Chapter 54: Yi Zhonghai Goes to Jail

The first to be interrogated was the Deaf Old Lady; unexpectedly, this old thing had quite a bit of backbone, and for a full day and night, she did not let a single word slip.

But later, even if she didn't want to talk, she had no choice, as another important item was unearthed at her home; this old lady was not only a person from the Island Nation, but her older brother was also a Colonel!

That Colonel's original name was Kameda Junichiro, and the Deaf Old Lady's real name was not Liu Cuihua either; she was a well-trained female spy named Kameda Meiko.

As for that middle-aged man who was shot dead, he was also truly a person from the Island Nation, having laid low in Sijiucheng for many years without ever leaving.

In this situation, the Deaf Old Lady absolutely could not escape being executed by firing squad!

That very evening, she was locked in prison under strict guard, and several prison guards were specifically arranged to take turns on duty; even when she went to the restroom, she had to be watched.

As for her godson Yi Zhonghai, he was a protective umbrella the Deaf Old Lady had hidden in Sijiucheng; with this connection, others would not suspect her identity.

Later, she also adopted Shazhu as her grandson; to outsiders, this old lady could be considered to have had a happy twilight of her life.

However, who could have imagined that the Deaf Old Lady's true identity was actually so terrifying!

For someone like Yi Zhonghai who was unaware, under normal circumstances, he would be released after being detained for seven days; Zhao Gangzi, the main figure in this operation, directly reported the matter of Yi Zhonghai embezzling his family's subsidies before he had transmigrated.

It was just that for lack of evidence, it had been dragged out until now, otherwise, the First Uncle would have been dealt with long ago.

"Gangzi, we have already understood this matter, but handling things still requires evidence," Ma Baoguo said, tapping the table and shaking his head helplessly at the young man before him.

Just as he said, they had suspected the old lady's identity before, but they could not take action without evidence; now, although Yi Zhonghai was still in detention, this charge clearly could not be brought against him directly.

"This..." Zhao Gangzi's brows furrowed slightly.

After all, Yi Zhonghai had handled this matter flawlessly; the subsidies from above had indeed been issued, but they had not reached the Zhao Family, and as for their specific whereabouts, Zhao Gangzi could be certain it was Yi Zhonghai!

Just as the two were still discussing, the Second Uncle Liu Haizhong, whose interrogation had ended, knocked on the door and walked in, saying: "I can testify to this matter! Old Yi came to find me at the time!"

"Because Zhao Gangzi was mentally confused at the time and lacked the capacity to act, Old Yi always had others collect it on his behalf..."

Liu Haizhong did not let this opportunity pass and spilled the matter right in front of the station chief.

He was not doing it for Zhao Gangzi's sake; this move was purely to topple the First Uncle from his position so that the entire Siheyuan would be under his family's sole control.

Subsequently, the Second Uncle laid out the whole process of the matter and even produced substantive evidence; over those few years, he had embezzled a full 100-plus yuan.

Very quickly, this matter was clarified, and Ma Baoguo acted very swiftly, immediately interrogating Yi Zhonghai overnight; the First Uncle had not dared to close his eyes for these past few days, his mind filled only with the matter of the old lady.

His spirit had reached the verge of collapse, and coupled with being intimidated a few times, in his confused state, he confessed to the matter.

For a crime like embezzling someone else's subsidies, under normal circumstances, one would have to be sentenced to eight or ten years, or one could spend a bit more money to reduce the number of years sentenced.

"Yi Zhonghai, I wrongly thought you were an upright gentleman; I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"

Hearing that such a big incident had occurred in the Siheyuan, the Rolling Mill's Factory Director Yang Feng immediately could not sit still; he came to the prison overnight, first fiercely berating the Deaf Old Lady, and then the First Uncle.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai had also been locked into a cell, the more primitive kind of dungeon, and the Deaf Old Lady lived in the cell next door.

Yang Feng threw a document directly at the First Uncle and stated: "Do you know how much of an impact this has caused our factory? I don't care how many years you are sentenced to; from now on, there is no place for you in the factory!"

Before leaving, he also glared fiercely at the old lady.

In the prison, Yi Zhonghai had already lost the will to live; clutching the iron bars and looking at the old lady on the other side, he cried out: "Godmother! This matter is all your fault; it is you who have ruined me!"

At this time, the old lady was no longer as kind as before; she completely tore off her disguise, knowing she would not live much longer, and now she looked like a malicious ghost with disheveled hair.

Her body was also emitting waves of stench; she had clearly collapsed as well, suffering from fecal and urinary incontinence, and with the smell of excrement and urine mixed together, even the guarding prison guards wore masks.

"You are no good person either! What things have you done? Do you think I, this old woman, don't know?"

"Hehe, if I, this old woman, were to expose it all, the two of us would have company on the road to the Yellow Springs..."

The Deaf Old Lady laughed with a 'hee-hee' sound.

This kind of laughter made Yi Zhonghai's heart tremble, but fortunately, the Deaf Old Lady still remembered Yi Zhonghai's kindness in providing for her old age, and these sordid affairs were not spilled out.

But it really was too unlucky!

Especially that old thing Liu Haizhong, who actually dared to kick me while I was down!

Now it's fine; there's no getting out for eight or ten years.

As for Jia Zhangshi and the others.

Jia Zhangshi's prison break was a serious offense, and she originally should have been sentenced to twenty years in prison.

But due to her merit in subduing the Deaf Old Lady, the authorities decided to let Jia Zhangshi's merits offset her faults, acting as if the matter had never happened, and she was sent back to her original prison.

"I'll go to her eight generations of ancestors; she made me work for nothing again," Jia Zhangshi said, clutching her buttocks and cursing as she returned to her cell.

Not only did she accomplish nothing, but she was also missing half a buttock.

That was at least two jin of meat.

"Yo? Isn't this our big sister Jia Zhangshi back?"

"Heard you let a dog bite off half your butt?"

"You really deserve it! It's one thing to break out of prison yourself, but you even stole my underwear on the way out; you really are a shameless old thing..."

As soon as Jia Zhangshi entered the door, she provoked the wrath of her former cellmates, and without further ado, they grabbed Jia Zhangshi and gave her a violent beating.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

Jia Zhangshi kept yelping and waving her hands in resistance.

And when the others saw that Jia Zhangshi still dared to resist, they immediately hit her even more vigorously.

That heroic scene of dozens of people beating Jia Zhangshi.

They beat Jia Zhangshi until she defecated all over the floor.

She was already missing half a buttock, and now it was all smeared over her backside, a sight that made the many cellmates feel nauseous.

"This old thing is really tough; she's been beaten for a long time and is still fine; how unlucky!"

Two hours later, the crowd stopped their fists, exhausted; seeing Jia Zhangshi looking fat and thick-headed, she was just more resistant to beatings than ordinary people.

Jia Zhangshi was suffering inhuman torture in prison, and her son Jia Dongxu was also taken out after the interrogation.

After that night, Jia Dongxu had suffered too great a blow, and his mental state was already disordered; he was suspicious of everyone he saw.

Especially Qin Huairu at home; the more he looked at her, the more she looked like an Island Nation woman.

Perhaps this little bitch also had some bloodline in her.

"Dongxu, come drink your medicine..."
