Chapter 918: Does It Count as Meritorious Service?

The squadron leader surnamed Zhou nodded upon hearing this and began to shout according to what Sun Nian said.

When the people inside the room heard this, obvious panic appeared. The person who had led the questioning of the gunmen before, also known as Er Touzi, said:

"Everyone, don't worry, search hard. If we don't find the IOUs, we won't be able to stay in jail peacefully."

When everyone heard this, they ignored the shouting outside and focused on searching for the IOUs.

From this, it can be seen what kind of deterrent these IOUs have for those who usually lend and collect debts.

At this time, someone muttered:

"If it weren't for those four idiots protecting Pixiu every day, I would have wanted to kill him long ago. Damn it, we're not even as good as the long-term laborers of the landlords in the early years."

The person next to him echoed while searching:

"Who says not? The money collected every day isn't enough to pay the interest. This damn life is truly cowardly."

Another person said with a moved face:

"I just want to know where Pixiu hid the money now, so that before we come out, we don't have to work hard to find money everywhere."

As soon as this person's words were finished, the whole room became silent, and greedy eyes appeared in almost everyone's eyes.

It's hard to imagine how much money Wei Cheng, who was as greedy as Pixiu, had scraped together by lending.

But it's certain that that sum of money in this era was definitely a real astronomical figure.

Soon, 3 minutes passed, and these loan sharks still hadn't found those so-called IOUs.

It must be admitted that Comrade Wei Cheng was truly too cunning; his confidentiality work was truly in place. So many people couldn't find those IOUs.

However, under the searching of a group of people, many small things that were worth a little money were found, just placed there, and the people in the room didn't even look at them.

Things like silver hairpins, silver bracelets, silver earrings, etc., from the early years, as well as many incomplete silver dollars and scattered silver ingots, etc. Of course, there were also many jade pendants, jade plaques, or agate bracelets that looked very good, etc.

These things, without exception, were collected when they were collecting debts.

It's just that in this era, although everyone knows these things are good things and have a certain value, in fact, few people will spend money to buy them.

The reason is simple: in this era when people can't even get enough to eat, these things are useless. Buying them is equivalent to having them stuck in your hands.

Didn't you see that even someone as shrewd as Wei Cheng just put these things there and didn't even look at them usually?

As for gold jewelry, these debt collectors actually didn't collect less, it's just that I don't know if they were sold by Wei Cheng or hidden somewhere.

After all, gold is always a hard currency. Although the price is not stable, this thing has always been very valuable.

Just as everyone was searching for the IOUs more and more anxiously, Captain Zhou outside began to count down.

Captain Zhou shouted loudly:

"People inside, listen up! You have 20 seconds left. Please come out immediately to cooperate with the investigation, otherwise, we will take forceful measures."

Immediately after, Captain Zhou continued to shout:

"You have 10 seconds left. Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

Before the number six was shouted, the people in the room couldn't hold on anymore. Er Touzi ran to the door quickly, lay on the door crack, and shouted outside:

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, absolutely don't shoot! We cooperate, I cooperate with everything."

Hearing the sound from the courtyard, whether it was Sun Nian or the group of police officers, they all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although shooting is their duty and vocation, in a situation where they don't have to kill, no one is willing to kill.

Watching people get shot to death by oneself, that mood is actually not easy to bear.

Immediately after, they saw this dozen or so people, led by Er Touzi, walking out of the room with their hands raised one after another.

And the group of police officers also ran into the courtyard under Sun Nian's order.

It must be said that many times humans are actually not as good as dogs, because from the moment Captain Zhou started shouting, the dogs in the courtyard started barking, and now that the people in the courtyard had surrendered, the dogs were barking even more fiercely.

Fortunately, the dogs were all tied with iron chains, so everyone ignored these dogs.

Just like that, in a very harmonious situation, these dozen or so people were all handcuffed by the police officers.

Unexpectedly, from the moment Wang An and Sun Nian and the others arrived at this place until now when they caught this group of people, except for Wang An firing one shot, the group of police officers didn't waste a single bullet, but the task was completed very satisfactorily.

To tell the truth, this feeling is still quite good.

After catching these people all harmoniously, Sun Nian led Wang An and Wang Li, as well as a few police officers, into the house.

Looking at the 8 corpses in the room and the various things turned upside down, Sun Nian and the others questioned one person on the spot.

It must be said that dealing with these people is quite worry-free; they don't hide or conceal anything, answering whatever is asked, and no means are needed at all.

But even so, to prevent this person from telling lies, Sun Nian and the others questioned another person after questioning this one.

Comparing the two, they found that neither of them lied, and what they said was exactly the same.

It was just that after understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Sun Nian and Wang An and the others were all stunned; mainly, they didn't know what to say.

Finally, Wang An asked this person in disbelief:

"In other words, you all shot your boss together?"

This person said very calmly:

"There's no other way. We wanted to surrender, but his four bodyguards wouldn't let us, and insisted that we take guns and fight a battle with you. Can we do that? No matter what, we can't go against the government, right? You say, is that right? Then we didn't do it, they wanted to kill us, then, then we shot them to death."

Pausing, this kid didn't forget to ask:

"Then what, officer, does this count as meritorious service? Can it be said, like, reduce the sentence by two days or something?"

Subconsciously, Wang An said:

"In your situation, it should count. How did that regulation say it? It's called effectively preventing..."

It was just that as soon as he said this, Wang An stopped abruptly, because Wang An suddenly realized that many things cannot be said randomly.

Therefore, Wang An looked at Sun Nian with a smirk on his face.
