In the end, Yi Zhonghai still couldn't bear the hunger, and had no choice but to put the steamed corn bread into his mouth bit by bit. Then he picked up the bowl and drank the water in one gulp, trying to get these hard-to-swallow steamed corn bread into his stomach quickly.

After eating a steamed corn bread and a bowl of water, Yi Zhonghai finally felt a little full, but this amount of food was far from enough to fill his stomach.

But he also understood that in a place like this, it was already good to have such treatment.

When he was taken away by the police station, he was only given two meals a day in the detention room. Each meal consisted of only a steamed corn bread and a bowl of water. He was not full at all. Moreover, the steamed corn bread in the police station was even smaller than those in the Public Security Bureau.

So even though Yi Zhonghai still felt extremely hungry, he could only endure it.

Because he knew very well that this was not a police station but a public security bureau, and he didn't know anyone here. If he accidentally angered these policemen, they might rush in and attack him, and the consequences would be disastrous.

The injuries on his body have not yet fully healed. If the old injuries are added to the new injuries, he might really be disabled.

So, Yi Zhonghai could only sit against the wall, silently thinking about the reason why he was arrested.

In fact, he was filled with fear and anxiety at the moment. Although he was always a highly respected and respected moral role model in the eyes of outsiders, only he knew best what shameful things he had done behind his back.

And now, what he is most worried about is that these secrets will be exposed.

After all, those people who had traded with him back then are all alive and well now, but they just don't live in the courtyard.

However, Yi Zhonghai changed his mind and felt that they would not betray him. After all, they were his accomplices in those things that happened back then. If they really exposed him, they would also be punished by law.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes began to become firm, but slowly turned into doubt.

Since it was impossible for those people to stab me in the back, why did the Public Security Bureau arrest me and even directly issue an arrest warrant?

Yes, the arrest warrant, it was the arrest warrant. Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered the arrest warrant.

When Yi Zhonghai saw the police coming to the hospital to arrest him, he stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning. His mind was in a mess, and he could only hear a buzzing sound, and was completely unable to hear the outside world or what was happening.

Then, when he saw that the doctor was unwilling to help him anymore and even directly asked him to be discharged from the hospital, Yi Zhonghai was even more at a loss.

In the end, he was taken away by the police. He was in a daze throughout the whole process and had long forgotten about the arrest warrant.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered the arrest warrant, which clearly stated the reason for his arrest.

So he began to try hard to recall the scene when he was arrested.

It must be admitted that Yi Zhonghai had a pretty good memory. Although his mind was in a mess at the time and it was difficult for him to hear the sounds around him, he did see the arrest warrant. As time went by, he gradually recalled the details of the time.

Although he did not hear clearly what the policeman said, the scene of the policeman handing him the arrest warrant for review was deeply imprinted in his memory.

Now, after careful recollection, Yi Zhonghai finally knew why he was arrested.

It turned out that it was really because of those things, but why were all three things suddenly exposed?

Yi Zhonghai firmly believed that someone must have reported him to the Public Security Bureau. Otherwise, how could the Public Security Bureau suddenly know about it after so many years and he had been safe and sound?

The people involved in these cases, the former canteen director and the two people who bought the workstations would never do such things that harm others and benefit themselves. They are equivalent to his accomplices, and if he goes to jail, they will not be able to escape.

As for Zhao Jiefang's family, his wife ran away, leaving only an old woman with two children. They had believed what he said at the time, and so many years had passed, so naturally they would not think of investigating it again.

Moreover, they did not have the ability to investigate. No one from the Zhao family was working at the steel mill, and they could not even enter the mill's gate.

Besides, his family depends on others for support, so it is naturally impossible for him to pay someone to conduct an investigation.

As for Sha Zhu and his sister, they definitely didn't know the truth, otherwise, given Sha Zhu's personality, he would have come to fight me with a kitchen knife.

He Yushui hasn't noticed any unusual behavior recently, and Bai Guafu hasn't told him that there's anything different about He Daqing.

This shows that they still don’t know about work stations and living expenses.

But it was precisely this that made Yi Zhonghai feel a little scared, since it was impossible for all the people involved in these cases to go to the Public Security Bureau to report him.

But now the Public Security Bureau knows about these three cases and has arrested both myself and the aunt. This can only mean that there is a mysterious person behind this matter who is controlling everything.

Then Yi Zhonghai began to connect together all the things that had happened in the recent period, and then analyzed them from a God's perspective.

First, he had a conflict with Zhou Jin, and then he threatened to retaliate against him, and the glass in his house was smashed that night.

Later, he had just discussed with the deaf old lady a strategy to deal with Zhou Jin, but the next day, his house and the deaf old lady's house were robbed one after another. Until now, there has been no progress at the police station.

