Chapter 373 Caught
The White Widow's face turned pale in an instant. She tried to struggle: "Why did you arrest me? I don't know anything! Let me go... I want to go home..."
But her resistance was futile in the face of the well-trained public security officers. She was quickly subdued and taken away secretly.
At the same time, at the steel rolling mill, Yi Zhonghai received a notice asking him to go to the security department.
Although he was somewhat confused, he did not think much about it. After all, he believed that his position in the steel mill was secure and he had nothing to worry about.
He walked into the security department's office, but found that the people sitting inside were not familiar people, but several public security comrades with stern expressions.
"Yi Zhonghai, you have been arrested. Your multiple crimes have been exposed. Stop struggling in vain."
Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly changed. His eyes widened with horror and disbelief. "Did you make a mistake? I'm innocent! I work honestly in the factory. What have I done wrong?"
But the police did not give him any chance. They handcuffed him, gagged him, covered his head, and quickly took him into the car.
On the other side of the courtyard, Director Wang from the Street Office came to the deaf old lady's house with a smile on his face.
"Old lady, a batch of relief supplies for the five-guarantee households has come down from above, and you need to be present in person to sign. I have come specially to pick you up." Director Wang said kindly.
When the deaf old lady heard that there were gifts, she smiled happily and said, "Oh, the government really cares about me, an old lady. I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip, Xiao Wang."
Then, she stood up tremblingly and followed Director Wang to the street office.
When she arrived at the street office, the deaf old lady found that there were no gifts, but a group of public security comrades were waiting for her.
"What are you trying to do?..." the deaf old lady asked in horror.
"Deaf old lady, you conspired with Yi Zhonghai to harm others' lives. Your crime has been exposed. Come with us."
The deaf old lady's body began to tremble violently. She tried to call for help, but no one could save her at this time.
She looked around desperately, her eyes filled with fear, but was finally taken away.
In the slightly dim interrogation room of the Sijiucheng Public Security Bureau, the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless.
Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were brought in separately, with a trace of fear and anxiety still on their faces.
Director Wei stood outside the observation window of the interrogation room, his eyes cold and determined. He knew very well that these two people were the key to uncovering the entire dark conspiracy and they could not afford to lose.
He whispered a few words to the interrogator beside him, and the interrogation officially began.
The person responsible for interrogating Yi Zhonghai was the experienced Zhang Yongnian.
He sat opposite Yi Zhonghai, staring at him with a sharp gaze, and slowly said: "Yi Zhonghai, you should know why you are here. Now if you confess your crimes honestly, you can still try to get a lighter sentence."
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yi Zhonghai's forehead. His eyes flickered as he tried to argue: "Comrade Public Security, I really don't know what you are talking about. I have always been an honest worker. How could I have committed a crime?"
Zhang Yongnian sneered, "Yi Zhonghai, do you think you can get away with it by not admitting it? Since we dare to arrest you, we already have some substantial evidence. It's not too late for you to confess now."
"You are also aware of our policy. Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. I advise you to confess as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Zhang Yongnian looked over and frightened Yi Zhonghai so much that he trembled all over.
Yi Zhonghai's lips trembled slightly. After a moment of silence, he seemed to have made up his mind and began to confess: "Okay, I...I used to plot against a few people based on the words of the deaf old lady, but those things were all led by her. I was just forced to participate."
Zhang Yongnian frowned. "Forced? Tell us the details clearly and don't try to shirk responsibility."
Yi Zhonghai licked his cracked lips and said, "Back then, it was the deaf old lady who wanted me to take care of her in her old age..."
In another interrogation room, the deaf old lady faced the interrogation in a different way.
Li Jianshe looked at her and said seriously, "Old lady, don't be so optimistic. Tell me everything you know."
The deaf old lady just closed her eyes and said nothing.
But no matter how Li Jianshe asked, she remained unresponsive like a stone statue.
After the interrogation, Zhang Yongnian reported to Director Wei: "Director, Yi Zhonghai confessed some of the circumstances, but he pushed most of the responsibility onto the deaf old lady. This old fox is obviously trying to protect himself."
Director Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Let's first organize his confession and see if we can find a breakthrough from other aspects. The deaf old lady is stubborn, so we have to think of other ways to start."
The next morning, Widow Bai and He Daqing were taken back to the Sijiucheng Public Security Bureau by Liu Yang.
The White Widow's face was pale, and her eyes were full of fatigue and despair.
In the interrogation room, Zhang Yongnian looked at Bai Guafu and said, "Bai Guafu, you know your situation. Now tell us in detail how you and Yi Zhonghai conspired to deceive He Daqing."
Widow Bai sighed, knowing that she was powerless to change the situation. Finally, she slowly said, "Back then, I received a letter from my aunt. The deaf old lady was my distant aunt. She said there was an opportunity for me to live a good life. She told me to go to Sijiu City to seduce He Daqing, and she would give me a sum of money after the success. I was bewitched at the time, so I did as she said."
Zhang Yongnian continued to ask: "What happened after that? Is there anything else?"
Widow Bai shook her head: "I only know these things. They are behind the scenes in other matters. I don't know much about them. Besides, I have brought He Daqing to Baocheng, so of course I have to live a good life with him..."
After Chief Wei learned of Widow Bai's confession, he realized that it would be extremely difficult to find out the person behind the deaf old lady.
At this time, Liu Yang suggested starting the investigation from the post office, because when the Jiaodaokou Police Station was investigating the case before, the clues involved the post office.
At this point the case was at a stalemate and the public security comrades had no choice but to give it a try.
Inside the post office, the atmosphere was equally tense.
All the staff in the post office were brought in for interrogation one by one.
After the post office leaders learned about this matter, they attached great importance to it and personally went to the interrogation site to supervise.
Moreover, he also bluntly stated that if the person voluntarily admitted his mistake, he would be given a chance to correct it. If he was finally discovered by the public security bureau, he would be directly fired.
Faced with such a serious situation, few people would not panic.
In this way, Liu Yang and his team interrogated the employees one by one, and most of the post office employees said they had no knowledge of the matter.
It wasn't until a director was brought in with panic in his eyes that Liu Yang knew there was a breakthrough.
Liu Yang stared at him and threatened, "You'd better tell the truth. We have been investigating for a long time. You can't get away."
The director's body began to tremble, and without much effort he directly named the person who gave the instructions behind the scenes.
"I... I only know that a district chief seems to be related to this matter, but I really don't know the details. I just gave him a favor and helped him a small favor..."
Liu Yang was delighted and asked loudly, "Which district chief? Please tell me the name clearly."
The director whispered, "It's District Chief Wang from the South District."
After receiving this news, Director Wei immediately ordered: "Act quickly and arrest District Chief Wang. Don't let him have a chance to escape."
The police attacked as quickly as cheetahs and soon captured District Chief Wang.
Faced with the irrefutable evidence, District Chief Wang had to explain his relationship with the deaf old lady and the crimes he had committed on her behalf.
With the arrest of District Chief Wang, the puzzle of the whole case was finally complete and the truth was revealed to the world.
