Old Mo, eating fish in a courtyard house, reigning supreme in Hong Kong.

Chapter 25: General Assembly

The first case he looked at was the one involving the death of Director Wang's son.

Then, the second one, and then this one today.

After reviewing the three cases, Li Zaihua put down the files and fell silent.

Yes, he also thought Old Mo was suspicious. Every time someone dies, you jump out and provoke them. It's like you're openly telling them that he's the killer. Who wouldn't suspect you?

Unfortunately, Old Mo's explanation was also flawless, managing to cover it up.

Is it wrong for him to just want to find out where his daughter is?

"Qingshan, tell me honestly, what exactly happened in the case three years ago?"

Li Zaihua stared intently at Chen Qingshan.

Chen Qingshan didn't hide anything and told the truth: "Chief, I didn't receive any benefits in that case. Chen Jinmo is right, it's acceptable to rule that case as self-defense."

But Director Wang from their neighborhood committee intervened in the case, and given the difficulty of proving self-defense, I was under immense pressure. So, I filed the case in court, citing injury as the basis for the ruling.

Self-defense is a notion that is difficult to establish now, and even in future generations, it will be very difficult to determine.

The problem is that the case hasn't been submitted yet. If the police are honest, they could justify Old Mo's case as self-defense.

The main problem was that someone interfered. If it weren't for Director Wang's intervention, or if someone hadn't spoken up for Lao Mo, everything would have been fine.

After listening, Li Zaihua also fell silent.

If you injure someone and are sentenced to prison, you can't say that's wrong.

Given the pressure he was under, it was only natural that his subordinates acted this way.

To put it bluntly, no matter how these cases are judged, they are acceptable in their eyes.

As the director, Li Zaihua couldn't blame them too much.

The problem is, now the aftermath of this case is starting.

They came back, their family was destroyed, the consequences were severe, and yet they still had someone backing them up.

Li Zaihua thought for a moment and said, "Qingshan! I've taken the pressure out of you this time. This is your last chance. From now on, you must be meticulous in handling cases."

Chen Qingshan stared at Li Zaihua in astonishment.

"Chief, this old Mo seems to have some powerful backing. Are you really alright?"

Li Zaihua smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone has a powerful backer. But you must be meticulous in handling cases in the future and not make any more mistakes."

Especially in this case involving Old Mo, we must handle it strictly by the law and not give anyone any leverage. If you cause any more trouble, I won't be able to protect you anymore.

"Thank you, Director."

Chen Qingshan said, moved.

It is truly an honor for him to have such a leader.

"Chief, what about Old Mo's case? I have a feeling he's up to something, but I can't find any evidence. It's so frustrating. Three lives have already been lost."

Li Zaihua said, "Didn't I tell you? Handle official business strictly and don't give anyone any leverage. If you have evidence, arrest him. Even if the King of Heaven himself comes, you don't need to be afraid of him."

But without evidence, I hope that something like what happened today will never happen again. Do you understand?

"Yes."

Chen Qingshan immediately stood at attention and said.

Old Mo was unaware that because Li Zaihua was so protective of his own, Chen Qingshan escaped unscathed. His boastful promise remained unfulfilled.

Even if he knew, Lao Mo wouldn't be angry.

He knew his relationship with Old Xu, and that it was already quite good that Old Xu was able to help him get fair and legal treatment.

As for helping him overturn his case or investigating a police officer, we're really not that close.

Meanwhile, inside the courtyard house...

Yi Zhonghai went to the deaf old lady's room alone, and the two of them conspired together there.

This time, their losses were truly enormous. Not only did they offend Liu Haizhong, but even Sha Zhu got arrested. And it's the kind of arrest where he can't be released.

"Grandma, what should we do? This old man is too strange. I feel like everything is out of control."

The deaf old lady sat on the edge of the bed, leaning on her cane, her face also filled with worry.

"Xiao Yi, we really need to find a way to protect ourselves. This time, the charges against that little bastard won't be enough to kill him. He'll definitely be back in a couple of days, maybe ten days at most. Let's hold a hospital-wide meeting while he's away!"

We called on the entire compound to unite and criticize him. Didn't he threaten to kill us all? Based on that alone, we have every reason to kick him out.

We must make sure he has no place here. Once we drive him out, it won't be so easy for him to come back and attack us again.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes suddenly lit up. How come I didn't think of that? Indeed, experience counts!

"Alright, let's do it this way. I refuse to believe that so many of us can't defeat one man. Let's kick him out of the compound first."

Soon, the sound of gongs rang out in the courtyard.

"Attention everyone, there will be a court-wide meeting at 10:00 AM to resolve Lao Mo's matter. At least one person from each household must attend..."

"Clang clang clang clang..."

"Attention everyone..."

Ten o'clock is quite late these days. Most people would already be fast asleep by then.

However, tonight is different.

As soon as the gong sounded, the courthouse was packed with people in less than five minutes.

There was no way around it; everyone was drawn in by the idea of ​​resolving Lao Mo's problem.

Old Mo has become a knife hanging over their heads. They don't know when this knife will fall on their heads, and everyone is already living in fear.

The Jia family, Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, Huaihua, the Second Uncle's family, the Third Uncle's family, Xu Damao and his wife, and all the residents of the compound came.

It's worth mentioning that He Yushui is already married and no longer lives in the courtyard.

At a square table, Yi Zhonghai sat in the main seat. To his left and right were his second and third uncles.

Behind them sat the anchor of stability, the deaf old lady.

The others also brought their own small stools, found a spot in front, and sat down.

"Cough cough..."

Yi Zhonghai coughed twice and then spoke directly. There was no need for anyone to give an opening speech.

"Neighbors, I'm sure you all know by now. Old Mo is back, and he threatened to kill everyone in our compound. He's terrifying; he means what he says, and he's already killed three people. Nobody knows who'll be next. So now I'd like to hear your opinions."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Jia Zhangshi sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and howling, "Old Jia! Hurry up and show yourself, come up and take that little beast away!"

"That bastard killed your grandson! The Jia family line is going to end! Come up here and take him away..."

The deaf old woman immediately flew into a rage: "Jia Zhangshi, shut up! If you keep making that noise, believe me, I'll beat you to death with my cane! What time is it now? Still spouting this nonsense?"

Madam Jia was startled and immediately shut her mouth.

However, the scene was eerily quiet.

They had already sensed how terrifying Old Mo was, and no one dared to step forward.

They say the nail that sticks out gets hammered down; if you stand out now, you'll be the first to die if Old Mo sets his sights on you.
