If everyone were taken away, the consequences would be too dire. His first reaction was to mediate, hoping to reconcile both parties and make Chen Daoguang and the others realize the seriousness of the problem so they would choose to back down.
However, Chen Zishi was relentless. "Officer Qian, their actions have already constituted serious illegal crimes. The evidence I provided can fully prove their criminal behavior, and other villagers also know that they have been blocking my family's door. We will not compromise on this issue! I only hope that those who should be arrested are arrested, and those who should be sentenced are sentenced!"
Qian Jiang lifted his head, looking at Chen Zishi with surprise. Somehow, he felt as if he saw an illusion of Qin Mu in Chen Zishi. There was a bit of trepidation in his heart.
"This case indeed meets the standard for filing a case."
After brief consideration, Qian Jiang nodded and then turned to look at Chen Daoguang and the others. He said with a stern voice, "The other party is unwilling to forgive. Your behavior is very bad and suspected of serious illegal crimes. Come with us to the station for an investigation."
The actions of Chen Daoguang and the others had violated the laws against causing a public disturbance and illegal detention. What he hadn't expected was that Chen Daoguang and the others, released only three days ago, were causing trouble again. Moreover, they had perpetrated an act of illegal detention of an extremely malicious nature!
"Officer Qian, are you sure there's no mistake?" Chen Daoguang swallowed hard, trying to argue again. "How did we break the law? What disturbance did we cause? When did we illegally detain anyone? We have always been law-abiding citizens, just finding a place to chat..."
The others behind him also stepped forward, vociferously defending themselves. They persisted in attributing their behavior to merely sitting at the door and chatting, believing they hadn't gotten physical and were being very law-abiding.
"Not getting physical doesn't mean there was no illegal crime," Qian Jiang looked at the crowd and explained solemnly. "Gathering and causing a racket is the most obvious manifestation of creating a public disturbance, and illegal detention doesn't necessarily require getting physical!"
Immediately after, he turned and looked at a young police officer by his side. He said, "Xiao Wang, call the station and ask them to send a police van. Send two, because one might not be enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of Chen Daoguang and the others changed drastically. The seventy to eighty men all looked shocked and panicked. Some even thought about escaping in the confusion of the crowd.
The experienced Qian Jiang immediately bellowed, "I warn everyone here: the law enforcement recorder has captured all of you! Resisting the law with violence or evading punishment will only compound your offenses!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Daoguang's gathered relatives indeed dared not scatter. They stood dumbfounded, utterly at a loss.
「Half an hour later.」
NEE-NAW NEE-NAW—
Two police vans drove into Chen Family Village and came before everyone. The troublemakers, led by Chen Daoguang, were all loaded onto the vans. Qian Jiang also followed the police cars to the town police station to assist in recording statements.
The scene that unfolded outside the Chen family's door quickly spread, circulating throughout the entire village.
"Did you hear? Chen Daoguang and his whole family got arrested! They blocked Chen Qi's family, but the police took them away!"
"This time he just blocked a door, and I heard he's suspected of very serious crimes. I just don't know how long he'll be sentenced."
"It should be no different from last time, a lot of thunder and little rain. He'll probably be out in a couple of days."
"Anyway, it was too thrilling! They were taken away just like that..."
For a time, everyone in Chen Family Village was discussing the incident, all of them extremely shocked. This event was obviously much more sensational than the previous farmstay incident. Last time it was just police cars; this time, two large vans came. Seventy to eighty people were all taken away.
These people were all men, and every one of them was a relative of Chen Daoguang's family.
However, due to the previous farmstay incident, the uninformed villagers felt that the issue wouldn't escalate too much. Surely not everybody would be sentenced, right?
