After a delicious meal, Jiayi was still satisfied even though she had a midnight snack.
Leaning against the desk, she rubbed her belly and looked around. Everyone was concentrating on cleaning up all the remaining food and had no time to pay attention to the pure land she was in.
So she suddenly stepped to Brother Yue and said in a low and quick voice: "Thank you, Brother Yue, the big crab is delicious."
"Really? Do you like it?" Fang Zhenyue was drinking hot milk and felt more and more sleepy. Hearing her words, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.
"I like it! Delicious, very full." Jiayi patted her belly, and it made a sound like patting a watermelon.
He twisted her arm to stop her from patting her belly. She had just eaten a full meal, why did she pat her stomach so hard?
"Take a break. I'll take you home once PPRB confirms that there's no problem with the work." He stretched, "I've been doing nothing lately anyway."
Jiayi raised the corners of her lips and secretly watched him stretch his limbs, his sternum raised high, his waist and abdomen tightened, like a wolf ready to pounce. It's
so beautiful.
If she were a painter, she would definitely want to draw such beautiful lines.
...
After the midnight snack, everyone got back to the intense work.
All front-page headlines and column manuscripts must be written and revised before 3 a.m., otherwise they will not be able to make it to the factory for printing.
Everyone was in a hurry, and Nie Weiyan also hurriedly left the police station and returned to the office to work overtime.
Just as everyone was discussing the main idea of a paragraph and the extended meaning of a sentence, and constantly revising the structure and logic of the report, Sanfu suddenly broke into the PPRB office. Everyone
looked up at him, and Jiayi also stood up and asked:
"What happened?"
"Ah-Lian was found." Sanfu walked quickly to Jiayi, handed her a complete transcript, and then continued:
"...In fact, Ah-Lian had difficulty standing up this morning. When she left Lu Weiye's house, she was carried out, and she didn't walk out on her own."
Lu Weiye's wife's confession was completely untrue.
"When we found Ah-Lian, she was alone in a small room, lying on a bed of dirty clothes and debris, with a high fever of 39℃. We immediately took her to the hospital, where we had a medical consultation and injections... The doctor said that there was not a single good spot on her body. There were either wounds that needed stitches or purple bruises. One of her eyes was swollen like a peach due to the injections, and there was a 1 cm cut at the corner of her mouth... We took notes in the hospital only after her fever subsided and she regained consciousness."
Jiayi frowned, and everyone in the office looked gloomy.
No one was ready to hear such a sad story.
Sanfu looked at Jiayi for a few seconds, and his expression became slightly strange. But he changed the subject and said in a deep voice:
"She is willing to cooperate with the police. I have just taken her to the forensic officer for an injury assessment. She is sitting in a wheelchair in the B team office... Ah Lian is willing to sue Lu Weiye... She is also willing to be interviewed by the newspaper, as long as her face is not shown..." "
..." Jiayi's eyes were red, and she turned to look at Guo Yongyao.
Guo Yongyao stood at the door of his office, his mouth was strangely shaped because of the force. He frowned, his eyes were full of determination, and nodded vigorously:
"I will call the newspaper and arrange for a major newspaper to interview Ah Lian.
"...Yi Shazhan! Don't worry! I will do my best!"
…
The next morning, the sun rose, but it still failed to break through the thick fog that had enveloped the city all night.
The sky was gloomy, and the early risers hurried to and fro, shuttling through the fog, like zombies crushed by monsters, their faces full of confusion and fatigue after waking up early.
They all looked the same, as if they were all showing "what kind of expression would a person who is forced to get up early and go home late by life have."
At the entrance of the alley, Gumball held his stool with one hand and supported his small trailer with the other.
Before the newspaper truck arrived, he set up the iron frame and laid out the wooden planks.
When the first newspaper truck arrived, he took a stack of newspapers tied with ropes and instantly bent down deeply under the weight in his hands. Then he slowly turned around and moved back to the newspaper stand step by step. After
sitting back on his stool, he let out a sigh of relief and hammered twice out of habit. He reached behind his waist and took out a pair of scissors from his pocket to cut the rope. At this age, his eyesight had deteriorated and the ropes that tied the newspapers blurred into countless strands in his eyes. He could no longer untie the ropes and had to cut them off with a snap.
