Chapter 88 The Case Takes a Huge Turn
The topic suddenly changed and Ye Xiaomei was stunned.
Until the villagers outside the door started talking: "Minzhi, you are really confused, that stuff is really poisonous, anyone who drinks it will die."
Wang Dazui slapped his thigh while holding the empty bowl: "That's right, you were too careless. I had good intentions at first, but now you're in big trouble."
Ye Xiaomei's head buzzed and she turned to look at Wang Minzhi. Her anxious look made her wonder if it was really unintentional.
"Xiao Mei, let's go. I was just saying I'm going to see your mom." Wang Minzhi saw the expressionless face of the girl and thought to herself: You silly girl, haven't you heard that old ginger is still spicy? You're playing tricks in front of me. That's just bullshit. No way.
I saw the old lady go to the main room to pick up the can, then run into the kitchen to take out seven or eight eggs from the rice jar and put them in a basket.
"Auntie, if you are so good at acting, I will call the police." Ye Xiaomei suddenly thought of the sparse corn seedlings in the corn field. This was not intentional. Who would risk reducing the yield by pulling out the strong seedlings?
"What?" Wang Minzhi stood at the door of the dormitory with a basket on her shoulder.
People outside who were watching the excitement began to talk.
——The family didn’t do it on purpose, so why should we report it to the police? It would make us no longer like a family.
——Yes, it is said that harmony is the most valuable thing and family members should not have different opinions.
Ye Xiaomei slowly turned around to look at those faces, they were so hypocritical that it made people shudder. When the meeting was held, the truth had not been figured out yet, and they all sided with the Ma family. After the truth was exposed, they all sided with Ye Xiaolin.
These people can always act as qualified fence-sitters when they are not sure about the outcome. Yes, what do these people do in their spare time?
Ye Xiaomei sneered and smiled faintly: "You're right, this is my family's business, what does it have to do with you?"
"Hey, how come this kid has become a different person since he got married?" Wang Dazui was the first to react.
"Isn't it? In the past, when I saw the elders from a distance, I knew to call them. I looked very well behaved. It seems that..."
"What is it?" Ye Xiaomei walked to the door. Who could understand how distressed she was? Were the sheep and rabbits simple things? They were the breakthrough point for her to hold on to the grievances she had accumulated for eighteen years, and they were her hope for her future life:
"What does the death of my sheep have to do with you? Are you planning to compensate me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a swarm of people outside the door started to think about it.
——Who will compensate you?
——That’s right, does this make sense?
——We are just trying to make peace with you with good intentions, but you are so ungrateful.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd at the door who was watching the excitement left in a huff.
Ye Xiaomei turned around and looked at Wang Minzhi: "Auntie, don't run away. I'm going to report it to the police right now."
After saying that, Ye Xiaomei went out, picked up the bicycle and left.
"Xiao Mei... Xiao Mei, this is a misunderstanding. Auntie really didn't know that the herbicide is poisonous."
Wang Minzhi chased for a few steps, and seeing that the girl was more stubborn than ever, she disappeared in a flash.
Wang Minzhi was scared. She used to be so scared that she couldn't even fart. How come she was so brave now? Was it necessary to report such a small matter to the police?
What should I do? What if they find out?
"Oh my God, is Xiaomei crazy?" Wang Dazui in the alley stretched his neck to look at the village entrance:
"Minzhi, why don't you go to the police station first? Don't give her a chance to report the crime."
"I...what should I say? I'm at a loss for words." Wang Minzhi was also scared. She looked at Wang Dazui and then at the direction where Xiaomei disappeared at the village entrance.
"Oh, you seem to be quite smart, why are you so confused now? Go and explain it." Wang Dazui hurriedly explained as if it happened to him:
"If she reports it to the police, won't she be able to say everything by herself? She can say whatever she wants. If you don't explain, you will end up in jail if the matter gets out of hand."
Ye Xiaomei hurried back to the county in the afternoon and went to the seed and pesticide store first. It was already 4:10 in the afternoon when she arrived at the police station.
"Is your captain here?" Ye Xiaomei hurriedly asked. She was determined to get to the bottom of this matter. She didn't want to bully people like this. "I'm from Meihua Village. I came here this morning."
The girl finally reacted, picked up the yellow landline phone at the front desk, dialed a code, and then told Ye Xiaomei:
"I'm recording the case in the office. Please wait a moment."
Ye Xiaomei looked at the time and it was half past four. Wait a minute. She had to get this done today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to give an explanation to her mother when she got home. She watched the clock tick away and soon it was five o'clock.
Some police comrades who did not need to be on duty left work one after another, and even the girl who was consulting at the front desk left.
Ye Xiaomei spotted the tall and thin man she had seen in the morning and quickly chased after him:
"Captain, I'm Ye Xiaomei from Meihua Village who came to report the case this morning. The matter couldn't be resolved. Can you..."
The tall and thin man showed an impatient expression on his face: "Go away, don't look for me. The director is personally in charge of this case. Go find the director."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Ye Xiaomei was confused. This case had to be handled by the director? Could it be that, as the two people had said this morning, this herbicide had killed someone, so the director was personally in charge of the case? In that case, wouldn't that mean he was taking it seriously?
Just when Ye Xiaomei came to her senses, the police station had become quiet. Only a few police officers who stayed on duty were walking towards the cafeteria with their lunch boxes.
Ye Xiaomei also saw a fat man among the three or four people. He was the policeman she had met in the morning.
Just as she opened her mouth to ask about the director, the fat man scratched his head, snapped his nails, and walked towards Ye Xiaomei:
"Ye...Xiao Mei?" He thought for a moment and remembered the girl's name: "Not adjusted well?"
"Well, your captain just said that this case is under the charge of the director. Is the director here?" Ye Xiaomei's eyes lit up. Although the fat man was a little dirty, he was much easier to talk to than the tall and thin captain.
The fat man looked around and spoke closer. Ye Xiaomei instinctively took a half step back and subconsciously looked at his head. His naturally curly hair was all white and smelled of brain oil.
"You say, I can hear you."
The fat man then lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid there's no way to solve your case."
Ye Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat. Someone had deliberately poisoned her six sheep and twelve rabbits in broad daylight.
"Why is there no way?"
The fat man glanced around again and saw that most of his colleagues were gone, so he said:
"I see that you are young and have a good temper, so don't pursue this matter. It's easy to offend people and you can't afford it."
After saying that, the fat man left.
"What do you mean by offending someone?" Ye Xiaomei was anxious and grabbed the fat man's arm. He was more than just an animal, he was the lifeblood of the three of them.
"Can you explain it to me clearly? I beg you, brother."
Ye Xiaomei's big grape-like eyes were filled with crystal clearness, which made any man feel a chill in his heart.
"Hey, girl, don't cry!" The fat man was anxious and quickly pulled Ye Xiaomei out of the police station, then whispered:
"Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a mother and daughter came to report the case. They also said you made a false accusation. Moreover, they went directly to the director. The person you offended has a close relationship with Director Li. I heard that it was Director Li's nephew's wife. You said that this was the case, but the case was directly taken over by our boss. We, the subordinates, do not have the right to investigate."
Ye Xiaomei's mind was buzzing with thoughts and flashes of lightning: Director Li's nephew? Isn't that Zhang Changjiang? And the nephew's wife, could it be Ye Xiaolin?
At this moment, the fat man suddenly stood up and turned to face the door of the police station.
A black Red Flag sedan drove out slowly, and the fat man saluted quickly: "Hello, Director Li!"
