Chapter Eighteen
Seeing that the emotions of everyone present had calmed down a little, Xiao Yi said loudly again.
"I'm Xiao Yi. If you have any hidden grievances, you can tell me. I can do whatever I can and it's my duty to do so!"
An old man with gray hair knelt down for two steps and said: "Captain Xiao, my grain and oil shop was smashed by the Sihai Gang. The oil that we worked so hard to extract... was spilled all over the floor..."
At the end of the speech, he burst into tears, which made people feel sad.
"Zhenshen, my husband died miserably. Just because he disagreed with the people of Chiayi Hall and defaulted on his debts, he was injured and died within two days of returning home. Wuwu..."
"That Chiayi Hall is the most shameless. He comes to my shop every day to eat, and then leaves after eating. He never pays them, doesn't let them eat, and then smashes my stall!"
"Captain Xiao, my daughter has been lost. She is only sixteen years old, oh...oh..."
…
"Stop! Everyone be quiet! Listen to me!!!" Xiao Yi shouted, which shocked Liu Mingliang and made his ears buzz. He quietly moved two steps to the side quietly.
The people who were crying calmed down again.
Xiao Yi quickly said: "Old Liu, please call a few more people. Anyone with grievances should record it and show it to me."
After speaking, he pointed at Liu Mingliang and said to everyone: "I can understand everyone's feelings, but such a mess will not solve the problem at all. If you have any grievances, tell him and he will record them all."
"Everyone can rest assured that in the name of catching the gods, I guarantee that I will do my best to seek justice for everyone!"
Boom!
The old man from the grain and oil shop kowtowed heavily to Xiao Yi, unable to kneel down.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Others did the same, kowtowing to Xiao Yi one after another. Many people continued to kowtow with blood on their foreheads. The scene was tragic, but also had a kind of abnormal grandeur.
This scene shocked him deeply!
He felt extremely tight in his chest, his nose was sore, and he could hardly breathe...
Xiao Yi bent down deeply, slowly bowed his hands, and then stepped into the county government office.
…
Walking into the prison lobby, I found that there were not many people today.
He found a seat and sat down, poured a cup of tea, and drank it quietly.
After more than half an hour, Liu Mingliang came belatedly, found Xiao Yi and said, "I have recorded everything."
"How many victims were involved in total?"
"Thirty-seven."
Xiao Yi looked up and said in surprise: "So many?"
Liu Mingliang nodded and said: "I estimate that there are actually more victims, but some are timid and fearful of trouble. They choose to stay calm rather than wade into such muddy waters."
"Who is involved?"
"The Four Seas Gang, the Chivalry Hall, the Little Knife Club, the Big Knife Gang, and the Beggars Gang are mainly these five local gang organizations, as well as other scattered local gangsters."
Although I had expected that things would not be trivial this time, I did not expect that so many forces would be involved, and I was a little stunned for a while.
"Zhenshen, I just made a deliberate inquiry. It doesn't seem like someone planned this incident. The main reason is related to the loss of human life. The Chen family and the Gao family came forward to seek justice for themselves, and other victims also followed suit.
.”
"That's it..." Liu Mingliang whispered his speculation.
"Public grievances have been accumulated for too long, and they are all gone at once!" Xiao Yi sighed.
Speaking of these gang organizations, he is actually the one who suffers. When he first came here, as soon as his fried chicken shop opened, there were members of the Sihai Gang who came to collect protection fees. They didn't have to pay.
Every day, people will come to your shop to cause trouble. Some people refuse to pay after eating, and some people claim that they ate flies and demand compensation...
He was very wise and paid the protection fee in time every month, so that the fried chicken shop could continue to operate safely.
When he later became a detective, the Sihai Gang took the initiative to return the protection fee, which shows that this is a group of people who bully the weak and fear the strong.
Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said: "Tell Xu Long and Wang Shan to tell all the brothers, except those who have matters at hand, to go out and investigate for me and get information."
After a pause, he continued: "The main three things to check are: how many people there are in these gangs; who has the highest level of martial arts in the gang, what level they are; and whether there are any backers behind them."
Liu Mingliang was startled and whispered: "Are you really ready to come forward?"
Xiao Yi didn't answer and asked instead, "Look at the suffering people outside. Are they pitiful? If you are the person involved, do you want me to stand by and watch?"
Hearing this, Liu Mingliang shrank his neck and said humbly: "It is indeed a god-catcher, and I am ashamed of this courage..."
"Get out! Go out and tell them again."
"Just say... one month... one month, I, Xiao, must give them an explanation, otherwise I will resign as the head catcher!" Xiao Yi said in a deep voice with cold eyes and a determined expression.
"Ah? This..."
"Go, go quickly, I have made up my mind!" Xiao Yi interrupted Liu Mingliang's advice and urged him repeatedly.
Seeing the other party leaving, Xiao Yi placed his fingers on the table, tapping unconsciously, thinking in his mind.
One month is not only the time he gives to those outside, but also the time he sets for himself.
Facing those suffering people and listening to their experiences, he really couldn't turn a blind eye, and he couldn't harden his heart and ignore them. He had humanity and was a living person...
Therefore, faced with Liu Mingliang's obscure advice, he chose not to understand!
If there is any injustice, ask for the sword in your hand!
He longs for the longing rivers and lakes, not the kneeling rivers and lakes...
…
thereafter.
Xiao Yi lived a very regular life. He went to the county government office at Dianmao in the morning to summarize the news from the previous day; in the afternoon, he went home to practice swordsmanship.
Not impatient or impatient, very calm, but beneath this calmness, a volcano is gestating.
His abnormality was quickly noticed by White Snake.
"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you these days? Did something happen..."
"Haha, no, what could happen? I am now a head-catcher and a god-catcher, haven't you heard of it? Who dares to cause trouble for me?"
The white lady frowned, looking a little worried, and continued to ask: "Then... I have never seen you... so diligent before..."
"Ah, this..."
Xiao Yi was speechless for a moment, so he could only make jokes.
"Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful today!"
The white lady was so amused that she had no time to think about anything else.
…
The tenth day.
County government arrest squad lobby.
Xiao Yi sat in the middle, holding a teacup in his hand, quietly listening to Liu Mingliang's report.
"After inquiring and investigating among our three groups in the past few days, we found that the beggar gang is the largest in size and has the largest number of people, with about three thousand people. Basically, they want as long as it is an individual. They value the power of numbers."
"Although the Beggar Gang is the largest, it is the weakest in terms of strength. There are no masters, they are just ruffians who only know some three-legged cat kung fu."
Gang of beggars!
