"You …" Seeing that the police were really going to take Chen Xing and the others to the police station, Mr. Zhong anxiously tried to stop them. Zhong Ling, who was beside him, stretched out her hand and stopped her father, shaking her head slightly.
"Xiao Ling, what should we do? They are going to take them to the police station." Mr. Zhong said anxiously.
"Dad, don't worry. He will be fine. It won't be long before he comes back safe and sound. Those policemen may even send him back in a sedan chair." Zhong Ling laughed in a low voice.
Mr. Zhong looked at his daughter in confusion. He didn't understand what his daughter was saying. Mr. Zhong didn't have the mood to think about it. He stomped his feet and said, "What happened today? You were blackmailed to your doorstep and even caused your friend to be arrested and sent to the police station."
"Dad, don't think too much. He will be sent to the police station." Zhong Ling shook her head and turned to look at Liu Ergou and the others. "As for these people, it is obvious that they are here to blackmail us. Let's ignore them. I want to see if they dare to make trouble tomorrow."
Zhong Ling said this with full confidence. It might be a little troublesome for her to deal with these people, but it was not impossible. Money could make the world go round. If these gangsters could come and make trouble, she could also hire a group of people to deal with them. Evil people would be tortured by evil people. Zhong Ling was not afraid of these people coming to make trouble. However, she happened to meet Chen Xing who came back with her today, so there was no need to go that far. Zhong Ling thought so in her heart.
When the eagle-eyed man and the others saw that Zhong Ling's people were taken to the police station by the senior policeman, they became more arrogant. They secretly thought that the senior policeman was helping them secretly, so they clamored for Zhong Ling and the others to pay for the medical expenses.
"If you don't pay today, you will pay 150,000 yuan tomorrow, not a penny less. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance." A trace of hostility flashed across the eagle-eyed man's face, and he openly threatened them. "Don't think that we are just scaring you. If you really don't pay, we will take action. Don't blame us for being ruthless."
"Okay, you can come again tomorrow and ask for 150,000 yuan." Zhong Ling shrugged indifferently.
"You …" The eagle-eyed man widened his eyes and looked like he was about to hit her. Perhaps he realized that Zhong Ling was a woman, so he relaxed and looked at Zhong Ling lecherously. "You little girl, if you don't pay up, don't blame us for hitting you. Hmph, you're not bad looking. If you serve us well, you can offset part of the compensation."
On the other side, the senior policeman had not gone far with Chen Xing and the others. Hearing the voices behind them, Chen Xing glanced at the two policemen. Didn't you hear what those people said? You police officers are just going to sit back and watch the citizens be terrorized by these hooligans?
What was a gangster? Which eye of yours saw that he was a gangster? He was just protecting his own legitimate rights and interests. Do you understand? The senior policeman smacked his lips and stared at Chen Xing fiercely.
"You want to use threats to protect your own legitimate rights and interests? I don't think these people are protecting their own legitimate rights and interests. They are purely extorting. As for you, you don't look like you are here to solve the dispute. You are more like their accomplices. I suspect that you, as a policeman, are secretly colluding with them. " Chen Xing sneered and looked at him.
"Tsk, if you talk nonsense again, I will sue you for slander and slander the police. You will suffer." The senior policeman looked a little sinister. Although his words were still dignified, he really admired Chen Xing's courage. He had behaved biased in the so-called mediation process just now. In addition, the eagle-eyed man and his gang had done a lot of evil in this area. Many people knew that they had sent out all their backers. Therefore, it was not uncommon for some people to suspect that the policemen had something to do with the eagle-eyed man and his gang. However, the key point was that Chen Xing was the first person who dared to say it out loud. Those villagers who had been wronged in the past only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. Who dared to say that they were in cahoots with the gangsters in front of the police?
In fact, the senior policeman dared to be so unscrupulous because he saw the servility of the villagers. The so-called legal weapon was actually just that. In the countryside, who knew so much? Most of the villagers suffered losses. Most of the villagers suffered losses, but they all gritted their teeth and swallowed it. Everyone was afraid that things would become more and more serious. In the end, they all swallowed their anger. This was actually a kind of servility in the villagers' latent character. Besides, things like the law, if you said it was fair, then it was fair. If you said it was unfair, then it was not wrong. The law was ruthless, but the judges who used the law to judge cases had seven emotions and six desires. Those high-ranking officials who could interfere with the law were not aloof from the world. In the end, it all depended on who had a strong relationship. This was a country where the rule of man was greater than the rule of law. Anything that you could not imagine could happen.
