Chapter 147 Turning the corner into safety
They saw three dazzling light sources gradually approaching from a distance, like three huge lighthouses, shooting straight towards them.

Being directly exposed to the glaring light, people cannot see anything behind the light source, and they cannot see who is coming?
"What should we do? What should we do? We've been caught!"

The two villagers instantly became panicked and subconsciously wanted to run away.

They have elderly parents and young children to take care of, so nothing can happen to them.

"Why are you panicking? I'm still here!" Village Chief Wang shouted sternly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, staring straight at the two men.

The most important thing at this time is to stabilize the situation and not let it get out of control.

"Don't say anything for a while, just wait and see what I say! If you say something you shouldn't, don't blame me for being rude!"

The two men were a little frightened by the look in Village Chief Wang's eyes, but they stopped running away.

They knew that although Village Chief Wang was strict, he was also a responsible person and would probably find a way to help them solve the problem.

Seeing that they had calmed down, Village Chief Wang turned around and looked at Li Kailang.

Li Kailang just looked at him calmly, and the two of them looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

Li Kailang was a little panicked at first, but he also realized that running away was useless.

If he ran away, he might be accused of false charges by Village Chief Wang.

It’s better not to run than to run, and Village Chief Wang didn’t dare to push him out.

At the same time, Li Kailang silently put the money into the ring.

Soon, three policemen ran over from a distance and shouted:

"What are you doing! Crouch! Crouch!"

Hearing this, the four of them did as they were told.

Hearing the police's order, the four men squatted down obediently without hesitation.

Looking at the four people, the five pigs, and the desolate environment they were in, it was obvious that they were trading live pigs.

"Who is Village Chief Wang? Who is Li Kailang?" Hua Honghai asked.

Upon hearing the question, Village Chief Wang and Li Kailang stood up immediately.

"We received a report that you were buying and selling live pigs. Now we have caught you red-handed. You come with us!" Hua Honghai said seriously.

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!" Hua Honghai said thankfully in his heart.

Now we have the witnesses, physical evidence, stolen property and the crime scene. There is nothing much to say.

But for Li Kailang and Village Chief Wang, although this is the fact, if they really go, they will be ruined!

"Comrade police officer, what you said, how could we buy and sell live pigs in a place like this? Have you seen us buying and selling?" Village chief Wang tried to argue.

Li Kailang immediately cooperated:
"Yes, police comrade, buying and selling live pigs also requires money. Can you search me to see if I have any money?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Village Chief Wang's heart skipped a beat!
He had already thought of a reason, so why did Li Kailang suddenly ruin his plan?

When Hua Honghai heard what Li Kailang said, he felt it made sense. He even thought Li Kailang was a little stupid for causing trouble for himself.

"Xiao Luo, go search!"

Village Chief Wang nervously watched Luo Lin search Li Kailang's body, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Hua Honghai looked at the nervous expression of Village Chief Wang and became more certain that this was a major case.

This is a big case! More than 200 yuan! His position will at least be promoted one level.

However, things did not go according to his plan.

Luo Lin searched through Li Kailang's shirt pockets, trouser pockets, and even turned the pockets inside out to check, but still did not find any coins.

He suddenly looked a little flustered!
Hua Honghai looked at Luo Lin's hesitation and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Luo, what's wrong with you? You haven't found it after searching for so long?"

Luo Lin also had beads of sweat on his forehead, "Master, I searched all my pockets, but there is not a single cent!"

Hearing Luo Lin's words, Hua Honghai didn't believe it and said, "I'll do it myself!
He personally went forward to search Li Kailang's body, but found nothing.

When Village Chief Wang saw this scene, he felt relieved and glanced at Li Kailang, wondering how he did it.

"Li Kailang, did you hide the money?" Hua Honghai asked.

"Comrade police officer, you can't slander good people! You said I was hiding and you had to find me." Li Kailang answered innocently.

"When you came running over, I didn't move at all."

Hearing this, the three policemen looked at each other.

Guan Yingxian said, "Master, when we ran over, he really didn't move. His hands were in his trouser pockets and he didn't move at all!"

But Luo Lin still refused to give up: "No, there must be something strange!"

