Chapter 489 Taking Yushu Away

The murder case yielded no results, but the theft case did have some clues, which the two of them did not expect.

"No wonder you sneaked into the ancestral hall so early and late at night."

The two realized this and waited for the situation to develop.

Chen Yi's plan is obvious. He wants to open a gap through Fu Qin and find out the source of the bracelet.

This move is the safest. It turns the conflict between the police and the village chief into a conflict between Fuqin and the village chief, and then adds fuel to the fire in the middle to reduce the probability of a dilemma.

In this way, the village chief has no chance to call on the villagers to resist the police investigation.

Another way is to ask for help and let Liang Qidong lead people to surround Yuluo Village and use absolute force to suppress the village chief to tell the truth, but it takes too long and is very unfriendly to the villagers.

Now, it's just an internal problem in the village. They can just follow Fuqin to find out the truth. If there are really illegal and criminal acts, they should be tortured away.

So far, Chen Yi has not called Liang Qidong, and everything is still under control.

"Fuqin! Are you going to start a fight in the village?!"

The village chief was shocked by Fuqin's words. He could not respond and could only put a big hat on him first.

Fuqin was fully prepared and calm: "Zhongda, this is not a village fight. I am responsible for what I say. You can find out if it is true or false. If I make a mistake, I am willing to accept any punishment, even if I follow the family law." No complaints at all.”

After speaking, he glanced at the gathering of more and more villagers, and continued: "We can't hold sacrifices every year in the village and enshrine the bracelets of outsiders, right? Isn't this just crying at the wrong grave? Can the tribesmen accept it?"

This sentence was very effective, and all the villagers frowned awkwardly.

Speaking of this, it is definitely impossible not to go and take a look. Even ordinary villagers would seek confirmation if this incident was revealed, let alone the old Fuqin of the ancestral hall clan.

Everyone still believed what he said, and the other party had no reason to talk nonsense.

The village chief is now riding a tiger with difficulty.

The Ancestor Bracelet was of great importance, Fuqin's request was reasonable, and he willingly accepted the punishment. His status in the village was second only to his own, so he couldn't find any reason to stop it.

For a moment, the village chief's lips moved up and down, but not even a single word came out.

"It seems Zhongda has agreed. Let's go and call all the other clan elders!" Fuqin waved.

The young police officer said in the morning that the village chief should not be given time to react. The sooner the better, the better. After learning about this incident, the village chief's mind must have been confused and there will be no effective response method in a short period of time.

What I want is to be quick and let everyone know that the bracelet in the ancestral hall is wrong in the shortest possible time.

The villagers hesitated for a while, but finally chose to follow Fu Qin's footsteps. The expression of the village chief who was standing on the spot changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth and followed.

"Aren't you going?"

Chen Yi glanced at Yushu. At this time, he had to prevent Yushu from running into the mountains and hiding, and he could not leave his sight.

"Ah?" Yushu seemed to have just come back to his senses, and started chasing after him, "Go, go... I must go."

Chen Yi and the other three followed closely behind.

Ancestral hall.

The clan elders who received the news came and divided into two camps. The two sides faced each other with different expressions.

The people on Fuqin's side looked serious and cold, while the people on the village chief's side were surprised and uncertain.

"Everyone, check it out."

Entering the main hall, Fuqin got out of the way.

Although all the clan elders support different people, their attitude towards the ancestral hall is the same. The ancestor bracelet cannot be desecrated, so we must understand it clearly.

While everyone was checking, Fuqin came to the village chief. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Only he knew how he felt.

Soon, the clan elders became commotion, and you could vaguely hear words such as "the bracelet is wrong" and "this is not the ancestor's bracelet".

In short, the facts are confirmed, the bracelet is gone.

Seeing this, everyone present turned their attention to the village chief. The villagers who were nearby even took a few steps back, with doubts on their faces.

"Zhongda, please explain." Fuqin said.

The village chief was silent for a long time and said: "You are the elder of the ancestral clan. Shouldn't I contact you if there is something wrong with the bracelet?"

It has been verified that the bracelet is wrong. This matter can no longer be fooled and can only be turned around in other ways.

No matter what problems arise in the ancestral hall, Fuqin is the first person responsible.

Everyone looked at Fuqin again, this sentence made sense.

Fuqin smiled: "I have said before that you forcibly closed the ancestral hall last year and the year before without giving a reason. Isn't it because of the bracelet?"

"Also, why do you want Yushu to go out for shopping? In previous years, it was a punishment for those who made mistakes. What mistake did he make?"

