Siheyuan: I Called the Police at the Beginning

Chapter 25: Shazhu's Explanation

I know that the young people in the yard have actually been complaining about Sha Zhu, the violent maniac, for a long time.

Geng Ping'an's words seemed to be trying to sow discord.

What he said were all true and heartfelt words.

"Geng Ping'an, you are guilty!"

Seeing that he was unable to stop Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai's furious voice resounded throughout the compound.

"Once the police arrive, the reputation of the Siheyuan will be ruined. How will we be able to go out and meet people in the future?"

"From now on, how will the young men in the yard get married and have children?"

"This is all your fault!"

Yi Zhonghai's words made Yan Jiecheng and others change their expressions.

Yi Zhonghai's words reminded them that they were not yet married.

After knowing that their courtyard had been the scene of two police incidents, no girl would dare to marry there.

This is a top priority!
They still want to hold their wives and stay in a warm bed.

"Haha, bah!"

"Yi Zhonghai, put away your evil thoughts and change the concept for me."

"How can it be my responsibility now that the Siheyuan's reputation is ruined?"

"It's clearly Sha Zhu who frequently violently assaults people, and it's clearly Jia Zhang who frequently and lawlessly robs the neighborhood. Aren't these all criminals you've protected and nurtured?"

"They are the ones who broke the law."

"Instead of holding those who made mistakes accountable, you always focus on me, the victim."

"Your ass must be incredibly crooked, and your mind must be incredibly twisted, to be able to be so shameless and act as if it's a given."

"By the way, if they are the main culprits, then you are an accomplice, and the former uncle's status is even more serious. He knowingly broke the law and abused his power."

Because I know Yi Zhonghai's tricks.

They always like to use so-called principles and morals to restrain others.

Geng Ping'an naturally wouldn't waste his energy, nor would he spend a lot of energy trying to prove his innocence to him.

Thus falling into Yi Zhonghai's rhythm trap.

What Geng Ping'an had to do was to launch a fierce attack on Yi Zhonghai and constantly attack the loopholes in Yi Zhonghai's words.

Let’s see who is better at putting labels on others.

"Here they come, here they come, the police are here, Director Wang is here too!"

Geng Pingan and Yi Zhonghai refused to give in to each other, and the tension between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, Xu Damao's excited voice came from outside the door.

It turned out that he had called the police without delay and also invited Director Wang to come along.

Obviously, he wants to make the matter as big as possible.

"It's your compound again. What's going on? Tell me."

As soon as he came in, Director Wang said with a gloomy face and a bad look.

"What just happened yesterday? What are you doing today? You haven't learned your lesson at all!"

"I want to see if Yi Zhonghai is really so confused that he refuses to behave himself even after being dismissed from his post."

It was Xu Damao who called the person. Along the way, he naturally took the opportunity to tell Director Wang and others about the reasons for the conflict today.

And Xu Damao is such a shrewd and petty person.

Because he doesn't get along with Shazhu Yi Zhonghai.

Naturally, his words were filled with dissatisfaction towards the two people, which led the situation in a direction that was extremely disadvantageous to them.

Besides, today's incident was originally Sha Zhu's fault.

"Director Wang, let me, the person involved, explain what happened. This is what happened..."

I know that Yi Zhonghai is a silver-tongued man.

If he were to speak first, who knows how he would use his preconceived notions to explain the cause of the matter, either giving it the most serious or the least serious explanation.

Geng Ping'an took the initiative to step forward and explain, not giving Yi Zhonghai any chance to quibble.

"Since Shazhu has compensated the Jia family for their losses, I was thinking of buying some meat to celebrate."

"As a result, I don't know if Sha Zhu was holding a grudge against me, but he suddenly broke into my house and asked me to give the meat to the deaf old lady as a filial gift, saying that the deaf old lady was the ancestor of our courtyard."

"I refused to give it to him, so Sha Zhu beat me and stole my meat." "Anything good in the yard must be given to the deaf old lady first. And everyone in the yard knows that Sha Zhu often beats people."

"The public security comrades will know once they ask."

