As evening approached, before it was time to leave work, Qin Huairu packed up her tools, ready to leave as soon as the closing bell rang.
But for some reason, ever since Yi Zhonghai left in the afternoon, her eyelids have been twitching nonstop.
"An early jump means disaster, a late jump means wealth... Hmm!... A jump to the left means disaster, a jump to the right means wealth, it seems I'm in luck with money."
After Qin Huairu comforted herself for a while, the workday bell rang just then.
What are we waiting for? We can't stay even a minute longer.
Immediately, Qin Huairu grabbed her empty lunchbox and rushed towards the main entrance…
In the central courtyard of the Yi family's courtyard house, two children who had just finished school were doing their homework.
Aunt Yi had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her husband to come home; everything was the same as usual.
But the problem was that Aunt Yi always felt inexplicably uneasy, and she didn't know what was wrong.
So she called out towards the room, "Xiaofang, Xiaobao, do your homework carefully. I'll wait for your dad at the door."
"Mom, you go ahead! I'll take good care of my little brother."
Hearing her daughter's voice coming from inside the room, Aunt Yi finally felt relieved and walked towards the door.
When they arrived at the entrance, apart from Yan Bugui, who was begging for food, there was hardly anyone else around.
"Old Yi's wife is here again, waiting for Old Yi to come home."
"Yeah! Uncle Yan, he's just lazing around at home anyway, so he came out to get some fresh air."
Aunt Yi gave a casual reply, and the two of them fell silent.
Soon, the workers who had finished get off work began to return one after another, and Qin Huairu also returned to the entrance.
Aunt Yi, seeing that she had waited for a while but hadn't seen her husband, but instead welcomed back the vixen first, turned her head away unhappily.
Qin Huairu felt helpless, but she couldn't refuse to tell Yi Zhonghai what he had asked her to do.
So she had no choice but to step forward and say, "Master's wife, my master went out to process parts today and doesn't know when he'll be back. He asked me to let you know so you won't worry."
"knew."
After saying that, Aunt Yi walked into the yard with a stern face.
Qin Huairu was left standing there, giving a slightly awkward smile, before she also walked into the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai did not return that night, but Aunt Yi was not worried, because she had encountered similar things before.
The next morning happened to be a weekend.
But at the police station, Captain Zhang and his colleagues were still working overtime to review the case.
At this moment, in Captain Zhang's office, Xiao Li and Xiao Zhang both looked a little tired, and Xiao Li gave the report.
“Captain Zhang, that bastard Yi Zhonghai is quite tough. Last night, Xiao Zhang and I took turns interrogating him, and we used quite a few methods, but when it came to the old lady’s murder, he only said three words: ‘I don’t know.’”
Seeing that the two had indeed tried their best, Captain Zhang did not blame them.
On the contrary, as if he had foreseen this, he immediately made new arrangements.
"Alright, don't be discouraged. I didn't expect him to admit it right away anyway."
"Alright, in a bit, you'll first search Yi Zhonghai's house, then bring his wife, Qin Huairu, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, and others back for questioning."
After saying that, Captain Zhang took out a pre-issued search warrant from the drawer and handed it to Xiao Li.
"Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed."
After saluting, the two men took the search warrant and went out to organize their men, preparing to head to the courtyard house...
On the other side.
After finishing breakfast today, Sun Zhengguo brought his grandfather and a group of people to the courtyard house.
Because the whole family had agreed to take a super family photo today.
When the group arrived at the courtyard house, the rest of the family members were already dressed neatly and ready to leave at any time.
At this moment, Sun Zhengguo glanced around and, seeing that Zhou Weimin hadn't arrived yet, called everyone to stop.
"Dad, let's wait a little longer! I asked Weimin yesterday, and he's also planning to come and take pictures. He's probably on his way."
No one objected when they heard that Zhou Weimin was coming. After all, Sun Zhenghong was also a member of the Sun family, so they figured they could just wait!
Just then, two police cars and several sidecar motorcycles screeched to a halt at the entrance of the courtyard house.
Xiao Li and the others got out of the car, entered the courtyard, and headed straight for the Sun family's house.
Because it was the weekend, there were still quite a few neighbors at the door. When they saw this, they all came over.
When Xiao Li arrived at the Sun family's house, he briefly explained the situation to Lin Wencui, hoping that she could cooperate with the police investigation and play a supervisory and reassuring role.
After hearing about the situation, Lin Wencui knew the importance and urgency of the matter, so she decided to postpone taking photos and deal with the immediate issue first.
"Officer Li, don't worry, I know what to do. Let's go over there now!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Director Lin. Without further ado, let's get started."
The group then headed towards the Intermediate People's Court.
Sun Zhengguo had heard everything clearly: Yi Zhonghai was suspected of murder. Considering the treasures taken away that day, he understood that it must be related to this.
So he followed them to the Intermediate People's Court, watching the commotion while releasing his spiritual energy to scan Yi Zhonghai's house.
Sure enough, the treasure box that once contained pig manure had been moved to a different place and was now lying quietly under the cabinet in Yi Zhonghai's house.
Of course, the pig manure inside was gone, presumably it had been thrown away.
Sun Zhengguo originally did not intend to return the jewelry, but now he is determined to bring Yi Zhonghai to justice.
He could only secretly move the jewelry back into the box to avoid the police being unable to find any evidence.
By this time, the Intermediate People's Court was already surrounded by people, and Officer Li had already shown the search warrant and stated his purpose.
At this point, Aunt Yi was so frightened that she was completely at a loss. She hadn't expected that the police would still be investigating something that had happened so long ago.
Then my husband wasn't just working overtime last night; he's probably already in jail.
Next, Officer Li arranged for Mr. and Mrs. Sun Dajiang, Mr. Li from the backyard, and Ms. Yi, the person involved, to be present to supervise the search operation.
As for why they didn't call for Liu Haizhong?
That's because we'll be taking him back for further investigation later, in case he's also involved in this matter.
"Alright, begin the search. Handle with care."
At a command, five or six police officers began a comprehensive, all-encompassing search.
In no time, some cash, probably less than a hundred yuan, two one-tael gold ingots, a gold ring, and some copper and silver coins were placed on the table.
After searching the visible areas, they began searching the hidden areas.
Officer Li continued to ask whether the items on the table belonged to the Yi family.
These originally belonged to the Yi family. Although hoarding gold was somewhat illegal, Aunt Yi still nodded in agreement.
After all, there are plenty of these things around these days, so people usually turn a blind eye and just exchange them at the bank if necessary.
"Report: We found a wooden box under this cabinet, and the materials used are quite sophisticated."
At this point, the search team brought over a wooden box, but did not open it. These things could only be opened after the on-site supervisors had inspected them.
When Officer Li saw the wooden box, his eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to look at Aunt Yi.
"Is this box from your company?"
"This...this...?" Aunt Yi was a little dazed. When did this thing appear in the house? Could it be...?
"Whether it is or isn't, you should think carefully. If you talk nonsense, you will be held legally responsible."
Officer Li clearly wasn't going to give Aunt Yi a chance to think it over, and quickly gave her a hard time.
"No, I've never seen it before."
Sure enough, this tactic worked, and Aunt Yi responded immediately.
"Are you sure?" Officer Li asked again.
“I’m absolutely sure.” Aunt Yi quickly nodded again.
"Open the box!" Officer Li waved his hand, indicating.
"yes."
The investigators received orders and then opened the box.
