Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Seeing that something was not right, Jia Dongxu left the steel mill without eating. He ran all the way back to the courtyard in just over ten minutes.

"Dongxu, why are you back?!" Qin Huairu, who was washing things by the sink, was slightly stunned when she saw Jia Dongxu suddenly come back, and asked casually.

A middle-aged woman heard the noise and came out of the house. Jia Dongxu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master's wife! Something big has happened! Master has been taken away by the police!"

"What?!" The old lady's legs went weak and she sat down on the doorstep, muttering to herself, "How is this possible?! How is this possible?!"

Jia Dongxu hurriedly helped the old lady up and said, "Master's wife, I just came back to report the news. I have to go to work in the afternoon. I'm leaving first! Take care of yourself!" After that, Jia Dongxu gave Qin Huairu a look that told her to take good care of the old lady.

Qin Huairu nodded silently, and without washing her things, she walked to the side of the aunt and advised: "Auntie, the uncle is such a good person, nothing will happen to him. If you are really worried, you can go to the police station to ask."

"Yes! I can go and ask!" After saying that, the aunt came back to her senses, said hello to Qin Huairu, closed the door, and hurriedly left the courtyard.

After the lady left, Qin Huairu realized that Jia Dongxu had made too much noise. He had attracted all the unemployed old men and women who were eating idle meals at home. In addition, Jia Dongxu's voice was loud. All of them knew that Yi Zhonghai had been taken away by the police.

Listening to the neighbors' chatter, Qin Huairu's brows furrowed instantly. She didn't feel like washing anything, so she took the basin and went home directly. After closing the door, Qin Huairu put the basin on the table, sat down on the chair, and began to think about it.

Since marrying into the Jia family, Jia Zhang has been on guard against Qin Huairu and has been very tight on money. No matter if Qin Huairu has other ways to make money, it is Yi Zhonghai. When Qin Huairu first married into the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai gave Qin Huairu five yuan a month. Since Qin Huairu gave birth to a stick, five yuan a month has been increased to ten yuan. Ten yuan a month is a huge sum of money for Qin Huairu. If Yi Zhonghai gets into trouble, not only will the ten yuan a month be gone, but life will be difficult if no one helps in this courtyard.

Just when Qin Huairu was worried about losing the ten yuan she would make every month, Yi Zhonghai was taken to the interrogation room by the police. Sitting on the interrogation chair, Yi Zhonghai showed a good-natured expression on his face and asked, "Comrade, why did you bring me here?!"

Shen Dong asked, "Yi Zhonghai, do you know He Daqing?!"

Yi Zhonghai replied, "I know him! He lived in the same courtyard as me. But he left his two children and went away with the widow a few years ago."

Shen Dong then asked: "After he left, did he still have contact with your hospital?!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard that the police were asking about He Daqing, he thought that something must have happened to He Daqing, and he immediately relaxed and said, "After he left, he didn't contact the hospital again."

Shen Dong asked with a smile: "Are you sure he didn't contact anyone in the hospital?!"

Yi Zhonghai answered categorically: "No!" Then he asked cautiously: "Comrade, is there something wrong with He Daqing?!"

"Bang!" Pang Qi slammed the table heavily and said, "You are still not honest!"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Comrade, I am telling the truth."

Shen Dong sneered, "Truth? I think you are full of lies!" Shen Dong shook the record in his hand and said, "This is the delivery record of the post office. The name of the recipient is written on it. Why would He Daqing let you receive something he sent to his son?!"

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, and he said hastily, "He Yuzhu was busy, so I collected the items for him. After receiving them, I gave them to him."

Shen Dong said: "Yi Zhonghai, think about it carefully. What you said just now is inconsistent with what you said now! Shouldn't you explain it to me?!"

Yi Zhonghai felt a chill on his back, and cold sweat ran down his temples. Yi Zhonghai looked at Shen Dong at a loss and said, "Comrade, it's been too long. I forgot!"

"Forgot?! You are really young and your memory is not that good?! You just went to the post office to get the money and forgot it as soon as you turned around. You are really forgetful!" After saying that, Shen Dong lit a cigarette and stared at Yi Zhonghai, as if he could see through Yi Zhonghai's thoughts at a glance, and then said: "You are really amazing! In just a few years, you actually embezzled nearly 2,000 yuan from others! Others are seeking money, but you are trying to kill for money!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the words "murder for money", he hurriedly defended himself: "Comrade, listen to my excuse, it's not right! Listen to my explanation! I didn't murder for money. I just thought they were too young to take so much money. I saved it for them. I'll give it to them when they get married!"

Pang Qi and Shen Dong looked at each other and laughed, "What a quibble! Yi Zhonghai, before we went to arrest you, we had already consulted the street office and the neighbors around the courtyard. In addition, you may not have thought that You Dajiang confessed that you colluded with him to resell He Daqing's workstation."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. A notice was just posted in the factory today about You Dajiang. Yi Zhonghai saw the notice and thought that as long as You Dajiang died, no one would know about his reselling of He Daqing's workstation. He didn't expect You Dajiang to explain this matter. The money issue was easy to explain. But the workstation issue was not easy to fool.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai kept his head down and said nothing, Shen Dong and Pang Qi didn't want to talk to him any more, so they asked Yi Zhonghai to put his fingerprints on the interrogation record and then took him out of the interrogation room.

On the other hand, when Yi Zhonghai was brought into the interrogation room, an old lady rushed to the police station.

"Hello, comrade! My name is Zhao Guixiang and I'm Yi Zhonghai's wife. I heard that my husband was arrested by you. What's going on? When will he be released?!" An old lady walked into the reception hall and told the police officer in charge her purpose without waiting for him to ask.

The police officer in charge of receiving the guests checked the records and said, "Yi Zhonghai's case is still under investigation. We won't know the details until the investigation is completed. Since you are here, we won't notify you. Please bring some clothes and quilts to Yi Zhonghai later. Also, try not to go out recently. We will come back to find you if there is anything."

"Hey!" The auntie responded, and she didn't dare to stay in the police station any longer, fearing that something unexpected might happen. She went back to discuss with the deaf old lady first, and then think of other ways.

When the auntie returned to the courtyard and stepped into the middle courtyard, she saw the deaf old lady sitting at her door. The auntie ran to the deaf old lady in two steps as if she saw a savior and said, "Old lady, please save Zhonghai!"

The deaf old lady said very calmly: "Let's go inside and talk!"

"Hey!" An old lady immediately opened the door and helped the deaf old lady into the house.

After helping the deaf old lady to sit on the chair, the aunt couldn't wait to tell her what she had found out. After listening to the aunt's story, the deaf old lady frowned and said, "Mr. Yi, you went there for so long and didn't find anything useful?!"