The senior policeman dared to indulge in the extortion of the eagle-eyed man and his gang because he thought that he could handle the villagers. Even if something happened, he could handle it. The eagle-eyed man and his gang had been extorting in the countryside and rarely went to the town center or the urban area. In fact, this was also related to the senior policeman's warning. The residents in the town center or the urban area were not so easy to bully. If they were not careful, it was very likely that they would bump into someone who had a relationship with the town's leaders or the city's leaders. Moreover, it was easy to make a scene in the prosperous areas of the town and the city. If the matter spread, he, a police officer at the police station, would not be able to cover up such a thing. It was the safest choice to start in the countryside.
Chen Xing and the others followed the police to the car. They were squeezed in the back seat with He Qi and Zhang Min. The senior policeman sat in the front passenger seat, staring at the back like a tiger watching its prey. It seemed that he was afraid that Chen Xing and the others would suddenly run away.
Seeing the other party's posture, Chen Xing sneered. "We took the initiative to follow you to the police station. Are you afraid that we will run away?
Who knows if you have any tricks up your sleeves? " The senior policeman snorted slightly. He felt a little embarrassed. As a policeman, he was despised by the other party. It would be strange if he was happy.
The police station was very close to the village and it only took them a few minutes to arrive. No wonder the two policemen were able to arrive so quickly. After alighting from the car, the older policeman whispered a few words to the younger policeman beside him. The younger policeman then brought Chen Xing and the others into the interrogation room of the police station. The older policeman, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen.
"Stay in there and behave yourself." The young policeman took them into the interrogation room and warned them. Then he walked out of the interrogation room. From the sound of the door closing outside, they could vaguely hear that the young policeman seemed to have locked the door.
"Is the county magistrate going to let them do whatever they want?" Seeing the policeman go out, He Qi couldn't help but ask Chen Xing next to him. It was the first time that he had enjoyed such treatment in the interrogation room of the police station. He Qi glanced at Chen Xing carefully and muttered in his heart, "I'm afraid that Chen Xing, the county magistrate, is the first county magistrate to be locked in the interrogation room of the police station."
"It's okay. Let's see what they want." Chen Xing smiled carelessly.
Outside, the young policeman stood in the corridor and waited for a while. Not long after, the senior policeman came out of the director's office, humming a tune. The young policeman hurriedly walked over. "Brother Zhao, what did the boss say?"
"It's nothing more than a few troublemakers. Just scare them a little. The boss doesn't care about this kind of thing." The senior policeman curled his lips.
When the young policeman heard this, he knew that the boss authorized them to do it. As long as they didn't go too far, it would be fine. He followed the footsteps of the senior policeman to the interrogation room. The young policeman hesitated for a moment and said uneasily, "Brother Zhao, these people don't seem to be from the village. Will we get into trouble if we do this?"
"Little Qi, what's going on? You're getting more and more timid. Look at you, you're a top student who graduated from the police academy. Let me tell you, as a policeman, we must not be timid. The timid we are, the less we can do anything. All the benefits will be taken away." The senior policeman glanced at the young policeman next to him and patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "Little Qi, don't be brave enough, and those who are timid will starve to death. You haven't deeply understood this sentence. Think about how your Brother Zhao, I, put on this police uniform, and you should understand."
The young policeman nodded with a smile and no longer said anything. The young policeman could recite the 'legendary story' of the senior policeman backwards. Every time he finished drinking, he would listen to the senior policeman bragging a few times. The young policeman's ears were almost calloused from listening to it. The senior policeman was not a graduate of the police academy, nor was he recruited through a formal examination. He used to be just a member of the joint defense team. At that time, the public security system had not regulated the recruitment of police officers. The senior policeman successfully became a glorious police officer by spending money to bribe the leader.
Of course, this was the version that the young policeman heard in private. This was also the version that he thought was more true. As for the version that came from the mouth of the senior policeman, it became the image of a heroic and fearless member of the joint defense team who actively assisted the police in solving cases. He repeatedly rushed to the forefront and was injured gloriously many times. In view of the contribution of the senior policeman, the leader of the Public Security Bureau made an exception to let the senior policeman become a regular police officer. He was then assigned to the grassroots police station for training. The young policeman had lost count of how many times he had heard the senior policeman's boasting. In this regard, the young policeman sneered in his heart. No matter how he looked at him, he did not think that the senior policeman was a person who could make meritorious deeds. It was possible that he would do something bad instead.
While criticizing the senior policeman in his heart, the young policeman's face showed a humble look of being taught. He was just a student who had just graduated from the police academy and was assigned to the grassroots police station. If he did not follow the senior policeman, he would not be able to survive in a place like the police station. Take the matter at hand as an example. The young policeman could not put up with the senior policeman's extortion and blackmail. At first, the young policeman could not put up with it. When he just came out of the police academy, he was more or less hot-blooded. At least he still had a pure and righteous heart. He had once seriously taught the hawk-eyed man and his gang a lesson.
