Chapter 186: Arresting Yi Zhonghai
Seeing this, neither the post office manager nor the staff tried to persuade him anymore, leaving Ma Shangfeng alone, slumped on the ground.
After a while, He Daqing arrived at the post office with the police. When Ma Shangfeng saw the police arrive, he knew his fate, so he honestly told the police everything in detail.
The police officer took notes and then looked at He Daqing and said, "We have a clear understanding of what happened here. Now we will go to your courtyard to find Yi Zhonghai."
He Daqing nodded in agreement.
Soon, the group arrived at the courtyard house.
When they entered the courtyard, everyone inside was startled. After all, everyone knew that police wouldn't come to the courtyard for no reason.
In the crowd, Yan Fugui spotted He Daqing and walked over to ask, "Are you He Daqing?"
Upon seeing his third uncle, Yan Fugui, He Daqing exclaimed, "Hey, Old Yan, you're still alive?"
Hearing He Daqing's unrestrained words, Yan Fugui said, "Go away, what are you saying?"
Yan Fugui looked at He Daqing again and said, "He Daqing, why are you back?"
He Daqing looked at Yan Fugui and said, "My home is here, where else would I go if I didn't come back?"
Yan Fugui asked in confusion, "You didn't run off with the widow...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Fugui realized that it was inappropriate to say such a thing and quickly stopped.
He Daqing ignored him and said, "Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I need to go to the Intermediate Court to take care of things."
After saying that, He Daqing led the police to Yi Zhonghai's door and knocked on it.
An older woman came out, was startled by the scene, and said, "Officers, what are you doing...?"
The police officer looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Is this Yi Zhonghai's house?"
The older woman nodded and said, "It's Yi Zhonghai's family. I'm his wife."
The policeman looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Then please call Yi Zhonghai out."
The middle-aged woman didn't dare to delay and quickly turned around and shouted into the house, "Old Yi! Old Yi! The police are looking for you!"
Hearing the shouts, Yi Zhonghai felt something was off and muttered to himself as he walked out, "What do the police want with me?"
But when he stepped outside and saw the courtyard surrounded by people, especially He Daqing standing next to the policeman, he froze, and a bad premonition instantly welled up in his heart.
"You...you...you are He Daqing?" Yi Zhonghai pointed at He Daqing, so surprised that he could hardly speak.
He Daqing stepped out from the crowd, looked at him coldly, and said, "Yi Zhonghai, I am He Daqing. It seems you haven't forgotten me after all."
Seeing that He Daqing had actually brought the police back, Yi Zhonghai was immediately filled with anxiety. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Old He, what's going on...?"
Before he could finish speaking, He Daqing could no longer contain his anger and threw a punch, hitting Yi Zhonghai squarely in the cheek.
"Yi Zhonghai, you bastard! I treated you like a brother, and you dared to play tricks on me!" He Daqing roared.
Seeing He Daqing start hitting someone, the police quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Comrade He Daqing, please calm down! We need to investigate this matter thoroughly before we can reach a conclusion."
Zhang Lei also pulled He Daqing aside and advised, "Uncle He, calm down. If you hit him now, he might sue you later. It's not worth it."
Upon hearing this, He Daqing took a deep breath. Although still angry, he managed to calm down and glared fiercely at Yi Zhonghai, saying, "He got off easy today! If it were me in the past, I would have beaten him to death!"
Seeing Yi Zhonghai being beaten, an older woman rushed forward to help him up, asking with concern, "Old Yi, Old Yi, are you alright?"
Then, she turned to He Daqing and said angrily, "He Daqing, what kind of nonsense are you playing? You come back and start hitting our Lao Yi! If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm not done with you!"
He Daqing retorted without backing down, "Fine, if it's not over yet, it's not over! Today I'm going to show everyone just how insidious this hypocrite Yi Zhonghai really is!"
"That's enough!" the police officer shouted sternly when he saw the two were about to argue. "We're here to handle this, not to watch you fight."
Then, the police officer looked at Yi Zhonghai, pointed to Ma Shangfeng beside him, and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Yi Zhonghai looked in the direction the police pointed, and when he saw Ma Shangfeng's pale face, he was startled and stammered, "I...I know him."
The police officer nodded and said sternly, "Since you know them, we don't need to say anything more. Alright, come with us!"
At this moment, Zhang Lei suddenly spoke up, reminding us, "Officer, shouldn't we search his house first? The evidence is still there."
The police officer thought for a moment, found it reasonable, nodded, and looked at Yi Zhonghai, saying, "Alright, Yi Zhonghai, where did you hide the letter and money He Daqing sent to He Yuzhu and his sister?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's heart skipped a beat, her face instantly turning deathly pale. She thought to herself, "Oh no!"
Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Yi Zhonghai glared at him with murderous intent.
However, Zhang Lei didn't take his threats seriously at all.
Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth, staring at Zhang Lei, and said, "It's you... why do you insist on going against me?"
Zhang Lei looked at Yi Zhonghai and said calmly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place. You know perfectly well what you've done."
The police officer watched from the sidelines and said coldly, "Alright, since you won't talk, we'll send people to search you."
Soon, two police officers began searching Yi Zhonghai's home.
Not long after, a policeman pulled a stack of letters from under the bed and handed them to the police captain.
The police captain took the letter, glanced at it, then looked at Yi Zhonghai and said sternly, "Yi Zhonghai, what do you have to say now?"
Yi Zhonghai tried to argue, but the evidence was irrefutable. He could only lower his head and say helplessly, "I did it... I did it all by myself, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
The police officer glanced at him and said, "Whether it's related or not, we'll find out after we investigate."
Yi Zhonghai looked up at his wife and instructed her, "Wife, don't forget to bring the old lady her meal."
Upon hearing this, the older woman immediately understood what he meant—to find the deaf old lady!
Yes, find the deaf old lady!
