Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Yi Zhonghai said in a muffled voice: "Liu Haizhong, please stop talking, I'm almost sick to death."

Liu Haizhong immediately showed a hurt expression and said pitifully:

"Brother Yi, why do you say that to me? My heart is chilled!"

"I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you on crutches the first time. How could you say that to me? It really makes me feel disappointed."

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Liu Haizhong, stop acting in front of me and tell me the truth. Did you hire someone to beat me up?"

Liu Haizhong's face was full of disbelief, and he said hurriedly:

"Lao Yi, did the gangsters hit you on the head? Otherwise, how could you suspect me? I have been lying in the ward the whole time and have not even left the hospital!"

"Even if you suspect Jia Zhang, you shouldn't suspect me!"

Jia Zhang said angrily, "Fatty Liu, what the hell do you mean? Your son has never been out of the hospital, but has this old lady ever been out of the hospital?"

Liu Haizhong said calmly: "Who knows? Your legs are not injured, you can run away at any time."

"It must be because Lao Yi beat you up, and you hold a grudge against him, so you went to find someone to beat Lao Yi up."

Jia Zhang cursed: "Bullshit, even though I hate Yi Juehu, I never asked anyone to beat him up."

Liu Haizhong said in a sinister tone, "Old Yi, did you hear that? Jia Zhang hates you, and she must have hired someone to beat you up."

"Fatty Liu, I'll fuck your eight generations of ancestors, and I'll scratch you to death!"

Jia Zhang was furious and raised her hand to scratch the fat face in the bangs, but was blocked by Wang Shufen.

Yi Zhonghai roared, “Liu Haizhong, Jia Zhangshi, if you two want to fight, go fight somewhere else and don’t disturb me while I’m resting.”

Liu Haizhong said dissatisfiedly: "Lao Yi, I am helping you catch the murderer, how can you do this to me?"

Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "Liu Haizhong, stop making trouble here. With Jia Zhangshi's attitude, does she have the ability to hire someone to beat me up?"

Before Liu Haizhong could refute, Jia Zhang jumped up three feet high and cursed:

"Yi Juehu, who the hell are you looking down on? I want to hire someone to beat you up, it's just a matter of a word."

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Old Yi, did you hear that? Jia Zhang wanted to beat you, but it was just a matter of one word from her."

"Old Yi! Although you once loved each other, once this woman changes her mind, she can do anything."

Jia Zhang was furious and said, "Fatty Liu, if you keep spewing shit, I will bite a piece of meat off of you even if it costs me my life."

Yi Zhonghai also said angrily: "Liu Haizhong, get out of my ward immediately."

Liu Haizhong said with a smile: "You are united so quickly and you still say that you two have nothing to do with each other?"

Yi Zhonghai said irritably, "Jia Zhang, get out of my ward too."

Jia Zhang said arrogantly, "Who do you think you are, Yi Zhonghai? If you tell me to leave, will I leave? That would be so embarrassing for me."

At this time, Ma Hongjun walked into the ward and said expressionlessly:

"I have a few questions for Yi Zhonghai. Both of you go out first."

Ma Hongjun spoke, and Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhangshi dared not disobey, and left Yi Zhonghai's ward in an orderly manner.

Ma Hongjun got straight to the point: "Yi Zhonghai, according to our investigation, there were three people who beat you the first time, and there were three people who beat you this time. Do you think they are the same group of people?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly and said, "I was beaten twice, and both times I was put in a sack, so I can't be sure if it was the same group of people."

"But I don't think it was the same group of people, because the first time I suspected that it was Xu Damao who hired someone to do it, and this time I suspect it was Liu Haizhong who hired someone to do it."

Ma Hongjun said in a deep voice: "You said you suspected that Liu Haizhong hired someone to beat you up, but do you have any evidence?"

Yi Zhonghai said with a little dissatisfaction: "Where can I get any evidence? Isn't it the responsibility of the police to find evidence?"

"I've been beaten up twice in less than two months, and your police station hasn't been able to find the murderer yet. How can I dare to go out in the future?"

Ma Hongjun said apologetically: "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, I am very sorry for what happened to you. I promise you that we will catch the murderer as soon as possible."

"I'm asking you for information so that we can catch the murderer faster. So if you know anything, please tell us. This will be very helpful for us to solve the case."

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "I have told the police everything I should have said before. There is really nothing more to say."

"The reason why I suspected Liu Haizhong was the murderer was because I knew his character. That bastard was narrow-minded and vindictive. He always suspected that I hired someone to beat him up, so in order to get revenge, he hired someone to beat me up."

"Although Liu Haizhong's legs and feet are not fully recovered and it is inconvenient for him to be discharged from the hospital, he can definitely ask his family or apprentice to handle this matter. If you investigate in this direction, you will definitely get something."

Ma Hongjun nodded slightly and said, "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, the clues you provided are very helpful to us. We will conduct an in-depth investigation and notify you as soon as we catch the murderer."

Ma Hongjun left Yi Zhonghai's ward and came to Liu Haizhong's ward.

Liu Haizhong spoke first: "Director Ma, is there any news about the person who beat me?"

Ma Hongjun paused, then shook his head and said, "No, I came here because of Yi Zhonghai's matter. I want to learn more from you."

Liu Haizhong said very straightforwardly: "I know, Yi Zhonghai will definitely tell you that I hired someone to beat him up."

"To be honest, I did have this idea, but I didn't implement it."

"Firstly, I am not fully recovered yet and cannot leave the hospital, so I cannot find thugs."

"Secondly, I believe in the ability of your police station. You will definitely be able to find the murderer who beat me and seek justice for me. There is no need for me to take the risk of hiring someone to beat Yi Zhonghai."

Ma Hongjun looked at him in a mysterious way, and said in a deep voice, "Comrade Liu Haizhong, does your wife usually bring you meals?"

Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Yes, usually my wife brings you food, and my eldest son and second son also bring you food occasionally."

Ma Hongjun continued to ask: "How many times did your two sons send you there?"

Liu Haizhong frowned slightly: "Three or four times, I can't remember the exact number. Old lady, do you remember?"

Wang Shufen thought for a moment before slowly saying, "Guangqi seemed to have delivered it twice, and Guangtian seemed to have only delivered it once."

Liu Haizhong added: "Director Ma, Liu Guangqi is my eldest son, and Liu Guangtian is my second son."

Ma Hongjun: "So when did your two sons bring you meals?"

Liu Haizhong: "I only remember that Guangqi brought me food the night before last, but I don't remember the other two times very clearly."

Wang Shufen: "It was Guangqi who sent Lao Liu to the hospital the morning of the second day, and Guangtian seemed to be there at noon on the third day."

Ma Hongjun: "Comrade Liu Haizhong, who has visited you during your hospitalization?"

Liu Haizhong: "He Yuzhu and Xu Damao in our courtyard, or my apprentices Cao Yunfei and Xie Changshan..."
