Sha Zhu was still unwilling to give up. After hearing Li Chaoyang's words, Sha Zhu directly and confidently said to Li Chaoyang.

"Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it's yours. What proof do you have that it's yours? I could say it's mine."

Li Chaoyang had never seen anyone so shameless. He was no longer willing to back down on the matter of Sha Zhu.

Li Chaoyang simply picked up the bound (abfi) Sha Zhu and walked outside, and even the neighbors in the courtyard couldn't stop him.

Li Chaoyang's action really startled Sha Zhu, who then shouted even more violently on the road between the courtyard and the security department.

He stood there dumbfounded, trying to jump down several times, but never got the chance. In the end, he was tied up and carried into the security department.

Xiao Zhang from the security department is currently questioning everyone in the courtyard. Because everyone is upright and honest, even after several questionings, there are still no results.

Xiao Zhang felt that Li Chaoyang wouldn't file a false report, so this matter must be just as Li Chaoyang said, and the people in the courtyard must be the most suspicious.

But none of these old guys would budge, which made Xiao Zhang very angry. He had lost all patience and started swearing, threatening Yan Fugui.

“You old guys, don’t think I can’t do anything to you just because you don’t admit it. I can tell you very clearly that even if you don’t admit it today, I can still file a report saying that you did this, and none of you will leave here.”

"Instead of all being locked up here, why not have one of you confess? You need to show some willingness to sacrifice. Aren't you the Court of Glory? If one of you confesses, the rest of you can go back. What do you say? Have you thought it through?"

Hearing what Xiao Zhang meant, Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong were furious. This was an attempt to force a confession, and they had to make these people admit it. The people in the courtyard were unwilling and angrily cursed.

"Who do you think you are? We've explained it to you countless times. We didn't do it, and that's that."

"It's no use submitting a report. Our statements are consistent; we definitely didn't steal it. You have no evidence."

The security personnel thought these people were easily intimidated and that scareing them would surely achieve the desired result.

However, the people in these courtyards are all incredibly stubborn, and no one has admitted it yet. However, the security department has not used any advanced technology, but has only used some methods that are available.

It wouldn't be too difficult to find out. Even with the current limited technology, we should still be able to find some clues. Now, hearing the people in the courtyard shouting angrily, Xiao Zhang slammed his fist on the table in even greater anger.

"What do you think this place is? How dare you shout and yell like this? I think you all have a lot of nerve."

“I can tell you with absolute certainty that the Security Department has not yet used any investigative methods. If we go into the courtyard and carefully examine the fingerprints you left behind, it will be immediately clear who the murderer and perpetrator is.”

Since none of the people present were actually the perpetrators, no one felt panicked even after hearing these words.

Instead, he looked extremely smug. Seeing that the people in the courtyard wouldn't listen to reason or threats, Xiao Zhang was so angry he was about to vomit blood.

Li Chaoyang tied Sha Zhu up and threw him on the ground. Xiao Zhang was really frightened by this, and even he didn't dare to use such private torture.

Unexpectedly, Li Chaoyang actually dared to tie someone up and take them to the security department.

"Hey, Li Chaoyang, what are you doing? Why did you kidnap him? Couldn't he have come by himself? You're really something."

"Untie him quickly. We're still here, after all. If someone sees this, they'll think I tied him up like this, and we won't be able to explain it then."

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were genuinely startled by what they saw, but they quickly and loudly told Li Chaoyang.

"Li Chaoyang, Li Chaoyang, what are you doing? First you framed us for stealing your things, and now you've tied up Sha Zhu and brought him to the security department. You really will do anything."

"Tell me, what are you really thinking? What do you want? What will it take for you to let us go?"

"Are you planning to kick us all out of the courtyard house so you can take it all for yourself?"

0 ·Requesting flowers····· ········

Li Chaoyang didn't care what these people said. The facts were clear: the thief was Sha Zhu. But Li Chaoyang didn't intend to release the others so quickly.

After hearing these words, Li Chaoyang decided to make these people suffer a little more.

“If you’re willing to come to the security department obediently, then you can come normally. This is the consequence of not coming to the security department to turn yourself in.”

........ ...... 0

“Shazhu is also a member of our courtyard, and he has suddenly disappeared for so long, so he is also a suspect.”

"I brought him to the security department for inspection. Is there something wrong with that? Or are you unusually nervous because you've seen an accomplice?"

"I advise you to confess as soon as possible. Now you can say that you've been caught red-handed. My lyric book has been found and is now in Sha Zhu's hands."

"But I don't believe that Sha Zhu alone would dare to be so bold. You all know very well who is behind me. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

Xiao Zhang was at a loss about the whole case, but after hearing Li Chaoyang's words, he was pleasantly surprised.

Chapter 146 Admitting Mistakes Now Is Too Late! [Please Subscribe]

Xiao Zhang looked at Li Chaoyang in great surprise. The other people in the courtyard were also surprised that things had progressed to this point. Everyone's face showed a look of astonishment.

Neither Liu Haizhong nor Yan Fugui believed that Sha Zhu was the one who did this, because Sha Zhu's family was indeed doing quite well, and Sha Zhu was usually seen as a very warm and friendly person.

But now, in the hands of "863" Sha Zhu, they did indeed see that very familiar lyric book, which surprised Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui.

Xu Damao didn't care about anything else. He felt this was a great opportunity. Not only could he curry favor with Li Chaoyang, but he could also strike at Sha Zhu. Xu Damao immediately stepped forward and only recognized Sha Zhu, who was next to Li Chaoyang.

"That's right, it must be this idiot Zhu. He's the one who did it. Arrest him and release us, and that'll settle things."

"Isn't that catching them red-handed? This time, the lyrics book belonged to Li Chaoyang, and it's in Sha Zhu's hands now, isn't it?"

