Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

"If you live in my house, you have to accept the discipline. Otherwise, you can either live in the old house and I will find a nanny to take care of you; or choose a nursing home." Zhang Yu said firmly, his tone sounding like he was making a condition.

"This is a threat. You know I don't like the old house, but you still bring it up." Su Daqiang said angrily.

Zhang Yu stood up and faced Su Daqiang: "Then I'd like you to tell me in person why you are afraid of the old house? After all, it is where you have lived your whole life."

Su Daqiang shrank his neck, looked around, and showed fear: "There is... a ghost there! I keep seeing... a figure."

This even confused Su Mingyu.

"Dad, why are you afraid of ghosts? Why are you afraid of Mom?" Su Yu couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Su Mingcheng felt something strange. He had never thought about it from that angle before, but when Zhang Yu mentioned it today, the more he thought about it, the colder he felt in his heart, and he became terrified.

Su Daqiang was equally shocked as he looked at his three children, his lips trembling, "You actually thought I did it on purpose...?"

Zhang Yu responded coldly: "There are many suspicious points behind the accident, and some of your mother's behaviors after her death make me believe it." Su Daqiang's expression became more serious, his anger gradually rose, and his eyes were filled with flames.

He asked angrily: "Su Mingzhe, if you really suspect your biological father, why don't you just call the police and hear what they say!" His voice was harsh with anger.

"If you don't explain clearly, I will do it for you!" Zhang Yu's eyes were equally cold and resolute.

Su Daqiang was completely annoyed. He took out his cell phone tremblingly and said, "You don't have to. I'll call 110 myself." Then he dialed the number, obviously full of hatred.

Seeing this, Su Mingyu instinctively wanted to stop it, but seeing Zhang Yu's cold eyes, she hesitated and said nothing. Zhang Yu said to his two younger siblings in a firm tone: "I have been enduring for a long time. If this matter is not resolved, I will not be able to sleep or eat. If the fault lies with my father, I am willing to apologize and fulfill my responsibility of supporting him."

Zhu Li interrupted and said worriedly: "Brother, it is inappropriate to bring this matter to the police station, right? We have to consider the issue of face!" Zhang Yu did not respond to his sister's consolation, but turned to Su Mingcheng:

"You think so, too?"

Su Mingcheng showed a tangled expression, hesitating, looking at Zhao Meilan's photo as if seeking inner guidance. At this moment, the finger pressing the alarm button stopped, and his heart was filled with frustration.

The phone rang, but Su Daqiang didn't hang up for a long time. Seeing Zhang Yu pick up his phone to report the case, the disappointment in his heart was like a cold knife piercing his heart.

The sound of sirens rang outside the old house, and at that moment, Su Daqiang showed fear for the first time. Two police officers walked into the house and saw Zhang Yu took the initiative to tell all the details.

The police officers were also in a dilemma. The suspicion and conflict between parents and children was a moral dilemma, and there was a lack of direct evidence of a crime. Generally speaking, they would tend to mediate and would not actually detain Su Daqiang.

Liu Jinsong is the sheriff of Tongdeli District. He has served the community for 20 years and is a dedicated and responsible policeman. Today, he and his partner received a dispatch order to rush to a case of domestic violence. At first, they thought it was just a common family dispute.

After arriving at the scene, Liu Jinsong found that the case was much more complicated than expected. The children suspected that their biological father might have hurt their mother. This was an ethically broken and heartbreaking situation. And it was the suspect himself who called the police.

After learning about what happened, Liu Jinsong had a headache. He separated the suspect's three children from him and asked his colleagues to conduct preliminary inquiries while he went to talk to Su Daqiang in detail.

He asked seriously: "Su Daqiang, why did you report it to the police? Was it because of the children's coercion or was there something else going on?" Su Daqiang was filled with anger: "I want the police to make a fair judgment! I want to see what my three rebellious children have done!"

Liu Jinsong responded helplessly: "The police are not the judges and cannot determine whether a crime has been committed. Your behavior is wasting police resources, do you know that?"

Facing the strong suspect who lacked legal knowledge, Su Daqiang's momentum weakened. He didn't mean to offend the police expert, but the impulse of emotion caused him to call the police in anger. When facing the real police, he actually began to feel nervous.

Su Daqiang strongly retorted: "Then I will sue them for not fulfilling their filial duties and taking my pension." Liu Jinsong gently massaged the corners of his eyes to relieve his fatigue. "This is just a family dispute. It is beyond the police's authority to handle. I can introduce you to community workers to help solve it."

"I want not only money, but also a house!" Su Daqiang's gloomy words floated in the air, showing his greed and stubbornness.

"House?" Liu Jinsong asked doubtfully, "Did your child occupy your property?"

"No, I only have this old house. I was just talking about the new house my son bought." Su Daqiang explained:

"My eldest son once promised to buy me a house for my old age, but now he wants to send me to a nursing home. I want to know, can a lawyer help me get that house back?"

Liu Jinsong looked at Zhang Yu and his two siblings not far away and asked Su Daqiang: "Did you buy this house with your own money? Do you have a purchase certificate?"

"No, my eldest son bought it. I didn't spend a penny on it." Su Daqiang didn't dare to hide the truth from the police.

Liu Jinsong was speechless again. It was fine if he didn't mention the money, but asking for the property was another matter. "Has your son already transferred the house to you?" he asked.

Su Daqiang shook his head again and replied, "No, the house is in Demon City and is still under construction. We haven't taken possession of it yet!"

Liu Jinsong asked in confusion: "Can you tell me in detail about the situation of that house?"

Su Daqiang told the police everything about the house in Mo City without reservation, and then Liu Jinsong's attitude towards Su Daqiang changed slightly.

