Sometimes she would flip through a few pages, but I don't know if she actually understood anything.
Now, faced with Maodouhua's accusations, she simply looked at Maodouhua calmly, without offering any explanation for herself.
Maodouhua berated Yang Wanwan for a long time, and when she found no one speaking, she assumed everyone was shocked by her revelation of the truth. She concluded smugly, "Tell me, isn't Yang Wanwan an ingrate? We feed her, we clothe her, and she doesn't appreciate it at all, instead she slanders us! In the past, someone like that should have been drowned! She's brought shame to the family, shame to our Fuxing Reservoir Village! Now, I don't even dare to say she's my niece when I go out; I'm afraid I can't bear the shame!"
Luo Zhijie suddenly said to Xiao Zhou, "Is everyone here?"
Xiao Zhou said, "It's all done."
"Then you can do it."
Director Qiao and Xiao Zhou: "Okay!"
Director Qiao said to Yang Youneng, "Are you Yang Yixuan's father?"
Yang Youneng nodded.
Director Qiao then asked Maodouhua, "Are you Yang Yixuan's mother?"
Maodouhua paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, I'm not her mother, so who is?"
Director Qiao nodded to Xiao Zhou, then said to Yang Youneng, "We are from Qingshan Town Police Station. We are here today to investigate Yang Yixuan for stealing Kuang Jie's Parker pen and then falsely accusing Yang Wanwan of theft. Now, we will begin the investigation. Please cooperate."
Director Qiao is in his forties; he's been through thick and thin and is a seasoned veteran.
Although he knew that Luo Zhijie was very different from people like himself after spending so much time with him, he still managed to figure something out from Luo Zhijie's behavior just now.
Actually, today's case is very simple. Anyone with eyes can see at a glance that Yang Yixuan slandered Yang Wanwan.
Luo Zhijie is making such a big fuss, it's probably to support Yang Wanwan.
Therefore, Director Qiao's words are tantamount to convicting Yang Yixuan.
Yang Youneng had been listening to Maodouhua listing all sorts of faults about Yang Wanwan and hadn't reacted yet, so he said blankly, "Didn't my wife just make it very clear? This pen was stolen by Yang Wanwan, and she's slandering my daughter Yang Yixuan."
Director Qiao was utterly defeated by him, saying, "Whatever your wife says goes, what do you need us for?"
Yang Youneng: ...
That seems to make sense.
Maodouhua protested, "Yang Wanwan clearly stole that pen, so why bother investigating? Just take her away! In my opinion, she should be locked up for a year or two to teach her what happens when you falsely accuse others! She's an ungrateful wretch with no parents!"
Chief Qiao was already thoroughly disgusted by Mao Douhua's performance, and upon hearing this, his tone was equally unpleasant: "Do you think the police station is your private property? You think you can just say whatever you want? If you keep spouting nonsense, we'll lock you up for obstructing official business! Xiao Zhou, the handcuffs!"
Xiao Zhou then took out handcuffs and said, "We are conducting an on-site investigation. If anyone obstructs us, we can handcuff them first!"
Maodouhua's expression changed, and she finally realized that things were not as she thought at all. She quickly turned her gaze to Yang Youneng.
Yang Youneng hurriedly took out a lighter and cigarettes, trying to light them for Director Qiao, while saying with a smile, "Director Qiao, Director Qiao, look, we're just farmers, we don't understand these things. Have a cigarette to calm down, calm down."
Director Qiao waved his hand and knocked the cigarette away; he was genuinely angry.
He already knew that Yang Youneng was Yang Dali's brother, and he also had some personal connections with Yang Dali, considering him a clever man. How could he have imagined that Yang Youneng would turn out to be such a muddle-headed person?
Luo Zhijie was watching from the sidelines. If he didn't handle things properly, would he still be able to remain the director?
"Yang Youneng, you're just farmers who don't understand these things. But when you were calling Yang Wanwan an ingrate, I thought you knew a lot! You seem to understand all the principles! Is there anything in this world that you don't understand? Our police station needs your guidance to get things done!"
Yang Youneng had been wearing his signature smile ever since he came in, and although he had no connection with Director Qiao, he knew that Yang Dali had influence over Director Qiao, so he wasn't afraid at all.
Now that Director Qiao has said this, how could he not hear the sarcasm and accusation in his tone?
This is very different from what he had envisioned in the past ten minutes or so.
"Alright, enough talk. Yang Yixuan, come here and verify your fingerprint!"
Director Qiao's words were like a thunderbolt to Yang Yixuan. She immediately panicked and said, "No, no, I didn't... I didn't steal the Parker pen, I don't verify fingerprints."
Director Qiao glanced at Yang Yixuan with disgust, wondering how this pretty young woman could be so brainless.
Instead of repenting for his mistake, he made a big fuss and talked nonsense, forcing Yang Wanwan to let him verify her fingerprints!
Director Qiao snorted, "Since you say Yang Wanwan stole the Parker pen, and you refuse to verify the fingerprints, then let Yang Wanwan do it!"
Yang Wanwan stood up and went to the fingerprint device.
Xiao Zhou operated the equipment and quickly said, "After verification, there is no Yang Wanwan fingerprint on the Parker pen."
Director Qiao said, "This means that Yang Wanwan never had any contact with the Parker pen. Therefore, Yang Yixuan's claim that Yang Wanwan stole the pen is untenable."
Yang Yixuan was already pale and couldn't say a word.
Yang Youneng had already figured things out. He said, "The fact that there are no Yang Wanwan fingerprints on the Parker pen doesn't prove that she didn't steal it."
Director Qiao utterly loathed him and said directly, "Yang Yixuan, check your fingerprints!"
Yang Yixuan was too weak to stand up; her whole body was trembling with fear, and her legs were so weak they felt like they didn't belong to her.
Director Qiao understood and called to Teacher Wang, "Teacher Wang, please have two female students help her! We are here to investigate a case, not to watch a performance."
That was a very blunt remark.
Teacher Wang selected two female students, who helped Yang Yixuan, and Yang Yixuan was forced to have her fingerprints checked.
Xiao Zhou said, "Upon inspection, Yang Yixuan's fingerprints were found on the Parker pen."
"Whoosh!"
Although the students had already made various guesses from Yang Wanwan and Yang Yixuan's completely different reactions, they were really excited when they heard Xiao Zhou's words.
"I never expected Yang Yixuan to be this kind of person."
"And she was so confident just now, saying that Yang Wanwan was an ingrate."
"How could she say that? I never imagined she was such a big liar!"
"Yes! Also, she said that her parents taking care of Yang Wanwan and her siblings, that's definitely not true!"
"It's definitely fake! What Yang Wanwan said is true. Her uncles must have embezzled her family's property!"
