Chapter 229 Call the Police
Yi Zhonghai sat in the corner of the ward, weighing the options again and again in his mind.
He knew very well that this incident was beyond his ability to handle. The strange wounds and the vague circumstances of the crime were all like a fog that shrouded everyone.
The last time there was a disturbance in the courtyard, he was dismissed because he failed to report it in time. That experience was like a deep scar engraved in his heart.
Now, facing a similar dilemma again, he couldn't help but wonder, if he took the initiative to call the police this time and actively assisted the police in finding out the truth, would he have a chance to win back everyone's trust and restore his position as a big boss?
His heart was like a battlefield, with two ideas fighting fiercely.
On the one hand, he longed to restore his status and prestige; on the other hand, he was worried that he would fall into trouble again and be unable to extricate himself.
He sat in the ward, his brows furrowed, his heart shrouded in deep worry.
His eyes moved back and forth between the unconscious Sha Zhu and the seemingly calm Xu Damao. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to unravel the mystery, he had to rely on the power of the police.
Finally, Yi Zhonghai slowly stood up, with a look of determination in his eyes.
He said to Xu Damao and the auntie, "This matter is too strange. It's no use just trying to figure it out here. After much thought, I think we should call the police and let the police handle it. Only they have the professional means and experience to get to the bottom of this matter."
His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was announcing his decision to Xu Damao and Auntie.
Xu Damao's face was slightly moved, but he quickly regained his composure. "Uncle is right, we really need to call the police, otherwise it will be hard to find out the truth."
There was a hint of approval in his tone, but the panic in his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao, wondering whether this guy was sincere or just playing tricks on him.
But no matter what the reason is, call the police first.
However, he was worried that Xu Damao would make some move or escape while he was away to call the police.
After thinking for a while, Yi Zhonghai slowly stood up, walked to the aunt, patted her shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Chunlan, you have been guarding here for so long, you must be exhausted. There are too many strange things in this matter. After thinking about it, I think we have to call the police. But I really can't leave Sha Zhu now. I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, it will cause more trouble."
His voice was soft and concerned, his eyes were full of pity and understanding for the old lady, but also revealed a hint of firmness and determination.
The lady raised her tired and worried eyes and looked at Yi Zhonghai. Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked haggard. She asked, "What should we do? We can't just let this go on like this."
There was a hint of helplessness and confusion in her eyes, and she was eagerly waiting for Yi Zhonghai to give her guidance and answers.
Yi Zhonghai looked at her firmly and said, "Chunlan, go back to the courtyard and have a rest. On the way back, go to our street's public security management office to report a case. Tell the police comrades what happened to Sha Zhu, and say that we suspect this is not an accident. Xu Damao's behavior is very suspicious. Ask them to send someone to investigate as soon as possible. Don't worry, I'll be here to guard it. I'll notify you immediately if anything happens."
His eyes were full of expectation and trust, as if he was placing all his hopes on the old lady.
The aunt was a little hesitant. She looked at Sha Zhu lying on the bed and said distressedly, "What will happen to Sha Zhu if I leave? I'm worried about him."
Yi Zhonghai comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm here. Go and come back quickly. This is the only way to find out the truth right now."
There was a hint of comfort and encouragement in his voice, trying to make the old lady put her worries aside.
The lady gritted her teeth, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go right away. You must keep an eye on Sha Zhu."
There was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she was mustering up courage for Sha Zhu.
Yi Zhonghai nodded solemnly and watched the old lady leave the ward.
He sat back in his chair, his eyes never leaving Xu Damao, but Xu Damao seemed unaware of the impending crisis. He continued to pace in the ward pretending to be calm, stealing a glance at Sha Zhu from time to time, but beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.
An old lady hurried out of the hospital and rushed to the Nanluoguxiang Police Station in a panic.
Along the way, her mind kept recalling the tragic condition of Sha Zhu's injury and Yi Zhonghai's solemn expression, and her steps became more and more hurried.
Arriving at the police station, the aunt walked straight to the officer on duty and said anxiously: "Comrade police, I want to report a case. Shazhu from our courtyard was murdered and is now in a coma in the hospital."
There was a hint of trembling and anxiety in her voice, and her eyes were full of fear and uneasiness.
The policeman quickly stood up, helped the old lady sit down, and comforted her: "Auntie, don't worry, tell me slowly. What happened specifically?"
The police officer's voice was gentle and kind, trying to calm the old lady down.
The auntie calmed down and told the whole story: "Last night, Sha Zhu drank with several people in the courtyard, including Xu Damao. Later, everyone was drunk, so I sent the uncles in the courtyard home. But when we went to look for Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, we found that Sha Zhu had been bitten by the dog several times, especially... especially his penis was bitten off in half. That scene was so scary."
The police officer frowned, his expression became serious, and he quickly recorded the key information.
"Now this guy called Shazhu, what's his full name?"
"My full name is He Yuzhu."
"So where is he now?"
The lady wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Shazhu is in the hospital now. The doctor said his condition is extremely critical. No one knows whether he can wake up. My husband, Lao Yi, is watching over him in the hospital. He thinks this is too strange and it must not be an accident, so he asked me to call the police. I hope the police can investigate thoroughly and give Shazhu justice."
The police officer stopped writing and asked, "Auntie, which hospital is that?"
The lady quickly replied, "It's in our People's Hospital. Sha Zhu is in the surgical ward 504."
After recording the information again, the police officer raised his head, with a look of scrutiny in his eyes, and asked, "Auntie, how do Xu Damao and Sha Zhu get along with each other? Are there any conflicts between them?"
Her words were full of helplessness and sadness, as if she was telling a nightmare.
The police officer carefully recorded the information while asking, "Auntie, what is the relationship between Xu Damao and Sha Zhu like? Are there any conflicts?"
There was a hint of scrutiny in the policeman's eyes, as if he was looking for a breakthrough in the case.
The aunt frowned and said, "They always quarrel with each other. Xu Damao is narrow-minded. He was beaten up by Sha Zhu before, and then had one of his testicles removed. Yesterday, he suddenly said he wanted to reconcile, and then he drank a lot and became like this. Who could have thought that something like this would happen?"
There was a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in her eyes, as if she was condemning Xu Damao's actions.
The police nodded and continued to ask: "Did you find anything suspicious or hear any unusual noises?"
The police officer's eyes were full of expectation, hoping that the old lady could provide some useful clues.
The aunt shook her head and said, "I was just busy sending people home and didn't notice anything special. Later, Cao Wei from our compound came to tell us that Sha Zhu was in trouble. When we rushed over, we only saw Sha Zhu lying in a pool of blood and Xu Damao was drunk beside him."
There was a hint of helplessness and confusion in her eyes, as if she was blaming herself for not finding any clues.
After the police learned the basic situation, they said, "Okay, Auntie, you can go back first. We will send someone to the hospital to investigate immediately and notify you as soon as we have any news."
There was a hint of comfort and promise in the police officer's voice, trying to reassure the old lady.
The lady looked at the police gratefully and said, "Thank you, police comrades. You must catch the murderer as soon as possible and give Sha Zhu justice."
Her eyes were full of expectation and hope, as if she was placing all her trust in the police.
After saying that, the old lady left the police station, her steps slightly faster than when she came. She prayed silently in her heart that the police would be able to solve the case as soon as possible and that Sha Zhu would be safe.
There was a hint of relief and peace of mind in her eyes, as if she was happy that she had done the right thing.
