Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"Keep searching."

Qin Ming only said one sentence, then turned to Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office, who had been standing silently to the side.

"Director Wang, we need to have a serious talk about the annual awards for courtyard house No. 95 and the Lin family's house."

Director Wang's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat; she hadn't expected to be discovered after all.

But the Jia family's child died in the canteen of her neighborhood office, and as the director, she had no choice but to come.

I should have destroyed the body and covered it up.

"Captain Qin, there might be a misunderstanding about this matter. The Lin family rented the house to the Jia, Liu, and Yan families, which was legal, reasonable, and compliant with regulations."

She tried to remain calm.

"Misunderstand?"

Qin Ming pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase. "You accepted bribes from Yi Zhonghai to award them the title of 'Outstanding Civilized Courtyard House,' fifty yuan each time."

They issued false certificates proving that Lin Tian voluntarily rented the house to the Jia, Liu, and Yan families in the courtyard.

You know that an eight-year-old's signature has no legal effect, so you came up with the idea of ​​using the fingerprint of Lin's deceased mother...

Director Wang's face turned pale instantly.

"It's ironic that a courtyard house full of beasts and bandits receives the title of 'Outstanding Civilized Courtyard House' every year."

Director Wang, how dare you help Yi Zhonghai and his gang commit perjury, seize the Lin family's property, murder for profit, and exploit the Lin family's extinct members?

Qin Ming walked up to Director Wang and stared into her eyes: "No one is vouching for the No. 95 courtyard house; this matter cannot be covered up."

Director Wang, confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Tell the truth honestly, or someone else will do it for you.

Director Wang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and fell asleep.

Seeing her actions, Qin Ming snorted coldly and said, "Take her away and interrogate her properly. I'd like to see what other dirty things are going on in this courtyard."

The rest of them were also taken away for questioning and temporarily detained. No one involved with the Lin family will escape.

"Officer, we're innocent! We didn't do anything!"

Xu Damao was the first to jump out, bowing and scraping as he said to Qin Ming and Director Li, "Leaders, leaders, please understand. I really didn't know about the despicable things Yi Zhonghai and his gang did."

I'm just an ordinary resident. These three old men are in charge, and I don't dare to ask them too many questions.

"have no idea?"

Director Li said coldly, "How did the things from the Lin family's house end up in your homes? Did they all fall from the sky? Or were they gifts from the Lin family?"

Xu Damao choked. At that time, Lin Tian was beaten to death after he accidentally framed a chicken thief. He thought that since he had already done it, and everyone else was taking it, if he didn't take it, wouldn't he be excluded from the group?

He just happened to be greedy and took a fancy to Lin's father's watch...

"This...this..."

The third woman, Yang Ruihua, had already panicked. Her legs went weak, and she cried out, "Director Li, Captain Qin, we were just confused for a moment. We were wrong."

"Jiefang, Jiekuang, and Jiedi are all still children; they don't understand anything. They don't know anything. If you want to arrest someone, arrest me instead."

As she spoke, she pushed Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, who were huddled behind her, even further back, as if that would hide them.

Yan Jiekuang, who was pushed to the back by his mother, was younger and had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that he trembled.

Yan Jiedi was so frightened that she burst into tears.

"Daddy! I want Daddy! Mommy... I'm scared... Officer, please don't arrest my mommy, she didn't take anything from anyone... Waaah..."

He Yushui stood at the edge of the crowd, her face deathly pale.

The police officer who invited her over for tea said that her brother, Sha Zhu, had been committing crimes at the police station with Qin Huairu…

Now that the Lin family is mentioned again, she's been eating lavish meals for two days straight...

Qin Ming remained unmoved by the crying and explanations.

He has seen far too many criminals' families use tears and "ignorance" as excuses after the crime.

He took a step forward, his sharp gaze sweeping over Xu Damao, Yang Ruihua, Li Zhaodi, the Yan siblings, He Yushui, and the other residents looming behind them.

"Injustice?"

"Who can prove you are innocent? Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui have been doing this for more than just a day or two. They have seized properties, bullied orphans, plundered inheritances, and even committed murder."

