After everyone arrived at the police station, police officer Zhang Feng looked at the old man Yi Zhonghai, whose cheek was still imprinted with He Yuzhu's shoe prints, and said in a heavy tone: "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, as the mediator of the street office in Siheyuan, your testimony is crucial."
“Now I want to understand what the actual situation was like.”
Uncle Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu with anger in his eyes and said angrily: "Comrade police, the details of the incident are that He Yuzhu's bicycle was stolen by Jia Dongxu, a man in the courtyard, and then you police arrested Jia Dongxu himself." He continued, "After that, Jia Dongxu's family came to me for help. I saw that his family was really poor and felt very sympathetic for them, so I went to He Yuzhu to negotiate and sign a reconciliation agreement, and expressed my willingness to compensate He Yuzhu for the loss of the bicycle."
Uncle Yi Zhonghai then answered: "However, He Yuzhu not only refused to sign the letter of understanding, but also beat me, saying that I was meddling in other people's business! As the mediator of the courtyard, shouldn't I come here to negotiate and mediate this matter?"
At this point, Uncle Yi Zhonghai looked at Police Officer Zhang Feng opposite him with aggrieved look. What he said was exactly the same as what the deaf old lady said in Siheyuan.
The eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai guessed that whether it was the second uncle Liu Haizhong, the third uncle Yan Bugui, or Jia Dongxu's mother Jia Zhang, they must have the same report to the police about He Yuzhu's beating, because now He Yuzhu is their common enemy, and they must unite to deal with He Yuzhu first.
As for the other neighbors in the courtyard, they probably didn't dare to tell the truth about He Yuzhu beating people because of the reputation of the three uncles and the deaf old lady.
Even if Xu Damao and Xu Xiaoyun testified for He Yuzhu, how could they reverse the situation? After all, the emphasis now is on the minority obeying the majority.
After coming out of the police station, I have to settle accounts with Xu Damao. He dared to go against the wishes of the three masters in the courtyard. He is simply too brave to do what he wants. He must be taught a lesson!
After recording the confession of an old man named Yi Zhonghai, police officer Zhang Feng turned and left without saying anything. He then went straight to Jia Zhang's room to record their confessions. He chose the two of them to record their confessions first because both of them had bright red marks on their faces. It was obvious that these two people must have participated in He Yuzhu's beating incident, and the details of their confessions would serve as important evidence.
Seeing the police officer coming to her to investigate the situation, Jia Zhang immediately acted out her story, and said with tears in her eyes: "I just saw He Yuzhu arguing with Uncle Yi Zhonghai, and then He Yuzhu knocked Uncle Yi Zhonghai to the ground. As an elder, I asked He Yuzhu not to beat Uncle Yi Zhonghai. But... He Yuzhu slapped me in the face. My persuasion was met with a beating from He Yuzhu."
As Jia Zhang spoke, she began to cry out of grievance and lay on the table sobbing.
Zhang Feng couldn't stand Jia Zhang's bragging while pretending to be aggrieved, so he went to interrogate the other two courtyard mediators, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui.
However, what gave Zhang Feng a headache was that their statements were almost identical to those of the previous two. They all denied the fact that it was Yi Zhonghai who started the fight with He Yuzhu first, and put all the blame on He Yuzhu.
After interrogating these "beasts" in the courtyard, Zhang Feng's brows furrowed even more deeply. He realized that these people must have a grudge against He Yuzhu, so they distorted the facts to slander He Yuzhu.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Feng went to take statements from Xu Damao and Xu Xiaoyun.
Facing the siblings Xu Damao and Xu Xiaoyun, Zhang Feng's attitude in recording the confession was obviously relaxed. He asked Xu Damao with a smile: "Before at the scene, you said that the deaf old lady and the old man Yi Zhonghai were not the victims, and He Yuzhu was the real victim. So please describe in detail what happened at that time."
