Seeing how anxious Wu Yingwei was, Aqing actually thought it was quite alright.
Wu Yingwei called out twice and asked, "Aqing, Aqing... what are you thinking about?"
Ah Qing shook her head: "I...I wasn't thinking anything..."
"Then you're daydreaming..."
Ah Qing, quick-witted as ever, said, "I just think... I just think it's pretty good."
Wu Yingwei said irritably, "Are you out of your mind? What's so good about it? How many times has A'an been to the police station lately? It's really..."
Ah Qing explained, "Before, when my brother did something wrong, everyone said he was bad. Now, everyone is thinking of him."
Wu Yingwei said, "He made a mistake before, but it's different now."
Aqing shook her head: "It's different now. I can't explain it, but it's definitely different."
Mei Wu interjected, "It's different now."
“If it were before, when Uncle Wu knew that A-An had gone to the police station, his first thought would be that A-An had caused trouble, and his first words would definitely be to scold A-An.”
"Now... the first thing they say is, 'What's wrong with Ah An? Who's messing with him?' They're extremely concerned."
"..." Wu Yingwei's eyes widened. He was too caught up in the situation to notice these changes. After hearing what A Qing and Mei Wu said, he was stunned for a while before sighing and saying, "It is different now."
"But it's no use."
"We can only watch helplessly."
Old Xie offered him a cigarette and said, "I saw that Ah An left very easily. Since he said he could handle it, then there must be no problem."
"Someone come here, the catch needs to be weighed."
Aqing went over to take a look.
After he finished his work, he said he would wait for Wu An to come and collect the money. He then instructed Old Fu to tidy up the fishing boat before quickly disembarking and returning home.
Mei Wu followed Wu Yingwei home.
...
It wasn't dark yet.
Wu An arrived at the police station.
Before they had even parked the car, Yu Kailang and Liu Long got out.
Wu An asked with a smile, "Am I not late?"
Yu Kailang shook his head: "No."
Wu An parked the car and said, "What's with those expressions? I'm the victim."
“Personally, I believe you,” Liu Long said seriously. “However, whether you are a victim depends on whether you can produce conclusive and credible evidence.”
Wu An asked, "Shouldn't you have investigated and uncovered the evidence?"
"..." Liu Long coughed and said, "That's true, but if you had it, wouldn't that save you a lot of trouble?"
Yu Kailang said, "A'an, you must be furious."
"Even though they are the victims, they are being asked to apologize."
"That bastard, it's obvious this isn't the first time he's done something like this!"
Liu Long coughed and said, "Kailang, keep your voice down. It's not good if someone hears you saying these things."
Yu Kailang sighed, "I'm just so angry!"
Wu An smiled and said, "I believe that justice will prevail and that I will be given the truth."
Yu Kailang nodded vigorously: "That's for sure!"
Liu Long reminded him, "Wu An, I have to remind you that the current situation is actually very unfavorable to you."
According to the other party, Wu An accused him of stealing the fish trap and then committed the crime. The other party has video evidence to prove it. Their demands are simple: first, to seek compensation, and second, to demand that Wu An issue a public apology.
Before Wu An arrived, he and Yu Kailang analyzed that the other party did not really want to compensate or apologize, but rather wanted to turn the tables.
As long as each side sticks to their own version of events and no concrete evidence is available, even if Wu An neither apologizes nor provides compensation, it will likely be difficult to investigate the theft of the fish trap.
For Ma Weiqun, this was already a victory.
Yu Kailang walked into the courtyard, pushed open the door first, and whispered, "No matter what others think, my master and I will do our best to help you."
We arrived at a conference room.
People from the town's police station were sitting on one side of the long table, while people from the neighboring town's police station were sitting opposite them. One of them was an acquaintance, Huang Xuejun, who had previously assisted in the investigation.
Ma Weiqun was also there, his expression perfectly conveying the attitude of "I am the victim".
Yu Kailang led Wu An to sit down.