Later, the senior policeman came out to make peace, saying that the flood had broken the Dragon King's temple. Everyone was family. The young policeman was very angry. He felt that he should not associate with these hooligans. If he did, what difference would there be between a policeman and a hooligan? Later, because the senior policeman shielded him, the young policeman could not control the hawk-eyed man and his gang, so he simply closed his eyes. However, the young policeman was very angry and did not fit in with the senior policeman. As a result, the young policeman sadly found that when he was not fitting in with the senior policeman, the entire police station seemed to be not fitting in with him. From the leader of the police station to the colleagues around him, everyone was polite and alienated from him. Although the leader of the police station would occasionally care about whether he could adapt to the work in the police station, the young policeman could see that the leader's eyes were filled with vigilance and alienation.
In order to integrate into this system, in order not to be abandoned by this job, the young police officer abandoned himself, his beliefs, and his own personality, and colluded with the older police officer. This period of time only lasted for a short half a year. Half a year had witnessed a young police academy graduate filled with fighting spirit and a sense of justice degenerate into colluding with gangsters in society and colluding with them.
There were too many unfair and dirty things in this society. So what if he became a policeman? He was still powerless in many things. If he wanted to resist and resist, in the end, he would only cause himself to be isolated by others. The ancient literati said that the world was drunk, but he was the only sober one. In the eyes of today's young policeman, it was just a joke. If he wanted to live a better life, he could only work hard to adapt. When everyone was drunk, then he would also be drunk.
He stepped forward and opened the door of the interrogation room. The young policeman followed the senior policeman in and glanced at Chen Xing and the others with dignity. The senior policeman pulled out a chair and sat down. "Xiao Qi, give them a statement."
The young policeman nodded slightly and sat down next to him. He stared at Chen Xing and the others, and his eyes stopped on Zhang Min on the left. "You first." The young policeman said and entered the mechanical procedure. He asked while preparing to fill out the form. Name.
Zhang Min.
Workplace.
Zhang Min looked at Chen Xing for a little inquiry. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't have any expression, Zhang Min told him the truth. Ximen County Logistics Service Center.
The young policeman's pen paused slightly. He turned his head and exchanged a look with the senior policeman, then continued. Position.
No position. Driver. Zhang Min looked indifferent.
The young policeman and the senior policeman looked at each other again. The more the other party answered, the more uneasy they felt. In the county logistics service center, a driver was likely to be the leader's driver. The young policeman and the senior policeman both had some scruples in their hearts. The senior policeman pondered for a moment. On second thought, the other party was from Ximen County, and this was Jian 'an City. What was there to be afraid of? He couldn't help but become courageous again. He winked at the young policeman, indicating that he should continue to ask.
"What about you?" The young policeman began to ask Chen Xing, who was sitting in the middle.
"I'll go first." He Qi, who was sitting on the right, spoke up for Chen Xing. Before the young policeman could ask, He Qi had already reported everything. Name: He Qi, Organization: Ximen County People's Government Office, Position: Chief of the Secretarial Section.
As soon as He Qi's voice fell, the young policeman used too much force with his pen and directly cut a seam on the paper. The young policeman stared at He Qi in a daze. The next moment, the young policeman suddenly came to his senses and looked at Chen Xing with an even more horrified expression. Whether it was Zhang Min before or He Qi now, they both respected Chen Xing. From the fact that Chen Xing could sit in the middle of the main seat, it could be seen that there was something fishy about Chen Xing. Thinking of the unit and position that Zhang Min and He Qi had just reported, Chen Xing's identity was already obvious.
The older policeman on the side was also slightly shocked. He subconsciously sat up straight, no longer as casual as before. He looked at He Qi in surprise, and then the eyes of the older policeman also fell on Chen Xing. His expression was uncertain, as if he was having a mental struggle. After more than ten seconds, the older policeman's expression gradually calmed down. He turned to the young policeman and said, "Little Qi, what are you waiting for? Continue to ask questions."
"Ah?" The young policeman was stunned. He looked at the older policeman, thinking that he had heard wrong. It was not until he got confirmation from the older policeman's face that the young policeman looked at Chen Xing with some surprise and uncertainty. "Name." When the young policeman asked this question, he was obviously not confident enough.
"Are you sure you want to continue to ask questions?" Chen Xing stared at the young policeman.
"Just answer the questions. What are you talking about?" The older policeman scolded him and took the pen and file from the hands of the young policeman. He wanted to register himself. "What's your name?"
"Chen Xing."
"Where's the unit?"
"Ximen County People's Government Office."
"What position?" As the older policeman spoke, his ears also pricked up. From the fingers holding the pen, it could be seen that the older policeman was also a little nervous.
