Fishing and Hunting 82, Starting with Three Sisters Who Overprotect Their Brothers

Chapter 148 Joint Defense

Hong Yuan's face was devoid of any smile, a stark contrast to his usual gentle demeanor when interacting with Zhang Wenshan.

He frowned, glanced at the police station courtyard, and his tone turned somber.

"Release them immediately!"

"No?"

The older comrade paused for a moment, and his expression became tense.

"Chef Hong, what happened? What a question! The three of us have been here all night, we haven't even left the house, how could we be arresting someone?"

"No one was arrested?"

Hong Yuan was taken aback, then slightly stepped aside to let Zhang Wenshan move forward, softening his tone.

"This is Comrade Zhang Wenshan from Chishongtun. He found a dead deer on the mountain today and was afraid it would spoil, so he brought it to me overnight."

"When he went to the family building to find me, he left his father and brother-in-law at the restaurant entrance to watch the goods. When we rushed over, he and the goods were gone. His friend told me that he was taken to your police station."

"impossible!"

The older comrade interrupted Hong Yuan directly, his tone serious.

"Chef Hong, you can't just say things like that; the room where people are usually locked up is right there; see for yourself."

He pointed to the other side, then turned to Zhang Wenshan and said, "What evidence do you have? If you don't, you're slandering our police station, which is a very serious matter—"

"Don't make a big deal out of this," Hong Yuan waved his hand to interrupt. "His friend sent someone over, they'll be here soon, bro—"

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Wenshan could only nod helplessly.

I thought it was just a small misunderstanding, and that I could get my family back after explaining it at the police station.

Little did they know, the person wasn't even here.

What if Dad and my brother-in-law really encounter some danger?

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go and call them over right away. Also, could you please come with us to the back entrance of the state-run restaurant to check out the scene?"

"Ask if any other neighbors witnessed what happened?"

A young man next to him said with a hint of disdain, "It's pitch black, what can you possibly see? Maybe your friend is mistaken."

"Exactly, maybe they saw something interesting and followed it," another young comrade added. "They might be back in a bit."

Wu Xia and Hong Yuan didn't say anything more.

With things escalating to this point, they began to doubt whether Lang Qiuping had truly made a mistake, and they were even less willing to let things get too tense at the police station, since they would still have to deal with him in the future.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenshan sighed and said with feigned emotion.

"It's a pity that the venison won't be good for long, especially that whole deer penis—"

"Old Cao, let's go now!"

Upon hearing that the deer penis was intact, Hong Yuan's eyes lit up instantly. He stepped forward, grabbed the older comrade's arm, and dragged him out the door without saying a word.

"Go check the back door of the restaurant, look for clues; that's venison!"

"Hey, let go." Old Cao tried to break free, but due to the large age and size difference, he couldn't really fight back and was dragged to the outside of the police station compound.

Two young comrades followed behind.

Helping is one thing, not helping is another; I'm so anxious I'm stamping my feet.

"What's the point of going now? Where are we going to look for it at night?" Old Cao said angrily. "Let's ask first. If we're wrong, it'll all be a waste of time—"

"I didn't see wrong!"

A roar filled with grievance and anger suddenly rang out.

Lang Qiuping rushed over, his forehead covered in sweat and his hair plastered to his head.

He stared intently, pointing at the gate of the police station, his tone firm.

"Those guys brought Uncle Zhang here! I'm not blind!"

"When I came to town before, Brother Shanzi specifically told me that if I encountered any difficulties, I should come to the police station, saying that this is the place that stands up for the people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence; even the sound of the wind could be heard clearly.

The annoyance on Lao Cao's face instantly turned into embarrassment. He subconsciously straightened his clothes and looked at Zhang Wenshan with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, this young man trusted the police station so much.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and tried to sound as amicable as possible: "Young comrade, are you sure the people who robbed you came here? You haven't mistaken the place?"

Zhang Wenshan hadn't expected Lang Qiuping to return so quickly. He nodded slightly, signaling him to tell the truth.

After receiving an affirmative look, Lang Qiuping nodded vigorously and said, "That's it, they've all started taking things downstairs."

"These audacious bastards!"

After hearing this, Lao Cao's face turned black with anger, and he slammed his hand on the holster at his waist, speaking in a stern tone.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, hurry up and inform the station chief. We'll search every house along the street. I refuse to believe they dare to unload stolen goods in front of the police station; they clearly don't respect us!"

If we don't find this person, we'll never be able to face anyone again!

Zhang Wenshan had an even bigger headache after hearing this.

According to Lang Qiuping, the other party may indeed have gone through the police station and made a mistake.

But it's not his fault.

In Lang Qiuping's mind, when someone comes to the police station to arrest someone, it can only be the police; there are no other options.

It's not the fault of the police officers; if you don't go inside that courtyard, the people inside can't see what's happening outside.

"it is good."

Just then, a powerful and resonant voice rang out.

"No need for that."

Lin Deqiang strode over, his dark blue security uniform exuding an air of authority.

Behind him followed Li Xuejun and several other security personnel from the agricultural machinery factory. They all had serious expressions, held wooden sticks in their hands, and marched in unison. Just standing there, they exuded a sense of intimidation.

"Second brother-in-law."

"Section Chief Lin."

"Comrade Lin."

Several voices rang out at the same time. As the deputy head of the security department of the agricultural machinery factory, he had dealt with both state-run restaurants and police stations.

"Don't worry, Dad and brother-in-law will be fine."

Lin Deqiang patted Zhang Wenshan on the shoulder, giving him a reassuring look, then turned to Lao Cao, his tone low and firm, without a trace of unnecessary politeness.

"Around here, who else but them could be the ones who can arrest people and then brazenly park in front of the police station to unload stolen goods?"

"Is it them?"

Old Cao was taken aback, then remembered something and turned to look at the alley diagonally opposite.

"This is troublesome." Old Hong sighed upon seeing this, his brows furrowing.

Zhang Wenshan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large courtyard in the alley diagonally opposite. It was smaller than the police station and seemed to be some kind of government unit, but it was already abandoned.

The entrance was too narrow for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through.

It just so happens that Lang Qiuping mentioned unloading things at the entrance of the police station.

"Second brother-in-law, what place is that? What are you talking about?" Zhang Wenshan couldn't help but become anxious.

Hong Yuan was the head chef of a state-owned restaurant, the actual person in charge, with extensive connections, and was a big shot in Maoshu Town.

Things that would bother him.

That must be a real problem.
