A Murder Caused by a Hen

In Muyang County, there are many people with the surname Yang. There used to be a Yangjia Village, which was later divided into two villages for some reasons, called Shangyang Village and Xiayang Village. And because they all have the same surname, if you go back a few or a dozen generations, the people in the village can be considered as one family. For this reason, whether it is Shangyang Village or Xiayang Village, the villagers are very united, just like a big family. Once something happens, the whole village will often mobilize.

As the director of the Muyang County Public Security Bureau, Shi Changgeng was naturally quite familiar with the situation in Xiayang Village. So when he received a report that hundreds of people in Xiayang Village gathered together and besieged several outsiders, he felt that something was wrong. If things went wrong, it would be reported that a mass incident had occurred in Muyang County. If that happened, he might not be the only one to be unlucky. So, he quickly took his men to Xiayang Village to deal with the matter personally.

When Shi Changgeng arrived at Xiayang Village, he saw a very conspicuous luxury car. When he first saw it, he thought he was seeing things, but when he took a closer look, his heart sank. Oh my god, isn't this a Rolls-Royce Phantom? There are only a handful of people in China who can drive such a car. Who on earth is this big shot who actually came to such a place?

The situation is very chaotic now. At least hundreds of people are surrounding the car, so that it cannot move at all. If it really wants to move, it can only drive over the people. Some villagers are holding tools such as hoes, axes, and wooden sticks in their hands, as if they want to rush forward and smash the car.

At this moment, some policemen were trying to dissuade the villagers. They had arrived before Shi Changgeng received the news and had been dealing with the situation for half an hour. Unfortunately, after half an hour, they did not seem to have any effect. Instead, the villagers seemed to be getting more and more excited. Some people even rushed to the front of the car and picked up wooden sticks to smash the car. Unfortunately, none of them succeeded, because there were two men and two women guarding the car. These two men and two women were quite skilled and every villager who tried to approach the car was thrown away by them.

"Director Shi!" As soon as Shi Changgeng arrived here, the director of the local police station who was previously responsible for handling this matter immediately came to greet him.

"What's going on?" Shi Changgeng asked. He had to figure out the situation first before he knew how to deal with it.

The police station chief was quite helpless: "It was just a small matter. The car accidentally ran over a hen when it was driving on the road."

"That's all?" Shi Changgeng couldn't help but frown. "It's such a big deal. Why is it such a big deal?"

"It was all Ergou's fault." The police station chief was a little angry. "That guy saw that the man had money, so he wanted to blackmail him. It turned out that the man was not someone to be trifled with, so the matter got out of hand."

Er Gouzi's real name is Yang Erliang. He is idle all day long and often does sneaky things. However, this boy is quite smart. He never does sneaky things in his village. He calls everyone in the village uncles and aunts in a sweet way. So even though this boy is not a good guy, he has a good relationship with people in Xiayang Village.

The hen that was run over happened to belong to Yang Erjia and his family. When this guy saw the hen was run over, he immediately asked for compensation, and asked for one thousand yuan at the first moment. Although old hens are quite valuable these days and it is easy to sell one for a hundred yuan, one thousand yuan is really a bit exaggerated. Despite this, the driver gave him one thousand yuan without saying a word.

The matter should have ended there, but Yang Erliang saw that the other party was willing to pay and liked such a nice car, so he wanted to blackmail him. He took a thousand yuan and still refused to give up. He asked the other party to pay him compensation. His reason for asking for compensation was also sufficient, because the old hen that was run over could still lay eggs.

Yang Erliang claimed that the hen only cost one thousand yuan, but the hen laid eggs, and the eggs could turn into hens, and the hen could lay eggs again. If you calculated in this way, the eggs in the hen were priceless. Finally, he asked for a huge sum of money, one hundred thousand, and claimed that this was still a bargain.

"Isn't this kid just fooling around?" Shi Changgeng was a little annoyed. He was really not satisfied after getting the advantage.

"That's right. Although they are rich, they don't want to be blackmailed like this. So, in a rage, the other party threw Er Gouzi aside and drove away. As a result, the matter got out of hand. Er Gouzi just lay on the ground and said that he was run over by a car. The other party wanted to kill him. Then, the villagers all came. Now there are hundreds of people gathered." The director was a little helpless. "We have tried our best to persuade the villagers. We also discussed with the driver. The other party said that they would give a maximum of 10,000 yuan. But Er Gouzi relied on his large number of people to seize the other party's car. My goodness, this kid has a big appetite. I heard that the car is worth at least several million!"

"Okay, I'll handle it!" After Shi Changgeng figured out the basic situation, he walked over to the car and said loudly, "Everyone calm down first. I'm Shi Changgeng, the director of the County Public Security Bureau. I will definitely handle this matter impartially. Don't get excited, and don't take action!"

"Are you the Public Security Bureau Chief?" As soon as Shi Changgeng finished speaking, someone took over the conversation. It was a young man standing next to the car. "I said before that I would give you police officers half an hour. If you can't take these people away, then we will solve it ourselves. Now half an hour is up. I ask you for the last time, can you get these people to get out of the way?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"That's right, speaking to our Public Security Bureau Chief like this..."

"You're a foreigner, what's so great about that? If you don't leave your car here, don't even think about leaving..."

…

Some villagers were making a fuss, as if they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos. Of course, the one who made the biggest fuss was naturally the culprit Yang Erliang.

"Excuse me, who are you..." Shi Changgeng was a little unhappy. He was not used to being ordered like this. However, he could also guess that the other party's identity was unusual, so he resisted the urge to get angry.

"My name is Song Xiong!" The man looked at Shi Changgeng coldly, "We have already wasted several hours here. Our patience is limited. I will give you five more minutes. If you police still can't solve this matter, then we will solve it ourselves!"

Shi Changgeng was about to say something when his cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was Yun Qing calling. He said to Song Xiong, "Excuse me, I have to take the call first."

Shi Changgeng said this and walked aside to answer the phone, but he never expected that his action made Song Xiong mistakenly think that he was deliberately delaying time. Song Xiong, who had been impatient for a long time, was finally enraged.

"Get started!" Song Xiong shouted, and then screams were heard.
