The old lady said that Guan Laotou slipped and fell on his own. His family took him to the hospital, but he refused to go. She said that she and her grandson were beaten by Li Mancang. Li Mancang entered the house and started beating people. He wanted to rob the old man and the demolition compensation money. He knocked her and her grandson down.
The old lady thought that Old Man Guan would tell the truth. After all, they had been good servants for more than ten years, and their relationship was very harmonious. Although what happened last night was a bit awkward, Old Man Guan did not show any displeasure. He even thought that they did the right thing and that it was best not to cause trouble during the New Year.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Guan betrayed them, blaming everything on them.
The police asked about the phone again, but the old lady gave a vague and unclear explanation.
Zhou Changshun's statement was similar to the old lady's. He said he didn't know what happened inside the house. He said the old man left his cell phone with him. The police found the old man's cell phone in his pocket. The phone was turned off. When they turned it on, they saw dozens of missed calls.
The police asked why the old man hadn't answered the phone.
Zhou Changshun gave conflicting answers, sometimes saying the power was out, sometimes saying he hadn't heard it.
Zhou Changshun's son has not yet woken up, so it is not possible to take a statement for the time being.
The statements are inconsistent, which may involve murder. The police went to the scene to collect evidence.
Traces of cooking oil were found at the toilet entrance, and fingerprints were extracted from the two bricks used in the crime. One was the third brother's fingerprint, with blood on it belonging to Li Mancang. The other was the fingerprints of Guan Laotou and Changshun's son, with blood on it belonging to the old lady and Changshun's son.
Although Changshun's son's testimony was similar to that of the old lady after he woke up, there were no fingerprints of Li Mancang on the brick, so their testimonies were questionable.
There were traces of cooking oil at the entrance to the toilet. The old lady, Zhou Changshun, and her son both gave the same answer: they didn't know what happened.
Old Guan was unable to provide any further evidence.
Both sides lacked sufficient evidence, but the evidence that Zhou Changshun beat Lao San and that Zhou Changshun's son beat Guan Laotou was conclusive, and the father and son were temporarily detained.
The third brother hit Li Mancang, and Li Mancang just looked at the third brother with a sinister gaze, suspecting that this bastard wanted to inherit the family property.
The third brother tucked his tail between his legs, not daring to breathe.
The Li family had a terrible New Year.
Old Guan was extremely frustrated. His horse had stumbled, he had gone awry, and he almost lost his life.
Xiaoyu was taking care of Old Man Guan at the hospital. Xiaoyu's boyfriend, Guan Bo, also came to Beijing with his parents. Guan Bo liked Xiaoyu very much and wanted to settle the marriage as soon as possible. The Guan family also wanted to come to Beijing to see if Old Man Guan had any connection with them, so they came on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Unexpectedly, Old Man Guan was hospitalized, and the whole family rushed to the hospital to visit him.
Guan Bo introduced the two parties. Guan Bo's parents were in their fifties and were both very refined and cultured.
Guan Bo's father sat down next to Guan Laotou and looked him up and down as he spoke.
Old Man Guan said, "We all share the surname Guan, and your family is from the capital, so you should have some distant relatives. But I don't remember your father's name."
Guan Bo's father smiled and said, "That's what I was thinking too, which is why I took the liberty of looking at you. My father changed his name; his original name was Guan Yi. And you are, sir?"
Old Man Guan changed his name, so when Guan Bo's father mentioned Old Man Guan to the old man in the family, Old Man Guan didn't have much of an impression.
"Oh, it's Guan Yi, that kid. I used to play with him when we were kids," Old Man Guan chuckled.
Guan Bo's parents exchanged a glance. "Did you change your name too?"
