Chapter 904

After Li Xiuyu finished speaking, she took the lead and ran in the direction she had just pointed, and Wang An and the others didn't drive, but quickened their pace and followed one after another.

In a little while, everyone arrived at Li Xiuyu's second brother's house.

Actually, this Li surname of Li Xiuyu's family is said to be the same Li as the Li surname in Kaoshan Village.

The so-called same Li means that if you trace the roots, they might have the same ancestor, or their ancestors were brothers.

It's just that by now, who knows how many generations have passed; it can be said that there has long been no blood relationship.

But the Li surnames between these two villages indeed did not intermarry.

Li Xiuyu's three brothers were named Li Dashan, Li Dajiang, and Li Dahe.

Speaking of which, Li Dahe was even a classmate of Wang An, but they were not in the same class when they were in school, so they only knew each other and didn't have much contact.

At this time, Li Xiuyu's second brother's house, which was Li Dajiang's courtyard, was basically no different from Li Xiuyu's courtyard; it was a mess, and one could tell at a glance that it had been carefully searched.

When Wang An, Wang Li, Sun Nian, and two squadron leaders—a total of 5 people—entered the house, Li Xiuyu was hugging a woman of about 50 years old and crying.

If I'm not mistaken, this woman should be Li Xiuyu's mother.

And at the end of the kang, there was a young man with a cloth strip wrapped around his head lying halfway there, but the cloth strip on his head wasn't gauze, but a piece of cloth cut from old clothes, with quite a few patches on it.

It could be seen that in order to bandage his wound, a piece of clothing had been cut up.

Besides the wound bandaged on his head, the young man's entire face was bruised and swollen, and one could tell at a glance that he had been beaten, and beaten quite badly.

If Wang An wasn't mistaken, this young man should be Li Xiuyu's second brother, Li Dajiang, because as for Li Dahe, Wang An knew him, and for Li Dashan, he should be older.

Besides this, Wang An's classmate, Li Xiuyu's third brother Li Dahe, and another person who should be Li Xiuyu's eldest brother Li Dashan, were sitting on a stool on the ground with their heads down, not knowing what they were thinking.

However, if you looked carefully, you could find that the faces of these two were also bruised, and their clothes and pants were dirty.

One could tell at a glance that these two had been pressed to the ground and beaten, and beaten quite severely.

And behind these two brothers were three women, each carrying or holding several children.

These children, the oldest looked to be over ten years old, and the youngest was still in swaddling clothes.

Clearly, these three women were Li Xiuyu's three sisters-in-law, and these children were Li Xiuyu's nephews or nieces.

Just from the faces of these women and the clothes they were wearing, it wasn't hard to see that they were also implicated—to be precise, they were also beaten, but fortunately, it didn't look serious.

It must be said, this group of usurers was truly animalistic enough to be compared to the Japanese invaders.

After the 5 people scanned the room, Wang An just wanted to speak when he saw Sun Nian ask everyone in the room with a gloomy face:

"Where are they? When did they leave?"

At this moment, Sun Nian was about to explode with anger at the scene before her.

One must know that as a righteous police officer, in her view, protecting the lives and property of the people was the duty of their police.

But now such a frantic thing had happened, and yet no one had managed it until now.

Mainly because this was no longer just a simple debt collection; this was the behavior of bandits and bullies.

Because the four words "people die, debt ends" are the definition given by the law.

Furthermore, gambling is not legal in China, and debts owed at the gambling table are not recognized by the law at all.

Of course, no one lending money would allow the borrower to write the word "gambling" on the IOU, so some things are truly hard to define.

But no matter what, this group of usurers had truly gone too far.

Forcing Li Xiuyu's father to his death, wanting to forcibly seize Li Xiuyu, raiding Li Xiuyu's house, beating Li Xiuyu's family, etc. —are these things humans can do?

After Sun Nian finished asking, Li Xiuyu's three brothers just glanced at Sun Nian but didn't speak at all, as if they had become numb and had completely lost faith in the police officers wearing uniforms.

From this, it can be seen what the police officers in the township had done before to make the three brothers of the Li family have such an attitude toward all police officers.

Seeing no one answer, Sun Nian frowned and said anxiously:

"We are here to uphold justice for you, why don't you speak?"

At this time, one of the squadron leaders looked at the three brothers of Li Dashan and said:

"We don't know the ins and outs of the matter, so how can we solve the problem for you? Which one of you three is in charge? Speak."

It could be seen that this squadron leader had worked at the grassroots level and knew how to find the breakthrough point of the problem.

After this squadron leader finished speaking, Li Dashan was seen saying in a tone without a trace of emotion:

"Our family has no money left, and we can't pay it back. The debt was owed by my father; if you have the ability, go find my father."

After speaking, Li Dashan continued to lower his head and didn't speak.

As soon as Li Dashan's words came out, Wang An and Sun Nian and the other five people were all stunned for a moment.

Mainly because what the hell was this?

Furthermore, Li Dashan's father was clearly already dead, so what the hell was the point of finding his father?

However, Wang An quickly figured it out; among the people who came to Li Xiuyu's house to collect debts before, there might not have been only those usurers.

Most importantly, these people of the Li family didn't know until now what Wang An and Sun Nian came here for, and at the same time, they didn't know who Wang An and Sun Nian were here to help.

Wang An, who had figured it out, immediately shouted to Li Xiuyu, who had already cried into a tearful mess:

"Xiuyu, stop crying for a moment, damn it. You only know how to cry all day long; can't you see what's going on now?"

This sudden shout from Wang An immediately brought Li Xiuyu back to her senses.

It was just that Li Xiuyu's mother was still unconscious, as if she was going to see her old man at any time, so Li Xiuyu was truly too sad and didn't pay attention to what was happening around her.

Seeing Li Xiuyu's confused eyes, Wang An really wanted to slap her awake.

It was just that considering she was young and truly not very capable now, and she was with her family, which was why she was acting so useless, Wang An held back.
