This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

"Attention all villagers! Attention all villagers! Gather at the brigade immediately! Gather at the brigade immediately!"

Chen Shuning wiped his face, casually placed the hot towel on the basin, turned around, picked up the vanishing cream on the table, and started applying it.

Chen Aiguo, carrying his briefcase, pushed open the door and urged, "Shuning, hurry up! The whole family has gone to the brigade, and you're still dawdling here.

It’s not good to have the whole village waiting for you! Hurry up! Dad will give you a ride!”

Chen Shuning looked at herself in the mirror, then picked up the scarf on the kang and went out.

"Dad, let's go! Take me there so you can go to work!" Chen Shuning walked straight out the door, sat on the back seat of Chen Aiguo's bicycle, and urged, "Hurry up! Dad!"

Chen Aiguo closed the gate, snorted, and said disdainfully: "Hmph~ How dare you rush me! If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have left long ago!"

Chen Aiguo pedaled his bicycle. The road was slippery due to the snow, and he was carrying his daughter, so he didn't dare to ride too fast. He slowly rode towards the brigade.

"Aiguo, are you going to work?"

"Yes! Going to work! Aunt Li, you're taking a walk!"

"Aiguo, when you get home from get off work, can you please see if there's any brown sugar at the supply and marketing cooperative and bring some for me?"

"Okay! If I buy it, I'll send it to your home!"

"Uncle Chen, I have a letter. Could you please mail it for me?"

"No problem, give it to me!"

"Hey! Aiguo, are you going to work or sending a girl off?"

"Hey! I'll take Shuning to the brigade and then go to work!"

……

Chen Shuning sat on the back of his bicycle, occasionally sticking his head out and calling out, "Grandma Li...Aunt Wang...Educated Youth Liu..."

Chen Shuning's voice was crisp and sweet, and she was particularly enthusiastic towards everyone she saw! If I hadn't mentioned it, who would have thought that the person who went crazy and threw a tantrum in the cafeteria last night was her!

Soon, the father and daughter arrived at the gate of the brigade. Chen Shuning jumped off the bicycle swiftly, shouting "Goodbye, Dad!" and rushed into the brigade!

Chen Aiguo looked at his daughter's amazing behavior, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "This child... is so reckless..."

Chen Aiguo turned around, got on his bike and was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone calling him, "Aiguo! Wait a minute!"

Chen Aiguo stopped and looked back. Seeing who it was, he smiled and said, "Oh! It's Secretary Lin!"

Lin Shitou walked over slowly with his hands behind his back and asked casually, "Did you hear about the chicken missing from the village? What do you think?"

Chen Aiguo smiled, glanced towards the brigade, and saw the village chief squatting under the flagpole, smoking his pipe with a sullen face. He raised his voice and said:

"Secretary Lin, you are in charge of this village, so it's not my place to say anything. Are you going to let that chicken thief go?"

Lin Shitou saw Chen Aiguo's actions and knew that he was up to no good, so he laughed out loud: "Haha... Although you work in the town, your household registration is not in our Chenjia Village.

But this is where you grew up, so it's only natural for you to express your opinions!"

Chen Aiguo bent his waist slightly and said with a playful smile: "Then I will tell you."

Lin Shitou looked at the crowd that had gathered and felt very happy. He nodded at Chen Aiguo and signaled him to speak quickly.

Chen Aiguo looked around, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "In my opinion, we really need to find out who this person is!

If it's really what Comrade Wang Erxiu said, that Wang Simin did it, then we have to produce solid evidence! Leave him with no room for argument!

If it was done by someone else, then we must pull out this parasite hiding among the masses!

Secretary Lin, you are a retired soldier, and your ideological awareness is higher than mine. Do you think what I said makes sense?

Lin Shitou smiled and replied, "That makes sense! We can't wrongly accuse a good person, and we can't let a bad person go!"

Wang Siming’s background is indeed not good, but when we arrest people we have to present facts and reason with them!

If we can just throw the blame on someone simply because he has a bad background, then what have we become? What is the difference between our new China and the old society?

Doing so would be a disgrace to the Chairman! It would undermine the revolutionary achievements of the Communist Party! Everyone, tell me, isn't that the truth?

The crowd erupted in applause!

Chen Honglu was squatting under the flagpole, his face changing again and again. He stood up and pushed through the crowd. Just as he was about to speak, the voice that gave him a headache rang out again!

"Oh! Dad, hurry up and go to work! You're going to be late!" After Chen Shuning finished talking to Chen Aiguo, he turned to Secretary Lin and said, "Secretary Lin, you're finally here!

