The house that opened the door is the neighbor of the house with the lantern.
A man came out of the door, which could be vaguely seen through the moonlight. This man was not young, probably in his fifties or sixties. He spat at the house where the lantern was hung:
"Bah, the commotion at night keeps people from sleeping."
"This man looks very angry. What do you think Zhou Lixia did when she entered the house next to her?" Li Hui asked curiously.
"How do I know that?"
"If only we could go in and have a look." Li Hui muttered softly.
"How do you get in without a search warrant?" Han Bin asked back.
"Is it just waiting?" Li Hui sighed.
Han Bin spread his hands, he was also very helpless.
"You said the man who just came out, does he know something?" Li Hui asked.
Han Bin hesitated for a moment, then stood up: "Go, go and talk to that man."
Li Hui patted his pants and followed.
"Uncle, it's so late, you're still outside." Han Bin smiled.
"It's too noisy at home, I can't stay here."
"Is there a guest at your house?" Han Bin walked up to him and handed him a cigarette.
The man put it under his nose and smelled it, then pointed to the house where the lantern was hung: "It's his house that has visitors."
"How do you know?" Li Hui asked.
"He's here with a friend, and there's been a lot of noise when he comes back, and he can hear it clearly in the yard." The man's expression was a little complicated, with both envy and jealousy.
Han Bin was a little bit dumbfounded, Zhou Lixia was really restless this week, and came to meet her boyfriend in the middle of the night.
Han Bin lit a cigarette and asked the man beside him, "Uncle, what's your name?"
"My surname is Bao." The man responded and asked, "What do you two do?"
"We are the police." Han Bin showed his police officer ID.
"Hey, why did the police come here?" the man asked curiously.
"We are here to check the temporary residence permit. We happened to see you and wanted to know something about it."
"It's not easy for you, you still work at night."
"It should, serve the people." Han Bin laughed.
"Hmph, the common people have a lot of troubles, you can take care of them?" The man surnamed Bao sighed.
"Uncle, we really don't have superpowers, but as long as we meet, we will definitely take care of it. If you have something that doesn't go your way, you can tell us." Han Bin said sincerely.
Uncle Bao glanced at Han Bin, then pointed to the house where the lantern was hung: "Can you also take care of this matter?"
"As long as it affects your life, we can take care of it." Han Bin said.
"Why doesn't it matter? I can hear it in my own courtyard. It's very loud. Do you want to make trouble?" Uncle Bao said angrily.
Probably going to have to sleep again tonight.
"If they affect you, you can complain to them." Han Bin suggested.
"Can I complain about this kind of thing?"
"Article 46 of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution stipulates that the volume should be controlled or other effective measures should be taken when engaging in family indoor entertainment activities." Han Bin paused and continued to explain:
"Once this provision is violated, it shall be in accordance with Article 18 of the "Public Security Management Punishment Law". Anyone who makes noise and interferes with the normal life of others shall be given a warning; and those who do not make corrections after the warning shall be fined between 200 and 500 yuan."
"Can the police take care of this?" Uncle Bao still couldn't believe it.
"Aren't we right here?"
Uncle Bao hesitated for a moment, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stomped hard: "I want to report to him, making noise will affect my normal life."
"No problem, I will help you deal with it tomorrow." Han Bin said seriously.
Zhou Lixia has an unusual relationship with this family, and it is possible that she contacted Zhou Tianrong through this family. Han Bin was just looking for a legitimate reason to go in and investigate.
"Uncle Bao, how many people are in the household where the lanterns are hung?"
"There are four people. The son's family of three lives in the south. Zou Huaiyuan is the only one left."
"What's the name of Zou Huaiyuan's girlfriend?"
"Zhou Lixia."
"Do you know Zhou Lixia?"
"They're all from the same village. They've been there for decades. Don't know each other."
"There are several members of Zhou Lixia's family.
"Two, and a son."
"Do you know his son?"
"We met and recognized each other, but we haven't spoken to each other."
"Has her son ever been to Zou Huaiyuan's house?" Han Bin asked.
"I haven't seen it before." Uncle Bao shook his head:
"Comrade police, please leave this matter to you, I'll go back first, don't say I reported it."
…
next morning.
At six o'clock in the morning, the door of Zou Huaiyuan's house opened. Zou Huaiyuan stood at the door, stretched, walked around, and waved to the door of his own house.
Afterwards, Zhou Lixia came out, glanced around, and whispered, "I'm leaving."
"Slow down." Zou Huaiyuan reached out and patted her arm.
After watching Zhou Lixia leave, Zou Huaiyuan closed the door, wanting to go home for a restful sleep.
…
"Boom boom boom..."
Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside.
In broad daylight, Zou Huaiyuan didn't sleep soundly, and suddenly woke up: "Who is it?"
"Open the door."
Zou Huaiyuan sat up and took a while to walk to the gate: "Who's outside?"
"police."
"What are the police here for?" Zou Huaiyuan was a little puzzled, but he opened the door anyway, and there were two young men standing outside.
"Are you really the police?"
The two men standing outside are Han Bin and Li Hui.
Han Bin took out his police officer ID: "This is the ID."
Zou Huaiyuan took it over, glanced at it, and seemed a little nervous: "Comrade policeman, what can you do for me?"
"Someone reported that your house is often disturbed by noise at night, please come and deal with it." Han Bin said, and went directly into the gate and walked into the yard.
"Comrade police, who reported me?"
Han Bin waved his hand, signaling him not to ask: "Who was here last night?"
"Me and a friend."
"What's your friend's name?"
"That's a question too."
"Routine inquiry, check the situation."
"Zhou Lixia, she's my girlfriend."
"What is she doing here?"
"Go through the door."
Li Hui said with a serious face: "To be honest, you are not allowed to lie. We will confront her. If the two of you say something different, then you are deliberately concealing the problem."
"When she arrived at my house, she made a phone call first, and then we chatted for a while before going to bed." Zou Huaiyuan smiled a bit, a little proud and a little embarrassed.
"Who did she call?"
"To her son."
"Whose cell phone did you use?"
"Mine, what's the matter?" Zou Huaiyuan asked puzzled.
"I want to verify it," Han Bin said.
Zou Huaiyuan hesitated for a moment, but still handed the phone to Han Bin.
Han Bin looked through the call records. Last night, Zou Huaiyuan only made one call at 8.35pm. Han Bin secretly wrote down the phone number.
"What's her son's name?" Han Bin asked.
"Zhou Tianrong."
"do you know?"
"Unfamiliar."
Han Bin returned the phone to Zou Huaiyuan and asked, "Have you seen him recently?"
"I haven't met Zhou Tianrong much," Zou Huaiyuan said.
"Aren't you and Zhou Lixia friends? Logically speaking, you should be very familiar with her son." Li Hui said.
"How should I say it?" Zou Huaiyuan sighed and hesitated for a moment:
"I don't want other people to know about our relationship. After all, she is not young, especially her son, who is famous in our area. If he knows that we are together, he won't make trouble in my family." Turn the sky upside down."
"Okay, we've said everything that needs to be said, and verified what needs to be verified. You should pay attention in the future. Don't make too much noise at night, and it's not good to affect the rest of the neighbors." Han Bin said.
"Police officer, let me ask you, did the old boy surnamed Bao report me." Zou Huaiyuan pointed to the nearby yard.
"You don't need to know this, just pay more attention in the future."
"If you don't tell me, I also know that it must be that old boy. He has seen Lixia come to my house, so he must be very envious." Zou Huaiyuan snorted.
"We're all neighbors, peace is the most important thing, there's no need to make everyone unhappy." Han Bin left the sentence and walked out of the yard.
