Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 402 - 403: Third Uncle Zhou and Several Others Were Captured
Chapter 402: Chapter 403: Third Uncle Zhou and Several Others Were Captured
"What should we do about Third Uncle?" Zhou Zheyuan asked anxiously.
If they dared to strike back, even if there was no issue before, there would be one now—it would instantly become assaulting an officer.
But being arrested like this was driving him crazy with anger.
"What are you doing, what have we done wrong, why are you arresting us?" Zhou Zheyuan exclaimed with a furious face.
Third Uncle Zhou’s face turned grim; he had lived a righteous life and had never been detained like this before.
"The police need a reason to arrest people; it’s utterly childish to just take us away without any cause," he said, his eyes sharply fixed on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man sneered, "Liu Village has always been considered an advanced village under our jurisdiction, yet you falsely accuse someone there of child trafficking. That’s a crime.
I suspect you have a personal vendetta against them, and you’re deliberately slandering the people of Liu Village. This definitely needs to be thoroughly investigated."
Several officers stepped forward, took out handcuffs, and escorted Third Uncle Zhou and the others away.
Third Uncle Zhou almost laughed from frustration when he was locked in the small room.
"Third Uncle, what do we do now?" At this moment, Zhou Zheyuan felt real panic; these people were audaciously arresting them without distinguishing right from wrong.
They couldn’t even contact their family members. Would they just be kept here indefinitely?
Third Uncle Zhou gave him a look, "What is there to fear, he wouldn’t dare keep us locked up forever.
Plus, my friend will be here soon."
After saying that, Third Uncle Zhou casually lay down on the bed beside him.
Such a comfortable, untroubled day was rare and amazingly quiet, allowing one’s mood to relax a bit.
"Huo Chen, do you think marriage is good?" Third Uncle Zhou suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
At his words, Zhou Zheyuan perked up his ears.
Huo Chen hadn’t expected him to suddenly bring up this topic. The image of Xu Ying’s smiling face instantly came to his mind, and he quickly nodded with a curved smile, "Marriage is definitely good.
You are no longer alone, having someone you want to protect, as well as someone you can rely on."
She would stand in front of him, helping him retort against those who scorned him, clarifying his name.
When he had no family to accompany him, she would always be by his side, cheering him up when he felt down, helping him devise strategies.
Thinking about Xu Ying, Huo Chen couldn’t contain his smile.
Third Uncle Zhou looked at him with evident envy; being young was indeed wonderful.
When he had first gotten married, he felt just as Huo Chen did, but it didn’t take long before his wife seemed to completely change.
Gone was her previous tenderness and generosity, replaced by a greedy, stingy demeanor. However, she was never stingy with her own family.
Third Uncle Zhou chuckled self-deprecatingly, soon touching his stomach and shouting towards the door, "I’m hungry, when will you give us food?
We haven’t done anything wrong, yet here we are locked up without anything to eat. You police are really unreasonable.
Just because you have some power doesn’t mean you can treat ordinary citizens like this."
Hearing Third Uncle Zhou’s voice, the man from earlier frowned, visibly annoyed, and called out to his subordinates, "Go interrogate these people properly.
If they behave, let them go; if not, find some charge to keep them detained."
The man below instantly understood what was meant and nodded, walking toward Third Uncle Zhou and his group, leading them directly to the interrogation room.
After arriving, the man looked at Third Uncle Zhou with a serious face and asked, "Speak quickly, what grudge do you have against Liu Dashan’s mother?
Why are you falsely accusing Liu Dashan’s mother of being involved in child trafficking?"
Third Uncle Zhou sat there and replied directly, "Liu Dashan’s mother previously delivered many children, who died at birth, yet no bodies were ever seen.
I suspect that the children didn’t die at all but were taken away and sold by Liu Dashan’s mother."
Upon hearing this, the man’s face changed repeatedly. He looked at Third Uncle Zhou angrily and sternly said, "You better think carefully before you speak.
If this matter is found to be false, you are slandering Liu Dashan’s mother."
Third Uncle Zhou shook his head, "What I said is true, you can investigate it."
After listening to this, the man’s expression turned grim, and he left the interrogation room to find the middle-aged man he had spoken with earlier. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"Captain, that man insists that Liu Dashan’s mother delivered children who died but he never saw the bodies. What do we do now, should we continue the investigation?
What about these people? Should we release them or keep them detained?" Detaining them without proper charges isn’t appropriate.
The middle-aged man, also a Liu from Liu Village, squinted his eyes slightly, his gaze calculating as he replied, "The children’s bodies have already been arranged for those few families.
Go tell him clearly, if he’s still fussing about this matter, then detain him for causing trouble intentionally and creating disturbances."
The young policeman nodded and promptly went to find Third Uncle Zhou, conveying the families’ situation with a threatening tone, "I’ve made things very clear.
If you continue to make trouble, you’ll stay in the police station for a proper reformation."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheyuan immediately became furious, "Such nonsense! You’re making mistakes together.
I see they’re trafficking children and you bunch are the accomplices!"
The middle-aged man standing outside heard this and immediately, filled with anger, kicked open the door and charged into the room.
Zhou Zheyuan was startled by this loud entrance.
Soon, the middle-aged man closed the door, looking provocatively at Third Uncle Zhou and others, "Young man, you can mess with food, but not with words.
You are completely slandering our police, tarnishing our reputation. Summon the men to arrest and thoroughly interrogate them. I want to see what these people are really here for."
The middle-aged man, speaking boldly for the first time, then raised his fist to strike Zhou Zheyuan’s face.
Although there had been disturbances before, he had suppressed them, and no one had dared to speak out like this.
These outsiders were truly unaware of their place; in this county, he was the law, and no matter how capable they were elsewhere, here they had to behave.
Third Uncle Zhou saw the middle-aged man’s raised fist and swiftly dashed forward, blocking in front of Zhou Zheyuan and quickly grabbing the man’s fist with one hand.
The middle-aged man exerted all his strength, looking at Third Uncle Zhou with shock on his face!
Surprisingly, this person was so strong, able to block his punch with just one hand.
Third Uncle Zhou, also angered, didn’t expect a small police captain to be so arrogant and unreasonable.
He could only imagine how difficult life was for the people in the county under such leadership.
He involuntarily increased his grip, causing the middle-aged man’s face to change drastically, his lips twitching as he endured the pain.