"Xiao Guan, look carefully around here. I don't believe it's not there. He must have thrown it away." Hua Honghai stared at Li Kailang and said firmly.

He just didn't believe that Li Kailang didn't leave any clues.
Village chief Wang felt that this was an opportunity to turn the tide and was about to step forward.

In the distance, another person ran over in a hurry and asked breathlessly:

"Comrade police, have you caught the man? Have you caught him red-handed?"

Village Chief Wang and Li Kailang turned their heads, their eyes instantly becoming fierce.

"Who are you? Why are you telling us these fabricated things?" asked Village Chief Wang.

Village chief Wang had only met Wang Changjun once, and after so long, he had long forgotten about him.

Wang Changjun was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Village Chief Wang didn't remember him.

He was a little annoyed, but soon calmed down. Since they couldn't escape anyway, he didn't mind waiting a little longer.

Li Kailang never expected that it was Wang Changjun. He hadn't seen Wang Changjun for more than a month since he had taken revenge on him last time, not even at the steel mill.

"Comrade police, how is it? Did we catch the person red-handed?" Wang Changjun asked again.

Hua Honghai was a little embarrassed. Although they saw the "crime scene", they had no actual evidence.

The money, which was most likely to serve as evidence, was not found on Li Kailang, nor even in his surroundings.

Taking advantage of their embarrassment, Village Chief Wang quickly said:

"Comrade police, we didn't do any business, you can't wrongly accuse us!"

"If there is no buying and selling transaction, then what are you doing? There are five pigs here in the middle of the night, in this remote place. If it's not buying and selling, what else could it be?" Luo Lin asked.

He stared at Village Chief Wang with wide eyes, his face full of sharpness.

But Village Chief Wang is not someone who can be frightened, so this little trick can't faze him.

"We are trapping the beasts in the mountains!"

"Trapping wild animals?" The three of them were stunned, looking incredulous.

How could they possibly believe such a lame excuse?

"Yes, now wild animals have begun to appear in the mountains. For the safety of the villagers, I plan to use pigs to see if I can lure them out."

"Why do you need to bring so many pigs to trap wild animals? Do you know how valuable these pigs are? And what does this have to do with him?"

Luo Lin pointed at Li Kailang and said.

"Yes, Li Kailang is a driver and has no relationship with your village. How can he help you?" Wang Changjun echoed.

"Oh, you are exaggerating. Although I have no relationship with Wangjia Village, Village Chief Wang and I hit it off from the moment we met. We feel like we met too late." Li Kailang explained hurriedly.

"Besides, although I'm a driver, I also know a little bit about hunting. I came here to hunt last time."

"It's just that I missed last time and I didn't hit anyone. This time, Village Chief Wang asked me for help, so I came here without saying a word."

After listening to Li Kailang's explanation, the three of them felt that it was a bit far-fetched, but they could still make sense of it.

Of course, they won't completely believe it, and further investigation is needed.

"Okay, let's just assume that what you said makes sense for now, but don't you know it's dangerous for you to trap wild animals here in the middle of the night? Why don't you trap them during the day?" Hua Honghai asked.

Village Chief Wang explained: "Comrade police, it's the busy farming season now, how can we have time during the day? As the village chief, I have to find out for the villagers even if it's dangerous."

"Besides, we are outside and not going in, so it's not that dangerous."

"Okay, let's assume that what you said makes sense. Then why do you bring so many pigs? Aren't you afraid of being caught by wild beasts?" Hua Honghai asked again.

"Comrade police, we have to be caught by the wild beast. If we are caught, we can follow the blood trail to find the wild beast. If the wild beast does not catch us, we can say that it is still safe here."

After hearing what Village Chief Wang said, the three of them were immediately choked up. Hua Honghai asked again:

"You haven't explained clearly why you brought so many pigs. Don't you know how valuable these pigs are?"

"Comrade police officer, you don't know! There are more than 20 of them in our village. They have eaten all the food in the village. We can't afford to feed them."

"We can use this trap to trap the pigs. If they are caught dead, we can slaughter them. If they are not caught dead, we can keep them." "Can't you sell the extra pigs to the purchasing station? Why are you wasting them like this?" Hua Honghai questioned.

