"Ding-a-ling-ling…"
Just as Director Li was deep in thought, the phone suddenly rang. Director Li immediately picked it up and said, "Hello, this is…"
"Alright, no matter what, we must investigate thoroughly!!!"
"Good, good, the relevant personnel will be severely punished without leniency!"
"Alright, our station will definitely cooperate with the special investigation team!!!"
Director Li hung up the phone, sighed softly, and said to the two police officers, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Liu, the higher-ups know about Yi Zhonghai's matter. It will be handed over to a special investigation team, which will arrive this afternoon. You two should organize the investigation records and be ready for the handover!"
"Understood!!!" the two officers said in unison.
"Also, have He Daqing come back for investigation. This case seems simple, but it involves deep connections. Although the case has been handed over to the special investigation team, it doesn't mean we do nothing. You two work hard and have someone bring in the Director Wang, the Deaf Old Lady from the backyard of No. 95 Courtyard, and Yang Factory Director from the Steel Rolling Plant to cooperate with the investigation!" Director Li continued to instruct.
"Yes…"
…
At the Steel Rolling Plant's administrative building, in the factory office, Yang Factory Director had just started work when he received a newspaper from his secretary.
Picking up the tea brewed by his secretary, Yang Factory Director took a light sip.
"Pfft…"
Suddenly seeing the content on the newspaper, Yang Factory Director spat out the tea from his mouth along with the tea leaves.
Gradually, Yang Factory Director's pupils constricted, and cold sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead.
"I hope it doesn't involve me!" Putting down the newspaper, Yang Factory Director muttered to himself.
Good heavens, Yi Zhonghai is truly a ruthless person! He usually seems so amiable and kind to others, yet he committed such a beastly act. I really didn't expect it!
What was even more unexpected was that Sha Zhu's younger sister, He Yushui, actually went to the post office to hold a sign, and this matter even made it into the daily newspaper!
Yi Zhonghai's matter might not end well. Thinking of the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady, Yang Factory Director's face was filled with bitterness and helplessness!
"Knock knock knock!!!!"
"Come in!!!!"
"Pfft…"
The door slowly opened, revealing Yang Factory Director's secretary. Yang Factory Director couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but just as he relaxed, he suddenly became anxious because two police officers were following behind the secretary.
"Yang Factory Director, these two officers are looking for you!" the secretary said with a smile.
Yang Factory Director pretended to be calm and waved his hand, telling the secretary, "You can go first!"
After the secretary left, the two officers spoke, "Yang Factory Director, we are here today because there is something we need to ask you to come back and cooperate with our investigation!"
Hearing this, Yang Factory Director's eyes narrowed, and he tentatively asked, "Are there any questions that cannot be asked here? The factory still has many things to deal with. Do I really have to go to the station with you?"
"No!!!" one officer shook his head and refused, though his refusal was direct, there was a hint of a smile on his face.
Yang Factory Director frowned and asked, "Has something happened?"
The officer did not directly answer his question but walked forward and said seriously, "Yang Factory Director, please don't make things difficult for us. It is the higher-ups' instruction for you to come back and cooperate with the investigation!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Factory Director understood that the situation was more serious than he had imagined. He did not resist, stood up, and followed the officers out!
This scene also occurred at the street office, where Director Wang was taken away by two police officers shortly after starting work.
At No. 95 Courtyard in Nanluoguxiang, the men were at work, and the women were whispering and discussing. Last night, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were taken away, and they hadn't figured out why. Today, while their men were at work, they all gathered together to continue their discussion.
Suddenly, two police officers walked in. San Dama, Yang Zhenhua, asked in surprise, "Comrade police, what exactly did Yi Zhonghai do wrong?"
One officer said sternly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the officer, ignoring Yang Zhenhua's reaction, walked straight towards the backyard.
A moment later, the Deaf Old Lady was seen being led away, looking disheveled, by the two officers!
"Why are you arresting me? Help!!!"
"The police are hitting people!!!!"
Despite the Deaf Old Lady's tantrum, she was still dragged out of No. 95 Courtyard by the officers.
"This is going to be a big deal!" Yang Zhenhua slapped her thigh and exclaimed.
Last night, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were arrested, and today, the Deaf Old Lady was arrested. The most senior people in the Courtyard were taken away, and the seriousness of the matter was obvious.
After the Deaf Old Lady's voice could no longer be heard, the women in the Courtyard began discussing again.
Clearly, the Deaf Old Lady's arrest must be related to Yi Zhonghai and his wife.
The happiest one was Jia Zhangshi. She knew that she usually threw tantrums and rolled around, but she was always suppressed by the Deaf Old Lady. Now that the Deaf Old Lady was gone, she wished the Deaf Old Lady would never return!
…
Approaching noon, He Yushui's figure appeared at the police station again.
"Director Li, I'm sorry to keep bothering you. I just wanted to ask about the progress of the matter?" He Yushui came to Director Li's office and explained her purpose.
Director Li looked deeply at He Yushui and truthfully relayed the progress.
He Yushui's face was expressionless, but her heart was blooming with joy. Things were going even more smoothly than she had expected. Her series of combined punches had actually attracted a special investigation team!
"Director Li, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with!" Saying this, He Yushui took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to Director Li, then continued, "I told you about my family's situation yesterday. My Silly Ge was swindled by that old-age care syndicate!"
Director Li opened the note, and on it was clearly written an IOU from Qin Huairu, with an amount of two thousand five hundred yuan!
Director Li immediately understood He Yushui's intention. He said, "I will explain this situation to the special investigation team, but no one can guarantee the outcome, after all, the Jia family truly has no money left!"
He Yushui thought for a moment, nodded gently, and said, "I understand, but they still have a house and jobs!"
The main purpose of coming today was, firstly, to understand the situation, and secondly, how to get back the money Sha Zhu lent to Qin Huairu. She just didn't expect Yi Zhonghai's matter to go so smoothly, so He Yushui naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity. If she missed this village, she might not find this shop.
Sha Zhu, that idiot, lent Qin Huairu so much money, and just an IOU was useless.
In He Yushui's estimation, the money from those few households in the Siheyuan (Courtyard) had all gone to Xu Damao. The Jia family was probably truly out of money!
Director Li nodded and said, "I understand this matter. I will explain the situation clearly to the comrades of the special investigation team!"
He Yushui nodded happily and said, "Thank you, Director Li, you are a good person!"
Director Li smiled slightly and said, "I can understand what you've been through!"
