Chapter 264 Ma San is captured
The Ma family looked at each other in confusion. The police station comrades drove away the irrelevant people in the house. They needed to take a statement from the Ma family.
Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun went outside, and many people asked them about the situation inside.
They didn't even need to say anything, the other people who came out of the house narrated what had happened.
Everyone was talking about it for a moment, and Zhou Yong frowned: "Everyone, go away, don't disturb the public security comrades in their work here."
The villagers who were watching left reluctantly in twos and threes. Li Hongjun pondered and lowered his voice: "Could it be that the public security comrades made a wrong judgment on this matter?"
Zhou Yong shook his head slightly: "I don't think so. After all, this is their only job."
Li Hongjun looked into the Ma family's house and couldn't help but shudder.
Zhou Yong checked the time and said, "I won't be needed here for a while. You stay here and I'll go to the mill first..."
Li Hongjun responded, and Zhou Yong went to the mill. His family's wheat had already been ground into flour. After paying, he pushed the flour back home.
"Huh? Why did you come back alone? Where's Gunpao?"
Zhou Yong carried the flour into the warehouse and asked, "Didn't Accountant Sun send his old son back?"
Li Caiyun shook her head, and Zhou Yong asked her to go to the brigade to pick up the child.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Yong briefly told Li Caiyun about the Ma family's affairs, and she looked shocked.
"I'm going to the Ma family first. I may not be able to go home for lunch..."
Li Caiyun nodded, and Zhou Yong rode his bicycle away from home.
He did not go directly to the Ma family, but went to the school to find Ma San.
Zhou Yong told Ma San about Ma Youcai's death. After hearing this, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Brother Zhou, you said he is dead?"
Zhou Yong secretly observed the expression on Ma San's face: "Hmm!"
"How did he die?"
The moment he learned the news of Ma Youcai's death, Ma San was shocked.
When he came to his senses, there was sadness in his eyes.
Zhou Yong patted him on the shoulder: "This is a bit complicated, I'll tell you slowly..."
From Ma San’s series of reactions, Zhou Yong could tell that Ma Youcai’s death had nothing to do with Ma San.
In fact, it’s not Zhou Yong’s fault for being suspicious, because Ma Youcai and Luo Yuying have always intended to live in Ma San’s home in their old age, but Ma San doesn’t want to support them, and everyone in the village knows about it.
Now that Ma Youcai's death has been determined to be homicide, Ma San will definitely be listed as one of the suspects.
Zhou Yong's purpose was very simple. It would be fine if this matter had nothing to do with Ma San, but if it was really something he did, as a good brother, he naturally couldn't watch him fall into the abyss.
"Brother Zhou, I admit that I hate him, but I won't really kill him. Even if I don't consider myself, I have to think about Xiaojuan and Yichen and their four siblings..."
Zhou Yong nodded: "I feel relieved when you say that. Before I came to see you, I was really worried that you were the one who did this..."
Ma San shook his head, and Zhou Yong looked at the time: "I have to go now. We can talk later if there is anything else."
Zhou Yong rode his bicycle to Ma Youcai's home. When he arrived, the comrades from the police station were still taking statements from Ma's family!
Li Hongjun told him the situation, and Zhou Yong looked into the Ma family's house through the glass.
It was freezing cold outside, and the people from the public security brigade and Zhou Yong were walking back and forth in the Ma family courtyard.
At around twelve o'clock, the three brothers of the Ma family were taken away by comrades from the police station. As for Ma Youcai's body, it was temporarily kept at home and could not be buried.
Zhou Yong and Li Hongjun sent the people from the police station away. He wanted to go home for dinner, but someone from the commune came, so Xu Jianmin asked him to go over.
Well, Zhou Yong didn’t even have lunch and went to the commune without stopping.
As the end of the year was approaching, the county was going to hold a report meeting, and Zhou Yong was very honored to be selected to attend this meeting as an exception.
Zhou Yong rubbed his face and said, "Brother, I thought you asked me to come here in such a hurry because of something important, but it turns out that the county is going to hold a report meeting..."
Although he was selected as an exception to attend this meeting, Zhou Yong didn't want to go at all.
Xu Jianmin frowned slightly: "Please correct your attitude. Do you think anyone is qualified to attend the seminar?"
Zhou Yong glanced at Xu Jianmin, then put away his previous laziness and said in a deep voice, "Brother, I know that it is a rare honor to attend a lecture. But you also know that those occasions are not what I like."
Xu Jianmin glared at Zhou Yong and said, "Don't be so picky when it comes to work. There aren't so many things you like..."
Zhou Yong nodded repeatedly, meaning that he understood.
Someone came to see Xu Jianmin, and Zhou Yong saw that he had nothing to do: "Secretary Xu, you are busy, I will go back first."
Xu Jianmin responded, and Zhou Yong and the visitor nodded politely.
After Zhou Yong came out of Xu Jianmin's office, he did not go home directly, but went to the commune canteen.
With the fresh egg note given by Xu Jianmin, Zhou Yong bought ten kilograms of eggs from the canteen.
"Zhou Yong, you're finally back. Ma San has been arrested by the police."
Zhou Yong was stunned, and walked towards the door of his outer room carrying ten kilograms of eggs: "When was he arrested?"
Li Caiyun stepped forward and took the egg: "An hour ago, Juanzi was so anxious that she cried. You should go to his house and check the situation..."
Zhou Yong nodded and turned to go to Masanjia.
When he came over, Liu Juan was wiping tears at home alone!
"What did the police station comrades say?"
Liu Juan wiped away her tears: "I don't know exactly what it said. It was a letter sent to me by a neighbor. When I came back, Ma San had already left with the police..."
Zhou Yong couldn't help but frowned: "Don't worry, it's probably because of Ma Youcai's case."
Everyone in the village knows how bad the relationship between Ma San and Ma Youcai is. It is reasonable for the police station to arrest Ma San and take him back to cooperate with the investigation.
Liu Juan was a little flustered: "The problem is that Ma San's three brothers are worse than the others. Will they team up to frame Ma San?"
Zhou Yong pondered over this question, and he spoke slowly: "It shouldn't be. After all, Ma San didn't do those things. Even if he was framed, the comrades at the police station would find out the truth and clear Ma San's name..."
It is a well-known fact that the relationship between the Ma family brothers has always been bad.
When the incident happened, they were shocked by the sudden event and had no time or opportunity to collude with each other.
Of course, it is possible that they jointly planned to kill Ma Youcai, because Ma San had previously proposed to Ma Youcai and Luo Yuying that if they wanted him to take care of them in their old age, the couple must give him their property and house.
Ma San's brother and sister-in-law naturally would not agree, and the conflicts between them would increase. As for whether he would kill his father for money, everything is possible without conclusive evidence.
"Brother Zhou, I hope it's as you said."
Zhou Yong frowned: "I'm going to the police station now, you stay at home and listen to what I have said..."
Liu Juan responded, and Zhou Yong rode his bicycle and hurried to the commune again.
When he arrived at the police station, it was getting dark, and Zhou Yong met the director of the police station.
"Captain Zhou, there have been several murders in Huaixi Village in recent years. The public security brigade needs to be reorganized..."
Zhou Yong said helplessly: "Director Geng, this matter has nothing to do with the Public Security Brigade. The Han family murder case is an internal family dispute. People from the Public Security Brigade can't go door to door to supervise, right?"
