Chapter 8 Villagers Provide Clues to Chicken Stealing Case

As soon as Chen Jiawang said this, it caused a commotion!

When people are hungry, they will try every possible way to stockpile food.

So after work every day, everyone would secretly dig up some wild vegetables, dry them into dried vegetables and save them for eating. Or they would trap rabbits, pheasants, catch fish...

The village cadres are well aware of this behavior, but they turn a blind eye to it. They think it’s all because of poverty. They can’t force people to death, right?

I know it, but this matter cannot be made public!

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Jiawang finished speaking, Li Baozhen stood up and said, "That's a good idea! I think we should start the search from your house, Jiawang!"

Everyone in the village knows about Chen Jiawang's family situation! It can be said that their family's conditions are among the best in the village!

If we find something that shouldn’t be there in Chen Jiawang’s house, it will be a lot of fun!

Chen Shuning stood up, her expression firm and confident. She said:

"Since no one is willing to provide any clues, let's start the search from my house! There's no point in wasting time like this!"

None of Chen Shuning's family members are stupid! Those who are cunning are like sieves!

The things they secretly stockpiled were not hidden at home at all! The food coupons and money were also hidden in their clothes. What were they afraid of?

Guo Junshan frowned at Chen Shuning, thinking: Is this person stupid? She gave sweet potatoes to Grandpa, which means her family also hid food. How could she not be afraid at all!

Chen Shuning looked up and saw Guo Junshan's complicated look. She was not afraid, she opened her eyes wide and glared back at him!

Chen Shuning silently complained: "This policeman is really weird! Why is he staring at me for no reason? It's so annoying!"

As expected, this proposal was rejected by the village chief Chen Honglu: "It's just a small case of stealing chickens, and you have to search the whole village. How can this be justified!"

Chen Honglu felt guilty because his family had secretly hidden some dried vegetables and other things. If these were discovered, how could he continue to be the village chief?

Lin Shitou knocked on the table and said sternly, "Quiet! Everyone, listen to me. Although Jiawang's move is reckless, if we still don't have any clues, we can only do what he says!

No matter what you saw or heard, as long as you have evidence or witnesses, you can tell the truth. It doesn’t matter if you are wrong!

If you know about it but don't report it, you're shielding a criminal! You can judge for yourself how serious the consequences will be! "

The villagers quickly made their choice. Should they protect others and risk exposing themselves? Or should they protect themselves?

Zhao Fengping's son, Chen Gu, stood up, lowered his head, rubbed the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and said vaguely: "I... I..."

Guo Junshan raised his head and said calmly, "Young comrade, if you've discovered anything, just tell us! Don't worry, no one will do anything to you. We police officers will protect you!"

Although Guo Junshan's tone was cold, Chen Gu didn't feel so scared when he heard it!

Chen Gu mustered up his courage and pointed at Chen Shan behind him and said, "Yesterday morning, I saw Brother Chen Shan coming out of the chicken coop. His arms were bulging, and I don't know what he was holding. He walked out of the village..."

Zhao Fengping turned around and looked at Chen Shan in surprise, then turned back to stare at her son and said softly, "Guzi, you can't talk nonsense!"

Chen Gu scratched his head and explained, "Uncle police, I didn't see Brother Chen Shan holding the chicken, I just saw that his arms were bulging..."

Sun Yuanchao walked over, touched Chen Gu's head, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, little friend. Thank you for providing the clue!"

Then Sun Yuanchao turned to Chen Shan and asked sternly, "Comrade Chen Shan, may I ask why you appeared near the chicken coop yesterday morning? What were you carrying in your arms? Where did you go?"

Chen Shan was panicked when he heard the villagers talking. He stammered, "I! I... I didn't steal the chicken... I..."

Seeing his son implicated, Chen Hongjiang was sweating profusely. He pushed through the crowd, walked over, and shouted, "What were you doing yesterday morning? Tell me! Why are you hesitating?"

Chen Shan lowered his head and said timidly: "I didn't do anything! I just gave something to my classmate...

"Comrade police officer, I am innocent! I absolutely did not steal chickens! I am not that kind of person!"

Sun Yuanchao asked gravely, "Who are you delivering this to? What's your last name? Where do you live? What are you delivering?"

A barrage of questions bombarded Chen Shan, making him sweat profusely. He hesitated and said, "It was... Li Tieniu from Lijia Village who asked me to deliver something to... Zhao Shuanzhu from Xihe Village...

