Chapter 117 I will deeply reflect on my actions
"They say your family eats both meat and steamed rice, accusing you of being opportunistic. He Suo and his group may send someone to investigate at any time."
Qin Qiming breathed a sigh of relief, because he had ration coupons for all the grain he bought.
It is verifiable.
"Uncle Tian, don't worry, I bought all this grain through legitimate channels."
Village chief: "You wait at home. The police will be here soon. Don't be stubborn. You have to cooperate."
"I understand everything."
Sure enough, the village chief had just left when he ran into the deputy director and Tao He on the way.
The village chief was still a little worried, so he accompanied them up the mountainside.
The deputy director had Tao He take his statement.
After asking the questions, Tao He was sent to Qin Qiming's house for a thorough inspection.
After all the normal procedures were completed, the deputy director said, "Keep the statement notes safe. I need to have a private talk with Comrade Qiming."
Tao He: "Then I'll go out."
"Let's go." The deputy director waved his hand impatiently.
Only after Tao He left did the deputy director speak.
"Who does that idiot think he is? With his petty theft and despicable behavior, he dares to report Qiming?"
The village chief and Qin Qiming were both stunned and looked at the deputy director.
The deputy director said angrily, "That idiot was gloating all day, but today I visited several poor families, and they all said that he likes to steal chickens and dogs."
Qin Qiming finally understood.
The deputy director is to deal with Ma Ming.
That is, Ershazi's real name.
"Thank you, Deputy Director."
Fortunately, I have always acted cautiously.
I always buy only a small amount of food at a time, and then buy more when I run out.
He wouldn't hoard large quantities of grain at home like a speculator.
That would only get you reported.
Once they start investigating, it'll go on and on, and you'll definitely end up in jail.
Fortunately, Qin Qiming explained his purchase.
"You all proceed as usual, do what you're supposed to do. I've already caught that idiot!"
A group of people gathered in front of Ershazi's house.
Ma Ming, the simpleton, felt wronged as Tao He held his arm tightly.
Qin Qiming's home is located near the deep mountains, and if he escapes and hides in the mountains, it will be very difficult to find him.
That's why Tao He held his hand tightly to prevent him from escaping.
Ma Ming reported Qin Qiming for speculation and profiteering.
However, things did not develop as he expected.
During the investigation, Ma Ming's past petty theft was exposed.
These actions are enough to warrant a five- to fifteen-day jail sentence.
The deputy owner was determined to make things difficult for Ma Ming.
After all, Qin Qiming held an important position in the mixed-surname village.
They have made contributions to the villagers in various ways.
Therefore, the deputy director did not see anything wrong with Qin Qiming's behavior.
Even though he knew Qin Qiming had some problems, he simply asked him to write a report and that was it.
Because he believed that Qin Qiming would not do anything truly bad.
He also believed that protecting Qin Qiming's reputation and status was to protect his own authority and influence.
Ma Ming's report was naive, and the deputy director decided to put him in jail so he could reflect on his actions.
Ma Ming's family was furious, feeling that he shouldn't have reported Qin Qiming, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Ma Ming's wife, Lin Cui, was furious.
She couldn't understand why Ma Ming was doing this.
The mother-in-law then launched into a tirade of abuse.
"We don't know when they'll be able to get out."
The mother-in-law's eyes tightened instantly, and she asked, "Why do you say that?"
Lin Cui gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked out.
"That idiot revealed that he had also stolen twenty yuan from someone!"
"Oh my God!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Cui's mother rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
"That damn thing, it's like it's spilling beans, it's spewing everything out!"
Her voice trembled, filled with disappointment.
Sure enough, Ma Ming arrived at the police station.
Tao He interrogated him, trying to get him to tell the whole story.
Stealing twenty yuan in those days would have gotten you detained for at least two months!
Now look what happened. Ma Ming intended to report Qin Qiming, but ended up getting himself involved and facing detention.
His heart was filled with regret and helplessness.
Tao He came out with the interrogation results.
“Deputy Director, Ma Ming has been guilty of petty theft, which he himself confessed to.”
The deputy director flipped through the case file and nodded.
"Then detain him according to normal procedures and let him reflect on his actions. If his attitude is bad, then detain him for a few more days!"
Tao He inexplicably felt that the deputy director seemed to harbor some animosity towards Ma Ming.
"Make Ma Ming's prison food simple."
As Ma Ming listened to these conversations in his cell, his heart was filled with despair.
He knew that he had lost all his dignity.
The detention center was deathly silent at night.
The only sounds were Ma Ming's breathing and the occasional squeaking of mice.
He sat on the cold cement floor, a bowl of mushy soup in front of him.
A few vegetable leaves floated on the surface of the soup.
Ma Ming picked up the bowl and gently stirred it with a spoon.
The soup was so thin that you could almost see the bottom of the bowl.
He was so hungry that he could only drink the almost tasteless soup.
The person who delivered the food told him earlier.
"That's all for today. Don't expect anyone else to come tonight!"
Once the food delivery person left, darkness enveloped the surroundings.
Ma Ming was terrified, worried that something might suddenly appear in the darkness...
To shake off his unease, Ma Ming groped his way to a wooden plank bed and lay down, trying to calm himself down.
But suddenly a sharp pain shot through my stomach.
He couldn't help but let out a loud fart.
With no other option, I anxiously paced around in the dark until I finally found a wooden bucket in a corner, where I squatted down to relieve myself.
After resolving the issue, Ma Ming felt even more desperate.
Because of the thin soup and the upset stomach, I was even hungrier.
He had diarrhea for a long time, and didn't lie down to rest until midnight.
He tossed and turned on the wooden bed, unable to fall asleep.
The feeling of emptiness in the stomach and the general discomfort were quite unbearable.
Meanwhile, Ma Ming's character was the subject of much discussion throughout the village.
Some people say he is of bad character and is trying to slander Qin Qiming, an honest man in the village.
They reported to the village chief that Ma Ming had stolen things from their house.
The village chief listened and took notes on a piece of paper.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile played on his face.
It seems Ma Ming has a long time ahead of him in detention.
The village chief decided to go to the county himself to report these events to Taohe.
We hope to receive official support and assistance.
Upon hearing Village Chief Chen's report, Tao He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will submit my statement immediately and deal with this matter seriously."
The villagers were dissatisfied with Ma Ming because his behavior had seriously affected their daily lives.
He seemed to have an irresistible urge to steal.
The villagers deeply resented his actions.
They discussed privately that they hoped Ma Ming could be imprisoned so that he could correct his bad habits.
At the meeting, the village chief announced the punishment for Ma Ming.
"Ma Ming, you will spend two months in detention. Villagers have reported that you frequently steal; you must reflect on your actions!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Ming stammered, "I will reflect deeply on my actions."
