Around two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Wu An got home, he was still a little sleepy and planned to take a nap.
Upon learning about Old Fu's matter.
Naturally, I was no longer sleepy at all.
Mei Yueqin watched him drink cup after cup of tea and said, "What's wrong? I haven't seen you so flustered in a long time."
Wu An was taken aback when he heard his sister-in-law say that.
He licked his lips.
indeed.
He was a little flustered.
What the Chen family did has crossed his bottom line.
This time it was throwing bricks to break the glass, what's next?
Are they about to mess with someone?
Will it affect my family?
As Wu An thought about this, he became increasingly uneasy, but managed a smile and said, "I didn't, who's panicking?"
"The beef noodles I ate at the dock were extremely salty, and I was thirsty."
"Well……"
After saying that, he suddenly felt an urgent need to urinate and couldn't hold it in any longer, so he quickly got up and went to the toilet, where he relieved himself comfortably for a long time.
I left the restroom.
Wu An shook the water off his hands and then wiped himself haphazardly. He was almost afraid to look his sister-in-law in the eye. He had just said he was thirsty, and the next second he made a hasty excuse to pee. Wasn't that just contradicting himself?
Mei Yueqin teased, "Are you still thirsty?"
Wu An coughed twice and picked up some melon seeds to crack open.
...
Shangwan Village.
The police car drove up to Old Fu's house.
The neighbors all came out to watch, even though it was raining heavily, they all brought umbrellas and wore raincoats to see what was going on.
This is DNA ingrained in our very being.
"Old Fu actually called the police?"
"This has blown up so much?"
"What can be found out? It's a waste of time to investigate."
"That's not necessarily true."
"That's right. Before, Old Fu's salary was withheld by the Chen family, but he got it back after making a scene."
"Whether they can find out or not, the fact that Old Fu dared to call the police will scare the Chen family quite a bit."
"yes."
"Old Fu has been a coward his whole life, but now that he's old, how come he's suddenly hard again?"
"Who knows..."
"The Chen family isn't so easily intimidated. Old Fu dared to call the police; next time, it might not be as simple as just throwing bricks and smashing windows."
“He is a recipient of the Five Guarantees, with no children or relatives to rely on. There are only a few families with the surname Fu in our village. He is risking his life to go head-to-head with the Chen family.”
"Have you lived enough?"
"Hey, the barefoot aren't afraid of the ones wearing shoes. Old Fu has had enough of living. If you really push him too far, even the Chen family might not be able to withstand it."
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
"..."
Amidst differing opinions and discussions, Liu Long and Yu Kailang got out of the car, and Old Fu came out of the house, offering them cigarettes.
Liu Long waved his hand, not taking it.
Next came the routine: he was in charge of asking questions, while Yu Kailang went inside to check on the situation.
Upon seeing the bricks inside the house, Yu Kailang's face darkened considerably.
That's outrageous!
It's one thing to secretly smash windows at night, but to throw things in broad daylight, with people inside, is blatant provocation. Aren't they afraid of hitting someone?
They might be here to smash people!
No wonder Wu An was in such a hurry.
I took photos inside the house, and then went around to the back house to take more photos. Luckily, it was a dirt road, and because it had rained, the shoe prints were clearly visible.
As Yu Kailang watched, an image involuntarily flashed through his mind: someone picking up a brick by the roadside, aiming at a not-so-large window, and throwing it forcefully out.
Unfortunately, it was still raining, and the rain washed away the shoe print, so it couldn't provide any valuable clues.
Even so, he quickly took the picture.
I looked around and found nothing, and of course there were no security cameras either.
The reason they resorted to this trick was because they knew they wouldn't be caught.
The cost of committing crimes is too low!
After a busy day, Liu Long returned to the front yard and started asking the neighbors. There was no awkward silence; in fact, many people were eager to speak up.
"Yes, it was smashed yesterday too."
"Look at that window covered with plastic sheeting."
“I live next door. Last night I was having tea in the yard when I heard the sound of glass breaking.”
"I even went out to look, but unfortunately I didn't see anything."
Someone joked, "Hey, even if you saw it, you wouldn't dare say anything."
"Bullshit, who said I wouldn't dare to say it? Officer, I have something to report to you. It's rumored in the village that the Chen family did it, and that the Chen family has a conflict with Old Fu."
"The conflict is quite significant, as you should all be aware of."
Can you arrest someone based on rumors?
"You definitely can't arrest them; you need evidence, right?"
As Liu Long listened, his already dark complexion darkened further. These unruly people were laughing and joking, truly treating this as a game of make-believe.
These people talk a lot, but nothing they say is useful.
He suppressed his anger, knowing he couldn't escalate the situation; otherwise, these people would definitely remain silent and would gossip behind his back about him pretending to be innocent.
I asked around, but it was all for nothing.
Yu Kailang walked over, and Liu Long shook his head.
Yu Kailang said seriously, "Since it's rumored that the Chen family did it, and there's a motive, let's ask the Chen family."
Liu Long nodded.
That's a question to ask; even a *** has to leave.
He asked, "What did you discover?"
Yu Kailang also shook his head.
Liu Long frowned: "This is troublesome."
Yu Kailang pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He looked up at the sky and cursed, "Damn it, why is it raining so lightly?"
He splashed some water on his hands and then asked the village committee to arrange for someone to take him to the Chen family's house.
We arrived at the Chen family's residence.
Boss Chen asked him directly if he could call the police if someone spread rumors about him.
Yu Kailang nodded.
Boss Chen immediately said that he had been falsely accused and that he would call the police and arrest those who spread the rumors.
Yu Kailang was completely numb.
After a routine inquiry, nothing was found. Old Chen also said that he was the only one at home and had returned last night, while his son had been in town.
He hadn't gone home, so naturally he had no time to commit the crime.
Yu Kailang left quickly.
Old Chen was very hospitable and saw him to the door, as if he had forgotten the rift caused by the earlier disturbance at the police station.
Yu Kailang walked out for a while, then looked back and snorted, "Old fox."
We returned to Old Fu's house.
Seeing Yu Kailang return with a gloomy expression, Liu Long knew that his apprentice had returned empty-handed.
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse."
"With such heavy rain, aren't you afraid of getting wet and catching a cold?"
"Stop crowding around."
He shouted a few words.
The villagers continued to joke and laugh, completely unconcerned. They were a close-knit clan with a fierce and unruly spirit, and they were not afraid of these uniformed men at all.
Yu Kailang and Old Fu exchanged a few words.
Old Fu was a little embarrassed: "Thank you for your trouble."
Yu Kailang shook his head and said seriously, "This is our duty."
I will let you know as soon as I have any news.
"that's all."
Soon, amidst the boos of the villagers, the police car drove away.
"Old Fu, why did you pull this stunt?"
"If there are any problems, you can report them to the village."
"What's the use of these police officers? They're just going through the motions. Do you really expect them to stand up for you?"
"Alright, alright, since that's the case, then the village won't interfere."
The village committee members walked away with their hands behind their backs, looking displeased.
As the villagers came by, some chatted and laughed, while others offered genuine comfort. Most of them told Old Fu to let it go and that patience would bring peace.