"It's just because of certain people that people are usually too angry to speak out, fearing that others will morally blackmail them, saying they are disrespectful to the elderly, lack unity, and are holding back the advancement of the Siheyuan community."

The police officers who came this time were the same people who came last time.

So Geng Ping'an smiled at them and explained embarrassedly.

"Comrade Public Security, I don't really want to bother you again and again."

"However, the atmosphere in this courtyard is corrupt, and all kinds of robbery are happening one after another, but they are covered up by someone with ulterior motives."

"It's obvious that Sha Zhu is doing evil, but he still thinks he's a good person and a filial son. I don't know who spoiled him."

"He was taught this absurd bandit mentality."

"Just now, someone asked everyone in the yard to stop Xu Damao from calling the police, saying that matters in the yard should be resolved in the yard and they can handle it themselves."

"Yet he immediately charged me, the victim, with the charge, and indiscriminately whitewashed the robber Sha Zhu."

"He treated the courtyard as his own territory and disregarded the law."

"Geng Ping'an, stop talking nonsense."

In front of Tong'an, Geng Ping'an characterized everything Sha Zhu did as crimes and said nothing good about it.

How could Sha Zhu bear this kind of grievance and immediately retorted angrily.

"I was just doing good things. The old lady is the ancestor of the courtyard. It's our duty to respect her."

"People like you have no sympathy."

"The uncle always taught us that the deaf old lady was a martyr's relative and gave straw sandals to the Red Army. We are doing a great deed by honoring her."

Good guy!
Geng Ping'an knew that Sha Zhu was a brainless person.

Can't stand provocation.

He often does things without considering the consequences, and is even less able to control his words, and is notoriously foul-mouthed.

So he did it somewhat on purpose just now, constantly belittling Sha Zhu in front of Director Wang and others.

It is obvious that Sha Zhu is really a fool.

An explanation is tantamount to admitting everything.

In this way, it would be difficult for Yi Zhonghai to exonerate Sha Zhu.

Not seeing Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady's expressions, they all became extremely ugly in an instant.

And beyond Geng Ping'an's expectation, Sha Zhu surprisingly performed for an exceptionally long time.

In order to increase his persuasiveness, he also blurted out the story of the deaf old lady pretending to be a martyr's relative.

Now that’s good, this is what Shazhu said himself.

Director Wang shouldn't blame Geng Ping'an for increasing the difficulty and pressure of their street office's work.

Thinking of this, Geng Ping'an looked at Sha Zhu, who had no idea what nonsense he was talking about, with a loving smile on his face.

Said to Director Wang.

"Director, you saw it too. Sha Zhu himself admitted that he wanted to steal my meat to honor the deaf old lady, and he was completely unaware of his mistake."

"He's the boss of the yard, and he's justified in snatching other people's meat."

"They're forcing us to recognize a non-relative, five-guarantee household as our ancestor. Isn't this just a step backwards in history, playing the patriarchal role?"

"The old lady is the same. She thinks she is Empress Dowager Cixi. She can't live without meat every day. Others have to ask her for permission before eating, and show her respect."

"Comrade, she's just an ordinary old lady, don't drag other people into this."

Geng Ping'an's words scared the police officers into breaking out in cold sweats.

New China was founded not long ago and there are many historical issues left over, so some things really should not be said.

At the same time, they frowned, thinking about the deaf old lady's identity as a martyr's relative.

Years of experience in handling cases made them instantly aware of the many loopholes in Sha Zhu's words.

The deaf old lady wouldn't be so bold as to pretend to be a martyr's relative!
Come to think of it, they didn’t see any sign for the martyr’s family.

Yet, Sha Zhu kept saying that the deaf old lady was a martyr's relative and had given straw sandals to soldiers who had never been to the Forbidden City?!
It was only because Director Wang was there that the police officers did not pursue the matter on the spot.

They cannot interfere in other people's affairs.

After all, regardless of whether the deaf old lady is a martyr's relative or not, and the source of her status as a five-guarantee household, no matter how big the problem is, it should fall within the scope of work handled by the street office.