After listening to the police officer's question, Xu Damao fell silent, because he suddenly realized after arriving at the police station that if he really helped He Yuzhu, the consequences of facing the revenge of the three uncles in the courtyard would be even more troublesome...
This consequence will make life in the courtyard difficult, which is definitely not what Xu Damao wants to see.
Xu Xiaoyun was sitting next to her brother Xu Damao at this moment, watching her brother Xu Damao remain silent when facing police inquiries.
She gently bumped her brother's arm with her arm and looked at Xu Damao with hopeful eyes.
Xu Xiaoyun hoped that her brother would be able to bravely come forward and tell the police the actual situation at this moment, not only to redress the injustice for He Yuzhu's brother, but more importantly, she did not want to see the entire courtyard become a situation where injustices could not be redressed. By then, the courtyard would surely be in chaos.
Seeing his sister's encouraging expression, Xu Damao pursed his lips tightly, and finally mustered up the courage to tell all the times He Yuzhu had beaten people! The three uncles in the courtyard had often made things difficult for him before, and this time he had to teach them a lesson. If these three old bastards dared to deal with him in the future, he would learn from He Yuzhu and beat them up.
Zhang Feng recorded all the truth told by Xu Damao, and combined with the testimonies of Yi Zhonghai, an old man in the courtyard, and others, he had already formed a preliminary judgment in his mind about He Yuzhu's beating.
Therefore, Zhang Feng decided to continue questioning other residents of the courtyard. This time, he asked the aunt who told He Yuzhu that Jia Dongxu was the thief who stole his bicycle. Zhang Feng said, "Aunt, are you still unwilling to tell the truth about He Yuzhu's beating? Are you going to watch an innocent person being punished by the law? If the next innocent person in your courtyard is you, Zhang Feng, will you remain silent and accept the slander?"
Zhang Feng intended to persuade the aunt, but he obviously underestimated the prestige of Uncle Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady and others in the courtyard.
The aunt still didn't say anything after hearing what Zhang Feng said.
Seeing that the old lady was determined not to speak, Zhang Feng slammed the table vigorously and said, "You still don't want to speak? I tell you that Xu Damao has explained the whole process in detail. If you refuse to tell the truth about He Yuzhu's beating and protect the actual perpetrator, then you will inevitably be detained, because you are committing both slander and shielding!"
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, making the aunt realize that she had to tell the truth in the police station, otherwise she would be thrown into jail.
So the auntie hurriedly recounted the facts of He Yuzhu's beating, and the confession was considered complete after the auntie signed and put her fingerprints on it. Zhang Feng, who was recording on the side, was very satisfied.
In order to obtain more truthful confessions, he questioned everyone present at the scene of the courtyard in the same way as before, and the confessions he obtained piled up into a thick stack.
When they returned to the interrogation room of Uncle Yi Zhonghai, Uncle Yi Zhonghai quickly asked: "Police comrade, can we go home? He Yuzhu should be locked up, right?"
Zhang Feng said to Yi Zhonghai with a relaxed look: "According to the confessions of five people in the courtyard, except you, the deaf old lady, Jia Zhang and others, He Yuzhu beat people maliciously. The other residents of the courtyard who were present confirmed that He Yuzhu did not hurt people maliciously. He Yuzhu has been cleared of the injustice and does not need to be detained. But Comrade Yi Zhonghai, I formally inform you that you are in trouble - you will face charges for provoking incidents and slandering others!"
After saying that, Zhang Feng walked out of the room, leaving the old man Yi Zhonghai caught off guard.
After Director Wang learned the truth about He Yuzhu's beating, he deeply felt how difficult it was for He Yuzhu. There were so many weirdos in the same courtyard.
Following Director Wang's instructions, Zhang Feng released He Yuzhu and his sister He Yushui directly after taking the statement. He also released Xu Damao and his sister, as well as other residents of the courtyard who told the truth.
