Chapter 223 Yi Zhonghai's Analysis
The early morning sunlight struggled to penetrate the dust on the windows and sprinkled on the floor inside the house, forming patches of light and shadows.
Uncle Yi Zhonghai slowly woke up from a hangover headache. He felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer. He felt dizzy and had unbearable pain.
The headache was like countless needles piercing his brain, causing him excruciating pain.
He tried hard to open his sore eyes, and what came into view was the familiar scene of the room. His thoughts gradually came back to him, and he vaguely remembered that he had toasted with everyone at the table last night, and then he became drunk and lost consciousness.
I guess his wife saw that he was very drunk and took a lot of effort to help him back home.
Yi Zhonghai forced himself to sit up, feeling weak all over. He shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
Then, he put on his shoes, walked to the closet, took out a set of clean clothes and changed into them, muttering as he changed: "This wine, I really can't drink too much, every time I drink it, I suffer this."
After changing his clothes, he habitually crumpled up the dirty clothes and threw them into a corner, muttering to himself, "I'll wash them after my wife comes back."
He left all these chores to an old lady.
At this moment, his stomach started to growl, and Yi Zhonghai realized that he was extremely hungry.
He touched his belly as he walked out of the room and headed for the kitchen, muttering to himself, "It's already so late, why hasn't my wife cooked yet?"
When I walked into the kitchen, I found the stove was cold, the pot was empty, and there was no smell of smoke.
Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but frowned, and shouted in confusion: "Old woman, where are you? Why aren't you cooking?"
However, there was only his echo in the room, and no one responded to him.
Yi Zhonghai was full of doubts. He walked around the house but still couldn't find any sign of his wife.
"Where can we go this early in the morning?"
He muttered as he walked out of the house.
As soon as I went out, I saw a group of people gathered in the yard, chattering about something, and the noise was very noisy.
Yi Zhonghai walked over curiously, patted his neighbor, and asked, "I say, what are you all talking about here so early in the morning?"
The neighbor turned around and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai. He said with a slightly complicated expression, "Uncle, you don't know yet? Something big happened! Sha Zhu went out for a drink last night and was bitten by a dog, and... and it bit him right in the vitals."
Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "What? You said Shazhu was bitten by a dog? How is this possible? Wasn't he fine when we were having dinner last night?"
His eyes were full of shock and confusion, as if he had heard something out of the ordinary.
Another neighbor sighed and said, "Yeah, who would have thought something like this would happen. This idiot Zhu is so unlucky. What's he going to do in the future?"
His voice was full of helplessness and sympathy.
Yi Zhonghai's face turned very ugly, his brows were tightly knitted, his eyes were full of shock and worry, and he muttered to himself: "This silly Zhu is an important figure in our hospital. Although he is a little green and stupid, he has a good heart. After being bitten, the rest of his life will be ruined. Moreover, he has always been my..."
At this point, Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized that he almost let the cat out of the bag, and quickly shut his mouth.
He felt panic in his heart, fearing that his thoughts would be seen through.
A woman nearby asked curiously, "Uncle, what were you about to say? What are you talking about?"
There was a hint of curiosity and inquiry in her eyes.
Yi Zhonghai quickly covered up and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just want to say that with the suffering of Sha Zhu, our courtyard will never be at peace. How did this happen? Does anyone know?"
There was a flash of panic in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
Everyone shook their heads. The wife in the fringe, now the first aunt, said, "We don't know much. We just know that Cao Wei found them outside and Sha Zhu was seriously injured, so he quickly asked us to take Sha Zhu to the hospital. Right now, Aunt Yi is still guarding the hospital. The second aunt and I came back to ask a few uncles to take over, but you are all still sleeping. Now that you are awake, let's go over and take a look."
There was a hint of urgency and concern in her voice.
"This silly Zhu is so pitiful. He lost his mother when he was young, and his father ran away before he reached adulthood. Unexpectedly, he hasn't even found a wife yet, but he's already lost his penis. Tell me, what's going on?"
An old man shook his head and sighed, his eyes full of sympathy for Sha Zhu's life experience and emotion about the fickleness of fate.
After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai became even more worried. He paced back and forth, and his footsteps were like restless drumbeats, hitting the ground.
He thought about the possible consequences of this incident.
