"I...I didn't steal anything anyway!"
The honey badger appears to be a bit fierce but is actually weak.
Ye Shan looked at him with a smile, but took a big step forward.
"Do you think anyone will believe you if you just keep saying you didn't steal anything? Please show me the evidence!"
"Otherwise I'll have to take you back for interrogation!"
Faced with the opponent's aggressiveness, the honey badger lowered his head and took a long time to make up his mind.
"I've only been in the village for less than a year and I'm not used to the food, so I deliberately called in sick that day and went to the black market to buy meat."
"By the way, you police officers shouldn't be part-time members of the Revolutionary Committee, right?"
No wonder he didn’t want to say it out loud, it turns out he went to the black market at that time.
This guy is hiding it because he's afraid that I'll catch him.
Ye Shan looked at the honey badger.
This guy looks unruly on the surface, but he is actually very easy to discipline.
Didn’t you see that he told the truth just by being threatened?
The flat-headed brother trembled: "Are you just trying to scare me? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Don't worry, I won't be targeting the black market! If you can find a witness, that would be even better. But if you can't find anyone to testify for you, then you better behave yourself for the time being!"
Seeing that the sun was setting, Shen Beiyang hurried over on his bicycle.
"Captain Ye!"
"I told you already, I've retired, so don't call me Captain!"
"But I'm just not used to calling you Director Ye!"
"Then just call me Ye Shan!"
Shen Beiyang immediately nodded like a dog.
"Okay! Ye Shan, how are your inquiries about the case here going?"
Ye Shan directly handed over the notebook in her hand, all the key issues had been recorded.
Shen Beiyang took it.
"Oh...you wrote in your notebook that the flat-headed brother was unruly and untamed. I think your handwriting is even more unruly and untamed!"
Ye Shan's eyes flickered, and her handwriting had begun to incorporate the style of her previous life.
You know what, he's quite unruly.
"Just wait and see. I'm not going to change it anyway!"
The corner of Shen Beiyang’s mouth twitched.
This work record book also contains many of Ye Shan's opinions.
However, Shen Beiyang still agreed with the speculation.
"What are you going to do now?"
Ye Shan was leisurely and not in a hurry, because she had already begun to have an idea in her mind.
"I've been taking a look around the village and know that this village has never had many outsiders coming in, so it's likely that someone from the village did it."
"So you go find the captain right now and ask him to gather everyone in the village for a meeting. Remember, no one should be left behind!"
It was evening and those who went to school came back.
In those days, people in the village could not leave far without a letter of introduction.
Old Wang curled his lips, but still expressed his willingness to cooperate. Soon he gathered all the villagers together.
Ye Shan also saw that the large area where the millet was dried was crowded with people.
"Is everyone here?"
Old Wang nodded.
"Everyone in the village came, from 8 to 80 years old!"
Old Wang actually wanted to make the matter bigger. After everyone was mobilized, if the murderer still could not be found, it would only prove that Ye Shan was incompetent.
Ye Shan slowly took the attendance list, and next to it was a notebook recording work points.
"Good! Now all the women can go back!"
Old Wang glanced at Ye Shan sideways and did as he was told.
"Captain, please do me a favor. After all, there are only two of us here! Please have your sons guard the people present. Before I give my permission, anyone who leaves this place will be suspected!"
Old Wang stood up expressionlessly and began to explain to the villagers below why he had called everyone here this time.
Some people knew about the theft at the educated youth site, but no one expected that the police would be alerted so quickly.
Moreover, this time the police did not plan to conduct secret visits like before, but gathered everyone together openly.
Especially the female police officer, she was sitting there with no expression on her face, which was very intimidating.
The women left one after another, and some of them looked back at the men in their families with some worry.
Ye Shan took a quick look and saw that all the women and men under the age of 15 had left, and the place was now much quieter.
"Those who are already married and whose partners are still alive and in a harmonious relationship can let them leave first!"
There are quite a few who are already married, and naturally there are also many whose partners are still alive, but those who have harmonious relationships need to be considered.
There were only two or three people who left in a hurry without getting angry.
The corner of Ye Shan's mouth twitched.
People in the village would fight over anything they disagreed on, and there were many cases of couples fighting to the point of bleeding.
So it’s really hard to say whether we have harmonious relationships.
Ye Shan could only produce the work points book next to her.
Then, by comparing with what the female educated youth said, the date of the theft began to be eliminated.
Work points are the lifeblood of members.
Any man who wants to live a good life will do his best.
Soon these hardworking people were released.
The rest are just some lazy people and slackers.
Ye Shan's cold eyes swept over them one by one.
"I know the thief is among you. If you stand up now, it will be considered as surrendering yourself."
In the crowd, we looked at each other, all suspicious, wondering who this thief was.
Ye Shan whispered a few words in Shen Beiyang's ear, then walked over step by step.
"Three days ago, I was working in the fields in the afternoon. If you have any witnesses, please come forward! As long as the facts are true, you can go back."
Another part was quickly eliminated.
These people were thankful in their hearts that they did not slack off at the time...Now it has become the key to clearing their names.
