Chapter 180 Turning the Tide Against All Odds, Growing Towards the Sun (8)
"Oh, so I have a motive for the crime? My losing the gun is my problem? You're framing me!"
"This is the first time I've met Gao Ya since I came to Ji'an. I didn't know her whole family before. What motive would I have for committing this crime!"
"Are you sure this is your first time?" Commander Liu asked, raising an eyebrow.
Luo Ning retorted without backing down, "Otherwise what? My activity range is... only the village. Where am I supposed to see Gao Ya? I know who she is!"
“According to our investigation, Gao Ya had been to Qing’an Village and was brutally beaten. At that time, you were still in the village and had not yet come to Jidu. According to the information she provided, her military officer’s ID card was lost in your village!” Commander Liu said slowly. Luo Ning, aren’t you a little too bold?
"..." Oh my, they even investigated this? Did they even investigate her childhood diaper-wetting incident?
Luo Ning silently complained, then turned her gaze away.
"I know nothing about this. I'm so busy in the village that I don't have time to meddle in other people's business. The people of Qing'an are simple and honest. It's very suspicious that a city person from another place would come to our village!"
She has no connection whatsoever with Qing'an Village, and her motives are clearly malicious, which is why the villagers cannot tolerate her.
Commander Liu, you don't know this, but according to our local custom, we generally don't start digging up people's ancestral graves.
The villagers usually resort to insults when they have a disagreement. Let me tell you, I'm the best insult fighter in our village. Whenever I step in, I'm guaranteed to dominate! I'm not bragging, but I've never lost a fight, and I've never lost an insult fight either…”
"Get to the point!" Yang Zheng slammed his fist on the table, cutting off Luo Ning's wildly imaginative ramblings.
“Oh, the important point!” Luo Ning nodded, readily agreeing.
"Gao Ya must have done something shameful or crossed someone else's bottom line to provoke the villagers to attack him. Losing a military officer's ID card is just absurd. In our village, people don't pick up lost items on the road, and doors are left unlocked at night. The local customs are excellent. Our village has the best public security in the whole province!"
Are you sure it wasn't because she offended you? Yang Zheng thought to himself.
Commander Liu glanced at Luo Ning and said, "Gao Ya said she went to the village to buy hair accessories and was extorted!"
Luo Ning's jaw nearly dropped to the ground when she heard "buy hair accessories," her eyes wide with disbelief.
“We do have hair accessories in our village, but they’re all wholesaled, okay? They’re sold in the market! And they’re not expensive! This excuse is too lame. Send it back and let Gao Ya think of something else.”
What could possibly motivate a high-ranking official's wife from a city thousands of miles away to trek to our impoverished village? This is a question worth pondering. You have no idea how bad the road to our village is; it's riddled with potholes and ruts, making it impossible for cars to drive in. The only options are horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, or walking.
She overcame all sorts of difficulties just to buy a tiny hair accessory—do you believe that? I certainly don't!
What do you mean by extortion? How could our honest and simple villagers do something like extortion? This is framing, this is setting someone up!
Buying and selling should always be fair and voluntary. To say that we were extorted after the deal was done is too cunning and utterly despicable.
Commander Liu, you believe Gao Ya's words without even confronting a villager?
All those elegant stories are lies. The stories about buying hair accessories, getting beaten up, and losing this or that certificate are all fake. If such things really happened, why didn't our local police station receive any reports? Even a three-year-old knows to call the police when you have a problem.
Who saw her enter the village? Did you see her, or did Commander Yang see her?
Isn't she a military medic? Why is she running around like that, sometimes covering over a thousand kilometers? Isn't anyone going to stop her?
"Luo Ning, stop rambling and explain your problem properly!" A loud voice interrupted Luo Ning.
Luo Ning's face darkened, and he turned to see a man with a pumpkin-shaped head moving in.
Holy crap, another monster has jumped out!
This pumpkin is asking for trouble; it shamelessly tries to squeeze into the flat pumpkin.
Okay, okay, this little fairy will grant his wish. Giving his wish is the best respect for life.