It was a cloth bag, and I don’t know what was in it… I really didn’t steal the chicken…”

Guo Junshan glanced at Chen Shan with suspicion, then calmed down, lowered his head, and wrote down everything Chen Shan said word for word!

Wang Erxiu said fearfully, "Police comrades, you must investigate thoroughly. My son would never do anything sneaky! If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone!"

Chen Hongjiang said repeatedly: "Yes! My son is honest and definitely not that kind of person!"

Sun Yuanchao considered his words and said calmly, "We will investigate and verify Chen Shan's case! We can't rule him out as a suspect yet."

Village Chief Chen, Secretary Lin, please keep an eye on Chen Shan during this period and don't let him leave Chenjia Village."

Guo Junshan's cold voice rang out: "Anyone else, do you have anything to say? If anyone hears the crowing of chickens, or the smell of meat, or someone who has inexplicably disappeared for a while, please tell us!"

A white-haired old lady stood up, her voice a little hoarse: "Comrade police, the night before yesterday I heard a chicken crowing outside the yard... Is this a clue?

I am blind, I only heard the screams, I don’t know anything else…”

Sun Yuanchao smiled and said, "This is also a clue! Thank you for your cooperation! Please sit down first!"

Chen Erlai stood up unsteadily and shouted at Granny Li, "Hey! Blind old woman, what nonsense are you talking about? You are so old, are your ears still working well?"

Are you saying this to gain merit? Police officer, what she said cannot be trusted..."

Guo Junshan raised his head, his eyes fixed on Chen Erlai like sharp swords, and asked in a deep voice, "Comrade, what is your name? Where do you live? Are you next door to this old lady?"

Chen Erlai was stared at by Guo Junshan, and he felt uneasy! He said with a playful smile: "Ah! My name is Chen Erlai, and I live next door to her house..."

That’s why I said the blind old woman was talking nonsense. We were just separated by a wall, and the night before last, I didn’t hear any roosters crowing!

Guo Junshan retracted his gaze and said casually, "Chen Erlai, please sit down first! Is there anyone else who would like to provide any clues?"

The villagers looked at Chen Shan, then at the blind old lady and Chen Erlai, not knowing who was telling the truth, and even less knowing who was the real chicken thief!

Soon the room became chaotic, with villagers whispering to each other and exchanging their opinions and views. For a long time, no one responded to Guo Junshan's words!

Sun Yuanchao sat down next to Guo Junshan, who tilted his head and whispered, "It's almost done, we can go now!"

Sun Yuanchao raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Are you sure?"

Guo Junshan nodded slightly, then stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet!

That's all for today. Officer Sun and I will continue our investigation. If anyone remembers anything, please feel free to come find us!

Sun Yuanchao stood up and walked over to Secretary Lin, saying with a smile, "Secretary Lin, we've asked enough questions! Let the villagers go, so as not to delay everyone from getting to work!"

Guo Junshan sorted out the transcript and put it into his briefcase. He walked over slowly and said calmly:

"Secretary Lin, we need to find someone familiar with the village to lead the way. What do you think?"

Secretary Lin glanced into the crowd and saw Chen Shuning. Thinking of what his wife had said to him yesterday, a smile appeared on his face.

Secretary Lin called out, "Shuning! Come here!"

When Chen Shuning came to the front, Secretary Lin introduced her enthusiastically, "This is Chen Shuning! She's familiar with the village. Let her take you there!"

This child has been educated and is smart, maybe he can help!"

Guo Junshan's eyes flashed, and he said calmly, "Secretary Lin recommended her, so there must be no problem! Let's go with her!"

Sun Yuanchao originally wanted to refuse. He couldn't bear to let a little girl run around with them in such a cold day!

But Guo Junshan had already agreed. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to listen to Guo Junshan!

From Guo Junshan's attire, it was clear that this new colleague was someone of some importance. Sun Yuanchao felt that it was not worth offending Guo Junshan over such a trivial matter.

Chen Shuning was quite happy. It had snowed recently, so there was no work in the fields. The production team had organized villagers to pick dried chilies in the warehouse! It was so choking! She didn't want to do it!

Chen Shuning said openly, "Okay! Secretary Lin, leave this matter to me! I guarantee that I'll complete the task!"
