Chapter 38 The truth is revealed
Zhou Yi stepped into the ward.
There are three beds in the ward, and my grandfather's bed is the innermost one next to the window.
Next to the bed sat a fat boy with long hair, crossing his legs and shaking.
This little fat boy is his cousin Zhou Kai.
Zhou Kai grabbed an apple from the green metal cabinet, wiped it on his body, and took a big bite.
Zhou Kai, with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, was about to continue speaking when he turned around and saw Zhou Yi.
He was so scared that he immediately put down his shaking legs and stood up.
"elder brother."
Zhou Kai has been afraid of Zhou Yi since he was a child, especially after Zhou Yi became a policeman, he became even more afraid of him.
Zhou Yi frowned and nodded as a greeting.
Zhou Yi had no intention of confronting his grandfather on the spot about what he heard outside the door just now. After all, his grandfather had just woken up and he couldn't provoke him.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you."
Zhou Yi called out softly, and when he saw his grandfather open his eyes, which had been closed on the hospital bed, his eyes suddenly turned red.
At this moment, he was most grateful to God for giving him a new life.
Compared to solving the case, saving grandpa is the most important thing.
"Xiaoyi," Grandpa said slowly and weakly, "Your aunt told me that if it weren't for you, Grandpa would have died."
"How can that be? Grandpa, you are going to live to be a hundred years old." Zhou Yi smiled, but there were tears in his eyes.
"Dad, I'm back. Are you okay? Dad!" Zhou Jianye's loud voice came from the door.
"Oh my, he's awake! Good to be awake! Good to be awake!" Zhou Jianye walked to the bedside and chuckled, "Dad is lucky."
The aunt who followed in rolled her eyes and said, "That's because I have a good grandson like Zhou Yi. Otherwise, I would have died at the hands of the second son and his wife long ago."
"Third sister, please say less to save our father from getting upset." Zhou Jianye knew that his elder sister and his second brother's wife had never gotten along, so he advised her.
At this time, Zhou Jianye saw Zhou Kai standing there with his head huddled, and shouted, "Xiao Kai, why didn't you call your uncle when you saw him? What's wrong with your hair? You look like a ghost, and your dad doesn't care?"
"Hello, Third Uncle. Well... I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." He said and walked out with his head down.
Zhou Kai hurried out of the ward and walked towards the exit, but suddenly a voice sounded behind him, which made him shudder all over.
"Zhou Kai!"
Zhou Kai turned his stiff body and saw his cousin Zhou Yi walking towards him.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Who inflicted the injuries on your body?"
Zhou Yi reached out and lifted up his long, weed-like hair, revealing a purple-black bruise on one side of his cheek.
"No..." Zhou Kai was about to deny it.
Zhou Yi said, "This wasn't a punch, it was a slap."
"Your father wouldn't want to hit you like this. Tell me, what's going on?"
"Brother, it's really nothing, just a few friends, playing around."
Zhou Kai smiled awkwardly, but Zhou Yi stared at him sharply, making him feel creepy.
It used to be because of the difference in height and size, plus I couldn't beat him, but then he became a policeman, and I was afraid of his skin.
But what happened today? I felt scared just by seeing this cousin.
He felt a strong sense of oppression on his body, which made his calves tremble.
"Are you kidding?" Zhou Yi snorted coldly. "You guys are playing around like this. You'll be detained for at least ten days. Do you want to tell me, your brother, now, or do you choose to come back with me to the station and tell the police?"
"I...I..." Zhou Kai kept shivering.
"Are you being blackmailed?"
Zhou Kai didn't say anything.
"gamble?"
Zhou Kai nodded, but still said nothing.
"How much did you lose?"
"I... I won several thousand at the beginning. I don't know what happened later, but my luck kept getting worse and worse, and then... then..."
Zhou Yi was too lazy to listen to his excuses and asked, "How much did you lose?"
Zhou Kai held up two fingers fearfully: "Twenty... twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand?" Zhou Yi felt a little confused. Twenty thousand yuan in 1997 was certainly a large sum of money, but it was not enough to make his uncle and aunt do such a thing.
"Just 20,000? Are you sure?" Zhou Yi asked coldly.
Zhou Kai shuddered and cried, "I lost 20,000 yuan, but I don't have any money... They said I could borrow it... But a few days ago, they said the interest on the money I borrowed is compounded, and now I have to pay back 80,000 yuan. If I don't pay it back, they will chop off both of my hands, wuwuwu..."
Finally, the truth came to light.
Zhou Yi suddenly felt a huge anger rising in his heart, Zhou Jianjun, Zhou Jianjun, for your son who is a useless piece of cake weighing only 800 kilograms of birthday peaches, you actually did something worse than an animal!
If I hadn't been reborn, my grandfather would have died in agony!
And Zhou Kai, that useless bastard, was clearly being tricked. Nine out of ten gambling losses are inevitable, and if someone set up a trap specifically to trick you, it would be a miracle if they didn't kill you.
This involves not only fraud, but also usury, violence and intimidation.
My goodness, this is definitely a gang with a mafia nature.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi had already figured out what to do about this matter.
"When does the other party ask you to pay back the money?" Zhou Yi asked, suppressing his anger.
"Next...next Monday night at seven o'clock, they said they would come to my house to get the money. If I run away, they will burn my house down. Wuuwuwu..."
At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly understood why his third uncle wanted to beat his second brother before. Zhou Yi now really wanted to kick this crying loser to death.
"Okay, next Monday, you and your parents wait for me at home. I'll be there before six o'clock and I'll take care of this!"
Zhou Kai looked up at him in shock, but he didn't expect him to say, "Brother, they are not afraid of the police."
Wow, you're not even afraid of the police?!
Okay, okay, here comes the performance!
"Zhou Kai, listen carefully. Either you let them chop off your hands, and I'll arrest and sentence them. Or you and your family of three will wait for me at home that night."
"You choose!"
What else can you choose? Even a fool knows which one to choose.
Zhou Kai nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.
"Let's go. Go back and cut off this stray hair for me, you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it." Zhou Kai ran away as if he had been pardoned.
Zhou Yi immediately found a public phone and dialed a number.
After a few beeps, a familiar voice rang out: "Municipal Public Security Bureau Criminal Investigation Detachment Third Squadron, who's this?"
"Brother Biao, I'm Zhou Yi."
"Hey, Zhou Yi, why did you run away? You didn't have enough fun drinking last night." Jiang Biao shouted on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Yi suddenly grinned and thought to himself, I will never drink alone with you again, even if you kill me.
"Next time, next time."
"Brother Biao, where's Captain Wu? I have another great opportunity to make a contribution."
