As night fell and time passed, Guo Tao decided not to continue interrogating Yi Zhonghai.

He believed that letting Yi Zhonghai stay in the detention center for two days would make him feel fear and anxiety, thus causing him to lose his composure.

That way, when he is interrogated again, the results might be better.

In addition, Guo Tao already had enough evidence in his hands, and the interrogation was merely a procedural issue, and there was no need for Yi Zhonghai to personally admit his guilt.

Therefore, he ordered the public security personnel on duty to closely guard Yi Zhonghai and prohibit him from contacting anyone from the outside world.

As for the aunt, Guo Tao decided to keep her in the police station for a few days for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, and then release her home after the verdict of Yi Zhonghai's case.

Although these things were done by her husband Yi Zhonghai, Yida Aunt did not participate in them. At most, she knew about it but did not report it.

However, in the social context at that time, although the teacher said that women hold up half the sky, after all, the country had only been established for less than ten years, and ordinary people still had not changed many traditional concepts.

Nowadays, the vast majority of women are still basically regarded as vassals of men, and most women dare not go against their husbands' wishes, so Guo Tao also plans to correct the behavior of the aunt through ideological education and eventually release her.

Because a lady has been in the hospital taking care of Yi Zhonghai recently and basically hasn't returned to the courtyard, the deaf old lady also asked Sha Zhu to help take care of him first, so even if they were taken to the public security bureau, no one would know about it for the time being.

Others only knew that the police had searched Yi Zhonghai's home, but no one knew what specifically happened. Moreover, this was Yi Zhonghai's business, so apart from watching the excitement, most people chose to stay away from it.

Although Zhou Jin knew that Yi Zhonghai and the lady had been taken away by the Public Security Bureau, he naturally would not tell anyone and he was still waiting.

While waiting for public opinion to ferment and for the Public Security Bureau to completely take down Yi Zhonghai, by that time, even if the deaf old lady broke through her blockade and found her backer, she would not be able to save Yi Zhonghai.

Therefore, Zhou Jin is not so concerned about Yi Zhonghai's affairs now. It is a foregone conclusion anyway, and the outcome of Yi Zhonghai can only be a peanut.

Zhou Jin's focus now has shifted to the deaf old lady. Yi Zhonghai and the auntie happened to be taken to the public security bureau, and Long Er happened to be free, so it was just right for him to investigate the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady stayed in the house today and knew nothing about what happened in the middle courtyard in the afternoon.

She lived in the backyard, far away from the Central Court, and the police's actions at the time did not cause much commotion, so she had no idea what was happening in the Central Court.

Naturally, those aunts and young wives would not take the initiative to reveal these things to the deaf old lady, because they still felt fear and disgust towards this old woman.

At this time, Sha Zhu came to the deaf old lady's room with food and prepared to serve her dinner. While delivering the food, Sha Zhu told the deaf old lady what happened in the middle court this afternoon.

It turned out that Qin Huairu told him this when she went to Sha Zhu to get the lunch box.

Now the Jia family has basically decided to distance themselves from Yi Zhonghai. After all, the current Yi Zhonghai is completely unable to provide help to their family. To put it bluntly, the current Yi Zhonghai's role in the Jia family is not as important as Sha Zhu's.

Although the Jia family no longer has Yi Zhonghai's support, Jia Dongxu seems to be aware of his family's difficulties and no longer gambles. He even usually sells some scrap steel from the steel mill.

Now that Qin Huairu was no longer under the suppression of Jia Zhang, she began to use a sewing machine at home to sew and mend clothes for other people to earn some pocket money.

As a result, the Jia family now has a monthly income of more than 20 yuan. Adding the lunch boxes that Sha Zhu brings back every day, the Jia family can still make ends meet.

Therefore, their attitude towards Yi Zhonghai's affairs was no different from that of others. They just regarded it as a farce.

However, Sha Zhu was deeply influenced by Yi Zhonghai, and he always thought that this matter was a bit suspicious. According to common sense, the incident of Liu Haizhong putting Yi Zhonghai's sack should have come to an end, but why did a new incident occur?

At this time, the police came to search the old man's house while he was not at home. There must be something he didn't know about.

In the backyard of the deaf old lady's house, when the deaf old lady heard the news, she felt inexplicably uneasy, because the timing of the police's arrival was too strange, and their behavior was inexplicable.

But the deaf old lady could not understand the situation and could not make any analysis. She could only instruct Sha Zhu to take some time tomorrow to go to the hospital to see Yi Zhonghai and the others.

Only after meeting Yi Zhonghai and others did I know what had happened.

Sha Zhu was also very curious about this, so he agreed directly. Then he went home to have a rest. The factory has been working overtime every day recently, and their canteen has changed from only preparing one meal to now preparing lunch and dinner.

And now there are basically no small stoves. Sha Zhu has to cook in a big pot every day and is responsible for two meals. He is exhausted at the end of the day.

