Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

"Officer, I'm sorry I misunderstood. I will withdraw my report. You can go on with your business." Xu Damao almost begged.

Li Han asked coldly, "Da Mao, the police are not people you can order around whenever you want. Do you think the police station is a playground that you can expel at will?"

Xu Damao was speechless and had no answer.

Then Li Han came up with a new trick: "Officer, I have decided to sue Xu Damao for deliberate framing.

You just witnessed all of this, so the evidence should be sufficient, right?"

This made Officer Cheng confirm: "No problem, I saw it with my own eyes, and the neighbors around are all witnesses."

The expressions of all the residents became more solemn; this dispute was not over yet.

When Xu Damao was named as an eyewitness by the police, he could no longer defend Liu Haizhong.

In the past, he and Liu Haizhong had planned to frame Li Han, but now that Li Han was going to report him, Liu Haizhong immediately retreated into the crowd and became invisible. "Officer, this is just a misunderstanding, we don't want to make a big deal out of it."

Xu Damao had a bitter expression.

Officer Cheng said in a stern tone: "Making a big fuss? Why did you report it to the police? And then accused Li Han by name? Now it is proved that the chicken was not stolen by Li Han, but he turned around and accused you of framing him.

"With witnesses and physical evidence, you still want to deny it?"

Xu Damao suddenly looked very embarrassed.

I originally hoped that Liu Haizhong could say something for me, but he had already disappeared somewhere. "Uncle Ah-Da..."

Xu Damao looked to Yi Zhonghai for help.

Yi Zhonghai stopped Xu Damao and told him not to make further provocations, but he did not expect that when Li Han accused Xu Damao of defamation, Yi Zhonghai did not stand up to defend him.

So Xu Damao decided to go for broke. "Anyway, I smelled the aroma of chicken soup from the old lady's room, so I said she stole it, to prove that my chicken was really lost, and to reduce my punishment."

In fact, his chickens were hidden, not lost.

But it doesn't matter, "the key is to let someone else take the blame"

, he believed that the deaf old lady could not clear herself of suspicion.

"Officer Cheng, I am not slandering you. There are indeed chickens missing from my home, and many people can testify to that.

I bought it yesterday. It was there before I went to bed last night, but it disappeared in the morning..."

He changed his testimony and tried to put the blame on the deaf old lady. "Just now I thought it was Li Han who cooked it, but now I wonder if it was the deaf old lady..."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face darkened and he said excitedly, "Xu Damao, you are like a mad dog biting people randomly.

Just now she was pointing at Li Han, but now she is the old lady? Your false accusation skills are becoming more and more perfect.

Just because the chicken is gone, does that mean she must have stolen it? Give me evidence."

Zhuzi also agreed, and could not tolerate Xu Damao slandering the deaf and mute old lady like that.

When they were asked to produce evidence, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were speechless. Naturally, they could not produce any proof.

Officer Cheng said: "I am going to force my way into the old lady's room to check if there are any signs of chicken soup being cooked."

He decided not to wait for a reply and just wait for the door to open.

Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu looked at each other, not daring to move.

Officer Cheng had no choice but to act on his own.

After gently pushing the door open, he spoke:

"Excuse me?"

The deaf-mute old lady was awakened by the sound and looked confused.

“Old lady, please don’t be afraid. I am Officer Cheng from the Dongzhimen Police Station. I received a report that a chicken was stolen, and your room smelled of stewed chicken.

According to the procedure, I need to confirm whether you have cooked. "

Officer Cheng explained to the old man.

The old lady was completely confused and had no idea about the concept of stewing chicken.

Chicken stew? She had indeed been looking forward to it, but the problem was, where could she get the chicken?

At this moment, a rich smell of chicken soup rushed into her nose, and the old lady couldn't help but praise: "What a nice smell, it's really a pot of delicious chicken soup!"

She took slow steps and looked into the pot.

There was indeed a pot of steaming, mouth-watering chicken soup in the pot! Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and others gathered in front of the door, and they almost cried when they saw the scene in front of them.

They were shocked and murmured to themselves: "How...how could this be...how could the old lady stew a chicken? Where did the chicken come from?"

Chapter 156 The Mystery of Chicken Soup

That pot of real chicken soup is there, and no one can argue with it.

"Where did the chicken soup come from? Did anyone send it to me?" The deaf old lady expressed surprise.

Officer Cheng did not target individuals when dealing with the matter itself.

"Old lady, you do have chicken soup at home, but where does the chicken come from?"

The deaf old lady confessed: "I have no idea. After I went to bed last night, I still don't know where the chicken came from and I have no idea what's going on."

“If you can’t explain, I will suspect that you stole Xu Damao’s chicken.

Let's go to the police station and find out, okay?"

"I didn't do anything wrong, why are you checking me? I won't go!" the deaf old lady insisted.

"Old lady, as long as the investigation proves that you did not steal the chicken, we will let you go home immediately." Officer Cheng explained patiently.

"No, I am innocent. Even if I didn't do it, I won't incriminate myself!" The old lady was very reluctant to be investigated.

