Chapter 74 Report
Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears and cried so hard that she was out of breath.
The doctor just said that Zhou Huaihai would need to stay on the bed for at least half a year to fully recover.
Just being unconscious will last for four or five days.
It was all the fault of that piece of paper!
Without that piece of paper, how could there be such nonsense!
"Dad, the top priority is that we should get that piece of paper back quickly, otherwise we will be controlled by them everywhere in the future, and Brother Yuan will also be affected."
Mrs. Sun cried: "Yes, take that piece of paper back!"
Mr. Zhou sat there with a dark face and clenched his fists tightly, "I'll think about this carefully."
"What else are you thinking about? After all this, you are still thinking about that evil!" Mrs. Sun suddenly roared.
Mr. Zhou glared at Mrs. Sun angrily, "If you don't want to think about it, might it be self-defeating again?"
"What does it mean to be self-defeating? Are you blaming Haizi? Haizi has become like this, and you still blame him. Why are you so cruel! If it weren't for that little beast, Haizi would be like this!"
Mr. Zhou made Mr. Sun so noisy that his brain hurt.
Huo De stood up and looked at Sun with a livid face.
"You have a way. Go and get the paper back now! If you can't get it back, just shut up! If you are so noisy, can the paper fly back by itself?"
When Mr. Zhou roared, Mrs. Sun shut up even though she was furious.
I just sat there and cried.
Mr. Zhou sighed heavily.
"I will discuss this matter with Haizi when he wakes up. Right now, the most important thing is Haizi's health. Boss and wife, you must take good care of him and don't cause any disease."
Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears and said, "I understand, Dad."
Mr. Zhou glanced at Zhou Huaihai and went out with a sullen expression, hands behind his back.
Seeing that Mr. Zhou was leaving, Mrs. Sun hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
Mr. Zhou didn't look back and said angrily: "County government."
County government residence.
The county magistrate was listening to his subordinates report that Zhou Huaihai had been beaten, and word spread outside that Zhou Bingde was asking for a meeting.
The county magistrate politely invited Mr. Zhou in and served tea himself.
Being treated like this in the county magistrate's mansion, Mr. Zhou's anger dissipated a little.
Sitting at the table uneasily, rubbing his hands on his thighs, not knowing how to speak, he just looked down at the tea leaves in the cup.
The county magistrate looked at Mr. Zhou with a well-placed smile on his lips.
"I have heard about Zhou Huaihai. Bandits have not been seen in Qinghe County for a hundred years. I didn't expect that something like this happened in broad daylight this time. I will definitely investigate it strictly."
Hearing the county magistrate's words, Mr. Zhou raised his head with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
"Bandits?"
The magistrate nodded.
"I heard from the people outside that Zhou Huaihai was robbed by bandits. Don't worry, I will do it."
Before the county magistrate could finish his words, Mr. Zhou waved his hands in a panic.
"No, no, not bandits, no."
There was an inexplicable uneasiness in his cloudy eyes, and his mouth was a little dry.
"no?"
With a deep embarrassment on his face, Mr. Zhou met the county magistrate's gaze, took a deep breath, and sighed slowly.
With that sigh, his shoulders slumped, as if he had finally made a choice.
"The one who beat Huaihai was Zhou Qing, the daughter of my second son. My second son is the leader of the case this time, Zhou Huaishan."
The county magistrate was immediately stunned.
Zhou Huaishan’s daughter?
Mr. Zhou lowered his head and stared at the tea in the cup.
The county magistrate stared at Mr. Zhou, wondering what the old man's purpose was.
After a long silence, Mr. Zhou said again: "Can I ask you something?"
"You say."
"You captured my second son and granddaughter and just locked them up for a year and a half. Don't take their lives."
County magistrate
With a twitch in the corner of his eye, the county magistrate said to Mr. Zhou: "Caught Zhou Huaishan and his daughter?"
Mr. Zhou nodded, "Just arrest him, don't behead him."
The county magistrate hurriedly asked: "Did you misunderstand something? How could I arrest Zhou Huaishan?"
Mr. Zhou suddenly raised his head and looked at the county magistrate.
"Didn't I just say that the one who beat Huaihai this time was Huaishan's daughter."
"Do you have evidence?"
Mr. Zhou didn't seem to understand what he meant, and looked at the county magistrate blankly and with a hint of surprise.
"evidence?"
The county magistrate said: "To solve a case, we should pay attention to the motive and method of committing the crime, and also pay attention to the witnesses and material evidence."
Mr. Zhou came to his senses now and gave a wry smile.
"I asked the injured nursing homes, and what they said can't be wrong."
The county magistrate smiled and shook his head, "Those nursing homes belong to your family. They cannot be used as witnesses. In other words, they are not sufficient witnesses."
Mr. Zhou looked at the county magistrate with wide eyes and a look of disbelief on his face, "It was Zhou Qing who beat Huaihai!"
The county magistrate said: "As far as I know, the place where Zhou Huaihai's accident happened was in Mao'er Hutong. At the time of the accident, there were nine strong guards around him. Even if Zhou Qing beat Zhou Huaihai, why did Zhou Huaihai bring so many people there? Where?"
Mr. Zhou's face suddenly turned red.
Why!
To get that piece of paper back, of course.
But who would have thought.
Looking at Mr. Zhou's face, the county magistrate had a rough guess in his mind.
"You said it was Zhou Qing who beat Zhou Huaihai, but you have to give me a reason for Zhou Qing to appear at the scene.
After all, except for your nursing home, no one can prove that Zhou Qing was there.
This officer has already checked this point. "
Mr. Zhou opened his mouth and held it in for a long time before he said, "No one saw it?"
The county magistrate nodded, "No."
After a pause, the county magistrate said, "If you are sure that Zhou Qing did it, if there is really no witness, I can also arrest people if I find physical evidence."
He said this as if he was on Mr. Zhou's side.
Mr. Zhou's expression really eased slightly.
"Physical evidence?" He looked at the county magistrate and thought hard, "Zhou Qing took a silver note of one thousand taels from Huaihai at that time."
The county magistrate said, "But no one else saw this silver note. Unless we find this silver note in Zhou Qing's place, it cannot be considered as physical evidence."
"Then go and search!" Mr. Zhou followed.
The county magistrate looked at him deeply.
This look made Mr. Zhou's back a little tingling.
"She is the murderer after all."
The county magistrate snorted in his heart.
"It's not difficult to send people to search for Zhou Qing, but you have to think it through. Good news doesn't go out, but bad news spreads a thousand miles. If this matter spreads to Kyoto, I'm afraid it will not be good for Zhou Yuan."
Mr. Zhou was stunned and looked at the county magistrate in astonishment.
The county magistrate said: "I heard that Zhou Huaihai gave Zhou Qing three hundred taels of silver at the tea shop at the city gate today for a letter of promise. I'm afraid this matter will not be good for Zhou Yuan."
Hearing the word "letter of promise", Mr. Zhou's heart skipped a beat.
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate also knew about the letter of promise.
Mr. Zhou sighed heavily, his face full of fatigue and pain.
The county magistrate looked at Mr. Zhou's expression and said: "No matter whether the silver note can be found from Zhou Qing, the matter of the letter of promise will be a hot topic because of the search. You should think it through."
