soon the food at Yi Zhonghai's house was brought over. One table was not enough. Yi Zhonghai went next door and moved the old deaf lady's table over, and then put down all the dishes.
"Come on, Master Yi, happy New Year and have a drink."
"Happy New Year, stars."
Just when several people were eating in full swing, everyone heard several gunshots.
Luo Xingchen immediately stood up and took out the two men's guns from the cabinet on the kang.
He said after handing Sasha's gun to her.
"You are at home, keep an eye on the house, I will go out and take a look."
"I'll go with you."
"No, don't forget that I have been at war for ten years. You can just stay at home and look after the house."
After Luo Xingchen went out, he loaded his gun and quickly ran in the direction where the gunfire came from.

Soon Luo Xingchen came to the courtyard a few yards away from where he lived.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I could smell the smell of blood in the air with my keen sense of smell. There was also a group of people pointing at a room in the courtyard, and women's screams could be heard from time to time.
Luo Xingchen quickly walked into the courtyard and shouted loudly.
"The police are handling the case. Now everyone stands still and is not allowed to move. If anyone dares to move, don't blame me for not warning you."
After hearing the sound, everyone turned around and saw Luo Xingchen in military uniform with a pistol in hand.
Luo Xingchen squeezed through the crowd and quickly went into the house to check, and saw a family of four lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
Luo Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward to check, but unfortunately the four of them were no longer breathing. All four of them were fatally wounded, all being hit directly on the head.
Luo Xingchen used his criminal investigation skills to examine the scene.
There were no signs of a fight at the scene. From the man's expression, it could be seen that the man was surprised when he saw the shooter. This means that an acquaintance committed the crime.
From the bullet casings on the ground, it can be seen that the bullets used were box gun bullets.
After briefly checking the scene, Luo Xingchen went out.
"Who's the first to go out and check."
"I, comrade." A middle-aged man in his 40s walked out with his hand raised.
"Well, then tell me what happened."
"I was eating when I heard several gunshots in the yard. I was so scared that I got under the table. At that time, I thought, please don't enter my house."
"Listen to the key points."
"Oh, after I got under the table, I couldn't hear any movement after a while. Then I came out from under the table and went out to check."
"As soon as I came out, I saw the door of Lao Liu's house was wide open, so I went to check. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a family of four lying on the ground with blood flowing all over the floor. I shouted loudly, murder, murder. , everyone in the backyard came out to check. Then you came over."
"Yeah, that's right. We came out to see it just because we heard the second-rate son's voice. Otherwise, we wouldn't have dared to come out."
"Well, okay, now everyone is standing in the courtyard and no one is allowed to move."
"Come on, kid, can you do your uncle a favor?"
"okay."
"Okay, then go to Courtyard No. 95, find someone and tell Luo Xingchen to come over. Go ahead."
Soon the child came over with Yi Zhonghai.
"Master Yi, why are you here?"
"I couldn't bear to worry so I waited at the door. The kid said you were calling someone, so I followed him." Yi Zhonghai said.
"Okay, Master Yi, please go to the police station and ask a team of people to come over. Just say that I called them."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Yi Zhonghai ran out, Luo Xingchen carefully observed the people in the courtyard.
"Um, Comrade Public Security, can I go to the toilet? I want to pee." Er Laizi said.
"You're not allowed to go, hold it in for now. Someone will take you there when the people from the police station arrive."
"Fine."
Soon Yu Bing drove over in a car with several police officers.
"Good job, director." The remaining soldiers saluted.
"Well, Xiao Wang, take this person to pee first. Be careful and shoot him directly if he dares to run or makes any other unnecessary moves."
"yes."
Soon Xiao Wang came back with his second wife.
Xiao Wang, guard the door. Xiao Chen looked at these people and shot if anyone dared to run away.
"yes."
"I suspect that the murderer is among your group."
"Now, the search starts next to the victim's house."
"Whose house is this?"
"My family, comrade from the police, I was wronged."
"I didn't say you were the murderer. I was just conducting a simple inspection."
I searched several houses and found nothing.
"Whose house is this?"
"My family, my family." Er Laizi said hurriedly.
"Well, then come over."
Luo Xingchen and Yu Bing entered the house and found that it was very cold. It was not even the slightest bit colder than the previous households. Luo Xingchen felt like he had just returned home from get off work every day.
Luo Xingchen continued to inspect the room.
"Huh."
"What's wrong, Comrade Public Security?" Er Laizi asked nervously.
"Yu Bing, hold him captive for me." As soon as Luo Xingchen finished speaking, Yu Bing directly put the second bastard to the ground and put a gun to his head.
"The police comrades are unjustly accused, they are unjustly accused."
"Be honest and don't move. If you dare to move again, you will collapse. Believe it or not."
Er Laizi suddenly became quiet after hearing Yu Bing's words.
Upon seeing this, Yu Bing twisted the second laizi's arms behind his back and handcuffed him, and then he lifted the second laizi up.
"Oh? You said I wronged you?"
"Xiao Chen, bring everyone in the courtyard here."
Soon everyone gathered at the door of Er Laizi's house.
"Hey, why did the police arrest the second-rate scoundrel?"
"Okay, everyone, just be quiet."
"Second scoundrel, you said I wronged you, right?"
"Yes, comrade police, you can't wrongly accuse good people."
"Okay, since you said I wronged you, I'm here to talk to you."
"Everyone should have heard what the second-rate man said by then. Is there any enthusiastic member of the public who still remembers what he said and can tell you again."
"I remember, the second rascal said that he was eating when he heard gunshots outside and got under the table in fright. After a while and there was no movement, he came out and yelled. We also came out to see after hearing his yelling. Leader Am I right?"
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. It's you who said these words, right?"
"Yes, so I was wronged."
"Do you think you're smart?"
"First, you said you checked after a while after hearing the gunfire while eating, right?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"Come on, tell me where is your meal? You can come in and have a look too."
Several people from the courtyard also came in to check.
"Hey, bastard, why didn't you light the stove today? It's so cold in the house."
"No, didn't this scoundrel say he was eating? Why is this table empty?"
"Everyone has seen it."
"Second bastard, do you want to explain?"
"I've finished eating and tidying up. What's the matter?" Er Laizi's face suddenly became panicked.
"Okay, you don't have to quibble. Let me tell you how you committed the crime."
"You must have been planning this for a long time. On New Year's Eve, everyone is eating New Year's Eve dinner in the house and everyone has the door closed, so you can take action."
"You must have been wandering outside all day, waiting for it to get dark, and then came back from outside, pretending to visit the victim's house, but actually used this to commit the murder."
"You should have thought that when the people in the courtyard heard the gunshots, they would be so scared that they would hide in the house and dare not come out to check. This gives you a great opportunity."
"As for what you said, it's just that you already knew in advance that we would ask who was the first person to go out to check, so you had already made up your excuse. Am I right?"
"Well, so what, they deserve to die."
"Okay, here's the gun."
"Tucked under the bed."
Soon the gun was taken by Xiao Chen.
"Okay, Yu Bing, let's take the person back. Contact the street office to see if there are any relatives in this family and inform them to collect the body."
"yes."
Soon the people from the subdistrict office came over. Luo Xingchen left the rest of the work to Yu Bing and went back with Yi Zhonghai.
