"Anything else?" the captain asked.

"The incident happened this morning. I want to confirm whether the machine was tampered with last night or this morning." Li Haoyu suggested: "You can ask the guard at the door to see when Yi Zhonghai entered the factory this morning. Or you can ask the head of our yard, Mr. Yan Bugui. He opens the door every morning. If Yi Zhonghai had tampered with it early, then he would have gone out much earlier than usual."

"These circumstances can be verified. Although they are not sufficient as direct evidence, they can still help as clues for investigation."

"Okay, Comrade Li Haoyu, thank you for your careful consideration." The captain did not expect Li Haoyu to be so meticulous and regretted that he did not become a policeman. After shaking hands with Li Haoyu, they left and carried out the various investigations he had just proposed.

The police first came to the No. 95 tenement and started from the front, conducting an interrogation and investigation based on what Li Haoyu had described.

By chance, the aunt happened to be there and heard their conversation. She hurriedly said, "Comrade, police comrade, could Jia Dongxu's death be related to Yi Zhonghai?"

"It's still under investigation. You just need to cooperate and answer the questions." The police said with a straight face.

"Officers, I am telling the truth. That night, oh, it's so embarrassing to talk about it. Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were dragged out of the basement by Jia Dongxu. Yi Zhonghai's head was covered in blood, and it was obvious that Jia Dongxu beat him. At that time, we all saw that both of them were not wearing pants." said the old lady.

"I think the most likely person is Yi Zhonghai who framed Jia Dongxu," she continued.

After detailed questioning, the police found that everything Li Haoyu said was true, and there were no exaggerated or fabricated details.

Afterwards, they also went to the residences in the middle courtyard and the backyard to collect evidence. Except for an old lady with hearing loss who said that old Yi could not have done such a thing, other residents confirmed that Yi Zhonghai did have an inappropriate relationship with Qin Huairu and was caught on the spot by Jia Dongxu.

At this time, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu went to the hospital to take care of the patient and were not in the yard, so the police could not ask for details.

In the hospital, Jia Zhang's fat face was covered with tear marks, like chrysanthemums.

Similarly, Qin Huairu, whose tears fell like pear blossoms, was not crying for Jia Dongxu, but lamenting that she would have no one to rely on in the future, and she had to go to Yi Zhonghai to discuss it.

In the interrogation room of the police station,

Two police officers with serious expressions faced Yi Zhonghai.

"Bang!" "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist." The police explained the principles to him.

"Officer, Dongxu is my son. How could I harm him? I am really innocent." Yi Zhonghai was panicked, but he knew that he had to grit his teeth and not admit anything, otherwise he would surely die.

"You're still trying to quibble! The investigation has already concluded that you went to the ironworks at seven in the morning, and the workshop didn't open until half past eight. On weekdays you usually arrive at eight o'clock. How do you explain this?" They presented solid evidence.

"Officer, it's really a misunderstanding. I didn't finish yesterday's work, so I went early to finish it." Yi Zhonghai tried his best to defend himself.

"I think you clearly have other thoughts." The police did not trust him, and the situation was temporarily at a stalemate.

The police were unhappy because this guy was too cunning, but they had no solid evidence to support the charges.

In the evening, when Li Haoyu returned home, he saw a white mourning curtain hanging on the door of the Jia family.

He walked in, "Dongxu, why are you leaving like this..."

The sound of crying and screaming continued to come from the Jia family, occasionally mixed with the crying of Banggeng and Xiaodang.

Sha Zhu wanted to help, but was driven out by Jia Zhang with harsh words, and even had an argument with Li Chunhua.

Li Haoyu didn't care and walked straight to the backyard.

After a while, He Yushui came to find Li Haoyu.

"Brother Li Haoyu, what happened? Why did Jia Dongxu die suddenly? I heard from the neighbors that it was Yi Zhonghai who murdered him. Is that true?"

"It's unclear at the moment, as there is insufficient evidence, but Yi Zhonghai should not be underestimated." Li Haoyu pondered, "Although I gave you the All-Poison Pill and the talisman, and you have practiced and exercised some moves, you have more or less acquired some ability to protect yourself. But I still think it's better to remind you."

"Well, Brother Li Haoyu, don't worry." He Yushui nodded, understanding what he meant.

Xu Damao also rushed back after learning of Jia Dongxu's death, and also thought that it was Yi Zhonghai who did it.

"Remember, you two must be more careful with Yi Zhonghai. Also, Xiao'e, you should also be more wary of that deaf old lady. She is simple-minded and can be easily deceived by that vixen." Li Haoyu reminded again, not forgetting to mention the warning story in the original book.

Li Haoyu has a positive opinion of Lou Xiaoe, perhaps because their backgrounds are somewhat similar.