Time flies, and the night passed quickly. Zhou Jin sent Xinxin to school as usual in the morning, and then followed Long Er to investigate the deaf old lady.

Long Yi was responsible for staying in the courtyard waiting for the deaf old lady. As for Sha Zhu, he did go out a little earlier today than before, but Long Yi did not notice it.

After all, Shazhu has to go out to work every morning except Sunday, so most people won't notice if he leaves home earlier or later.

Originally, Sha Zhu planned to go to the hospital after get off work, but he was worried that if he came back too late, the deaf old lady might be hungry, so he simply left home early to go to the hospital, since it was on his way anyway.

When Sha Zhu arrived at the ward, he found it was empty. There was no sign of Yi Zhonghai and the aunt at all, so he hurried to ask the nurse.

However, many people didn't know the situation. Sha Zhu ran around the hospital and asked many people before he learned from a nurse that they were taken away by the police yesterday.

As for the reason why he was taken away, the nurse was not clear. She happened to see it yesterday when she went to the next ward to change the patient's dressing. She did not see the arrest warrant, nor did she hear the conversation clearly.

When Sha Zhu heard the news, he was dumbfounded. This result was something he could never have imagined.

Why did the police take the old man away?

Why did the police go to an old man’s house to search?

There were two major incidents that happened to an old man recently. He was the victim in both cases. There is no reason to take the victim to the police station.

But now is not the time for Shazhu to think about life. He has to hurry to work at the steel mill. If he delays any longer, he will be late.

As for the uncle's matter, I'd better wait until I get off work and return to the courtyard to discuss it with the deaf old lady.

In this way, Sha Zhu finished the day's work absent-mindedly, and almost got into trouble several times. If Ma Hua hadn't reminded him, Sha Zhu would have added salt without limit.

After get off work, Sha Zhu took his lunch box and ran back to the courtyard. As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by Yan Bugui.

"Silly Zhu, what happened to you today? Were you chased by a dog? Why are you running so fast?"

Sha Zhu was already worried about something and was very anxious. Now that Yan Bugui stopped him, he said that he was being chased by a dog.

Besides, he looked down on Yan Bugui in the first place. He always felt that it was not a manly thing for a grown man to haggle over trivial matters and take advantage of others all day long.

So Sha Zhu got angry all of a sudden, and his reckless spirit came up.

"Mr. Yan, it's none of your business. Why do you care so much? Do you live by the sea? If you have nothing to do, go and lick your shit. Don't bother me.

Hurry and let him go. Don't block my way here. You only know how to calculate these trivial matters all day long. You are really not a man."

Yan Bugui originally just wanted to get close to Sha Zhu and see if he could get a lunch box from him.

But Yan Bugui had no idea what was wrong with Sha Zhu, as he actually started to curse at him. This made Yan Bugui very angry. After all, he was a teacher, and now he was being scolded by a cook.

"Silly Zhu, how can you talk like that? Do you know how to respect the elderly? I was just concerned about you and asked you what happened, but you insulted me without asking any questions. You must apologize to me for what happened today, or I will hold a public meeting to criticize you."

If Yan Bugui's words could scare other people, it might have some effect, but who is Sha Zhu? Apart from Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady and Qin Huairu, who else can command him?

Moreover, Shazhu is a very obedient person. If you follow his will, he might listen to you, but if you go against him, he will definitely fight you to the end.

"Mr. Yan, have I given you face by holding a mass meeting to criticize me? If you have the guts, just hold one and try. Tomorrow I will go to your school and report that you have taken the school's chalk, newspapers, and exercise books.

Let's see who gives up first. If you want to imitate the old man, you have to see if you have the ability. Disperse immediately."

Sha Zhu was still worried about Yi Zhonghai and really didn't want to get entangled with Yan Bugui anymore, so he simply pushed Yan Bugui aside.

Then he took the lunch box and went in, leaving Yan Bugui standing alone at the gate. He stared at Sha Zhu's disappearing back viciously and said with gritted teeth, "You are a reckless man, you are unreasonable."

In the central courtyard, Qin Huairu had been waiting at the pool for a long time. She heard the quarrel between Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui in the house.

But Qin Huairu would not get involved in this mess. She just wanted to get the lunch box from Sha Zhu.

Even if Yan Bugui has no more abilities, he is still the manager of the courtyard. Now Liu Haizhong has been sentenced, Yi Zhonghai is in the hospital, and the police came to search Yi Zhonghai's house yesterday. It's possible that Yi Zhonghai will have to go to jail in a few days.

By then, Yan Bugui will be the only one in charge of the entire courtyard, so he naturally cannot be offended.

Moreover, Yan Bugui is a teacher at Banggeng School. If they really offend him, and he does something bad to Banggeng behind his back, the Jia family cannot afford it.

So even if Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui started fighting, Qin Huairu would not move. She would just guard the pool in the middle courtyard until she got the lunch box from Sha Zhu, and then she would have completed her mission.
