Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 284 Yi Zhonghai Arson Case (1)

  Street lights are on.

  The quiet night was broken, and the courtyard suddenly became noisy.

   "Comrade Cheng, did I make a mistake?"

  Zheng Daniu brought five or six policemen to the yard, and the crowd dispersed automatically.

   "I saw someone sneaking around, and thought it was a thief, but I didn't expect it to be a grandpa."

  The Comrade Cheng he was talking about was Cheng Hushan, the deputy director of the Hongxing Police Station.

   "No, you are right. If there is any suspicious incident, you can ask us to deal with it." Cheng Hushan said seriously.

   As he spoke, he came outside the woodshed, and immediately smelled a strong and pungent kerosene smell.

  Cheng Hushan's face changed, and his tiger eyes stared at Yi Zhonghai who was at a loss and sweating coldly inside.

   "Take control of Yi Zhonghai first, seal off the scene, and investigate carefully!" Cheng Hushan ordered with a wave of his hand.

  Four or five policemen swarmed up and handcuffed Yi Zhonghai, and another policeman turned on the flashlight to check from the inside out.

   "Leader, Yi Zhonghai has kerosene on hand." One of the policemen reported.

   As soon as the voice fell, someone said again: "Leader, there are obvious fingerprints on this kerosene barrel!"

  Yi Zhonghai was so frightened when he heard the words, he said excitedly:

   "No, no, no! I didn't pour the kerosene."

   "Director Cheng, I also got up to go to the bathroom and came here to check when I smelled something."

   Cheng Hushan looked majestic, and severely reprimanded:

   "Don't quibble and prevaricate, we will investigate the truth!"

  He glanced around at the crowd, and said to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui:

   "Comrade Liu, Comrade Yan, please gather all the people in your yard, including children, and hurry up!"

  Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui did not dare to neglect.

   Hastily ordered a few boys in his family to go to each courtyard and notify the residents to come over.

  He Yuzhu's house.

   "Zhuzi, it's noisy outside, why don't you go out and have a look." Widow Chen said gruffly.

  He Yuzhu woke up in a daze, hugged Widow Chen tightly, and said softly:

   "There's nothing to look at, it's all bullshit, I don't care about them."

  Widow Chen hesitated and said: "But there is such a big commotion outside, it seems that something really happened."

   "Hey, let's do it! These people won't feel comfortable if they don't make something happen the next day." He Yuzhu complained.

  He turned on the lamp, got up to get dressed, and saw Widow Chen handing over a piece of white cloth, saying:

   "You help me put this in the corner, I'll wash it when I get up tomorrow."

  He Yuzhu was shocked when he saw the blood stains on it, and looked at Widow Chen softly.

   "Xueying, I was too rude at night, I'm not human! I will treat you well in the future." He Yuzhu said tenderly.

   Widow Chen covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "You are my man, shouldn't you do this kind of thing?"

   As she spoke, she put away her smile and sighed: "I have something to confess to you, please forgive me."

   "Frankly? Just tell me what's going on, don't be unhappy." He Yuzhu waved his hand and smiled.

   Widow Chen lowered her eyes, tears dripped down in big drops instantly, she covered her nose and sobbed, crying uncontrollably.

  He Yuzhu suddenly panicked, squatted down, and said in relief:

   "Xueying, tell me if you have any grievances, don't just cry, you love me so much!"

   Widow Chen nodded, wiped her tears, her eyes were red, and whispered:

  “When I was seven or eight years old, I fell and got hurt, broke that one, and left a permanent scar on my lower abdomen.”

   "The doctor said that in my situation, the possibility of having children in the future is extremely small."

"This…"

  He Yuzhu frowned, feeling uncomfortable, and complained that Widow Chen only told him about it now.

  But when he saw the pitiful appearance of Widow Chen's pear blossom with rain, his heart softened again.

  Before I had time to reply, I heard Widow Chen say:

   "Because of this, I haven't had a successful blind date all these years."

   "When you met you, I really liked it, so I kept it a secret."

   "I was still wondering before, and I was too embarrassed to ask."

  He Yuzhu said suddenly, hearing that she liked him, he was elated, and expressed deep sympathy.

   "You are so beautiful, and the conditions are so good, why are you so old and not married, so that's how it is!"

   "Don't worry, the doctor said that the possibility of having a child is small, and he didn't say it can't!"

   Widow Chen hesitated for a moment, and said, "So I have adopted six children one after another over the years..."

   "What? Are you crazy? Uh... no, you are planning for a rainy day, and you are doing the right thing."

  He Yuzhu said in surprise, then he grabbed Widow Chen's hand and said distressedly:

   "What about those children? You have to raise them by yourself these years, and you have suffered a lot, right?"

  Widow Chen's parents died of illness a few years ago, and she has no siblings.

  Widow Chen confessed this situation when they first met.

  Widow Chen said in surprise, "You don't blame me?"

  He Yuzhu looked at the tear stains on her face, felt indescribably soft-hearted, shook his head and said:

   "How can I blame you, it's too late to hurt you!"

   Widow Chen immediately threw herself into his arms, crying, which made He Yuzhu very distressed.

   "Don't cry, you must have suffered a lot these years, let us raise those children together in the future!" He Yuzhu persuaded.

   "Well, I knew I found the right man, Zhuzi, thank you!" Widow Chen laughed through her tears.

   Seeing that she stopped crying, He Yuzhu felt relieved, smiled and said:

   "Since everything has been explained, you can bring the child here tomorrow!"

   While talking, someone knocked on the door outside and called:

   "Silly Zhu, take your daughter-in-law to gather in the yard, hurry up, something serious has happened!"

  …

  In the yard.

  Jiang Pingan stepped forward, took out a cigarette and handed it over, and asked Cheng Hushan:

   "Old Cheng, what happened in the middle of the night?"

   "Are you back from a business trip safely? Yi Zhonghai in your yard was involved in arson and is currently under investigation."

   Cheng Hushan took the cigarette and replied in a deep voice.

  Jiang Ping'an turned pale with shock, and said loudly, "Isn't it possible?"

   "The old man is in our yard, and he is famous for his reputation. How could he do such a stupid thing?"

   "This... If I hadn't been caught right, I wouldn't believe it!" Cheng Hushan spread his hands.

   "As for the specific situation, it remains to be investigated."

  Jiang Pingan took a long breath.

  He glanced sideways at Yi Zhonghai in the corner, squatting on the ground, facing the wall, with his hands behind his back.

  At this time, the first mother suddenly ran from home, crying in a shrill voice:

   "Old Yi, Lao Yi, what's wrong?"

  She was about to rush to Yi Zhonghai's side, but was stopped by several policemen.

  Big Mom's complexion changed, she turned her head and ran to Jiang Ping'an, with tears streaming down her face, she said:

   "Peace, please tell me quickly, how could your uncle set fire?"

   "You must save your uncle, if something happens to him, can I still live? Huh..."

  Jiang Pingan hadn't answered yet, Cheng Hushan said:

   "The family of the suspect, please stop making trouble, the matter is still under investigation."

   "Don't worry, we won't wrong the good people...but we won't let the bad people go!"

  Jiang Ping'an also persuaded: "Mom, the investigation is still going on, and I also believe that the old man is innocent."

   "Don't cry naked right now, you should cooperate with the police investigation, and try to help the uncle get rid of the suspicion earlier."
