Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Page 127

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xu Damao revealed all the information he had obtained from Yan Bugui.

He also explained the points of conflict between himself and his son Liu Haizhong, and indeed, according to this line of thought...

The suspects are Liu Haizhong and his son.

The factory manager wrote all these things down in a notebook, and after Xu Damao finished speaking, he quickly left the courtyard.

Go to the inspectorate; this important lead must be submitted as soon as possible.

If things take a turn for the better, although I won't gain much benefit, I won't cause too much trouble either.

Anyway, that's what the factory manager was thinking.

"Liu Haizhong and his son, you two just wait. If this matter is traced back to you, I will make sure your family is destroyed. I am in this predicament now entirely because of you two."

Xu Damao revealed a fierce look, thinking to himself.

Liu Haizhong's home.

"Dad, today I saw the director of the film studio come to our courtyard to look for Xu Damao, and then he left in a hurry. This morning I also saw Xu Damao being pushed out and then brought back. Does this mean this matter is going to be investigated again?"

Liu Guangqi was already very uneasy, and these past two days, he has been extremely anxious at the slightest sign of trouble.

"What's the panic? I've already found out. The factory has already issued its punishment for him, and no one will mention this matter again. Don't be so suspicious all the time. If you act differently than usual, it will only arouse suspicion."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said.

Chapter 155 Visits and Investigations

However, what Liu Haizhong and his son did not expect was...

The inspection team has begun conducting preliminary investigations and visits.

Because the road Xu Damao was taking was a one-way street, and it was located on the west side of Beijing.

It just so happened that Xu Damao went to show a movie, which was also the time when most residents were going home from get off work.

Fortunately, the investigation and visits went very smoothly.

By questioning residents living in the western part of the area, the inspection team quickly learned the details.

That afternoon, several workers who were leaving get off work saw Xu Damao.

They didn't know who Xu Damao was, only because of his clothes and appearance.

And that brand-new bicycle, with the projector strapped to the back, was quite eye-catching.

In those days, bicycles were a very rare item.

Riding a bicycle on the street naturally attracts attention, and everyone is already used to seeing that projector.

That machine would appear at the screening location every time a movie was shown.

Based on the statements provided by the residents, it can be confirmed that Xu Damao was at approximately six o'clock that afternoon.

Heading west to the village, this matches the time Xu Damao himself said he would go to the screening.

This alone could only provide some clues, and the inspection team continued its investigation.

Finally, perseverance paid off, and an eyewitness was found during the questioning.

……

"Hello comrade, I am a member of the inspection team. There is something I would like to ask you. If you have seen it truthfully, please be sure to tell us. Remember not to hide anything."

The inspector said seriously.

"No problem, comrade. Please feel free to ask any questions. I will tell you the truth as long as I know it, and I will never hide anything."

The residents spoke honestly.

"On the afternoon of November 2nd, around six o'clock, did you see a bicycle pass by from the west?"

The inspectors continued their questioning.

"You mean that brand new bicycle? Of course I saw it. I was buying something on the street and waiting for my turn when another bicycle passed by, but that one was relatively dilapidated and not as new."

The residents tried hard to recall what had happened that afternoon.

To their west, almost no one owns a bicycle, so seeing one pass by is a very rare and unusual sight for everyone.

To buy a bicycle, first you need to have enough money, and secondly, you need something very important: a bicycle ticket.

You couldn't buy a bicycle without that receipt, so everyone has a pretty strong memory of bicycles.

You mean after that brand new bicycle passed by.

"Was there a projector strapped to the back of that brand-new bicycle?"

The inspectors quickly asked.

"Of course there is. I've seen that thing before, I definitely recognize it. It's tied to the back of the car, very securely. Maybe the film studio staff went to show a movie somewhere again."

The resident replied.

"So, after the bicycle carrying the projector passed by, another bicycle followed in the same direction, right?"

The inspectors pressed for an answer.

"That's right, I'm absolutely sure I didn't see wrong, but there's one thing that's quite puzzling. When that brand-new bicycle was being ridden in front, there was a young man behind him, who wasn't very tall."

"He was chasing after the bike the whole way. It didn't look like he was exercising. If the bike was slow, he would run slower; if the bike was fast, he would chase faster."

The residents recounted in detail what they had witnessed that day.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation. We will come to find you again if needed. Would you mind leaving your current address?"

The inspectors said sincerely.

The residents naturally cooperated obediently, giving their addresses to the inspection team members.

Based on all the clues we have so far, we only need to identify the person riding the bicycle.

And the person chasing Xu Damao's bicycle was Liu Haizhong and his son, so the clues in this matter have been clarified.

That's why we need this resident's address; it's so he can recognize the person.

Even though it happened several days ago, I still have some recollection of it.

Back to the inspectorate headquarters.

The inspection team members wrote a report on the results of their visits and investigations and submitted it to their superiors.

The leaders were furious when they saw it, never expecting that they had made a mistake.

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

This is no simple matter, but we can't worry about that now.

Correcting mistakes and finding out the truth are the most important things.

As long as Xu Damao doesn't pursue their responsibility, this matter can be either a big deal or a small deal.

"This is the proof I'm providing. I'll immediately send someone to the courtyard to find Liu Haizhong and his son, bring them back to the inspection team, and also call over the resident who provided the clue so they can identify whether they are indeed Liu Haizhong and his son."

The inspectorate leader immediately gave the order, and his subordinates, disregarding the fact that it was already break time, hurriedly carried out the order.

A group of people arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house in an orderly fashion.

"Squad leader, this is the place. It's already past closing time, and the father and son should have already gone home. Shall we go and arrest them now?"

.... .. 0

The inspectors asked.

"Initiate the arrest operation immediately. Remember, do not harm those arrested. They are suspects, not criminals."

The squad leader said seriously.

The inspection team solemnly entered the courtyard house, where the residents had all gone home from get off work.

They chatted leisurely in the courtyard, the women were preparing dinner, and the children were playing happily in the yard.

I saw a group of people in uniforms walk into the courtyard.

The once noisy and bustling courtyard house fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the inspection team.

Everyone was very puzzled. The military personnel had only been gone for two days, and now the inspection team had arrived at the courtyard.

How could this not make the residents living in the courtyard houses feel nervous?

Only Li Xiangdong looked out from inside the door, his heart unusually calm.

I didn't expect the inspection team to be so dedicated to investigating the truth this time.

It's only been two days, and they've already come to the courtyard house. There's no doubt they're here to see Liu Haizhong and his son.

I've already made this line so obvious.

If we can't find such obvious clues and evidence, then it won't make sense.

"Liu Haizhong, Liu Haizhong, you've done utterly wicked things! How could you dare to do something like this? You deserve this fate. I hope things escalate and become unmanageable."

Chapter 156 The Inspectorate Has Arrived

Li Xiangdong watched this scene calmly at home, and it went almost exactly as planned.
