Chapter 14: An official like a bandit
Erdan's motherly scream alarmed the winery shops who were having breakfast, and everyone ran out one after another.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Erdan's father asked nervously.
"His father, everyone, go to the shopkeeper's house to see. There is no one in the shopkeeper's house. He was thrown into a mess and the cabinet was smashed. It seems something happened." Erdan said panting.
When everyone heard this, they immediately ran to the shopkeeper's house on the slope, but when they arrived at the entrance of the yard, people stopped again. The shopkeeper had leprosy and they usually didn't contact the shopkeeper because they were afraid of getting sick. Even this house on the slope rarely came here.
Everyone looked at the Arhat one after another.
Luohan is the foreman of a winery, the oldest and knows how to make wine. He speaks the most prestigious among these people. Luohan glanced at everyone, walked in with a hard head, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, are you here?"
No one echoed in the house.
The Luohan walked into the house and saw the table turning over the kang, the cabinet was smashed, in a mess, and he looked like he had been ravaged, and knew something was something big happened.
The guys were also curious and looked around from the wall.
The Luohan walked out and looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid something really happened. Let's look around separately to see if we can find the shopkeeper."
"What if I can't find it?" asked a guy.
"If you can't find it, report it to the official. If the shopkeeper is lost, we dare not hide it." Luo Han said.
The man was scattered for a long time, but he could not find any trace of Li Lefeng. In the end, the Luohan could only take a few people to the city to report to the officials.
This is a big case. Gaomi County is poor, and Shibalipo winery is also a famous place. Police chief Qian Donglai personally brought seven or eight policemen over. Qian Donglai rode a horse, and the soldiers could only run with them. The people who ran from Shibali were panting.
As the police chief, Qian Donglai didn't come out easily, but this time he came because he had a small plan in his heart. This guy is famous for being greedy and lustful. He has been running Shibalipo winery for so many years, and he wants to see if he can make a fortune here.
Stopped in front of Li Lefeng's house, Qian Donglai dared not enter. This was the place where leprosy lived. He was greedy for money but even more cherished his life.
"You, and you, you two go in and check the scene." Qian Donglai said, pointing to the two policemen.
The two guys who were pointed at were bitter, but they didn't dare to disobey the order, so they could only go in with a rough stroke, swept around, and didn't dare to touch anything. They ran out in less than two minutes.
"Report to the Director, the person is gone, there are signs of being robbed and turned around. It is suspected that Li Lefeng was kidnapped."
Qian Donglai scolded two people in his heart for being useless. The guys who reported these things all said, would they still use them to see?
"Can you tell who did the case?" Qian Donglai asked.
The two policemen looked at each other and thought to themselves how we knew. They said, "It's probably done by bandits."
The two guys are pure nonsense, just fool them.
Qian Dong came to the winery guys, "Did you hear anything last night?"
The guys stood together, a little trembling. They were all ordinary people and were most afraid of seeing officials because in their hearts, those who were officials were unreasonable.
"I heard nothing."
"Well, we slept so hard that we heard nothing."
Several people said verbally.
Qian Donglai glanced around and saw that the word "Happy" posted on the door was still new, and asked, "What's wrong with this word "Happy"? Is there a happy event in the winery recently?"
Luo Han said: "Return to the director's words, the shopkeeper married a few days ago, and the new wife returned to the door three days. The boss's wife went back to her parents' house early yesterday morning and has not come back yet."
Qian Donglai's eyes rolled and said, "After three days, a murder case broke out here. There is something strange about it. The new wife is very suspicious. You guys, go and arrest the new wife for me. This director must conduct a good trial."
Four policemen led a friend who recognized the way and rushed to Jiuer's parents' house to arrest Jiuer. At this moment, Jiuer had just had a fight with his father and rode a donkey back to Shibalipo alone. On the way, two gangs met, and the police directly pushed Jiuer back.
Qian Donglai looked at Jiuer who was a little frightened, shook his head secretly, and said to himself: "I look so good. It's a pity that I've been sleeping with Li Lefeng. Li Lefeng even got a good woman before he died. If I hadn't slept with Li Lefeng, I would have got this woman back and used for a few months."
Qian Donglai looked powerful and said in a deep voice: "Speak, are you trying to seize the property of the Li family and collude with others to murder Li Lefeng? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that Li Lefeng was kidnapped a few days after getting married, and his life and death are unknown."
Jiuer was so scared that her face turned pale, but she still insisted on saying, "Mr. Director, I really don't know what happened. I went back to my parents' home, stayed for one night and came back. I don't know anything else."
"Hmph, this little trick doesn't work in front of me at all. If you come, you will be arrested and interrogated in the city for strict interrogation. I don't believe that I can't ask for my accomplices." Qian Donglai shouted.
Several policemen went up to hold Jiuer, and Jiuer struggled so much that they were scared, "The director is wronged. I didn't harm anyone, I really didn't harm anyone."
But even though she became a little more stubborn, she was just a country woman after all. She had never seen such a formation. The guys at the Shaojiufang dared not move, but she sighed in her heart. Jiuer fell into the hands of the government, and it would be difficult to come back with a good life.
Jiuer was taken away and was thrown into the women's prison that night. Jiuer hugged her legs and nested on the thatch in the corner of the wall, and her body kept trembling.
Until now, she didn't know very well what was going on.
Shibalipo winery,
A group of guys sat or lie on the kang, some smoked dry tobacco, some pinched lice, and some clenched their feet. Erdan's mother put the basket on her legs and put the soles of her shoes down.
The Luohan glanced at a group of people, knocked on the cigarette pot, and said, "We can't stand by death and refuse to save this matter. The life and death of the boss's wife is unknown. We must think of a solution."
Ergazi squeezed a lice with his fingernail and frowned and said, "We are just guys, what can we do to work for our boss?"
The Luohan pressed a pot of tobacco and said, "Save the boss's wife first."
"How to save?" Erdan's father asked.
"Spend money, then money Donglai is a famous greedy man in Gaomi County. That guy just wants to blackmail some money. If we don't go to catch people, the boss's wife will definitely not be able to pay it. As long as the money is used, it will be no big problem to get people out." Luo Han said.
"But where did we get the money?" Dazhuang asked.
"Maybe there is still money in the home house." Erzhuang said.
"I have nothing to say about money, I guess I have been plundered by the bandits." Dazhuang said.
"Does Brother Luohan want us to raise money? Our three and a half sons probably won't even be able to get through the police station's concierge." Erdan's father said.
Everyone was silent.
