"I'd like to arrest all of them."
Cheng Haifeng shrugged. "Unfortunately, the local police are unwilling to cooperate, saying that this kind of thing is too big a deal and that they can at most arrest the perpetrator."
If they really dared to harm the entire village, it would definitely trigger a riot.
The police station was unwilling to take responsibility.
"If they don't dare to take responsibility, then we should report this matter to our superiors."
Peng Shiyu looked displeased. "Don't the higher-ups care? The county doesn't care, the city doesn't care? And the provincial capital doesn't care either?"
"As long as it's reported, someone will definitely be willing to take care of it."
"Innocent."
Cheng Haifeng couldn't help but complain, "If we dared to do this kind of thing on someone else's turf, we wouldn't be coming back alive."
"What's the meaning?"
Peng Shiyu was stunned.
They clearly couldn't understand what he meant by those words.
"They know."
Cheng Haifeng glanced at Yang Shujue and Lin Jingyu, "Tell them to tell you that I'm going to talk to Su Jingtian."
He left quickly after saying those words.
"What happened?"
Peng Shiyu was completely dumbfounded.
Looking at Lin Jingyu and Yang Shuyu with a bewildered expression, he asked, "Am I wrong?"
Yang Shujue smiled frankly, "Your idea is correct, but it's unlikely to be realistic."
"Why?"
Peng Shiyu felt that it was normal for anyone to be arrested for breaking the law, no matter who they were.
Regardless of the number of people, when it's time to arrest them, not a single one should be let go.
"Hey hey~"
Yang Shujue patted her on the shoulder, "The reason why the law does not punish the masses is because the mistakes those people made do not warrant death. Arresting them would be more troublesome and harder to deal with."
The most important people in this village are not just a few, but a dozen or so.
Even if the police and armed forces are dispatched to suppress a few hundred people who start a riot, what good will it do to arrest them?
We can't just kill them all.
"Sentence him, lock him up in jail."
Peng Shiyu muttered, "If they aren't punished properly, who knows how many more people will be trafficked."
Only by cracking down on those who dare not treat people as commodities will human traffickers stop running rampant across the country abducting children.
"Everyone knows the logic, but it's not easy to implement."
Lin Jingyu said softly, "Your idea is correct. In fact, we should severely crack down on those beasts who buy and sell people. Only in this way can we stop these lawless human traffickers from continuing to do evil."
but……
Do you think it's possible to arrest and imprison the entire village?
People in a village must have other relatives. Do you think their relatives would stand idly by and ignore it after hearing about it?
If things get chaotic, it might not just be people from one village; it could be people from several villages coming together.
How big of a fuss do you think things will get?
We can't just arrest all these troublemakers.
"The most important point is, who can guarantee that none of these arrested people have relatives who are officials, right?"
Yang Shujue smiled and continued the conversation, "If your family member encountered this kind of thing, would you help them? Things would only get more and more complicated, and more and more trouble would arise."
The choice is to only arrest the perpetrators and hold them accountable under the law, while letting the other villagers go free to avoid unrest.
This choice is perfectly normal.
"But their attack on and assault of the police is illegal."
Peng Shiyu pursed her lips. "Letting them go will only make them more unruly and less likely to abide by the law."
"This problem cannot be solved in the short term."
Lin Jingyu added, "The police had no choice but to make this decision. After all, if hundreds or thousands of people were to riot, simply suppressing them would only incite public resentment and could potentially result in several deaths."
Who will take responsibility for these lives then?
Should we send police officers to pay for these people's lives?
Most importantly, don't forget that the Japanese devils and their spies are causing trouble all over the country.
If they seize this opportunity, it might lead to even greater unrest.
It will only implicate more innocent people.
"But……"
Peng Shiyu knew they had a point.
Deep down, I still believe that no matter who it is or how many people there are, they should be arrested if they break the law.
"But what is it?!"
Yang Shujue rolled her eyes. "You're not Bao Gong, who can seek justice for everyone in the world."
No one dares to claim they have the ability to solve this kind of problem; perhaps only when the world is at peace will human traffickers be deterred from their rampant activities.
"Shujue is right."
Lin Jingyu nodded in agreement, "When the world is at peace, the country will naturally do its best to crack down on criminals, and the number of people breaking the law will naturally decrease."
Peng Shiyu nodded silently, "I hope to see that day come."
Yang Shujue immediately replied, "Of course, don't worry."
...
School starts again.
Wu Xiaoxiao reappeared at school.
Lin Jingyu and the others were surprised.
When she saw Mu Qiuyue coming to class despite being heavily pregnant, she couldn't help but sneer, "You're too bold. If something happens to you, you'll be crying."
"You can't expect something good to come out of a dog's mouth."
Yang Shujue retorted angrily, "You curse other people's children as soon as you see them, Wu Xiaoxiao, have you lost your mind?"
"Yang Shujue, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Xiaoxiao's face changed drastically with anger, and she shouted, "I kindly reminded her that she should rest at home while she's pregnant. The students at school are still young and like to run around."
"It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin—they don't appreciate a kind heart."
"Bah."
Yang Shujue sneered repeatedly, "You're so kind? If you're so kind, how dare you steal Chen Susu's position?"
