Siheyuan: Breaking off an engagement? Thanking the grace of not marrying

Chapter 121 The Cause of Yang Zhengde's Death

Liu Jianshe took the notebook and pen and stared at Yi Zhonghai. "Yi Zhonghai, what you said is extremely important. I will record it all. Everything you said will eventually be submitted to the police station and used as evidence in court. You must not falsify it."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Since I came to you to expose Fu Pingzhi, I will naturally not make up stories. I am willing to take responsibility for what I say next."

Liu Jianshe: "Okay, then tell me what happened five years ago."

Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "That afternoon, a new piece of equipment arrived in Workshop No. 5. Since I was using one in Workshop No. 2, they asked me to debug it."

"During my debugging process, Fu Pingzhi showed great interest in this new equipment. He kept asking me questions about equipment operation and safety measures."

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I just told him whatever he asked."

"After debugging, I processed a material for mass production. After processing, it was time to get off work, so he asked me to call Zhengde to come over for inspection."

"New equipment like this that has just been debugged must be inspected by Zhengde himself. Because I had to arrange for someone to work overtime at night, I went to find Zhengde."

"When I arrived at the Quality Inspection Department, I happened to meet Zhengde who was about to get off work, so he went to Workshop No. 5 with me."

"Because the processed materials were a bit large, Zhengde squatted next to the equipment to inspect them."

At this point, Yi Zhonghai paused and continued to describe that ill-fated afternoon...

"Zhengde squatted there, carefully measuring every dimension and checking every detail. Even though he is the head of the quality inspection department, his work attitude is still so serious."

There was a hint of respect in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by sadness.

"After five or six minutes, Zhengde got tired of squatting, so he leaned on the machine and prepared to continue the inspection."

“But at this moment, Zhengde let out a scream, and then his whole body became stiff, his head tilted back, and the whole person… just…”

At this point, tears welled up in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

Liu Jianshe saw Yi Zhonghai's entire expression.

Ma Hongxia cried and said, "Yes... Zhengde... He was electrocuted... The device leaked electricity..."

This was the result of the initial inspection.

There is a problem with the equipment wiring. After running for a period of time, a short circuit occurs, causing leakage.

I bought the equipment from the Russians after much pleading.

Therefore, there was no way to complain to the Russians, and the steel mill bore all the losses.

Liu Jianshe did not ask Yi Zhonghai, as this information was crucial.

He was afraid that the questions he asked would be leading, which would have an impact when the transcript was used as evidence.

Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "When I saw Zhengde like that... I panicked immediately..."

"But Fu Pingzhi was very calm. He asked me to turn off the power and see how Zhengde was doing."

"I turned off the power and checked Zhengde's breathing and pulse. They were gone..."

"Then, I immediately checked the wiring of the device and found that... the wiring of the device had been changed!"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai said this, Liu Jianshe narrowed his eyes!

"Zhengde!"

Ma Hongxia couldn't help sobbing and kept calling Yang Zhengde's name.

Yi Zhonghai: "I remember it very clearly. At that time, I told Fu Pingzhi that this wire cannot be connected in this way. There will be leakage. The 380V electricity will electrocute people to death."

"After I discovered the line had been changed, I immediately looked at Fu Pingzhi."

"Fu Pingzhi's eyes were very cold. I looked into his eyes and saw murderous intent in them."

"Then he threatened me not to tell anyone about this. Because I was the one who debugged the equipment, and there were workers nearby who could testify when I was debugging it."

"If I talk nonsense, he will blame it all on me."

"I was terribly scared at the time. He was the workshop director, and there were workers who could testify, so..."

Yi Zhonghai's voice began to tremble at this time, "So, I chose to remain silent."

He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Ma Hongxia and Liu Jianshe.

"During the past five years, I have been struggling and feeling guilty. Today, I learned that Fu Pingzhi was taken away by the security department. He has done so many evil things that he will definitely not be able to be a workshop director."

"This way he can't use his position as workshop director to threaten me. You are also a reasonable person, so... after much hesitation, I decided to confess this to you."

"I also know that it is my fault that I concealed this matter for so long."

Yi Zhonghai looked up at Ma Hongxia and said, "Sister-in-law, it's my fault. Please forgive me."

Ma Hongxia looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly, "You have concealed this matter until now, and you want me to forgive you? There is no way."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Jianshe again, "Jianshe..."
