Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The First Commission: Child Drowning

Chapter 5

"Qin Ye! You are so bold! You dare to ask the police to arrest my Liang Ping!"

The eldest aunt pushed away the woman who tried to hold her back and rushed into the crowd, shouting and cursing, "Look at my poor honest man! You pulled an ungrateful man out of the river and want to put him in jail!"

Her eyes scanned around like a searchlight, quickly locking onto Qin Ye's position, and she rushed forward with her arm raised, wanting to slap her.

Seeing that he was unable to stop it, Li Quan subconsciously stood in front of Qin Ye, wanting to take the slap for her.

Unexpectedly, Qin Ye's movements were much faster than his.

Qin Ye quickly pushed Li Quan away and grabbed his aunt's wrist with one hand.

With a move of grappling technique, he pinned the aunt's arm behind her back and said coldly, "Shen Dahong, stop throwing tantrums! It's useless in front of the law! If Qin Liangping didn't commit any crime, the police naturally wouldn't arrest him. Do you understand?!"

Her expression was stern, and her charming facial features added a bit of heroic spirit, and everyone around her was stunned.

Why does Qin Ye seem like a different person? Her movements were too fast. Could she subdue Shen Dahong with just a slight twist? They haven’t figured out what’s going on yet! ! !

Even Shen Dahong forgot to curse and stared at Qin Ye in a daze with his neck twisted.

She really couldn't believe that she, who could always fight three people alone in the village, would be so suppressed by Qin Ye, who had thin arms and legs.

Shen Dahong was a little scared from the bottom of her heart.

Her niece used to be quiet, but now when she gets angry, she is more powerful than the uniformed police officer next to her. She gave in and said, "I understand."

Qin Ye got the answer and let go of Shen Dahong.

She ignored the villagers' curious gazes and looked at Qin Liangping again: "Tell me, what were you doing by the river?"

Qin Liangping could tell the difference between telling his own bad deeds and being labeled as an accomplice of a murderer.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone, and confessed in a low voice: "I went to the river to have a tryst with Widow Wang. Public Security comrades, you can ask Widow Wang, she can testify for me."

Qin Liangping's words were like a thunderclap, causing Shen Dahong, who had just calmed down, to go crazy again.

"Ah! Qin Liangping, what did you say? ! ! Say it again to me if you dare!!!"

She rushed forward, howling, aimed at Qin Liangping's face, raised her hand and grabbed him twice, "I am working so hard at home, and you go out and fool around with vixen! My life is so miserable——"

Public Security He and Li Quan looked at each other and wanted to step forward to pull Shen Dahong away so that she would not affect their investigation. And because of the differences between men and women, there is really no way to do anything.

It was Qin Ye who stepped forward and called out to several familiar aunts who were watching the fun: "Aunt Xingfang, Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, please lend a hand and help pull my aunt up. Don't let her affect the police officers' investigation."

The few people who were called did not refuse. They walked out of the crowd and pulled Shen Dahong aside with Qin Ye.

Qin Ye made all the arrangements, told people to keep an eye on Shen Dahong, and returned to his original place. Only then did she see that Qin Liangping's face was scratched by Shen Dahong, leaving several bloody cuts, and he was grimacing in pain.

"After hanging out with Widow Wang, I thought the production meeting was almost over, so I might as well hide in the reeds to avoid running into anyone I knew. Unexpectedly, when I turned my head, I saw a person floating in the river, wearing Ye Ye's clothes."

Qin Liangping wiped the wound on his face, his hands were covered in blood, "I thought she was dead, and I didn't want to fish her out. But then I thought, no matter what, she is still my niece, so I might as well fish her out. After I got home, my wife asked me what happened. I couldn't say that when I was fooling around with Widow Wang, I saw my niece soaking in the river, right?"

This was not the first time that the original owner had attempted suicide.

Qin Liangping remembered that An Chuqiang was going back to the provincial capital, and thought that the original owner committed suicide again because An Chuqiang refused to take her away. He just made up some nonsense and pretended that he had really witnessed the original owner jumping into the river.

