Since Captain Zhang wanted to hear, Xiao Zhang didn't stand on ceremony and continued his analysis.
"Captain Zhang, it's not hard to see from the records in this book that before the deaf old lady's accident, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were almost inseparable on their way to and from get off work."
But after the old lady was murdered, Qin Huairu was clearly avoiding Yi Zhonghai, as if she was afraid of something. So, I think this is very unusual; maybe she knows something?
"Hmm! Not bad, not bad, the analysis makes perfect sense."
Captain Zhang first praised Xiao Zhang, and then he continued.
"You've missed something here. The relationship between these two is definitely not normal. Yi Zhonghai's borrowing of money, including the later murder for money, may all be for Qin Huairu."
Think about it, Yi Zhonghai used to be a frequent visitor to the Eight Great Hutongs. If Qin Huairu tempted him, do you think he could resist?
After hearing Captain Zhang's analysis, the two investigators were full of admiration, and then Xiao Li asked a question.
"Captain Zhang, I'll go arrest them now. Should we arrest Qin Huairu as well?"
"No need. First, secretly arrest Yi Zhonghai without letting outsiders know. Also, closely monitor the courtyard at No. 95, especially Yi Zhonghai's wife, Qin Huairu, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Damao."
"Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed."
The two men saluted and then began to arrange manpower.
Captain Zhang wasn't idle either; he went to the director's office to report.
After all, such a big matter involves the factory's eighth-grade workers, so it will definitely alarm the steel rolling mill leaders and require the director to negotiate.
After everything was prepared, the team, led by Chief Li of the local police station, drove straight to the steel rolling mill…
In the office of the director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Director Yang was reviewing production reports.
When he saw the monthly output, he couldn't help but frown.
There's no other reason than this!
This month's output was down a few percentage points compared to the same period last month.
Just as Director Yang was about to call his secretary to inquire about the specifics, Secretary Chen led Director Li into the office.
"Sir, Chief Li of the police station wants to discuss official business with you."
"Oh! Director Li is a rare guest, please have a seat."
Factory Director Yang stood up warmly to greet him. After they shook hands, he instructed Secretary Chen to pour tea.
But Director Li had no time for tea and quickly stopped him:
"Director Yang, thank you for your kindness, but there's no need for tea. I don't come here unless I have a reason. Please forgive me if I do anything wrong."
Upon hearing what Director Li said, Factory Director Yang had a bad feeling. He waved his hand to indicate to Secretary Chen that there was no need to pour tea, and then pretended to be all ears.
Seeing this, Director Li didn't stand on ceremony and began to explain the purpose of his visit...
After Director Li finished recounting the whole story, Factory Director Yang immediately lost his composure.
Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-grade worker in the factory, a backbone among backbones. What should we do?
But now that it involves a murder case, even if Director Yang had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to stop it.
However, he still found it hard to believe that Yi Zhonghai, with his honest and unassuming appearance, could possibly commit murder.
Still somewhat unwilling to give up, he asked, "Director Li, is there some misunderstanding here? I don't think Yi Zhonghai is that kind of person!"
Director Li shook his head helplessly. "Director Yang, I also hope it's a misunderstanding, but all the evidence points to him. There's nothing I can do. It's my duty. I hope you can understand."
Since things have come to this point, there's no point in saying more, and Director Yang can only try his best to cooperate.
After careful planning, it was decided that Section Chief Jiang of the Production Department would invite Yi Zhonghai over.
Upon receiving the assignment, Section Chief Jiang immediately went to the fitter's workshop. He first found Director Zhao, and then the two of them walked towards Yi Zhonghai's workstation.
"Master Yi, stop for a moment. Section Chief Jiang from the Production Department wants to see you."
Upon hearing that someone was looking for him, Yi Zhonghai immediately stopped the machine and looked at Section Chief Jiang with a puzzled expression.
"Section Chief Jiang, what brings you here?"
Although Section Chief Jiang was responsible for coming over to call for help, he didn't know about Yi Zhonghai's murder, so his expression was no different from usual.
"Master Yi, I'm sorry, but the higher-ups have a batch of classified parts that need to be processed, so the factory has decided that you will be in charge of it."
Yi Zhonghai didn't doubt what Section Chief Jiang said, because he often did this kind of work before.
"Okay, Section Chief Jiang, I'll make the arrangements and I'll go with you right away."
Immediately afterwards, Yi Zhonghai summoned Qin Huairu and asked her to go back and deliver a message.
"Huai Ru, I need to go out to process a batch of parts. Go back and tell your master's wife that I don't know when I'll be able to go back, so tell her not to worry."
"Alright then! I'll tell my teacher's wife when I get home."
Qin Huairu could only reluctantly agree, not because she had any feelings for Yi Zhonghai.
But what will happen to my own life once he leaves?
I'm so worried!
After giving his instructions, Yi Zhonghai packed up his tools, cleaned them slightly, and then followed Section Chief Jiang out of the workshop.
Soon, the two arrived at the security section's post, and Yi Zhonghai sensed something was amiss.
"Section Chief Jiang, how did we end up in the Security Section?"
"Master Yi, please don't have any ideas. These are military parts and need to be kept strictly confidential, so the security department is handling the escort."
"oh oh!"
Yi Zhonghai nodded, dispelling his doubts, and followed him into the office.
"Section Chief Chen, I've brought the person."
There was only one person sitting in the security department office at that moment, which was Chief Chen of the security department.
"Thank you, Section Chief Jiang. You can go ahead with your work now. The comrades from the higher-ups won't be here for a while."
After expressing his gratitude, Section Chief Chen prepared to send Section Chief Jiang away.
Section Chief Jiang hadn't planned to wait there anyway, so he nodded and left the security section.
Shortly after Section Chief Jiang left, several uniformed police officers suddenly walked in through the front door. Yi Zhonghai, who was leading the group, recognized him as Captain Zhang from the police station.
"Yi Zhonghai, you are suspected of a murder case. Please come with us."
After Captain Zhang finished speaking, he took out handcuffs and, with a click, handcuffed Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai only then realized what had happened and felt like the sky had fallen.
Although he was panicking inside, he still tried to appear calm on the surface.
"Captain Zhang, you can't wrong an innocent person. I go to get off work every day and contribute to the country. How could I possibly be involved in a murder case?"
“Yi Zhonghai, you know in your heart whether you’ve done it or not. Without concrete evidence, we can’t possibly come looking for you and take you away.”
Upon hearing the order, several police officers grabbed Yi Zhonghai's arms and led him to the car outside.
Captain Zhang paused for a moment, thanked Section Chief Chen, and then led his team back to the police station…
Back at the police station, Yi Zhonghai was taken to the interrogation room, while Captain Zhang summoned two of his capable henchmen.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang, you two immediately conduct a surprise interrogation of Yi Zhonghai. If he refuses to confess, you know what to do, but be careful not to go too far."
"yes."
Upon receiving the order, the two immediately headed towards the interrogation room...
