Injuring someone is a serious matter, but robbery will get you in trouble.
Wu Fengshou looked at the situation with a heavy expression for a while, then hurriedly ran to the production team to report the situation.
He then immediately sent his son to the county health station that very night to find a doctor.
Please, please don't let anyone die.
When Chen Gang learned of this, his expression also turned serious.
As expected, the county's education conference was right; once someone seeks personal gain, such heinous incidents will occur one after another.
During the day, Miao Qingsong came to him crying and complaining about how his rabbits and fish had been stolen.
Not only Miao Qingsong, but Miao Wang's house was also burgled, as was Wang Junjun's.
It was obvious that these four families were being watched while hunting.
"Hold a meeting, hold a meeting overnight."
Chen Gang did not let his guard down; he feared that if he delayed any longer, the thieves might escape.
More than 150 households in the village, wearing padded coats and rubbing their hands, came to the brigade canteen overnight.
They grumbled and complained because their sleep was disturbed.
Lin Mo then came over as well.
Fortunately, my mother is not seriously injured. She was just frozen and her scalp was broken from a blow, but her head is fine.
Chen Gang, with a cold face, reprimanded the villagers:
"In just one day, a theft occurred in the village, along with a robbery and assault!"
"Let me make this clear: whoever did this, step forward now! Otherwise, the village can't resolve this privately!"
"If we wait for people from the county to investigate and they find out, it'll be a fatal situation, like being shot at!"
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently! Resist and you'll be punished severely!"
Chen Gang's stern reprimand only amplified the murmurs in the nearly two-hundred-person canteen.
The villagers turned their heads and whispered to the people next to them.
"Anyway, it wasn't us who did it. Whoever did it should turn themselves in right away, so as not to disturb people's sleep."
"It's so annoying. Why can't we wait until daytime to talk about it? Why do you have to drag people out of bed in the middle of the night?"
"Oh, that's right. We can talk about it during the day. It's freezing in the middle of the night in late autumn."
Complaints arose, and Chen Gang was seething with anger:
"What! You can't speak human language anymore, huh?!"
"A person almost died! Is your sleep more important than a human life?!"
Having reached this conclusion about the villagers, Chen Gang initially concluded that the criminal must be one of the selfish villagers, or even several of them.
At this moment, Lin Mo also realized something.
He could understand the villagers' complaints, because it was indeed cold in late autumn.
But Chen Gang's words are not quite right.
Why does it sound like the villagers were definitely the ones who did this bad thing?
Looking around, all that could be seen were the villagers who had been dragged over overnight for a large meeting; the dozen or so educated youth who had come down from the city were nowhere to be seen.
"Captain Chen, why didn't you call those educated youths over for the meeting?" Lin Mo asked coldly.
Chen Gang squinted at him coldly:
“The educated youth were all educated people; they would never do such a thing. There’s no need to call over someone who isn’t a suspect.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo laughed in exasperation.
Because his opinion was exactly the opposite of Chen's.
He knew all too well what kind of person Xu Zhenting was, and what kind of person Jiang Ying was.
Earlier, these bastards in human skin tried to steal his roasted rabbit halfway there.
Even without evidence, he believed that Xu Zhenting and his ilk were more suspicious.
"You mean that people like us who haven't been to school are bound to steal?" Lin Mo asked directly, without beating around the bush.
As soon as these words were spoken, the sleepy and listless villagers gradually came to their senses.
"Oh yeah, hey Captain, what do you mean? Are you implying that all of us rough, uncultured farmers are definitely dishonest?" Wang's father was the first to object.
"Why do you assume we're like that? You're looking down on us! You've gone too far!"
Miao Qingsong also disagreed:
"Captain, our villagers are so honest and kind, aren't you being really hurtful with those words?"
“The fish we caught today were also caught by our hardworking villagers, and we generously shared them with the whole village.”
“When transporting fish, the uncles and aunts in the village have plenty of opportunities to steal fish, but no one secretly pockets fish.”
"Just because we haven't gone to school and we're not from the city, does that mean we're inferior?"
Amidst the commotion, the villagers' spittle flew towards Chen Gang.
Chen Gang laughed in exasperation.
Seeing Miao Qingsong's face flushed red with anger, and him raising his voice to express his dissatisfaction to Chen Gang, Lin Mo moved over, tugged at Miao Qingsong's coat, and whispered in his ear:
“Making a fuss won’t work. We’ll make a fuss later and get Chen Gang to call all the educated youth over for a meeting. While they’re all here, go look around their dormitories.”
"That's a great idea!" Miao Qingsong immediately exclaimed again.
"We refuse to accept this! Why can't we call them over to prove their innocence as well!"
"They must also come to this conference!"
"You can't look down on us farmers like that!"
Chen Gang was at a loss; he shouted for silence for a long time, but his voice couldn't reach the ears of the clamoring villagers.
The only option was to go to the educated youth dormitory and call those dozen or so educated youth over for a meeting.
At this moment, Wu Fengshou, the village chief who always liked to observe secretly, quietly moved behind Lin Mo.
He craned his neck to listen to what he was whispering in Miao Qingsong's ear.
“Especially that Xu Zhenting, and Liang Zhenguo, they thoroughly searched under the bed and in the cabinets.”
"Okay, I'll have Awang come with me to sneak over."
After vaguely hearing what the two were discussing, the village chief coughed.
"No matter how many people you bring, it won't matter. I'll go with you."
Looking back, Lin Mo saw the village chief and heard his words. He thought to himself that the village chief did have some ideas.
Indeed, the village chief is highly respected in the village. If he really discovers something, these few hotheads and peasants might not be able to out-argue those educated people from the city.
