Chapter 34: Is This Really "Husband Sings and Wife Follows"? (Vote Requested)

  "Big brother, Xia Qi and Xia Ba have gone in!"

  Not long after Niu Qi and Ma Ba were taken to the police station by Chu Tianfeng, Pi Wu's mobile phone rang.

  "What the...?!" Pi Wu cursed loudly.

  "I'm not clear either, I was on duty when I suddenly received an order from the 110 police report center saying that there was a fight in the Nancheng slum area and we had to go out and deal with it!" The speaker was surprisingly a policeman from the local police station.

  "Who's on trial now?" Pi Wu asked again, his eyes darting back and forth.

  "It's up to us to bring him to justice, big brother, what do you think we should do?"

  "No big deal, I'll give the director a call and try to bail them out!" Pi Wu hung up the phone and cursed in his heart: "Damn it, this kid Chu Tianfeng is quite gutsy, he actually dared to call the police!"

  Nancheng District Xinyang Police Station Director Chang Jiankuan is a hard nut to crack, Pi Wuhao has tried several times to buy him off but failed. This time his underling brother got caught by the other side, he had no choice but to use the superior's Deputy Bureau Chief to put pressure on him, otherwise this matter would be really difficult to handle.

  Chang Jiankuan had noticed a dark and evil force led by Pi Wu operating in the Nancheng District since he took office. Several times, he brought people to raid Pi's place, but they always returned empty-handed without finding any evidence of crime. Therefore, he suspected that someone around him was secretly informing Pi's family, but he didn't find any evidence either.

  Today, when Chu Tianfeng brought in two thugs, Chang Jian's heart also moved. Judging from their clothes and the weapons in their hands, it seemed to be Pi Jia's usual modus operandi.

  So, this time Chang Jiankuan decided to follow the vine and touch the melon, through a round of sudden review, to find a way to crack down on this evil force. He wouldn't believe in Niu Qi's one-sided claim of "mistaken identity". Whether or not it was mistaken identity, this all belongs to "premeditated harm", definitely having an ulterior motive that cannot be revealed.

  "You two kids better behave yourselves! Tell me, who's behind you?" Chang Jiankuan is over thirty years old, sharp and capable, with a pair of eyes as sharp as knives.

  "Officer, we've all said it, mistaken identity, haha, just messing around!" Niu Qi was still arguing with the police.

  "Recognize the wrong person?" Chang Jian asked with a cold smile: "Then who are you going to beat up?"

  "We didn't say we were going to hit anyone! We all said it was just a joke, but that little brat actually believed us and got us sent to the police station!" Cow Seven sighed.

  "Hey, Constable! If there aren't any other witnesses to prove we beat him up on purpose, I'm going to sue you for unlawful detention!" Ma Ba sneered.

  Chang Jian slapped the table fiercely and shouted loudly: "You two kids, be honest with me! Don't think I don't know your secrets. You can't fool me today, no way!"

  Suddenly, his phone rang.

  Chang Jiankuan was still using that brick-shaped mobile phone. When he saw the call coming in, he immediately said to the police officer next to him: "Little Song, you continue questioning, I'll go answer this call!"

  "Ah, Director, don't worry!" The policeman named Little Song nodded, but a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

  Chang Jiankuan walked out of the interrogation room with a big brother, and before he had even taken a step, Niu Qi and Ma Ba, those two little rascals, whispered: "Hey Song Ge, give us a cigarette!"

  "Heh heh, you're about to leave soon, what's with the cigarettes?" Little Song glanced outside the door and chuckled in a low voice. Although he said so, he still stood up, took two cigarettes, and handed them over to Niu Qi and Ma Ba, even lighting them up for the two of them.

  "What? Director Cheng, you want me to release him, why?" As soon as Chang Jiankuan heard that the head of the Nangang Branch Bureau, Cheng Bin, who was also his superior, told him to let the person go over the phone, he immediately became anxious.

  "It's just a common fight, the one who was beaten doesn't seem to be seriously injured. On the other hand, the attacker is slightly injured, I think that's it!" Cheng Bin said with a straight face.

  "Director Cheng, it can't be calculated like this! The motive of the murderer is unclear, I suspect that there are dark forces involved in this case, and we must investigate to the end." Chang Jiankuan insisted on his own views.

  "What do you mean by that? Since you became the director of this police station, every day you say there are evil forces in the jurisdiction, and every day you investigate, what have you found?" Cheng Bin said in a low voice.

  "Director Cheng, how did you know about this?" Chang Jiankuan expressed his inner doubts. This was too fast! The person had just been caught and the director already knew?

