Chapter 524 Nothing Gained
According to the laws of Qinghua Country, reclaiming wasteland is allowed. But you can't force the security team to take on responsibilities that don't belong to them.
Without the police saying anything, the group of people gathered at the door of the security room knew what they had done wrong. Their faces turned red and they lowered their heads.
Chen Shunwei felt that he was really unlucky to run into this group of people who didn't know what was going on. He turned his head to look at the police, who nodded slightly and said, "Let's go to the scene and see what's going on."
Although they didn't want to pay any attention to these troublemakers, they still needed to investigate since someone's things were lost.
Seeing this, Chen Shunwei followed. Although it was confirmed that it had nothing to do with their security team, he still wanted to find out what was going on.
He took the police to the back hill of Green Lemon Mountain, and along the way he told them that they would come here to patrol several times a day.
"Aren't you afraid of impetigo?" the policeman asked in surprise.
Chen Shunwei smiled bitterly, "This is our job. How can we ignore the safety of the owner's life and property just because we are afraid of impetigo?"
The policeman gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are all great!" He has a colleague who lives in this community and has heard about the public security here.
Chen Shunwei shook his head. "I don't deserve it. We just got the impetus disease without any precautions. We don't care whether it's mild or severe."
The policeman smiled and said, "It's enough. Many people choose to stay at home or stay out at night because the sunlight outside has changed. Only you dare to walk around outside in broad daylight."
"How can we not take a walk? We are paid for this. You came out in the hot sun, too."
Chen Shunwei was a little embarrassed, and then he pointed with his chin at the group of people leading the way in front of him, and said softly: "They are really brave. They don't need to patrol, but they still come out in broad daylight. If they hadn't told me not to steal food, I wouldn't have believed it. Who is so brave in broad daylight?"
Chen Shunwei was so busy talking that he didn't notice that the police officer next to him was silent. After a long while, the other party said, "In fact, there have been quite a lot of food thefts recently. Many people took advantage of the fact that there were few people working in the fields during the day to steal food."
Chen Shunwei was dumbfounded. "Doesn't every household have land? Is it necessary to take such a big risk to steal?"
The policeman chuckled, "In the last days, who would complain about having too much food?"
"But, isn't it time to harvest the wheat in this field? Moreover, doesn't the new law of the alliance say that stealing food is a felony?" Chen Shunwei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
The policeman gave Chen Shunwei a meaningful look and said, "Maybe it's because of the high returns that some people are willing to take risks."
Chen Shunwei was silent, thinking that what the other party said made sense. However, this was not the end of the world, was there any need to do this? Obviously, he could survive by working hard on the land.
But he didn't know that among these petty thieves, except for some who were really lazy and greedy, the rest did these illegal things because they discovered the crisis hidden in the stability.
If the world is peaceful, they are law-abiding citizens. But now that they have been discovered...if they don't take some special measures, they may not be able to survive.
The group of people finally reached the back of Qingning Mountain. Chen Shunwei was relieved to see that the land he was protecting was still green. Then he followed the leader around for almost half an hour before reaching the place where they were clearing land.
Now, only rotten leaves remain on the cultivated land. Not only the pioneers, but also Chen Shunwei and the police are heartbroken.
"I thought there was no vegetables at home, so I came here to pick a couple of bunches of lettuce, but who would have thought that not only had all the vegetables in the garden been picked, but even the sweet potato vines had been thrown away. You know, we've only been planting for a month and a half, and nothing has grown underneath. Those damn people are trying to kill us!"
As he spoke, he began to cry. If his cries were of anger and resentment when he was causing trouble for Chen Shunwei, now they were tears of despair.
The others also wiped their tears, "That's right, when Brother Lin saw this, he quickly notified the few of us who were working on the land together. When we came over to take a look, everything was gone. At that moment, we were so angry that we went to the security team to ask for an explanation."
Although the police expressed sympathy for their plight, they still said something fair, "This is none of the security team's business. You did not report the land reclamation, and it is not within their scope of responsibility. Why do you want them to compensate you? Could it be that you can't find the murderer and want to find someone to take the blame?"
They were a little embarrassed to be exposed by the police, but they still argued: "We think that this place belongs to Qingning Mountain no matter what, and Qingning Mountain belongs to Qingyu Community. Even if we didn't ask them, they still have the responsibility to protect the safety of our land."
The policeman was so angry that he almost laughed. He pointed at this group of shameless people and said, "Go back and learn about the relevant land policies before you say this. People haven't blamed you for reclaiming wasteland on their land, but you are so confident that you are criticizing them. You can't behave like this.
Of course, whether it is legal for you to open up wasteland here is up to the relevant departments to judge. Let’s not talk about that today. What’s important now is to investigate the traces at the scene and try to find the thief.”
Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, the policeman changed the subject and said, "But don't hold out too much hope. After all, there are no surveillance cameras here, and it will be difficult for us to find it. In the end, there is a high possibility that nothing will be found."
It's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, but it's really hard to take care of it. If a theft happened in the city center, with the current technology, it would be possible to find the criminal. But although this is not the suburbs, it is also a remote mountain area, so it's really not easy to find the criminal.
So I don’t say everything I want to say, for fear of being slapped in the face in the end.
The expressions of the crowd changed from expectation to disappointment, and then to despair. They knew it was difficult to find the murderer, otherwise they would not have encouraged each other to cause trouble for the security team.
The police ignored them and walked straight to the land that had been ruined. They squatted down to check the footprints left on the ground, but they were a bit messy and not very clear.
Yes, although it had rained heavily before, it had also been exposed to the sun for several days. The moisture in the ground had almost evaporated, and it was dry and shaky, so there was no way it could leave a deep mark.
What's more, these victims did not protect the scene immediately, so even if they wanted to investigate, they would not be able to find out anything.
In desperation, the group of people had to leave.