The village chief said: "Closing the ancestral hall has nothing to do with the bracelet. Yushu did not make any mistakes. As the village chief, of course I will let my descendants do things that no one is willing to do. Isn't this right?"

Expressing selfless dedication and considering other villagers, the village chief's rank is slightly higher than Fuqin's.

Being able to become the village chief is naturally something special.

These words were very effective. Everyone looked at the village chief with less suspicion and more gratitude.

Fuqin didn't expect the other party to come out like this. After being stunned for a moment, he continued to close the ancestral hall and asked him to give a reasonable explanation.

"Why did everyone elect me to be the village chief? Because they believe that I will not harm my own people. Last year and the year before last were not suitable for sacrifices. The reason cannot be explained clearly. If I say it will violate taboos, it will be bad for the village. Fuqin, if you ask more carefully, is it because Don’t all the people in the village take it seriously?”

While explaining, the village chief launched an attack on Fuqin.

The remote mountain village believes in ghosts and gods, and believes in the unspeakable. The words of the village chief made the villagers and even some elders change their faces slightly, and their eyes focused on Fuqin in hesitation.

Fuqin became the one who was in a dilemma.

The matter of closing the ancestral hall is very critical. If you don't ask, you can't know the truth. If you ask, the village chief will bring out the taboo, which is very useful for all the villagers.

The villagers are in awe of the ancestral hall. It is precisely because of the awe that they are very concerned about the ancestral bracelet. This is the basis for Fuqin to attack the village chief.

However, Xiao He is the success or failure. Although the words of the village chief are illusory, there is no evidence pointing to the village chief for the bracelet swap. Coupled with the concerns about the so-called taboo, the balance of victory began to change at this moment.

Chen Yi watched this scene and admired the village chief in his heart. He was able to sit in this position. Apart from other things, his ability to deceive was still very strong.

It's a pity that if there is a third party who understands the situation, he can turn the situation around in a few words.

He is that third party.

When Fuqin looked over, Chen Yi walked out of the crowd and clearly told them that a rich man in Yunzhou Province had lost a bracelet, and from the size, shape, color, and water quality, it was exactly the same as the one in the ancestral hall.

Yushu panicked.

"Reintroduce myself, I am the leader of the special task force responsible for this case. I can show you the photos. You can judge for yourself whether it is the same one."

Chen Yi said, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Fuqin.

Fuqin only knew about the stolen bracelet case at this time, and reacted quickly. He took the mobile phone and passed it among the elders. They had good eyesight, and it was probably the same bracelet.

"Aren't you here to investigate the murder case?" The village chief gathered his five fingers and asked coldly.

Chen Yi turned his head: "Investigate the two cases together, I just didn't expect the bracelet to be in your Yuluo Village."

The village chief glanced at the elders and said: "If it is the same one, I don't know what happened. I can help you police..."

"No need." Chen Yi interrupted the village chief and raised his hand to Yushu, "I suspect he did it."

Swish!

Everyone present looked at Yushu, who was frightened and approached the village chief.

The village chief said angrily: "Why do you say that? How could he go to the provincial capital? How far is that? Besides, are the things of rich people so easy to steal?"

Everyone agreed with this statement. How could Yushu have such ability?

Chen Yi chuckled: "I only ask one question. Everyone think about it carefully. Has Yushu been out for a period of time in the past two years?"

At this moment, we can't talk about subjective inferences or doubts about Yushu. We have to talk about facts.

Suspicions supported by facts are more credible.

"Out?"

Everyone, including Fuqin, thought about it, and soon someone said that Yushu did go out the year before last and didn't come back for a long time.

They are all waiting to get the goods, and they are waiting anxiously.

Go to ask the village chief, the village chief said that he might have been delayed by something. It's not that simple to go out to buy goods, so be patient.

"He went out last year and this year. The longest time was ten days, right?" Another villager said.

Yushu's face turned a little pale.

Chen Yi immediately asked Yushu: "Two days of shopping is enough. Why did you disappear so frequently for so long? "

"I..." The question was too sudden. Yushu blurted out without thinking: "I went out to play. There are many fun places outside. I met a few friends."

Chen Yi: "Where have you been and who have you met? Tell me, I will find someone to verify it immediately. Don't worry, I will never wrongly accuse you."

Yushu was speechless.

This kind of questioning method that gets to the bottom of things caught him off guard.

Chen Yi: "You don't even know your friend's name? You forgot where you went?"

Yushu remained silent.

The village chief was about to speak up to help, but Chen Yi directly killed the result of the day: "The police are investigating the case and can forcibly summon people suspected of committing crimes. Everyone has seen that the bracelet is not your Yuluo Village, and Yushu cannot provide his whereabouts. I need to take him away, including the bracelet."

