Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

The fat man struggled desperately in the corner, making a whimpering sound from his mouth.

Wei Dayong's eyes were sharp. He pulled the rag off the fat man's mouth and said coldly:

"At this point, do you still have anything to argue about?"

The fat man pretended to be indignant and said, "Chief Wei, I was wronged. It was Xiao Yichen who poisoned me. When I discovered his crime, he turned the tables and framed me for the crime. I am more wronged than Dou E."

"Chief Wei, you are very observant, so you must make the decision for me!"

The fat man's words that turned black into white made Xiao Yichen furious, and he roared:

"You bastard, you are so shameless. The three of us saw you poisoning someone, and you still dare to make excuses?"

The fat man pretended to be calm and said, "You three are master and apprentice, and have a close relationship. I am not surprised at all that you have united to frame me."

"Xiao Yichen, you evil villain, Section Chief Wei has a sharp eye and will not be fooled by you, why don't you admit it quickly?"

Xiao Yichen: "You son of a bitch, what did you say? I'm going to beat you to death."

Gao Bangde: "Fatty, you dare to do it but not take responsibility, what kind of man are you?"

Ma Buqing: "Fatty, God is watching what you do, and those who do evil will eventually perish!"

Xiao Yichen and the other two were furious and were about to hit the fat man.

Section Chief Wei said in a deep voice: "Captain Xiao, please be patient. The real thing cannot be fake, and the fake thing cannot be real."

"Fang Zheng, put away your cleverness! Do you really think you can confuse people and confuse right and wrong?"

"Who went to the drugstore to buy the medicine? Whose fingerprints were left on the butter paper? With a little investigation, we can find out who the murderer is."

"If we find out that the murderer is not Xiao Yichen, you will be charged with defamation."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng's eyes became dull and his face turned pale, ashen, and he collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

Wei Dayong said coldly: "Take him away!"

The fat man shuddered and yelled, "Chief Wei, I confess, I did put something in the salt jar, but it was not poison, but a laxative."

"Chief Wei, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"

Wei Dayong said coldly: "Shut his mouth and don't let him disrupt today's celebration."

"Woooo..."

The fat man was dragged away with despair in his eyes and tears of regret in his eyes.

Xiao Yichen watched the fat man being dragged away, his anger still lingering, his face gloomy as he said:

"Chief Wei, do the three of us, Master and Apprentice, also have to go with you to the Security Department for an introduction and investigation?"

Wei Dayong pondered for a moment and said with a smile:

"Not for now. After all, we have recorded what you just said, and the fat guy has admitted that he was the one who drugged you. If we need anything, we will come back to you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yichen said with gratitude:

"Thank you, Chief Wei. I will be waiting for your summons at any time and will fully cooperate with your investigation."

"We are all colleagues in the same factory, don't be so polite. This matter is too bad, I have to find out the facts as soon as possible, so I'm leaving now!"

"Chief Wei, take care!"

……

Security Department, interrogation room.

The fat man was fixed on the interrogation chair, trembling all over, his eyes full of fear.

Wei Dayong said seriously, "Fang Zheng, the identification results are out. In addition to your fingerprints, there is a stranger's fingerprint on the butter paper. There are no fingerprints of Xiao Yichen and his two disciples at all."

"Tell me, why did you poison the kitchen?"

The fat man hung his head and said dejectedly:

"I've already said that I didn't poison the workers. I just put some laxatives in the salt tank. If the workers ate it, they would only have diarrhea, but it wouldn't cause much harm to their bodies."

"I'm not crazy. How could I dare to poison someone in the kitchen? If someone was really poisoned to death, you would definitely step up your investigation, and I would most likely be exposed. I'm not that stupid."

Wei Dayong said in a deep voice: "Fang Zheng, I will assume that you gave me a laxative. Where did you buy it from?"

The fat man answered truthfully: "I bought it at the drugstore diagonally opposite the East Factory Gate."

Upon hearing this, Wei Dayong said to the people around him, "Xiao Fang, go and get the salesperson from that drugstore."

"it is good!"

Xiao Fang then stood up and left the interrogation room.

Wei Dayong said in a more serious tone: "Fang Zheng, why did you put drugs in the kitchen?"

"Tell me the truth, are you a KMT spy lurking in our steel mill?"

"What? Secret Service?"

The fat man hurriedly shook his head and said, "Chief Wei, please don't wrongly accuse me. I'm not a spy. The reason I put the laxative in the kitchen was just to take revenge on Xiao Yichen and He Yuzhu."

"I am obviously very talented in cooking, but they refused to accept me as their apprentice. They also tried their best to suppress me, making my future bleak and hopeless. That's why I want to take revenge on them."

"My idea is very simple. I put laxatives in the kitchen and let the workers get into trouble on such an important day. The factory will definitely punish Xiao Yichen and He Yuzhu."

"Chief Wei, I was just confused for a moment, please let me go this time!"

Wei Dayong said angrily, "I was confused for a moment. You are kidding me. If it wasn't for squad leader Xiao who discovered your conspiracy in time, do you know how much trouble you would have caused to our steel mill?"

"You bastard, you even dragged more than 20,000 people from the entire factory to retaliate. You are so crazy, wait for the most severe punishment in the factory!"

"Besides, for someone as narrow-minded, dark and vicious as you, no one, let alone He Yuzhu and Xiao Yichen, would accept you as their apprentice."

The fat man looked ferocious and distorted:

"Wei Dayong, you bastard, what right do you have to say that about me? How am I narrow-minded? How am I dark and vicious?"

"Fang Zheng, even at this point, you still haven't realized your mistake. You are simply hopeless."

Wei Dayong didn't even bother to look at Fang Zheng again, and turned around and left the interrogation room.

"Wei Dayong, come back here..."

"Wei Dayong, you bastard, let me out now..."

As soon as Wei Dayong walked out of the interrogation room, a subordinate came to him with a report.

"Chief, the composition of the white powder has been tested and it is indeed a laxative."

Wei Dayong took the report and flipped through it. There was no change on his face, as if everything was under his control.

After interrogating the fat man just now, he basically judged that the other party was not lying, so he was not surprised at all when he heard that it was a laxative.

At this time, the salesperson from the drugstore was also invited over.

With his identification, it was confirmed that the fat man was the person who went to his store to buy laxatives.

At this point, the chain of evidence has been complete and the case can be closed.

But Wei Dayong was a serious person, so he decided to find out more about why He Yuzhu and Xiao Yichen were unwilling to accept Fang Zheng as their apprentice.

Xiao Yichen's answer could be summed up in eight words: sneaky and cunning, with bad conduct.

He Yuzhu's answer was also eight words: lack of talent and evil intentions.
