Big Beard and the others hurried back home and recounted what had happened to Chu Beichen. "Asan has been taken away now. According to the police procedures, he will be tried next. With the store owner's confession, Asan should be sentenced!"
Chu Beichen frowned, "This is obviously a trap. We can't explain it now even if we have the right reason. How about this, let's go find out and see how this matter will be handled next!"
Chu Beichen said hello to Su Nian and hurriedly set off with his men.
Su Nian was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry when looking at the backs of these people. She had originally planned to say goodbye to Big Beard and the others today, but now it seemed like she couldn't leave!
Chu Beichen and his men hurried to the Imperial Palace and found the police who had arrested people. When they asked about Asan, these people said with regret that Asan had been temporarily arrested and was going to be tried tomorrow.
"Captain Chu, we are also very sorry about this matter. The main reason is that the owner of that store has been keeping a close eye on us and complaining about us, and we have no way to make any concessions!" The arresting policeman was very kind.
Chu Beichen also understood the logic here, nodded at him, ran to the place where Asan was imprisoned to take a look, asked someone to send some food to Asan, and then left.
Big Beard and the others were not satisfied with the result, and followed Chu Beichen to ask him how he could just let it go.
Chu Beichen smiled and said, "Let's not forget about this. What else do you want? Are you going to rush in and rob people?"
"Don't you see? The key issue right now isn't with the police, but with the store owner! It was the store owner who falsely accused Ah San. If he doesn't sue, Ah San will naturally be released!"
When everyone thought about it, they realized that this was exactly the case!
"Then what should we do next? Should we go find the store owner?" The bearded man asked Chu Beichen uncertainly.
"Of course. After we find him, we'll ask him who instructed him to do this. If the other party can give us benefits, we can also give them!" Chu Beichen replied indifferently.
Big Beard and the others suddenly realized what was going on, and remembering that the owner was not there, they followed Chu Beichen and offered suggestions, and soon they arrived at the place where the owner opened the shop.
Everyone watched from a distance and saw that the store was indeed locked.
Chu Beichen took out some change and distributed it to everyone, "Take this money to the shop next door and buy some things you need. By the way, chat with the shop owner and see how much he knows about this shop!"
Everyone suddenly realized that they didn't know the situation of the store owner, but the colleagues around them must know. With so many people asking together, they would definitely be able to find out something valuable.
Everyone took their change and dispersed.
It turns out that when we were in the cedar forest, everyone bartered and could only meet the minimum living standard. Occasionally eating snacks was a luxury.
Now that I have arrived in the South Bank, the level of supplies is much richer than before. I can buy things like tobacco, liquor, and candy with just some change.
Now Big Beard and others have finally realized the benefits of money.
After a few minutes, everyone completed their task and returned to their original place.
Chu Beichen summarized the information everyone had received one by one. It turned out that the store owner lived not far away and his home was nearby.
There was a candy shop owner who even kindly pointed out directions, and everyone quickly found the shop owner's home based on the information.
Big Beard and the others had seen the shop owner before, so they waited nearby and soon caught him when he went out.
Being held down by several large men, the shop owner was startled and begged incoherently, "Don't hurt me, I was only following other people's instructions!"
The bearded man was amused when he heard this. This shop owner was really honest. The so-called confession without being asked probably refers to his situation.
"Tell me quickly, whose instructions did you follow? Otherwise, I will be rude to you!" The bearded man winked at his men.
The villagers were all in sync and exerted force together. The shop owner, who was about to take ruthless action because they could no longer hold back, quickly said, "He is also one of your colleagues, Shi Kun!"
When the villagers heard this familiar name, they were stunned.
People from the Cedar Forest are relatively simple. Although they have had conflicts with Shi Kun, they have never thought that he would take the opportunity to stab them in the back.
"Let's go settle the score with this damn guy!" The bearded man was so angry that he turned around and prepared to find Shi Kun.
Chu Beichen grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, we have to settle the account, but our priority is not to find him, but to get Ah San out first!"
"Yeah..." The bearded man touched his head embarrassedly, realizing that he was being reckless.
Chu Beichen said to the shop owner, "You are framing our people by doing this. I want to know what benefits Shi Kun gave you to allow you to slander others with such open mouths?"
The shop owner was very embarrassed. "Shikun promised to take care of my business in the future. If I don't, he will make things difficult for me!"
Chu Beichen thought for a moment, "If you're willing to go with us to the Imperial Palace and tell us what you said, Shi Kun will probably no longer be able to be a patrol officer. Then he won't be a threat to you, and we will become your friends. What do you think?"
This proposal is indeed tempting.
Under the current circumstances, the shop owner certainly cannot continue to slander Asan according to Shikun's instructions. If he does so, he will definitely offend Shikun.
Then the business of the store will definitely be troubled by Shi Kun in the future.
If he did as Chu Beichen said, he would just bring Shi Kun down. Without his identity as a police inspector, he would not be able to make things difficult for the store owner in the future.
And by doing so, you can also gain the attention of people like Chu Beichen.
Both positive and negative aspects show that switching sides can bring more benefits.
The shop owner gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do what you say, but you have to promise to protect me if Shikun gives me trouble in the future!"
The bearded man led a group of his men and they all promised with confidence.
Everyone walked towards the palace together.
When he arrived at the imperial palace, he happened to meet the person in charge, and Chu Beichen quickly stepped forward to explain the situation.
Forcing outsiders to frame colleagues is a terrible thing!
The person in charge frowned, turned around and ordered his men, "Go find Shikun!"
Shi Kun was soon called over. When he saw Chu Beichen, the shop owner and others were present, his face turned pale.
In front of Shi Kun, the shop owner told him the whole process of Shi Kun threatening him, and added, "When he did this, his men were with him. If you don't believe it, you can ask his men!"
The evidence was irrefutable. Faced with the irrefutable evidence, Shi Kun was terrified and his face turned pale, not knowing what to say.
