Shi Meijun lay beside the old man and cried, calling "Dad" non-stop, while Lu Zhenfeng came over with an ugly expression.
"Captain, someone set fire and wanted to kill people!"
Zhou Aiguo's legs went weak and his voice trembled: "Who is it?"
Lu Zhenfeng shook his head, "I don't know, but Lu Heng has been chasing after me."
"Hey! Check to see if the old man is okay!" Zhou Aiguo tried his best to stay calm and looked at the people who were fighting the fire, "Jianbin, Jianbin!"
Zhou Jianbin came running over with a bucket of water in his hand. "Dad?"
"Hurry up and take people to look around to find out who is so vicious that he came to our village to set fire and kill people! Once you catch him, send him to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow morning!"
Zhou Jianbin said seriously, "I know, Dad."
He turned around and saw seven or eight strong men from the village following him.
A group of people holding torches began searching for the arsonist around the village.
Mr. Lu and others were helped to the nearest house, which was Qiao Qingqing's house.
When Zhou Aiguo saw Qiao Qingqing, he asked her privately, his tone anxious and puzzled: "Qiao Zhiqing, didn't you say you would let them have dinner at your house? Why were they all in the cowshed when the fire started?"
At this time, it had been less than half an hour since Mr. Lu and others left Qiao Qingqing's place, but the dining table in the house had been cleared.
The three members of the Lu family and the Tan couple were also reminded and agreed on their statements.
Qiao Qingqing looked regretful at the moment, and glanced in the direction of the main house from time to time, as if she was worried about the safety of the old man and her parents-in-law. "Captain, we have already eaten dinner last night. We drank some wine happily yesterday. I asked Lu Heng and mom to send people back home. Because grandpa is not feeling well, mom stayed there to take care of him. Lu Heng came here first."
"Unexpectedly, not long after Lu Heng got home, we discovered a fire in the cowshed. The three children at home couldn't be left alone, so I had to let Lu Heng go over alone to check on the situation... What happened? Why did the fire start for no reason? Captain, you know, they all came to my place to eat yesterday, it's impossible for them to start a fire..."
"Your father-in-law said that someone set the fire on purpose. I don't know the situation either. Now I've asked Jianbin to lead people to search. I hope we can find the arsonist..." Zhou Aiguo looked worried.
However, before long, Zhou Jianbin and others arrived in a mighty manner.
They also had an unconscious man in custody.
"Dad, everyone, the arsonist has been caught!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around.
"Who is this heartless person? Let me see!"
"Dad, it's..." Zhou Jianbin glanced at Qiao Qingqing, his eyes full of sympathy, "It's Qiao Chuan, the fourth son of the Qiao family from the Red Sun Brigade. When we were looking for him, Comrade Lu Heng had already caught him. The light was not good at night, and no one recognized him at first. In order to catch him, Comrade Lu Heng accidentally used too much force and broke both of his arms. In order to escape, this guy broke his legs and feet and knocked himself unconscious."
As the torchlight shone on the man, Qiao Chuan's dusty face appeared before everyone.
"It's really Qiao Chuan..." Zhou Aiguo was surprised at first, then his face darkened, with anger flashing in his eyes, "Great! The people of the Qiao family are simply too bold! Now they even dare to do things like murder and arson!"
Zhou Jianbin said hesitantly, "Dad, Qiao Chuan's leg is broken. Do you want to find someone to fix it for him?"
Zhou Aiguo sneered: "Why take it? A guy who committed murder and arson will go to jail tomorrow. Besides, he broke it by himself. What does it have to do with us? Just lock him up in the brigade headquarters and don't let him freeze to death."
