Chapter 535: At least twenty years in prison!
When Sha Zhu heard Jia Dongming's answer and learned that He Daqing had indeed sent money to them, he suddenly showed an incredible expression on his face and asked Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! How is this possible? If He Daqing really left us money and a job introduction letter, and sent us money every month, we wouldn't have to rely on picking up garbage to fill our stomachs during the two years when He Daqing was gone."
Jia Dongming knew the truth of the matter, but some things are better left unsaid. Seeing Sha Zhu's unbelievable expression, Jia Dongming smiled and said to him, "Zhuzi! What's true can't be false, and what's false can't be true. Did He Daqing send you money? You'll know when the anti-special brigade arrives."
Sha Zhu always believed that He Daqing was an irresponsible father who abandoned his family. However, he only found out now that He Daqing did not ignore him and his sister, and even sent them living expenses every month. This news undoubtedly had a huge impact on Sha Zhu, and he was unable to react for a long time.
Seeing Sha Zhu's dazed look, Jia Dongming first picked up the teacup and made a cup of tea for Sha Zhu. Then he smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! The comrades from the branch office should be here soon. Please sit here for a while."
About ten minutes later, Zhou Bo led a police officer into Jia Dongming's office. When they saw Jia Dongming standing up from his desk, they saluted him and said respectfully, "Hello, Deputy Commander!"
When Jia Dongming saw the two people saluting him, he saluted them back first, and then introduced them to the two people: "Zhou Bo! Qiu Hua! This is He Daqing's son, Comrade He Yuzhu. Before you arrived just now, I had already consulted Comrade He Yuzhu to understand the situation. Over the years, he has never received money or letters from He Daqing, let alone the money and job introduction letter that He Daqing left for him before he left."
The reason why Zhou Bo and Qiu Hua came so late was mainly because before coming to the steel rolling mill, they went directly to the post office and retrieved He Daqing's remittance records and the recipient's information from the post office.
After hearing Jia Dongming's introduction, Zhou Bo saw Sha Zhu standing up from the sofa and immediately asked him, "Comrade He Yuzhu! Do you know a man named Yi Zhonghai?"
When Sha Zhu heard Zhou Bo mention Yi Zhonghai, he introduced him to Zhou Bo without thinking: "Comrade Gong'an! Yi Zhonghai is a great uncle in our compound. He lives next door to us. He usually takes good care of us brothers and sisters. But why did you suddenly mention Yi Zhonghai?"
When Zhou Bo heard Sha Zhu's answer and saw that Sha Zhu mentioned Yi Zhonghai, he unconsciously showed awe on his face. He then took out the signature for the payment they had just retrieved from the post office from his briefcase and introduced it to Sha Zhu in a serious manner: "Comrade He Yuzhu! Just now on the way to the steel mill, we made a detour to the post office in Jiaodaokou. This is the receipt we retrieved from the post office. It shows that the recipients of the payment over the years are all this person named Yi Zhonghai."
When Sha Zhu heard the news Zhou Bo told him, and thought about Yi Zhonghai's character, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He blurted out to Zhou Bo for confirmation: "Comrade Public Security! What are you saying? The person who took away my living expenses was Uncle Yi Zhonghai? How is this possible?"
When Zhou Bo heard Sha Zhu's question and saw Sha Zhu's incredulous expression, he nodded very affirmatively and replied, "Comrade He Yuzhu! This is absolutely true. We specifically looked for the postman who was responsible for delivering letters. According to the information the postman told us, Yi Zhonghai told him that when He Daqing left, he specifically entrusted him to take care of you two siblings. And you two siblings should go to work or class, so he will collect the money for you first, and then hand it over to you when you come back."
Although Sha Zhu's name is Sha Zhu, he is not stupid at all. After hearing Zhou Bo's introduction, he immediately understood the whole story.
In Sha Zhu's mind, Yi Zhonghai holds the same status as He Daqing, but he never imagined that Yi Zhonghai would embezzle their living expenses. Thinking of the two years of picking up garbage, Sha Zhu's heart suddenly surged with anger, and he angrily said, "Yi Zhonghai, that damn old loser! He actually plotted against me, I'm going to find him." Sha Zhu was a man of unscrupulous character. When Jia Dongming saw that Sha Zhu was going to settle accounts with Yi Zhonghai, he immediately reached out and grabbed Sha Zhu, and reminded Sha Zhu, whose face was flushed, "Zhuzi! What problem can you solve by beating up Yi Zhonghai? Besides, you are on the right side now. If you beat up Yi Zhonghai, you will become unreasonable."
To Sha Zhu, Jia Dongming was the most capable young man in the courtyard. He listened to Jia Dongming's words to some extent. Facing Jia Dongming's persuasion, Sha Zhu asked him unwillingly, "Brother Dongming! Are you just going to let me let that black-hearted old man go like this?"
When Jia Dongming heard Sha Zhu's words and saw his unwilling expression, he smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! Aren't the comrades from the branch office still here? With the comrades from the branch office intervening, are you still afraid that you won't be able to retaliate?"
When Sha Zhu heard what Jia Dongming said, he became obviously hesitant, because Yi Zhonghai has been teaching him over the years that matters within the hospital should be resolved within the hospital, so why bother the police?
Zhou Bo was very confused when he saw Sha Zhu's hesitant expression. He said to him seriously, "Comrade He Yuzhu! According to the evidence we have so far, Yi Zhonghai has indeed committed the crime of withholding letters and embezzling your living expenses."
"Now if you plan to report the case, we will officially take over the investigation of this case. If you don't want to report the case, then we will go back first, but the post office has already decided to report the case."
After hearing Zhou Bo's introduction, Sha Zhu thought about his interactions with Yi Zhonghai over the years and asked Zhou Bo with a worried look on his face, "Comrade Public Security! If Yi Zhonghai is arrested, how many years will he be sentenced to?"
When Zhou Bo heard Sha Zhu asking about Yi Zhonghai's fate, he introduced him to Sha Zhu in a serious manner: "Comrade He Yuzhu! We in the police department are only responsible for investigating the case. We still have to see the court for the specific verdict. But based on my past experience, based on what Yi Zhonghai did, he will be sentenced to at least 20 years."
After hearing what Zhou Bo had said and learning that Yi Zhonghai would be sentenced to twenty years in prison, Sha Zhu again showed a hesitant expression on his face. He turned to Jia Dongming and asked, "Brother Dongming! How do you think we should deal with this matter?"
