Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Seeing Director Zhao's tacit approval, the people in the compound naturally did not dare to speak out. Everyone confirmed that Li Gang and his sister had never been to the middle courtyard during the day.

Director Zhao did not deliberately make things difficult for them, and publicly stated: "According to our investigation, Li Gang is not the suspect in the case of Lin Ruolin's family."

In fact, the residents of the slum are well aware of the situation.

Li Gang smiled and said to Director Zhao: "Since I am innocent, I hope Director Zhao can help me clear my name."

The yard suddenly fell silent. Everyone remembered that the crimes Li Gang had exposed were far more serious than those of a thief.

To rectify the name means to punish Wang Dali, the third manager, which is an unprecedented move.

The residents never thought that the uncle in charge would also be sanctioned.

Gao Zhijun secretly thanked himself for not slandering Li Gang, and immediately said: "Director Zhao, Li Gang, everyone can testify that I only said one sentence tonight. What he said has nothing to do with me."

The looks that Wang Dali, Liu Guoqiang and others cast at Gao Zhijun were as sharp as knives.

"Lao Gao, you..."

Gao Zhijun responded categorically: "I didn't do it, and I can't lie to Director Zhao."

He thought he could escape this way, but he obviously underestimated the complexity of the situation. He must be responsible for his own choice.

"Director Zhao, although this uncle did not directly accuse me tonight, Wang Dali and Liu Guoqiang said that these things were discussed by the three of them when they slandered me, and Gao Zhijun did not refute it at the time. Therefore, I believe that these actions were jointly planned by them. Whether Gao Zhijun was forced to join or acquiesced to his accomplice, this is for you to investigate."

Gao Zhijun was so shocked by this that he broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Li Gang in shock. However, Wang Dali, Liu Guoqiang and others looked gloating.

Director Zhao did not choose to keep quiet. Instead, he accepted Li Gang's report and decided to bring Wang Dali and others back for investigation.

Gao Zhijun was stunned. He was different from the others. Wang Dali and his colleagues were workers, so they would not lose their jobs even if they were taken to the police station. But he was a teacher. If he was taken away by the police, how would he explain to the school? Which school would dare to hire a teacher with a police record?

"Director Zhao, I have always been opposed to the criticism of Li Gang. I was not aware of Lao Wang and Lao Liu's decision in advance. I was forced."

"Old Gao, you are talking nonsense!" Liu Guoqiang said angrily, scolding Gao Zhijun.

Wang Dali ignored Gao Zhijun's explanation and turned to Li Gang, asking, "We are all neighbors, why are you so heartless? If you continue like this, you will cut off all your relationships in the compound, and no one will help you anymore."

This is clearly a threat, which shows that the lesson has not been profound enough to make him change his ways.

Li Gang had already reported the matter to the police so as not to dirty his hands again.

"Director Zhao, I think Wang Dali is using the residents of the compound to threaten me and coerce other residents. I hope you can handle this according to the law and not let him off the hook just because he's a senior technician."

Wang Dali glared at Li Gang angrily: "I didn't." He would never dare to admit the threat in front of Director Zhao.

Whether it was done or not needs to be determined through investigation. How can it be decided by just one sentence from you?

Although Director Zhao did not take Wang Dali and others away immediately, he was determined to investigate the entire compound. The situation here was extremely bad. More than 2,000 yuan in cash was stolen, but the victim did not call the police, but waited for the manager to solve the problem.

This alone is enough to trigger a full investigation. The fundamental problem is that the residents lack legal awareness and were deceived by Wang Dali and others.

As a manager, Wang Dali must have received legal publicity from the street, but after receiving education, he still instigated the staff in the hospital to violate the law, and used tough means. Why did he do this? What was his purpose? Even whether he had a spy background? These are all important issues to investigate.

What happened in the yard was really chaotic. Stationmaster Zhao really wanted to take all these people away and interrogate them to prevent any major incidents from happening in the future.

"Old lady, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'm a police officer. Since someone called the police, I must handle it according to the law."

This sentence is quite straightforward. Li Wu and others will never be let off because of personal feelings.

The deaf grandmother also understood what he meant. She turned to look at Liu Da and said, "Liu Da, for what happened today, you have to apologize to Wu Zi and compensate Qin Er Niang for her loss. Let's forget about this matter. I can accept you living in the yard."

Listening to this sentence, we know that the deaf grandmother has not yet recognized the current situation. At this time, not only did she not admit defeat, she also wanted to force Liu Da to bow his head.

Although Qin Erniang's money was indeed Liu Dana's, they could not produce any evidence. Without evidence, would Liu Da be afraid of them?

But Liu Da still wanted to observe Stationmaster Zhao's attitude. If he could really be fair and just, Liu Da didn't want to cause trouble for him.

But to Liu's disappointment, Stationmaster Zhao did not make any comment.

"Stationmaster Zhao, the deaf old lady is threatening me. I hope you can give me a fair explanation."

What can Stationmaster Zhao do? After hearing what the deaf grandmother said, he knew that the situation was a bit tricky. But the deaf grandmother was old and often pretended to be deaf and dumb, so Stationmaster Zhao really didn't know how to deal with it.