The newspapers were spread out on his knees, and then he leaned over and pushed them to fix the position of the newspaper on the stall.
In the next half hour, one newspaper delivery truck after another arrived, and stacks of newspapers were placed on the newspaper stalls. Finally, the newspapers gradually spread out on his knees and were placed on the stalls. The empty wooden shelf gradually became full.
Most of the passers-by were regular customers. They took out the correct amount of banknotes without asking the price and handed them to Forrest Gumper. Without Forrest Gumper doing anything, they took the newspapers they must read every day from the stall.
After seeing off two customers, Forrest Gumper still leaned out to look around.
At this time, a regular customer stood in front of the newspaper stand. He scanned the newspaper stand and his eyes fell on the empty space on it. He asked:
"Why didn't the Daily and Monthly newspapers arrive today? Eh? Not even the Hong Kong News?"
"Yes, half of the newspapers have delayed delivery today. They were delivered at this time in the past, but today it seems that they were printing some major news overnight, so they are late. Take a look at the other newspapers first and wait a while. They will be here soon. "Forrest Gump smiled and said no, and then tried to sell other newspapers to the other party.
At this time, four or five people were already standing in front of the newspaper stall, and they all looked at the end of the road with Forrest Gump, but the heavy fog blocked people's vision, and no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't see through.
Everyone had to buy another newspaper first, and read it while waiting for other newspapers that had not been delivered yet.
A tall and thin man opened the newly bought Laogang Daily, and saw the headline typed in bold:
[Police accuses good people of blackmail, all because bad people bribed, good people did not give money]
The content mentioned a major event that happened in Hong Kong yesterday. The police went out to seal an old mahjong parlor and arrested a wealthy man, Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu is a well-known philanthropist and a charitable person. Not only does he like to donate money for big and small things, he is also a good boss respected by his subordinates and a good husband loved by his wife.
Such a person was actually slandered by the police as a murderer, all because when the police blackmailed Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu refused such behavior uprightly, which led to the disaster.
After the exaggeration, there was another speech by Mr. Bai, a subordinate of Mr. Lu. Mr. Bai, who did not want to reveal his name, said that they would give evidence to the Independent Commission Against Corruption and would definitely restore clarity and justice to the world.
--Last night, after Lawyer Hu met with Wang Ting and Mr. Bai, they discussed a countermeasure. First, they gave money to the newspaper industry to grab public opinion and put pressure on the police, and then they found Uncle Ye, who had been thinking about countermeasures all night, to discuss the next plan.
This strategy was immediately effective. Several people standing in front of the newspaper stand read newspapers and discussed with each other.
"The police are becoming more and more lawless now."
"They are eating the corpses!"
"What's so strange about this? It's an old routine. Haven't you heard of that saying? The Hong Kong police are the biggest dictatorship in Hong Kong!"
"But they kill the rich man's wallets. Does this count as robbing the rich to help the poor?"
"Robbing the rich is true, but how can they help the poor? You're dreaming! Of course they put all the money into their own pockets."
At the same time, similar scenes were played out in front of countless newspaper stands and newspaper stalls in Hong Kong.
Some people bought newspapers but didn't have time to wait for other newspapers to be delivered. They hurriedly took the newspapers that slandered the police and promoted Mr. Lu and got on the Dingdang car to go to work.
They opened the newspapers on the Dingdang car and frowned more and more as they read. Is there such a thing in the world? The police are too abominable!
They read the newspaper while walking, and they couldn't help swearing while reading, and they felt indignant.
They read the newspaper in the taxi, and when they saw the exciting part, they couldn't help but read it to the taxi driver. After discussing and cursing, the customer got off the car, and another customer got on the car. The driver told the new customer the news...
Public opinion is best at spreading rumors, confusing people with filth and making the streets and alleys stink.
...
The public discussion is getting more and more heated.
Three newspapers jointly criticized the police for their unfair treatment of Mr. Lu and demanded an explanation from the police. Among them, the "Daily News" had a considerable number of reprints. It can be imagined that when the rush hour comes, it will inevitably set off a greater wave of public opinion.
The minute hand runs fast, and the hour hand strides forward.
