Chapter 432 From Victim to Suspect
Zhang Fang has a big headache now.
He knew Li Youwei, who owned several ships and aquaculture. As the richest man in Nancun, even though he was in his forties or fifties, he was never short of women around him. He and Director Xiang were in cahoots with each other, and the two were close friends.
If this person wants to report the case, he can't just ignore it.
After weighing the pros and cons, he said to his disciple, "Go see Ye Qing."
"It's not a complicated matter over there. It's just that the shrimp pots and ground traps were stolen."
"Just go through the process and come back."
The young policeman asked, "Aren't you going to check?"
Zhang Fang sneered twice and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"How are you going to check?"
"You've just arrived on the island and you don't know the situation very well."
"You do whatever I tell you to do."
His tone was not very good and his words were very rude.
This young man was just tactless. He didn't see that Li Youwei was still waiting for him to receive him. Instead of leaving quickly, he kept asking him questions. His tone of voice was not as kind as usual.
As a master, it is reasonable to give a few words of instruction.
The young policeman didn't feel like he was being lectured. He said, "But, as far as I know, Ye Qing has a lot of shrimp and crab cages. If they were stolen, the amount would be huge..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Fang interrupted him: "That's enough."
"I know the situation better than you."
"But who hasn't lost a shrimp or crab pot on Longwei Island? Once lost, it's basically impossible to find it, let alone track it down."
"There's no surveillance, no witnesses, nothing. What are you going to use to investigate?"
"Whoever loses it will just have to blame themselves for their bad luck."
The young policeman was stunned. He didn't expect that his admired master would say such a thing.
How would he know?
Long before, Zhang Fang had been called by Xiang Yongde for a talk and knew that Xiang Yongde was going to take action against Ye Qing.
At this time, he must of course express his attitude in front of Li Youwei.
When it comes to living on Longwei Island, it is important to stand on the right side.
Ye Qing has been very active recently, trying to attract attention in various ways, but he is just a young man. If he is targeted by Xiang Yongde, he will be in trouble.
Judging from Xiang Yongde's meaning, it was not a simple gesture, but he wanted to kill Ye Qing.
Between Ye Qing and Xiang Yongde, not to mention him, even a fool would know what to choose.
The young policeman wanted to say something, but seeing Zhang Fang's unhappy expression, he finally held back and just said perfunctorily, "I understand."
After saying that, he took the flashlight and went out.
He was thinking about how to find the lost shrimp and crab cages. Although what the master said was not pleasant to hear, it was indeed the case.
It’s quite difficult to find it.
Fan Liangcai got into the car, started the engine, glanced at Zhang Fang who was pouring tea for Li Youwei, and couldn't help but curl his lips. He couldn't stand it, but there was nothing he could do, and he couldn't change it.
The human relationships on Longwei Island are complicated and intertwined. Many times, he wants to do something but has no way to do it.
Someone was arrested for committing a crime, but someone called and he was released the next day.
That's still good.
Some of them were so arrogant that they even threatened him, a foreigner, to behave himself.
Isn’t it infuriating?
…
pier.
Fan Liangcai got off the car. Ye Qing's fishing boat had not arrived yet. He did not just wait there, but took out a small notebook and began to investigate.
After being questioned, Old Feng asked, "Are you helping Ye Qing investigate?"
Fan Liangcai asked in return: "How do you know?"
Old Feng's attitude immediately became several degrees more enthusiastic. He said, "Qingzai was put in the cage this afternoon. It was only four or five hours before he was found."
"I've asked around, but I haven't found any large-scale shrimp and crab sales."
“The people who stole the shrimp and crab cages didn’t dare return to Longwei Island.”
Fan Liangcai asked, "How can you be sure of this through the bulk trading of shrimp and crabs?"
Lao Feng said, "Qingzai is lucky."
"As long as you put the cage in, you will definitely get a lot."
"Officer, you have to take this seriously. This isn't just stealing shrimp and crab cages; it's a major crime worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Fan Liangcai was startled.
If you say so, I won't feel sleepy at all.
He had only estimated the value of the shrimp and crab cages, but he felt that the case was already quite large.
According to Lao Feng, including the fish catch, it can be regarded as the case with the largest amount of money in the history of Longwei Island.
If the amount is particularly huge, exceeding 500,000 yuan, the offender may face a prison sentence of more than ten years or life imprisonment.
Of course.
This is not absolute.
The criminal motive, means, consequences, and whether meritorious service has been made must be considered, and only after comprehensive consideration will a sentence be imposed according to law.
Fan Liangcai had a premonition that this case would change his current situation.
…
The fishing boat arrived at the dock.
Just docked.
Fan Liangcai immediately boarded the boat and came to Ye Qing.
He found that Ye Qing was very calm, but the people around him were obviously very angry, especially the cute girl who was holding a spear gun and shouting that she wanted to find the thief and avenge the anchor.
Fan Liangcai greeted Ye Qing and asked routine questions.
Actually, there is nothing to ask.
As a victim, Ye Qing didn't know much.
After asking, Fan Liang put away his notebook, issued a case filing receipt, and said, "There are no special circumstances on Longwei Island. I will go to the coastal port to investigate."
“Hopefully there will be some discovery.”
He didn't say anything like waiting for news. He himself didn't believe those words.
Ye Qing said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Just as Fan Liang was about to leave, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Zhang Fang calling.
He answered.
Zhang Fang's voice came from the microphone: "Liangcai, are you with Ye Qing?"
Fan Liangcai glanced at Ye Qing and said, "Yes."
Zhang Fang said, "Okay, then bring him to the police station."
Fan Liangcai was stunned and asked, "Huh?"
"Master, arrest Ye Qing?"
At this point, he realized that Ye Qing was right next to him. He subconsciously took two steps to the side before continuing, "I've already given him the case filing receipt. There's no need to ask him to go to the police station."
Zhang Fang shouted, "What do you mean please?"
"Yes, catch!"
"He is suspected in a theft case and is a suspect!"
Fan Liangcai was even more confused.
How did Ye Qing become a suspect from a victim?
Moreover, Zhang Fang used the word "catch" directly, which seemed to indicate that he had confirmed that Ye Qing was the suspect.
He asked, "What kind of theft is this?"
Zhang Fang said impatiently: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
"Just catch someone if I tell you to."
"If Ye Qing dares not to cooperate with the investigation, or even resists, it means he is guilty. You can take necessary measures."
Fan Liangcai frowned, feeling that there was something very wrong here. He didn't want to arrest someone without knowing the reason, so he asked, "Master, you have to tell me something."
"If you arrest someone, you have to tell them why."
"I can't just arrest people for no reason."
Zhang Fang cursed, "You're not doing the job you were asked to do."
"He is suspected of stealing sea cucumbers and abalone farmed by others."
"To determine the specific circumstances, we need to arrest him and bring him to the police station for a thorough interrogation."
Zhang Fang was in a dilemma.
To be honest, he really didn't want to arrest Ye Qing.
He felt Ye Qing was innocent.
But the reality is that he has to listen to Zhang Fang.
After hanging up the phone, he looked up at Ye Qing, and his gaze met Ye Qing's.
He subconsciously avoided the sight.
