Chapter 100: Transformation

Qin Huairu thought of Li Xuewu's words last night and saw Li Xuewu's performance today, knowing that she must never let Bang Geng provoke him in the future.

The front courtyard was instantly empty, leaving only Sha Zhu pacing in the outer courtyard.

Qin Huairu called out: "Sha Zhu, are you still worried about Xu Damao?"

He Yu Shui also wanted to persuade her brother not to meddle in other people's business, but seeing that Sha Zhu didn't even listen to Qin Huairu, he couldn't listen to her either, so she didn't say anything and turned around to go back to the room.

Sha Zhu wanted to explain but couldn't open his mouth, so he could only ignore Qin Huairu and continue waiting for Li Xuewu to return.

Qin Huairu saw that Sha Zhu didn't pay attention to her, so she stopped talking nonsense and took the children home.

Li Xuewu supervised Er Er Da Ye carrying Xu Damao into the steel mill, handed him over to the detention room, and found the doctor on duty at the factory infirmary to treat Xu Damao's wounds.

In the handover certificate, it was also noted that Xu Damao's wounds were caused by himself during the arrest, and Er Er Da Ye signed to prove it.

He asked Er Er Da Ye to represent the resolution of all the people in the courtyard with Wei Tong on duty to make a record, Liu Fusheng to go to the police station to open a summons, and Li Xuewu escorted Xu Damao into the transformed detention room.

Ever since he saw the hotel-like detention room last time, Li Xuewu had asked the few people left behind to transform the detention room while he was on a business trip.

The windows were changed to be very small and blocked with cardboard, so there was no light in the room unless the lights were turned on.

Inside, the factory welder welded iron railings from top to bottom, separating the room into two halves—one half for detaining prisoners and the other for interrogation. On the detention side, a low kang was built on the ground, with only a few broken bedding rolls on the kang, and the iron bed had been moved away.

In the interrogation half, an interrogation chair from later generations was welded with steel plates, all iron. Sitting on it, the feet were off the ground, the legs were pressed by the cover plate, and the hands were handcuffed to the cover plate. One couldn't stand it after sitting for a while.

Opposite the interrogation chair, a table and two chairs were placed, looking a bit like the interrogation room of a police station in later generations.

Lock Xu Damao in the detention room.

Li Xuewu said sternly to Xu Damao, who was standing by the iron window: "I'm off today, no time to manage you. I'll be at work tomorrow. I hope you can honestly explain. If you explain more, there's a possibility of reducing your crime. Otherwise, just wait to eat a bullet."

Liu Fusheng behind him sighed inwardly at the section chief's cleverness. Anyone who stayed in this detention room for a night would be afraid. How could there be any reason not to explain?

"Tian A Jiang Lin"

As for Li Xuewu's words, he didn't believe a single word. Last time, the section chief also said this to Hu Jinbu, and now he heard he was going to be executed.

Liu Fusheng still looked deeply convinced on the surface, cooperating with the section chief.

After the two went out, they turned off the lights.

This trick was a bit like the solitary confinement room, first giving him psychological pressure.

"Don't stop the kang fire tonight, steam him."

"Yes."

Liu Fusheng was afraid when he looked at Li Xuewu. This trick was too... It was fine if a person was hungry, but if they were thirsty, they wouldn't be able to last long.

After Li Xuewu finished the detention procedures, Wei Tong over there also finished the record.

Er Er Da Ye walked home with Li Xuewu, not daring to speak on the way, afraid of provoking Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu saw Er Er Da Ye's appearance and thought: "Very good, it's better to scare him, saving him from being blinded by lard in the future. Being a seventh-level worker is considered a senior worker, why must he meddle with the cadres?"

It's a good thing to let him have an understanding of the power organs, saving him from harming the neighbors in the future without knowing the weight. Er Er Da Ye was the one who jumped the most in the courtyard, pretending to have great knowledge without culture, making people laugh.

Er Er Da Ye was just a fan of officials, without the guts to do evil, nor the guts to harm people. He was just greedy for money, a villain of the era. Scare him, and in the future, instill some positive energy thoughts into him from time to time, so he wouldn't mess around relying on being illiterate and not knowing the law.

