Chapter 960 I've Provoked a Big Shot!
"Ah~~~"
"What are you doing... in broad daylight... are you trying to rob me?"
"Help! Murder!"
"I'm calling the police! You...you'll go to jail...is there no law anymore...?"
The shop owner struggled desperately, like a fat pig about to be slaughtered during the Lunar New Year, impossible to control.
It took several police officers to pounce on him and finally bring him under control.
Zhang Jicai, holding his work ID, said, "What are you shouting for? Shut up. Do you see what this is?"
I am a police officer!
Zhang Jicai knew the other person's identity the moment he took out the handcuffs. The reason he shouted like that was to attract the attention of people outside.
Unfortunately, there was no one on the street, and the shop was too far from the gatekeeper's office, which was dozens of meters away. No one came out of the gatehouse to check the situation.
He could only think of another way: "Why are you arresting me? I just run a small grocery store and haven't done anything illegal or disorderly."
"What right do you have to arrest me?"
Zhang Jicai couldn't help but shout sternly, "Demanding five hundred cartons of cigarettes, do you dare say that's not illegal?"
The shop owner's expression changed drastically, and then he said matter-of-factly, "I sell cigarettes and alcohol. He wants five hundred cartons of cigarettes and gave me the money to place the order."
This isn't illegal, is it? I'll give him a cigarette in a bit.
This is a normal transaction, why are you arresting me?
Zhang Jicai found it amusing: "Do you think you're the smartest person in the whole world?"
I have video recordings from beginning to end; every word you say is evidence.
When it comes to gathering evidence, we're more professional than you; we're not just sitting around doing nothing!
The shop owner collapsed to the ground, filled with unbearable regret.
In the past, he was always careful and cautious in his actions, only offering a few packs of cigarettes or giving the visitor a ride-hailing service number.
Then they did nothing.
Now, suddenly the upstream supplier has changed, and the way to make money hasn't been determined yet; it's all too rushed.
He could only demand money directly.
He thought that doing it once wouldn't cause any problems, after all, Wang Tiezhu had already passed the obedience test, and last time... there were no problems.
I never imagined that one moment of carelessness would lead to such a complete defeat.
Wang Tiezhu stood aside watching, still feeling unsatisfied, and reminded Zhang Jicai: "Check his QR code payment records. We need to check all the records for this shop."
Every time he accepted money, it was an act of extortion.
Zhang Jicai frowned. This time there was solid evidence and video recording, making the conviction simple and the sentence quick.
Once submitted, the court can hold a hearing and convict within a week.
If we were to investigate the past, we would have to find every victim of extortion and take their statements, which would be an enormous amount of work.
It even brought up some old grievances, involving certain important figures, which is a headache just to think about.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly made a decision, smiling as he asked Wang Tiezhu, "Thank you for your suggestion. May I ask which department you work in?"
Wang Tiezhu smiled and said, "I am a villager from Shuijing Village, Muyang Town."
Zhang Jicai frowned, thinking to himself, "So that's how it is."
No wonder he spoke so casually and carelessly to Liu Yuan, the top leader, without any of the manners expected of someone in the system.
His original identity was simply that of a farmer.
His tone turned colder: "Do you know what kind of things can be considered evidence?"
Do you know what witness testimony, physical evidence, and personal testimony are?
Wang Tiezhu shook his head: "How would I know? That's why I asked you to investigate."
The other person's question was unreasonable, and even carried a hint of sarcasm.
A professional mocking an ordinary person.
He was furious, but he managed to control his emotions and tried to communicate.
Zhang Jicai said coldly, "If you don't know, then speak less and don't try to instruct experts when you don't know yourself."
We know what to do!
If it weren't for Liu Yuan's sake, he wouldn't have bothered to answer a single question. If Wang Tiezhu were in a bad mood, he wouldn't dare ask such a question.
His mere mention of "obstructing office work" was enough to send Wang Tiezhu into a panic.
He now feels that he has been quite restrained in speaking like this.
Wang Tiezhu frowned: "Knowing what to do is one thing, but as the victim, can I understand your plans?"
For example, have you conducted an in-depth investigation into this guy's past illegal activities and plans?
Zhang Jicai frowned. This guy didn't understand the meaning behind his words and kept pressing for answers. His expression turned serious, and his tone became somewhat warning: "No matter what our plans are, you have no right to know!"
Liu Yuan watched with a frown. He had already given Zhang Jicai a warning, and he didn't want to know the specifics of how Zhang Jicai would handle the case.
But now I have to step forward: "Deputy Director Zhang, am I qualified to know?"
A fawning smile spread across Zhang Jicai's cold face as he walked up to Liu Yuan, bowing slightly as he said, "If the leader wants to know anything, he can ask me anytime."
Liu Yuan said with a serious expression, "I just want to know, do you have any plans to investigate this guy's past illegal activities in depth?"
Zhang Jicai's expression changed drastically. Clearly, Liu Yuan was speaking up for the farmer beside him, but wasn't this guy a farmer from Shuijing Village in Muyang Town?
Why does the county magistrate value him so much?
With that thought in mind, he carefully considered his words before speaking: "Yes... After I go back, I will formulate a plan, hold a meeting to discuss it in detail, and come up with a mature and feasible plan."
I will report this to the supervisor at that time!
Liu Yuan turned to Wang Tiezhu and said, "I'll report back to you after I get the feasibility study report, okay?"
Zhang Jicai watched this scene in shock.
A storm of emotions surged within me.
What do you mean?
The county magistrate is reporting to a farmer.
Isn't this person's status even higher than Liu Yuan's?
Oh no, we've messed with a big shot!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he felt his legs go weak and he lost all his strength.
After so many years of hard work, I've finally climbed to where I am today.
Now, however, he has offended a powerful figure, wasting all his previous efforts and ruining his future.
After he calmed himself down a bit, he quickly walked up to Liu Yuan and said, "Boss, you're busy with work, you don't need to report to this gentleman."
I will personally visit them and, while I'm at it, give them a detailed work report.
Liu Yuan looked at Wang Tiezhu. Whether or not to agree was Wang Tiezhu's business, and he could not make the decision on his own.
When Wang Tiezhu saw Liu Yuan looking over, he shook his head, his face dark, and said coldly, "I'm too busy with the crops in my fields to listen to his report!"
Liu Yuan shrugged at Zhang Jicai: "If they don't want to see you, there's nothing I can do."
You should report to me.
I then relayed it to him.