Wu An, looking completely calm, first explained the situation: Ma Weiqun stole the fish trap—no, to be precise, it was outright robbery; they threw stones to protect the fish trap.
Ma Weiqun was an experienced man and knew how to circumvent the rules, which prevented him from capturing any evidence.
Ma Weiqun naturally denied this claim, insisting that he was innocent and that he had video evidence proving that Wu An committed the crime first, demanding compensation and an apology from Wu An.
Wu An started cursing, and if Yu Kailang hadn't stopped him, he would have even started a fight.
Huang Xuejun was furious, saying he had never seen such a stubborn person before. He said that Wu An had misunderstood an innocent person but still did not repent, and he scolded and ordered Wu An to apologize and compensate him immediately.
Yu Kailang argued that the apology and compensation could be put aside; the key issue now was whether Ma Weiqun had stolen the fish trap.
Once it is found that it was not a misunderstanding, instead of Wu An apologizing, Ma Weiqun should be arrested and detained!
Even if, after investigation, it is determined to be a misunderstanding, it is not too late to apologize.
Huang Xuejun felt there was nothing more to investigate.
The facts are already laid bare.
The two sides argued about this matter.
In the end, Huang Xuejun relented and left with Ma Weiqun, stating that he would definitely pursue the matter to the end. Judging from Ma Weiqun's appearance, he clearly believed that he was safe and sound.
After Huang Xuejun and Ma Weiqun left.
Wu An also left.
Upon arriving at the market, Gao Qiangqi was not there, but he had already spoken to A Jin. He went into the office, retrieved the USB drive that was on the table, and used the computer next to him to confirm that it was working correctly.
Ah Jin said, "Brother An, if you ask me, we should have the boss find two boats to follow you. If they steal fish traps, we'll sink them and their boats into the sea."
"A one-time solution that also satisfies my anger!"
Wu An smiled and said, "Next time there's a chance, I'll do as you say."
"Okay, I'm going now."
He didn't say much. Ah Jin's method was good, but if something went wrong, how many lives did he have to pay for it?
Back in the village.
Go find Lao Xie first.
After receiving the order and looking at it, the income was not bad. The giant squid was 25 yuan per catty, and there were 2,400 catties in total, which would bring in 60,000 yuan. The red grouper, tiger grouper, and rock squid were sold for 10 yuan each, for a total of 84,000 yuan.
The income is still pretty good.
Wu An was quite satisfied.
The money was split up via mobile phone transfer.
Aqing immediately called, and Wu An chatted with him for a few minutes. After learning that Aqing was ready, Wu An gave him a few more instructions.
When Wu An's family saw that he had returned so quickly, they breathed a sigh of relief. Wu An told them not to worry, that they were the victims, that was a fact, and that no one could smear them like that.
It was getting dark.
Wu An was eating when A Qing called, saying that she saw Ma Weiqun leading several people to Lin Bin's house.
Upon hearing this, Wu An threw down his bowl and chopsticks.
Go out.
We arrived at Lin Bin's house.
Aqing is still hiding in that alley, and Wu An has also hidden there.
You can clearly hear the sounds inside the house; Cao is laughing so happily!
"Brother, it was Lin Bin who was behind this!"
"Damn it!"
"Let's set his house on fire tonight."
Aqing cursed and swore.
Wu An's eyes were icy: "But that would be too easy on this kid."
Is Lin Hu home?
Aqing was taken aback: "No, when I was keeping watch, I saw Lin Hu go out fishing. He was scolded by his wife and told not to come back home unless he caught fish worth several hundred yuan."
Wu An sneered, "Alright, it's time to light this bomb."
Now that it's confirmed that Lin Bin is behind this, there's no need to tolerate it any longer. We can expose the evidence directly. As for the relationship between Lin Bin and Ma Weiqun, Yu Kailang will naturally investigate it thoroughly.
Good.
This score doesn't need to wait overnight; it can be settled clearly today.