Come in quickly! We must catch this chicken thief today!

You don't know that because you didn't come to the meeting yesterday, the villagers almost made a big mistake! If I hadn't stopped them, our village's selection for the Outstanding Village Collective this year would have been ruined! "

Chen Honglu looked at the dispersing crowd, his expression changing again and again. He cursed in his heart, but he didn't know who to tell. In the end, he could only hold back his anger and followed the villagers into the brigade!

Guo Junshan observed everything that had just happened, his expression impassive. He quietly asked Sun Yuanchao beside him, "Comrade Sun Yuanchao, who were those people just now? Tell me so I can take their statements."

Sun Yuanchao retracted his gaze and introduced with a smile, "The one who just left on his bicycle is Old Chen from the post office. The girl with two pigtails is his daughter, Chen Shuning."

When talking about Chen Shuning, Sun Yuanchao paused and a smile appeared on his face.

Sun Yuanchao then continued, "The middle-aged man in military uniform is the Party Secretary of Chenjia Village. The man standing under the flagpole smoking is Chen Honglu, the village chief of Chenjia Village."

Guo Junshan thought to himself: Is she Chen Shuning? If she doesn't speak, this face is quite deceiving!

Guo Junshan said coldly: "Okay! I remember! Let's go in too!"

Chen Shuning found a corner and sat down. She had caused a scene in the brigade yesterday and another scene in the cafeteria. The villagers were now avoiding her. She knew it well and did not join the crowd.

Soon, the villagers arrived, and the comrades from the police station also arrived, and the meeting officially began!

Chen Honglu spoke first: "Everyone, please be quiet! Let me say something! A few chickens were lost in our village yesterday morning, and they haven't been found yet!

After observation by the village cadres, we suspected that the chickens were stolen! So we reported it to the police station..."

Lin Shitou suddenly spoke up: "The village chief is right! The reason we're holding this meeting today is to catch this chicken thief!

Next, everyone, please share any suspicious people or things you've seen between the night before yesterday and yesterday morning, and provide clues to the comrades at the police station."

Chen Honglu was interrupted and sat down with a sullen face!

Lin Shitou turned around and asked sincerely, "Village Chief, do you have anything else to add?"

Chen Honglu gritted his teeth and said in a gloomy tone, "You've already said everything. What else can I say?"

Lin Shitou smiled, seemingly unaware of what Chen Honglu meant. He turned to Sun Yuanchao and said, "Then let's get started!"

Wang Simin huddled in the corner, secretly looked up at Guo Junshan, smiled, and quickly lowered his head!

Guo Junshan noticed his grandfather's little movements, and seeing that there was nothing abnormal about him, he felt relieved.

It was only last night that he remembered that he had not left any warm clothes for his grandfather. He was worried all night, fearing that his grandfather would get cold.

Wang Erxiu stood up, his hands in his pockets, and said, "Comrade police officer, I think the chicken thief is Wang Simin!

He's a capitalist, used to eating a lot of meat and fish, so he's definitely greedy when he sees a chicken! Stealing a chicken is normal, isn't it?

Chen Hongjiang said in a muffled voice, "My wife is right. Our whole family thinks Wang Simin is the biggest suspect!"

Guo Junshan wrote down their words, raised his head, and asked coldly, "You said Wang Simin stole the chicken. Do you have any evidence? Did you see it with your own eyes? Or did you find any physical evidence?"

Wang Erxiu said doubtfully, "We all think he stole it, so isn't that evidence?"

Sun Yuanchao's eyes widened as he turned to Wang Erxiu and said, "Comrade, we rely on evidence to investigate cases! Since you said Wang Simin stole it, what is your basis for saying that?"

Did you or your family see Wang Simin approach the chicken coop from the night before yesterday to yesterday morning?

Wang Erxiu shook his head and said awkwardly, "Not really..."

Lin Shitou glanced at Chen Honglu, then said to the villagers, "Stealing is illegal! It has a bad impact. Everyone must think carefully before speaking. Don't fabricate facts!"

We must not be like Comrade Wang Erxiu, who, without any evidence, simply claimed that Wang Simin did it! This is a false accusation!

However, we also know that Comrade Wang Erxiu is illiterate and does not understand the law. Considering that this is her first offense, the village will not hold her responsible!"

Lin Shitou's voice was loud and clear, and every word he said penetrated Chen Honglu's ears, making Chen Honglu feel particularly harsh!

Chen Jiawang stood up and suggested, "Secretary Lin, how about we search every household?
