On the other side, Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu with scrutiny in his eyes.

Qin Huairu nodded slightly and smiled.

Yi Zhonghai knew what was going on.

After following Sha Zhu out of the gate, Qin Huairu followed behind, carrying a lunch box in her hand. She wanted to go to the hospital first to deliver some food to Jia Zhang and Bang Gen, and then go to work in the steel rolling mill.

It was already June, and she didn't want to have her money deducted again for taking leave.

Just as the workers in the yard were leaving for work one after another, Officer Li from the subdistrict office also brought two people to the courtyard.

Yan Fugui was driving the car to go out when he happened to meet Director Li.

"Director Xiao Li, what are you doing?"

"Teacher Yan, there is no task above, let us come down to investigate!"

Officer Li said, "You happen to be here, let's take a look first."

As he said this, Officer Li took out a photo and showed it to Yan Fugui.

"This is what the higher-ups requested. Ask if you have seen anyone wearing such clothes."

"By the way, this is an old photo, probably from before liberation. It's quite old. Have you been in this hospital for a long time, do you have any impressions of it?"

Yan Fugui looked at the photo. He saw a man sitting there with his head uncovered. He didn't know anything just by looking at his clothes.

"No, really not."

"I came to the Siheyuan after liberation, and I have never seen it before."

Yan Fugui recalled it carefully. Except for the calculations, he could remember a few things in his mind, but the rest had long been forgotten.

"Okay, if you remember anything, remember to tell us, there is a reward for this."

"Reward? What is it?"

Yan Fugui's eyes widened when he heard the reward.

"Five yuan for a useful clue, ten yuan for a major clue, no matter how big it is, haha."

As Officer Li said, Yan Fugui was already trembling.

Five dollars is a lot!

Officer Li led people into the courtyard and started asking door to door.

Of course, the main thing is to ask the elderly.

In the backyard, an aunt came to the deaf old lady's house with noodles, helped the deaf old lady up, and fed her slowly and carefully.

"Old lady, please eat more. Only when you are full can you feel better!"

The deaf old lady ate mechanically without speaking. Her eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of concealment, unable to see the light.

"Auntie, are you there?"

The second aunt's voice came from the door, and the first aunt quickly put down her things and walked out.

"Second aunt, what's wrong?"

"Auntie, someone from the street office is looking for you. Let's go and have a look."

After hearing this, the aunt quickly went out and came to the middle courtyard.

A group of people gathered together. The three aunts in front looked at the photo posted on the big locust tree attentively. They felt that they had seen it somewhere, but they just couldn't remember it.

Officer Xiao Li explained the situation in front of everyone, asking everyone to be vigilant, observe carefully, and report any situation in a timely manner.

As for the reward, I didn't mention it.

After all, he didn't have much hope for an old photo.

After the people from the street office left, everyone dispersed. Under the big locust tree, only the three aunts were still watching. But the more they looked, the less they could remember. In the end, they had no choice but to go home to look after their children.

In the backyard, the aunt came back and looked at the deaf old lady lying on the bed. She wanted to let her eat something, but seeing the look on the old lady's face, she put down the bowl and chopsticks again.

"Old lady, you don't know, this street office is really good at looking for trouble!"

The aunt thought that telling the old lady something new might help her feel better.

"This man came to our courtyard with a photo and asked if anyone had seen it."

"Who knows what happened before liberation? It's just a skirt embellished with plum blossoms. Even if we have seen it, we have long forgotten it!"

"But I don't blame them. Who told those damn bad guys to stop being human? Why don't we live a more stable life? These people have done such unconscionable things and will be punished sooner or later..."

The aunt was talking nonchalantly, but she didn't realize that when she talked about the skirt, the wrinkled face of the deaf old lady suddenly turned ferocious.

After the eldest mother left, the deaf old lady's face changed, and there was an inexplicable fear in her eyes.