After speaking, he looked at Fuqin.

Fuqin said immediately: "Okay, we have to abide by the laws of the country even though we live in the deep mountains and old forests. I hope the police can find out where the bracelet in the ancestral hall has gone."

"No!" The village chief was ready to confront Chen Yi.

Chen Yi defeated him with his strength: "Village chief, think it through. If you dare to bring people to forcibly stop it, I will call people immediately. At that time, your village will be very lively, and the result will not change. Aren't you considering the tribe members? As a village chief, you must be rational."

In such a village, Chen Yi didn't want to take action, let alone use a gun.

The village chief's face was uncertain. He had the final say in the village, but he was nothing outside.

The leader of the special task force, it sounds very intimidating, maybe he can really transfer many people into the mountains.

Fuqin added fuel to the fire: "The ancestor's bracelet is gone. The best way is to hand it over to the police. I am responsible as the elder of the ancestral hall, and Zhongda is also responsible as the village chief. Whoever blocks the investigation has a problem."

"I'm sure everyone wants to know where the ancestor's bracelet is and who lost it, right?"

Everyone nodded. Putting aside the conflict between Fuqin and the village chief, finding the whereabouts of the bracelet is the most important thing at the moment. There is no reason to stop the police investigation.

At this moment, even the elders who supported the village chief expressed their agreement. They supported the village chief of Yuluo Village rather than Zhongda personally. The ancestral hall cannot be taken lightly, and what happened must be figured out.

The scene was one-sided. The village chief knew that it was useless to say anything, so he could only agree that Chen Yi would take Yushu and the bracelet away.

When He Xin and Qin Fei came over, Yu Shu was very resistant but didn't dare to move his body, and stood there timidly.

Chen Yi looked at the village chief, then at Fuqin, and finally decided to communicate with Fuqin about the investigation, such as notifying the village as soon as the matter was settled, and sending people if necessary, etc.

Finally, he asked who was the young man in the village who had the best relationship with Yu Shu, and wanted to chat with him. Although other people's evaluations were subjective, they were often more real.

"He doesn't have many good friends because of his personality." Fuqin replied, "There was one before, but he has left the village. His name is Shilin."

"Shilin?"

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows. He heard the village chief talk about this person yesterday. He passed away with his sick sister a few years ago.

"How do you evaluate Shilin?" he asked.

Fuqin said: "Shilin also had a share in stealing tributes in the ancestral hall. Like Yushu, he is a very troublesome child."

Chen Yi nodded. Fish seek fish and shrimp seek shrimp. People with similar personalities and like-minded tastes are more likely to get together and become good friends.

It seems that I really need to find this person after I go out. Before that, I will listen to what Yushu has to say.

He prepared to leave immediately without delay, gave up the horse and walked instead. Even if he traveled overnight, he would not give Yushu any chance to make small moves.

"Helping outsiders to catch tribesmen, Fuqin, you are really good, don't you explain?"

The village chief is very good at putting accusations. After Chen Yi and others left, he launched a verbal attack on Fuqin again.

Fuqin didn't want to argue with him at this time, and snorted coldly: "How could the police come to the village for no reason? How could the ancestor's bracelet disappear for no reason? Yushu didn't even dare to answer his whereabouts. It's obvious that there is a problem. When the matter is investigated, it is you, Zhongda, who should explain."

After speaking, without waiting for the village chief to respond, he turned around and left with his people.

The villagers were silent and gradually dispersed. They couldn't see through and didn't understand. Fuqin was right. When they found out, they would understand everything.

"Handcuff him."

When they were far away from the village, Chen Yi ordered Yushu to be handcuffed. This kid was familiar with the mountain road and had to be guarded against.

Yushu said nothing and let Qin Fei put the silver bracelet on him.

"We will definitely not be able to leave the mountain before dark. There is still a lot of time. If you want to talk, we can save a lot of time." Chen Yi said.

Yushu was still silent

Chen Yi did not force it: "Then we will talk about it in the interrogation room, but I want to remind you, don't think that everything will be fine if you don't talk. You know how much your village chief knows. I didn't take him away today, but it doesn't mean I won't take him away next time. Do you understand?"

From the clues currently available, if Yushu is involved in the case, then the village chief must be an insider. Normally, he should be taken away together and interrogated separately, but his old bones are afraid that it will be difficult for him to leave this mountain range, so there is no rush for the time being.

This made Yushu react, and his head drooped even lower.
