Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

After everyone left, He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly:

"Director Ma, I'm sorry, they are gossipy and say nonsense, please don't take it to heart."

Ma Hongjun forced a smile on his face and sighed:

"They are not wrong. There have been a series of incidents of criminals injuring people, but we have no clue what to do. It is indeed our incompetence. It is also right for the masses to make a few noises."

He Yuzhu comforted him, "Director Ma, although I don't understand how you police handle cases, I know you have definitely tried your best. As for why you haven't solved the case yet, it may just be because you lacked a little luck."

Ma Hongjun grinned and said, "Director He, you don't need to comfort me. If the case is not solved, it is not solved. It is indeed our dereliction of duty. There is no way to shirk responsibility, but we will not give up and will definitely bring the murderer to justice."

"Four consecutive incidents of wounding people have attracted the attention of the higher-ups. To be honest, I'm under a lot of pressure right now."

"Director He, if you have any clues, you must tell me."

"Four incidents of wounding?"

"Yes, and they were all people from the steel mill who were attacked. The first one was a man named Zhao Wei who was attacked. This man stuttered, so everyone called him Zhao Jieba."

"The second case was that Yi Zhonghai was attacked, the third was Liu Haizhong, and the fourth was Yi Zhonghai again."

"The first two wounding incidents were one day apart, and the last two were five days apart."

When Ma Hongjun reminded him, He Yuzhu instantly remembered that the previous two cases should have been committed by Xu Damao.

In the third case, he suspected that Yi Zhonghai hired someone to beat Liu Haizhong.

In the fourth case, he suspected that Liu Haizhong hired someone to beat Yi Zhonghai in revenge.

It’s a pity that he had no evidence, but that didn’t stop him from giving Ma Hongjun a reminder.

He Yuzhu asked: "Director Ma, are the four cases robbery or revenge?"

Ma Hongjun replied: "The first three cases should be revenge, but I don't know about the latter case yet."

He Yuzhu pretended to be casual and said, "Is it possible that Liu Haizhong hired someone to beat Yi Zhonghai this time? He has always said that Yi Zhonghai hired someone to beat him. Is he doing this out of revenge?"

Ma Hongjun nodded and said, "Actually, I also suspect Yi Haizhong, but he has been lying in the hospital and has never been out. Could it be that he asked his family to find someone to beat Yi Zhonghai?"

At this moment, Wang Qiang came to the courtyard.

Wang Qiang first looked at Ma Hongjun and then at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu knew that they had something to discuss, so he left very tactfully.

"Director, we have already taken a statement from Yi Zhonghai. This time the criminals may have injured someone in order to rob him!"

Ma Hongjun frowned and asked, "Why do you think it was a robbery?"

Wang Qiang blurted out: "Because all the money on Yi Zhonghai was robbed."

Ma Hongjun pondered for a moment and said in a serious tone: "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. The criminals may have deliberately disrupted our investigation by stealing the victim's money."

"I think this assault was committed for revenge, and Liu Haizhong is the primary suspect."

"Well, let's first investigate Liu Haizhong and his family separately, and then go back to the station to analyze the case."

"it is good!"

He Yuzhu had amazing hearing and could hear clearly the conversation between Ma Hongjun and the other man outside the house.

He Yuzhu frowned. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai was beaten up this time just because of a few scoundrels who wanted to rob him of his money? Or, as Ma Hongjun said, they robbed the money just to confuse the public and deliberately disrupt the police's investigation?

This is exactly where Cao Yunfei's cleverness lies. He knew that if he simply beat Yi Zhonghai up, the police would definitely suspect his master Liu Haizhong first.

So he specifically instructed to rob Yi Zhonghai of his money in order to conceal his tracks and get away with it.

……

Wang Shufen came to Liu Haizhong's ward with a lunch box and said with a smile:

"Old Liu, I have good news for you. Yi Zhonghai was also beaten into the ward by the gangsters?"

Liu Haizhong pretended to be surprised and asked, "What? Yi Zhonghai was also beaten? Is he seriously injured? Is his life in danger?"

Wang Shufen said: "I just got the news too. I don't know the exact extent of the injury."

Liu Haizhong said dissatisfiedly: "You are such a loser, you don't know anything. Then which hospital is Liu Haizhong staying in? You should know, right?"

Wang Shufen responded, "The Second Hospital, the same hospital as ours."

Liu Haizhong immediately ordered: "Then go and find out which ward Yi Zhonghai is in and the severity of his injuries."

"Okay, I'll go find out right away!"

After saying this, Wang Shufen turned around and was about to leave the ward.

Liu Haizhong roared: "Stop, you stupid woman, leave your lunch box here!"

Wang Shufen looked at the lunch box in her hand and said with a wry smile, "Look at my poor memory. Lao Liu, you eat first. I'll come back as soon as I get the news."

About ten minutes later, Wang Shufen came back.

"Old Liu, Yi Zhonghai lives on the same floor as us. You are in Ward 6, and he is in Ward 2. There are only four wards between us."

"Ward No. 2, isn't that right next to Jia Zhang's Ward No. 3?"

"Yes, they are really destined to be together. They can be hospitalized next to each other."

"Don't talk about these useless things. Tell us about Yi Zhonghai's injuries."

"Yi Zhonghai was badly injured, his whole body was wrapped in gauze, like a mummy."

Liu Haizhong took the last bite of rice and said with a smile: "My old friend is injured, I must go to see him."

Wang Shufen advised: "Old Liu, the doctor told you to move less."

Liu Haizhong said unhappily: “Walk less, it’s not like you can’t walk, hand me the crutches in the corner, I want to go see my brother.”

Wang Shufen had no choice but to hand over the crutches and support Liu Haizhong to visit Yi Zhonghai.

Before Liu Haizhong arrived at Ward No. 2, he heard Jia Zhang's harsh voice.

"Haha... Yi Juehu, you have finally come to this day. I asked you to hit me, and now you are getting your retribution, right?"

"Oh, heaven! Oh, earth! Which angel sister is here to vent my anger for me?"

Liu Haizhong pushed the door open and scolded angrily:

"Jia Zhang, what are you doing? We should be saddened that Lao Yi is injured and hospitalized. How can you gloat over his misfortune?"

Jia Zhang frowned, glared with her triangular eyes, and said angrily:

"Old Liu, why are you acting so high and mighty here? Yi Juehu was injured and hospitalized. Do you dare to say that you are not happy?"

Liu Haizhong suppressed his smile and said righteously:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? Old Yi is my dearest relative, my brother, and I am heartbroken to see him injured. How can I be secretly happy?"

Jia Zhang looked at Liu Haizhong as if he were a monster and said sarcastically:

"Big Head Liu, I thought Yi Zhonghai was invincible, but I didn't expect you to be even more hypocritical and shameless than him. There is always someone stronger than you, and there is always someone better than you!"

Liu Haizhong said seriously, "Jia Zhang, don't use your dirty mind to speculate on the unswerving brotherhood between me and Lao Yi."