Luo Ning angrily pointed at the pumpkin, "Come on, repeat what you just said?"
"Tell me your story, don't make things up! Liu Chunsheng is family with you, and no one will care even if Gao Ya calls the police!" Wogua raised his voice eight octaves and snorted with a stern face.
"Commander Liu!" Luo Ning shouted, almost tearing the roof off.
"So you summoned me here today to have me confess something?"
"No, no, no such thing!" Commander Liu picked at his ear, his brows furrowed, glared at the pumpkin, and hurriedly explained.
"I just came here to get your explanation!"
"Oh!" Luo Ning nodded, turned to look at the Wogua, grabbed a big hat and quickly put it on the Wogua, whose big forehead was too eye-catching.
"You Japanese devil, are you trying to seize power?"
"You..." The pumpkin was so angry that it turned red in the face and its neck turned thick.
The hat was too big; he couldn't bear to wear it.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yang Zheng hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over!
"Comrade Luo Ning, let me introduce you. This is our regimental political commissar, Comrade Ni Yongsheng!"
"Oh, it grew out of the mud, huh? No wonder it looks so silly!" Luo Ning sneered.
"You, Luo Ning, don't go too far!" Ni Yongsheng's forehead veins bulged, as if they were about to pop out of his head to see the world.
"You idiot, how dare you say I'm being unreasonable!" Luo Ning slammed his hand on the desk, making the enamel mug shake a few times.
"First of all, if I have committed a crime, my superiors will naturally interrogate me. When did it become your place, you monster, to make me confess? Who do you think you are?"
Secondly, your superiors invited me here, and you're here to convict me? This is an attempt to seize power, a plot to rebel!
Ni Yongsheng's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his legs were trembling. He hurriedly looked at Commander Liu and explained, "Commander, I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought this girl was not honest, and I was in a hurry and my words were not appropriate. I... I really didn't mean anything by it. Besides, look at that girl, she gave me a nickname. She is insulting a comrade!"
“This girl? Ha…” Luo Ning glanced at Ni Yongsheng’s shoulder insignia, then took out his military officer’s ID and slammed it on the table.
"Ni Yongsheng, come over here and take a look. I guarantee it will blind your eyes!"
Ni Yongsheng didn't move his feet. He knew from Luo Ning's tone that things were going badly, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Yang Zheng and Commander Liu glanced sideways and were surprised to find that Luo Ning was actually a colonel.
Ni Yongsheng is a lieutenant colonel. This is going to be interesting, Yang Zheng thought to himself.
Suddenly realizing what I was thinking, I quickly banished those random thoughts from my mind.
"Ni Yongsheng, you disrespected me first. So what if I called you a pumpkin? You do look like a pumpkin. You walk around on the ground like a pumpkin that has come to life. What else could you be but a monster? I'm just stating the facts!" Luo Ning snorted coldly. Seeing the pumpkin, her Qilin Kick was about to flare up, and she wanted to kick him into the sky.
Ni Yongsheng jumped out and tried to condemn her outright. Does he even need to know which camp he's on?
According to the network of connections Ming has gathered, Gao Ming is now imprisoned, and Ma Jianguo is in dire straits himself. He is the only one left and is eager to come out, pin her down, and beat her to death.
Gao Ming was naturally released, and Ma Jianguo's matter was no longer a problem. He had worked hard and was promoted one rank, which was a happy scene for everyone.
Win her over, and happiness will follow. Amazing!
If it were someone else, they might have actually succeeded; today, Ni Wogua ran into Luo Ning.
Sorry, pumpkin, I'm going to slice you into pieces and stew you all together in one pot!
Luo Ning's unwillingness to give up made Commander Liu's head throb with pain and he glanced at Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng rushed out to smooth things over, hoping to de-escalate the situation. "Comrade Luo Ning, today's matter was a misunderstanding. Political Commissar Ni was just too anxious and didn't pay attention for a moment."
Luo Ning's face darkened further. He picked up the phone on the table, pressed a 0, spun it around, and then pressed another number...
