Xiao Zhou immediately flipped to the page with the stamp.
Yu Min looked again, and her eyes widened once more: "Huh?!"
This material is different from the seal in my hand!
Yu Min looked at Ding Daguo, whose face was grim.
How could he... frame Su Tong with a fake seal?
Could it be... that he mixed it up himself?
Ding Daguo's face had already turned pale, but he still stubbornly demanded, "You bastard surnamed Yu, what the hell do you want?!"
Yu Min smiled: "Captain Ding, you are suspected of embezzlement, forging official seals, framing others, setting up a private torture chamber, beating educated youth sent to the countryside, and extracting confessions under torture... Let me count, that's six charges. I'm going to arrest you now according to the law!"
As he spoke, he snatched the confession that Ding Daguo had been holding and revealed a pair of rusty handcuffs.
Ding Daguo retreated repeatedly: "What did you say?! You're talking nonsense!"
Yu Min ignored him completely, only gesturing to Xiao Zhou.
Xiao Zhou stepped forward and twisted Ding Daguo's arms behind his back, while Yu Min swiftly handcuffed him.
At this moment, Guard Zhao spoke up, his voice still icy: "Since it's an inside job, then he must have hidden the stolen goods! Chief Yu, I see your police force is severely insufficient. Do you need the military's assistance in searching his house?"
Yu Min smiled and said, "That's great!"
As the group was about to leave, Su Ruyi looked at Su Tong, who was sitting on the ground and still a little weak, and said, "Brother, I'll go check on him!"
Su Tong nodded: "Go quickly! Act according to the situation!"
Shen Heping and Ji Xuchang nodded to her, "You come with us, we'll take care of your fourth brother!"
Su Ruyi didn't have time to say more and quickly followed after him.
Tonight, she is the key figure in confirming Ding Daguo's embezzlement charges; she cannot be absent!
A group of people escorted Ding Daguo toward the Ding family compound in a grand procession, and the villagers immediately surrounded them.
The Ding family wields considerable influence in the village.
Soon, a close relative of the Ding family went to inform the Ding family patriarch.
Yu Min kicked open the heavy vermilion gate of the Ding family home, revealing a group of twenty people eating around two large octagonal tables in the courtyard. They were all stunned.
After a brief silence, a piercing scream tore through the air, followed by Wang Meiju throwing a tantrum and rolling around on Yu Min: "The police have killed someone! The police have beaten an old lady!"
Guard Zhao glanced at him and said, "They might be accomplices. Arrest them first!"
As he spoke, thirty soldiers, two squads, rushed into the courtyard, while one squad guarded the perimeter of the courtyard to prevent anyone from escaping.
Wang Meiju's arms were also tied behind her back and handcuffed.
She continued cursing, but Yu Min pulled a dirty handkerchief from her pocket and stuffed it firmly into her mouth.
Upon seeing so many soldiers armed with live ammunition, the rest of the Ding family trembled like leaves and none of them dared to charge forward again.
Including Ding Xiuling.
Su Ruyi slipped in and began to observe her carefully.
She wanted to make a scene, but after glancing at her stomach, she gave up, though her eyes flashed with resentment.
Guard Zhao's authoritative voice rang out: "Everyone from the Ding family, assemble in the courtyard! No one is allowed inside!"
Soon, two young women holding babies came out of the house and walked towards the middle of the yard with their heads down.
Ding Daguo cursed, "This is...this is slander!"
Yu Min shouted to the villagers who were peeking in from outside, "Ding Daguo is suspected of embezzlement. We are now conducting a search of his house in accordance with the law! Three villagers who are willing to come and testify, please come into the yard!"
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd: "I'll do it!"
The villagers made way for her, and Su Ruyi saw a familiar middle-aged man walk up. This man looked somewhat like Ding Daguo, but was darker and thinner.
Ding Daguo cursed, "You, Ding Lao Er! You're really something!"
Su Ruyi then remembered that this person was Ding Liming, Ding Daguo's cousin, and also the captain of the Qingshan Second Team.
To distinguish between the two Captain Dings, this Ding Liming was called Captain Ding the Second, or simply Captain Ding the Second or Old Ding the Second.
Ding Liming and Ding Daguo were somewhat in competition for the position, and the two had been rivals since childhood, having several serious arguments.
Now that Ding Daguo is in trouble, how could Ding Liming not stand up for him?
As soon as he started, several other people stood up.
Yu Min pointed to the two who had stepped forward first: "Just the two of you, come in!"
The two hurriedly ran into the house.
The gate to the Ding family compound was closed.
Su Ruyi moved slowly with the crowd, while simultaneously extending her divine sense to collect all the money, tickets, and other valuables hidden in each room into her own spatial storage.
The soldiers searched each house one by one, and each time they took three villagers with them to witness the search.
Soon, the Ding family's rooms were in a complete mess.
Su Ruyi continued to move with the crowd, making room for the soldiers.
Suddenly, her red mole started burning again, and at the same time, she felt something strange under her feet!
She closed her eyes, focused her divine sense, and sensed a cellar beneath her feet!
Inside... there were some strangely shaped jars, eight in total.
Without saying a word, she put them all into her space.
The burning sensation in my palms gradually subsided.
Su Ruyi's figure disappeared into the shadows at the base of the wall.
The search is ongoing.
All the rooms were ransacked.
One of the Ding family's babies suddenly started crying, and another baby was also drawn into crying.
Then the older children also burst into tears.
In an instant, adults whispered among themselves, children wailed, there was the clanging and rummaging of things, and Wang Meiju screamed through her dirty handkerchief—a chaotic scene of people falling over.
Finally, they found Ding Daguo's room.
Su Ruyi pretended to give up her seat and stood to the side. Her divine sense immediately probed every corner of the kang (a heated brick bed) – there was a hidden compartment next to the kang hole containing more than a dozen stacks of RMB 10,000 bills, the most she had ever seen before!
She immediately put all of it into her spatial storage.
Then, almost at the same time, all the stolen supplies from the brigade headquarters were put into the kangqin at the foot of the bed.
Soon, the kangqin was carried out.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the kangqin (a traditional heated brick bed) was lifted, and a soldier turned over some clothes and bedding inside. The brigade's official seal, a letter of introduction, a large stack of tickets and certificates, and two hundred yuan were revealed to everyone.
Xiao Zhou took out the police report and slowly read it aloud: "Ding Daguo, the captain of the Qingshan Team 1 of Dingjiatun, reported that the team headquarters was robbed, and a pair of official seals and one hundred letters of introduction were missing..."
As he spoke, he pulled something out of the kang (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), then counted the two bills, raising his voice again: "Except for the money, which is only a small amount left, everything else is perfect!"
The people inside and outside were in an uproar.
Ding Daguo's expression at this moment was beyond description: "You...this...I..."
The entire Ding family fell silent; even the crying children had their mouths covered.
Yu Min smiled insincerely and said, "Captain Ding is indeed a man of extraordinary courage! When others steal from their posts, they will hide the things more discreetly! You are really confident! Tell me, where did you hide the money?"
