In the afternoon, Feng Ye and A-Can took their boat to town.
I promised Fang Yi I'd come to take his statement today, I can't go back on my word.
Upon arriving at the town's dock, they moored the boat and went directly to the police station.
Fang Yi was already waiting for them.
"You've finally arrived! I thought you'd forgotten."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "How could that be? Since I said I was coming to give a statement today, I will definitely come."
Ah-chan also said, "Ye-ge was moving this morning, otherwise we would have come over this morning."
"Oh, Ah Ye, your new house is finished?"
"Yes, it was finished at the end of last month."
"You're such a bad friend! You didn't even tell me about such a big thing as moving."
"You've misunderstood Brother Ye. He's just moving in for now; the housewarming party hasn't been held yet."
"Oh, I see. When will the housewarming party be held? I'll definitely be there to congratulate you."
"I'll send you the invitation on the 22nd of next month. I forgot to bring it today."
In later generations, a simple phone call is all it takes to hold a wedding banquet and announce a celebration.
But these days, you have to send out invitations, otherwise even if people know, they will absolutely not come, and the two families will cut off all future ties.
The reason is simple: without this invitation, people will feel slighted.
"I won't be at the police station for a long time, so please skip the invitations. Just give me a specific time, and I'll definitely be there."
Fang Yi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such trouble.
"That's okay too."
Feng Ye nodded and asked curiously, "Are you going on a business trip?"
"Yes, the city set up a special task force, and I was selected to join it."
Fang Yi's lips curled up slightly, looking somewhat smug.
"The municipal task force?"
Feng Ye pressed further, "What case? The Longtail Island case?"
"Yes, I shouldn't have told you this, but you're the ones who discovered this case, so it's okay to tell you."
Fang Yi's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "However, you have to promise me that you will keep this a secret and not tell anyone."
“We understand, the case is still under investigation, and we cannot disclose any information.”
Feng Ye had a premonition that this case was about to cause a major uproar.
The city has set up a special task force, so the province must know about it too.
At the same time, he also realized that the letter he wrote to Hao Aiguo was pointless and unnecessary.
With the special task force already in place, would the protective umbrella behind Changwei Island still dare to interfere?
They probably don't even have time to distance themselves from the situation.
"Hurry up and tell us, we're tight-lipped, we definitely won't say anything."
Ah-Can nodded and patted his chest to assure him.
"Okay, I trust you."
Fang Yi nodded in satisfaction and continued, "This case is too big; it's beyond the capacity of our police station alone..."
It turns out that after bringing the person back to the police station the night before last, they interrogated him overnight, and even used some methods.
These days, it's normal to use some methods during interrogation. As long as you don't kill or maim someone, there won't be any major problems.
The results of the interrogation shocked everyone; they were far more serious than they had imagined.
In addition to the seven robbery cases confessed to by Zheng Haoren, he also confessed to eleven other cases involving robbery, intentional injury, extortion, etc.
This is just the crime committed by this small gang.
Humans are all afraid of death.
In order to survive and avoid the death penalty, one must report crimes and perform meritorious service.
And so, the fighting began, and the number of cases started to rise steadily.
The final count, after removing some identical cases, revealed a staggering 56 other cases.
When the leaders of the police station saw this, they were both excited and fearful, and were relieved that Changwei Island was not within their jurisdiction.
It is foreseeable that a large number of people, from the town police station where Changwei Island is located to the Yanshan County Public Security Bureau, will be held accountable.
Faced with such a big case, it was far beyond the capabilities of the local police station, so the case was reported to the county public security bureau overnight.
The county public security bureau was shocked upon receiving the report and immediately reported it to the municipal bureau.
This eventually led to the formation of the municipal task force.
After hearing Fang Yi's account, Feng Ye and A Can were both dumbfounded, quite surprised by the number of things the Longtail Islanders had done.
"Damn it, everyone from Longtail Island deserves to die!"
Ah-chan's face was full of anger.
Although those robberies didn't happen to them, they still felt the same way.
After all, they had been robbed before, and more than once, but they handled it well and were not successfully robbed.
"That's absolutely damnable."
Feng Ye clenched his fists, his heart burning with anger.
"Don't worry, none of them will escape."
Fang Yi whispered mysteriously, "This case has reached the highest levels of government. I have a childhood friend who works in the ministry. He called me specifically to ask about it and said that the ministry is going to send someone down to supervise the case."
Feng Ye gave Fang Yi a deep look.
Realizing that this guy's background was probably not simple, and that he was likely sent down to gain experience, they found him to be someone who had been sent to gain prestige.
I just don't know why they would choose such a poor and remote place.
Ah-Can didn't think too much about it, but said excitedly, "That would be great. They should all be arrested and shot, leaving no one alive. Only then can fishermen go out to sea with peace of mind."
Feng Ye nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I've finished telling you. Let's get to the task force to take my statement. I need to get to the task force to report for duty."
"So urgent?"
"Well, if I weren't waiting to take your statements to the task force, I would have left this morning."
"Then let's hurry up."
The statements were taken separately; Feng Ye and A-Can were taken to different rooms and questioned by different people.
Fang Yi and another very young police officer took Feng Ye's statement.
Fang Yi was in charge of asking questions, while the other person was in charge of taking notes.
Feng Ye sat in the chair and recounted in detail his experiences over the past few days, from being chased by the boat from Changwei Island at the beginning, to discovering something amiss on the second day, and then calling the police after seizing the boat.
Of course, he would definitely try to embellish his story; he couldn't possibly say that he wanted to steal the boat and keep it for himself, but only called the police when he had no other choice.
Ah-chan wouldn't let it slip; they had already agreed on it before they came.
Fang Yi simply smiled upon hearing this and did not expose his lie.
Compared to this earth-shattering case, their actions were indeed harmless, and no one would hold a grudge against them.
