Dongping County Public Security Bureau.
As soon as Li Dong and his group entered the police station, a policeman in the hall asked, "What's the matter?"
"We're looking for someone."
Li Dong asked, "Where's Li Chengyuan now?"
"Li Chengyuan?" The policeman was confused.
Li Dong reminded him, "He just came in. He sells fish in the market."
"Oh!"
The policeman immediately remembered. There weren't many arrests in the county every day, and there were even fewer cases today. He naturally knew the fish seller who was just arrested.
He looked at Li Dong, then looked at Zhou Haidong, Wang Cheng, and the others behind Li Dong. The policeman's eyes flickered, then he smiled and said, "This is a case from the Criminal Police Unit. He should be in the interrogation room on the second floor now."
"Interrogation room?"
Li Dong frowned, and his tone became colder.
The policeman felt a little uncomfortable under Li Dong's gaze. He coughed and explained, "Don't misunderstand. It's called an interrogation room, but it's actually a small office. The Criminal Police Unit usually handles cases there."
Li Dong nodded and said, "Thank you!"
After that, he didn't stop and led them straight to the second floor.
The policeman downstairs rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Chen Li wouldn't have caused trouble, right?"
Li Dong's group was obviously a big shot. The policeman in the hall had received people a thousand times, but at least eight hundred times.
However, Li Dong and the others gave him a lot of pressure, especially Wang Cheng and the others behind Li Dong. The feeling of being stared at made him feel like he was being stared at by an instructor in the army who wanted to find fault with him.
The policeman shook his head and couldn't be bothered to think too much.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with him. Even if Chen Li offended someone, it didn't have much to do with him. Those guys from the Criminal Police Unit were all arrogant, and it wouldn't be bad if they suffered some losses.
…
Interrogation room on the second floor.
When Li Dong arrived, the door was open.
Just as the policeman downstairs said, it was called an interrogation room, but in fact, it was very different from what Li Dong had imagined. It was just a small office.
The only difference from an office was probably the lack of a computer. The other desks and sofas were all there.
Li Dong saw Li Chengyuan at a glance. Li Chengyuan was standing at the desk and smiling.
Behind the desk sat a middle-aged man in his forties in plain clothes. The man had a cigarette in his mouth and said casually, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "Officer Chen, I've said everything I know. You see, I'm still confused."
The man called Officer Chen flicked the ash off his cigarette and snorted, "Whether you're confused or not, it's still against the law, do you understand?"
"The statement is done. Sign it."
Li Chengyuan sighed. He picked up the pen and was about to sign when he heard someone shouting behind him, "Dad, are you okay?"
Li Chengyuan put down his pen and looked back at Li Dong. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm fine. Why are you here?"
"Since you're here, how could I not come?"
Li Dong responded. Then, he looked at the middle-aged policeman and asked, "Did you do what happened to my dad?"
Chen Li raised his eyebrows. This was not polite enough.
He glanced at Li Dong and the others, then at Li Chengyuan. Chen Li said coldly, "Is this a place you can come in? If you want to see him, wait in the lobby! "
Li Dong said calmly, "Don't change the subject. Let me ask you. What law did my dad break? What right do you have to arrest him?"
Chen Li frowned. He felt that something was wrong.
If this was an ordinary person, he would definitely be frightened by his cold stare. But now it seemed that the other party was fearless.
However, he was not too worried. The son of a vegetable market vendor could not have a powerful background.
He could only say that the other party was too young. The ignorant were fearless.
As for Zhou Haidong and the others, Chen Li ignored them. No matter how powerful they were, they would not dare to attack the police in the Public Security Bureau.
Hearing Li Dong's question, Chen Li said unhappily, "It's not up to you to say whether he broke the law or not! Li Chengyuan is suspected of illegally selling precious and endangered wild animals under national protection. You look like a scholar. Do you think this is illegal? "
Li Dong glanced at him and said to Li Chengyuan, "Dad, tell me."
Li Chengyuan was already depressed.
Hearing Li Dong's question, he immediately explained.
After listening to Li Chengyuan's story, Li Dong finally understood the whole story.
It was actually a very simple matter. In the morning, when Li Chengyuan opened his stall, a farmer from the countryside came and said that he wanted to sell wild fish to Li Chengyuan.
This was very common in the market. Often, there would be farmers or traders selling fish to these vendors at a lower price.
Li Chengyuan did not pay much attention to it. In addition, wild fish were more popular, so he immediately bought all the fish in the other party's hands.
There were all kinds of fish. There were silver carp, chubby fish, snakehead fish …
Anyway, there were a lot of fish, and the prices were relatively cheap. Li Chengyuan did not choose and bought all of them.
However, this matter was strange. Before Li Chengyuan could make a few transactions, Chen Li brought two people to the market to arrest someone.
The person they arrested was Li Chengyuan. The reason was just as Chen Li had said. Li Chengyuan was suspected of illegally selling animals under national protection.
As for what animal it was, almost everyone had heard of it. It was a giant salamander, also known as a giant salamander.
