Seeing that he really couldn't squeeze out any useful information, Zhang Gongan closed the transcript and turned to the young police officer, saying, "Xiao Liu, notify the station immediately and prepare to arrest Wu Jinhua."

When Wu Sangui heard that they were going to arrest his sister, he immediately panicked, and the handcuffs clattered: "Comrade Public Security, my sister, she is just a woman..."

"Woman?" Zhang Gongan sneered, took out a brown paper file bag from the drawer, and slammed it on the table. "Do you know what a crime it is to spread nails on the road?

If a tractor driver fails to see clearly and falls into a ditch, or if a fertilizer truck has a flat tire and overturns on the road!

It won't be as simple as waiting in line at the counter. You two siblings can just wait to eat peanuts! "

"Let's go!" Zhang Gongan picked up Wu Sangui and said, "Take us to your house!"

Wu Sangui had a cramp in his calf and was carried out by two policemen.

When they passed the duty room, Old Xu was drinking hot water from an enamel pot. When he saw them coming out, he spat on the ground and said, "You wicked, smoking things!"

The police three-wheeled motorcycle was shaking violently on the dirt road.

Wu Sangui huddled in the truck bed, the scabs from his nose bleeding hurting from the cold wind.

Sporadic barking of dogs could be heard in the distance, and morning smoke began to rise from the chimneys of each household.

"It's, it's the one in front..." Wu Sangui pointed at the five red brick houses in the east of the village. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Sister! Run!"

Unfortunately, even when the police broke into the house, I didn’t get any response to this sentence!

It was just dawn and Wu Jinhua was still lying on the kang when the courtyard door was suddenly kicked open with a bang.

She hurriedly stood up and saw five or six police officers surrounding the entire room. She was immediately scared out of her wits.

Wu Jinhua feigned composure and shouted at the top of her lungs, "God damn it! Breaking into my house!"

Zhang Gongan shouted sternly, "Wu Jinhua! Your crime has been exposed!"

Wu Jinhua was about to argue when Zhang Gongan waved his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Liu brought in a short, cowering man from outside the door - it was her brother Wu Sangui, with a bruised face and nose, and it was obvious that he had been beaten.

As soon as Wu Sangui saw his sister, he immediately cried out with a sad face, "Sister! I confess everything! They even found Boss Xu, I can't deny it!"

When Wu Jinhua heard this, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

She suddenly picked up the enamel teacup on the kang and threw it at Wu Sangui: "You useless thing! You can't even do anything properly!"

The teacup slammed down on Wu Sangui's forehead, splashing hot water all over his face, causing him to scream in pain. Zhang Gongan grabbed Wu Jinhua and sternly shouted, "You dare to hit me?! Cuff me!"

Xiao Liu and another police officer rushed over, holding Wu Jinhua on either side, and the silver bracelets snapped onto her wrists. Wu Jinhua was completely panicked, screaming at the top of her lungs: "It's unfair, police comrades, I'm innocent..."

****

Wu Jinhua was handcuffed to an iron chair in the interrogation room. Her face was pale, but her mouth was as hard as a piece of iron.

Police officer Zhang placed her brother Wu Sangui's testimony on the table and said, "Wu Jinhua, your brother has confessed everything. What else do you have to say?"

Wu Jinhua stiffened her neck and said, "Whatever he says is true. I said I didn't do it, but you don't believe me. Why are you arresting me?"

"You're more courageous than Wu Sangui!" Zhang Gongan sneered. "Then tell me, where are the triangular nails you bought at Xuji yesterday?"

"I used it to patch up furniture, is that not okay?" Wu Jinhua's eyes darted around, and she suddenly slapped her thigh. "These triangle nails are everywhere on the street. Does that mean everyone who buys them is a murderer who spreads nails and harms others?"

Public Security Officer Zhang slammed the table and said, "Still trying to quibble! Your brother has confessed everything!"

When Wu Jinhua heard this, she immediately screamed at the top of her lungs: "That heartless bastard! You must have tortured him into confessing!"

I'm going to sue you! I, Wu Jinhua, am not someone who can be frightened... "

In the past two years, she has been doing business with Wu Quan from their family. She is no longer the kind of person who gets lost after being cheated a few times.

At this time, Xiao Liu pushed the door open and came in, holding a ledger: "Captain Zhang, I caught them at Wu Sangui's house. It records the date and location of each nail laying."

Wu Jinhua was completely stunned. What account book? But her mind raced, and soon she began to cry, "Comrades, police! I've been wronged!"

Tears welled up in her eyes. "It must have been my good-for-nothing brother! He's been doing nothing all day. Maybe he owed gambling debts and was ordered to do it..."

Zhang Gongan sneered: "Your brother said it was you who ordered it."

Wu Jinhua paused in her sobs, then rolled her eyes and began to howl again: "That heartless man! I'm his biological sister! He's trying to drag me down with him! I'm just a woman, how could I understand these things..."

Zhang Gongan found it amusing. "When the police came to your house, your brother was anxiously telling you to run away, but you, as his sister, betrayed him without hesitation!"
