Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

While the police were talking to the residents, the hard-of-hearing old lady came over and gave He Daqing a penetrating look. He knew that the old lady knew something but did not ask.

"Comrade police officer, can I say a few words?" the old lady said slowly.

The policeman nodded to indicate that she could speak.

"I know about this rat, but it is definitely not a 'rat spirit'," the old lady emphasized.

"Then do you know what's going on?" the policeman asked curiously.

The old man shook his head. "I don't understand what happened, but I can be sure that it is definitely not a 'rat spirit'."

In order to avoid suspicion, He Daqing took the opportunity to explain his family's movements to prove that they had nothing to do with the matter, and pointed to his son: "This is my son - Sha Zhu. He has been by my side from beginning to end, so he can prove our innocence." Sha Zhu smiled shyly.

Liu Ping and He Daqing then came together to discuss the ins and outs of the incident.

"I always feel something is wrong about this matter." He Daqing was worried.

"Indeed, Yi Zhonghai is usually a very kind person. Why did he suddenly encounter such a thing?" Liu Ping was also puzzled.

"I think there may be something else behind this," He Daqing added in a low voice.

At this time, the aunt also followed the police to the hospital to check on Yi Zhonghai's injuries. Neighbors also gathered together to speculate on the cause of the incident.

"Are you saying that someone deliberately framed Yi Zhonghai?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

He Daqing nodded, "We must find out the truth and not let Yi Zhonghai suffer any wrongs for no reason."

Liu Ping thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Yes, we have to find **."

At this time, the police came back from the hospital and continued to ask the residents about Yi Zhonghai's situation, but the residents said they knew nothing.

"Yi Zhonghai said he has no enemies, do you believe him?" the policeman asked. The residents looked at each other, apparently not knowing how to answer.

"This incident seems unusual." An old lady said hesitantly, "Yi Zhonghai has always been honest. If someone really wants to harm him, there must be a reason."

The police frowned when they heard this. They knew this was no simple incident, but they needed more evidence to uncover the truth behind it. As the police left, the old lady was full of doubts. She stared at Yi Zhonghai's departing back. She felt that there were some unknown secrets behind the situation, and realized that she and He Daqing played an important role in solving this mystery.

The next morning, the old lady broke the silence and asked, "Yi Zhonghai, where were you last night?" Yi Zhonghai, who had just been awakened, rubbed his eyes, looked at the old lady neighbor in confusion, and answered hesitantly, "I... was sleeping at home."

"Hmph, stop playing dumb. The police are looking for trouble with you. They even say you are a suspect." The auntie said with displeasure in her tone.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai's neighbor He Daqing walked into the yard: "Old Yi, I heard something happened, are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know what happened either. I woke up and became a suspect."

He Daqing patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, we are all honest people, there will be no problem."

At this time, He Yuzhu also came to the yard and asked his father: "Dad, what's wrong? What happened?"

"It's okay, the police are investigating something." He Daqing responded simply.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai's wife Liu Ping came over with their little daughter Yu Shui, saying, "Yi Zhonghai, let's take Yu Shui to the steel mill. You can go with Yu Zhu later."

As Yi Zhonghai nodded and watched his family leave, a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart: What impact would this sudden incident have on his life?

Inside the hospital, the police were carefully investigating the accident last night. The scene was in disarray, and it was difficult to see the details in the dim environment. Suddenly, a police officer found a size 41 work shoe print, and a light flashed in his eyes: "Last night, apart from the deceased, there was only this size 41 shoe mark left at the scene. It might have been left by the suspect."

The colleague immediately responded: "Then we will start the investigation based on this clue." Then the police officers began to search for clues everywhere. Noticing that Yi Zhonghai and the He family father and son were wearing similar work shoes, they became suspicious of them:

"Please come over here, three comrades." The policeman stretched out his hand and beckoned the three people to come closer.

The three people were nervous, not knowing what questions the police would ask. They walked silently in front of the police, lowered their heads and waited for questioning.

"Where were you last night?" the policeman asked.

Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing answered truthfully that they were both sleeping at home. When it was He Yuzhu's turn, he was obviously a little hesitant, but finally said that he was also at home last night.

The police noticed He Yuzhu's unnatural behavior and began to feel suspicious. He glanced at He Yuzhu's shoes and saw that they were worn out and covered with a lot of dirt.

"Excuse me, what is the size of your feet?" the police continued to ask.

He Daqing was the first to answer: "My number is 43."

