What was the result?
It could only be left unresolved.
Although Boss Chen said it was Wu An and Lao Fu who did it, the police couldn't do anything without factual evidence.
Routine investigations are necessary.
They went to Old Fu's place, where the police questioned them about the situation.
Old Fu, of course, knew nothing about it, saying that he had drunk alcohol and gone to sleep the day before and knew nothing. Upon learning of Old Master Chen's ordeal, he could only say that it was very gratifying.
Some onlookers, upon learning of the incident, also reported the situation, saying that Boss Chen had offended many people, and it wasn't necessarily Old Fu who did it.
Besides, Old Fu isn't the kind of person who would do something like that.
When the police come to question you, it's just a formality; there's no hope of getting any information out of you.
As for what they said about Wu An.
Old Fu retorted, "What business is it of theirs?"
Wu An was just the owner of the fishing boat where he worked, and had no grudge against the Chen family. Besides, why would they do something so big for me?
That question caused the police officer to hold him captive for several seconds.
yes.
That's such a far-fetched argument.
Some bystanders started to jeer, asking them if they had received bribes from Boss Chen.
The police were quite annoyed by this.
Why do they seem like villains who oppress ordinary people?
Leaving Shangwan Village, the police were not finished with their work. They drove straight to the county hospital, where their only breakthrough was Chen Baosheng, who was still unconscious.
As a victim, his words are very important.
It might become the breakthrough in the case.
On the road.
The two policemen looked at Yu Kailang in the back row and asked, "What are you doing following them?"
Yu Kailang said, "Chen Baosheng is also one of the suspects in my investigation, and his motive is clear. I need to ask him where he was at the time and whether he has an alibi."
The two policemen curled their lip: "That would be best."
Yu Kailang said, "Don't worry, I won't steal your thunder. Maybe, I mean maybe, I can even help with your case."
The two policemen exchanged a glance.
Although Yu Kailang had only been working for a short time, he had indeed solved several cases in succession and received commendations from the director and leaders.
As the saying goes, even a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches; inexperienced people can often catch their opponents off guard.
The two policemen nodded: "Alright."
Yu Kailang said, "The place where Chen Baosheng was attacked is quite strange. It's not far from the dock, and it was the scene of the attack."
"What was Chen Baosheng doing over there so late at night, and in the rain?"
"That's quite strange."
"It might be a breakthrough point."
The two policemen nodded in agreement.
There might be something fishy going on here, and they'll definitely want to find out everything from there.
"Wait a minute, something doesn't sound right," the policeman driving turned around and said, "What do you mean by 'breakthrough'?"
“In your eyes, Chen Baosheng is a suspect, but in our eyes, he is a victim.”
"We went there to inquire and understand the situation, not to interrogate."
Yu Kailang pouted and said, "Fine, fine."
...
When Lao Fu arrived at the beach on his bicycle, he saw Wu An and A Qing resting on the rocks.
Not far away, a water pump was operating, drawing seawater out.
Old Fu parked the car and walked over, asking, "How much did you get?"
Aqing pouted: "They've made two puddles, and the bucket isn't even half full."
Old Fu walked over and looked into the bucket; most of the crabs inside were still stone crabs.
He twitched his lips. Such a harvest was truly rare. No wonder the two of them were so bored that they had foxtail grass in their mouths.
He sat down and, without waiting for Wu An to ask, explained the situation, then asked, "Chen Baosheng, he..."
Wu An smiled and said, "People don't die."
Old Fu was stunned and stared straight at Wu An.
Wu An had a smile on his face, grinning to reveal two rows of big white teeth.
Old Fu said, "It's true... I heard he was beaten up at the dock yesterday, badly beaten, and has been sent to the county hospital."
"The police came and questioned me."
"They even suspect you did it!"
Seeing that Old Fu was a bit agitated, Wu An patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, it's none of your business anyway."
Old Fu grabbed his hand: "Ah An, it's not necessary. There's really no need to go to such lengths for an old man like me."
"You are still young and have a bright future ahead of you!"
“Old Chen isn’t stupid. He guessed it was you who did it. This is his most precious youngest son, and he definitely won’t let this go.”
Wu An said, "Old Fu, if young people aren't full of youthful vigor, are they even young?"
"You don't need to think so much about me."
"There's no need to say so much. I've already considered the consequences of my actions."
"But, but..." Before Old Fu could finish speaking, A Qing impatiently interrupted him, shouting, "Alright, alright, it's already done."
"What's with all the fuss?"
"Just one question for you: when you learned that Chen Baosheng was beaten so badly, did you feel relieved? Did you feel good about it?"
Old Fu nodded.
"That settles it then." Aqing spat and said, "You always say that Boss Chen won't let things go, that he'll do this or that, but in my opinion, he's had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to mess with my brother."
Wu An rolled his eyes.
Was that a compliment?
Why does that sound so strange?
Wu An called out, "Stop talking nonsense, the water's almost drained, let's get to work."
I glanced at the water pump.
There's still a bit of luck left, which means the catch from this puddle isn't great.
Three people went into the water.
I didn't see many fish, but there were quite a few shrimp and crabs, mainly stone crabs. I didn't even see many mantis shrimp, let alone flower crabs or mud crabs.
The three people climbed out of the puddle.
The tide was still receding. Wu An checked the time and estimated that it would be low in about half an hour.
"Brother, why don't we try going down into the puddle?"
"Okay, let's carry the water pump and go to the bottommost puddle."
The three of them walked to the bottom.
There were large reefs not far away, and the fishermen from before were waving and greeting them cheerfully.
Although it was close, there was still some distance, and with the howling sea breeze and surging tides, it was difficult to hear each other clearly.
However, communication is not limited to speaking; it can also be expressed through actions.
One of the fishermen caught a fish, pulled it up, and showed it off to Wu An and his friends.
When Aqing saw this, she couldn't help but curse.
He couldn't stand such provocation.
If he hadn't brought a fishing rod, he might have gone fishing for a bit and taught these people a lesson.
Wu An ignored him, placed the water pump in place, and started working.
These anglers didn't really have any bad intentions; they were just overjoyed to have caught fish and liked to share their catch.
He had nothing to say.
He's just a show-off.
You guys are blind!
Seeing his luck value drop slightly as soon as the water pump started operating, Wu An sat down on the edge of the pit.
He squinted at the still smug fishermen.
Okay, okay.
Let me show you guys something big.