This thing was very rare in Dongping, and most people did not know it.
Li Chengyuan naturally did not know it, but Chen Li had found a giant salamander in the pile of fish just now. As for whether it was real or not, although Li Chengyuan had been a fishmonger for many years, he was not sure.
Since Chen Li said it was, and the other party was a police officer, Li Chengyuan naturally had nothing to say.
The giant salamander was a second-class protected animal. Whether it was wild or farmed, as long as it was sold without a license, it was illegal.
This led to what happened next. Li Chengyuan's stall was confiscated and he was directly taken to the police station.
When Li Chengyuan finished speaking, Li Dong knew something was wrong. Someone must have deliberately set him up!
How could there be such a coincidence? He had just collected the fish, and the police came right after?
Also, for such cases, the Bureau of Industry and Commerce would be the first to take action. It was not the criminal police team's turn to take action.
This Chen Li had gone to the market in the blink of an eye. Li Dong would not believe that there was no conspiracy.
Also, the giant salamander was almost non-existent in Dongping. Even Li Chengyuan, a veteran in the aquaculture industry, did not recognize it. How did Chen Li, a police officer, recognize it?
He even found it in the pile of fish. He had sharp eyes!
A cold look flashed in Li Dong's eyes. He stared at Chen Li and said, "Officer Chen, right? Can I ask you a few questions? "
Chen Li exhaled a mouthful of smoke and frowned. "Tell me."
"How did you know that my dad had giant salamanders in his stall?"
"The public reported it."
"Who reported it?"
"Is this something you should ask?" Chen Li gave him a sideways glance and said unhappily.
Li Dong smiled and did not mind. He asked again. "Then let me ask again. How will my dad be dealt with in the end?"
"Fine and detained."
"How much? How long?"
"Ten or twenty thousand. Since it is your dad's first time, he will be detained for a month."
Li Dong smiled again. Fine ten or twenty thousand, and detained for a month.
If it was an ordinary vendor, the punishment would be very heavy. Ten or twenty thousand was about one or two years of profit.
As for being detained for a month, it was even more troublesome. In less than a month, it would be Lunar New Year, which meant that Li Chengyuan would have to spend the Lunar New Year in the detention center.
Chen Li glanced at Li Dong and snorted. "I have told you everything. Now, please leave!"
Li Dong ignored him and questioned, "Officer Chen, isn't it a bit against the rules to try a case like this? Are you the only one who can settle this?"
Chen Li stared at him and shouted. "How I handle the case is none of your business! Hurry up and leave. Believe it or not, I will sue you for obstructing official business! "
"That's a good accusation. Hehe."
Li Dong laughed and ignored him. He took out his phone and made a call.
Although Chen Li was unhappy, he did not stop him.
After all, he had been a police officer for many years. It was impossible for him to be blind.
It was normal to make a phone call to ask for help. If it was someone with a strong background, there was still room for negotiation. He was not afraid of offending someone.
But if his connections were not strong enough, then he would be fined ten or twenty thousand. As for how long he would be detained, it was hard to say.
It was human nature to eat according to the plate.
Li Dong's voice was not loud. He hung up after a few words.
After hanging up, Li Dong called out to Li Chengyuan. "Dad, take a seat. It's tiring to stand."
He pulled Li Chengyuan, who was a little nervous, to sit on the sofa.
Although Li Chengyuan knew that Li Dong's business was quite big, ordinary people had a very serious mindset. In his opinion, the police were not to be trifled with.
Even if his son's business was good, it would not be good if he offended the police.
Li Dong did not comfort him. He called out to Li Lan. "Xiao Lan, come and sit. We will go back later."
Chen Li's eyes were a little gloomy. His tone was not small.
But he didn't say anything. Since the other party said that he could go back in a while, the call that should come should come soon, or maybe someone would come directly.
As for what their relationship was, he would find out later.
This kid was so arrogant. It would be fine if they had a good relationship. But if they did not, he would be in trouble!
The interrogation room was silent for a while.
Time passed. Chen Li smoked a few cigarettes and said impatiently, "What a big tone. Are you messing with me?"
"Let me tell you. If no one comes today, don't leave later!"
Just as he finished speaking, someone shouted from outside the door. "Chen Li!"
Chen Li was startled. He looked at the door and hurriedly got up. "Chief Niu, why are you here?"
The person called Chief Niu was a balding man in his fifties. He glared at Chen Li and ignored him. Then, he looked at Li Dong and smiled. "General Manager Li, what a rare guest!"
Li Dong got up and extended his hand. "Chief Niu, it's been almost a year since we last met."
"More or less. General Manager Li is very busy. How would he have the time to visit an old friend?" Chief Niu joked. He extended his hand and shook Li Dong's hand.
Regarding Li Dong, Chief Niu could be said to know him very well.
Last year, he was the owner of a supermarket in Dongping. At that time, he begged them to help him.
But he turned around and went to Pingchuan in the provincial capital to develop his business. Far away, Chief Niu had heard his name in Dongping for more than a year.
