Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Everyone in the cafeteria was stunned when they saw Sha Zhu being taken away by the police.

Most of them had never seen such a situation before, and some of them curiously gathered around the cafeteria director to ask about the situation.

Among them, Liu Lan was the most active. She came forward and asked, "Director, what happened to Sha Zhu? Why was he taken away by the police?"

The canteen director frowned and replied helplessly: "I don't know much either. I just know that the police said there is a case and he needs to go to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation."

"Ah, we're actually going to the Public Security Bureau! That must be very serious, right?" Liu Lan covered her mouth in surprise.

The canteen director glared at her and said impatiently, "Okay, don't just stand there. The meal is about to start. Why don't you hurry up and prepare? Are you waiting for me to get you food?"

When everyone saw that the director was angry, they quickly dispersed and returned to their respective positions and started to get busy.

Sha Zhu, who was sitting on the back of the bicycle, had a confused look on his face and was full of doubts.

He tried to inquire about the situation from the police, but they remained tight-lipped and refused to reveal a single word.

After many unsuccessful attempts, Sha Zhu simply stopped asking questions, thinking that since he was not handcuffed, it meant that the problem was not serious.

Soon, Sha Zhu arrived at the Public Security Bureau. He was placed in an interrogation room, and then two police officers came in.

Sha Zhu is now very panicked. He has been to this place before and was locked up here for a whole night last time, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing the police coming in, Sha Zhu understood that they were here to take his statement, so he hurriedly asked.

"Comrade Public Security, I haven't done anything bad recently. Why did you bring me here?"

Coincidentally, it was this policeman who took the statement from Sha Zhu last time. He didn't recognize Sha Zhu just now because of the lighting problem. Now that he heard Sha Zhu speaking, he remembered him.

"He Yuzhu, it's you again. I thought we just had the same name. Don't worry, nothing's wrong. We just want to find out more about you."

At this time, Sha Zhu also recognized the policeman and felt a little relieved. He still had a very good impression of this policeman.

"It's me, Public Security Comrade. If you need anything, just ask me. I still have a lot of work to do in the cafeteria."

"Okay, let's get started. How is your relationship with the deaf old lady?"

"Old lady? She's pretty nice. After He Daqing ran away, she took good care of me and my sister. I often made delicious food for her."

"Are you sure that your relationship with her is just that simple, and there's nothing else?"

Sha Zhu didn’t understand what the police wanted to ask, but since they mentioned the deaf old lady, it was likely that something had happened to the old lady.

"Comrade Public Security, has something happened to the old lady?"

"This is not something you need to know. You just need to answer our questions honestly. You and the deaf old lady usually just cook. Don't you have any other deeper communication?"

"I don't understand what you mean by this deeper communication, but I had an agreement with her yesterday that I will take care of her in her old age, and the house in the backyard will be left to me after she dies. Does this count?"

"Well, why would this deaf old lady ask you to take care of her in her old age?"

"In the past, the old lady had always been supported by Yi Zhonghai, and her daily life was taken care of by Yiya. Now Yi Zhonghai has been sentenced to death, and the old lady said that Yiya would definitely remarry after she was released, so she came to find me.

I guess it’s because we have a good relationship and she treats me like her own grandson.”

"Okay, then have you noticed anything different about this old lady?"

Seeing that the police's problems were always centered around the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu was convinced that something had happened to the old lady and that she had probably been arrested by the police.

So Sha Zhu started to become cautious. He didn't want to be arrested because of other people again. He thought for a long time before answering.

"I haven't noticed this. The old lady usually stays in the backyard and rarely goes out. She even rarely attends the whole hospital meeting."

““Does the deaf old lady’s home have many visitors?”

“Not much, because the old lady is the oldest in our courtyard, she is a five-guarantee household, and she is also a martyr’s relative. Usually everyone treats her as an ancestor and usually doesn’t bother her.

In my impression, the Yi Zhonghai family was the one that visited the old lady's house the most. An aunt was responsible for taking care of the old lady. She basically went there several times a day to deliver meals, wash clothes, clean the house and so on.

Yi Zhonghai also went there often, every few days, and stayed for a long time each time. No one knew what they were talking about.

The rest is just me. My sister went there a few times before, but she hasn’t been there since.”

"Oh, then who else in your courtyard would go to the deaf old lady's house?"

"Well... let me think, that should be Brother Dongxu and his family, but the old lady doesn't seem to like their family very much, so they always go with me and Yi Zhonghai."

"Well, do you know why your sister stopped going to the deaf old lady's house?"

"I'm not sure about this. I just remember my sister telling me that the old lady treated her badly. She hid some food from her and didn't let her eat it. She also said that the old lady gave her a cold and gloomy feeling and made her very uncomfortable."