Li Han heard this conversation outside the door and became more and more certain about the old lady's resistance. He was sure that there was something wrong with her, which was why she refuted so fiercely.

"Old lady, please cooperate. As long as the investigation rules out you as the one who stole the chicken, we will let you go immediately." Officer Cheng further persuaded.

"I will never go! There is no reason that can convince me! I am an old man who takes care of orphans. During the war, I even helped make shoes for the army. How could I be a thief! And how could that chicken soup be from my house!"

The old lady looked kind, but her words were firm.

Officer Cheng has been handling cases for many years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a difficult case.

He exchanged glances with his teammates and prepared to take forceful measures to take him away.

However, the deaf old lady knew it very well and tripped herself on purpose.

He fell on his butt and was unconscious.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately ran forward and helped the unconscious old man up.

"Old lady, what's wrong with you?"

Lying on the ground motionless.

"Zhu Zi, send him to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately!" Without saying a word, Sha Zhu carried the old man and rushed to the hospital.

Officer Cheng was at a loss as to what to do and had to ask his teammates to go with him.

He stayed in the courtyard and explained:

"Everyone, please be calm. An accident just happened. The old lady fell and fainted. She is being sent to the hospital for treatment." He looked apologetic.

"This deaf old lady is really difficult to deal with." Li Han snorted in his heart. Looking at the scene just now, it was no different from the scene when he borrowed a bicycle before. It was obvious that she was pretending to be unconscious.

That half pot of chicken soup was actually put into the deaf old lady's pot using a space transmission card. He originally thought that he could use this opportunity to use the authority of the police to put pressure on the old lady and thus uncover the secret of her whereabouts. Now it seems that his efforts were in vain.

The deaf old lady would probably never say a word unless she was pushed into a corner, or even risk her life to resist.

"This old fox, conventional methods don't work on her."

Li Han clearly realized that if he wanted to deal with this old lady, he needed to take a more direct approach.

Let’s put the deaf old lady aside for now, but he will never show mercy to Xu Damao.

At this time, seeing the development of the situation, Xu Damao was secretly happy that the old lady might not be able to escape this disaster this time.

Although the old lady holds an important position, even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry.

"Officer Cheng, you see, this chicken soup must have been stolen from me.

Now that I know why I lost my chickens, please set your sights on the deaf old lady.

As for the Li Han incident, it was a complete misunderstanding. I am willing to apologize for this matter, and you can handle it."

Xu Damao took the opportunity to clear himself.

He found the scapegoat who had suffered for him, so naturally he tried his best to clear himself of responsibility.

"Officer Cheng, let Xu Damao apologize to Li Han."

Liu Hai surfaced again and interjected.

The two of them had originally planned a conspiracy against Li Han together. Now that Li Han has a chance to turn things around, Liu Haishang naturally does not want to fall behind.

Officer Cheng asked, "It depends on whether Comrade Li Han is willing to accept it."

Xu Damao and Liu Haishang both looked surprised.

Asking them to convince Li Han to admit it is harder than climbing to the sky.

Residents nearby had little hope.

After all, the Banggeng case happened not long ago, and the final conclusion was not favorable to the victim, which made everyone feel that nothing could be done.

Especially Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, when they recalled the night when Banggeng was arrested, their faces were full of dissatisfaction and worry.

"Li Han, I apologize to you. I was the one who mistrusted you at first."

Xu Damao spoke with gritted teeth.

They always have to try, hoping for a miracle.

"Apologize? Xu Damao, you are slandering someone, don't try to divert attention."

"I don't think the fact that the old lady stole your chickens means her chickens are of clean origin."

Li Han’s words are thought-provoking.

Xu Damao responded: "Li Han, what you mean is, if the old lady didn't have her chicken, then where did she get this chicken from?"

Li Han went on to say: “It no longer matters where her chicken comes from.

The key point is that what you said was lost was a hen, but what was in the old lady’s pot was a rooster.”

"Look, that bright red comb is right on the top of the pot. Whose could it be if not the rooster's?"

Everyone looked towards the old lady's kitchen, and sure enough, there was a comb at the top, which was clearly the characteristic of a big rooster.

"Xu Damao did say just now that he bought the chicken for laying eggs. However, if the rooster in the pot is really a rooster, it shouldn't have come from Xu Damao's family."

The discussion among the crowd became more and more heated.

"That's right. Anyway, where did Xu Damao's chickens go?"

Everyone felt that this turn of events was too bizarre and expressed their doubts.

Xu Damao's face turned pale and his eyes were as cold as frost.

The crime had originally been successfully pinned on the old lady, but Li Han's rebuttal broke the balance, causing the case to come to a stalemate.

"Officer Cheng, even if the old lady didn't steal it, there must be someone else who did.

The fact that my chicken is gone is clear, right?

Xu Damao brought the focus back to the starting point.

Li Han's heart moved slightly. He used his bird-controlling ability to control the hidden chicken to crow in the enclosure behind the house. The sound was clearly audible.