How did Lin Tian's parents die? And why was eight-year-old Lin Tian sent to the crematorium? You must know the answer.

Where were you when they were suffering and driven to despair in the courtyard? What were you doing?

Are they eating up the leftovers of their descendants?

Did you really not see or hear anything?

Or did you see or hear it, but felt it was none of your business, or even... felt you wanted a piece of the pie?

These words struck many people like a whip.

Some people lowered their heads, while others avoided eye contact.

Xu Damao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't dare to utter another word.

"When the Lin family's property was ransacked and all their belongings were taken, everyone lived in the same courtyard; how could they possibly hide it from them?"

"It's too late to say you don't know or that you've been wronged!"

"You don't just know you're wrong, you know you've broken the law and might be in for a beating."

Qin Ming ignored their pale faces and evasive eyes, and issued the order: "Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office is suspected of dereliction of duty, covering up wrongdoing, accepting bribes to frame bad elements among the masses, and may even have participated in sharing the spoils. Take him away and interrogate him thoroughly!"

"As for you, everyone in Courtyard No. 95 is currently a suspect in the case: Xu Damao, Yang Ruihua, Li Zhaodi, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiedi, He Yushui..."

He called out names one by one, and each time a name was called, the person whose name was called would tremble.

"Interrogate them separately and detain them temporarily!"

Qin Ming's voice left no room for argument: "We must find out exactly how many people were involved in the murder of Lin Tian's family in this courtyard, how many knew but failed to report it, and how many betrayed their conscience and profited from it. Not a single one of those involved with the Lin family will escape!"

Yang Ruihua let out a mournful cry, and Li Zhaodi also collapsed.

Xu Damao was sweating profusely with anxiety: "Officer, I will definitely cooperate with the investigation, but detention... this... this has a very bad influence. My father-in-law is Lou Bancheng. Could you please make an exception?"

Lou Bancheng?

A self-proclaimed capitalist who could buy half of Beijing?

Qin Ming gave Xu Damao a deep look. This is a big fish.

"Take them all away and interrogate them thoroughly."

The officers began to systematically ask the people whose names were called to follow them.

As the police officers led him away, Xu Damao tried to turn back to Qin Ming and say, "Captain Qin, I'm reporting! I'm reporting! I know a lot about Yi Zhonghai! He..."

"Once we get to the interrogation room, it'll be your turn to speak," the officer escorting him interrupted.

Yan Jiedi's crying never stopped, and Yang Ruihua was practically being helped along.

Li Zhaodi walked away wiping away tears, muttering, "What a sin! What retribution!"

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang followed silently with their heads down, while He Yushui was the last one.

Just then.

After taking Jia Zhangshi to a small, dark room, the police officer rushed into the lobby in a panic less than three minutes later, shouting, "Something's wrong! Something's wrong! Jia Zhangshi is gone! She's disappeared!"

What?

Everyone was shocked, and a deep fear appeared in their eyes.

Qin Ming snorted coldly and demanded, "What's going on?"

"Captain Qin, I clearly locked Jia Zhangshi in the small dark room, but as soon as I closed the door, I looked up and glanced inside, and she vanished into thin air."

Vanished into thin air again?

It's like encountering a ghost!

tricky!

With such unpredictable methods, can he really catch and find the murderer?

Yi Zhonghai and his group seem to be secretly preparing to exorcise evil spirits. Should we let them try?

Once the evil spirits are eliminated, he can arrest the people involved, pin the blame on Yi Zhonghai for the deaths, and get promoted himself.

Qin Ming, an atheist, was shaken.

Anyway, Yi Zhonghai's crime also carries a death penalty, and the country cannot promote feudal superstition, so this seems to be the best option.

To do it or not to do it?

In the darkness of the corner, Lin Tian's ghostly figure silently observed the expressions on everyone's faces; those desperate looks were quite amusing.

He glanced at Jia Zhangshi, who had been knocked unconscious in the spiritual spring space, and wondered how he could cure this old bastard.

[Host, stop now. There are police everywhere outside. Don't make another mistake.]