After listening to Qin Liangping's confession, Qin Ye was speechless but also felt somewhat fortunate.

I was speechless about Qin Liangping's nonsense, which almost allowed a murderer to escape the law and caused the original victim to be wrongly accused. I was also glad that this matter had nothing to do with Qin Liangping, otherwise, with the kind-hearted personalities of the original owner's parents, they would definitely not be able to accept the fact that their brother conspired to kill their daughter.

Qin Liangping dumped out all the secrets in one go.

He looked around and realized that the ugly things he carefully concealed every day were known to the whole village. He was overwhelmed with grief and started crying with his hands covering his face: "I am confused! I am confused! How could I be seduced by that stinky bitch?"

Qin Ye hates the scumbags who don’t look for problems in themselves, but instead blame all the mistakes on the cheating partner.

She rolled her eyes in disgust: "Now you know how embarrassing it is. Why didn't you think about the consequences of being exposed before you decided to do such a shameful thing?"

Qin Liangping didn't say anything either. He just lowered his head and covered his face, pretending to be a quail, not wanting anyone to look at him.

"Alright, alright, let's all go."

It was the village party secretary who came out to smooth things over. "Now that the truth is out, this matter has nothing to do with Qin Liangping, so I feel relieved. Public Security comrade, are you going to arrest An Chuqiang for Ye Ye next? I have the address here. I just copied it down at the brigade headquarters."

The village party secretary took out a piece of paper from the pocket of his Zhongshan suit and handed it to He Gongan: "This is the address that was registered when the educated youth first went to the countryside. An Chuqiang has been in the countryside for three years. I don't know if his home address has changed."

When Public Security He took the address and looked at it, he was stunned.

My goodness, An Chuqiang’s home is in the next province, and it takes a whole day and night to get there by train.

No wonder Li Quan told him that he applied to his leader to go to the provincial capital to arrest An Chuqiang, but was severely scolded by his leader.

It would be strange if I didn’t curse!

The situation of the case had not been clarified at that time. If the leader had agreed to let Li Quan arrest people, that would have been weird!

He Gongan sighed.

It would be great if Li Quan could be like Comrade Qin Ye! He will definitely have less worries if he works every day.

He Gongan picked up a piece of paper with An Chuqiang's address on it and thanked the village party secretary: "Thank you for your help, secretary. Also, when you have time, please educate the villagers about the law. We are the police, not bandits. Why do some villagers think that the police shoot people at will?"

He and Li Quan recalled the chaotic scene when they first entered the village, and both felt a little amused and helpless.

"Yes, Secretary, if all the comrades in the village can be like Comrade Qin Ye, knowing the law, understanding the law and speaking the law, our public security personnel's grassroots work will be carried out more smoothly."

Li Quan nodded in agreement with He T Public Security, and did not forget to praise Qin Ye again, "By the way, Comrade Qin Ye, we will report the situation to the leadership after we return to the bureau. I will inform you as soon as there is any progress in the case."

If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon be able to get the assistance and cooperation of the public security department in the provincial capital, and both sides will be able to capture An Chuqiang together.

Qin Ye nodded and thanked him: "I'll see you off."

"No, no, it's getting late, you should go back quickly and don't let your family wait anxiously."

He Gongan waved his hand and rejected her proposal, "We still have work to do."

He and Li Quan had to find Widow Wang to verify the truth of Qin Liangping's words.

Just after taking two steps, he thought of something and turned back to the village party secretary and said, "Secretary, please tell the children in the village that it is the summer flood season and they must not go swimming in the river. It is too dangerous. There was a little boy in the neighboring Waping village. He was chubby and very smart. He was only four years old this year. Unfortunately, he was washed away by the water yesterday and is now missing."

Today, he followed the villagers of Waping Village and fished in the river downstream for most of the day, but did not find even a piece of cloth.

