Chapter 61 Hidden secrets

Seeing that the others did not respond, Village Chief Qin continued, "Qin Huairu disappeared more than a month ago. No one in the nearby villages or townships could find him. No one was alive or dead. When we were preparing to build a cenotaph, someone suggested that we go to the police station to report the case first. We went to the police station to clarify the whole story and investigate Qin Huairu's file."

Licking his lips, he continued, "That comrade checked the files. It only said that the household registration had been moved out, and the reason for the move was marriage. The place of move was only Sijiucheng. We asked around in the city, and on the way we accidentally heard that this family was getting married, and the one they married was from another place. So we came to ask around, and it turned out that the names were the same, but they were not the same person. We didn't know this Qin Huairu."

"We were afraid we had found the wrong person, so we went to the police station and the district government. We couldn't come up with any reason, so we could only say they were cheating on us and ask the government to see if they could handle it."

Director Wang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I understand. We are from the street office, so we can't say that we can handle it for you 100%. We can only say that we will try our best to help you solve it. Jia Zhang, what do you say? How much do you know about this matter?"

Jia Zhang smiled and said, "Director Wang, we really don't know. My Dongxu met Qin Huairu on a blind date three months ago. The matchmaker was also there. They discussed it several times and both parties agreed. Did something go wrong with the matchmaker? I haven't met Huairu's family, but I have seen a few people who came to escort the bride. They are Huairu's brother, sister-in-law and sisters. I don't understand what happened either."

"Just now, a few of them were wandering around the yard, and I felt it was suspicious. I asked them what they were doing, and they said they were Huai Ru's family members, and they wanted to talk to Huai Ru about something. So I invited them in. I wanted to ask why they kept making things difficult for us, but when they saw Huai Ru, they just said it wasn't her, and didn't say what it was. They just wasted time here, and they kept saying that the government would handle it. I was just about to go to the street office to find someone, and then you came."

Director Wang nodded and said, "Qin Huairu, go ahead." Qin Huairu just bit her lip and said nothing. No matter what was said, no matter who said it, she just shook her head and said nothing.

Seeing that Director Wang was getting anxious, Chen Ping quickly tried to smooth things over: "Director, don't worry, I'll have a chat with them for a while, okay?" Director Wang was really about to get angry, but knowing that Chen Ping was afraid of embarrassing her, she nodded in agreement.

Chen Ping looked at Village Chief Qin and said, "Village Chief, are you really Village Chief Qin? Your name is Qin Suogen? You have a lame leg? You really don't know her? Just for a little money? You ran so far? The betrothal gift is not enough? Are you eyeing her sewing machine again? What? Are you determined to get the most out of her?"

After Chen Ping asked these questions, Village Chief Qin's forehead was sweating instantly, and his right thumb kept rubbing his index finger, which was a habitual action due to wearing a ring all year round. His eyes suddenly widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Do you know me?" Then he shook his head, "Impossible, I have never set foot in the city, you can't know me. And we are the victims, and we are here to seek justice. If you don't give me an explanation, I will continue to sue you at the district government."

Chen Ping sneered and said, "You may not have a chance then. The military control committee will be here soon. You may run into them before you even leave the alley. Why don't you give it a try? See if the district government will protect you? Or do you think there's no one in the courtyard right now? If I shout that there's a thief, you probably won't even be able to leave the middle courtyard. Do you dare to try?"

Village Chief Qin also reacted at this time. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Ping and said, "What do you want? I said we are victims, not criminals. What rights do you have to arrest me? I have not violated any laws or prohibitions. Do you think you are a city dweller? Do you think you, a yellow-haired girl, have the final say here? Or are rural people not allowed to enter the city?"

Seeing Chen Ping was silent and only smiling, Village Chief Qin became furious and asked questions like a machine gun: "Why don't you say anything? Are you in the wrong? What? Do you still want to bully us rural people like before? What's wrong with city people? Don't city people eat things from the farmland? Are city people superior to us? Are you a cadre? Do you want to bully people? I'll go to the district government today to make a decision. Who dares to stop me? Tell me, do you dare to stop me? I killed devils, what did you kill? Killed chickens? Haha, you were still breastfeeding when I was killing bandits. Are you trying to scare me?"

Director Wang could no longer suppress her anger, her face turned pale, and her hands were shaking. Lu Zixuan quickly struggled to be held by her, and seeing the look in her eyes of her good grandson begging for a hug, her anger also dissipated by a large margin.

Chen Ping just looked at Village Chief Qin with contempt and said, "Have you finished? Okay, then it's my turn to speak. Who told you that I'm from the city? Do you understand what a victim means? Only those who have grievances are called victims. Do you have any? Is the district government opened by your family? You can say whatever you want? The leaders' reception of you is a courtesy and an attitude towards the masses, not to prove that you are right, do you understand?"

Hearing footsteps outside, Chen Ping continued to ask: "Who said that rural people will not commit crimes? Who gave you the courage to pretend to be the village chief? Who dared to lie to the government? You? Kill the devils? Kill the bandits? Dare you? Didn't you say that the devils are your backers? Aren't the bandits your real grandfather? When I was breastfeeding, you were still the grandson of the bandits, right? Stop you? A scum who rapes, robs, and does all kinds of evil wants to surrender to the government, why should I stop him? Qin Baogen, dare you lie to the government? You are capable, haha"

After that, he walked to Director Wang, took over Lu Zixuan and whispered in Director Wang's ear: "This man is called Qin Baogen, the younger brother of Qin Suogen, the current head of Qinjia Village. This man is not simple. He has led the Japanese and worked as a bandit. He is a well-known bully who has done all kinds of evil in the surrounding villages. The evil he has done is simply too numerous to list. I always thought he was dead, but I didn't expect to see him here. I guess it's not that simple for him to come to Qin Huairu today. I just asked Secretary Li to invite people from the Military Control Commission."

"I suspect he wants to use the power of the government to file a complaint first, take Qin Huairu away, and continue to scam people. He wants to find another husband for Qin Huairu, earn the bride price, or cheat the Jia family of a large sum of money, and then let Qin Huairu go. They should be an organization with a lot of people. Also, she was not called Qin Huairu before, but Qin Erni. She should know something, but not much. You can handle it." Chen Ping said, holding Lu Zixuan and stepped back

Director Wang really looked at Chen Ping with new eyes this time. She was indeed brave and resourceful. When the military control committee was not here, she tried to delay the time as much as possible. When the reinforcements arrived, she immediately changed her face and questioned them. She also knew to call people in advance. She has really grown up. I was very pleased. For the first time, I sincerely praised her and said, "You did a good job. I will give you a credit."

At this time, five people came in, led by the clerk that Chen Ping had sent away. Director Wang directly ordered: "These two people are suspected of multiple frauds and extortions, forging other people's identities, deceiving government leaders, and inciting government forces to use them. Take them away for investigation, along with their two accomplices outside."

"I don't accept it. I am a farmer, I am a weak person, I am a victim. You abuse your power and arrest people at will. I will sue you. My brother asked me to bring people to find him. I want..." Qin Baogen was still shouting while being detained

Soon, the people outside were also detained, and everyone in the house was taken away for questioning...