"Comrade police officer, those purchasing stations have already collected all the pigs. They won't take the remaining pigs. I have no choice. I can't risk the lives of the villagers."

Village Chief Wang spoke with a choked voice, tears streaming down his face and sobbing slightly.

When the three of them heard it, they thought it made sense.

After all, compared with the safety of people's lives, the lives of a few pigs are indeed insignificant.

Besides, the purchasing stations have already collected all the pigs, and the remaining pigs cannot be sold.

But what was even more unbelievable was that there was a shortage of meat in the city, but I didn’t expect that there were still so many pigs in the village to trap wild animals.

You don’t know until you compare. You’ll be shocked when you do!
Wang Changjun was also shocked. He had begged everyone and tried every means to find a way, but he couldn't even purchase a pig. Yet people here were wasting pigs like this.

In fact, Village Chief Wang also did some secret operations here and reported 60 pigs to meet the pig breeding target.

Taking into consideration the hard work of Wangjia Village, the purchasing station left 10 heads for them, but unexpectedly there were still more than 10 heads in the village.

"I don't believe it. Don't try to lie! It's late at night. You have bad intentions. You must be doing business here!" Wang Changjun shouted.

"Wang Changjun, you can doubt us, but you have to provide evidence. If you don't have evidence, I can sue you for defamation. You are destroying our reputation." Li Kailang questioned.

Hearing this, everyone immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. Ruining one's reputation is a very serious matter.

Nowadays, everyone cares about reputation. People with a bad reputation are not welcomed wherever they go. Reputation is even an important basis for judging people.

Although there aren't many people here, there's no guarantee that someone will tell anyone.

Just like Sha Zhu, he has never been able to find a wife. In addition to Qin Huairu's causing trouble, it also has a lot to do with his bad reputation.

A man who has not yet married is actually having an affair with a widow. Which girl would dare to go on a blind date with him?
"I didn't, I really didn't!" Wang Changjun quickly denied it.

"Since you don't have it, why do you say we are doing a buying and selling transaction?" Li Kailang asked back.

"Are you making up this excuse on purpose because you want to take revenge on me?"

Immediately, Hua Honghai and the other two looked at Wang Changjun.

If it was Wang Changjun's act of revenge, then it would be a false alarm, which is also very serious.

Then all the previous behaviors can be explained clearly, and this is a groundless thing.

"Comrade Wang Changjun, please explain." Hua Honghai said seriously.

They worked themselves to death and ran 30 kilometers away just because of Wang Changjun's personal revenge.

"Explain, what to explain? They are just buying and selling pigs. Last time, Li Kailang bought pigs here from Village Chief Wang."

Wang Changjun wanted to drag them into the water.

Hearing this, the eyes of Hua Honghai and the other two immediately became sharp, and they looked at Li Kailang and Village Chief Wang. If this was true, then it would be another big case!
"Comrade police officer, we did buy live pigs from Village Chief Wang last time, but they were purchased by the steel mill." Li Kailang quickly explained.

At the same time, he pointed at Wang Changjun and said: "He, Wang Changjun, is a purchaser of the steel rolling mill. The factory has a purchase certificate."

Hearing this, the three policemen's interest immediately faded. If it was really the goods purchased by the steel mill, they really couldn't intervene.

"But you paid in advance, a lot!" said Wang Changjun.

“How much did you give?”

The eyes of Hua Honghai and the other two lit up again. If the amount offered was large, it would be considered a private transaction and could not be applied to procurement.

"I gave it to him." Wang Changjun was about to say it, but suddenly realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, and quickly covered his mouth.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the three policemen dimmed again.

"Tell me, how much did you give?" Hua Honghai asked coldly.

"I gave you 60 yuan!" Wang Changjun replied.

60 yuan is indeed in line with the purchase price of the steel rolling mill and is not too high. The police were a little disappointed and almost found a breakthrough.

If Wang Changjun dared to say he would give 100 yuan, things would become complicated.

Not only will he be implicated, but the steel mill will also be implicated, and the work of the purchasing section chief will also be affected.

