Chapter 655: The Benefits of the Ghost Market

Secondly, they also wanted to see if they could obtain the authority to manage the ghost market in the future because this place was really too chaotic, and they were running out of steam.
The two figures in the crowd were especially eye-catching. One could instantly capture their location without looking carefully.
Li Hua walked closer and did not even ask clearly. He looked at the man kneeling on the ground and said sternly, “Tell me, what did you do?”
The man kneeling on the ground looked up in confusion. Why did this police officer convict him without even asking about what had happened?
However, the man still knelt on the ground with tears and snot. “Officer, 1 was looking at things there. This woman insisted on grabbing me and saying that i was a thief. In the end, she even beat me up!”
Li Hua’s face was filled with disbelief. His expression even became sterner because of the man’s words. “If you don’t tell the truth, I don’t mind using a little trick.”
When the man heard this, his eyes revealed a dark glint, but he still did not intend to admit it. “I’m telling the truth. Besides, why didn’t you, a police officer, ask clearly? You’re framing me without distinguishing right or wrong. Don’t you know to ask the others? The audience’s eyes are bright.”
The reason why the man said this was partly because most people in the ghost market did not want the police to interfere in their matters. Therefore, if they did not want the police to continue investigating this matter, the only way was to stand on his side and support him.
Moreover, some of the things he had stolen had already been taken back. Some of them had even taken advantage of the situation and taken a lot of good things. Therefore, how could they damage the long-term peace of the ghost market because of some small profits?
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, two or three voices spoke up for him in the crowd.
“That’s right. Officer, you can’t speak up for her just because she’s beautiful.”
“I didn’t expect this police officer to be someone who judges a book by its cover.”
“We all saw it clearly. The man didn’t do anything at all. It was just that girl who caused trouble for no reason.”
When the girl standing beside Gu Man heard this, she widened her eyes and looked at the crowd in disbelief. There were even a few stall owners who had been stolen, but they were all speaking up for the thief.
She felt that her worldview had been impacted. It was fine if these stall owners did not help her, but they actually helped thieves who stole their things. She could not understand it.
However, Gu Man looked at the people around her who were helping to speak up and could roughly guess their thoughts.
This time, she called the police partly because she wanted to find something for Ghost King Rakshasa to do. There had been no news from Boss Zhao, and because the people in the ghost market had been using endless methods recently, Rakshasa was very vigilant.
And the police intervention in the ghost market was a good opportunity to mess up the entire situation, so Rakshasa had no time to care much.
Although Li Hua had never come into contact with a case related to the ghost market, he had a deep understanding of the ghost market after all. He naturally understood those people’s thoughts.
Most of these people were selfish people. Only when their interests were affected could they show rare unity.
The moment they stepped into the ghost market, they had already touched their interests, so this group of people defended a thief without distinguishing between the facts.
The truth of the matter was already in front of them, but the police were particular about evidence and not based on subjective speculation.
It was not that there were no cameras in the ghost city, but would these people really agree to let the police retrieve the footage? Of course, the answer was no.
Therefore, this matter was very troublesome. It could even be said that it ended without doing anything.
Li Hua was unwilling, but he could not find the best solution. Just as he was at a loss, a clear voice sounded from the side, like a beam of light breaking through the darkness.
Gu Man waved the cell phone in her hand. “I’m sorry, I have a habit of recording at any time.. i wonder if this can be used as evidence?”