Then he went to the steel mill to get an advance on his salary and borrow money, but that afternoon he was put in a sack by Liu Haizhong and was taken to the hospital. Moreover, Liu Haizhong actually hid the money he had robbed from him at home.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai began to feel a little confused. To be honest, he knew Liu Haizhong very well. In his opinion, Liu Haizhong would never do such a thing as putting a sack on himself.

But at that time, he indeed saw Liu Haizhong attacking him, and his money was indeed searched out from Liu Haizhong's house.

With such complete human and material evidence, no one would doubt that Liu Haizhong was innocent, even Yi Zhonghai thought so at the time.

But now, when he went through it again from the beginning, Yi Zhonghai found many things that could not be explained.

First of all, there were many outrageous things about the thefts in my house and the deaf old lady’s house.

If one wants to empty one's house overnight and steal all the money and food from the deaf old lady's house, then there must be someone who knows both one's own house and the deaf old lady's house very well, knows the furnishings in every corner of the two houses, and all the places where the money is hidden.

Moreover, the number of people in this group cannot be too small, otherwise it will be impossible for them to empty out all the things in their house.

This point alone is enough to rule out many people. In the entire courtyard, basically only Sha Zhu and a few people from the Jia family meet this requirement, but Yi Zhonghai believes that they are not capable of doing such a thing.

Secondly, that night, no one in the entire courtyard heard any noise outside. How was it possible that a large group of people emptied a house and no sound was made?

Even if they climbed over the wall and opened the gate of the courtyard, all the things were carried out through the gate.

But neither he nor the aunt had been drugged, and they were just asleep at the time. It was basically impossible for a human to sneak into their house quietly and move away all the pots, pans, tables and wardrobes.

Moreover, early the next morning after his house was robbed, someone from the bank saw him take his household registration book and passbook to the counter and withdraw all the money.

But I was at the street office at the time and had never been to the bank. This means that the group of people knew how to disguise themselves. In this case, it is very likely that the person who attacked me, Liu Haizhong, was disguised by the group of people.

Moreover, since that group of people were able to emptied their own house quietly, it is not impossible for them to put the envelope into Liu Haizhong's house quietly.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai was frightened by his own thoughts. If such a group of powerful people really targeted him, would he still have a way to survive?

If they really targeted me, then it wouldn't be surprising if the things I did before were found out. Moreover, these people only appeared after I had a conflict with Zhou Jin and he threatened to retaliate against me.

Then it is very likely that this group of people was hired by Zhou Jin to take revenge on him, and everything he suffered afterwards was definitely instigated by Zhou Jin.

After all, no matter how unlucky a person is, it is impossible for him to suffer such severe blows so many times in such a short period of time, losing his money, leaving his home empty-handed, and being hospitalized.

Therefore, the only possible explanation is that someone is targeting you.

Now that it has been confirmed that Zhou Jin is manipulating everything behind the scenes, how to break the impasse has become the most critical issue now.

But Yi Zhonghai is now being held here alone, and an old lady has also been taken to the public security bureau and is being held separately from him. Even if he wants to find someone to discuss things with, he can't.

And now there is no way to notify the deaf old lady. Yi Zhonghai’s only hope is to withstand the police’s interrogation and wait for the deaf old lady to find out that something happened to her.

Yi Zhonghai firmly believed that once the deaf old lady knew that she was in trouble, she would definitely find a way to rescue him.

Yi Zhonghai knew that if he couldn't bear the pressure and confessed, it would be all over.

He knew that he and Zhou Jin were mortal enemies, and he was at a disadvantage. If he confessed, Zhou Jin would definitely not let him go easily and would definitely try every means to put him in jail.

By then, not only will you lose your job, your reputation will be ruined, and you may even lose your courtyard house.

So no matter what, Yi Zhonghai could not admit that these things had anything to do with him.

As long as I don't admit it, even the Public Security Bureau wouldn't dare to torture me into confessing. By then, even if Zhou Jin came in person, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me.

At this moment, in the detention room next to Yi Zhonghai, an old lady was looking at the ceiling, repeating in her mind what the deputy director had said to her and what was written on the arrest warrant.

The aunt knew that Yi Zhonghai would not tell her many things, but she could never imagine that the man beside her would be so cruel.

It turned out that the miserable life of Sha Zhu and his sister in their childhood was caused by Yi Zhonghai, but he believed his words at the time, saying that only if he gave Sha Zhu and his sister something to eat when they were in the most difficult time, would they be grateful to him.

As for intercepting the living expenses that He Daqing sent to He Yushui, Yi Zhonghai gave the same explanation. He said that he was worried that they were young and would spend money lavishly, so he helped them save the money first and would return it to them after they got married.

Although the aunt thought that this practice was a bit too much, she couldn't have children herself, so she turned a blind eye and let him do what he wanted.

Anyway, I will help and take care of them, which can be regarded as doing good deeds for Yi Zhonghai.
