Chapter 46 Little People

On the one hand, due to the background of Dai Xiaohua, on the other hand, the only witness, that is, the man who picked up the rags in the east of the city, disappeared. In this way, the case can only be dragged on indefinitely.

"Fengzi, I'm afraid we can only admit this matter. I'll ask about the the theft of calligraphy and painting tomorrow..."

After learning the background of Dai Xiaohua, Ye Dongping could only persuade Feng Kuang to admit his bad luck. As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. No matter how many brothers there are in Feng Kuang's family, it is not enough for the government to catch him.

But the matter of being beaten can be put aside, but Ye Dongping refused to stop the theft of calligraphy and painting, because those calligraphy and painting are not all his own.

In addition to the dozens of celebrity handwritings, even Wen Zhengming's "Landscape Game Map" was also sealed. Although it was the property of the acquisition station, it was not his own.

Ye Dongping himself bears a lot of responsibility for the loss of calligraphy and painting. If he doesn't have the strength to track it down, Ye Dongping will really have no face to see the old way in the future.

"Uncle Ye, it's okay for me to be beaten, but this thing has been stolen. Does the public security have to give an explanation?"

Seeing Ye Dongping sighing, Feng was a little anxious. The Wen Zhengming's "Landscape Game Map" was worth thousands of yuan, which was a huge sum of money at that time.

"Alas, what can I say? I heard that the county leaders asked for strict investigation of this matter, but the scene was destroyed, and the police found no evidence, so they had to drag it like this..."

Ye Dongping sighed. He went to the police station today and got all the bad news. Although he knew that the acquisition station was done by Dai Xiaohua and others, there was no evidence. There was nothing he could do about those people.

Moreover, Director Xu's attitude did not seem to be as resolute as a few days ago. He just said that if he received instructions from the leader, he would definitely solve the case.

But Ye Dongping knows that in general, cases involving a relatively large amount of money like this will be handed over to the criminal investigation department for investigation. Now it is still followed up by the police station, indicating that the leader's "emphasis" is probably limited.

"There's nothing I can do now, Fengzi, wait a few more days..."

Ye Dongping shook his head helplessly. No matter what age, human feelings... are always greater than the legal system.

After all, he was still young. He stood up and said angrily, "What if it doesn't end like this? No, I'm going to the police station to find them..."

"Fengzi, don't be impulsive, hey, Lao Wang, you're here..."

Ye Dongping didn't hold the seal. When he chased out of the yard, he found a man standing at the gate of the yard. When he looked carefully, he was a scavenger on the west side of the city and hurriedly said hello.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing?"

When Fengzi saw Lao Wang coming, he also stopped and looked behind Lao Wang. He couldn't help but be a little confused. Usually, when Lao Wang came, he always brought a lot of waste products. Why did he come here empty-handed today?

"Brother Fengzi, Comrade Ye, I... I..."

Lao Wang stood at the door and rubbed his hands uneasily. It seemed to be difficult to open his mouth. Even Ye Tian, the child, could see the embarrassed expression.

"Lao Wang, come on, come in and sit down and drink some water. Let's talk about it slowly..."

In the past, when Lao Wang came to sell waste products, Ye Dongping talked to him several times and knew that this man was a kind person. He sent him a few bottles of beer, and he sent the wine bottle back. At present, it must be difficult.

"Oh, no...no, Comrade Ye, I... I'll just say a few words and leave..."

Hearing Ye Dongping let him in and sit down, Lao Wang quickly waved his hand, and his face changed again and again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Fengzi, Comrade Ye, I'm afraid... I'm afraid in the future, I... I can't sell waste to you anymore..."

"What? Lao Wang, brother, I'm not sorry for you. You... How can you do this?"

As soon as Fengzi heard Lao Wang's words, he immediately blew up. He spent so much money on the rags in the west of the city. Isn't it for the waste they picked up every day?

And Lao Wang has great prestige among the people who pick up rags in the west of the city. If he says he won't sell it to himself, it is estimated that the rest of the people will not come. Such a loss is unbearable for the newly opened acquisition station.

"Brother Fengzi, I'm really... really sorry..." After hearing Feng's words, Lao Wang's face showed helplessness and shame.

"Aren't you called Mazi, but cheating?"

Feng was also confused. The aggrievedness of the past few days broke out at this moment. He rushed to Lao Wang's side one step and reached out to grab his collar.

"Fengzi, what are you doing? Go away..."

Ye Dongping stopped Fengzi's arm and said, "Lao Wang, come in first. Tell us what difficulties you have. Isn't it better for everyone to discuss and solve it together?"

"Ye...Comrade Ye, I...I can't help it..."

Hearing Ye Tian's heartwarming words, Lao Wang's tears came out of his eyes. He simply squatted on the ground and cried. "Yesterday, a group of people rushed to my house and beat my mother-in-law and children, saying that they were not allowed to sell the waste to you again. Brother Fengzi, Comrade "

Lao Wang is about the same age as Ye Dongping. He is a strong man. He is crying like a child at this moment. Obviously, what happened yesterday really scared him.

"What? Someone threatened you not to sell us?

After hearing Lao Wang's crying words, Ye Dongping and Feng was stunned. They didn't expect that it was such a thing.

Lao Wang wiped his tears, nodded his head and said, "Yes, those people said that if the waste is sold to you, it will cost the life of our family..."

To be honest, in the 1980s, picking up rags was very despised. Even children could be scolded a few words. Although Lao Wang and others had a lot of people, their blood had been worn out for a long time, and they did not dare to offend these local hooligans at all.

Seeing Lao Wang like this, Ye Dongping had no idea. After thinking for a long time, he said, "So... won't you report the case?"

After hearing Ye Dongping's words, Lao Wang shook his head bitterly and said, "Report the case? We don't even have an identity. Who will believe us..."

Lao Wang knows that these scavengers are relatively mobile, and they belong to the lowest level of the little people in every city. If they are really killed, as long as the body is not found, no one will know and care about it, so he has never thought of reporting the crime at all. .

"Brother Fengzi, Comrade Ye, I'm really... really sorry..."

Lao Wang stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Dongping and Fengzi. Despite the shouts of the two, he wiped his tears and left the acquisition station.

"This...what can I do about this?"

After Lao Wang left, Ye Dongping and Fengzi were completely dumbfounded. No one came to deliver waste, and the business could not be continued at all.
