Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Nanluoguxiang Police Station.

"Director Ma, you have to make the decision for us!"

"Director Ma, that bastard Yi Zhonghai is not a human being. He even cheated us out of the money for the coffin."

"Captain Ma, if you don't make the decision for us, I will be killed in your police station."

Ma Hongjun looked at the aunts and grandmas in the yard who were filled with righteous indignation, his face solemn and his body trembling slightly.

The quarrel between three women was like the quacking of 500 ducks. The aunts and grandmas in the yard were so angry that Ma Hongjun felt dizzy.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Ma Hongjun roared, then smiled and said:

"Ladies and aunts, if you have any grievances, please send two representatives to tell me. I can't hear you clearly because you are talking so much at the same time."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Sun Jinfeng.

"Second Aunt, please tell Director Ma, we believe you!"

"Yes, Second Aunt, you discovered this matter, you know it best, so you should tell Director Ma!"

"Second Aunt, don't be afraid. Speak boldly. If the people in the police station dare to protect Yi Zhonghai and his gang of bad guys, I will make a big fuss even if I risk my life."

Sun Jinfeng took the lead and said, "Okay, since everyone believes me, I will tell the public security comrades!"

Ma Hongjun hurriedly said, "Comrade Sun Jinfeng, please follow me into the room to take notes."

"Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, quickly bring out all the chairs and benches in the station, so that the ladies won't get tired."

"Don't worry, Director. We are all soldiers of the people and will definitely take good care of the elder sister and the elder sister."

Ma Hongjun led Sun Jinfeng into the office and personally poured her a glass of boiled water.

Ma Hongjun and Sun Jinfeng sat opposite each other across the table. A moment later, another female police officer sat next to Ma Hongjun with a pen and paper.

"Cough cough!"

Ma Hongjun cleared his throat twice and said seriously, "Comrade Sun Jinfeng, let's get started!"

Sun Jinfeng organized her words and said calmly:

"Director Ma, we are all residents of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang Courtyard. We want to sue the former first uncle Yi Zhonghai, the former second uncle Liu Haizhong, the former third uncle Yan Bugui, as well as the Jia family's Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang for defrauding us of our money."

Ma Hongjun: "How did they defraud you of your money?"

Sun Jinfeng: "They used the Jia family's poverty as an excuse to organize all of us to donate to the Jia family, and used our love to defraud us of our money."

"The three managers organized a total of nine donations, all to the Jia family. The total amount of money they defrauded was as high as more than 1,200 yuan. Here is the account book. Director Ma, you can take a look."

As Sun Jinfeng spoke, she handed the account book to Ma Hongjun, who took it with a serious face.

Twelve hundred yuan was a huge sum of money in that era. If it was really the proceeds of fraud, it would be a big case.

Ma Hongjun did not look at the account book immediately, but continued to ask:

"Individuals organizing donations must report to the subdistrict office. Did Yi Zhonghai and his team report to the subdistrict office?"

Sun Jinfeng shook her head and said, "No, not even once. We didn't know that we had to report the donations to the street office, so we were deceived by Yi Zhonghai and his gang so many times."

Ma Hongjun nodded slightly and waved to the police at the door.

"Captain, what are your instructions?"

"Go to the subdistrict office and ask Director Fang Changgui to come over."

"clear…"

Ma Hongjun continued to ask: "How do you know that you were cheated?"

Sun Jinfeng said excitedly: "Because the Jia family is not poor at all, and is even richer than most people. After Jia Dongxu died, the steel mill not only arranged a job for Qin Huairu, but also paid a one-time compensation of 500 yuan..."

Ma Hongjun asked in confusion: "Since you all know that the Jia family is not poor, why do you keep donating to the Jia family?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jinfeng slammed her palm on the table and gnashed her teeth, saying, "This is the abomination of Yi Zhonghai and these three bastards..."

Ma Hongjun comforted her: "Comrade Sun Jinfeng, please speak slowly and don't get excited!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so angry."

"It's okay, just keep talking!"

Sun Jinfeng: "Every time Yi Zhonghai and the other two organized a donation, they would talk about how poor the Jia family was and how difficult their life was, and then take the lead in donating money."

"If anyone doesn't donate, the three of them will take turns criticizing him, saying he has no love and no sense of collective honor, and they also threaten to kick the person out of the compound."

"The three of them used their status as the stewards to cover up everything in the compound. Under their coaxing and intimidation, we had no choice but to donate."

"That's why we suspect that the three of them teamed up with the Jia family to defraud us collectively, and all the stolen money was taken by them."

Ma Hongjun: "Why did you come to report the case only now?"

Sun Jinfeng: "Firstly, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui committed crimes and were dismissed from their positions as managers by Director Fang. We are no longer as afraid of them as before."

"Secondly, my husband was promoted to the position of manager and got the account book. When I looked at the records, I realized that they had cheated us of so much money. I was so angry that I came to report the case."

Next, Ma Hongjun asked some more questions, and Sun Jinfeng answered them one by one.

At this time, Fang Changgui came to the police station and saw a group of middle-aged women in the yard with gloomy faces.

The aunts greeted nervously, "Director Fang."

Fang Changgui nodded expressionlessly and walked into the room.

Ma Hongjun saw Fang Changgui coming and stood up to greet him, "Director Fang, thank you again for your help."

Fang Changgui forced a smile on his face and said softly, "Director Ma, you're too polite!"

Sun Jinfeng called out, "Director Fang!"

Fang Changgui nodded slightly as a response.

He was very dissatisfied with the fact that Sun Jinfeng and her group skipped him and chose to call the police directly.

Fang Changgui restrained his expression and said seriously, "Director Ma, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Director Ma said politely, "Director Fang, I only have one question. Did Yi Zhonghai and his team report to your subdistrict office before organizing the donations from the entire hospital?"

Fang Changgui said categorically: "Absolutely not!"

Ma Hongjun nodded slightly, then handed the transcript and account book to Fang Changgui and said:

"Director Fang, you can take a look."

Fang Changgui did not refuse and took the transcript and account book. After thinking for two seconds, he chose to look through the transcript first, because he wanted to know as soon as possible what had happened that caused so many people in Courtyard No. 95 to come and report the case.

On his way here, he had asked the police officer who came to ask for him, but the officer was not very clear and only gave a few ambiguous answers.

Fang Changgui said to the police officer at the door: "Xiao Li, go and call Captain Wang over."

A moment later, Wang Qiang came to the office.

"Director, you're looking for me!"

Ma Hongjun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Send your troops in three groups. The first group will go to the steel mill and bring back Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Qin Huairu for questioning."

"The second route is to Red Star Primary School and bring Yan Bugui back."

"The third route is to go to Courtyard No. 95 and bring Zhang Xiaohua back."