Xu Damao was the first to stand up, which made Li Chaoyang very happy. Seeing this, he immediately started cursing.

"Xu Damao, you sycophant, what benefits did Li Chaoyang give you? Are you trying to get me killed?"

"But don't think that just because you say that everyone will believe you. You're no good either. I don't need to say more about your purpose in colluding with Li Chaoyang."

"Your words don't count, and no one will believe you. Wait until I get out, then I won't hit you."

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao had indeed always been at odds. Now, hearing these words, Li Chaoyang didn't place any hope on Xu Damao at all, but looked at Xiao Zhang very seriously.

"You heard what I just said, right? Although the main perpetrator was who did it, there must be someone behind it. The people in these courtyards are all involved. Now that we have evidence, you can increase the scope of your interrogations, right?"

Li Chaoyang is incredibly knowledgeable about the affairs of the Security Department; he even knows this much. There's now evidence to stop the spread of the virus, and the stolen lyrics book has been found. This should allow for an increase in the detention time of these key suspects.

“Li Chaoyang, you’re right. We now have brand new evidence, so we can indeed continue the interrogation.”

It was already dark outside, and only then did the second and third aunts realize how serious the situation was. They never expected to have to spend the night there, and they started to cry.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui finally admitted defeat. No matter what aspect they were no match for Li Chaoyang, they had no choice but to lower their stance. Several elderly men and women knelt down in front of Li Chaoyang.

"Chaoyang, please don't be so heartless. We're begging you, okay? We really have nothing to do with this."

 5.8 “Yes, we can guarantee with our integrity that we absolutely did not instigate or instruct Sha Zhu to do this. Please let us go.”

“We’ll definitely listen to you from now on and never go against you again. Talk to the security officer and ask him to release us.”

"We really know we were wrong. Please, for the sake of us being in the same courtyard, don't pursue this further, okay?"

Chapter 147 They certainly didn't have the guts, nor could they have imagined this! [Please Subscribe]

It's already very late, and it wasn't easy to drag Sha Zhu back from the record factory.

Li Chaoyang had just intended to teach the old and young people in the courtyard a lesson. Now that the old people had admitted their mistakes and even knelt down before Li Chaoyang, Li Chaoyang felt that he should settle things properly with Sha Zhu next.

Since it wasn't done by the people in the courtyard, they could naturally let the person go, so they walked up to Xiao Zhang.

"Xiao Zhang, this all depends on your security department. What do you think we should do about this?"

"The stolen goods have all been found, right here with Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu is definitely the mastermind, but whether anyone instigated him behind the scenes depends on how well you investigate."

"Let's ask around. If there's no such situation, then they can leave. I don't want to wrong an innocent person."

"But this idiot Zhu needs to be taught a lesson. He actually claimed that the lyric book was his own. I think your security department should be able to investigate this thoroughly!"

To put it bluntly, the security department has to listen to Li Chaoyang. Now that Xiao Zhang heard Li Chaoyang say this, he understood what Li Chaoyang meant.

Xiao Zhang walked up to Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong. Several elderly men and women also got up from the ground. Xiao Zhang asked them a few questions.

"Please tell me honestly, do you know when Sha Zhu went to Li Chaoyang's house to steal things, and why and how he got into Li Chaoyang's house?"

"I warn you, confess and you will be treated leniently, resist and you will be punished severely!"

"We won't wrong an innocent person, but we absolutely won't let a guilty person go unpunished. Tell us what you have to say, otherwise, if the investigation later reveals that you were the ones who instigated this, then your crimes will be much more serious!"

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui had never experienced anything like this before. They were constantly being given a major demerit and locked up. It seemed that the most serious cases would lead to labor reform. They certainly wouldn't dare to lie.

This matter originally had nothing to do with Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, but considering the serious consequences, they dared not say a word to Xiao Zhang.

“Comrade, you can investigate all you want. It really wasn’t us who did it, it has nothing to do with us. How would we know when he went there or how he got there?”

"Yes, we can take responsibility for what we say. If it turns out that we encouraged him to steal, then we can be severely punished!"

"Don't say we don't have the guts; even if we did, we wouldn't have thought of this place!"

"Besides, wouldn't it be better to steal something else? Li Chaoyang's house has plenty of valuable things, why did he have to steal a lyric book!"

"Besides, it's just a lyric book, not something particularly valuable, so I don't think even if it's confirmed that Sha Zhu did it, there shouldn't be any particularly serious consequences, right?"

Aside from the fool, no one else in this courtyard had such a wicked idea, nor did they know that the lyrics book could represent enormous wealth. When Li Chaoyang heard these people say these words, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

This further confirms that this matter has nothing to do with the old people in these courtyards, and Xiao Zhang is also certain of this.

Chapter 148 The best is yet to come! [Please subscribe]

Xiao Zhang walked up to Li Chaoyang. Although it had been confirmed that these matters had nothing to do with the people in the courtyard, he still needed to ask Li Chaoyang's opinion before releasing them.

Li Chaoyang had just overheard Xiao Zhang and the people in the courtyard asking questions, so without waiting for Xiao Zhang to speak, Li Chaoyang wanted to speed up the case's progress, so he spoke to Xiao Zhang.

"Then you should release them first. This matter really has nothing to do with them!"

"What I mean is to give Sha Zhu a proper interrogation and make him suffer a bit."

After a long day and night, the people in the courtyard were finally released safely. Back in the courtyard, everyone was still in shock. Since Li Chaoyang had not yet returned, everyone in the courtyard was talking about the incident.

"I have a feeling this isn't simple. I just asked Xiao Zhang if there was anything going on, but he didn't give me a straight answer."