On the one hand, he was worried about Sha Zhu's health and future; on the other hand, he was secretly wondering whether his retirement plan would be ruined because of this.
He knew very well that Sha Zhu occupied an important position in his retirement plan. Now that such a big thing had happened to Sha Zhu, his heart was like a bottle of overturned five flavors, with all kinds of feelings mixed together, making him extremely uncomfortable.
His brows furrowed even more tightly, and his eyes were filled with deep worry and confusion.
Knowing that his wife was currently in the hospital taking care of him and that Shazhu's sister had also gone there, Yi Zhonghai was not in a hurry to go there.
Yi Zhonghai stood in the middle of the yard, his brows tightly knitted into the shape of the Chinese character "川", his eyes filled with solemnity and doubt, and he fell into deep thought.
His mind was like a projector, recalling what happened last night frame by frame.
The behavior of the wild dog was really too weird. How could it bite Sha Zhu's vitals so accurately?
This is by no means accidental; there must be some factor causing it.
Yi Zhonghai knows very well that although the instinctive behavior of animals is difficult to fully control, under normal circumstances, such extreme and targeted attacks will not occur.
Unless someone did it on purpose, who would be so cruel?
There was a hint of inquiry and thought in his eyes, as if he was trying to find a glimmer of truth in the darkness.
My thoughts naturally turned to Xu Damao. Yesterday, Xu Damao took the initiative to find Sha Zhu to drink, which was a bit abnormal.
Everyone in the hospital knew the deep hatred between the two of them.
Sha Zhu once made Xu Damao suffer such a great humiliation and become a known "eunuch". How could such deep hatred be resolved by a few glasses of wine?
Xu Damao's initiative to seek peace seemed like a carefully planned conspiracy from the very beginning.
A trace of anger and suspicion flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, as if he had already seen the ugly face hidden behind Xu Damao.
Yi Zhonghai wondered to himself, could it be that Xu Damao had planned everything in advance?
Did he deliberately get Sha Zhu drunk, then lead him to the place where the wild dogs were active, and then use some means to anger the wild dogs, causing them to launch a fatal attack on Sha Zhu?
But how did he ensure that the wild dogs only bit specific parts of the pillar? Did he make other arrangements at the scene, such as using some kind of smell or sound to attract the wild dogs' attention and guide them to attack the target?
Various possible scenarios kept appearing in his mind, and each one made him shudder.
Yi Zhonghai sat in a chair with a frown on his face, his mind constantly thinking about the news he had just learned.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt a chill running down his spine and he shivered involuntarily.
His hands were originally placed on his knees, but now they began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
When he thought that Xu Damao might have done such a cruel thing, Yi Zhonghai felt an uncontrollable rage in his heart.
How could this person be so cruel? He actually used such a sinister and cunning method to ruin Sha Zhu's life!
This is not only a personal injury to Shazhu, but also a blatant challenge to the public order and moral bottom line that has long been followed in the entire courtyard.
At this moment, there seemed to be two balls of blazing flames in Yi Zhonghai's eyes. The flames were so hot that they seemed to be able to burn away all the darkness and ugliness in the world.
He stared straight ahead, as if he could see Xu Damao hiding in the dark and laughing through the void in front of him.
"Xu Damao, ah Xu Damao, if this is really what you did, then you are worse than an animal!"
He gritted his teeth and cursed silently in his heart. Every word was like a sharp dagger, stabbing straight at the sinner who had not yet surfaced.
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew clearly that if he couldn't get to the bottom of this matter and give Sha Zhu justice, then Sha Zhu's life would be ruined.
Moreover, the entire yard will be shrouded in an indelible shadow because of this unsolved case, and the trust and harmony between people will be destroyed.
Although, Sha Zhu has become a family without a son, which means he is useless.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's expression became more serious.
The face that usually always had a kind smile on it now looked like a piece of cold iron, without any warmth at all.
However, amidst this seriousness, there is also an unwavering determination - no matter how great the difficulties and obstacles are, he must uncover the truth and ensure that justice is served.
He slowly raised his head, with a look of determination in his eyes.
"No matter what, I must find out the truth. I can't let this despicable guy get away with it, and I can't let Sha Zhu suffer in vain." Yi Zhonghai swore secretly in his heart.
