Scholars in the courtyard

trial room

Xu Damao sat at the table, facing the questions from his two comrades, feeling a little uneasy.

Fortunately, the questions he asked were all about the deaf old lady and had little to do with him.

Xu Damao didn't dare to add insult to injury. Anyway, the deaf old lady was destined to be unable to escape. As long as he told the truth, he wouldn't be afraid of being sorry before and after.

In the temporary detention area.

The three waves of people are distinct.

Silly Zhu sat with Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong's family of four sat aside.

As for the last wave, it’s Lou Xiao’e.

The first two groups were reluctant to deal with each other at first, glaring at each other and showing off their authority.

Otherwise, if there were soldiers on duty at the door, they would probably start a fight.

But as time passed, both groups of people lost their energy.

Being caught here is not a glorious thing.

If it fails, you will die.

Lou Xiao'e leaned against the wall alone, feeling uncomfortable when she thought of her father and mother's horror when she was taken away, as well as the looks of people in the compound.

He buried his head in his legs, not wanting to look at anyone inside.

Thinking back on the days spent with the deaf old lady, who would have thought that she turned out to be an enemy agent.

I only blame myself for being too naive and trusting people too easily.

At this time, I thought about what she said to me. It seemed that she was praising Silly Zhu for being so good both inside and outside of her words. She was Xu Damao's daughter-in-law back then.

Moreover, after the divorce, Silly Zhu came to see her.

Now that I think about it, this old woman is just uneasy and kind-hearted.

Thinking of her current situation, Lou Xiao'e felt sad and lamented why she had been so bumpy in recent years, with nothing going well.

"Is this my life?"

"His father, we will be fine."

The second aunt leaned against Liu Haizhong, as if this thick body could bring her a sense of security.

There was also a lot of panic in the center of the bangs. Of course, he was more worried about whether there would be any stains this time.

This is a lifelong matter.

"Mom, don't scare yourself."

Liu Guangtian was already at work and could see clearly, "We are just neighbors. You should tell the truth about the situation."

"Every situation in our hospital is clear at a glance, so there is no need to worry."

The second aunt seemed to have found a backbone, "Really?"

"Really! We don't covet other people's houses, and we don't have ulterior motives in giving food to others every day. This matter has nothing to do with us."

After Liu Guangtian finished speaking, Liu Guangfu also nodded.

Liu Haizhong glanced at Liu Guangtian, but he didn't expect that the child could see clearly.

Lou Xiao'e listened carefully and felt even more distressed.

It is a sin to get close to the enemy.

Now, all she wants to do is not involve her parents, and if anything happens, she can handle it herself.

While talking here, Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai were equally unhappy and were thinking about the next thing.

Silly Zhu lowered his head and his eyes were red.

I had been hit hard because of Qin Huairu's incident, and now I was feeling aggrieved.

When disaster strikes, we all fly away.

These words occupied my entire mind like a curse and couldn't be shaken off.

At this time, how could he calm down after hearing Liu Guangtian's sarcasm?

Yi Zhonghai had more on his mind. He knew a lot about the deaf old lady, but he only knew about it and did not get involved.

But even if you know it, not reporting it is still a mistake.

Now, the only important thing is to make amends as soon as possible.

How to make up for it?

Yi Zhonghai thought hard.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Guangtian's voice. Silly Zhu suddenly stood up and walked over to Liu Guangtian.

Yi Zhonghai and Auntie quickly went up and hugged Silly Zhu. Now was not the time to act foolishly.

"Little bastard, tell me clearly. You are coveting the house, and you have ulterior motives for providing food and care. Please tell me clearly."

Silly Zhu pointed at Liu Guangtian, but Liu Haizhong stood up and stood in front of his son.

"Silly Zhu, don't mess around and don't look where this is!"

"Zhuzi, don't be impulsive. Let's get this over with first."

