Ever since Wang Haichao and the others were arrested, Liu Cuilan couldn't stand the sight of the police. Her calves would cramp up just seeing someone in uniform.
All these messy accounts of their Wang family were all caused by Zhou Zhijun!
If he hadn't meddled and gone to the police station to complain, would Wang Haichao have been arrested? Would she have lost her baby? Would that slut Li Chuntao have left?
The more Liu Cuilan thought about it, the angrier she got. Her chest felt tight, and her stomach swelled with rage.
The fear of the police she had just felt was completely suppressed by this evil fire.
She didn't follow the police's lead, but instead shouted with a crying tone, "Comrade police, I want to report!
Someone seduced my daughter-in-law and forced her to divorce! Does this count as hooliganism..."
"Is this Wang Jieshi's house?" A policeman cleared his throat and interrupted her stiffly.
The other one also spoke up, "We'll talk about what you want to report later. We need to find Wang Jieshi to understand some situations first!"
Li Dazhuang also came over, with a smile piled on his face, "Comrade police, what... what's the matter?"
"We are looking for Wang Jieshi to ask some questions!" The policeman was concise.
Wang Jieshi was approved to serve his sentence outside prison by the police station, and he had to report his thoughts to the station once a month.
It hasn't even been a month yet, why did the police come to the door? Liu Cuilan's heart was beating wildly.
But on second thought, she still had to report Zhou Zhijun later, so she suppressed her panic and led the police to Wang Jieshi's room.
Wang Jieshi also heard the voices outside, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping soundly.
"Wang Jieshi!" The policeman walked in, the light of his flashlight shining on his face.
Raising his voice, he said, "You instigated Wang Haihu and Wang Haibao to put up big-character posters at the gate of the commune compound to frame others, which has constituted the crime of rumor-mongering and slander! Plus the crimes you committed before..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Jieshi suddenly opened his eyes, veins bulging on his neck, and roared hoarsely, "Nonsense! I'm paralyzed in bed every day, I can't even move, how could I instigate others?"
"Wang Haihu has confessed everything! You made a mistake yourself, but you held a grudge against others, instigated Wang Haihu to write big-character posters, framed Zhou Zhijun and Li Chuntao, and ruined their reputations! This is adding crime to crime!"
Liu Cuilan was dumbfounded. When she recovered, she immediately retorted, "Comrade police, Zhou Zhijun and Li Chuntao are just having an illicit affair, this is a sure thing!
My son is paralyzed in bed and needs someone to serve him. She, on the other hand, not only doesn't serve him, but lives in Zhou Zhijun's house! If this isn't an illicit affair, what is?
If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see right now! She is living in Zhou Zhijun's house..."
"Enough!" The policeman interrupted her impatiently, "You say they are having an illicit affair, what evidence do you have?"
"Evidence?" Liu Cuilan's eyes were red with anxiety, "She doesn't live in her own house, but lives in the old bachelor's house every day! What else could she be doing besides having an illicit affair? I'll take you to see right now!"
The two policemen looked at each other, both showing some doubt on their faces, "Is what you said true?"
"Absolutely true! If I have a half-word of lie, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!" Liu Cuilan raised her hand and swore an oath.
Li Dazhuang on the side also hurried over to help, "Comrade police, Li Chuntao is my sister, I know her temper best.
She has been shy since she was a child, and her courage is smaller than the tip of a needle. It must be Zhou Zhijun who forced her!
Zhou Zhijun is very unreasonable. I wanted to bring my sister back, but I didn't have the guts.
Comrade police, I beg you, save my sister back and let her live a good life with my brother-in-law!"
The more the two policemen listened, the more they felt that there was something fishy about this matter. One policeman said, "Let's go! Go to Zhou Zhijun's house and see what's going on!"
Along with these two policemen came Deputy Chief Wang, the deputy chief of the police station.
At this moment, Deputy Chief Wang was sitting in the main room of Zhou Zhijun's house, telling him in detail what happened last night.
In the afternoon yesterday, Wang Haihu and Wang Hailong made up a lie and told Liu Cuilan that they were going to help their uncle with work and wouldn't be back at night.
In fact, they went to Qingshan Street.
