Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"Except for the first two months when life was a bit difficult and I sent five dollars a month, the rest was ten dollars a month! The total is one thousand and ten!"

"So much!" He Yuzhu said in surprise. He had been working for four or five years and had only saved three or four hundred yuan. Without Chen Zhiguo's help, he would not be able to hold a wedding!

"Aunt Bai, is there any problem over there?"

"No, she and I are not married. I asked her to come with me, but she was worried about the two children and didn't want to come with me!" Bai Qiuju is a good woman, but she is worried about the children. He Daqing can also see that these two children are not good people either. They are addicted to gambling. This is a good opportunity to end it all so as to avoid being dragged down by them in the future!

He Daqing was very quick and efficient. He reported the case in the morning, and in the afternoon, a police officer came to talk to He Yuzhu. After understanding the situation, He Yuzhu cried bitterly! The police officer who came to understand the situation was also filled with righteous indignation. By the time he finished talking, the news that Yi Zhonghai was arrested by the police had spread throughout the factory!

In the interrogation room of the police station, "I am an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill. What rights do you have to arrest me?"

"No matter how high your rank is, you must be arrested if you commit a crime!" the interrogating police officer said calmly!

Colleagues who knew about the situation reported it after returning. Everyone who heard it was angry. A boy of sixteen or seventeen years old with a six or seven-year-old sister was already having a hard time, but he actually embezzled other people's living expenses. Doesn't this go against conscience?

The police officer's calmness made Yi Zhonghai's incompetent roar ineffective, and he gradually calmed down!

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was in a stable mood, the interrogation officially began. As the official interrogation ended, the interrogating police began to get down to business.

"What were you doing last Saturday?"

"I didn't do anything. I was working in a steel mill!"

"Think about it before you answer. Think carefully!"

"I have indeed been at work and went home as soon as I got off work! I didn't do anything!" Yi Zhonghai was shocked, but he quickly denied himself, no way!

"Since you refuse to explain the problem, I will mark it in the interrogation record!"

The police officer then took out a receipt and asked, "Is this your signature?"

Chapter 126 The wealthy Yi Zhonghai!

Yi Zhonghai panicked. The thing he feared most had happened!

Does Yi Zhonghai lack money? No, on the contrary, he is very rich. Because he has no children, Yi Zhonghai has been saving money for his retirement!

He Daqing's money was dispensable to him, but just to control He Yuzhu and get his favor, Yi Zhonghai kept the money!

Wasn't he worried? He was worried! But the peace and tranquility of these years also made him lose his vigilance! He thought He Daqing would live out his life in a foreign land, and Sha Zhu would listen to him.

In fact, he also had a backup plan. He made up a very good excuse for his behavior. The child was still young and unstable. If I gave the money to him, he would spend it in confusion. I will save it for him and give it to him when he gets married!

However, the timing He Daqing chose was really good, or rather, the gears of fate were no longer tilted in his favor. He Yuzhu had already gotten married, and Yi Zhonghai's embezzled money was still in his hands! He was using that seemingly perfect reason to defend himself, but it had expired and was no longer valid. Who would believe it?

Did I forget about the money? I picked up the money from the post office on Saturday, and He Yuzhu got married on Sunday! This explanation is not acceptable!

Yi Zhonghai found that he had thought of countless reasons to excuse himself, but in the end he still had no way to explain why the money was still in his hands! He couldn't think of a better reason to explain his behavior, so he could only lower his head in silence and resist with silence!

"Tell me! How much money have you taken in these years?"

"I didn't count it, I hid all the money in a tin box under the bricks in the kitchen!

The interrogation was over quickly, as long as the facts were clear. At around eight o'clock in the evening, five police officers arrived at the courtyard!

"Comrade, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" Yan Bugui saw that the policeman's legs were a little weak and trembling!

"Where does Yi Zhonghai live?" asked a middle-aged policeman who led the team.

