Back to Yi Zhonghai's case, neither the Public Security Bureau nor other relevant departments will let him off easily.

As there was a knock on the door, Yan Bugui put on his coat and stood up, muttering:

This guy is really ignorant. Why did he have to go to the market? Why did he have to knock on the door so loudly?

When he got straight to the point, he swallowed back the words he had intended to scold Yi Zhonghai. Facing the police officer outside the door, Yan Bugui smiled and greeted:

"Comrade police, what can I do for you so late at night?" the policeman asked.

"Does Yi Zhonghai live here?" Yan Bugui responded:

"Yes, Yi Zhonghai is a resident of our courtyard. May I ask what happened?"

The police officer stated everything succinctly: "Your neighbor Yi Zhonghai went to buy meat from a certain place and the price was higher than expected. He then called the police and led us to carry out the arrest operation. However, during the operation, he tried to escape but was accidentally beaten in the leg by others. He has been sent to the First People's Hospital for treatment. I came here specially to inform his family."

The police officer did not go into detail about what happened next, such as the details of his punishment, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings or conflicts.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui couldn't believe what he saw: The smart and capable Yi Zhonghai actually did such a stupid thing?

Although he was full of doubts, considering that the visitor was a law enforcement officer, he still responded cautiously: "Please follow me."

Afterwards, Yan Bugui led the police into the inner courtyard and started knocking on the door of Yi Zhonghai's house, but the housewife of the house already knew about her husband's actions.

Hearing a knock on the door, the old lady hurriedly got up to open the door. Just as she was about to greet the other party, she saw Yan Bugui standing at the door and couldn't help asking:

"Uncle, it's so late, what's the matter?"

After hearing this, Yan Bugui opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak. So he said to the aunt helplessly:

"People from the Public Security Bureau are here to see you. They have something to tell you."

After saying that, Yan Bugui stepped aside and signaled the comrades from the Public Security Bureau to go in. Hearing this, the aunt realized that something was wrong and that something must have happened to Yi Zhonghai.

She looked at the police with uneasiness, and only listened to them briefly describe what Yi Zhonghai had done and his current situation. After listening to it, the aunt could not believe that her husband would do such a thing, after all, it was totally unreasonable. But the police continued:

"Please pack your things as soon as possible and bring some money. Your husband has been sent to the First Hospital."

After the police left, although they had seen similar things many times, they were unwilling to argue with the family members to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, the aunt was not the kind of person who would argue. After the police walked away, she came to her senses and turned to Yan Bugui and asked:

"Uncle, did the incident that the person who just came here said really happen to Yi Zhonghai?"

Yan Bugui nodded:

"Yes, but that's not the old Yi we are familiar with. Old Yi would never do such a thing!"

The aunt also didn't believe that Yi Zhonghai would do this. She said to herself, "This is simply nonsense!" But no matter what, she still had to face reality, so she said to Yan Bugui:

"Uncle, I'll go pack my things and go to the hospital."

Yan Bugui nodded and said:

"Okay, go ahead. If you need any help, feel free to come back to us. We are all willing to lend a hand."

The aunt thanked him:

"Thank you, Uncle Three!"

After that, he started packing his luggage and went to the hospital. Yan Bugui returned home and sat on a stool. His wife and children looked at him curiously. He sighed and told his wife everything that had happened.

The wife was stunned and asked:

"What? You just said the real Yi Zhonghai?"

Yan Bugui said:

"Yeah, I don't understand either, but the police are here, could it be fake? Auntie has already packed her things and is going to the hospital."

The wife said puzzledly:

"How could a smart man like Yi Zhonghai do such a stupid thing?"

Yan Bugui nodded, also confused:

"That's right, this is incredible!"

At the same time, at the hospital, the aunt arrived with her packed belongings. At the police station, several policemen were discussing:

"Do you think Yi Zhonghai has a mental problem?"

Another police officer responded:

"That shouldn't be the case. He works in a steel mill and is a senior seventh-level fitter. This level of skill is definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve!"

"That's right. If you can reach the seventh level of benchwork, there must be nothing wrong with your brain. It is said that it is very difficult to become a senior technician!"

"That's true, but what happened today is not something a rational person would do!" "That's right, it's too unusual!"

At the hospital, the aunt had just arrived and saw that Yi Zhonghai had been wrapped in gauze and his entire lower leg was in a cast. The doctor saw her coming and asked:

"Are you a relative of the patient?" The aunt nodded and said:

"Yes, I am Yi Zhonghai's wife." The doctor continued:

"Here is a list of fees to be paid. Please go and pay first, and then we will give you the receipt. He works at the steel mill, and he can get reimbursed by the factory when the time comes."

