Previously, when Fan Qianfan Dazhu was mentioned, everyone only felt anger.

Now that the bandits have been captured and things have been sorted out, someone noticed something was amiss: "Strange, with all this commotion outside, why didn't any of his family members come out?"

"Not only Fan Qian's family, but not a single person from the Zhao family came out either!"

"The Sun family up ahead, what's going on?"

Their village is a mixed-surname village. The Zhao and Sun families settled there early and chose a location at the entrance of the village. However, these two families are honest and low-key and have always been the kind of people who work quietly in the village.

They are always the first to step forward in any situation, never resorting to trickery or deception. Given the nature of their families, they would definitely have come out to lend a hand tonight when the bandits caused such a commotion. Their absence is clearly abnormal.

A bad feeling rose in everyone's hearts, and they anxiously shouted, "Let's go! Let's split up and check the three houses!"

Most people went to find Fan Qian and Fan Dazhu to settle accounts, but they were much more enthusiastic about finding the Zhao and Sun families.

The crowd immediately split into three groups, each heading towards one of the three houses.

Shuiqing naturally went to her brother-in-law's house.

Beside her was Fan Jin, who had been so focused on catching the bandits that he hadn't thought much about life and death. Only now did he remember what he had seen through the night vision goggles: where could the bandits who had come in earlier hide so that they wouldn't be discovered?

It can only be one of these three families.

The two quickened their pace, followed by Li Wen and Li Wu carrying torches, as well as Xu Laoda, Fan Laosi, and Wang Laoba from the patrol team.

As the seven approached the main hall door, a strong smell of blood assaulted their senses!

The night was pitch black, and a cold wind blew from all around. Even though Li Wen, Li Wu and the others were tough men, they couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end and unconsciously slowed down.

"Ahhh~"

"You son of a bitch!"

The Zhao and Sun families next door were the first to let out bloodcurdling screams.

Fan Jin frowned, but instead of slowing down, he strode inside.

Shui Qing and the others followed.

The torches illuminated the scene in the main room, and everyone stood there stunned.

Blood was everywhere on the ground. Fan's mother lay in a pool of blood, and the rest of the people were all bound hand and foot with rags stuffed in their mouths.

Fan Qian's eyes were lifeless, Sun Jinhua's eyes were filled with fear and terror, Fan Dazhu, Erzhu, and Sanzhu were trembling and making muffled noises. All five of them were covered in blood, only Fan Sizhu was slightly better, leaning against the wall and weeping uncontrollably.

"Mother!" Fan Jin rushed over and picked up his mother, who was lying in a pool of blood.

Li Wen, Li Wu, Xu Laoda, and Wang Laoba quickly stepped forward to untie the people in the room and took out the rags from their mouths.

Wang Laoba wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just looked at Fan Jin's mother, who was being held by Fan Jin.

Mother Fan's head drooped, her raised hand pointing at Fan Qian, her eyes filled with resentment.

Fan Laosi and Fan Qian were from the same clan. Fan Laosi angrily kicked Fan Qian and cursed, "It's all your fault for being lazy! You've ruined Auntie's life, go and check on her right now!"

"I...I'm scared, I don't dare." Fan Qian held his head in his hands and shook his head desperately.

Despite the pain from his broken leg, Fan Dazhu argued, "It was those bandits who killed my grandmother, it has nothing to do with my father!"

Fan Laosi was furious and coldly questioned, "How could I forget you! Tonight, it was just you and your father on duty. If neither of you had been absent, would those bandits have been able to get in so easily? And so many of them at once?"
