Chapter 383: 145, holy moly! Lin Mo and Chen Shanhe met in the elevator! _5
Hmm?
Upon hearing those few names, the villagers around once again became lively.
“What do you mean, asking about them?”
“It seems like they are all at home, but Lin Xiumin moved into the city, just bought a house.”
“Ha, can’t you see it yet?”
“Think about it carefully, aren’t these the families that cursed Lin Mo’s family the harshest in the short videos, and sold the most goods?”
“Right, right, right, it’s them! Lin Wu recently bought a house in the city too, I heard he now has 200,000 followers.”
“Leader, Lin Changshou is here!”
A voice called out from the crowd, and following that, a man in his fifties was pushed out by the villagers.
Wang Mintao looked at him and asked, “Are you Lin Changshou?”
“No..no..no…” Lin Changshou kept waving his hands, saying in panic, “Comrade… comrade, I… I haven’t committed any crime.”
Wang Mintao said sternly, “Whether you have committed a crime is not for you to say. Your Douyin account is called Zhangzhuang Lin Changshou, right?”
The villagers nearby began to make a commotion.
“That’s right, it’s him!”
“I follow him!”
“This guy has been organizing gambling in the village every year, he’s also known for cheating.”
“Last year, when Lin Mo returned, he was the one who visited their house most frequently, and as soon as trouble arose, he was the first to curse them on Douyin!”
“Officer, don’t let him get away with it.”
As the villagers denounced him, Wang Mintao questioned coldly, “Do you have anything else to say?”
“I…I… I…I…” Lin Changshou stammered, “I didn’t know… you can’t curse on Douyin…”
Wang Mintao frowned and said seriously, “Cursing is a moral issue, which we don’t handle, but you can’t spread rumors.”
“You said Lin Mo’s family used to engage in fraud in Northern Myanmar, do you have any evidence?”
“Moreover, you claimed Lin Mo runs an online gambling company, and has connections with our top leaders in East Sea City, where’s the proof?”
“The propagation of these matters online is significant and has constituted a crime.”
Lin Changshou, head lowered, could not utter half a sentence.
All those stories were fabricated by him, how could he possibly produce any evidence.
Wang Mintao, no longer interested in wasting words, waved his hand and said, “Cuff him, take him away with the others later!”
Two officers stepped forward and cuffed his hands.
Wang Mintao then turned to Lin Xueyi and said, “Take me to Lin Mo’s house, we need to collect some evidence.”
“You’ll need to come with us tonight as well.”
What?
Lin Xueyi took a subconscious step back, waving his hands repeatedly: “I haven’t committed any crime, I didn’t curse Lin Mo’s family either, I…”
Wang Mintao said, “That’s not related, we just need you to cooperate with the investigation.”
Hearing it was just to cooperate with the investigation, Lin Xueyi finally felt relieved and nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, yes, I’ll cooperate, I will fully cooperate.”
Wang Mintao turned his head to address all villagers: “Those names I mentioned earlier, if you see them, tell them that turning themselves in is completely different from being arrested by us, and they should report to the station by themselves tomorrow.”
“If they don’t show up, they’ll bear the consequences.”
“Alright, everyone disperse, there’s nothing interesting to see here.”
After dispersing the villagers, Wang Mintao, accompanied by the village head and a few of Lin Mo’s relatives, majestically marched towards his house.
…
In an ordinary residential area in Yuhang.
“Officer, I was wrong. Could you please spare me this time?”
“I was a schoolmate of Lin Mo, I… I didn’t either…”
“Listen to me, please…”
Beep…beep beep…
The phone was hung up. Xiang Feiwen collapsed onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling and muttering to himself: “It’s all over now, completely over.”
Next to Xiang Feiwen, his mother pushed him anxiously and asked, “Son, what did the police say?”
Xiang’s father paced the living room, shouting irritably, “How could I have such a useless child, always causing trouble, now tell us, what exactly did the police say?”
Xiang Feiwen, with a look of utter despair, said, “The police told me that I spread rumors in the short videos, and they want me to explain things tomorrow.”
Smack!
Xiang’s father couldn’t help but slap him across the face, his fingers trembling as he said, “I’ve told you before, don’t talk nonsense, don’t talk nonsense, now look, the shop is gone and you’re going in too.”
“You avoid the trouble on the ground, yet you stirred trouble with the heavens.”
“Can an ordinary person fight against a big-shot like Chen Shanhe?”
Xiang’s mother, worried about her son, said anxiously, “Old man, the child didn’t do it on purpose, beating him won’t solve anything. Think of a way, what should we do now?”
“Good-for-nothing woman! It’s all because of the ‘great’ son you’ve raised!” Xiang’s father pondered for a while and said irritably, “The most urgent thing right now is to find Lin Mo. If he is willing to put in a good word for you, maybe we can shield you from this.”
“What are you standing around for!”
“Don’t you have some class group chat, and that Zhang Yihua who shoots anime? Contact them quickly!”
Right!
Xiang Feiwen, upon hearing his father’s words, had an epiphany and immediately took out his phone to ask around in the class group.
But no one had Lin Mo’s contact information.
He called Zhang Yihua, but after just one sentence, the call was ruthlessly cut off.
Helpless,
He could only reach out to female classmates who used to be close to Li Jinwen, hoping to get in touch with Lin Mo.
…
Tonight in Grand Xia was bound to be restless.
While police in various localities were frantically dealing with matters related to Lin Mo, the police and military forces in Northern Sea City were also kept busy under the ingenious arrangements of Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe didn’t resort to using his connections but instead dispatched his own assassins, secretly orchestrating a major bloodbath in the downtown area, creating a grave situation.
