Chapter 40: Reporting Crime is Everyone’s Responsibility
"When I was young, I was a miner. The workers in the mine would feed the mice with the dry food they brought. As long as the mice were alive, we could work with peace of mind. One year, the mine collapsed, and I and other colleagues were trapped inside for three days and three nights. In the end, we were led by two mice to find a way out..."
From then on, the hunchbacked old man treated mice as gods. He never drove them away and often shared his food with them.
Perhaps most people think that rats are unlucky things, but he is different. If there were no rats, he would have died in that mine long ago.
After receiving the compensation, the old man found a spouse and brought a stepson to live with him. The old man had no children in his life, and almost all his earnings were given to his spouse and stepson. But who would have thought that after his spouse passed away the year before last, the stepson's attitude towards him changed immediately.
When he paid the household allowance, he would be given food to eat and allowed to sleep in a shabby and leaky little room. Otherwise, he would be cursed from time to time. He endured it in silence just to have a bed to sleep on and food to eat, but he was eventually kicked out.
"Uncle, call the police!" Jiang Shiyan said angrily, "You raised him when he was young, so he has the obligation to take care of you when you are old, and the house is still yours!"
"The police will never care about the affairs of an old man like me. I don't have money to hire a lawyer to sue me..." the old man said with a wry smile.
More importantly, the house was originally in the name of the deceased spouse, and has now been inherited by his stepson.
"Squeak!"
The mouse suddenly started barking at Jiang Shiyan.
Jiang Shiyan frowned even more when she heard this: "Is he still beating you at home?"
The old man turned his head away unnaturally.
"Squeaky!!!"
After hearing this, Jiang Shiyan immediately decided to call the police!
She took out her cell phone and was about to call the police, but Jiang Yiheng pulled her to a nearby place and asked in a low voice, "This matter is not easy to handle. Even if you call the police, they can only mediate. After all, it is someone else's private matter. Even if you can save him temporarily, you can't save him forever."
"This is not just elder abuse." Jiang Shiyan looked at the hunchbacked old man and whispered in Jiang Yiheng's ear, "His stepson is also involved in gambling. There is an underground casino hidden here."
Jiang Yiheng was shocked: "How did you know?"
Jiang Shiyan looked at the little things on the ground.
"..."
Fine.
Reporting crime is everyone’s responsibility.
The brother and sister took the old man to the police station to report the crime, after all, they had some acquaintances there.
Jiang Shiyan has almost become a familiar face in this district police station. When the police on duty saw her leading an old man who was collecting rubbish in, their first reaction was "another case."
In the minds of all of them, Jiang Shiyan has become the mascot of their branch.
After explaining how the old man had been abused and beaten, the policewoman poured him a cup of hot tea. Seeing that he had not eaten for a day, she took the initiative to make him some noodles and gave him some bread, letting him sit outside to eat.
Jiang Shiyan told the story about the underground casino hidden in the night market.
The police thought to themselves that this was indeed the case.
After beating the leader and asking for instructions from their superiors, the police department immediately decided to take temporary action and raid the underground casino.
"Ah, so fast?" Jiang Shiyan was caught off guard by them.
"We want to catch them by surprise." The policeman smiled and said, "Ms. Jiang, thank you for the information you provided. It would be even better if you could provide the approximate location of the underground casino. This would greatly save our police time and not give the gamblers any chance to escape!"
"Then... may I ask?"
Fortunately, Jiang Yiheng was still waiting for her outside, and the mice he had caught before were still in the car.
However, the mice she caught seemed unfamiliar with the underground casino, so Jiang Shiyan turned to ask the old man.
The old man remained silent.
The female police officer probably saw what he knew, and gently advised: "Old man, if you know anything, you must tell our police. This is to crack down on gambling crimes, and there are rewards for reporting."
"Uncle, he beat you and kicked you out. You don't need to worry about him. Gamblers should be arrested!" Jiang Shiyan also said.
After a while, the old man finally said the name of a store.
The shop was not far from his home, just across two alleys. During the day, it was just an ordinary grain and oil shop selling dry goods, but as long as he said the secret code, he could enter the shop.
Although the old man had never been in there, he had heard his stepson mention it when he was drunk, and he had also found it when he was picking up trash.
"Uncle, thank you for the clues you provided. Don't worry, we will definitely help you!"
Jiang Shiyan glanced at the driver's window. Jiang Yiheng rolled down the window. Seeing her flattering smile, he seemed to have anticipated her next move: "Take these mice away. They're so creepy in my car!"
"Okay." Jiang Shiyan grunted and took the mouse cage down from the trunk.
Where to put it?
The police station, of course!
These mice were full and Jiang Shiyan coaxed them into eating some delicious food. They were just kept in cages for one night, so there was no big problem.
However, the police, especially the female policewoman, almost screamed out of fright when they saw her carrying in a cage of mice. After listening to Jiang Shiyan's explanation, they barely suppressed the fear in their hearts, but there was a little more fear in their eyes when they looked at her.
Jiang Shiyan put the cage in the most inconspicuous corner with a dry smile, and repeatedly reminded them not to bark or scratch the cage.
After receiving the police mission, Yan Anting rushed back to the police station as soon as possible.
"It's you again." The members of Yan Anting's team had already been familiar with Jiang Shiyan.
"Yeah, it's me again." Jiang Shiyan responded dryly.
Yan Anting patted his colleague on the shoulder and said, "Alright, change your clothes quickly and get ready to go out on the police!"
An hour later, the police had quietly blocked all exits near the underground casino.
Yan Anting led his team to the door of the grain and oil shop secretly under the cover of night, then hid in a corner above the shop where the surveillance camera could not see, and nodded slightly at Jiang Shiyan.
Jiang Shiyan took a deep breath, mustered up the courage, walked forward and knocked on the rolling door.
"It's late at night and you can't let me sleep. Who is it? Knock, knock, knock?"
"I came to watch the game!" Jiang Shiyan lowered his voice and deliberately spoke in a plastic Mandarin with an earthy accent, "A fellow villager introduced me here. He said you have a live broadcast..."
"Female? No no, go away!"
Jiang Shiyan continued, "I brought some beer peanuts. My fellow villager said you have a lot of competitions here. Let's watch them together and share the points! The men at home are too cowardly. It's more fun to go out and have fun."
After a while, the rolling door slowly opened a crack.
Jiang Shiyan squatted down and showed her bag to the people inside. There were a lot of red bills stacked in the bag.
"My hands are itching, bro, let me in for a try." Jiang Shiyan licked his lips and rubbed his hands. "That jerk from South Lane came to my hair salon before. He recommended it to me. It's the hair salon at xx. If you don't believe me, just ask..."
Although they didn't see Jiang Shiyan's face, they could tell from his voice that he was a newcomer. The people in the underground casino were still very vigilant and made a phone call in front of Jiang Shiyan.
Through the rolling door, Jiang Shiyan was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out. Fortunately, her bag was blocking the view so no one could see her trembling calves. Except for the top few bills in her bag, the rest were almost all real training money.
If the people inside were to check the money in her bag, she would definitely be exposed!