Yi Zhonghai also came to persuade and shouted to Liu Haizhong, "Liu Haizhong, let's help the old lady because she is older and helps take care of her life. She respects the elderly and loves the young. This was decided by the three uncles together."

"You also agreed to this matter, but now you want to deny it?"

The first aunt also pointed at the second aunt, "Don't say anything about us delivering food, didn't you do it too?"

"Everyone laughs at fifty steps and laughs at a hundred steps. Standing on the coal pile, no one can say that anyone is evil."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's expression turned bitter.

At this moment, the door opened and Xu Damao walked in from the outside with a proud look on his face.

He glanced at Yi Zhonghai, the idiot, and he laughed happily. He walked up to Liu Haizhong and was about to say a few words.

Liu Haizhong and others also went up to inquire about the news, but before they could say anything, the guard's voice sounded.

"Bangs, come out!"

Bangs trembled, and then he followed out.

"Silly Zhu, I'll tell you the truth. Tell the truth. If I don't add anything, I can kill you!"

Xu Damao provoked Silly Zhu's nerves in a desperate attempt to make Yi Zhong Haiya itchy.

But he didn't dare to let go of Silly Zhu. If he really wanted to take action here, he would be punished for several crimes.

Silly Zhu stared at Xu Damao, suddenly calmed down, returned to his original place and sat down without saying a word, his calmness was terrifying.

Xu Damao shuddered and suddenly felt that the angry Silly Zhu was not scary, but such a Silly Zhu was a bit scary.

Turning to look at Lou Xiao'e, this woman has become more and more energetic since her divorce.

No, it still feels ripe.

"Damn Yang Xiaotao, he must have succeeded."

Xu Damao scratched his head and rolled his eyes, looking at wanting to get closer to Lou Xiao'e, but he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he could only hold back and wait until Lou Xiao'e couldn't bear it anymore, then he would go up to comfort her.

I thought in my mind, with desire in my eyes.

In the interrogation room, Liu Haizhong was asked about the life of the deaf old lady.

Liu Haizhong didn't dare to lie, "Comrade, when we first entered the courtyard, we responded to the country's call to respect the elderly and take care of the orphans and widowers, so the three of us made a decision to take care of..."

By the time Liu Haizhong was sent back to the detention room, it was already noon.

No lunch, we will continue in the afternoon.

Several people were feeling anxious. If this continued, let alone going out today, they might not be able to go out tomorrow.

"Zhuzi, come here!"

When Lou Xiao'e was taking him out, Yi Zhonghai called Si Zhu to the corner.

"Master, what's wrong? Tell me!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded and lay on Si Zhu's ear.

"Did the old lady tell you about anyone before she died?"

"Like, something special?"

Silly Zhu frowned and also lowered his voice, "Master, what's the use of these?"

"Zhu Zhu, what we have to do now is to strive for meritorious service. Only in this way can we reduce the suspicion on us."

"After all, we are too close!"

Silly Zhu struggled a little in his eyes. After all, the old lady was sincerely good to him.

He felt very reluctant to say something bad about the old lady.

Seeing Sha Zhu's struggle, Yi Zhonghai took Sha Zhu's collar and shook it, "Zhu Zhu, the old lady is gone. Think about it again if some people's names have been mentioned recently, don't you understand? This is for Let’s leave a way to survive, tell these people out, and we can keep it.”

Silly Zhu opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it.

"Think about Qin Huairu and the days ahead."

"Zhuzi, don't be stupid, it will kill someone!"

Silly Zhu's head hurt from being shaken, but he was frightened by the last sentence.

He doesn't want to die, he hasn't left any descendants for Lao He's family yet.

"Master, tell me, what should we do?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong and others, and said calmly, "As long as we insist that we are just helping the lonely elderly people, doing good deeds, and doing good deeds, this matter will make sense."

"Then I will tell you the abnormal things in the old lady's life..."

The two whispered, and Shazhu gradually regained his confidence from the original confusion...

