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

At the Public Security Bureau, after Zhou Jin left, He Zhijun sat in the office and pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone on the table and called his wife, Director Wang.

"Hello, who is this?" Director Wang's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, wife, it's me, He Zhijun. I have something to tell you." He Zhijun said in a serious tone.

"What's the matter? Did something happen?" Director Wang asked nervously.

"Do you still remember Yi Zhonghai from Courtyard No. 95? Just now Zhou Jin came to me and reported Yi Zhonghai by real name. He said he was reselling other people's jobs privately and misappropriating other people's pensions and living expenses. The amount involved is huge. I have arranged for someone to investigate." He Zhijun explained.

"Humph, I've long felt that he was not a good person, but I didn't expect that he actually did so many dirty things in private. I was blind at the time to let such a person be the boss!" Director Wang said angrily.

"Yes, I've heard you praise him before, saying that under his leadership, Courtyard No. 95 has been an advanced courtyard every year. Now it seems that this person is very well hidden.

You must pay more attention on your side. After all, he is under your jurisdiction and he is also the person in charge appointed by your street office. You must reduce his influence on you.

Also, if I remember correctly, that Deputy Director Tang should be in the same group with them. You just need to know about this matter, and you must keep it confidential. The fact that Yi Zhonghai was able to bypass you and resume his position as the manager last time shows that he at least has connections in the district.

This time I will make this case an ironclad one and make sure he will never be able to turn over a new leaf." He Zhijun reminded.

"Don't worry, husband, I will pay attention. I have disliked Yi Zhonghai for a long time, but I didn't expect him to be so bad." Director Wang said angrily.

"Okay, let's do this for now. Remember not to make it known so as not to alert the enemy." He Zhijun warned.

"I understand, husband." Director Wang responded.

After hanging up the phone, He Zhijun stood up, walked to the door of the conference room, opened the door, and said to several confidants sitting inside: "Everyone come here, there is something I need you to do."

Everyone sat together and listened to He Zhijun explain the mission.

"There are two cases now, one is He Yuzhu's workstation reselling case, and the other is Zhao Jiefang's workstation reselling case. We must find evidence as soon as possible and bring the criminals to justice.

So I decided to split into three groups, one to investigate He Yuzhu's work station reselling case, focusing on the former canteen director of the Third Steel Rolling Mill and the person who bought the work station.

Another group is responsible for the reselling case of Zhao Jiefang's work position. They mainly investigate the people who bought Zhao Jiefang's work position. They also need to obtain the records of signing and receiving Zhao Jiefang's pension from the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

The remaining team was responsible for conducting external investigations into Yi Zhonghai's behavior in the steel mill and the courtyard over the years, as well as the living conditions of He Yuzhu and his sister since 1952.

Do you understand your respective tasks?" He Zhijun said seriously.

"I understand, Chief!" everyone answered in unison.

"Very good, let's set off immediately! Remember, you must be careful and not miss any clues." He Zhijun ordered.

Following He Zhijun's order, the three teams quickly took action and began an intensive and orderly investigation.

He Zhijun went to the post office with his secretary. This case was of utmost importance and he had to handle it personally.

Soon He Zhijun brought people to the post office.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, He Zhijun took out his work ID, identified himself, and asked to meet the leader on duty at the post office directly.

After a while, the post office director on duty came out. Because the case involved a criminal case, He Zhijun followed the director to the meeting room inside the post office.

He Zhijun asked his secretary to guard the door, and he told the post office director everything about how Yi Zhonghai had embezzled He Yushui's living expenses for more than eight years.

After hearing this, the post office director showed an expression of disbelief on his face and his eyes were filled with surprise and shock.

Although this incident had no direct relationship with the post office itself, as a responsible staff member, he felt deeply guilty.

After all, each courtyard house had a manager at that time, and in order to prevent enemy spies and facilitate management, the government required them to be responsible for receiving and processing the correspondence of the entire courtyard.

If I or my staff had been more careful at the time, perhaps this tragedy could have been avoided.

However, the post office director was also a military man with a strong sense of justice and responsibility.

When he learned that someone had so badly embezzled the living expenses of his two children, the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.

This Yi Zhonghai is really too much. He is not worthy of being a human being. Not only did he monopolize the living expenses of two innocent children, he also continued this behavior for nearly nine years!

This is almost the same as wanting to starve the two children to death! You know, in that difficult era, people would cherish every item, even a piece of rag or a thread, which would be carefully collected for emergency use.

