Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

As the captain of a small squad at the County City Police Bureau, Liao Zhi'an received a case like this in the middle of the night, and it truly left him speechless. Five Ultramen breaking into a private residence in the middle of the night, breaking the victim's legs, and then running off — such an absurd thing, would anyone believe it if told?

So Liao Zhi'an's first reaction wasn't to check the surrounding surveillance, but to have someone take Liang Xinghua away for a drug test.

The reason for having Liang Xinghua drug tested had another important reason as well: Liao Zhi'an discovered Liang Xinghua's gaze was somewhat dazed, and based on his many years of case-handling experience, he judged that this kind of person had most likely gotten high.

The drug test results came out very quickly.

Sure enough, Liang Xinghua had taken drugs!

"The drug test result is positive. Did you get so high yourself that you messed up your own leg like this?"

Liao Zhi'an looked at Liang Xinghua with an expression full of contempt, and couldn't help but say a few more words:

"Speaking of which, isn't your daughter right next to you? Can't you think of your daughter and take the initiative to quit? No wonder your wife left you!"

Liang Xinghua's face was full of bewilderment:

"No, when did I take drugs? I didn't take drugs! I'm a law-abiding citizen!"

At this moment he recalled the process of being beaten, and only then realized:

"When I was being beaten, an Ultraman stuffed a pill into my mouth. It must be because of that pill!"

Then he hurriedly explained further:

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask my daughter! A child wouldn't lie! I can swear to heaven, it really was five people wearing Ultraman costumes who broke in and beat me! And I can determine that these five Ultramen were most likely sent by that bastard Wang Erhai!"

Liao Zhi'an looked at Liang Xinghua with not only contempt but also disdain, and of course, also a tiny bit of sympathy.

He said coldly:

"According to the Administrative Detention Punishment Law, you took drugs, and that warrants detention."

Liang Xinghua flared up: "No, why don't you investigate those five Ultramen! Check the surveillance! There's no surveillance inside the rental house, but there is surveillance downstairs!"

Liao Zhi'an just said:

"Rest assured, our police handle cases very rigorously. The surveillance will definitely be checked, but regarding your drug use, I hope you stop quibbling. If you keep quibbling, we'll only be able to finalize your punishment."

Liao Zhi'an had encountered many drug addicts, and knew that addicts lie as soon as they open their mouths, and their actions have no bottom line. So he felt that although Liang Xinghua spoke firmly, sounding as if it were true, it was most likely nonsense.

Sigh, just pity his daughter, she's still so young.

To actually have a dad like this!

His daughter's life is mostly ruined already.

Liao Zhi'an had someone check the surveillance around the rental building where Liang Xinghua was staying.

This check confirmed everything was exactly as he expected.

There were no Ultramen at all, okay!

Instead, there were five suspicious-looking strangers who entered that rental house.

Liao Zhi'an had people go find those five individuals on one hand, and personally went to question Liang Henlan on the other.

"Little treasure, what's your name?"

"I used to be called Liang Ailan, but I changed my name. Now I'm called Liang Henlan."

"Which 'Hen', which 'Lan'?"

"Dad said, the 'Hen' from hatred, the 'Lan' from orchid."

Liao Zhi'an was speechless: "Why change it to a name like this? Who still uses the character 'Hen' in names nowadays? Your dad must have taken too many drugs to give you this name, right?"

Liao Zhi'an thought for a moment. It seemed that in this world, besides Zhang Hen Shui, no one else used the character 'Hen' in their name. And Zhang Hen Shui was a pen name; his original name was Zhang Xinyuan!

Liang Henlan said: "Dad said I must remember to hate two people. One is my mom, she's called Lan Menglian. My mom abandoned me and Dad and left. The other is Aunt Li Xiulan, she's the mistress of the Wang Family, and our family has a blood-deep feud with the Wang Family!"

Liao Zhi'an looked at the little girl before him, his eyes full of sympathy.

Such a small girl, who doesn't understand anything, yet he instilled all sorts of hateful notions into her. This guy Liang Xinghua is simply unworthy of being a father!

Liang Henlan spoke again at this time:

"Dad didn't lie. There really were five Ultramen. They broke in at midnight and beat Dad. I was sleeping at the time, got woken up by the noise, opened my eyes, and saw Diga Ultraman, Gaia Ultraman, Zero Ultraman, Galaxy Ultraman, Dyna Ultraman beating and kicking Dad. I know all these Ultramen; they fight monsters on TV. Didn't expect they'd run out of the TV to beat my Dad. After beating him, they told me Dad is a bad person, and they specialize in beating bad people."

Liang Henlan looked expectantly at Liao Zhi'an and asked:

"Detective Uncle, is my dad really a bad person?"

Seeing Liang Henlan speak so convincingly, Liao Zhi'an also felt doubt in his heart. Could what she said be true?

After all, children don't lie.

But then he immediately thought: children indeed don't lie, but they do talk nonsense!

So Liang Henlan's statement cannot be taken as valid evidence.

The current stage still requires finding those five suspicious personnel as soon as possible!

Liao Zhi'an thought to himself: based on his many years of case-handling experience, Liang Xinghua was probably really beaten by someone, but the ones who beat him definitely weren't Ultramen. After all, those five suspicious personnel weren't wearing Ultraman costumes at all, okay!

It must be that Liang Xinghua took drugs and had hallucinations, which made him feel he was beaten by Ultramen. And he told his daughter he was beaten by Ultramen, which is why his daughter would speak so convincingly that her dad really was beaten by Ultramen.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Liao Zhi'an mobilized police force and quickly arrested those five suspicious personnel.

Upon questioning, they confessed without reservation, admitting they were the ones who beat him.

As for why they beat Liang Xinghua, it was because when Liang Xinghua worked as a foreman at Liguo Mountain before, he was too inhumane, always making things difficult for them workers. They bore a grudge in their hearts, so they came together to beat Liang Xinghua!

Liao Zhi'an checked, and sure enough, these five people had indeed done outsourced labor work for the Li Guoshan Decoration Company.

Liao Zhi'an asked them what relationship they had with Wang Erhai. They looked bewildered. Who is Wang Erhai? They don't know him at all!

They didn't lie; they indeed didn't know Wang Erhai, after all they were people Zhang Sheng sent to find, and had no direct contact with Wang Erhai at all.

Liao Zhi'an investigated and found out Wang Erhai was formerly one of the partners of Li Guoshan Decoration Company; Liang Xinghua was Wang Erhai's fellow townsman and was also brought into Li Guoshan Decoration Company by Wang Erhai.

Put that way, Wang Erhai did him a favor, so how could he hate Wang Erhai so much?

This person's funeral item has a problem!

"Police comrades, if you say we beat someone, we admit it, but if you say we wore Ultraman costumes to beat someone, we'd beat to death before admitting it; we're all big men, who would be so childish!"

One of the assailants admitted to the beating behavior without reservation, but firmly denied wearing an Ultraman costume.

Liao Zhi'an also felt these big men were unlikely to wear Ultraman costumes to beat Liang Xinghua; most likely Liang Xinghua took drugs and had a hallucination.
