Chapter 229 Dog bites dog
Just after school at noon that day, Xie Jiaojiao and her group heard the students' exclamations as they walked out of the school.
"Car! Here comes the car from the team!"
"I think I've seen this car before."
"Stop bragging. You've only been to the county town a few times."
"I remember now. When Su Zhiqing was arrested, he was riding in this car."
These words instantly brought back the children's forgotten memories.
“It seems to be this one.”
"Does that mean someone in the team has been arrested again?" One of the children opened his mouth wide.
"Who is it? Who is it?"
"have no idea."
"You'll find out when you go and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of students ran in the direction the car left.
Upon hearing the news, Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Lan looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
Jiang Lan: "Go and have a look?"
Xie Jiaojiao: “Go!”
Jiang Ye, who knew the inside story, did not refuse. He also wanted to see what happened to Jiang Meng's family.
So the three of them followed the child.
During this period, more and more gossip-loving villagers came forward after hearing the news, and gradually formed a huge group.
Finally, they all stood in front of Jiang Meng's house.
"Let me go! What gives you the right to arrest me?" Jiang Ran, who was working in the fields, was captured by two police officers and taken to Jiang Meng's house.
Outside the yard, the chaotic commotion had already startled Jiang Meng in the house.
When Jiang Meng was hesitating whether to go out, he heard Jiang Ran's curse. He immediately calmed down, pretended not to hear it, and walked out in a panic.
"Comrade Public Security, what's going on? What has my son done wrong?"
The leading police officer was Xie Jianjun. He raised his hand and two more police officers immediately came out from behind him and stepped forward to hold Jiang Meng.
At the moment of being restrained, the fake smile on Jiang Meng's lips froze and his heart skipped a beat, but he calmed himself down the next second and forced himself to comfort himself that Liu Sheng was their leader and he would be fine.
"Comrade Public Security, what do you mean? We are honest farmers, what have we done wrong? Why are you arresting us? Are there any laws?" Jiang Meng's face was full of indignation at being wronged.
Xie Jianjun said calmly, "You are suspected of colluding with the former director and embezzling money. You need to be taken back for investigation."
Although it is called an investigation, it has actually been almost finalized. After all, Liu Sheng has already confessed everyone he should confess.
However, according to the procedure, Jiang Meng still had to be interrogated before conviction and the case had to be reviewed. In the end, Jiang Meng pleaded guilty, accepted the punishment, and the case came to an end.
Hearing this, Jiang Meng panicked instantly.
He yelled, "You're talking nonsense! I don't even know Liu Sheng! You must have known that my son once tried to bully your sister, and you're taking revenge out of personal favoritism."
A cold light flashed across Xie Jianjun's eyes, and he said slowly: "I don't think I mentioned that the director's name is Liu Sheng!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Meng's pupils trembled, his mouth opened wide, and his face was full of disbelief.
Oops! I got tricked!
But Jiang Meng reacted quickly. He excused himself by saying, "I've had my money stolen before. I went to the Public Security Bureau and I know the director is Liu Sheng. There's nothing strange about it."
"Oh, really? Then go back and check your criminal record to see if what you said is true." Xie Jianjun paused, his tone full of murderous intent. "If it's true, it's nothing. But if it's false, lying in front of the police is an even more serious crime."
Jiang Meng, who was grinning, suddenly collapsed.
He still fought back desperately, "I haven't done anything wrong, you're just using your power to take revenge on me!"
"Fellow villagers, have you ever offended Jiang Ye? I was taken away today because I offended Jiang Ye's wife. Will you feel better?"
Seeing that Xie Jianjun was unmoved, Jiang Meng directly incited everyone.
Suddenly, there was a chaotic discussion around.
Xie Jianjun frowned slightly.
He stepped forward and patted Jiang Ran on the shoulder, then said with some regret, "Originally, you had nothing to do with this, but your father reported you for being a hooligan towards women, so you have to go along too."
Hearing these divisive words, Jiang Meng's face changed drastically. He wanted to speak to stop something, but the policeman who had already received Xie Jianjun's eye signal covered Jiang Meng's mouth tightly.
What could Jiang Ran do when he heard what Xie Jianjun said?
Others may not know, but how could he, as a son, not know?
His father wanted him to be a scapegoat!
A pair of eyes full of resentment stared at Jiang Meng.
At this time, Xie Jianjun spoke again.
"This is a hooligan, and the crime is not light. If he can make up for it with merit, it would be better. Otherwise, I am afraid he will be in a very difficult situation. I don't know where he will be sent for reformation. Even a skilled practitioner may not be able to endure it."
Although Jiang Ran had never suffered at the hands of the Jiang Ye family, he had seen it with his own eyes, and the impact had been deeply rooted in his mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so cowardly outside.
He immediately shouted, "Thank you, Public Security! My father lied. He knows Director Liu. There's not only an account book but also a lot of letters hidden between the bed boards in his room."
Jiang Meng, whose own son had sold him to the bone, had bloodshot eyes. He raised his foot and wanted to kick Jiang Ran, the rebellious son, to death, but was subdued by the police behind him. They coldly warned him, "Behave yourself."
When the evidence was brought out, Jiang Meng lost all his strength and gave up struggling as if he accepted his fate.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran bared his front teeth and said happily, "Thank you, police officer. I've done a meritorious service. Can you offset my demerits and let me go?"
Xie Jianjun scoffed, "No, you are suspected of instigating others to attack Comrade Jiang Dahua and Comrade Jiang Mei, causing serious physical and mental harm to them. You must be investigated."
Jiang Ran's eyes widened, and in order to protect himself, he began to throw dirty water on Jiang Meng.
"No, I didn't do it. My father made me do it."
Jiang Meng is not a good man, nor is he a kind father, otherwise he would not have drowned his second daughter without blinking an eye.
When asked the reason, it was just because she was worried that Jiang Dadao didn't like his granddaughter and he would regret it later. It was also because she saw Jiang Dadao's love for Jiang Mei, not because she felt sorry for the dead child.
Therefore, when he heard Jiang Ran trying to put all the blame on himself, he immediately spitted out insults.
"You farted."
"You have a mouth, hands, and feet. If you don't want to, can I force you to do it?"
…
The father and son were like enemies, biting each other.
Bombs exploded one after another, shocking the people in the team who were watching the excitement.
Xie Jianjun didn't expect that the father and son would be so helpful, and a look of surprise flashed across his cold brows.
Seeing that they were almost done, Xie Jianjun made a gesture and his men immediately covered their mouths.
He explained to the onlookers that he was not taking revenge out of personal favoritism and would handle the matter impartially.
This statement, coupled with the self-confession of Jiang Meng and his son, was very convincing, and the people who were surrounding them all made way.
So, Xie Jianjun nodded to Jiang Ye and left with Jiang Meng and his son.
As soon as they left, Song Juan, who was holding Jiang Wang, came back to her senses and sat on the ground crying, "It's unfair."
But everyone was not stupid, and no one paid any attention to her. Some people even thought that Jiang Meng's father and his wife were good-for-nothings, and spat on her and her mother to vent their anger.
In the end, Song Juan, who failed to play the victim, ran away in shame, holding Jiang Wang who was crying non-stop.
As for Liu Niannian, she smiled with relief when she saw this scene.
Even if Jiang Ran is not good enough, with her pride, she is unwilling to marry a peasant.
It’s great that we can now distance ourselves from the matter.