Hearing Liu Da's request, Stationmaster Zhao said helplessly: "Old lady, Liu Da is not a thief. It is unreasonable to ask him to pay money."

Pretending to be deaf and dumb is the deaf grandmother's specialty, and now is the time to show it off.

"What did you say? Are you going to sentence him to death? Xiao Zhao, there's no need. As long as he apologizes to Wu Zi and compensates Qin Er Niang for her losses, we'll let it go."

Everyone knew that the deaf grandmother was pretending to be deaf, but they also knew that there was no way to deal with this old woman who was about to die.

Li Wu and others even showed complacent smiles.

Is it possible that Stationmaster Zhao is helpless against the deaf grandma?

not always.

If this happened in modern society, the police would probably face enormous public pressure if they arrested an old man of this age, as there are too many people who love to make up stories and have ulterior motives.

But in the courtyard, there is no such worry. The deaf grandmother has no children, and no one really cares about her. Li Wu and Lao Han are just a little more kind than others.

Rumor has it in the courtyard that the deaf grandmother was taken care of by Li Wuyi, and Lao Han would occasionally cook for her and show his filial piety.

But Lao Han was the chef in the factory canteen and brought leftovers home every day. He didn't give these leftovers to the deaf grandmother or He Xiaoyu, but all to Qin Erniang.

Don’t Li Wu and Lao Han know that the deaf grandmother likes to eat it?

Of course they knew it, but they still gave the leftovers to Qin Erniang without hesitation, letting the deaf mother-in-law and Li Wu eat the food without any oil.

From this we can see that the deaf grandmother does not actually have a high status in their hearts.

If something really happened to the deaf grandmother and they were asked to take responsibility, they would most likely not stand up for her.

However, the deaf grandmother did not break the law, so it is not convenient to pursue her.

"Stationmaster Zhao, you also heard what the deaf grandmother said. On the first day I came to the courtyard, I suspected that they were a gang, and tonight my suspicion was confirmed. As their ancestor, the deaf grandmother was probably involved in this. I hope you can enforce the law impartially and never let any bad guy go."

Stationmaster Zhao understood what Liu Da meant, but he was unwilling to arrest the deaf grandmother just because of this speculation. That would be too cruel.

"Comrade Liu, you have to trust the staff of the subdistrict office. They will investigate the matter. The deaf grandmother is old, so there is no need to inquire at the police station again."

It sounds reasonable, but Liu Da doesn't buy it.

Just look at the smiles on the faces of the deaf grandma and others.

"Stationmaster Zhao, everyone is equal before the law. No matter how high or low your official position, no matter how wealthy you are, no matter how old you are, if someone breaks the law, we must investigate them to the end. For illegal gangs, we must not only investigate the participating members, but also the umbrellas behind them. In some cases, the umbrellas behind illegal gangs are the most dangerous."

Liu Da’s meaning is clear: if you don’t arrest or try the criminal, then you are shielding him.

Stationmaster Zhao understood and felt that it was even more difficult. He really wanted to know how the deaf grandmother had angered Liu Da, and why Liu Da insisted on taking the deaf grandmother back to the police station to spend the night.

Yes, overnight.

Even if Li Wu and others are arrested tonight, it has nothing to do with the deaf grandma, so there is no need to take her away for interrogation.

But the other party insisted, so Stationmaster Zhao had to take the deaf grandmother away. After all, she said the same thing as Li Wu.

It's not surprising that Liu Da suspected that they had discussed it beforehand.

Stationmaster Zhao walked up to Liu Da and asked softly, "Do you really want to do this? The deaf grandmother is old, what if something happens to her?"

Liu Da also answered in a low voice: "Whatever happens, just deal with it. If she didn't intervene, I wouldn't do it. I just retired from the battlefield, would I be afraid? As for the reason, you should have guessed it.

The two looked up at Director Zhang, "Director Zhang, he can't be that powerful."

Director Zhang snorted, "Didn't you hear him introduce himself just now? The Y Corps is a well-known elite force, and it's currently active on the front lines. Even with me in the fold, we're still no match for them."

The two looked at each other in bewilderment. Director Zhang had always been admired for his fairness and strength, but Wang Qiang's martial arts skills could be imagined to have made him feel inferior.

One person asked: "What if we have guns?"

"If you're that close to him, holding a gun is just like having an extra stick. You have to remember that we are law enforcers, don't just pull out guns and point them at people." Although they had doubts, the two did not dare to refute.

Director Zhang was afraid that the two would go looking for trouble with Wang Qiang, so he continued, "When you have a chance to confront him, you will know that what I said is true."

Another person asked again: "Director, why are you so polite to him?"

Director Zhang smiled and said, "You finally got to the point. People who have retired from the army are usually assigned to the Security Department first. The Security Department has a close relationship with us and can be considered as half a colleague. He is likely to work at the largest steel mill nearby."

"Is this true? He and Master Li are both in the same factory, so why did they send them here?"

Director Zhang sighed and said, "Why do you think he can tolerate it? If it were you, could you accept people like Yi Zhiming?" The two thought of the investigation and shook their heads. If they were him, they would probably do the same.