Afterwards, the police asked some other questions about the deaf old lady, and Sha Zhu answered them one by one and was very cooperative.

Finally, he stayed in the Public Security Bureau for about an hour and then left.

After walking out of the Public Security Bureau gate, Sha Zhu kicked the wall outside the Public Security Bureau, still muttering.

"What kind of thing is this? He picked me up on his bicycle when I came here, and now that we've finished talking, he's asking me to walk back to the steel mill by myself. He's really inhumane."

Of course, Sha Zhu only dared to mutter in a low voice. He didn't have the courage to shout loudly in the Public Security Bureau.

But Sha Zhu doesn’t know yet that a disaster is waiting for him in the steel mill.

At the Public Security Bureau, the man with Sha Zhu's statement went to find Guo Tao.

"Director, the transcript of He Yuzhu's statement has been completed and is all here. The only three families in their courtyard who had more contact with the deaf old lady were Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu, and Jia Dongxu.

Among them, Yi Zhonghai's family had the most frequent interactions with the deaf old lady. Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law was usually responsible for taking care of the deaf old lady's food and daily life, and Yi Zhonghai himself also often visited the deaf old lady.

According to He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai would stay for a long time every time he went to the deaf old lady's house, which matched the information he brought back from the backyard of the courtyard.

As for He Yuzhu, he probably didn't know the true identity of the deaf old lady. From the entire process of his questioning, I didn't feel that he had any intention of lying, and there was nothing wrong with the transcripts. "

Guo Tao listened to the report, read the transcript, and then spoke.

"Well, your analysis makes sense. It seems we still have to go check on Yi Zhonghai. I hope he can wake up before he dies and provide us with some useful information."

"Director, when should we go? Yi Zhonghai will be executed tomorrow. If we go too late, we won't have a chance to speak up."

"Have someone gather all the information. I'll bring someone to interrogate him in person this afternoon."

"Okay, I'll go now."

After walking for a long time, Sha Zhu finally returned to the steel mill. Along the way, everyone avoided him.

If he hadn't had to cook dinner, he would have probably gone straight home from the Public Security Bureau.

As a result, as soon as Sha Zhu walked outside the cafeteria, he heard a burst of noise and quarreling coming from inside. He was shocked and wondered who was so bold as to cause trouble in his territory?

So he rushed into the cafeteria without saying a word.

After all, the cafeteria is his own piece of land, and he will never allow anyone to act wildly here!

Sha Zhu jogged all the way and soon arrived at the food window, but the scene in front of him surprised him.

The entire cafeteria was packed with people. They were all very emotional, holding up their lunch boxes and demanding an explanation from the cafeteria.

These people are factory workers. They usually work hard and do physical labor. When lunch time finally comes, they naturally hope to have a delicious meal.

As the chef of the cafeteria, Sha Zhu is loved by everyone for his excellent cooking skills.

Even though he is not a good person, all the workers who live there unless they live too far away will choose to eat in Shazhu's canteen.

After all, as long as you have no conflicts with Shazhu, he won't deliberately flip the spoon for you. Besides, who doesn't want to eat delicious food?

However, today, when many workers rushed into the canteen, a strange smell immediately hit their noses.

At first, no one paid much attention to it, thinking it was just an occasional odor. After all, this is a cafeteria, and it is normal to have some rotten food from time to time.

However, when some people finished getting their meals, found a seat to sit down and prepared to start eating, they found that the smell in the lunch box was extremely strong, as disgusting as if it had fallen into the toilet.

If this happens to only one or two people, it may be attributed to personal hygiene issues, such as not washing the lunch boxes properly.

But now almost everyone present has encountered the same situation, and it is obvious that this is not an isolated phenomenon.

But gradually, everyone in the cafeteria smelled the odor, and everyone realized that there was something wrong with the food in the cafeteria, so they asked the cafeteria to come out and give an explanation.

After all, these people eat here every day. If the canteen cannot guarantee food safety and hygiene, who would dare to come?

In fact, this kind of problem is easy to solve. As long as the canteen director comes forward to admit his mistake, apologize, and ask Sha Zhu not to cook for a while, then that will be all.

However, the canteen director had no idea how to handle such a crisis. He was unwilling to admit his mistake, but was also worried that this incident would affect his career, so he decided to use his status as canteen director to suppress everyone.

But don’t forget that in this era, the working class is the leading class, and the working brothers are the big brothers. Naturally, they will not be afraid of a small canteen director.

As time went on, the conflict escalated and things became increasingly difficult to handle.

Eventually, the situation got out of control and even alerted the security department.

The scene that Sha Zhu saw when he came in was the climax of the incident.
