Siheyuan: The beginning revealed the secrets of the three uncles

The moment Wan Lijiang confessed his guilt, it seemed as if his whole life had lost its meaning.

He slumped weakly in the chair, his eyes empty and desperate, staring at Xu Damao, his eyes full of regret and self-blame.

Perhaps at this moment, he realized how serious the mistake he had made was and that he should not have offended Xu Damao so easily.

Wang Zhigang looked at Wanlijiang who pleaded guilty, his heart filled with emotion.

He turned around, looked at Xu Damao gratefully, and said:

"Old Xu, thank you so much for helping me this time! If it weren't for you, we might not have been able to find the real murderer."

As he said this, he handed Xu Damao a cigarette to express his sincere gratitude.

Xu Damao took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, then waved his hand and said:

"Hey, we're all colleagues, don't be so polite. You should know how to deal with the next thing, right?"

After saying this, he turned and left the case handling area and returned to his office.

The Municipal Public Security Bureau also found a large amount of cash in Wanlijiang's home. This money was obtained through corruption and bribery in Wanlijiang, a total of 13,000 yuan!

Because the three uncles were killed by Wan Lijiang, Wan Lijiang executed them and paid compensation.

500 yuan for each of the three uncles’ families!

Not long after, the Municipal Public Security Bureau informed the three aunts of Wan Lijiang's confession.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, plunging them into great grief.

Especially one old lady, after hearing the news, her body went limp and she fainted.

Because to her, the uncle was everything in her life, and now after suddenly learning of his death, she couldn't accept the reality.

Everything in their family depends on Yi Hai, but now that Yi Zhonghai has been killed by someone, how is she supposed to live?

Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.

In less than half a day, the news spread throughout the compound and even the entire alley.

The whole compound was in an uproar, everyone was surprised and talked about it.

"How is this possible? Wan Lijiang is the deputy director of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee. How could he do such a thing?"

"You really know people, faces but not hearts!"

However, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian always felt that something was fishy.

Although the two of them did not have much affection for their biological father, he died in such an unclear manner.

The police gave the result that the victim was murdered, which made the two of them unconvinced.

"Guangtian, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?" Yan Jiecheng looked at Liu Guangtian seriously and said with a frown.

"Well, it's indeed a bit strange." Liu Guangtian agreed, his expression also looking very solemn.

“Not long after Xu Damao went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, my father and your father disappeared, and then the three of them were killed by Wan Lijiang.

But Wanlijiang doesn’t even know our dad!" Yan Jiecheng lowered his voice, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Yes, and the most suspicious thing is, how could Xu Damao solve the case so easily?"

Liu Guangtian frowned and responded in a low voice.

Yan Jiecheng shook his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes:

"I always feel that this matter is not that simple. There must be some unspeakable secrets."

Liu Guangtian nodded, his eyes full of doubts:

"I also feel something is wrong. Although the three of us like to take advantage of others, we shouldn't offend the leaders of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee, right? There must be something fishy going on here."

The two looked at each other, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in their hearts.

"What should we do now?" Yan Jiecheng asked.

Liu Guangtian pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice: "We have to find a way to find out the truth. We can't let the three masters die in obscurity."

"Okay, then let's start the investigation from Xu Damao." Yan Jiecheng nodded in agreement.

So, the two decided to investigate the matter secretly. They first started with Xu Damao's daily whereabouts and the people he interacted with, trying to find some clues.

In the following days, they closely watched Xu Damao's every move, hoping to find clues from them.

But for the next ten days or so, Xu Damao went out early and came back late, going to work normally, and there was no clue at all.

The compound became very quiet and peaceful because of the death of the three uncles.

The relationship between neighbors in the compound has become more harmonious, and the whole atmosphere is getting better.

……

About half a month later, one day, the first aunt with a pale face went directly to the second aunt's house.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you look so grim now?"

As soon as the first aunt entered the door, the second aunt came up to her. Seeing her haggard face, she couldn't help but show concern.

"I feel like my health is getting worse and worse lately. I don't think I can hold on for much longer!"

"While I can still walk, I'll come and see you again. Now that Old Yi is gone, there's no point in me living anymore!"

The old lady said this with empty eyes, a look of complete despair on her face.

Seeing this, the second aunt couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart. She held the first aunt's hand tightly and comforted her: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. We all have to live well. Although Lao Yi is gone, we still have each other."

Auntie shook her head gently, tears rolling down her cheeks. She said slowly: "I know, but I just feel empty inside. Every night when I lie in bed, I always think of the days I spent with Lao Yi. Now that he's gone, I really don't know what to do."

The second aunt sighed and said softly, "I am the same. Since Lao Liu left, I feel like I have lost my spiritual support. But we can't just give up on life. We have to keep looking forward."

The first aunt nodded and forced a smile. She patted the back of the second aunt's hand and said:

"Thank you. I feel much better after hearing what you said."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of understanding and support for each other.

Although the years have left deep marks on them, their sincere friendship remains unchanged.

Just then, the third aunt also came to the second aunt's house with a cane.

She looked much more haggard, whereas she was so energetic before.

Now I even need a cane to walk!

"Ugh!"

"It seems like you two treat me as an outsider, as if Old Yan is still here!"

The third aunt sighed as she entered the room, and tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.

"How could we forget you? Now the three of us really share the same pain!"

"I don't know how long we three old guys can live!"

The first aunt hurriedly grabbed the third aunt's hand and said sincerely.
