At two o'clock in the afternoon, people from the County Public Security Bureau arrived at Xiaowantou, which was quite quick.
Seeing that more people from the Public Security Bureau had arrived, everyone in the production team had no intention of working. They all gathered around to watch. There were people sitting in three layers of crowds around Old Octopus's house.
It was only after Secretary Zou called Yu Fugui over and scolded him that Yu Fugui took him away and specially arranged for him to work in a more distant plot of land.
Prior to this, Old Octopus’s youngest son Yu Yuqiong and his wife Chen Xiaofeng were also found.
The two men said they went to Chen Xiaofeng's mother's home. As soon as they came back, they joined forces with their brother Yu Daqi and said they wanted to bury the old octopus immediately, because the weather was hot and they didn't want to leave it like that.
In order to stop them from burying Old Octopus immediately, Secretary Zou argued until his throat became hoarse, which delayed the matter until the police arrived.
When the police arrived, they separated the old octopus's body with a curtain for inspection.
Everyone in the family of Old Octopus's two sons looked at the busy police with disdain, as if all this was unnecessary.
However, when he heard an old official from the Public Security Bureau come out and tell Secretary Zou that Old Octopus seemed to have died from eating something bad and that they needed to investigate, the youngest son, Yu Yu, started to yell:
"Alright, alright, stop it. I don't know who the hell reported this to. My dad has Alzheimer's and has been eating inappropriately. He's already in this state. How could he still be alive? We, his children, won't pursue the matter. Is that not okay? Why are we investigating? If we leave it here like this, we still have to hold a funeral. We don't want to do that. We don't have the money! Just bury it!"
When he shouted this, other descendants also shouted: "That's right, just bury it, don't investigate!"
There was a fierce-looking man named Xiaozhi from the Public Security Bureau. He looked at Yu Xiaozhi and said word by word, "What if I said you killed your father? Is that okay?"
Yu Yu couldn't help but step back: "I, I, how could I have killed him? Why would I kill him?"
Na Qizhi continued to maintain his expression: "Then why are you blocking our investigation? No matter how much you hate your father, as long as the person didn't die of natural causes, it's a case. We have the right to investigate. No one can stop us. Whoever blocks us will be arrested. Understand?"
Now it's quiet.
The other descendants didn't dare to speak again.
People from the Public Security Bureau also went to the riverbank where the accident happened to check. Even when the oil lamps were lit in the village, these people did not leave, saying that there were many suspicious points.
Secretary Zou called Yu Fugui and asked him to clear out the production team warehouse.
Because the warehouse was previously a collectively-owned factory with a biogas digester for generating electricity, this made it easier for the public security bureau to continue investigating the case.
Yu Sui kept pacing around the house and stood outside the door to watch from time to time, but she never participated.
All the necessary information had been given to her, and she couldn't say anything more, otherwise it would affect the police's investigation.
Instead, the villagers went to the warehouse in groups. They were so curious. It was summer and they had nothing to do after dinner, so they just went to watch the fun.
Sun Yuying was so excited that she talked about this matter several times at home. Finally, a woman called out to her outside, and she hurriedly followed others to see it.
Yu Sui was waiting for news at home.
When it was almost midnight, Sun Yuying came back and shouted, "Oh, oh, he really was killed! They caught him, they caught him! You can't judge a person by his appearance!"
Yu Sui quickly asked, "Mom, who did you catch?"
Sun Yuying: “We caught several!”
"Several? Who are they?" This is surprising. How could there be several?
Sun Yuying: "First they arrested Yu Yuqiong and his wife, but soon they started arguing. We all heard it from outside. The police asked, 'Which of you did it?' Yu Yuqiong's voice immediately rang out, 'She! She!' Then we heard Chen Xiaofeng's voice split open, 'Yes, it was me! It was me who did it. I don't know who it was, but they kept saying they wanted to kill him at home and asked me to find a way. I said, 'Then go buy some rat poison.' Who said that? Who said that?'"
Sun Yuying is very good at imitating people's speech, and she can imitate both men and women's speech perfectly.
Yu Sui: "That means both of them have confessed. Both husband and wife took action."
Sun Yuying: "Is that how it's calculated? If so, then everyone will be sued?"
Yu Sui: "That's the theory, but it depends on what the Public Security Bureau does. By the way, you said you arrested several people, who else is there?"
"Yu Laojiu! Oh, that couple was arguing, and Chen Xiaofeng said something like... Oh, 'Now that something's wrong, you blame me.' If that's the case, then it wasn't my idea to use rat poison. Your father deserves to die. So many people hate him, Yu Laojiu hates him too. Yu Laojiu has told me so many times that a packet of rat poison can solve the problem, and a packet of rat poison can send him to hell. If that's the case, then he taught me that!"
Although Yu Sui had suspected that most of what Yu Laojiu and Yu Sui had said before were false since she learned from Sun Yuying that Old Octopus had had an affair with Yu Laojiu's wife, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch when she heard what Sun Yuying had said.
Sure enough, she felt that Yu Laojiu was holding back when he said those words last time.
At first she thought she was too sensitive, but considering the circumstances of Yu Laojiu's wife's death, she began to doubt Yu Laojiu.
Yu Laojiu was definitely not clean, but she was not sure to what extent.
Yu Sui pursed her lips and analyzed these things in her mind. Sun Yuying had already returned to her room yawning. She was following a TV series and finally finished it. Only now did she realize how sleepy she was.
Yu Sui took advantage of Sun Yuying returning to her room and quietly slipped out of the gate.
There were still groups of commune members standing in the village lanes, discussing this matter.
Yu Sui hurried to the warehouse and happened to meet the police escorting a few people out, so she walked towards the team.
The Public Security Bureau's car was parked at the brigade headquarters. It seemed that they were going to take the person to the county town.
Secretary Zou and a tall policeman walked in front, and Yu Laojiu walked at the end.
His hands were tied behind his back, he was slung like a shrimp, and he walked very slowly, even the police escorting him became impatient.
When Yu Laojiu saw Yu Sui, he stopped and looked at Yu Sui intently.
Yu Sui didn't avoid looking at him and stared at him.
The policeman was about to come over and push him forward, but he called out to Yu Sui, "Little girl, come here."
The police looked at Yu Sui and shook his head at her, signaling her not to come over.
But Yu Sui ignored him and just walked over: "Uncle Laojiu, what do you want to tell me?"
Yu Laojiu sighed: "I should have died a long time ago. It's fine now. Just wait, I will exchange Zhang Caifeng for me."
Yu Sui didn't expect him to say this, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but the police grabbed his arm and pulled him away.
The night grew late, and no matter how slowly Yu Laojiu walked, he gradually disappeared into the darkness and could no longer be seen.
