Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

"Do you really think you can get the money so easily?" The driver sneered, "To tell you the truth, I have already called the police. You are suspected of extortion, just wait for the police to come and deal with you!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, his face turned pale.

Only then did I realize that I had been tricked by this seemingly ordinary driver.

He stood up in panic and tried to run away, but was grabbed by the driver.

Sha Zhu was frightened by the driver's sudden action and struggled to break free from the driver, but the driver was much stronger than him.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door and several public security officers rushed in.

"It's him, he kidnapped me!" the driver pointed at Sha Zhu and shouted.

Sha Zhu was stunned, totally confused as to what was happening.

He tried to explain to the police, but the driver took the initiative and made up a plausible story, claiming that Shazhu was blackmailing him with the camera as an excuse and tried to hijack him.

The public security personnel believed the driver's words and detained Sha Zhu as a suspect.

Sha Zhu was filled with despair, as he had been tricked by this seemingly ordinary driver.

In the police interrogation room, Sha Zhu was asked to explain in detail what happened.

He tried hard to recall the whole process, trying to find clues that could prove his innocence.

However, he soon discovered that there were many logical loopholes in his statement.

There was no explanation for why he fell asleep on the bus, nor was there any proof that the camera was actually stolen.

The public security personnel became increasingly harsh in their attitude toward him, and even began to suspect whether he had committed other crimes.

Sha Zhu felt unprecedented pressure and had to find evidence to prove his innocence as soon as possible.

Under the cold and hard light of the interrogation room, Sha Zhu's face was as pale as paper, and the despair in his heart surged like a tide.

He clenched his hands, trying to suppress his inner panic and trying to remain calm under the questioning of public security personnel.

Just then, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open and the driver walked in.

The weird smile on his face was gone, replaced by a hint of guilt and complicated emotions.

"Officer, I want to explain what happened." The driver's voice was low and firm. "Actually, I did that not because Sha Zhu really blackmailed me, but because I doubted his identity."

Sha Zhu and the public security personnel were stunned and looked at the driver in confusion.

The driver took a deep breath and continued, "There have been a series of thefts in our town recently, and all the stolen items are of great value. The camera that Shazhu mentioned reminded me of those stolen items. That's why I wanted to bring him back so that the police can investigate thoroughly."

Hearing this, the despair in Sha Zhu's heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a glimmer of hope.

He hurriedly said, "Yes, I am the owner of the stolen camera! I can provide clues to help the police solve the case!"

The public security officers exchanged glances, obviously surprised by the driver's explanation.

I re-examined Sha Zhu and began to wonder if I had misjudged him before.

After some investigation, the police found that Sha Zhu's camera was indeed one of the stolen items, and the driver was praised by the police for providing clues.

Sha Zhu was finally cleared of all charges and regained his freedom.

Walking out of the police station, Sha Zhu took a deep breath of fresh air and felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

He looked at the driver with gratitude and respect in his heart.

Just then, the sound of a car roared in the distance.

Sha Zhu looked up and saw a car slowly approaching and stopping at the entrance of the village.

The car door opened and someone got out.

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared—Xu Damao!

Xu Damao was standing in front of a dilapidated house, holding a package in his hand and looking nervous.

Sha Zhu was delighted and hurried forward.

"Xu Damao!" Sha Zhu shouted loudly.

Xu Damao turned around suddenly and saw that it was Sha Zhu, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

He quickly hid the package behind him and stammered, "You...why are you here?"

His eyes stayed on Sha Zhu for a moment, then they smiled at each other, as if they had seen something interesting.

Sha Zhu looked at the appearance of Xu Damao and Qin Jingru and felt confused.

These two people just appeared suddenly, making him feel something was wrong.

There was a glimmer of cunning in Xu Damao's eyes, while Qin Jingru looked as if she was enjoying the show.

Sha Zhu's heart was filled with alarm, his intuition told him that these two people might be coming for him.

Sure enough, Xu Damao suddenly shouted loudly: "Shazhu, you little thief, don't think you can get away so easily after stealing something!"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xu Damao was deliberately framing him.

He quickly defended himself, "I didn't steal anything, please stop slandering me!"

But Xu Damao ignored it and continued shouting loudly, attracting the attention of the surrounding villagers.

Qin Jingru also added fuel to the fire, making things more complicated.

If you cannot prove your innocence, you will likely be misunderstood by the villagers.

Just then, he saw the driver and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

He hurried to the driver and whispered, "Brother, can you help me prove my innocence? I know you are a good person and you will not watch me being wrongly accused."

The driver felt sorry for Sha Zhu's anxious look. He thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm willing to help you."

So the driver stood up to defend Sha Zhu and explained what had happened before.

After hearing what the driver said, the villagers began to doubt the motives of Xu Damao and Qin Jingru.

Seeing that things were not going well, Xu Damao panicked and turned around to run away.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu immediately chased after him.

The two men, one in front and one behind, staged a fierce chase scene in the village.

After a chase, Xu Damao was exhausted and could no longer escape.

Sha Zhu finally caught up with him and grabbed him by the collar.

"Why did you frame me?" Sha Zhu asked loudly.

Xu Damao's face turned pale and he stammered, unable to speak.

Under Sha Zhu's questioning, he finally admitted his crime.

It turned out that he deliberately framed Sha Zhu because he was jealous of his good luck.

In anger, Fade Chen grabbed Xu Damao tightly, and the atmosphere between the two was so tense that one could almost hear the sparks flying.

"Let's go find Qin Jingru!"

Xu Damao struggled, but due to the huge difference in strength, he could only let Chen Fei drag him towards where Qin Jingru was.

Along the way, Xu Damao's face became paler and paler, and the panic in his heart surged like a tide.

There is no place to escape and he can only face the coming punishment.

When Qin Jingru saw Chen Fei and Xu Damao coming, the smile on her face froze instantly.

As if he had sensed something, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Qin Jingru, come with us." Chen Fei said coldly, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

Qin Jingru's face turned pale, but she finally followed the two of them silently.