In comparison, this is just an act of retaliation, and the person will only be detained for a few days and can keep his job.

Hearing this number, Village Chief Wang and Li Kailang also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wang Changjun, because of your personal act of revenge, you almost made our police officers mistake you for a good person. Now I am arresting you for making a false report."

Hua Honghai looked at Wang Changjun seriously, "Do you have any objection to this?"

At this point, Wang Changjun could not say anything more. He looked at Li Kailang and Village Chief Wang with resentment and could only admit defeat.

Li Kailang and Village Chief Wang cooperated to cause this misunderstanding, which made Wang Changjun's plan fail.

"Okay, now that the matter has been investigated clearly, we almost wrongly accused you just now. I am deeply sorry for this." Policeman Hua Honghai apologized sincerely.

"It's okay! It's okay. As long as we can find out the truth, it doesn't matter if we suffer a little injustice. The most important thing is to catch the criminal!" Li Kailang said generously.

"Thank you very much for your understanding. It's getting late and we have to hurry and take the criminal back. I won't say any more to you," said Hua Honghai.

"By the way, your village has so many live pigs, don't waste them. If you want, our police station can also purchase some."

Policemen are also human beings, they also need to eat meat. Buying it privately is not allowed, but purchasing it is allowed.

"Okay, okay! If you come to purchase, I will definitely welcome you!" Village Chief Wang quickly agreed. Having one more sales channel would be a good thing.

So the three policemen didn't say anything and took Wang Changjun away directly.

After they all left, the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Village Chief Wang and Li Kailang, you are really awesome! You solved it just like that!" one of the villagers said admiringly.

"Nonsense! Don't you see who I am? If I weren't capable, how could I become the village chief!" said Village Chief Wang arrogantly.

Turning to look at Li Kailang,
"Master Li, they've all left, how about we continue?"

"Continue? Continue what?" Li Kailang replied unhappily.

"Of course we continue the transaction! You don't want to default on your debt?" Village Chief Wang asked angrily.

Li Kailang sneered and replied: "Do you still want to continue the transaction? Didn't you hear the police just say that they also want to purchase?"

"If we trade now, what if they come tomorrow and find that five heads are missing?"

"Besides, the matter has already been exposed. We have to wait until this storm has passed before we can continue."

"Yes, yes, I was confused!" Village Chief Wang blamed himself, "When is the next time?"

"Wait a minute. How do I know when the limelight will pass? Okay, you finish up the things. I'll go back first." Li Kailang said, turned around and left.

Suddenly, Li Kailang remembered something, approached Village Chief Wang again, and whispered:

"You two villagers should also finish the job well. Give them what they deserve and don't let them do anything bad!"

"Don't worry, I know what to do about this matter." Village Chief Wang replied.

Li Kailang nodded and left.

Village chief Wang took out two 2-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to them.

"Take the 5 dollars we agreed on. You know what to do about today's incident. Don't blame me if you get caught!"

The villagers from the two villages nodded repeatedly like chicks pecking at rice.

"Okay, drive the pigs back." Village Chief Wang ordered.

On the way back, Li Kailang was thinking about this.

In fact, this incident was caused by Li Kailang.

If he had not damaged Wang Changjun's face on the new route in order to retaliate against Wang Changjun, Wang Changjun would not have retaliated against Li Kailang.

But then again, if Wang Changjun hadn't spoken rudely to Li Kailang at the steel mill.

He also exaggerated on the new route, causing his own position and trust to be destroyed, and this would not happen.

If anyone should be blamed, blame Li Kailang. He shouldn't have brought Wang Changjun with him when he went out to purchase, and this wouldn't have happened.

On the way back by bike, Li Kailang still couldn't let go.

"I can't just let this go. It ruined my plans and almost put me in jail. I'd be a fool if I don't take revenge!"

"It seems that the planting space has to be used. Maybe it is not impossible to destroy the body and cover up the traces. You can only blame yourself!" Li Kailang muttered to himself.

It is a good opportunity to take advantage of the time when Wang Changjun is detained to think of a solution.

"It would be best if we could solve this matter with an accident. Otherwise, when they investigate, I will be the first suspect and I will definitely not be able to escape."