Hearing that they were not looking for him, Yan Bugui felt relieved. Tonight, Yi Zhonghai's matter had been widely reported, and now the police had come to his house, it seemed that the matter must be serious. He muttered in his heart, but his hands were not slow. He pointed at the Moon Gate and said, "He lives in the middle courtyard. I will take you there!"

Yi Zhonghai's house was dark, and the aunt was not at home. She went to the backyard to look for Old Lady Long. She was a housewife who had never been out of the house except to buy groceries in recent years. She didn't know anyone at all. Who could she ask for help? The only person she could ask was the deaf old lady in the backyard!

The deaf old lady was also very anxious. Yi Zhonghai was her only elderly care provider so far. If something happened to him, what would she do in the future?

In the past, there was Sha Zhu in front of her, and she could choose one of the two, but ever since the incident with He Yu Shui became a problem, Sha Zhu gradually distanced himself from her!

She hadn't figured out how to ease the relationship with Sha Zhu yet, but she didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would get into trouble again. How could she not be anxious and angry!

"Don't cry! What's the point of crying? Can you make Zhonghai come back? Come with me tomorrow morning! Let's go to the police station to ask about the situation first. You don't know anything, what's the use of you!" The deaf old lady said coldly. If the matter is serious, for the sake of her future retirement, this last bit of kindness will have to be used. That's all! As long as Yi Zhonghai can come back, it's fine!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Auntie, are you here? The police are outside looking for you!"

Yan Bugui didn't want to meet the deaf old lady. He felt that this old lady was not an ordinary person and it would be best not to provoke her. He didn't even want to talk to her!

"Here they come! Here they come!" Aunt Chen Wanyi quickly stood up and was about to walk out!

"Why are you panicking? Help me up and let me go see what's going on!" The deaf old lady was not panicked. It was good that she came. She could ask about the situation so that she wouldn't have to make another trip tomorrow. It was troublesome for this old lady with bound feet to go out. She couldn't walk for a long time because her feet couldn't take it!

Just when the police were getting impatient, an old lady came out from the backyard supporting a deaf old lady!

"Comrade, what happened in Zhonghai?"

"It is inconvenient to announce the case now. Once the investigation is completed, we will notify your family members when there is a result!" The leading police officer took out a search warrant and said, "This is the search warrant. We are going to search Yi Zhonghai's residence now!"

The old lady was illiterate and could only nod her head when she saw the big red seal on it.

"Young comrade, I know both your Director Zhang. Can you tell me about Yi Zhonghai's situation?"

"Old lady, it's not convenient to reveal it now, so please don't ask!" The whole street knows the director, and everyone can say that he is his friend. If there is really a connection, go find him yourself!

The police officer seemed polite, but still rejected Mrs. Long!

"Search!" Except for the middle-aged policeman who was still standing outside the door, the other four policemen began a carpet search of Yi Zhonghai's house!

Soon, the iron box in the corner of the kitchen was dug out, and at the same time, things were found in the room, on the beams, in the closet, and under the floor tiles.

At this time, the residents of the courtyard who heard the news and came to watch were talking about it, saying all kinds of things!

"Comrade, I am the boss of this compound. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"We're going to check the registration later, could you please provide a certificate?"

"Okay! Okay!" If we talk about Yi Zhonghai being arrested, the happiest person would be Liu Haizhong. For so many years, Liu Haizhong has been suppressed by Yi Zhonghai, and his life was really frustrating. Yi Zhonghai had the final say in everything, and he had to see whether Yi Zhonghai was happy or not to make a statement!

After great difficulties, Yi Zhonghai's status as an uncle was revoked by the street, but Liu Haizhong still could not have the final say in the courtyard like Yi Zhonghai. He always suspected that Yi Zhonghai was still secretly winning over people's hearts and minds to fight against him!

Now that Yi Zhonghai has been arrested, Liu Haizhong feels as if the clouds have cleared and the sun is shining. Good days are about to come!