Therefore, almost no one would throw away garbage at will, which means that the "scavenging" life of He Yuzhu and He Yushui is actually extremely difficult, and they may even face the threat of hunger.

The post office director wanted to arrest Yi Zhonghai and shoot him, saying that such a person did not deserve to live in this world.

Later, after being persuaded by He Zhijun, the post office director finally calmed down and arranged for someone to retrieve the letters that He Daqing had sent back over the years.

About ten minutes later, a staff member walked into the reception room holding a registration book.

The post office director took the registration book and began to check it. Since the beginning of 1952, He Daqing began to send letters from Baoding to Sijiucheng, and he would send ten yuan with the letters every time.

Once a month, it is very regular, and every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival and February 2th, I will send an extra five dollars.

And the signature of the recipient of these letters and money was always Yi Zhonghai without exception.

At the end of every month, He Daqing would send letters on time, and Yi Zhonghai was also very punctual, basically coming to pick up the letters around the 10th of every month.

After obtaining the most important evidence, He Zhijun chatted with the post office director for a few words, and then went directly to the Hongxing Police Station.

The next step is to search Yi Zhonghai's home, but it is definitely not possible with just the two of them. It would be a waste of time to go back to the bureau to call for help at this time.

Therefore, He Zhijun decided to ask Ho Tung directly for the person.

When Ho Tung saw that his father came in person to ask for the person, he naturally did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

After all, He Zhijun is not only his biological father, but also his immediate superior.

Moreover, he was very curious about his father's actions and wanted to know what was going on.

So he agreed to his father's request without hesitation and followed him to Courtyard No. 95.

Along the way, He Zhijun never disclosed the specific details of the case in order to maintain confidentiality.

It was not until they arrived at the courtyard that He Dong realized that things might be more serious than he had imagined. There had been too many things happening in this courtyard recently, and each one was a serious criminal case.

Now that his father came in person, it meant that this matter was more serious than what happened before, which in turn aroused He Dong's curiosity.

When He Zhijun and He Dong entered the courtyard with five or six public security personnel, they went straight to the east wing of the central courtyard.

Since Yi Zhonghai had always required that every household in the courtyard not lock their doors, this greatly facilitated the police's search.

After all, there was no one in Yi Zhonghai's house at the moment, and if they broke in by force, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

If everyone saw the police break in the door without knowing it, it might damage the police's image. But there was no other way. The things that Yi Zhonghai had done could not be made public for now, so it would be better if there was less trouble.

He Dong took the lead, pushed open the door and walked in. Then He Zhijun led the other police officers in and began to search.

Because Zhou Jin had basically moved out everything in Yi Zhonghai's house, leaving only a bed and a quilt, as well as a small pot and a few sets of bowls and chopsticks borrowed from the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai received an advance on his salary from the steel rolling mill, but before he had time to buy furniture, he was beaten and sent to the hospital.

So now Yi Zhonghai's house can basically be checked out at a glance, but He Dong did not take it lightly. He led the police to search Yi Zhonghai's house carefully.

After searching for about five or six minutes, a police officer discovered something unusual. After he removed the floor tile, he saw a small hole on the ground with an iron box inside. So he quickly took out the iron box and handed it to He Zhijun.

He Zhijun took the iron box, opened it, and found it was full of letters. He Zhijun gave some of them to He Dong. After checking, he found that these letters were all sent by He Daqing to He Yushui.

After getting what he wanted, He Zhijun put the letter back into the iron box, handed the box to his secretary, and then left with He Dong and the others.

The aunties and young wives in the courtyard had already run to the central courtyard when He Zhijun and his companions came in.

But they were just a group of housewives and did not have the courage to step forward and ask. The eldest uncle was recuperating in the hospital, the second uncle was in labor reform, and the third uncle also went to work. He had a lot of classes today and could not sneak back early.

So everyone stood in the yard to watch the fun. After all, it was Yi Zhonghai's house that was searched by the police, and it had no impact on them. As long as it was not their own business, it didn't matter.

So there was no commotion in the Intermediate Courtyard. Everyone was standing in the yard, watching He Zhijun and his men searching Yi Zhonghai's house, and at most they would whisper a few words from time to time.

Because of this, Zhou Jin in the backyard had no idea that He Zhijun and his men acted so quickly. The letter that he had just put there at noon was searched away by them in the afternoon.

However, I have to sigh here that Zhou Jin's luck is really good. If he had thought of this matter a little later, he might have failed. But fortunately, everything is developing in the direction Zhou Jin imagined.
