In the Peach Blossom Village brigade headquarters, several village cadres looked puzzled when they saw the room full of educated youth. They asked the village chief, "Village chief, what brings you here?"
The village chief introduced them to the group, saying, "These two are police officers from the town's Public Security Bureau, and this is a postman from the post office. You all should know them."
Several people nodded, and Accountant Huang asked, "Is there something wrong?"
No one answered him. Instead, the village chief introduced the two police officers, saying, "These are the village accountant, the militia company commander, and the scorekeeper. You can ask them any questions you have now."
At this moment, all three of them realized that something was wrong. Had something happened?
One of the police officers said, "Village chief, could you please arrange a separate room for us? We have some questions to ask several people, including you. Also, could you please prepare a table and three stools for us?"
The village chief said, "Okay, the room next door will do!" After saying that, he arranged for a member of the militia company to go out.
One of the police officers said, "Fellow educated youth, before the matter is clarified, please look after the village cadres and remain calm. Village cadres, please do not speak or ask each other questions. You will be given an explanation after the matter is clarified, please trust the organization."
A short while later, the militiamen returned and said, "Village chief, the room is ready."
The village chief said to the police officer, "Comrade, please." Then he turned to several village cadres and said, "The police are here to investigate some things. Those of us who haven't done anything shouldn't be afraid. The innocent will be proven innocent, and the guilty will be proven guilty. I think everyone understands this principle. You must cooperate with the investigation."
Two police officers and a postman went outside and called the militia company commander away.
Two militiamen stood outside the interrogation room. After a while, the militia company commander came out. No one could tell anything from his expression. He simply said, "The police officer is to call the scorekeeper in."
The scorekeeper looked at him, trying to glean something from his expression, but to his disappointment, he could only nervously enter the interrogation room.
Outside the interrogation room stood a crowd of educated youth, as well as some villagers who had rushed over upon hearing the news, unaware of what had happened. The villagers asked what had occurred, but no one answered them.
The educated youth remained silent, not uttering a word, their eyes fixed on the village officials and the door of the interrogation room, hoping to glean some information.
But the militiamen wouldn't let them near the interrogation room, and not a single sound came out of it.
When the villagers saw this, they knew something serious had happened, and it was probably related to the educated youth!
Some busybodies ran back to the village to call for help.
The village officials, including the village chief, were relaxed and showed no signs of tension.
The militia company commander emerged from the interrogation room with a poker face, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
The accountant had a stern face, giving off an unapproachable vibe.
An Moxue looked at this person and then at that person, and whispered to Chu Dongmei, "Dongmei, the people in this village are not simple! You should be careful in the future."
Chu Dongmei looked around and said, "It's nothing. We've seen all kinds of people in Kyoto, except for rural shrewish women. This has really broadened my horizons."
In no time, villagers began to arrive one after another to see what was going on.
When the village chief saw that there were many people, he immediately arranged for the militia company to maintain order and quiet the scene.
See, it works!
Don't speak.
Okay!
This made the villagers realize that something big had happened, and it concerned the entire village.
When the scorekeeper came out of the interrogation room, he was pale and swaying, and he remained silent when villagers asked him questions.
The interrogation room door opened, and one of the police officers said, "Village chief, come in for a moment."
There was a moment of silence in the crowd.
The village chief slowly entered the interrogation room.
At the brigade headquarters, more and more people gathered, forming a dense, dark mass. The crowd began to stir and seemed poised to grow even larger.
The educated youth gathered together, with several cadres occupying a corner, surrounded by people who asked them all sorts of questions. However, the cadres remained silent. Eventually, they got bored and stopped asking the cadres. Instead, the cadres gathered together and had a lively discussion.
However, the scorekeeper's expression remained unpleasant, the accountant's face was somewhat ashen, and the militia company commander was still the same as always, with a poker face.
After a while, the village chief came out of the interrogation room, called the accountant into the room, and looked at the scorekeeper with a pained and troubled expression.
When the villagers saw him come out, they immediately surrounded him.
"Village chief, what's going on?"
"Village chief, what happened?"
"Village chief, what are you investigating?"
"village head,"
"stop!"
The village chief waved his hand and said forcefully, "We are investigating right now and cannot say anything. We will make it public once the investigation is complete. Everyone, please be quiet."
After a while, the door to the interrogation room opened, and a policeman came out. He waved to the village chief and said, "Village chief, please call someone to bring all of Accountant Huang's family members here, and have a few militiamen guard his house and not let anyone in."
This completely infuriated the villagers.
"What did Accountant Huang do?"
"The whole family needs to be investigated?"
"What law has Accountant Huang broken?"
"I knew their family's food and clothing were too good!"
"That's for sure, even the village chief's family can't compare to his."
...
The village chief turned around, called over a few militiamen, and quickly left the village office, ignoring everyone's discussion.
Several members of the Huang family were present. When they realized something was wrong, they tried to run away, but the villagers stopped them and brought them to the village chief. The village chief called over two militiamen, who watched over them and knocked on the door of the interrogation room.
The interrogation room door opened, and a policeman came out. He walked up to the village chief and said, "Village chief, may I use this room again? I need to ask Accountant Huang's family members some questions. Please keep an eye on this room and don't let anyone near it, and don't let Accountant Huang come out."
"Okay, use it."
The police officer said to the interrogation room, "Let's go to another room."
After saying that, he went inside first, and two militiamen forced the unwilling Accountant Huang's family members into the house.
Soon, the house was filled with howling and wailing, accompanied by curses and pleas for mercy, wave after wave.
"You bunch of foreign bastards, you'll all die a horrible death."
Upon hearing this, the educated youth turned pale and glared angrily.
How dare they steal from others and act so self-righteously!
"Watch your words. Insulting others is a criminal offense," the police officer's stern voice rang out.
"Police, please, this has nothing to do with me, they did it all."
"Bullshit! Did you not eat or drink any of that stuff? Now you want to distance yourself? Dream on! If I'm not doing well, neither are you."
After a while, the rest of the Huang family members arrived. They were forced into the house by several militiamen.
Soon after, a new round of crying, cursing, and arguing came from inside the house.