So when the police came, he actively stepped forward to help, very much like Lao Yi. You feel the same way today!

After the search, there were boxes of various sizes and five or six jars lying outside!

The aunt knew what was in some of these things, as they had saved their retirement money! But she had no idea what was in some of them!

The police officer asked a middle-aged woman to come forward and asked, "Do you know what is in these things?"

"This, this, and this, I know that they contain the money we saved for retirement! What's in the others, I don't know!" The aunt honestly told what she knew!

"How much money do you know is in there?"

"There are five thousand here, there are five thousand here, this is the money I saved in the past two or three years, two thousand yuan!" The words of the aunt shocked the onlookers. Is she so rich? Ten thousand yuan household!

Yi Zhonghai's salary was already high, and he also did some private work when he had nothing to do and lived frugally, so it was normal for him to save so much money. The minimum living standard was five yuan, which was enough for a couple to eat, so the expenses were very low!

The police first opened the box pointed out by the old lady and checked and counted it. Liu Haizhong stood by and watched as a witness!

Soon, the total amount was 12,000 yuan. The lady was right! But there were still two iron boxes and a jar that had not been checked!

The first thing to be opened was the iron box that Yi Zhonghai confessed to hiding He Yushui's living expenses, one thousand and ten yuan! It matched the amount reported by He Daqing!

When they opened the boxes one after another, they found money everywhere. So everyone was wondering if there was still money in the remaining iron boxes?

The blind box was opened, and the last iron box contained not only money but also jade bracelets, rings, hairpins and other jewelry! The police asked the old lady, "Do you recognize these things?"

"I know them. These are my dowry. Before coming to Yanjing, he told me that they were stolen. It turned out that he hid them!" Auntie cried. These jewelry were her dowry given to her by her mother. When they came to Yanjing City, there was chaos and disorder. After Yi Zhonghai escaped from the chaos, he told her that the package of jewelry was lost. Although Auntie was sad, she was lucky to be alive! She didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai had changed his mind since he was young. This is what made Chen Wanyi saddest! She was deceived for so many years. She obeyed her in everything and served him every day. Auntie felt more and more sad, and her heart was cold!

For the last jar, the police opened the thick kraft paper seal and under the light of the flashlight, they saw big yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, and Yuan Datou!

After counting, I found three thousand dollars, twenty small yellow croakers and ten large yellow croakers!

This stunned the crowd, and the discussion in the crowd became louder. Yi Zhonghai was not a millionaire! He was a wealthy man! Did he steal it? Did he rob it? Or was it inherited from his ancestors? Aren't his family poor peasants? How could he have all these things? He actually had all these things. He had so much money, but he couldn't eat good food every day. Is this the sadness of not having children? There were all kinds of speculations and jealousy!

"Do you know these things?" the police officer asked Chen Wanyi.

"I don't know. I never knew there were these things at home!" Chen Wanyi was also confused. When did Yi Zhonghai get these things?

The deaf old lady felt dizzy. She recognized it! She had buried it under the big table in the living room. She didn't know when Yi Zhonghai stole it. Yi Zhonghai was such a heartless person. He really raised a white-eyed wolf. He even started to steal from her!

The deaf old lady's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. She tightly grasped the cane in her hand to support herself, "Hold steady! Nothing can happen now, otherwise you might be exposed!"

Seeing that Chen Wanyi was also unclear about the sources of these things, the police could only register them all and then ask Chen Wanyi to sign to confirm that He Daqing's money had to be returned, and Yi Zhonghai's normal income also had to be returned. Even if the sources of these things were unknown, Yi Zhonghai had to be carefully interrogated about them. Was there any other case involved?

The crowd dispersed, and the courtyard was bustling tonight. It was estimated that no one would go to bed early tonight. Everyone would talk about Yi Zhonghai, especially the stacks of banknotes, which made people jealous! Envy! Greedy! And at the same time, regretful!

Chapter 127 An old lady’s panic!