The whole city gradually became noisy. More and more people woke up, put on clothes that represented their identities, and rushed to their posts to contribute to the prosperity of the city.
When the sun became brighter, the tram broke through the fog, and the crowds took to the streets. The late vans finally arrived one by one, and newspapers that still exuded the smell of ink were brought out and placed on the empty spaces of the newsstands and kiosks.
The Sun and Moon News came! The Orange Daily News came! The Entertainment Weekly came! The Hong Kong News also came...
After placing these newspapers, Forrest Gumper picked up a copy of the Hong Kong News
. The headlines published several particularly shocking photos - it was a close-up of a wounded woman with wounds on her mouth, eyes, arms, legs, back, etc.
The newspaper did not publish the woman's face or name, but it told her tragic experience of stepping into the Hong Kong River in ignorance and falling into the abyss in the blink of an eye.
When the public saw these injuries belonged to a corpse, everyone sighed and said it was tragic, but the person who suffered these injuries was still alive, and the public could not help but start to speculate, how difficult it must be for such a young woman who should have been blooming like a flower to suffer such pain. How will she recover in the future? How to face this memory with strength? How to welcome the future life?
Everyone has sisters, wives, daughters, and mothers. How can you tolerate the beasts and demons lurking in the "home" where you live that will harm women like this?
While reading the newspaper, Forrest Gump slapped his thigh in anger. Originally sitting there leisurely, now he stood up in anger and angrily scolded the evil man with the neighbors and old friends in the opposite shop.
The old man's rudeness was the best, revealing the most primitive flavor, and he scolded the murderer Mr. Lu's eighteen generations of ancestors. The old man didn't care about any reason, he just wanted to scold you, and he wanted to punish nine or ten clans!
Passing by office workers heard the discussion of the angry passers-by, and became curious, so they rushed to buy newspapers.
Newsstand owners who had seen the articles in the official newspapers with pictures and evidence and understood the facts, all suppressed the crappy newspapers that distorted the facts and praised Mr. Lu, and recommended the newspapers such as "Sun and Moon Daily", "Green Orange Daily", "Hong Kong News" and other newspapers that published the kneeling corpse case and Lu Weiye's rape case to their customers.
So, in the blink of an eye, public opinion changed.
Whether pedestrians knew him or not, when they saw the people around them reading the same news while waiting for the red light, they would scold Lu Weiye, the incompetent street kid!
Those who saw the news praising Mr. Lu were just about to chat with their colleagues who arrived late about the police investigation, but before they could even open their mouths, they were overwhelmed by a few new newspapers and a few freshly published news, which overturned their three views.
Damn! How could this happen? Mr. Lu himself is a beast, and he dares to cry wolf? *^%;&$￥* (several swear words omitted here)
It turns out that
public opinion can also seek truth from facts, turn into a sharp sword, and restore justice to the world!
...
The huge mansion that Lawyer Hu bought with the money he earned from Lu Weiye is bright and clean.
Hu Zhongwang and his family wore the most comfortable and gorgeous silk pajamas, lay on the softest mattress, covered with a soft and warm down quilt, and slept so sweetly and had endless dreams.
In the entertainment headlines that had just been published, a situation completely different from this was described. It was the situation of Mr. Lu, who was protected by Hu Zhongwang with what he had learned, and Ah Lian, who had been "taken care of":
[The police rushed into the old house where Ah Lian was resettled by Lu Mouye in Sham Shui Po. The rascals were crowded on the old sofa, drinking and playing games. They were smoking and swearing, and from time to time they kicked the empty bottles at their feet away, making a ping-pong sound. The smell of alcohol, cigarettes, smelly socks, sewers, sour sweat and a faint fishy smell filled the whole house.
When the police subdued the fleeing bastards and pushed open the storage room in the darkest corner, they found Ah-Lian, who was feverish, on a broken single bed with several broken boards, among a pile of smelly socks, smelly underwear and sour clothes. At that time, her head was resting on a dirty ashtray, and her lower body was naked with only a torn piece of clothing covering her. She had been tortured before being sent to this house, and what kind of treatment was imposed on her after coming here...】
Ah Lian, the weakest person who had no power to resist, finally told the media and the police about her experience, which made Hu Zhongwang unable to sleep in the morning.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, the doorbell of Hu Zhongwang's house kept ringing, accompanied by the anxious punching and kicking, making the originally quiet home a mess.
