Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Half an hour later.

Ye Chen's house was surrounded by a huge crowd.

The appearance of two uniformed police officers immediately attracted the attention of all the villagers.

"These police officers are rarely seen. What major event has occurred?"

"I heard Ye Chen killed someone, and these police officers are here to arrest him!"

"Ye Chen killed someone? Does he have that kind of guts?"

Amidst the crowd's attention, a middle-aged man in a police uniform walked into the courtyard.

Behind him followed a young man wearing the uniform of the county's security team.

"Hello, I am Zhao Changshun, a police officer from the county public security bureau."

"Was it you who called the police just now? What exactly happened?"

"Officer, a scoundrel has appeared in our village. This guy named Ye Chen not only extorts money from people, but he also tried to kill them."

Liu Changjun was determined to kill Ye Chen, and he embellished the story when describing the scene.

"Thanks to my intervention at the critical moment, otherwise someone would have died today."

"This matter concerns the reputation of our village and must be severely punished. As the team leader, I called the police, hoping that the officers can uphold justice!"

After his explanation, even the dog-like creature beside him was completely bewildered.

Good grief, what grudge does the captain have against Ye Chen?

He's much more ruthless than me when it comes to dealing with Ye Chen!

"Where are the victims?"

Upon hearing Zhao Changshun's question, Gou Laizi finally realized what was happening and quickly raised his hand to complain.

"Officer, I am the victim!"

"Ye Chen almost strangled me to death just now, and even threatened me for money."

"I was no match for him. If the captain hadn't saved me, I'd probably be dead by now!"

"You're talking nonsense! You clearly broke into my home and tried to do something disgusting to me!"

Seeing the two sides working in unison, Tian Xiaohui panicked.

He quickly stepped forward and spoke.

Gou Laizi trembled, his heart filled with even greater fear.

The police have arrived. If they find out the truth, do you think you can survive?

He should be convicted of hooliganism!

No, we have to pin everything on Ye Chen!

If he doesn't die, I will!

"Officer, you can't listen to a woman's nonsense! She's Ye Chen's accomplice!"

"Look, the marks Ye Chen made on me are still there!"

"This red mark hasn't faded after half an hour. How much force did he use? He clearly wanted to kill me!"

As he spoke, Gou Laizi stretched out his neck.

A finger injury, followed by a long complaint.

Upon hearing this, the young man standing next to Zhao Changshun walked straight toward Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, right? You are suspected of robbery and attempted murder!"

"We advise you not to resist, come with us!"

"Since when did the police stop relying on evidence and start judging cases by who shouts the loudest?"

Ye Chen remained calm and composed as he spoke.

"Comrade, after you arrived at the scene, you neither conducted an investigation nor questioned anyone."

"Based solely on a few words from a so-called victim, to label me and threaten to handcuff and take me away—don't you think that's too arbitrary?"

"You..." The young man was stunned.

Although he was just a member of the security team, he was still working for Zhao Changshun.

Normally, when those criminals see him, they all bow and scrape, begging for mercy.

Ye Chen still dares to resist?

That's incredibly audacious!

"The matter is already very clear, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"The victim has already described what happened, and we've seen the injuries. Are you going to resist?"

"I'm warning you, if you struggle today, that will only make your crime worse, and you'll be in big trouble in jail!"

The young man shouted directly, his face cold and sinister.

This sight made Ye Chen frown.

How can an unofficial member of the security team speak so arrogantly?

"Dong Hao, stop talking."

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhao Changshun stepped forward and stopped the young man.

As a seasoned veteran police officer, he had already noticed many clues.

Something's not right about this!

There's probably more to the story!

Who would choose to commit murder within their own family?

Moreover, Gou Laizi had a shifty and sneaky appearance, while Ye Chen, on the other hand, exuded righteousness.

How can the victim feel guilty while the criminals act with such self-righteousness?

Someone is clearly lying!

"I am Zhao Changjun, the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Public Security Bureau. Comrade Ye Chen, judging from what you just said, do you have something to say?"

"Just speak up in front of so many people."

"Our police force is here to uphold justice for the people. We will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we let any guilty person go unpunished!"

"Deputy Captain Zhao, since you're a smart man, it's easier to explain. Here's what happened..."

Realizing Zhao Changshun's personality, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he truthfully described his experience of going into the mountains to hunt, only to find that a scoundrel was trying to take liberties with his ex-wife upon his return.

Zhao Changshun frowned, already having made his judgment.

Judging from the reactions at the scene, what Ye Chen said should be the truth!

But now, as the victim, Gou Laizi insists that Ye Chen attacked him.

But the wounds on Gou Laizi's body were enough to prove all of this!

However, no one could testify to Ye Chen's claim that Gou Laizi had sexually assaulted his ex-wife.

It will be difficult to reverse the situation!

"Comrade Ye Chen, what do you think of this?"

"All those involved, come with me to the police station. I will definitely investigate thoroughly and uncover the truth!"

The case was complicated, and Zhao Changshun had no other choice but to make this arrangement.

But Ye Chen shook his head, stared straight at Gou Laizi, and spoke.

"Officer, this matter is actually very simple. Could I ask Gou Laizi a few questions in your presence?"

"Just a few words will reveal the truth."

"You're all busy, so closing the case sooner will save you trouble!"

Does this kid really have that much confidence?

Zhao Changshun was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, remembering the many troublesome matters he still had to deal with.

"I'll give you some time. If you can produce evidence to prove your innocence within five minutes, I won't take you back."

"Thank you, Comrade Zhao."

Ye Chen smiled, thanked him, and then walked straight toward Gou Laizi.

He had already noticed the flaws in Gou Laizi's description long ago!

As long as we confront them face-to-face, we can definitely expose their true colors!

"You scoundrel, you just said I was home when you came?"

"So, you're saying I stayed at home last night?"

"Of course!" Gou Laizi nodded subconsciously.

But after realizing what had happened, my heart skipped a beat.

Oops!

You misspoke!

Ye Chen clearly went hunting last night and didn't return, but he said he was at home.

If the police find out, wouldn't that mean I lied?

In a panic, Gou Laizi quickly changed his tune.

"No, I misspoke. When I arrived, you had clearly just gotten home!"

"You went hunting in the mountains last night and didn't return all night. You only came back this morning. Is there a problem?"

"Brother, you really care about me!"

This was exactly the effect Ye Chen wanted, and he immediately let out a cold laugh.

"We are not related, yet you know exactly where I am."

"You still say you don't have any ulterior motives?"
