Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

After the three policemen left the hospital, they split up. A young policeman went to the steel mill to take Liu Haizhong to the police station for interrogation, while the older policeman took another policeman to search the courtyard directly.

Liu Haizhong did not go to the street office today to apply for a donation meeting for Yi Zhonghai. He knew what kind of people were in the courtyard. If it were such a difficult time now, he would go to the street office to apply.

No matter what the final result is, as long as people know that he was the one who applied for it, his status in Siheyuan will be greatly affected. Therefore, Liu Haizhong naturally would not do such a thankless task.

However, Liu Haizhong was in a good mood today. The disaster that had befallen his mortal enemy would basically not affect his status in the future. He felt it was a great thing no matter how he thought about it.

Therefore, Liu Haizhong's attitude towards his disciples was much better today, which surprised all his disciples.

You know, although Liu Haizhong teaches his disciples to be honest, he has a bad temper. He will beat or scold them if he is not satisfied. It is normal for everyone to feel surprised that he spoke to them with such a smile today.

Some brave ones bravely asked Liu Haizhong.

"Master, what good thing has happened to you that makes you so happy?"

"Hahaha, you're the smart one. You saw it right away. I won't hide it from you. I did run into something good. It's also very important. It's a pity that I can't tell you for the time being."

"Ah, what's the matter? You can't tell me?"

"Well, I can't tell you for now, but when I can, I will tell you.

Well, time's up, get to work."

Although everyone returned to their respective posts to work, Liu Haizhong also picked up his hammer and prepared to work.

At this time, two people from the security department and a public security officer came to the forging workshop.

"Excuse me, who is Liu Haizhong?" the police officer asked.

Suddenly the police came to find him. Liu Haizhong was confused, but he still put down the hammer and stood up.

"Comrade Public Security, I am Liu Haizhong. May I ask what you want to talk to me about?"

"Nothing, our police station has a case and needs your help in the investigation. Please come with me."

The young policeman looked at Liu Haizhong after he finished speaking.

Although Liu Haizhong didn't know what was going on, he didn't have the courage to confront the police station.

"Okay, Public Security Comrade, I will definitely help with the investigation. I'll go with you right away."

Afterwards, the young police officer and two comrades from the security department took Liu Haizhong away from the steel mill.

As soon as Liu Haizhong left, the entire forging workshop was in an uproar. Everyone was discussing what Liu Haizhong had done wrong and why he was taken away by the police station.

Anyway, there are all kinds of guesses, and the more guesses they make, the more outrageous they become. I can't even type out those words, and I guess they won't pass the review.

This is the characteristic of this era. No matter who you are, as long as you are taken away by the police, rumors about you will immediately start flying around, and they will only become more and more outrageous.

This really proves the old saying that it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of running around to dispel it. However, in this day and age, it is impossible to dispel a rumor by just running around.

At the same time, in the courtyard, two police officers, led by the third aunt, came to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard. Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi went to work, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were out, and only the second aunt was at home.

The third aunt looked at the second aunt's puzzled eyes and said.

"Auntie, these two police officers said they wanted to see you for something, so I helped bring them here. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, please excuse me, Auntie."

After saying this, the third aunt left the backyard, but she didn't go far. Instead, she lay on the porch and looked at the backyard.

When the second aunt saw that everyone had left, she began to ask.

"Comrade Public Security, what's going on?"

The older police officer said, "It's like this. We suspected Liu Haizhong was involved in a case of malicious assault and robbery, so we came to his house to search."

"Ah, how is this possible? This is impossible. My old Liu would never do such a thing. He is a seventh-level blacksmith with a monthly salary of more than 80 yuan. My eldest son is also a technician, and he also earns 40 or 50 yuan a month. Our family is not short of money at all. We would never do such a thing."

The second aunt was shocked by what the police said. She would never believe it.

"Comrade, we are only suspicious now, so we came here to search and collect evidence. If we don't find any evidence, we will naturally clear Liu Haizhong's name.

Now please move aside, we are going to search the house."

The second aunt was a housewife. When she heard the police's tone become more serious, she immediately gave way and allowed the police to enter the house to search.

The two policemen searched the house for more than ten minutes and found a lot of money, but none of it met the requirements. Finally, the older policeman suddenly noticed something unusual under the bed where Liu Haizhong was sleeping.

He hurried over, squatted down and looked inside, and found that a floor tile had been moved, and the soil around it was new, so he quickly reached out to feel around.

A minute later, a special envelope for the steel rolling mill containing more than one hundred yuan was placed on the table.

The older policeman immediately determined that these were the money and envelope that were stolen from Yi Zhonghai. He looked at the second aunt and asked.

"Comrade, may I ask if this envelope and the money inside belong to your family?"

Second Aunt looked at the envelope and she didn't know whether it was hers or not, because she didn't manage money at home at all. Except for the monthly expenses for food and clothing, all other money was managed by Liu Haizhong.