"Zhuzi, remember this. This is our only way to save ourselves!"

Silly Zhu nodded.

…

In the interrogation room, Team Leader Yu personally asked about Lou Xiao'e's situation.

"When did you marry into a courtyard house?"

"58 years."

"Before you got married, did you have any contact with people in the courtyard?"

Lou Xiao'e struggled a little after hearing this. She didn't want to say anything because it would involve others.

but…

"Is there anything you can't say?"

Team leader Yu tapped his fingers on the table, the thumping sound kept coming, and Lou Xiao'e's heartbeat gradually accelerated with the tapping.

"No, it's not."

Lou Xiao'e said, "Before entering the courtyard, I..."

After listening, Team Leader Yu frowned from time to time.

Yang Xiaotao, he knows this person’s information very well.

Not to mention the early years, just in the past two years, it was like a tractor, and it suddenly became popular.

Is this girl stupid enough not to marry such a person?

Really, you are young and ignorant!

As if she could read Team Leader Yu's thoughts, Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and didn't want to say anything more.

This is also the most failed thing she has ever done in her life.

"How long did you communicate with the deaf old lady next door?"

"After I got married, because I didn't have a job, I..."

"Then what is the most talked about topic in daily interactions?"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a moment.

"She kept talking about me, saying how much Xu Damao was nothing. She also said there were women outside and told me to be careful."

Lou Xiao'e recalled, "I didn't believe it at first, but that time Xu Damao was drunk and thought I was another woman. I knew he was nothing."

Team leader Yu frowned, well, there is something wrong with Xu Damao's lifestyle.

The recorder on the side looked at Team Leader Yu to see if he wanted to write it down.

Team leader Yu nodded. After all, it was just hunting down rabbits and catching big fish and shrimps together. It was regarded as a pure society.

"Who is that woman?"

"I don't know. Later he explained what Huahua was and said he was a lunatic and a great dancer..."

"anything else?"

"Yes, in addition to saying bad things about Xu Damao, she also kept praising Si Zhu and He Yuzhu..."

Lou Xiaoe told everything she knew, including the divorce, and explained everything clearly.

Of course, the results of their investigation into the Lou family were also revealed, along with the names of the two women.

"Okay, we basically understand your problem."

Lou Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief, and then tried to ask, "Comrade, can I go home? My parents are still worried!"

Team leader Yu looked at the transcript and felt that there was nothing wrong with Lou Xiao'e, but she was a bit memorized!

After thinking for a moment, he said, "In this way, if you find someone to vouch for it, you can leave."

"Looking for someone? Can my parents do it?"

"What do you think?" Team leader Yu was amused by Lou Xiao'e. Seeing that she didn't understand, he finally explained, "The person guarantor must have a certain status. Think about it carefully."

"I, I am a worker in a steel rolling mill. Let my superior come, okay?"

"Can!"

…

In the detention room, Lou Xiao'e was brought back, and her bangs were licking her lips at the second aunt, who stepped forward to ask about the situation.

Lou Xiao'e said a few words briefly, which was similar to what everyone else said.

Xu Damao wanted to come and talk to Lou Xiao'e, but Lou Xiao'e stared back, sat on the ground angrily, and continued to stare at Silly Zhu.

"He Yuzhu!"

The guard's voice came from the door, and Shazhu was startled and instinctively looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"Zilla, remember, this is your last chance."

Silly Zhu nodded and left.

In the interrogation room, Team Leader Yu and Xiaobo sat in the front, their expressions solemn.

When the deaf old lady dies, some things can only be unearthed from people close to her.

They didn't come directly to interrogate Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, they just wanted to learn from Liu Haizhong's mouth about their relationship with the deaf old lady.

However, the information obtained from these people can only say that the two have a good relationship with the deaf old lady. There is no evidence that directly proves that the two are accomplices.

Since he is not an accomplice, it is easy to speak.

The two waited for a while, and Silhu came in and sat at the table with a solemn expression.