So your son bought you a mansion worth nearly 20 million, and you still think it's not enough? If it were me, I would not be able to stand having such a father. Although Liu Jinsong could not blame Su Daqiang, he chose to persuade him: "Old man, your eldest son has fulfilled his filial piety, bought a house and hired a nanny, what else are you not satisfied with?"

Su Daqiang said loudly: "He also bought a bigger house for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and now he has changed his mind and wants to send me to a nursing home."

Liu Jinsong tried to ease the situation: "There's nothing wrong with a nursing home. Didn't you say that he will cover the expenses?" Su Daqiang was still furious: "Will a nursing home want someone who is about to die? You will die within two years if you go there." Hearing this, Liu Jinsong's expression became complicated - there was also a time when he sent his mother to a nursing home.

Although he did not do this on purpose, because he was too busy with work and had many family matters, he still felt a little uncomfortable, listening to Su Daqiang's words. As a senior police officer, he knew that emotions should not affect judgment: "Old man, I suggest you find some time to calm down and have a good talk with the children. There is always a solution."

He gestured to his colleagues in the distance and called Zhang Yu and the other two over. "As children, you also have the responsibility to respect the elderly. Is it filial piety to ask the elders to call the police?" He criticized from a moral perspective.

Seeing someone defending him, Su Daqiang felt very proud and looked at everyone arrogantly. Zhang Yu calmly stated: "We three siblings have never said that we don't respect our elders. In fact, we are even willing to give him the best and most luxurious nursing home in Demon City for him to choose from."

Hearing this, Liu Jinsong sighed: "What the elderly really need is companionship. Do you think it's okay to just send them to a nursing home?" He then asked: "Since you haven't made any mistakes, there is nothing you can't explain. I'm here to judge for you."

Looking at Su Daqiang, who looked nervous, Liu Jinsong thought to himself and continued to listen to Zhang Yu's further explanation. Zhang Yu asked mercilessly: "When your mother had a car accident, why didn't you call the police or an ambulance? Instead, you were notified."

Su Daqiang retorted: "She lost consciousness at the time. I was just anxious to send her to the hospital and forgot to call the police in a panic."

"You're lying!" Zhang Yu refuted loudly: "She is the head nurse and knows medical knowledge. If she didn't call the police immediately after the accident, it might mean that she would think it was nothing serious. But she called you, which obviously means it was not a minor injury."

Su Daqiang seemed to be getting weaker and weaker as he was questioned. Zhang Yu added, "If she is unconscious after you arrive at the scene, you will not be able to pull her out of the accident vehicle with your physique."

After hearing this, Liu Jinsong's mood changed and he began to rethink the facts and motives of the case.

The only possibility is that my mother had a traffic accident, and when you arrived at the scene, she was not yet in a coma, and with your help, she was able to struggle out of the car and climb up the hillside. "

Su Daqiang swallowed hard and looked at Zhang Yu with a fearful look.

"You weren't there at all. What grounds do you have to accuse me of this?" Zhang Yu pulled out his phone and showed a few pictures. "Before my mother's funeral, I went to investigate the scene. Various clues show that the two people did climb up the ditch hand in hand."

Su Mingcheng quickly grabbed Zhang Yu's phone and studied the contents of the photo carefully. Zhang Yu added: "I also invited trace experts, and their analysis further confirmed my guess."

Su Daqiang began to sweat on his forehead. Zhang Yu continued, "Since Mom's injuries were not serious at the time of the accident, why did she suddenly die after being sent to the hospital? And why do you insist that she was in a coma? Could something have happened that we don't know about?"

Su Mingcheng could no longer suppress his anger and tried to rush to Su Daqiang, but was stopped by Liu Jinsong. "Speak! Explain to me clearly what you did to my mother!" Su Mingcheng barked at Su Daqiang.

Zhang Yu grabbed Su Mingcheng and asked Su Daqiang indifferently: "I have seen my mother's autopsy report. There were many bruises on her body. At first I thought it was just a car accident, but now I am suspicious."

Liu Jinsong winked at his colleague and moved slightly to the left, gradually closing the distance between him and Su Daqiang. "Did you kill her yourself? Tell me!" Su Mingcheng shouted out of control.

Su Daqiang lowered his head and said nothing, beads of sweat dripping down to the ground. "This incident really has nothing to do with me. I didn't hurt her. It's just that she was wobbling and accidentally fell down again." He whispered.

Zhang Yu took out his phone again and showed a photo of a small mound of dirt near the accident site. "Didn't mom fall from here again?!" His tone became more and more resolute.

Su Daqiang looked up, and when he saw the photo, he backed away like a daze, almost falling to the ground. "How could you know that? You were still in America at that time!" he exclaimed.

Su Daqiang's behavior at this moment has exposed many details. Liu Jinsong and his colleagues hugged him. "Su Daqiang, let's go to the institute first and tell us all the facts." Liu Jinsong said without question.

Su Daqiang trembled and cried in fear, "I didn't hurt Meilan, it was really an accident, it was really an accident!"

Su Mingyu stared at this scene in a daze, her thoughts in disarray. Was her mother, Zhao Meilan, really murdered by her father?

This is an unimaginable situation for the children. For victims like Su Mingcheng, the blow is particularly huge because he has a deep relationship with his mother.

In the police station, Su Daqiang was not sent to the interrogation room, but was taken to the conference room, where Zhang Yu, Su Mingcheng, Su Mingyu, and Zhu Li were also present. Liu Jinsong asked someone to bring in a glass of water, and then activated the monitoring equipment in the conference room.

Although Su Daqiang believed that Zhao Meilan had fallen off the small mound, no one could determine whether it was intentional or accidental. Due to the lack of evidence, Liu Jinsong could not arrest him for the time being, so he had to bring him here for questioning.