Lou Xiao'e's family is extremely wealthy. She usually sneers at the petty calculations of her neighbors and doesn't pay much attention to them. However, her beast-like greed is boundless. This indifference will induce those people to become more greedy and regard her as a piece of fat meat that is within their reach.

"Don't worry. That old man spreads rumors and slanders me in front of Xiao'e every day. If I go out to show movies, I can let Xiao'e go back to her parents' home and live for a while." Li Haoyu said.

"There will be a lot of trouble in the courtyard in the future. We should try our best to stay out of the courtyard's affairs." Li Haoyu reminded again.

"How could this happen?" Xu Damao asked in confusion.

"Just wait and see." Li Haoyu smiled. "Now there are only the orphans and widows of the second house left in the Jia family. According to common sense, Qin Huairu will probably take over the factory job. By then, for the sake of the family's livelihood, she will definitely show a sad look and seek charity from our courtyard. What do you think they will do?"

He Yushui added: "Qin Huairu will definitely be fooled by my brother Sha Zhu."

She was exhausted by He Yuzhu's affairs. Shazhu had gone there on his own initiative today but had to face the blame from his wife when he returned. He Yushui watched all this and was too lazy to say anything.

"It's up to them whoever they go with. I don't want to get involved in any trouble." Xu Damao laughed. He was happy to see Sha Zhu in trouble and even wanted to add fuel to the fire. Of course, as long as Qin Huairu could pay a few dollars, he would be happy to give it a try.

"Brother Li Haoyu, do you think my brother will be plotted against again?" Although she was on bad terms with He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu was her brother after all. Deep down in her heart, she didn't want him to be treated like this, without even a trace left.

In response, Li Haoyu replied: "You have to talk to your sister-in-law about this. Only you can compete with Qin Huairu."

Li Chunhua is also a widow, and she knows her fellow widows' feelings very well. As an experienced widow, she should be able to handle Qin Huairu, a novice widow, with ease.

So He Yushui immediately said clearly: "I will go back and have a good talk with my sister-in-law."

After Xu Damao returned home, the two closed the door and started dinner.

Now, Jia Zhang gets angry at everyone she meets, and passers-by who pass by her house will be cursed viciously by her for no reason. The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly becomes weird.

The deaf old lady sat in her house and looked a little uneasy. Yi Zhonghai must not have anything happen to her, otherwise it would be difficult for her to live in this courtyard. Although Sha Zhu would occasionally take care of her, he had not visited her for a while because of his wife.

She must find a way to rescue Yi Zhonghai as soon as possible, even if it involves risks.

Thinking of this, the old man dragged his heavy steps out of the yard.

Li Haoyu and He Yushui had just finished dinner and happened to run into the old lady on their way out. They thought: She is so anxious, is she going to be reincarnated? It's so late, it's almost 7 o'clock in the evening, where is this old lady going?

The two originally planned to go to Yard No. 18 for a private chat, but seeing this situation, Li Haoyu decided to adjust the plan.

After watching He Yushui return to the house, he retreated to the backyard alone.

After making sure that no one was paying attention, he quickly jumped over the courtyard wall and saw from afar the old lady moving quickly towards the entrance of the alley.

She turned through several alleys and came to an iron door. She knocked three times, then twice, and once more. However, no one answered for a long time, so the old lady had to repeat the knocking action again.

With a click, the door was opened, and what came into view was a middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with an ordinary face and who could not be distinguished among the crowd.

The uncle politely invited the old lady into the house:

"Old lady, why did you come to see me alone in the middle of the night? This is a life-threatening job."

"I have no other choice. You must try to get our Yi Zhonghai out of the police station. He is being summoned for interrogation." said the deaf old lady.

"Old lady, aren't you forcing me? Do you know what the consequences will be if that secret line is activated?" the old man replied.

"I don't care about the process, I only care about the outcome. It's up to you how you act." The deaf boss insisted.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "You need to explain the details more clearly."

Half an hour later, the deaf old lady walked out of the house with a slightly worried expression, but she thought everything should be fine.

Li Mo used his spiritual sense to cover the entire courtyard, even scanning the basement, complaining in his heart why there was nothing valuable, this guy was really not qualified to be a special agent. But then he also thought that this was actually reasonable.

That person seemed to be a secret informant, and he seemed to have purchased an informant through some means to save Yi Zhonghai. In this way, he should be an intelligence liaison.

Li Mo did not kill him directly, but returned to the small courtyard, and then went out for a walk with He Yushui. As soon as they went out, they happened to meet the old lady who was returning. When the old lady saw Li Haoyu, her eyes suddenly darkened.

In response to He Yushui's polite greeting, the deaf old lady snorted coldly, not hiding her inner unhappiness at all.

In the police station, Yi Zhonghai was tortured. Although it was not the police who beat him, the repeated interrogation had brought him to the brink of mental collapse. However, Yi Zhonghai remained steadfast and the police were helpless.
