Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 439 Avoid the important and take the easy

"Everyone sit down! It's not up to you to decide whether it matters or not!" The policeman took a step forward unceremoniously, forcing the villagers to step back.

The villagers looked at each other in confusion, but the police were not easy to deal with. Although they were unwilling to wait, they finally returned to their original place and sat down reluctantly.

Old Lady Yang gritted her teeth in displeasure, "What a mess! They have to make us sit here and wait. Who are those high-ranking officials and noble ladies inside? They have to kneel down to welcome them, right? They are just a bunch of debt collectors! We haven't chopped the firewood at home yet. Second girl, did you feed the chickens this morning?"

"I've fed her, grandma." The little girl answered in a low voice with her head tucked in.

"Tsk! Haven't you eaten? You're speaking so softly, even mosquitoes can hear you!" Old Mrs. Yang reached out and slapped the little girl on the back.

The little girl didn't dare to cry out in pain, and then repeated her previous answer a little louder, "I've fed you, grandma."

"Oh my, you damned little girl, why are you so loud? Do you have a problem with me?" Old Lady Yang slapped her ears, as if she was afraid of going deaf. Then she grabbed Erya's ears and twisted them hard. "You damned little girl, you eat and drink my food all day long, and you still have a problem with me? I'll beat you to death!"

Seeing his mother's endless nagging, Old Lady Yang's eldest son impatiently reached out and pulled his second daughter over, shoving her behind him, "Mom, if you're not happy, just hit me. Erya is not young anymore, and there are so many people outside, you should at least be careful, otherwise it will be hard to find a husband in the future."

Old Mrs. Yang was so angry that she cried out, as if she was mad at her unfilial children and grandchildren.

"Shut up! If you make any more noise, you'll have to stand outside!" The policeman came over unhappily and stared at the villagers who were resting for several times, especially Old Lady Yang, until she shrank behind her second son and dared not show her head.

After seeing that everyone was quiet, the policeman walked back to the chair next to him and sat down.

But how long can the villagers stay quiet? After a while, they start gossiping again.

Many people wondered why they wanted to keep everyone here. They just mentioned prisoners, but most people didn’t need to pick anyone up. Besides, their homes were nearby, so was it necessary to pick anyone up?

"They said they were going to release us, but now they're holding us all here. Could it be that someone among us has committed a crime and they want to arrest us?"

"You never know. Look at Uncle Wang's third son. He hasn't been arrested yet. And that guy, who has been stealing since he was a kid, hasn't been arrested either! And Widow Li, a slut who has been having affairs with her husband. I think women like her should be arrested as soon as possible!"

"And the one from the Mei family, I heard he's already on the black market, shouldn't he be arrested?"

"So if that's what you mean, your Shuanzi has never been to the black market? Just arrest him too."

"Fuck you, you bitch, who are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you, you shameless old woman. You talk as if your family is innocent. Your father cheated on you and asked your son to raise his brother. You are a vicious woman with a black conscience. You know that your husband is a villain, but you still want to pin that bad reputation on your wife. Lanhua jumped into the river and died at the age of 23. Your whole family should be arrested and put in jail. You are so conscienceless and black-hearted. If I say that God has eyes, he should kill you to make Lanhua pay for her life!"

"Who the hell has a black conscience? You bastard, you spewing shit all over my house, I'll let you throw dirty water on our family!!"

The situation became chaotic again. Some were fighting, some were trying to stop the fight, some were cheering, and some were just watching. The villagers who were sitting quietly all stood up and gathered together, not only to get a closer look at the fight, but also to stop the police behind them.

They have been sitting here for the whole morning, so they have to find something fun to kill time. Otherwise, they will have to go home now.

The police wandered outside for a long time and found that although the people inside were shouting very loudly, they did not call for help. They thought nothing would happen. Besides, there were not many good people in this construction team. They could just beat them up. If they got hurt, it would be their own bad luck. As long as they didn't yell and ask to go home, it would be fine.

Oh, I don't know how long it will take to search and confiscate the house over there. It'd better be quick, otherwise these people will get tired of the fun and won't be able to stop them.

Wu Jiesheng, who was taking notes in the office, stood up, went to the window to take a look at the situation outside, and found that it was just a minor fight, so he sat back and continued to put pressure on the brigade secretary opposite.

As for Wang Hongqi, she did not let everyone's plans go to waste. She gave in, but what she said was not what everyone wanted.

"I heard his subordinates call him Wang Sheng. I couldn't tell whether it was Wang or Huang. Anyway, he was a Hong Kong businessman. He brought an unconscious girl who was dressed in rags, but was pretty. He asked me to lock her up and not let them find her. If I succeeded, he would give me 1 yuan. The group of people had guns and captured my daughter. I didn't dare to refuse." Wang Hongqi shrank in his chair, but his words were still clear.

"Please be more specific. What do you mean?" The man with glasses who was in charge of asking the questions frowned slightly, realizing that Wang Hongqi might want to disrupt their rhythm. However, if what the other party said was true, he could not just ignore it, because it sounded like kidnapping?

"Later, I remembered the warehouse that Lao Dai gave me before, no, it was the right to use a warehouse. There was a dark room in that warehouse, so I locked the girl there and asked the people at the warehouse to close the door. Boss Wang and his men searched the entire commune but couldn't find her. They also came to the brigade to search. After making sure that I had hidden the girl well, Boss Wang was very satisfied. He really gave me the money. The next day, those people left and I never saw them again." Wang Hongqi ignored the questions of the man with glasses and talked to himself.

The man with glasses tore off a piece of paper, quickly wrote two sentences, stood up, opened the door, handed the note to the policeman at the door, and asked him to help give it to Lin Ke.

"The rich lady who made an appointment with me at the beginning also disappeared. I took the money, but I didn't know what to do, so I could only keep the girl locked up. I didn't know the girl's name, and I didn't dare to go see her. Last winter, something happened at the warehouse, and the girl disappeared." Wang Hongqi began to shiver again, "I don't know if Boss Wang knew about this, or if there was someone behind the girl, but they took my daughter away again. Two days later, when Old Dai returned home, he saw a box at the door. The box contained my daughter's finger! ! Police comrade, I really don't know who those people are. I really didn't mean to do it. I was just blinded by money. I know I did a bad thing and I deserved it, but..."