Hu Zhongwang put on his slippers, endured the sudden panic, and quickly went to the door to check.
Seeing that it was Mr. Bai, Uncle Gu, Wang Ting and others who came to visit in person, he quickly opened the door and the anti-theft fence.
"What happened?" Hu Zhongwang invited several of Uncle Ye's stewards in, and turned to go to the kitchen to pour tea for them, but was pulled to the table by Wang Ting.
Mr. Bai put a stack of newspapers on the table and said sullenly:
"You said yesterday that Uncle Ye didn't tell you anything, and told you not to do anything after you came back?"
"...Yes, what's wrong?" Hu Zhongwang wiped his face and wanted to tidy up the newspaper in his hand and read it carefully. Suddenly, his eyes caught the words "Lu Mou has confessed everything" on it. He was so shocked that he didn't care about the neatness of the newspaper, and hurriedly unfolded the paper and read it.
A few minutes later, Lawyer Hu had a dark face and slapped his thigh in frustration: "No wonder."
"No wonder what?" Mr. Bai asked.
"No wonder Uncle Ye looks so weird, it turns out he confessed!" Lawyer Hu's forehead veins popped up, and he thought of a lot of things at once. The more he thought, the more frightened he became, and the darker his face became.
"How do you know it wasn't Qi Zhe and the others who confessed?" Wang Ting asked with a frown, rubbing
a corner of the newspaper with his fingers. "Since Uncle Ye is so weird, something must have happened. If this is 'he knew Qi Zhe confessed', why didn't he let me contact you and try to bribe the people in the police station to create an opportunity to silence Qi Zhe?
"Uncle Ye didn't say anything, it must be because he confessed under certain circumstances, and he needs to think carefully about how to deal with it, and...how to explain to us."
Lawyer Hu flipped through several other newspapers and pointed at the newspapers with his fingers:
"Qi Zhe doesn't know these things!
"Big-eyed cat Bai Shuangyin just opened a mahjong parlor under Uncle Ye, he probably doesn't know about it..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Wang Ting and the others fell silent.
Confessing as soon as he entered the police station, such a shameful thing, if Uncle Ye really did it, it would be reasonable to have such a reaction...
But why would Uncle Ye confess?
This was originally the most unlikely thing to happen, unless Uncle Ye encountered a situation where he had to confess.
If such a situation happened, then... they might be in danger.
Could it be O?
Could it be that the police have been secretly setting up a big chess game, and they didn't hear a word of it...
The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and the more anxious they became.
Mr. Bai couldn't sit still anymore, and he was the first to stand up.
"I'm going to go back and burn all the account books and hide the goods. You guys should go back and prepare as well." While Mr. Bai was speaking, he had already walked to the door, and he pushed the door open and left without even turning his head.
The other people looked at each other, said they were all well, and left one after another.
In just a moment, the united alliance collapsed, and everyone's mind was no longer about how to get Uncle Ye out, but how to save themselves.
Should they escape quickly, or take the opportunity to replace Uncle Ye, or cooperate with the big guys who have been eyeing Uncle Ye's industry... At this moment, even Wang Ting, Uncle Gu and others who had been in and out together in the past few years have become opponents and enemies, and naturally it is impossible for them to work together to discuss countermeasures.
Now, this is a situation of internal strife, and everyone has their own ulterior motives.
...
On this day, many people gathered outside the police station.
These people blocked the passageway for the police to go to work. They held banners and paper signs with the words [Eliminate the drug trafficking gangs and restore peace to Hong Kong] [Drug dealers go to jail, young people welcome Double New Year with health!] [Lu Mou’s gang will never be reborn (skull) (skull)] [Rapists must be brought to justice! Heavy punishment!]...
When Dang Jiayi rode past the gate of the police station, she saw this group of angry citizens.
She stomped her feet on the ground, listening to the citizens shouting slogans, shaking protest signs and call signs, and saw colleagues from the public relations department coming out to appease the people... The calm mood gradually surged.
The most inflammatory thing in the world is always justice.
