In fact, many people in the village cannot stand Zhang Chunhong's behavior.
However, due to various considerations, and because this is the Ye family's family affair, it is not easy to stand up for the Ye family's children.
The villager who was speaking was a neighbor of the Ye family. They had lived together for decades and he felt sorry for the two children of the Ye family.
Now is a rare opportunity, so of course she is willing to come out and testify so that people like Zhang Chunhong get the punishment they deserve!
This case involves homicide and theft, and the public security authorities attach great importance to it.
People were sent to investigate. When Old Lady Ye got into trouble, she still hired a barefoot doctor from the village, so they could tell us something about the cause of her death.
People were also sent to Xiahe Village to investigate the issue of Ye Dahe's compensation.
People in this era have very simple thoughts. Zhang Chunhong has remarried, so she has no share of Ye Dahe's compensation, and it should be left to his parents and children.
Instead of letting Zhang Chunhong take him back to her parents' home, or even to her new husband's home!
When the investigating police arrived at the Zhang family home in Xiahe Village, as soon as they mentioned "Ye Dahe's compensation," Mrs. Zhang launched into a tantrum: "What compensation? I don't know! My daughter remarried and has no connection with the Ye family anymore! Why are you asking me about this?"
When the police saw the old lady Zhang's attitude, they knew that she was trying to act like a rogue!
He immediately said with a stern face, "Your family members, Zhang Chunhong and Zhang Hongwei, have been detained by the police! If you want them to be released safely, it's best to honestly pay the compensation to reduce their guilt. Sentencing is often based on the value of the stolen property!"
When the old couple of the Zhang family heard that their beloved son had been detained by the police, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Old man Zhang asked the police nervously, "Comrade Police, what happened to my Hongwei? He just went to his nephew's house with his sister this morning. Why was he detained by the police?"
"Humph! He came to the house and forced two orphans, and they were military dependents. If we don't detain him, who should we detain? Cut the crap! Zhang Chunhong stole the compensation money, and they both confessed to it. Zhang Weihong is also an accomplice! The amount of compensation is not small. If he is sentenced, it will be at least ten years!"
Sentencing? !
ten years!
Old Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
Old man Zhang was not in a much better condition either, and was extremely panicked.
I just wanted my son to get a job, how could it turn out like this!
Everyone else in the family went to work, and the children were either going to school or collecting grass for the pigs.
Unable to find anyone else to discuss the matter, Old Man Zhang had to force himself to explain, "My Hongwei isn't a bad kid, he just doesn't think before he speaks. He's the child's uncle, so why is he forcing the child? Our family doesn't know about the compensation! We have no idea whether Chunhong took it or not!"
Wow! This is sacrificing the rook to save the king!
My son is more important; I don’t care whether my daughter is dead or alive!
Your family doesn’t know whether Zhang Chunhong received the compensation or not. Are you kidding me?
The two policemen had mocking eyes.
"You two old people don't know, but what about the rest of the family? Even Zhang Hongwei knows, how could the others not know?"
Without waiting for Old Man Zhang to explain, the police officer continued, "Then let's go to the fields and question the rest of your Zhang family. If anyone lies and we expose them, they'll be Zhang Chunhong's accomplice and will receive the same sentence!"
this!
Old man Zhang was dumbfounded!
He also planned to wait until the police left and then coordinate his statements with his son and daughter-in-law!
As a result, the police decided to go directly to the field to ask someone.
This was caught off guard, and his own son knew it himself. They were not that smart!
Old man Zhang wanted to continue to defend himself, but the police didn't want to listen to his excuses and turned around and walked towards the field.
One son has been arrested, so why continue to implicate other sons?
Old man Zhang couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately shouted, "I know! I know Chunhong has the compensation money back! I know where it is! I'll get it and give it to you!"
Upon hearing this, the police looked at each other and turned back.
Old man Zhang couldn't help but emphasize again: "It was all Chunhong's idea. My husband and I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen. My other sons don't know about this; it has nothing to do with them! Weihong only went to the Ye family after hearing his sister say she wanted to take Ye Dahe's job and give it to him."
The police officer remained silent, saying, "If you pay the compensation, the rest of your family won't be implicated. As for Zhang Hongwei, it depends on what he confesses."
Old man Zhang had no choice. He had already admitted it and could not go back on his word. He had to go back to his room and take out the compensation money he had hidden.
Old Mrs. Zhang had been frightened by the police's words before, but now she saw the old man take out the money, she immediately came to her senses and insisted, "This money was brought back by Chunhong to honor me! Ye Dahe died, leaving my daughter Chunhong a widow. Shouldn't this compensation be given to my daughter? Why should she take it back?"
Old Man Zhang had no choice but to take out the money. His heart was already bleeding. Seeing the old woman throwing a tantrum, he immediately yelled, "It's already late, and you're still making a fuss? You want all your sons arrested, so keep making a fuss! Hongwei has already been arrested and taken to the Public Security Bureau. You want him to go to jail, right?"
Hearing her son being arrested, Old Lady Zhang lost all her energy and spirit. She could only mutter, "The money was brought back by Chunhong. Why arrest Hongwei when they can just arrest Chunhong?"
The police officer ignored Mrs. Zhang and took the money from her hand. After counting it and finding the amount correct, he felt relieved.
In fact, getting the compensation back is the most difficult part.
Because Zhang Chunhong, as Ye Dahe's wife, is eligible for compensation.
It's also very difficult to find evidence that she took the money. If she flatly denies it and hides the money, you can't go in and search, which is really difficult.
Therefore, when the police faced the elderly couple from the Zhang family, they chose to cut the Gordian knot from the beginning.
As long as we scare Old Man Zhang into confessing and handing over the money honestly, the mission will be completed.
After writing the confession, he asked Old Man Zhang to sign it.
After the matter was settled, the two policemen returned to the Public Security Bureau with the money and confession.
With the new evidence, the Zhang siblings had no choice but to tell the truth.
Especially Zhang Hongwei, he was a sneaky and cunning second-rate guy. When he was sent to the public security bureau, he was so scared that he told everything, even how old he was when he dug out ant nests and how old he was when he stole sweet potatoes from the fields.
But he didn't know much, and his confession was not very useful.
On the other side, after the police left, Old Man Zhang came back to his senses.
After thinking about it, she ran to the field and called the eldest brother back, asking him to quickly notify Zhang Chunhong's new husband.
This new son-in-law is from the Revolutionary Committee!
Since both the daughter and son are in trouble, of course the new son-in-law has to come forward to bail them out!