When Li Xuewu got home, he saw Master Dou and Da Lao looking at each other in the inverted room. Just as he was about to go in to talk to Master Dou, he was pulled to the door of the gatehouse by Sha Zhu.

Li Xuewu asked knowingly: "Brother Zhu, what are you doing? I'm busy."

He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Xuewu, how is Xu Damao?"

Li Xuewu looked at Sha Zhu and said: "I'm telling you, public is public, private is private. If you want revenge, it won't work now."

He Yuzhu was anxious: "Am I that kind of person? I just want to ask how he is. Living in the front and back courtyards..."

Li Xuewu said: "I'm not at work today, I have things at home, too lazy to bother with him. We'll talk tomorrow. But this kid's reputation is not good, you should stay away from him."

He Yuzhu nodded and said: "I know, I know, but is it necessary for such a small matter? Isn't this pushing people to death? What if the matter is fake?"

Li Xuewu glared at Sha Zhu and shouted: "He Yuzhu, fake is fake, there is no 'what if.' Do you dare to take responsibility for the 'what if'? Do you understand what the law is? Rape is illegal, adultery is illegal, and slander is illegal. Do you dare to say that what you said is fake? I am performing official duties today, how can it be called dealing with him?"

He Yuzhu saw that Li Xuewu was anxious and hurriedly apologized: "I was wrong, I was wrong, slip of the tongue. But they are all neighbors living here. Look, can you let him make a guarantee and let him back?"

At this time, seeing Li Xuewu return, Yi Er Da Ye and San Er Da Ye both walked over. Hearing He Yuzhu's words, they both looked at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu grabbed Sha Zhu's collar, pressed him between Yi Er Da Ye and San Er Da Ye, and said: "Remember, things in the courtyard before reporting to the police are called friction between neighbors. After reporting to the police, this matter is called national law."

"You can do some small tricks in the courtyard, handle neighborhood disputes, and you can have the final say, but can you have the final say on national law? If there's nothing, stop talking nonsense with me, stay on the side."

After speaking, he took Master Dou and Da Lao, who had gathered around, back into the room.

Yi Er Da Ye, San Er Da Ye, and Sha Zhu all looked at each other.

This Li Xuewu had a dog's face. When not mentioning official business, he was like a little sheep, smiling. Once official business was mentioned, he was like a wolf that wanted to eat people, turning his face and not recognizing anyone.

No one had ever been so disrespectful in front of them before. The three of them were very uncomfortable, but they couldn't refute, nor did they dare to provoke Li Xuewu, so they all returned to their rooms in low spirits.

Li Xuewu invited Master Dou to sit at the Eight Immortals table and poured him a glass of water.

Master Dou took out the redrawn blueprint, marking the dimensions, materials, construction sequence, effects after construction, etc.

This was no different from his own design, nothing more than adding circuit wiring, water pipe wiring, heating wiring, sewage discharge, etc.

House renovation is a very large and troublesome project, and it must be handed over to professional construction personnel to do.

Seeing Li Xuewu nod, Master Dou took out the design drawing of the West Courtyard.

It was very simple: build five large brick-stone warehouses along the due north, with one basement level and one ground level.

On the east and west sides, build a row of simple warehouses along the wall, using brick-stone pillars, brick-earth walls, wooden beams, bamboo curtains, and reed grass for the roof, paved with tiles, with a structure that opens doors on one side.

Because there was only one ground level, there was no need to consider the heating problem, as long as it was sun-proof, wind-proof, rain-proof, and moisture-proof.

Rebuild the house at the location of the original inverted room, just by tearing down the outer wall to make a storefront, because the recycling of waste goods was now done in the business room.

Li Xuewu had planned it: temporarily enable two storefront rooms as the acquisition hall, white-washed, brick-cement bar counter, install a small scale indoors, and hang some slogans. Anyway, it was to be renovated according to the characteristics of this era. Whatever others look like, I look like. Absolutely not to be unconventional.

The north room as a heated warehouse, the east and west wing rooms as ordinary warehouses, and the middle venue as an open-air accumulation yard.

As simple as it can be, as simple as it should be. ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