In the middle of the night, the two of them carried a stack of red paper and put it up on the door of the commune compound in the dark.
Unexpectedly, just after putting up a few sheets, they were caught red-handed by the patrolling joint defense team members.
The words written on the red paper were all filthy words slandering Zhou Zhijun and Li Chuntao for having an illicit affair, which were unbearable to read.
The joint defense team interrogated them overnight, but the two gritted their teeth and said that what was written on the paper was all true.
This was during the "Strike Hard" period, and "having an illicit affair" was determined as hooliganism, which was a serious crime.
The joint defense team dared not neglect it and immediately reported the matter to Deputy Chief Wang.
Deputy Chief Wang also knew Zhou Zhijun and knew that Zhou Zhijun had an upright temper, couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, and had offended many people in his daily life.
Knowing that Wang Haihu and Wang Hailong were actually Wang Haichao's biological brothers, he immediately understood.
These two boys were clearly deliberately framing Zhou Zhijun for personal revenge.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to continue the interrogation, but the two of them were very stubborn and insisted that they didn't frame anyone.
How could Deputy Chief Wang believe it? He personally interrogated them the next day.
In just a few words, he scared the two boys who had never seen the world so much that they peed in their pants and gave in on the spot.
"It was Wang Jieshi who told us to do this..." Wang Haihu cried with a sad face and confessed the whole story in detail.
That day, when Liu Cuilan and Wang Xiaoming were arguing fiercely outside the ward, Wang Jieshi told Wang Haihu this vicious plan.
"You go buy two stacks of red paper, find someone who can write, and write down all the scandalous things about Zhou Zhijun and Li Chuntao one by one!
Just say that they have long been engaged in an illicit affair, and it was their conspiracy that sent me to prison!"
Wang Jieshi paused, "After writing, you take advantage of the middle of the night when no one is around, and stick these papers on the gate of the commune and the walls on both sides of the street!
I want everyone in the commune to know that they are not good things!
Make Li Chuntao unable to lift her head for the rest of her life, and let Zhou Zhijun go to jail and be sentenced to hooliganism! Let them never turn over!"
"And!" Wang Jieshi panted heavily and added viciously, "You make another trip to my house and bring the cloth bag I hid under the bed.
Inside is a piece of Li Chuntao's intimate clothing. You stick the clothing together with those dirty words! Let everyone see that she is an unfaithful slut!"
...
When Deputy Chief Wang heard this, he roared, "Wang Haihu! Wang Jieshi's blatant rumor-mongering and slander, you are an accomplice!
If this matter is investigated deeply, you will also have to go to jail and be severely punished by the law!"
"Comrade police, I really didn't know this was breaking the law!"
When Wang Haihu heard the words "go to jail", his calves immediately went soft, and he plopped down and wanted to kneel, crying and begging.
"I was just confused for a moment, it was all that bastard Wang Jieshi who instigated me to do it..."
The case has come to light here.
The big-character posters put up by Wang Haihu and Wang Hailong were entirely planned by Wang Jieshi. The matter of Zhou Zhijun and Li Chuntao having an illicit affair was purely fictitious.
Wang Jieshi already bore guilt, and now he is still unrepentant and even intensified his framing of others. It is simply adding crime to crime.
Deputy Chief Wang immediately took two police officers and headed straight for Wangjiazhai.
He specifically instructed his two subordinates to go to Wang Jieshi's house first for questioning, while he took a detour to Zhou Zhijun's house to explain the ins and outs of the whole situation to him clearly.
After explaining the entire sequence of events, Deputy Chief Wang picked up his mug, took a sip of cold tea, and sighed heavily. "Thank goodness the joint defense team caught the two of them that very night.
If they had been even one step later and those big-character posters had been spread around, you and Li Chuntao would undoubtedly have been taken in for investigation, and you would have been in massive trouble!
From now on, you need to keep your guard up. Don't let people with ulterior motives take advantage of any loopholes!"
Just as he was speaking, a flurry of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate, followed immediately by Liu Cuilan's shrill shout.
"It's right here! Look, comrade police officers, Li Chuntao is in his house!
A woman living in a bachelor's house—if she isn't a loose woman, what is she?"
