Chapter 2921 Interrogation Three
Bai Shan finished his meal and gave the bowl to Xi Bing to take back. He continued to sit on the doorstep and talk to Zhou Man, "County Lieutenant Dong is back. He has arrested three people, but he can't catch the remaining five."
He tilted his head to look at the street and said, "I think it will be difficult to catch them with the soldiers. Since there are so many people watching, we might as well use them."
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, "Use it!"
Bai Shan stood up and said, "I'll go to open the hall first."
Because there are too many suspects, the officials in the county government only have 25 minutes for lunch these days.
Bai Shan took a sip of strong tea and was instantly awakened by the bitter taste. He shook his head and went to the front yamen.
Zhou Man watched him leave and ran to find Wen Tiandong, "Is there anyone else seeking medical treatment?"
Wen Tiandong said: "No more in the afternoon."
There are some people coming to their clinic for medical treatment now, but they all come in the morning. There is basically no one in the afternoon.
Zhou Man immediately said, "Let's move the tables and chairs to the gate of the county government office and hold a free clinic there to promote our medical department."
Wen Tiandong: "...Isn't this bad?"
"What's wrong with that? There are so many people coming here now, not just from Beihai County, but also from other counties. If we build up our reputation, it will be much easier for our medical department to promote it there in the future." Zhou Man said, "There are only two of us in our medical department. Do you really want it to take six months like other medical departments to get things up and running?"
She said, "With so many of us, we should be at least three or four times faster than others, right?"
Wen Tiandong: ...Wouldn’t it be just one more person in their medical department?
But isn't that because the master is ambitious and wants to open three medical offices in Qingzhou? They win by numbers, how can they turn to finding a way to win by time?
Zhou Man had already called the helpers from the medical office and said, "Hurry up and get moving! Bring over the medicine boxes, tables, chairs, and benches, as well as our free clinic banner. Leave one person here to watch over the house. If any patients come, please find us at the county government office gate."
It’s not far anyway, I can get there in a short run.
Bai Shan didn't know that his wife had also come to join in the fun. He looked at the list, checked a name, and asked the bailiff to bring the person up.
Sun Wuyi knelt down and started crying, crying loudly and a little excitedly, "Sir, sir, I am innocent, just like Brother Dajing."
Ever since Bai Shan let the first person go, everyone in the prison knew that anyone who was innocent could be released.
Those who were falsely accused have been trying to get away with it since then, while those who were truly wronged are hoping to be brought to trial as soon as possible.
Sun Wu didn’t know how many other people in prison were wrongly accused, but he was truly wronged.
He looked at Bai Shan expectantly, hoping that he would see the sincerity in his eyes and let him go.
Bai Shan only saw the tears and snot on his face, barely keeping his gaze from looking away, and asked, "You said you were wronged, but someone reported your name."
"They're talking nonsense!" Sun Wu yelled, "They're just dragging someone else down with them. They never even played with me before."
Bai Shan looked at him carefully and recognized that he was arrested at Dongyu Zhuang. He was stunned for a moment when he was arrested.
Bai Shan asked, "Then tell me where you were and what you did from last year's Mid-Autumn Festival until the New Year. I want to check it out."
Sun Wu also knew the process. Bai Shan would send someone to investigate. Da Jing was brought in for interrogation and was released two days later.
So he had already thought it through in prison. He said, "I'm lazy, so I didn't do anything. I didn't go anywhere. I just stayed at home. Really, I hardly left the village."
Bai Shan flipped through the testimonies of the previous suspects and sneered, "But someone said that last year on Double Ninth Festival, you and him stole the Chen family's chickens and cooked them in the wild. I left a question for you at the time. If the chickens were stolen, how did you get the iron pot?"
Sun Wu's body stiffened. Chen Danong, who had been summoned by Bai Shan, immediately said, "Sir, they stole it. They not only stole my pot, but also my oil and salt. They looted almost everything in the kitchen."
Chen Danong is a farmer in Chenjia Village, but he lives a good life. Not only does he have a big house made of blue bricks and tiles, he also has a guard dog at home.
Chen Danong wept, "They also drugged my dog Wangcai to death, then jumped over the wall to steal things. When they were discovered, they hit me with a stone and stole my chicken and pot."
Bai Shan asked Sun Wu, "You said that?"
Sun Wu lowered his head and said, "Yes, it was a few of us who did it, but I didn't go to rob Xiao Liu Village."
Bai Shan slammed the gavel, "Robbing Chenjia Village is not robbery, is it? Why don't you confess the truth? What else have you done?"
Sun Wu did not participate in the looting of Xiaoliu Village, but he often caused trouble to the village.
Bai Shan did not announce the verdict immediately, but wanted to send someone to check it, so he had him taken away and announced the next one.
The next one was Sun Wu's brother, Sun San. As soon as he came up, he fell to his knees and cried bitterly, "Sir, sir, I am innocent. I am really innocent. It's true!"
Bai Shan was already numb and asked, "Tell me, how were you wronged?"
Sun San was quiet for a moment, and finally said cautiously: "I didn't rob Xiao Liu Village, nor did I steal other people's things. Really, I dare to swear."
Bai Shan flipped through the testimony book in his hand and found that no one had confessed to Sun San. So he looked through the list given by Jia Lichang and couldn't help asking Jia Lichang, "Why do you think he was involved?"
Also taken back to the county yamen by County Lieutenant Dong, Jia Lichang, who had been asked to sit in on the proceedings, suddenly came to his senses. He glanced at Sun San and said, "I've heard that the third and fifth of the five Sun brothers are often thieves, and most of the people employed by Jia Dalang are like that."
Before Bai Shan could say anything, Sun San had already shouted: "I didn't, I didn't touch the dog, I, I stole a chicken at most, usually I steal more vegetables."
Bai Shan: ...
The crowd also burst into laughter. Bai Shan looked around and couldn't find anyone else to pull him over, so he asked, "What were you doing during last year's Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Sun San: "I didn't go anywhere. I was in the village. Many people can testify that we were watching the moon under a big tree in the village and shared two big pancakes."
"What about November 21st last year?" That was the day when Xiaoliu Village was robbed.
Sun San looked confused and obviously didn't remember this day which was not special to him at all.
Bai Shan said slowly, "Three days before the Little New Year."
Sun San touched his head uncertainly and said, "I, I went to Chen's house to steal chickens?"
Bai Shan asked curiously, "Does the Chen family have a grudge against yours? Why do you brothers all go to the Chen family to steal chickens?"
Sun San said confidently, "The Chen family is the richest family in our area except for the village head's family. Who else should we steal from?"
Bai Shan nodded to show that he understood, feeling very emotional. Fortunately, there were no such things in Qili Village. His family was one of the richest families in Qili Village back then and had never been robbed.
