Chapter 169 The Jing Family Problem



Hang Siyuan could only say, "I don't know if she's scared or not, but your old boss said she's a bit delicate."

Zhu Jiabao always complains that his child is spoiled, has a bad temper, and is lazy—he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He used to just listen, but now he doesn't even want to hear it anymore. The child's complaints are so exaggerated they could form a Yellow River.

Qi Shan became anxious: "I'm hanging up now, go check on her quickly."

Hang Siyuan, whose call was disconnected: ...

Yao Jianian, sitting opposite him, chuckled and said, "It's rare to see you get such a humiliation."

Not many people dare to hang up on Hang Siyuan. After all, Hang Siyuan appears to be refined and cultured on the surface, but he is actually very petty and holds grudges for decades.

Hang Siyuan said helplessly, "I just don't understand. Zhu Jiabao is petty and holds grudges for over a decade. He takes revenge on anyone he can find. How come so many people still remember him?"

Yao Jianian looked at Hang Siyuan with a complicated expression. "Don't you know your own temper? How dare you talk about others like that?"

Zhu Fanfan fell silent. The interrogators sensed that she had powerful connections, but she remained silent no matter what they asked. The police also remained silent, since they couldn't do anything to a child.

The situation was less harmonious on Fang Zhiguo's side. As soon as he entered, Fang Zhiguo was about to take out his senior sergeant's certificate when he was immediately warned by the police officer on the other side: "Stop! Behave yourself, this is the police station."

Fang Zhiguo explained, "I used my own identification."

The police officer immediately pointed at the person and said, "Sit down across from me. We will naturally check your identity. Now answer the questions honestly."

Fang Zhiguo obeyed, and the police began asking, "What's your name?"

Fang Zhiguo.

Where are you from?

"Sichuan Province."

“We are police officers. Don’t try to fool me. The accent in Sichuan province isn’t like this. Tell the truth.”

Fang Zhiguo obediently confessed: "I have lived in Beijing for many years and my accent has changed."

The police didn't believe them: "Your accent doesn't sound like it's from Beijing. Be honest, we don't want to use violence."

Fang Zhiguo said directly, "I am a soldier, and I have proof."

The police watched as he reached into his pocket, searched for a long time but couldn't find it. Fang Zhiguo became anxious. This was proof of his identity and proof of his ability. If he lost it, it meant that he had failed the mission and it was a questioning of his ability.

The police didn't have the patience to wait for him to produce his identification; they'd seen plenty of people trying to get away with it by claiming their identity but unable to produce any.

"Fang Zhiguo, confess honestly, why did you rob Jing Shangwa? Qian Da tried to stop you, but you ignored him and beat him up. Do you plead guilty?"

Fang Zhiguo naturally refused: "It was Qian Da who threatened Jing Shangwa; I was just helping him out."

The police didn't believe it: "My colleague just said they all confessed, unanimously concluding that you robbed and beat Jing Shangwa, and that you beat up Qian Da and his group who tried to stop you. If you confess honestly, you'll suffer less. We won't be lenient with suspects. Quickly confess honestly why you beat others?"

Fang Zhiguo was furious: "I swear on my future that what I said is true. You want to pin the crime on me? Do you even deserve the clothes you wear? It's because of people like you who call a deer a horse that the country becomes corrupt..."

The rest were all long-winded explanations, which he had seen many times before. The police first tested him, then hinted at his intentions, and finally wanted him to take the blame, but he absolutely refused to compromise.

However, the police are not to be trifled with. They have plenty of ways to get people to confess to crimes. Nowadays, the law doesn't have that many rules and regulations, so beating criminals is commonplace. Fang Zhiguo also used this method, and the result was that the two sides started fighting in the house.

Not long after, someone knocked on Zhu Fanfan's door. As soon as she entered, two police officers saluted: "Good morning, Chief."

Qi Shan nodded, and seeing the little girl, he tried his best to smile kindly: "You must be Chief Zhu's granddaughter? I am Qi Shan. Director Hang sent me. You can call me Uncle Qi. This is just a routine questioning. Just tell the truth."

He pushed the two policemen away, saying, "You can leave now. I'll handle the questioning. You look fierce; don't scare the little girl."

Two police officers: ...Why don't you look in the mirror and see who looks more like a fierce demon?

Qi Shan took out his notebook and began to ask, "Tell me what you saw this morning. I'll take notes. Don't be afraid, just tell the truth. If there's anything you can't say, I won't record it for you."

Zhu Fanfan: ...There's no need to be so biased.

Perhaps afraid of scaring people, Qi Shan grinned and said, "Uncle Qi and your uncle are sworn brothers. Now that you're here, no one can bully you. Speak freely and without worry."

Zhu Fanfan: ...It's as if she committed a crime, and he's going to give her false testimony.

Faced with Qi Shan's good intentions, Zhu Fanfan simply said that she had heard about bank robberies and came here out of curiosity with Fang Zhiguo. They happened to witness Boss Qian robbing a bank, so she asked Fang Zhiguo to meddle.

After briefly explaining the situation, Zhu Fanfan offered his opinion: "I suspect Inoue Frog is an enemy agent. The surname Inoue is usually only found in small countries like Japan. Moreover, he stole Uncle Fang's soldier's ID card while Uncle Fang was comforting him."

Uncle Fang has such a unique aura; anyone can tell he's either a soldier or a veteran. For Inoue to dare steal something like that, there's something fishy going on.

Qi Shan became vigilant. Shanghai is one of the major economically developed cities. The first mayor to come here has now been awarded the rank of marshal, which shows the importance the country attaches to this place. He was entrusted with an important task and came to the Public Security Bureau. He has been promoted to the current director of the Public Security Bureau and has been rooted here for nearly ten years in order to maintain the stability of this place.

Only ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many enemy agents were hiding in the country. One batch after another was exposed, but enemy agents and spies continued to emerge like weeds. People were constantly tempted by the generous offers and became members of the group that harmed the country.

Qi Shan was somewhat suspicious, so he called in a policeman: "You're a native resident here, what's the deal with the frog in the well?"

Without a second thought, the police officer said, "The Jing family is quite strange. The whole family are workers, but the men change wives quite frequently. Jing Shang Frog is called Jing Shang Frog because when he was born, a frog appeared in the well, so his father simply called him Jing Shang Frog. Later, he disliked the name and changed it to Jing Shang."

Zhu Fanfan asked, "Have their wives all gotten divorced?"

The police explained: "The women in the family all died in childbirth. Normally, this kind of situation would be taboo for many people, but the Jing family always brought wives from the countryside, and they were all relatives of the ex-wives. Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a bit strange."

In the end, even the police themselves were puzzled. Every child born was a difficult birth, and all the babies were boys; none of the girls survived. As a result, many of the Jing family's children did not share a mother, and it was said that the parents did not take much care of their children.

Qi Shan sensed something was amiss. He had always prided himself on the fact that no one would commit crimes under his watchful eye, and for the past ten years he thought he had done a good job. Little did he know that the Jing family was the problem, and he had to investigate.