"I have to go retrieve the body tomorrow. Secretary, you have great prestige in the village, please mobilize more people. If the young and strong people in the village have nothing to do, let them go to Waping Village to help. We are all fellow villagers."

He Gongan sighed, "The child's father died early, leaving only the mother and him to depend on each other. His mother is a capable woman who raised the child wholeheartedly. It's a pity... In the past two days, his mother cried so much that she didn't eat a single bite of food. Her throat was damaged from crying. It's so pitiful..."

At this moment, the familiar electronic sound rang in Qin Ye's ears again.

Along with it, the virtual screen in front of me popped up——

[We have received a commission from forty years later, please check it carefully.]

Location: Waping Village, Wuning County;

Commission: Please find the body of my four-year-old son for me;

Rewards: A number of food coupons and cloth coupons. 】

She looked at the refreshed tasks and combined them with what He Gongan had just said, and had some vague guesses.

Is this commission to help find the child that Public Security He mentioned?

But why was the commission from forty years later? Is there a system bug?

"Ye Ye! Ye Ye! Oh, you kid!"

Qin Ye was concentrating on studying the newly refreshed task. The village party secretary called her several times, but she didn't hear him.

It was not until she was pushed by the village party secretary that she suddenly came to her senses: "Secretary, you called me?"

The village party secretary didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, I called you! Go back and tell your father that starting from tomorrow, the job of watching over the grain drying field will be given to him. I don't like Qin Liangping doing it."

As he spoke, he glanced back and saw that Qin Liangping and his wife had not left yet. They were pushing and shoving each other and arguing under the banyan tree in the threshing ground.

The village party secretary raised his voice, deliberately letting Shen Dahong and Qin Liangping hear: "The job of looking after the grain field needs honest people to do it. I can't afford shameless hooligans!"

The couple's fight froze.

Both of them were reluctant to give up the multiple work points they earned every day, and they were even more reluctant to see the good thing of "earning work points for free" fall into the Qin Ye family. But they looked at each other, neither of them had the courage to come over and beg for mercy. After hesitating for a long time, they finally left in shame.

Qin Ye didn't expect that this job would go around in circles and return to the original owner's father.

There are many people in the village who are jealous of this job. She could tell that the village party secretary was taking care of her family, so she thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, uncle. When I make money, I'll ask my parents to treat you to a drink."

The village party secretary stroked his goatee, raised his head and laughed, not taking her words to heart at all: "Ye Ye, you have been sweet-talking since you were a child. Go back quickly, or your mother will be worried."

After watching Qin Ye's figure disappear at the entrance of the threshing ground, the branch secretary withdrew his gaze, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards the brigade office.

Qin Ye is a pretty and smart girl. Ke Xin is a bad person. She is too mean to her family and has too many schemes!

She is a little girl who is unwilling to work hard in the fields. How much money can she make by relying on her parents for support? I'm afraid you're bragging again!

…

Qin Ye returned home, went into his room immediately, and opened the commission screen again.

The upper right corner of the screen also displays the real-time number of people: 10 people.

She asked the system curiously, "Can these ten viewers always see what I am doing?"

System: [No, host, the entire network audience can only watch you communicating online with the client. Your case-solving process and progress will be broadcast live to the client only. 】

At this moment, a connection request from the client "Gu Yun" popped up on the screen.

Qin Ye clicked to confirm, and soon a white-haired old woman with a wrinkled face appeared on the screen. The other person was wearing a thin wool sweater and had a dull look in his eyes. On the calendar behind him, it was clearly written that it was the year 202×.

The year the other party was in was exactly the year she was in before she came here!

"Hello, officer. I would like to ask you to help me find my son's body."

The white-haired old woman didn't wait for Qin Ye to speak, and said impatiently, "I know you are now in 198×. My son is called Gu Hu, he is four years and two months old. He drowned and disappeared in the west of our Waping Village on July 3. Please save him! As long as you are fast enough, he may still be alive!"
