Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's answer, Ma Hongjun looked at Qin Huairu sharply and said in a deep voice:

"Qin Huairu, as the daughter-in-law of Jia Zhang, why did you kill your own mother-in-law?"

Qin Huairu was so frightened that she was shaking all over, her teeth chattering, and she said with tears in her eyes:

"Comrade Public Security, I didn't kill my mother-in-law, it was just a fight between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law."

Ma Hongjun said sternly: "You still say you didn't kill her? You had a fight with Jia Zhang first, and Yi Zhonghai came to stop them. Not only did you not stop, you continued to beat Jia Zhang, and then followed Yi Zhonghai to beat your mother-in-law."

"Qin Huairu, tell me the truth, why do you hate your mother-in-law so much?"

Qin Huairu shuddered all over and immediately collapsed to the ground, trying hard to act pitifully.

"Comrade Gong'an, you have to make the decision for me! Jia Zhang is a wicked mother-in-law. Ever since I married into the Jia family, she has been torturing me, beating and scolding me. I've had enough of her..."

Ma Hongjun didn't believe in the tears, and turned to ask everyone: "Neighbors, is it as Qin Huairu said?"

Wang Shufen immediately retorted, "Director Ma, Qin Huairu lied. Jia Zhang was indeed not nice to her before, but in recent months, Jia Zhang has changed for the better. Not only does she do her best to help Qin Huairu take care of the children, she also does her laundry and cooking for her. It's good enough for the mother-in-law to do this."

As soon as Sun Jinfeng finished speaking, others followed suit and criticized Qin Huairu for all her faults.

People of this era are relatively conservative, and it is unacceptable for a daughter-in-law to beat her mother-in-law, let alone the fact that Qin Huairu beat her mother-in-law to death.

Ma Hongjun looked at Qin Huairu with disgust and said coldly, "At this point, you still dare to lie?"

"Xiao Meng, torture Qin Huairu first."

Qin Huairu panicked when she heard this, and cried, "Director Ma, I am innocent, I really didn't lie!"

"Shut up first. I'll interrogate you after I finish asking you other questions!"

After Ma Hongjun finished speaking, Xiao Meng handcuffed Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao and others all looked solemn upon seeing this.

Ma Hongjun continued to ask: "Director He, who were the people who beat Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai?"

He Yuzhu answered truthfully: "Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian..., a total of eight people."

"Who beat Jia Zhang into unconsciousness?"

"The injuries on Jia Zhang's body were inflicted by Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai. As for who knocked her unconscious, I didn't see it, but I guess it was Yi Zhonghai who did it."

"Yi Zhonghai kicked Jia Zhang and directly kicked her against the wall. The whole house shook, which shows how powerful the kick was."

Ma Hongjun asked everyone, "Did anyone see how Jia Zhang fainted?"

After a while, Li Ningyu stammered, "Uncle... Uncle Gongan, I saw it."

Li Ningyu, Li Debiao's second son, is sixteen years old this year.

Ma Hongjun said in a gentle voice: "Don't be nervous, young comrade, speak slowly!"

Li Ningyu calmed down and said slowly: "At that time, Xu Damao and others were beating Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. Jia Zhang was probably afraid of being affected, so she tried her best to crawl out and get away from Yi Zhonghai and others."

"At this time, Jia Zhang must have been seriously injured. She stood up with difficulty, but she was bumped by Yi Zhonghai as soon as she stood up. Jia Zhang lost her balance and fell down again. Her forehead hit the wall and then she fainted."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Ningyu, don't talk nonsense..."

Ma Hongjun said sternly: "Yi Zhonghai, you are so bold that you dare to threaten the witness in front of me. Torture him."

Yi Zhonghai's heart trembled, and he stammered, "Ma... Director Ma, I didn't..."

Ma Hongjun said impatiently: "What do you mean? Shut up first, there will be plenty of time for you to speak later."

"Crack!"

Following Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai also wore a silver bracelet.

Yi Zhonghai felt flustered and wanted to say something else, but when he met Ma Hongjun's icy gaze, he finally shut his mouth.

Ma Hongjun continued to ask: "Besides Comrade Li Xiao, who else saw it?"

Lu Zhuowu raised his hand and said, "Uncle Public Security, I saw it too."

Lu Zhuowu, the second son of Lu Tiezhu and Sun Jinfeng.

Following Lu Zhuowu, several more people came forward to identify Yi Zhonghai.

Ma Hongjun glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said coldly: "Yi Zhonghai, now that so many people have pointed fingers at you, what else do you have to say?"

Yi Zhonghai said innocently, "Director Ma, I really didn't know that I was the one who knocked Jia Zhang down. The situation was too chaotic at the time. Xu Damao and his men were beating me, and I was only concerned with dodging them. I didn't notice Jia Zhang at all."

"Even if I was the one who knocked Jia Zhang down, the fault cannot be put on me. It was Xu Damao and his men who chased me and beat me, so I accidentally knocked Jia Zhang down."

Ma Hongjun said in a deep voice: "Do you think that your only mistake was to knock down Jia Zhang? Your biggest mistake was to beat Jia Zhang."

"No, you didn't make a mistake, you committed a crime, intentional injury. If the circumstances are serious, you will be sentenced."

Yi Zhonghai's pupils suddenly changed, and he said tremblingly: "Director Ma, Jia Zhang also hit me, and she was the first to hit me."

Ma Hongjun said calmly: "Then you are fighting each other, and fighting each other is also a crime. If it causes the other party to be disabled, your crime is not small."

Yi Zhonghai said anxiously: "Ma Hongjun, I am also a victim. It was Jia Zhang who beat me first, and Xu Damao and the others also beat Qin Huairu and me."

Xu Damao's heart tightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Ma Hongjun, don't listen to Yi Zhonghai's nonsense. We are doing what is right. If we hadn't rescued her, Jia Zhang would have been beaten to death by Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu."

Liu Guangqi and others quickly echoed: "Yes... yes, we are acting bravely, but we are not committing any crime!"

Yi Zhonghai said coldly: "Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, don't talk so righteously. You just want to take the opportunity to retaliate against me. What do you mean by being brave and righteous? Pah!"

Xu Damao retorted: "Yi Zhonghai, don't spit blood at me. We have no grudges against you, why should we retaliate against you?"

"If we really have a grudge against you, we can just beat you alone. Why do we have to beat Qin Huairu as well? Are you going to say that we have a grudge against Qin Huairu too?"

Ma Hongjun shouted, "That's enough! No matter what your purpose is, beating people is wrong. Come with me to the police station!"

Qin Huairu cried and complained: "Chief Ma, can I not go to the police station? My mother-in-law is injured and in the hospital. If I go to the police station again, there will be no one to take care of my three children at home."

Sun Jinfeng smiled and said, "Qin Huairu, don't worry. I can help take care of your three children for one night. You must actively cooperate with the police investigation and try to get out as soon as possible."

"Pfft..."

As soon as Sun Jinfeng finished speaking, someone couldn't help laughing out loud.
