“I’m not crazy, I’m perfectly fine!” Ding Ermei retorted loudly.
After he finished speaking, he glanced around with resentment.
"If you weren't crazy, why would you come to the police station to cause trouble?"
"Yeah, yeah! This woman is either crazy or stupid to dare to cause trouble at the police station."
······
The crowd was no longer afraid of Ding Ermei and began to discuss her amongst themselves.
"How can you be so heartless? My Xiao Cui is dead! She died because the police sealed off the village, delaying her treatment!" Ding Ermei roared at the crowd, her face flushed with anger.
Everyone was startled by the madness in Ding Ermei's eyes and instinctively took a step or two back. The murmurs immediately subsided.
"My poor little Cui~! Waaah..." Ding Ermei started crying again.
"Ding Ermei, then tell me, how do you want us to take responsibility?" Director Jin stepped forward and asked.
Ding Ermei jumped up, wiped away her tears, and shouted, "You have to take responsibility! You have to pay compensation!"
"Pay us money? How much money do you want us to pay?" Director Jin's face darkened.
"Pay me...one thousand yuan, and I'll take Xiao Cui home right away." Ding Ermei said arrogantly.
"A thousand dollars? You really dare to ask for that much!" Director Jin sighed.
What does one thousand yuan mean?
In 1978, which was last year, China's per capita GDP was only 385 yuan.
An ordinary worker earns only a dozen yuan a month, but Ding Ermei asked for several years' worth of wages from an ordinary worker.
Director Ding "admired" Ding Ermei's talent for courting death. Extortion is a crime based on the amount involved.
One thousand yuan is a huge amount, enough for Ding Ermei to serve ten years in prison.
Ding Ermei thought that Director Jin was scared, and said smugly, "If you don't want to pay, that's fine too. Just release my Bingqiang, and this matter will be over."
"Zhou Bingqiang?" Director Jin asked.
If Ding Ermei hadn't said anything, Director Jin wouldn't have connected Ding Ermei with Zhou Bingqiang.
Upon hearing Ding Ermei's words, Director Jin's anger intensified.
Zhou Bingqiang, as the accountant, betrayed the trust of the villagers of Zhoujia Village by embezzling village funds. Moreover, he was of poor personal character, having an affair with a widow in the village.
Such people should be severely punished by law.
“Yes, Zhou Bingqiang. As long as you release Zhou Bingqiang, I’ll take Xiao Cui home right away. How about it?” Ding Ermei asked with a smile as she approached.
"Not very good." Director Jin took out a pair of handcuffs from his waistband and cuffed Ding Ermei with a "click".
The onlookers vanished in a flash.
Director Kim is serious now.
Whether this woman is crazy or stupid, she's destined to get nowhere today.
There's no need to watch this anymore; it's over.
"Boss, if you don't want to, then don't! Why arrest me?" Ding Ermei said anxiously.
"Ding Ermei, you are suspected of extortion and obstruction of official duties. I am informing you that you are under arrest," Director Jin said sternly.
"I don't want the money anymore, I'm leaving right now." Ding Ermei was so frightened that her face turned pale.
The last time Ding Ermei was arrested, it was for obstructing official business, and she was detained for three days.
Today, she's also charged with extortion, and Ding Ermei is afraid she'll be sent to a labor camp.
"Too late. Xiao Geng, take Ding Ermei in and interrogate her thoroughly. See how many accomplices she has, and arrest them all later," said Chief Jin.
"Yes." Xiao Geng responded, took a few steps forward, grabbed Ding Ermei's arm, and pushed her inside.
"I'm not going, I'm not going." Ding Ermei tried to stop, but she couldn't overcome Xiao Geng's strength.
Ding Ermei had a sudden inspiration. She lay down on the ground and hugged Xiao Geng's leg.
"Let go, let go of me!" Xiao Geng didn't expect Ding Ermei to resort to such a trick to cheat, and hurriedly tried to kick Ding Ermei away.
Ding Ermei held onto Xiao Geng's legs tightly and wouldn't budge.
Just as Chief Jin was about to step forward to help, Officer Wang hurriedly came over and said, "Chief, there's a document you haven't signed yet."
Director Jin took the folder from Old Wang, glanced at it, and then signed it.
This is a document releasing Tian Shanhua.
Since Liu Moli was still alive, Chief Jin didn't plan to detain Tian Shanhua for too long. After all, Tian Shanhua was getting old. Moreover, during the interrogation, Tian Shanhua knew nothing about anything, so detaining her at the police station wouldn't be of much use.
After Lao Wang left with the documents, Director Jin walked up to Ding Ermei and poked her a few times with his finger.
Ding Ermei froze completely.
Only then did Xiao Geng "pull" his leg out of Ding Ermei's grasp.
"Chief, your acupressure skills are amazing. Thank you for your help!" Xiao Geng said with shame.
"Take him in!" Chief Jin waved his hand and said.
Director Kim had a bit of a headache.
Catching Ding Ermei isn't difficult, but Ding Xiaocui's body is still lying in front of the police station!
what to do?
By the way, let's have the hospital send a car to take the body to the morgue!
After making up his mind, Director Jin strode towards his office.
As soon as Director Jin left, Tian Shanhua came out.
Tian Shanhua was very pleased with herself.
The police in Peach Blossom Town are really useless. They interrogated her for over an hour and couldn't get a single useful piece of information out of her.
Once she gets home, she needs to figure out a way to get Dazhu out of trouble as soon as possible. Otherwise, the people in Zhoujia Village will definitely think that her family is about to lose power.
Upon seeing Ding Xiaocui covered by a white cloth in the distance, Tian Shanhua cursed inwardly, "What bad luck!"
