After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 274 Captain, I want to call the police

"Improve the food for everyone? Zhou Jindong has lived in the brigade for more than 20 years! Why didn't you improve the food for everyone earlier, and why didn't you improve the food for everyone later? But this time when something happened, you said it was because of improving the food for everyone?!" The brigade leader said sternly.

"And you guys! This is just ridiculous! Jin Dong fell off a cliff, which is something no one wants to see. But just because of Shi Zhiqing's words, a group of you ran to Shen Zhiqing's house to cause trouble! You also want him to pay for Jin Dong's medical treatment. What are you doing? Huh?!"

The captain's words made the Zhou brothers look at each other in bewilderment. Although they were unwilling to accept it, no one dared to speak out easily. After all, in front of the captain, they still had to restrain themselves.

The Zhou brothers fell silent, but Liu Juan still stiffened her neck and shouted, "Captain! That's not how you say it. Shen Zhiqing should have paid!"

Ever since the captain showed up, Shen Nian sat leisurely on the stool that Ye Jiaojiao had brought for her.

When she heard Liu Juan's words, she didn't react at all. Instead, she took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and started eating them.

Seeing Liu Juan still yelling, Zhou Jinxia quickly added on her behalf: "Captain, we...we didn't mean to cause trouble. It's just that Xiaodong is unconscious, and we're worried..."

Liu Juan was furious when she saw Shen Nian's leisurely and carefree appearance. She saw that Shen Nian was sitting, so she wanted to step forward and knock him down.

Unexpectedly, when she was about to get close, Shen Nian suddenly stood up and kicked her.

Shen Nian showed no mercy when he kicked Liu Juan out of the yard. She fell on her back and her arm was in great pain.

"Ah--" Liu Juan's cry of pain pierced the night sky, sharp and piercing.

Shen Nian was too lazy to waste time talking to them. Reasons should be explained to people.

But it was obvious that these children in the Zhou family had their cerebellum replaced by a placenta when they were born, and they couldn't understand what others said to them.

"Captain." Shen Nian's voice suddenly rose with determination, "I'm going to call the police!"

"Shen..." Zhou Jinxia was about to speak when she was interrupted by a voice.

"I'm a police officer. Who wants to call the police?" The voice suddenly sounded from one side of the crowd, with unquestionable majesty.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Qin Yichen walked out from beside Gu Yanqing with a serious face. His police uniform was particularly eye-catching under the light of the flashlight.

When the captain saw it was him, he quickly went over to him and asked, "Comrade Public Security, why are you here?"

Qin Yichen's eyes swept across everyone present, and finally landed on the courtyard of Shen Nian's house, with a hint of barely perceptible curiosity in his eyes.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the captain: "Captain, the two chicken thieves your team caught earlier have been sentenced. I'm here to inform you of the verdict."

When the captain heard that the chicken thief had been sentenced, he immediately asked with concern, "Comrade Public Security, what were the sentences for those two?"

Everyone's flashlights converged on Qin Yichen. His face was solemn as he spoke word by word, "Because those two men were convicted of theft and their theft was unsuccessful, they were both sentenced to labor reform on a farm in the northwest."

The Zhou family was shocked when they heard his words. They hadn't even managed to steal the chicken, yet they were sentenced to such a severe punishment? Sent to a farm in the northwest... Their hearts tightened.

Then they were looking for Shen Zhiqing just now... Just as they thought of this, they heard Shen Nian's voice.

"Comrade from Public Security, it's me who wants to report a case!" Shen Nian walked out of the yard, his voice firm and powerful.

Qin Yichen turned his gaze to Shen Nian, his brows slightly raised, and he cast a meaningful look in the direction of Gu Yanqing.

Coincidentally, Liu Juan and Zhou Jinxia were standing in that direction. When Liu Juan saw the police officer looking at her, she immediately became scared and instinctively wanted to hide.

Zhou Jinxia wasn't much better than Liu Juan. The highest-ranking official he'd ever met was a captain. As long as they didn't commit any crimes, the police were a distant existence to them.

Now, a live police officer stood before him, and there was even a possibility that he would be taken to the police station. Zhou Jinxia's legs went weak at the thought of being taken to a labor camp.

The little tricks of Zhou Jinxia and his wife naturally did not escape Qin Yichen's eyes. He retracted his gaze and fell on Shen Nian again: "Comrade, what case do you want to report?"

Under the moonlight, Shen Nian's face looked exceptionally calm, and her voice was clear and powerful: "Comrade Public Security, I want to report the case. The Zhou family is trying to put me on the receiving end of a murder and is blackmailing me!"

When the Zhou family heard the charges Shen Nian had brought against them, their legs went weak with fear.

Liu Juan forced herself to retort, "Comrade Public Security, we didn't do that! It was Shen Zhiqing! He's the one who caused my brother-in-law to lie unconscious in the hospital!"

When the captain heard this, his face instantly darkened. He looked at Liu Juan's stubborn look and shook his head.

Qin Yichen nodded slightly, then turned to look at the captain: "Captain, do you think we should solve this matter here, or should you all go back to the police station with me to solve it?"

When the Zhou brothers heard this, they were afraid they would be taken to the police station, so they shouted in unison: "Captain, we'll handle this right here! Not at the police station!"

The captain sighed helplessly and looked around at the villagers gathered around him. He knew in his heart that if this matter was not handled clearly here, it would probably bring trouble to Shen Nian in the future.

After a moment's thought, the captain said, "Comrade Public Security, I think we should just settle this here. We're all from the same village. Let's get this out in the open and clear Shen Zhiqing's name. This will also allow everyone to bear witness and prevent future gossip."

Qin Yichen nodded in agreement, then took out a notebook from his messenger bag and pointed out the dark outside: "Comrade, please help me shine the flashlight while I take notes!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, only to see Yan Zhiqing walking out with a dark face.

Gu Yanqing said nothing and walked forward to take the flashlight from Qin Yichen's hand.

Qin Yichen placed the notebook on the stool that Shen Nian had just brought out, turned to look at the Zhou family, and said seriously:

"Start now, one by one, and explain the whole story clearly. Remember, if you lie to the police, you will be arrested and imprisoned!"

After hearing what Qin Yichen said, the Zhou brothers no longer dared to hope for luck, so they had to bite the bullet and tell the whole story.

He even told the story of how Liu Juan instigated several people to find Shen Nian, not daring to miss any detail.
