As expected, Li Zhong was surrounded in front of his house early the next morning.
They all sought explanations from Feng Yanhong, accused Feng Yanhong of indiscriminate and false accusations, and even scolded her very unpleasantly.
Li Zhong opened the door and came out, and the people around him were immediately silent again.
"What are you doing?!"
The group of people unconsciously took half a step back. Xue Dongmei, who was in the lead, also shrank her shoulders and said:
"Captain Li, we know that you are from the police station, but you cannot avenge yourself and use that incident to arrest people randomly! We are here today to demand an explanation. Why do you arrest people!"
Li Zhong stood in front of the door without changing his expression, "You said I avenge my personal revenge?"
"Then tell me, what grudge do we have?"
Naturally, Xue Dongmei couldn't explain why. The two families usually had little contact, so how could there be any enmity?
"I made it clear to you yesterday that this person is not being arrested. The city's Public Security Bureau is just saying to cooperate with the investigation."
"They were arrested because they refused to cooperate. If they had really done nothing, they would be back soon."
Xue Dongmei thought for a while and shook her head: "No! That must be the case. We have all heard that this case is related to Feng Yanhong's case. It must be Feng Yanhong's random biting that led to so many people being arrested!"
"Who told you this? Those who make random corrections and mislead the police will also be held legally responsible."
"Our police station has not received clear information, so how can your gossips be true?"
As soon as Li Zhong said these words, some people were already shaken.
"Does Captain Li really mean what he said?"
"Of course it's true!"
"At this time, it is a wise choice for everyone not to believe or spread rumors and wait patiently for the police to reply to us."
"Why should we believe you! That person named Feng Yanhong is your daughter-in-law. How do I know if you will protect her?"
Some were hesitant, while others were still skeptical. Li Zhong remained calm and calm.
"Who do you think the city's public security bureau will protect because of me, a small police officer?"
Now he can't deny Yan Hong's connection with this case, nor can he reveal any details about this matter. Naturally, he can only use these words to persuade the people.
Fortunately, Li Zhong has accumulated a lot of reputation over the years.
"It's just a routine investigation, and the results will be revealed soon. But if you continue to cause trouble like this, you might not be able to wait for the results of the investigation before you find out the truth again."
"Everyone, I know you are worried about your children, but please wait patiently for the results and don't believe the rumors."
Most people still listened to Li Zhong's words. After hesitating and discussing, some people quietly withdrew.
"You said the results will be available soon, when exactly will it be? You can't fool us."
"It depends on whether the children are willing to cooperate with the investigation. It's not something I can just say. I don't have to fool you on this."
The people in front of Li's house had not dispersed, and Li Zhong didn't care. He pushed his bicycle to the front of Feng's house.
As expected, the people in front of the Feng family were obviously more vicious.
The courtyard door was already crumbling, and the front door still smelled like rotten eggs, and the curses never stopped.
Fortunately, he had been angry with Feng Taizhou before and did not have a direct conflict with these people. He just closed the courtyard door tightly and avoided seeing them.
"If you have anything to say, you can go to the police station and tell them. What's going on when you surround someone's door?"
"The above did not say that this case has anything to do with the Feng family. It is just a routine investigation. There is no need to bring the relationship between the villagers to this point."
Li Zhong's words did not soothe the emotions of these people. He also knew very well that since the matter had been fermented to this point, he could not persuade them with just one or two words.
"Don't fool us, you and the Feng family are in-laws and we belong to the same family!"
"We have all heard that it was Feng Yanhong, your good daughter-in-law, who snatched our children away because of her random grabbing and biting!"
"That's right! What kind of fellow villagers? If the Feng family regarded us as fellow villagers, they wouldn't bite us randomly and arrest all our children!"
"How could anyone do such a thing! Why should we arrest our children and investigate? The investigation can use guns and sticks to take people away indiscriminately?!"
"Yes! Someone saw what happened at that time, so it's not just an investigation, it's an arrest!"
"Li Zhong! Don't talk nonsense to us. Let him go quickly so that we can meet easily in the future. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
About ten people spoke to each other, as if they wanted to vent their accumulated anger on Li Zhong.
Li Zhong stood there without getting angry and spoke again very seriously.
"I told you yesterday that this matter is not what you imagined, let alone what the rumors spread. The right choice is to wait for the city's investigation results."
"You are making trouble everywhere now, which is not a wise choice!"
"Whether it's wise or not! I don't care. The protection of the country is the lifeblood of my family. If you refuse to let him go, I won't leave here!"
Baoguo's mother stood in the middle of the alley with her arms akimbo, as if she didn't want to eat anything.
"Baoguo Mom, you are being unreasonable. The city police took him away. Even if I want to let him go, I can't help you, right?"
Li Zhong hesitated for less than three seconds, and immediately changed his strategy. With a faint smile on his face, he took out a pack of cigarettes as a joke and gave them to several gay men.
"The instructions given to us by the city were to wait for the results, but they didn't tell us why."
"But I heard that when your Baoguo and several young men on the team were taken away, they had a lot of cash in their hands."
"Perhaps someone reported gambling?"
Baoguo Ma's aura instantly dropped, her shoulders slumped, and her eyes began to look wavering.
"But our Du Fei didn't participate! Why were people taken away too?"
The gay man who had just lit a cigarette quickly asked.
"Then when we were looking for him, why was your Du Fei running away?"
Du Fei's father also immediately shut up. If he hadn't done anything wrong, who would run away from the police when they saw him?
"If you are reported for gambling, it won't be a big deal. The amount is not big. At most, you will be detained for a few days and you will be released after suffering."
Without Li Zhong saying anything else, some people were already comforting themselves.
"What if not?"
"Didn't Company Commander Li just say that? We can go to the police station and wait. Call the police all the time. If anything happens in the city, we will definitely notify the police station as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, yes! Then let's go to the police station and wait."
A group of people cheered towards the police station. After everyone had left the alleyway, Li Zhong knocked on Feng's door.
"Everyone has left?" Feng Taizhou looked very unhappy when he came out.
"We've gone to the police station. Please clean up the front of your house quickly. I still have to go to work. I'll ask Bo Song to help later."
"No, no, let the children concentrate on their review, I will do it myself. My parents-in-law go to work quickly, don't worry about it here."
