The old village chief and Wei Mo's family lived quite far from the village, and their houses were built in a rather remote location.

When the captain arrived, the old man was having breakfast at Wei Mo's house.

He called out "Uncle Yu" a few times at the old village chief's door. The old village chief then carried Wei Mo out of Wei Mo's new house and angrily accused him.

"What are you yelling about? You scared my grandson! You'll pay for this!"

The captain didn't realize what he meant and quickly spoke up.

"Uncle, something terrible has happened. Zhao Haixia's house was set on fire yesterday. I was too embarrassed to contact you in the middle of the night. Today she came to me and said that Zhao Qingshan killed someone and set his house on fire."

Wei Mo and the old village chief were both stunned, the old village chief was a little incredulous.

"This? Are you serious?"

“Just now, she ran to my house naked. I have already arrested Zhao Qingshan from the educated youth settlement, and I also found the fish he stole in his dormitory.”

Wei Mo felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, knowing that the female educated youth in his family, along with himself and the old village chief, all had a grudge against Zhao Qingshan.

"Let's go check out Zhao Haixia's house first!"

After speaking, the old man wanted Wei Mo to go back, but Wei Mo held on tightly to the old man and wouldn't let go, so he had no choice but to take him with him.

After finishing their meal, Wang Zhenhua and the female educated youth also came out to check what was wrong and whether they could help.

You have to understand that there were no entertainment facilities at all in this era, and what everyone loved most was to join in the fun.

A group of people walked towards Zhao Haixia's house. After such a long time, the fire had completely died down, leaving only half of the charred earthen wall in the original location.

The captain went into the ruins to investigate. He almost fell as soon as he entered, and there was a hand bone stuck to his feet, still covered in oil.

"Everyone back off! You stay here and watch over things, sir. I'm going to the city to find the police! Someone died here yesterday!"

Someone died! Everyone who had been watching headed home; it was better to avoid such a spectacle and not get into trouble.

The captain headed towards the town. The old man wanted Wei Mo to leave as well, but Wei Mo stayed to keep the old man company. After all, such things were rare, and he was more interested in knowing Zhao Qingshan's final fate.

Not long after, Li Dazhuang arrived at the scene on a bicycle with Wang Bao, a police officer from the town.

"Did no one tamper with the scene?"

Wei Mo and the old man both shook their heads, but Li Dazhuang looked somewhat embarrassed.

“I went in once and found the hand bone.”

Wang Bao nodded, went inside to inspect the scene for a long time, and then came out and spoke to the captain.

"Take me to see the person who filed the report."

With Xu Meijuan's comfort, Zhao Haixia finally calmed down, but she just cried silently. Not only did she lose her house, but she might also be paraded through the streets and was now connected to a murder case.

Upon seeing the police officers brought by the captain, Zhao Haixia trembled uncontrollably and confessed everything clearly.

“Officer Wang, he’s a pitiful man. Now he’s lost not only his family, but also his house.”

Wang Bao nodded. The old village chief was a well-known good person in the town, and also a family member of a martyr. Wang Bao would naturally give the old village chief face and spoke to him.

"Uncle Yu, don't worry, I know how to handle this. Let's take her with us to see the suspect first! You can follow my instructions later."

The captain nodded and led the way. Wei Mo was afraid that the old man would get tired, so he stopped letting his grandfather carry him and instead held Grandpa Yu's hand and followed behind.

Zhao Qingshan has fully regained his senses and is now terrified because he faces the prospect of losing his life. Even if he doesn't admit to killing the person, he is still doomed! After all, he has committed the crime of hooliganism!

The only hope now is that Zhao Haixia values ​​her reputation and doesn't reveal the truth. As long as she insists she didn't kill anyone, then it won't be a capital offense.

Zhao Qingshan's hands and feet are now so tied that they're numb, and his mouth is gagged. He's completely helpless.

When he saw the captain and others come in, he knew he was done for. The captain went up and took the cloth out of Zhao Qingshan's mouth and began to question him.

However, Zhao Qingshan remained silent, so Wang Bao prepared to take him back to the station. But Zhao Qingshan was still naked, so he had the captain find him a tattered set of clothes to change him into.

Suddenly, Zhao Qingshan, whose hands and feet had been untied, sprang up and charged towards Zhao Haixia.

"I'll kill you, you filthy woman! If I die, you'll all be buried with me! And you old bastard, and this little brat too!"

Zhao Qingshan's sudden outburst caught everyone off guard. He rushed over and grabbed Zhao Haixia by the neck. He had completely gone mad, glaring at everyone present with hatred.

The old village chief quickly shielded his eldest grandson in his arms and retreated.

The captain tried to pull Zhao Qingshan away, even kicking him, but Zhao Qingshan refused to let go and laughed wildly.

"And that vile woman Li Xiuxiu, you all have to pay with your lives!"

Wang Bao kicked him, but Zhao Qingshan stubbornly refused to let go, so Wang Bao had no choice but to pull out his pistol.

"Bang!"

A bullet struck Zhao Qingshan directly in the temple. Due to the close proximity, blood splattered everywhere, and his originally fierce expression turned blank as he slowly fell to the side.

"Cough, cough,"

Zhao Haixia finally regained her breathing and was helped to sit up by Wang Bao. She began to gasp for air.

The old village chief pulled Wei Mo out of the room, refusing to let him go back in to watch. Zhao Qingshan had scared the old man half to death. He didn't care about himself, but what if Wei Mo got hurt?

The old man secretly cheered when Wang Bao fired the shot.

"The murderer has been killed. Captain Li, you'll come with me to the station to give a statement. As for you... well, that's up to your team to decide!"

Wang Bao spoke to the captain, then looked at Zhao Haixia, who was standing to the side, looking utterly dejected.

"Yes, Officer Wang!"

After the captain finished speaking, he helped Wang Bao carry Zhao Qingshan's body out, then fetched a cart and followed Wang Bao to transport Zhang Qingshan and Sui Guangyi's bodies back to the police station.

The old village chief sighed after they left. Zhao Qingshan had killed one person, but destroyed a family.

Sui Guangyi has a wife and daughter. He's such an honest person. Who would have thought he had a relationship with Zhao Haixia!

Although Zhao Haixia didn't kill Sui Guangyi, the fact that she cheated on him is no small matter.

It's estimated that a major meeting will be held today to resolve this matter. Zhao Haixia will suffer a lot more. Is she pitiful? Not at all. There's always a reason why someone is pitiful!

However, this was none of the old village chief's business anymore. He had already pleaded with Wang Bao for Zhao Haixia's life; otherwise, this matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily.

The old village chief, setting aside his worries, picked up his eldest grandson; now, all he could see was Wei Mo's family!

At most, we'd add a few female educated youth! After all, she's my daughter's sister, practically my daughter, practically family!