"Comrade Public Security, I don't know about this. My husband manages the money at home, so I'm not sure. But since it appeared in my house, it should be mine."

The older policeman looked at the second aunt's reaction and realized that she really didn't know the truth, so he didn't plan to ask more questions.

"Well, since you don't know, I won't ask any more questions. This envelope and the money inside are evidence in our case. Now we need to take him back to the police station.

Of course, I will write you a certificate on the spot. If the money is not evidence at that time, we will return it intact. Don't worry, we will not take your money privately."

After the older policeman finished speaking, the young policeman next to him had already written a certificate. He then placed the certificate and pen in the second aunt's seat, motioning her to take a look at the certificate. If there was no problem, she could sign it.

Second Aunt had attended a literacy class a few years ago, so she knew the commonly used characters. After confirming that everything was correct, she signed and put her fingerprints on it.

The two police officers did not stay for long. They took the certificate, put the envelope in it, and left the courtyard.

After the police left, the courtyard became lively again.

Everyone started talking about what had just happened. Their curiosity had been aroused to the extreme, because there were so many things happening in the courtyard in the past few days that it was overwhelming.

Some people speculated whether Liu Haizhong had done something wrong, while others thought it might be related to Yi Zhonghai, but no one could tell clearly what exactly happened.

So everyone ran to the backyard to ask Second Aunt.

The second aunt knew very well that she couldn't talk about this matter casually, otherwise it would bring trouble to herself.

So she had an idea and made up an excuse, saying that the police came to investigate the beating of an old man, after all, Liu Haizhong was the second old man.

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, it is much better than directly telling them that Liu Haizhong has done something wrong.

After listening to what the second aunt said, everyone seemed to believe it a little, but they still had some doubts.

However, since Second Aunt said so, they didn't dare to ask any further questions.

So, everyone chatted for a while and then went about their own business. Some continued to make lunch, while others went back to their rooms to rest.

The second aunt heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing that she didn't tell the truth, otherwise she really didn't know how it would end.

When the older policeman returned to the police station, Liu Haizhong had already been taken to the interrogation room.

So there was no further delay and the interrogation began directly. After all, there were too many things to do in the station, and it would be better to finish the trial and close the case as soon as possible when there was both witnesses and physical evidence.

The older policeman walked into the interrogation room and sat opposite Liu Haizhong. The younger policeman next to him also took out paper and pen, ready to take notes at any time.

Before the police could speak, Liu Haizhong couldn't help it.

"Public security comrade, what do you mean by bringing me here? What have I done wrong?" Liu Haizhong stared at the public security officer in front of him with his eyes wide open, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

"Since you are so anxious, I won't beat around the bush and will tell you directly."

The public security officer said with a serious expression: "We now have evidence that you attacked and beat Yi Zhonghai from behind at 6:20 pm yesterday in Dongmianhua Hutong, using a sack to cover him and robbed him of 125 yuan in cash.

We have taken a statement from Yi Zhonghai, and he confirmed that he saw you putting the sack on him at that time. We just came back from your house and found an envelope containing 125 yuan under the blue bricks under your bed. The envelope was also from your steel mill.

Now that we have all the evidence, why don't you tell the truth?"

Hearing the public security officer's words, Liu Haizhong's face turned pale instantly and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

Except for going to work yesterday, he stayed at home all the time. He had never seen Yi Zhonghai at all, let alone robbed him!

What was going on? Was someone deliberately framing him?

"Comrade Public Security, I really didn't do these things! Did you make a mistake?" Liu Haizhong explained anxiously.

"The evidence is irrefutable. Do you still want to deny it?" The public security officer sneered, "You'd better tell the truth and try to get a lighter sentence. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

Liu Haizhong suddenly fell into despair, he didn't know how to prove his innocence. This sudden charge made him feel extremely wronged and angry, he decided to find out the truth and clear his grievances...

"Comrade Gong'an, please listen to me! This matter really has nothing to do with me! I swear! After meeting Yi Zhonghai at work yesterday morning, I haven't met him again!

And I didn't work overtime yesterday, so I went home directly after get off work. I didn't even run into him on the way, so how could I have put him in a sack?

Besides, he and I have been neighbors for more than ten years, and we are both in charge. We have no grudges against each other. Why should I do such a thing?

This doesn't make sense at all. Someone must be trying to harm me. You need to investigate this thoroughly!"

"Since you are crying out for injustice, then tell me, who did you leave with after get off work yesterday, what time did you get home, and did you leave the yard after you got home?" asked the public security comrade.

Liu Haizhong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied: "Comrade Gong'an, my apprentices all worked overtime yesterday, so I left the steel mill alone.

You can go to the steel mill and ask about this. They all saw me leaving the workshop, and there was also a security guard at the gate to testify when I walked out.

I remember I arrived home around 6:. Yan Bugui saw me at that time. I chatted with him for a few minutes before I went home.

After that, I stayed at home and never went out again.”