He Yuzhu seemed to stutter as he answered: "I...I'm size 42."

The police frowned slightly, looking at the pair of muddy shoes and becoming more suspicious. So he asked the three people to try them on to see if they could find a pair of shoes that matched the size 41 footprints.

He Daqing was the first to cooperate, but after measurement, it was found that he was not the target size. When it was He Yuzhu's turn, he took off his shoes, and everyone present frowned unbearably - a strong foot odor filled the room.

Yi Zhonghai, who was watching all this, pointed to a pair of cloth shoes under the bed, indicating that those were the shoes He Yuzhu was talking about.

The police endured the discomfort and carefully measured the shoes, but still confirmed that they were not size 41.

After confirming that their son was not a suspect, Yi Zhonghai and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. However, the aunt could not help but scold him: "Young man, you should wash your feet more often! How can you keep them so smelly?"

He Yuzhu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but he was relieved in his heart, after all, he was not a suspect for the time being. However, he also realized that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Then He Daqing smoked his pipe in worry: "Do you think the police will come to our house?"

He Yuzhu glared at his father and replied, "What are you afraid of? We haven't done anything bad."

"But what about that pair of cloth shoes..." He Daqing said, pointing at the cloth shoes under the bed.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to deal with it," He Yuzhu said with a smile, "When you really ask, I'll say you sometimes use it to make slippers."

"I've never worn shoes that big!" He Daqing waved his hands in panic, indicating that he didn't want to be implicated.

"It doesn't matter. These shoes are already very worn out and no one will notice them. Just say that you occasionally use them as indoor shoes and that's fine." He looked at his father confidently and assured him.

Seeing his son so confident, He Daqing nodded. Although he was still worried, he chose to believe his son for the sake of his family. However, these changes still made him feel uneasy and he was unwilling to say anything more.

Lying back in bed, He Yuzhu couldn't sleep at night. In his excitement, he repeatedly thought about possible problems and simulated every question the police might ask and how they should answer cleverly, making sure that no loopholes would appear in the police investigation. Thinking of the detective skills and various crime scene handling methods he had read before, he decided that if the police came again, he must be fully prepared in advance to avoid being questioned and betraying each other or causing more trouble.

He Yuzhu tossed and turned in bed until dawn when he finally closed his eyes. The next morning, he got up early to get ready. First, he found the pair of cloth shoes and put them in a conspicuous place at the door. Then, he checked his shoes to make sure there were no traces that could implicate him.

After making all the preparations, He Yuzhu went to school with peace of mind. Along the way, he kept thinking about how they should respond if the police really came to their door.

However, the whole day passed and the police did not show up. Although he was a little disappointed, he felt a little relieved. Maybe their plan did work.

At dinner time, He Yuzhu was having dinner with his father. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. He Daqing's face suddenly changed, and he looked at his son nervously.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, stood up and went to open the door. Two policemen stood outside the door, and one of them asked, "Is this He Daqing's home?"

"Yes, I am He Daqing's son." He Yuzhu nodded.

After revealing their identities, the police began to ask about the shoes. He Yuzhu answered according to the pre-arranged explanation, firmly stating that those were the shoes his father wore.

The police asked a few more questions and asked for shoe sizes for comparison. He Yuzhu and his father reported their shoe sizes, but the cloth shoes were so worn that the size could no longer be identified.

After recording the information, the two policemen told them that they would check it as soon as possible and left. At this moment, the father and son looked at each other and felt relieved. They knew that they had escaped suspicion for the time being, but they also knew that this was only the first step.

In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, they still need to be vigilant and be ready to face the police investigation again at any time. At the same time, they must act cautiously to avoid arousing suspicion.

In the days that followed, the father and son were extremely careful and tried to avoid talking about what happened that night. In order to avoid getting into trouble, they also kept their distance from their neighbors. Keeping a low profile and being cautious became their survival strategy during this period.

In addition, He Yuzhu also began to focus more on his studies. He realized that only with sufficient knowledge and ability can he better cope with future challenges. Therefore, he spent a lot of time reading and studying every day, looking forward to making a difference in the future.

Days passed in this atmosphere, and the cloth shoes in the corner became an unsolved mystery in their hearts.

One day, “This environment is a mess.”

He Yuzhu complained about the situation in the work lounge while cleaning it. The space was not big to begin with, and after the tool cabinets at the door were piled up, there was only about 7 or 8 square meters left.
