A little madman moved into the courtyard house next door.

While everyone waited quietly, the local police officer Luo Yingjun arrived with two other officers.

Looking at the densely packed crowd in the courtyard, Luo Yingjun felt a chill run down his spine. He said, "The police are handling a case. All irrelevant personnel should disperse and go home to rest."

Xiao Sanfeng said, "Officer Luo, everyone here is a party involved and a witness. There's no need to disperse them."

"Comrade Xiao Sanfeng, what do you want to do?"

"Officer Luo, rest assured, I am a law-abiding citizen and do not do anything illegal. I have invited you here to be witnesses and to take statements. Please record what you have heard and seen tonight."

"Comrade Xiao Sanfeng, your request is valid. We can support it."

Xiao Sanfeng loudly addressed everyone: "Everyone, what Yi Zhonghai did in public this morning is already common knowledge throughout the dozen or so alleys of Nanluoguxiang."

"Yi Zhonghai went to the police station again in the evening to report me for kidnapping him, and also said that I impersonated him to do what he did in the morning."

"So I and my neighbors came over to reason with Yi Zhonghai."

"Everyone, I was once paralyzed for five years because I couldn't walk. I saw many doctors, including traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, Western medicine doctors, and folk healers. I've seen a lot and become quite knowledgeable through my long illness."

"Based on my experience, Yi Zhonghai has developed a mental illness, or what is commonly known as madness."

Yi Zhonghai angrily said, "Xiao Sanfeng, you're talking nonsense. You're the one who's mentally ill."

Xiao Sanfeng continued, "A person who has a mental illness will definitely not admit that he has a mental illness in normal times."

"But when he has an episode, he gets angry, goes crazy, talks nonsense, and hits people..."

"Now, I will analyze what I heard today, along with Yi Zhonghai's false accusations against me, for everyone to see."

"Qin Huairu, I have a question for you. You just said that Yi Zhonghai forced you to go to the cellar, is that true?"

For the sake of her reputation, would Qin Huairu dare to say otherwise? She said, "Yes, Yi Zhonghai threatened me, saying that if I didn't go to the cellar, he would beat my man. I was afraid he would beat my man again like he did this morning, so I was forced to go to the cellar with him."

Xiao Sanfeng turned to Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Yi Zhonghai, tell me, were you consciously forcing Qin Huairu, or were you confused and didn't know why you ended up with her in the cellar?"

This is practically a death sentence. If you admit you're conscious, then forcing women to eat peanuts is practically a death sentence.

To say that one is confused is tantamount to admitting to being mentally ill.

Yi Zhonghai was forced to admit that he didn't know why he went to the cellar.

Xiao Sanfeng continued, "Yi Zhonghai has always advocated respecting the elderly and caring for the young, but why did he suddenly attack the deaf old lady? Tsk tsk tsk, everyone, look at her, her face is still swollen!"

"Yi Zhonghai also said that I kidnapped him outside the outhouse in the morning and locked him in a pitch-black place. He was then released outside Nanluoguxiang."

"Think about it, everyone. It's such a long distance from the outhouse to the outside of Nanluoguxiang. How can I turn this place into a pitch-black place during the day?"

"This is entirely Yi Zhonghai's delusion; he's having another episode and talking nonsense."

"Considering what Yi Zhonghai did this morning, these are symptoms of a mental illness!"

Yi Zhonghai roared angrily again, "You're talking nonsense! I'm not sick!"

Xiao Sanfeng laughed and said, "Everyone, look at this, Yi Zhonghai is just having a fit of madness right now."

"Xiao Sanfeng, even if I have a mental illness, that's my own business."

"No, no, no, you're mentally ill. You've already started hitting people. There are so many women, elderly people, and children around here. For the safety of these vulnerable people, we have to send you to a specialized mental health hospital for treatment."

The deaf old woman shouted hoarsely, "Anding Hospital is a notorious madhouse in Beijing. We can't send Zhonghai there."

Xiao Sanfeng said, "Deaf old lady, don't you value your own life and the lives of your neighbors? If Yi Zhonghai isn't sent to the Anding Hospital for treatment, how can the lives of so many women, elderly people, and children be guaranteed?"

Aside from Yi Zhonghai and his wife, which family doesn't have elderly people and children?

Xiao Sanfeng is now using the lives and safety of the elderly and children to bind everyone and force them to make a choice.

If Yi Zhonghai were sent to a mental hospital and locked up with a group of lunatics, it wouldn't be long before they drove him insane.

Lin Jiajie shouted, "We can't let this lunatic live near us!"

Lin Dabing chimed in, "Yes, we must send Yi Zhonghai, that lunatic, to Anding Hospital for treatment."

With the Lin family father and son acting as comedians, the neighbors of courtyard house number 93 all joined in, demanding that Yi Zhonghai be sent to Anding Hospital.

The beasts in courtyard number 95 witnessed Yi Zhonghai's madness firsthand, and they all shouted, "Send Yi Zhonghai to the hospital!"

"I have children at home! We must send Yi Zhonghai to Anding Hospital."

"My daughter is 17 years old this year. If she's forced into marriage by Yi Zhonghai in his madness, how will she ever get married?"

"..."

"..."

Xiao Sanfeng said to Luo Yingjun, "Officer Luo, as you've seen, Yi Zhonghai is currently suffering from a mental illness. Should you take Yi Zhonghai to the Anding Hospital, or should we help take him there?"

Luo Yingjun said, "Don't worry, we will take Yi Zhonghai back to the police station tonight, and we will send him to Anding Hospital for examination and treatment tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai was taken away. Xiao Sanfeng walked up to the deaf old woman and whispered, "Old deaf woman, you lost."

The deaf old lady never expected that Xiao Sanfeng would send Yi Zhong to a mental hospital. Now her only hope is that the Anding Hospital will find nothing wrong.

Unless a disease is detected, the hospital cannot forcibly detain Yi Zhonghai.

Xiao Sanfeng smiled and left the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. His neighbors also left and went back home.

Bao Guifen asked, "Grandma, what should we do now?"

"Guifen, don't you know Zhonghai's health? He'll be back after a check-up tomorrow. Help me back."

"Okay." Bao Guifen helped the deaf old lady towards the backyard.

………………

Yi Zhonghai had never suffered such an injustice before. Ever since he was taken back to the Hongxing Police Station, he has been making a huge fuss and shouting.

"When I go out, I'm an old man from the Hongxing Courtyard, you can't arrest me."

"Officer Luo, I am Yi Zhonghai, a level seven fitter at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

"Officer Luo, I'm telling the truth. I really was kidnapped this morning."

"..."

Yi Zhonghai's loud and disruptive behavior only made the police think he was really mentally ill.

…………

As dawn broke, police officers from the Hongxing Police Station took Yi Zhonghai to Anding Hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the police described Yi Zhonghai's condition. The doctor then began examining him.

Yi Zhonghai shouted at the doctor, "I'm not sick, why are you doing any tests?"

The doctor asked, "According to the information provided by the police, you have always respected the elderly and cared for the young. Why are you hitting an elderly person now?"

"I was framed. I was locked up in a dark place and I didn't hit anyone."

"Sigh, still having hysterical episodes. He definitely has mental problems."

Yi Zhonghai roared angrily, "You're talking nonsense! I'm not sick at all. If you can't diagnose a disease, then get out of here!"

The doctor said to the nurse, "The patient is emotionally unstable; administer a sedative."

After being given a sedative, Yi Zhonghai finally calmed down.

Based on the information provided by the police and Yi Zhonghai's behavior during the examination, the doctor diagnosed him with mental illness and then sent him to a ward and locked him up.
