Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"Stop, stop, stop, why are you howling? The police are here, tell them what's going on! If you keep howling, I will take you back to the police station for questioning!" Zhao Cheng quickly stopped Liu Haizhong from making a scene.

After hearing what Zhao Cheng said, Liu Haizhong quickly stopped crying, but he was still sobbing, making people feel as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Comrade Liu Haizhong, tell me, with whom have you made an enemy recently? It's obvious that they are here to attack you with a club well prepared! Think about it carefully!" Xiao Li stepped forward and asked.

Liu Haizhong listened to Xiao Li's words and thought carefully. "I haven't offended anyone recently. Although I often use a teaching tone to talk to the neighbors in the courtyard, it's not enough to hit me with a club! And I haven't done anything special at the factory. I just work every day and teach my apprentices. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary!"

"Report to the police comrade, I really can't remember who I offended. I am usually kind to others, united with my neighbors in the yard, and taught my apprentices seriously in the factory! I just became the team leader not long ago. Do you think someone is jealous of me and hit me with a stick?" Liu Haizhong thought he was a real person, so he spoke in a high-sounding manner.

After listening to Liu Haizhong's words, Xiao Li felt that he was not even able to play the lute to a cow. This guy was a complete fool!

Looking at Zhao Cheng, and seeing that Zhao Cheng was also holding his forehead and shaking his head, Xiao Li felt that it would be better to make a big deal out of a small matter. After all, it would be difficult to find the murderer if he was hit by a club. After all, there was no surveillance at that time, unless there were eyewitnesses at the scene.

But Xiao Li just listened around and found that except for Lao Wang next door who was the first person to see Liu Haizhong, no one else had seen Liu Haizhong before.

"Comrade Liu Haizhong, we can't investigate your case directly. You don't even know who is against you and who attacked you. Whether it's the hospital or the factory, you don't know who you have offended. We have no direction to investigate the case." Xiao Li explained patiently.

"Then I'll get hit this time?" Liu Haizhong was obviously not satisfied with Xiao Li's answer.

"Then tell me, who have you had a grudge with recently?" Xiao Li is not a stupid person. How could he listen to Liu Haizhong just because he is the victim?

Besides, fights were common at that time. If you lost and told your parents, the parents would beat you up first and then go and cause trouble for the other family, not to mention a grown man like Liu Haizhong.

"Forget it, I'll go home and think about it carefully. I'll come to see you when I remember it!" Liu Haizhong went home angrily under Xiao Li's unfriendly gaze.

"Okay, let's go. Don't you all have to go to work?" Xiao Li saw Liu Haizhong leaving, and he also dispersed the crowd and walked to Zhao Cheng.

"Director, what's going on with the bangs?" Xiao Li asked curiously.

"This guy is obsessed with power. After becoming a team leader, he spends all day yelling at this person and bossing that person around. He might offend someone with his words and get beaten with a stick. Don't pay attention to him. I guess he himself can't even find out who hit him!" Zhao Cheng waved his hand and briefly explained to Xiao Li.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. Director, you should go home quickly too! Your sister-in-law might be waiting for you for dinner at home!" Xiao Li said and left.

When Zhao Cheng returned home, Pingping was indeed waiting for him to eat.

"Why are you back so late? Is there something going on at the police station?" Pingping had taken care of the two older children and was feeding the younger one. She asked casually when she saw Zhao Cheng come in.

"Don't mention it. I saw a commotion in the public toilet in the alley. Liu Haizhong went out to use the toilet in the middle of the night and was beaten with a club. He was only discovered this morning!" Zhao Cheng said to Wei Dong and Wei Hong and then replied.

"Ah? Has Liu Haizhong offended someone again?" Pingping was a little surprised.

"What you said is true. Isn't it common for Liu Haizhong to offend people? With his temper, I don't think it's strange at all." Zhao Cheng picked up the bowl and started eating.

"Yeah, I had a quarrel with He Daqing in the yard yesterday!" Pingping said casually.

"What happened? Why did you quarrel with He Daqing?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"I heard it was because of Sha Zhu. It seemed that Sha Zhu shook the spoon when Liu Haizhong was getting lunch at noon, so he didn't eat enough. Sha Zhu didn't live in the yard, so he quarreled with He Daqing. Liu Haizhong said that Sha Zhu brought lunch boxes out of the steel mill every day, which was stealing, and that this was completely taught by He Daqing. He said that He Daqing used to steal vegetables home when he worked in the restaurant!" Pingping explained briefly.

"Come on, it's not unfair that Liu Haizhong was hit with the stick. It must have been He Daqing who hit him!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"He Daqing has a strong sense of revenge. He hit Liu Haizhong with a club in the middle of the night after we had a quarrel?" Pingping asked.

"What's the big deal? Do you think He Daqing is an easy person to deal with? He is an old scoundrel! Otherwise, why are so many people in the courtyard afraid of him?" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"Oh, why are the people in this courtyard so interesting? It feels like watching a play every day, and every day is different!" Pingping put the third guard down and went to serve the food herself.

"You'll get used to it. Otherwise, why would I live here? Isn't it just to see the excitement every day? Otherwise, life will be less fun!" Zhao Cheng said with a sneer.

After the family finished their meal, Pingping took Weidong and Weihong to kindergarten, while Zhao Cheng stayed at home to wash up and take care of the third child Wei Jun while taking a rest.

I hardly slept yesterday. I didn’t have a bed at work, so it was a bit tiring to sleep on the table.

After Pingping came back, Zhao Cheng continued to go to work. He would have a good sleep tonight. After all, sleep must be sound and comfortable at night. Staying up late and sleeping during the day will not make up for it.

Zhao Cheng didn't go on patrol today, but the instructor and deputy director Li Qianjin did. Zhao Cheng decided it wouldn't be a big deal. Aside from the chaos caused by the children of the big courtyards growing up, the rest of the people in this area are just ordinary people. Who would bother causing trouble all day?

Zhao Cheng took a break in the office that morning, and then went out for a stroll after lunch. After all, he still needed to familiarize himself with the area, and the alleys here were much more complicated than those at the intersection. There was a planned old city there, but not here, so apart from the main roads, the alleys were a mess.

Zhao Cheng only walked less than one-tenth of the alleys in the afternoon, mainly because there were too many forks in the road, and he had to go through many dead ends again.

"Damn, why are there so many illegal constructions? And many alley branches have been blocked and turned into courtyards! If I weren't familiar with the area, it would be easy to get lost when trying to catch someone!" Zhao Cheng complained as he rode around on the instructor's bicycle.

"Stop! I told you to stop, do you hear me?" Just as Zhao Cheng walked into a fork in the road, a loud shout came from the alley, followed by the sound of dense footsteps.
