Chapter 2376: Chapter 2377: New Case
Seeing the police car coming, the crowd around made way, their eyes filled with caution.
After parking the car, three people alighted.
Lin Yi glanced at the person sitting on the ground and couldn’t help but frown, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin stepped forward, hastily helped the person up, and checked the wounds, which were not severe and he was still conscious.
“Is it entertaining to just watch? Didn’t anyone step forward to help?”
The villagers looked at each other, all lowering their heads, no one daring to respond.
But all of them, intentionally or not, looked towards a middle-aged man nearby.
“Who called the police?” Lin Yi asked quietly.
“Officer, it was me who called the police…” the man who was helped up said.
“Don’t rush to talk, first treat your wounds.”
“It’s alright, my injuries are not severe.”
“Then tell us what happened.”
“Officer, my name is Zhang Long.”
Zhang Long, very agitated, pointed at the middle-aged man nearby and said:
“He wants to build a factory on our land, offering a very low price, I disagreed, so he keeps causing trouble at our house every few days.”
“Now planting season is almost here, he brought people over to make trouble again, even preventing me from planting. Tell me, isn’t this bullying?”
“Are you sure everything you said is true? Lying has legal consequences.”
“I guarantee it’s all true, I haven’t exaggerated at all, you must do me justice.”
Lin Yi nodded, looking towards the middle-aged man, “Do you acknowledge what he said?”
The middle-aged man gave Lin Yi a glance, his expression indifferent, and motioned for him to come closer.
“Young man, come here.”
Zhang Peng: ??
Zhang Zixin: ??
Such a nonchalant gesture stunned both of them.
This was the first time they encountered a reported person who dared to speak to the police in such a tone.
Lin Yi was also slightly surprised, feeling that this person must be quite the smooth operator.
Ordinary people don’t possess such audacity and composure.
Lin Yi followed his request and stood beside him.
The man took out a box of 95 Supreme from his pocket and offered Lin Yi one.
“Brother, have one.” Lin Yi pushed his hand back, refusing.
“My name is Ma Haiqiang, don’t be so serious, we’re all in the same boat.”
“Don’t try to ingratiate yourself, I don’t know you or recognise you.”
“You handle things strictly by the book; I can tell you’re new here,” Ma Haiqiang said with a smile:
“You’re from Xinshan branch office, Xiangyang Village is under your jurisdiction.”
“What then, what do you want to say?”
“My middle school classmate, Li Mingyang, works downtown, in the same system as you, he’s currently a director. Anything else needed?” Ma Haiqiang spoke with confidence:
“If you don’t know him, go back and ask around. Better stay out of my affairs for the sake of your own future. Don’t do something foolish.”
After speaking, Ma Haiqiang prepared to leave, no longer paying attention to Lin Yi.
“Don’t even mention he’s your classmate, even if he’s your father it won’t work.”
Ma Haiqiang abruptly stopped in his tracks, his face turning serious.
“Kid, watch your words, be careful of disaster stemming from your lips.”
“Don’t play these tricks with me, if you think he’s effective, call him now and let’s see how powerful he is.”
“Heh…”
Ma Haiqiang scoffed, “Didn’t realize you’re quite stubborn. Just wait, I’m calling him now.”
Ma Haiqiang pulled out his phone, quickly connecting to Li Mingyang.
“Brother Li, are you busy?”
“Just finished a meeting, what’s up?”
“It’s about that fertilizer factory again, that jackass refuses to sell the land, some officers from Xinshan branch office are here trying to arrest me, maybe you could speak for me?”
Li Mingyang was silent for a few seconds.
“Let the other side take the phone.”
Ma Haiqiang laughed, “I’m on speaker; he can hear.”
“I am Li Mingyang, from the Public Security Department…”
“It doesn’t matter who you are, I’m Lin Yi, do you know who I am?”
Before the other party could finish, Lin Yi interrupted.
“Hmm? Director Lin? You’re handling this case?”
Evidently, the person named Li Mingyang knew who Lin Yi was, his tone instantly becoming respectful.
“Since you know who I am, let’s cut to the chase. This man, Ma Haiqiang, what do you think should be done with him?”
“However you decide to handle it, I’m fine with it. Arrest if needed, sentence if that’s the call, I have no relationships here.”
“That’s all I needed to hear.”
Ma Haiqiang was dumbfounded, feeling like he must be hallucinating.
“Brother Li, what are you saying? You’re not going to intervene?”
“I’m not dealing with this crap!” Li Mingyang swore, “Your good days are over, Director Lin personally dealing with you is your honor, just shut up.”
“But…” Ma Haiqiang tried to argue but was cut off by Li Mingyang.
“Don’t be resentful, being arrested by Director Lin is your good fortune. Those arrested by him are people like Bai Yongshou, Wei Yihua, look at yourself, what are you?”
After scolding, Li Mingyang hung up the phone, not wanting to be involved any further.
Ma Haiqiang’s face fell, unable to speak for a long while.
“I am giving you some time, keep calling around, if not, I’m taking you in.”
“Nothing, nothing left…”

Ma Haiqiang was blank, left with no choice but to admit guilt.
Lin Yi took out handcuffs, secured Ma Haiqiang, and escorted him to the car, telling Zhang Long:
“We’re taking him, later he’ll compensate your medical expenses, wait for our notice for the results.”
Seeing Ma Haiqiang being taken away, Zhang Long expressed his thanks to Lin Yi.
The other villagers also clapped in appreciation, seeming to have long suffered under him; Lin Yi’s actions were indeed gratifying.
As there were many people, Zhang Peng called another car, handcuffed Ma Haiqiang and his accomplices, and left first.
Just as Lin Yi and his team were about to leave, suddenly, a cry of alarm came from the distance.
A cry so desperate, as if something major had happened.
“Officer, don’t go, there’s been a big disaster, someone’s dead!”
Upon hearing the shout, the three immediately became alert, hurriedly got out of the car, and saw a middle-aged woman running towards them, wiping her tears and shouting loudly.
Zhang Long muttered, “Isn’t that my Aunt Zhang? Her husband just passed away, why is she running looking for police?”
“Do you know this woman?”
Zhang Long nodded, puzzled:
“Her name is Zhang Dongmei, her husband was Fang Daye, the village chief here, but he stepped down last October due to poor health. They diagnosed him with stomach cancer before the New Year, according to the timing, he should have passed away these days, but death from old age and illness is normal, coming to find the police is not right.”
