Chapter 63: A life-or-death struggle



The two men looked at each other with ideas in their minds. The thin man suddenly fell to the ground, holding his stomach and howling.

The fat man beside him also reacted and hurried forward to support the thin man, a little anxious: "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! I only have you as my brother. We have depended on each other for so many years. What will I do if something happens to you?"

The thin man's face looked particularly ugly, and sweat kept coming out of his head. Finally, his face turned pale and he fainted.

The fat man carried the thin man on his back and was about to run out, but was stopped by the police guarding the door.

The fat man's face flushed red. "What do you mean? Don't you see my second brother is in this state? If anything happens to him, can you be responsible?"

The village chief was also frightened by the brothers' sudden movement, but when he saw the "unconscious" thin man's eyelashes trembling rapidly, he instantly understood something.

Anger instantly flashed through the village chief's mind. When so many people were checking every household, the thin man suddenly fainted. Isn't it a sign of guilt?

The fat brother and the thin brother are surnamed Wang. They are usually very brave, so it is normal for them to be like this.

The fat man over there was still arguing with the policeman guarding the gate. The village chief calmed down. He knew that in this situation he should protect the interests of the village.

Lu Jinghuai was clearly coming for their village.

If something really happens and they are caught, no one in their village will be able to escape.

The village chief also frowned and stepped forward to speak: "Comrade, these are two brothers from our village. Their parents passed away a few years ago, and they have been dependent on each other for many years."

"Now that one of them is in trouble, the other is inevitably a little anxious, but this is indeed an emergency. If something happens, it will be a matter of life and death."

The village chief spoke slowly and then continued.

"Look, the people in our village have been cooperating with your work. Now it's an emergency, and it's inevitable that you guys will hurt our feelings if you stop us like this."

The policeman guarding the gate hesitated for a moment. He subconsciously shifted his gaze to the fat man and the thin man. The fat man's face was full of anxiety, and the thin man had fainted. He was being held by the fat man and his facial expression could not be seen.

When he was hesitating about what to do, the door opened and Lu Jinghuai and the captain of the police team came out.

When the police captain was seen, the policeman guarding the door breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly called out to report.

"Captain, a comrade here has suddenly collapsed and needs to be taken to the hospital."

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the door, including the police captain and Lu Jinghuai. Lu Jinghuai looked at the fat man and the thin man, his eyes flickering slightly.

When registering just now, he took a quick look at the registration information and home addresses of these people.

He remembered the home addresses of the fat and thin brothers clearly, better than anyone else.

So before the police captain could speak, he suddenly spoke, speaking lightly.

"Suddenly fainting is indeed an emergency. Is there a medical clinic in the village?"

The village chief reacted immediately and responded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's just to the east. The two brothers can just go there."

Lu Jinghuai hummed a sound and looked at the police captain: "Many people in the village have been taken away for investigation. The brothers' sudden illness has really made things very chaotic. Let's send a police officer over to help."

The police captain seemed to think about it for a moment, nodded without hesitation, and then ordered the inspection of the people who had just stopped the two brothers in the yard.

"Follow these two comrades and help them if they need any help later."

The police officer who received the order stood at attention and saluted without any hesitation.

"Okay, Captain, I promise to complete the mission."

The fat man holding the thin man's face changed instantly, and the corners of his mouth became inexplicably stiff.

The policeman who was ordered did not notice anything unusual about the fat man, but was very enthusiastic instead.

"Comrade, let's get the patient to the infirmary quickly. If you can't hold him, let me hold your brother."

The fat man didn't respond for a long time, but the village chief glared at him and said, "What are you standing there for? Take the thin man to the infirmary."

The fat man finally reacted, and when he saw the dark face of the village chief, he silently shrank his neck.

"Okay, let's go now."

The fat man carried the thin man away, and a policeman followed closely behind them.

The village chief knew that things were probably not going well. The reaction of the fat man and the thin man probably meant that Lin Yan and Song Jingya were accomplices in their disappearance. Maybe the two women were still being locked up at home by the two men, otherwise why would they react like that?

The village chief cursed "idiot" under his breath and when he raised his eyes, his expression had returned to normal.

Lu Jinghuai and the police captain on the other side did not change their expressions. After the two of them came out, Xu Manyu also came out of the house. When she raised her eyes, she met the gaze of her husband Zhang Guodong and shrank her neck in fear.

The village chief continued tentatively, "Mr. Lu, police comrades, can we let these villagers who have completed the investigation go back first? It's the middle of the day, and we can't let everyone stand here hungry as punishment, right?"

Lu Jinghuai and the police captain looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and looked at the village chief, and Lu Jinghuai spoke first.

His tone was neither hurried nor slow: "Don't worry, Village Chief, the results will be out soon."

The village chief frowned, but held back and said nothing.

Lu Jinghuai suddenly spoke up again: "Where are the two families of the brothers who just left? How about we go to their homes and check on the situation?"

When the village chief heard this, his head skipped a beat and the taut nerves in his heart jumped.

The village chief smiled and said, "The two brothers are now in the infirmary. They haven't married or had children. There's no one at home. I'm afraid we won't be able to find anything if we go there."

"It doesn't matter if there's no one here. Let's go check out the situation first. We need to investigate anyway. Going early will help eliminate their suspicions so they can rest and recover. Don't you agree, Village Chief?"

The village chief had only a curse in his mind at this moment. Seeing Lu Jinghuai's reaction, he couldn't help but wonder if there were too many flaws in the brothers' performance just now, which made Lu Jinghuai see something?

However, facing the persistent Lu Jinghuai and the group of policemen behind him, the village chief did not dare to say anything too harsh in rejection.

The group decided to go to the fat man and the thin man's home first. On the way, the village chief was already thinking, if he found someone in the fat man and the thin man's home, how should he solve the problem?

He gritted his teeth and cursed. If the fat man and the thin man didn't know too much, he would have wanted to push them out directly after they did such a stupid thing.

But he was also afraid that the fat man and the thin man would end up in a desperate situation.
