Although most people had already gone to work, there were still quite a few elderly women staying in the courtyard.
When several police cars pulled up at the door, the middle-aged women and young wives instantly erupted in chaos.
"Hey everyone! Come quick, check it out, Yi Zhonghai is sitting in the car."
"Really? Then we should go take a look."
"Quick, quick, let's go take a look together."
...
After the police car came to a stop, Yi Zhonghai, dragging his heavy shackles, slowly got out of the car.
Seeing so many familiar eyes staring at him, he finally lowered his proud head, not daring to look them in the eye.
This moment was truly 'infinitely glorious'; even when he passed the Level 8 worker exam, he hadn't seen so many people watching.
At this moment, not only were there people from this courtyard, but also people from several neighboring courtyards who had come to see the excitement, crowding the entrance to the courtyard to the point of being impassable.
"Everyone, please make way and stop crowding around."
Police officer Li quickly dispersed the crowd, opened a passage, and then several men escorted Yi Zhonghai straight to the backyard...
With a "click," the door, which had been sealed for some time, was opened again.
As Yi Zhonghai looked at the scene inside the deaf old woman's house, he recalled the events of that night, as if they had just happened...
Next, Yi Zhonghai spoke, Li Gongan took notes, and his entourage took photos.
After pointing out the scene inside the old lady's house, they went to the corridor of Liu Haizhong's house, and finally went to Yi Zhonghai's house, and made their own testimonies.
After all the evidence was presented, Yi Zhonghai was immediately taken back to the police station. He will now enter the judicial process and face severe legal punishment.
Around 10 a.m., Police Chief Li called the street office and the steel mill to report the incident, and then released Aunt Yi and Qin Huairu.
With this, the case of Yi Zhonghai's murder for financial gain has come to a close.
At the main gate of the courtyard house, Aunt Yi and Qin Huairu met unexpectedly, one after the other.
The expected insults or fight did not occur; the two of them quickly ran home.
When the people in the compound saw this, no one went up to ask what was going on; they just whispered among themselves.
"Sigh! I've heard that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai are having an affair. Is that true?"
"I think it's highly likely that she was too greedy and Yi Zhonghai chose to murder her for money in order to support her."
"So, if that's the case, then Aunt Yi was also a victim. Why didn't the two of them fight?"
How would I know?
...
While the neighbors were still gossiping, Aunt Yi came out of the house again and ran quickly towards the neighborhood office...
Director Qian of Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office was also having a headache. A murder had occurred in his jurisdiction, which was hardly a glorious thing.
Moreover, this also involves issues of conduct and subsequent housing problems.
Just then, Section Chief Liu and Staff Member Zhang walked in from outside.
"Director Qian, you wanted to see us."
"Section Chief Liu, Officer Zhang, you've been managing Compound No. 95. I just want to ask how to handle Qin Huairu's matter this time, and what to do about the Yi family's house?"
After listening to Director Qian's words, Section Chief Liu and Staff Member Zhang exchanged a glance, and then Section Chief Liu provided the answer.
"Director Qian, regarding Qin Huairu's matter, we'll stick to the old rules: parading her through the streets and subjecting her to 'study.' As for the Yi family's house? We definitely can't keep it. Once Yi Zhonghai is officially dismissed from the steel mill, we'll just take it back!"
"Well, that's the only way."
Director Qian nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject.
"However, we need to comfort Yi Zhonghai's wife and children and explain the policies to them."
Because of their special circumstances—they were adopted in the first place—we can't let outsiders think that our neighborhood committee is mistreating orphans and widows.
"Don't worry, Director Qian, we will definitely do our best to appease them and minimize the impact of public opinion."
"Okay! I trust you to handle things. Go ahead and get busy!"
After receiving Director Qian's approval, the two left the office and were about to discuss things when they saw Aunt Yi hurriedly walk into the street office.
Section Chief Liu knew that Aunt Yi must have come because of Yi Zhonghai, so he had no choice but to invite her into his office.
"Aunt Yi, is there something you need?"
When Section Chief Liu asked, Aunt Yi didn't stand on ceremony and directly explained her purpose.
"Section Chief Liu, you know about my family situation. I'm not afraid to admit it, but I want to sever all ties with Yi Zhonghai and get a divorce."
Hearing Aunt Yi's request, Section Chief Liu was not surprised.
On the contrary, Aunt Yi's choice at this time was very wise.
“Aunt Yi, this is very simple and I can get it done for you in a moment. Yi Zhonghai doesn’t need to be there. Do you have any other requests? If so, please let me know.”
"Section Chief Liu, I really do have something to discuss with you. Please take a look at this first."
As she spoke, Aunt Yi took out a property deed from her person and handed it to Section Chief Liu.
Section Chief Liu didn't know what Aunt Yi meant, so he just took it and glanced at it.
The next second, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"What? Aunt Yi, is this true? Your house is private property."
"Yes, in our compound, only He Daqing's family lives there. The old lady's family and my family's house are private property, and most people don't know that. I came here this time to change the name on the property registration to my name. Please help me."
"No problem, I'll take care of it." Section Chief Liu agreed very readily.
He hadn't known how to ask the widow and her child to move out, but now that it was their private property, it saved him a lot of trouble.
"Then I'll have to trouble Section Chief Liu."
Aunt Yi never expected things to go so smoothly.
However, she hadn't forgotten that bitch Qin Huairu, so she asked again.
"Section Chief Liu, Qin Huairu has broken up other people's families and has improper conduct. I wonder how the neighborhood committee should handle this?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Yi, we'll definitely take her on a parade this weekend, and we'll also have her come here for three months of rehabilitation."
Hearing what Section Chief Liu said, Aunt Yi felt a little better.
Afterwards, Section Chief Liu first took her to complete the house transfer procedures, and then helped her complete the divorce procedures.
However, this was not the end. In the end, Aunt Yi hardened her heart and changed the surnames of the two children to Zhou, so that they would follow her own surname. This was considered a complete break with Yi Zhonghai.
On the other side.
The steel rolling mill also organized a small-scale meeting regarding Yi Zhonghai's matter.
At the meeting, no one objected to the decision to dismiss Yi Zhonghai; after all, he was a man who was about to die, and it was just a formality.
But everyone was stumped about Qin Huairu's situation.
Because she is a permanent employee, it is not easy to fire her, especially given her family's current situation.
If Qin Huairu is fired, how will this family live in the future?
After all, all three children are innocent; we can't condemn them all with one blow.
Ultimately, Director Yang listened to everyone's opinions and decided on the following punishment.
First, Qin Huairu will receive a major demerit, be publicly criticized at a factory-wide meeting, and will be immediately dismissed if she does it again.
Secondly, Qin Huairu was relieved of her position as a fitter and reassigned to the cleaning team to clean toilets, with her monthly salary reduced to 18.5 yuan.
They were originally going to fine her some wages, but considering her family situation, the matter was dropped in the end.
It can be said that from today onwards, Qin Huairu's reputation is completely ruined, even worse than that of Jia Zhangshi.