The aunt nodded and said:

"Thank you, doctor, but I don't know what happened to my man. Can you tell me the details?"

The doctor explained:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that my calf was broken. I need to rest for a while and don't put any weight on the injured leg. It will be fine after a while of rest. It's nothing serious."

Hearing this, the aunt felt very distressed. Her husband was already so old, but he had to suffer like this. But she didn't say much, but said to the doctor:

"Thank you, thank you, I will pay the fee now!"

After completing the formalities, the aunt packed up all the receipts, thinking that these expenses could be reimbursed, so at least she wouldn't have wasted more than a dozen dollars.

Afterwards, she entered the ward and asked Yi Zhonghai:

"My dear, what's wrong with you?"

Yi Zhonghai himself was confused, and when he saw his wife coming, he said:

"I don't know what happened. I just remember going to buy meat, and when I woke up I was already in bed. I was attacked, and the police said I was the one who called the police. That's impossible! I'm not stupid. How could I buy meat and then call the police? This is already very strange. Why would I call the police when I clearly bought the meat? But they insisted that I was the one who called the police!"

The aunt asked doubtfully:

"Did you call the police?"

Yi Zhonghai said unhappily:

"What are you thinking? How could it be **? Am I that stupid? Besides, I don't remember anything. The police can't wrongly accuse me. There's no deep hatred between us!"

The policeman standing by heard their conversation and felt that Yi Zhonghai's thinking was clear and his logic was reasonable, but how could such a smart person do such a stupid thing?

The aunt also didn't believe that her man would do such a thing, so she asked:

"You mean to say that the police said you called the police, but you don't remember it at all?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded in confirmation:

"Yes, that's what it means."

Auntie said tentatively:

"Old Yi, have you encountered something weird? After all, no one who knows you would believe that you would do such a thing. Besides, you only get 87 yuan a month, so you don't need to call the police just for a little more expensive meat!"

Besides, if you don’t want it, you don’t have to buy it. The quota we give you is already quite a lot. You are a senior technician and you have a fixed supply of meat every month.

I would never do such a thing!

After hearing what the old lady said, Yi Zhonghai felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. Could it be true? If not, how could he explain his own situation?

After hearing what the old lady said, the two policemen also felt that the matter was quite suspicious, but they confirmed that it was indeed Yi Zhonghai who came in person to report the case.

At that time, when Yi Zhonghai arrived, the interior furniture had just been painted. Yi Zhonghai accidentally touched it and the wet yellow paint was stained on his clothes.

When Yi Zhonghai was brought back for the second time, he had not been to the duty room, so it was impossible for him to be stained with paint. They just saw with their own eyes the yellow paint residue on the table in the duty room.

It couldn't be anyone else. The evidence from both times pointed to the same suspect. Thinking of this, the two policemen looked at each other and felt the room suddenly become chilly. One of them said:

"She is your husband's wife, right?" The old lady nodded:

"That's right!" the policeman continued.

"We still have some official business to do, but someone has to keep an eye on the duty room. You can take care of your husband first, and I'll contact you when he gets better!"

The lady responded:

"Okay, thank you very much! If you hadn't sent my Lao Yi here in time, I really don't know what to do!"

The police thought that one of their colleagues had already informed the old lady of the incident, so it would be difficult for Yi Zhonghai to escape. After the injured person recovers, they will naturally hold him accountable.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai's leg injury was obviously related to his attacker.

But what can be done? The victim had no idea who had beaten him, and only a broken stick was left at the crime scene.

The others knew nothing, but the two policemen knew very well that this incident was by no means the end, and they expected that the group of evil guys would never let Yi Zhonghai go.

However, there was not enough evidence to take action at the moment. The two looked at each other for a moment and sighed helplessly.

Back at the police station, the chief was quite surprised to see the two of them and asked:

"Why are you back if you're not going to the hospital?"

The two policemen reported the details of the hospital, one of whom explained:

"Director, now we know Yi Zhonghai's home address and workplace. He is a seventh-level fitter. How can he escape?

And there was no need for substantial intervention locally. The doctor also said that since both legs were broken, there was nothing else to do except rest.

Even if we take him away, if he is permanently disabled, we will be held responsible, right? "

The director considered it carefully and thought that the two people's opinions made sense, and the situation they described was indeed strange.

After talking to him, he learned that the man's condition was quite difficult. Thinking of this, the director approved their proposal.