As soon as they left the police station, He Yuzhu and his sister met Xu Damao and his sister unexpectedly.
He Yuzhu was very grateful when he learned that Xu Damao was willing to expose the evil deeds of Yi Zhonghai and others as soon as possible, and was willing to testify that He Yuzhu did not mean to hurt anyone maliciously.
At this moment of unexpected meeting, the sound of vendors coming from the watermelon stall next to them interrupted He Yuzhu's thoughts.
Both sisters were drooling at the refreshing, sweet and tempting watermelon.
He Yuzhu walked towards the watermelon stall with a smile.
He planned to buy watermelons for Xu Damao and his sister to express his gratitude for helping him testify.
He Yuzhu cannot be considered a good person, but he is at least a person who can clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment.
Upon inquiry, the watermelon stall owner told He Yuzhu that a pound of watermelon was two cents. He Yuzhu bought four watermelons in total, each weighing about five pounds, and the total cost was 40 cents.
He Yuzhu paid one dollar and got sixty cents in change. He used the remaining money to buy other snacks and small hairpins.
Previously, He Yuzhu had 730 yuan in cash stored in his consciousness space. After deducting this one yuan expense, there were still 729 yuan left.
After paying the bill, He Yuzhu distributed the snacks and hairpins to He Yushui and Xu Xiaoyun.
“Thank you, bro.”
"Thank you, Brother Zhuzi."
He Yushui and Xu Xiaoyun seemed particularly happy about the snacks and hairpins given by He Yuzhu.
When he handed the two watermelons to Xu Damao, he said, "Da Mao, thank you very much for this time."
Hearing He Yuzhu's thanks, Xu Damao felt conflicted. He took the watermelon but glanced away, nervously defending himself: "There's no need to say thank you. I just don't want to see Yun'er being bullied."
Soon, it was night.
In the police station's jail, Jia Zhang, who was resting, was suddenly and violently harassed by a strong and fierce-looking woman nearby.
"Please, I'm just an old lady, please don't hit me." After waking up in shock, Jia Zhang couldn't help but plead in a low voice.
However, when Jia Zhang said this, the fierce woman retorted with even more enthusiasm: "I prefer someone older like you, it's more exciting!"
"Officer! Officer! I have important information to tell you." Seeing that the vicious woman did not stop at all, Jia Zhang yelled in a shrill voice.
When the policeman guarding outside heard that Jia Zhang was about to tell the truth, a sneer appeared on his face.
This vicious woman was actually designed by the bureau to make Jia Zhang tell the truth. This was an instruction personally issued by Director Wang, who said: "We will never allow those who have made great contributions to the capture of enemy spies to be slandered in the slightest! We cannot let any bad guys go! We must find out the truth!"
The police strictly followed Chief Wang's instructions, and they all said in their hearts: "The Chief is wise!"
At the same time, the treatment in the cells where the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui were imprisoned was completely different.
In order to get the two men to quickly tell the actual circumstances of He Yuzhu's beating, Police Officer Zhang Feng gave special instructions to the prison leader. As a result, Liu and Yan were constantly harassed and tortured - including being deprived of food, forced to stand by the toilet, stand upside down, and do push-ups continuously.
The prison leader was furious when they still refused to confess. He could no longer tolerate it and roared, "There are two options before you. First, tell Officer Zhang Shiyan immediately. Second, did you see the toilet where you were just standing? Lick it clean with your tongue!"
The prison leader shouted, "Choose one quickly!"
Seeing that the two uncles were still stubborn, the prison leader pushed the third uncle Yan Bugui to the side of the toilet and rubbed his face on it.
The second uncle Liu Haizhong witnessed all this and was so frightened that his pants were soaked. He ran to the gate of the prison and shouted, "Call the police officer over quickly. I have something to say!"
When Zhang Feng, who was outside the door, heard that Liu Haizhong was willing to confess, he smiled with satisfaction.