"Your master has so much money, but he treats you like this. He is such a stingy old man. Our family is already in such a difficult situation, but he doesn't help us at all. He is such a miser!" Jia Zhang said angrily. When she saw the stacks of money, she felt so regretful!

There was a good chance that the money was hers, but she had avoided it perfectly!

Jia Zhang wanted to slap herself twice! My money! It's all mine. I can live a life of luxury and comfort. That's enough for you. Why am I so stupid? I'm obsessed with evil. Jia Zhang really wanted to slap herself twice!

At that time, when Old Jia had just left and she was struggling to make ends meet with her children, Yi Zhonghai found her and negotiated a deal that she couldn't even talk about. In order to survive, Jia Zhang chose to bow her head, but Jia Zhang had her own cleverness, so she didn't fall for it! But now it seems that her cleverness has made her lose a gold mine!

Chen Zhiguo and Auntie didn’t know whether there were still people in the Siheyuan who regretted their actions. But tonight, there were many people in the Siheyuan who were tossing and turning and couldn’t sleep!

After the deaf old lady was helped back home, she sat on the chair all the time! Her things were stolen, but she didn't dare to ask for them back. You can imagine how aggrieved she was, but that was not the point. The fear in her heart made her feel uneasy! What if Yi Zhonghai confessed? How should I face it? My identity that I have hidden for so many years will be exposed!

In the dim light, the deaf old lady sat alone. From outside, perhaps people thought that the elderly, too old to sleep! Or they might feel sorry that the old lady was alone in her last days, without even a person to talk to!

But who can understand the anxiety and fear in the heart of the deaf old lady? Save her? Or not?

Yi Zhonghai is a very well-disguised ungrateful person, full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, respect for the elderly and love for the young. I have seen through his hypocrisy, and the two of us just get what we need from each other. He needs me to be his role model and background, and I also need someone to serve me!

But what she didn't expect was that Yi Zhonghai was so bold that he dared to steal her things before she was dead. What did she need such a servant for?

The deaf old lady was so angry that she wanted to give up Yi Zhonghai, the abandoned child! Although it was not clear what Yi Zhonghai had done wrong, it could be seen from today's scene that it was not a small matter. So first of all, could Yi Zhonghai come out safely? The old lady already had the answer in her mind. It was hanging!

Calculating the few connections she had left, the deaf old lady felt distressed. It was true that the more she used them, the less her favors would become. However, if Yi Zhonghai felt hopeless, would he bite her out for merit? When the deaf old lady recalled the years she had spent with Yi Zhonghai, did she reveal any flaws? She should save him. No matter if it worked or not, she should get the message across first and calm his heart!

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was also struggling. After completing the search, the police officers went back and reported this important discovery. Fearing that there might be other cases, the leader arranged an overnight interrogation to get to the bottom of the matter!

The money seized from Yi Zhonghai's house is mainly divided into four parts. One part is the living expenses sent by He Daqing to He Yushui. This part has been matched, and the amount is completely matched! This part can be returned after the case is closed. The poor girl has not felt her father's love for so many years!

One part is Yi Zhonghai's pension money. Although the amount is huge, the authenticity of these can be determined by investigating Yi Zhonghai's income! If it is true, this part also needs to be returned. This is legitimate income!

Part of it was his wife's dowry, which he secretly hid. This needed to be confirmed by Yi Zhonghai. Because of the long time, Chen Wanyi could not provide any favorable evidence to prove that these jewellery were hers, even if she could describe in detail what the jewellery was and what materials it was made of!

The last part is the most crucial. Where do Yi Zhonghai’s gold and oceans come from?

Yi Zhonghai confessed everything else honestly, but he kept silent about the gold and the ocean, saying that he didn't know there were such jars in his home!

Yi Zhonghai was also struggling in his heart. Should he confess or not? What good would it be if he confessed? Would he be able to redeem himself for meritorious service? He had also stolen from the deaf old lady, so he shouldn't add to his crime!