  "Could anything happen in my jurisdiction without me knowing? I'm the director of the Nancheng Branch Bureau!" Cheng Bin started to speak officiously, his tone becoming severe: "Comrade Chang Jiankuan, you should know that if there really is a dark force in your jurisdiction, as the director of this office, you also bear responsibility!"

  "Heh heh, Director Cheng, I know what responsibility I should take. As long as I'm a cop for one more day, I'll catch all these troublemakers!" Chang Jiankuan said with hatred.

  "Alas, Old Chang, it's not me saying this, but you shouldn't always put your energy into these trivial matters. Look at your jurisdiction, how many incidents have occurred recently? The residents of Hongyun Community, due to the issue of building a substation within the community, had conflicts with the property management and even gathered a group of people to sit in protest at the district government. What kind of mass work are you doing? Xinda Cable Factory, workers clashed with the factory over wage increases and blocked Xin Yang Street, causing traffic congestion in Nan Cheng District for an entire day. How did you do your job?" Cheng Bin fired off a barrage of words, thoroughly criticizing Chang Jiankuan.

  Chang Jiankuan had no choice, his small arm couldn't twist the big leg, and what Director Liu said was all hitting his weak points. For those "troubles" that happened in the past few days, he, as the police station chief, indeed bore some responsibility.

  "Make a record and let them go!" Chang Jiankuan returned to the interrogation room again, looking helpless as he spoke to Xiao Song.

  "It's already done, let's go." Little Song deliberately stared at Ni Qi Ma Ba with a fierce gaze and said loudly: "Let's go, what are you waiting for? Do you want to spend the night here?"

  "Haha, how dare we trouble Director Chang!" Niu Qi and Ma Ba stood up, grinned at Chang Jiankuan, and walked out of the police station with the accompaniment of Little Song.

  Chang Jiankuan gazed at their backs, his fists clenched tightly, gritting his teeth in hatred, secretly vowing: "This gang of troublemakers, I will definitely bring you to justice one day!"

  The next morning, Chu Tianfeng continued to go to school as usual, as if nothing had happened. In his heart, he was very clear that the opponent would not give up easily. The same sentence, come and go, water and soil cover! However, he felt that after reporting to the police yesterday, it should have some deterrent effect on the enemy, and it is estimated that nothing will happen in the short term.

  Chu Tianfeng was indeed correct, Pi Wu's action this time failed, and it is true that they will be quiet for a while, which is also an unavoidable thing. The director of the Xinyang Street Police Station, Chang Jiankuan, has been keeping an eye on the Pi family all along. Although the Pi family has a good relationship with the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, Cheng Bin, the county official is not as good as the current official. With a good director like Chang Jiankuan who is upright and uncorrupted, to some extent, it has indeed intimidated these evil forces.

  The monthly exam is approaching, and the learning atmosphere in the class is very strong. Even Gao Dali, who usually quarrels all day and wants to play football, has calmed down a lot these days and flips through books to prepare for the upcoming exam.

  Tension remains tense, but as soon as the exam is over in early June, the school will organize a suburban tour to let students relax, and classmates' motivation for learning is still sufficient.

  This is the last outing in high school, and once in high school, there will be no chance. Therefore, everyone is looking forward to this outing, and the school also attaches great importance to it. Several outing locations have been announced, and students are allowed to vote for their choices. This matter has been handed over to the life committee of each class to count.

  The life committee member of Class 2, Qin Xue, has been absent from school due to illness for the past few days. As a result, the task of voting on the destination for the outing was assigned to Lin Yajing, the study committee member.

  Lin Yajing brought over a few large sheets of white paper, and with the help of Chu Tianfeng, tore them into fifty-three small pieces representing the number of students present in class today. During self-study time, they were distributed to each student's hand.

  "Same table, Dalong Mountain, Yuquan Mountain, Fenghuang Mountain, which one do you choose?" Lin Yajing stared at the paper in her hand and asked Chu Tianfeng with a smile.

  "Fenghuang Mountain, who knows, maybe we can even see the phoenix!" Chu Tianfeng joked, then took a ballot from her small white hand and wrote "Fenghuang Mountain" on it.

  "Haha, what phoenix? You're really funny!" Lin Yajing smiled sweetly.

  "So where do you want to go?" Chu Tianfeng asked with a smile.

  "I haven't thought of anything either... just write something casually!" Lin Yajing's small face turned red, and her small hand wrote three words on the paper.

  Chu Tianfeng stole a glance, and she also wrote Fenghuang Mountain. In her heart, she secretly laughed: "Hehe, I wonder if she's been influenced by me? This is the legendary 'husband sings and wife follows'?"
