Say you know each other?
She didn't know the person's name.
Say you don't know them?
She had saved herself and Little Fish twice.
Fang Yan didn't know for a moment, or should she say she knew him?
Still don't recognize me?
She simply stopped talking and quietly looked at the other person.
This time, Xu Zhimin was much more straightforward, giving Fang Yan a friendly smile, "Hello, my name is Xu Zhimin."
"Fang Yan." Fang Yan also gave her name in a very open and generous manner.
Her generous and proper attitude surprised Xu Zhimin, who raised an eyebrow. This woman didn't seem like a village woman who had never attended primary school.
Fang Yan noticed his raised eyebrow; he seemed a little surprised, but not frivolous.
She pretended not to see it, saying, "Your..."
She wanted to ask him if things at Lion's Roar Ridge were settled.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he remembered that he wasn't sure if he could ask this in public, so he became vague again.
Fortunately, Xu Zhimin understood her implication: "The matter over there has been completed."
"After returning to the county town, I heard about your situation. One day, I saw that old man surnamed Zhang and Fang Yaojin plotting against you. I wondered if this could help you, so I came to the police station and told the police officers here about the situation."
Actually, Xu Zhimin had been thinking of coming to the police station to talk about this matter since he overheard Grandpa Wei and Fang Yan talking on the way yesterday.
However, before he even reached the police station, he encountered Zhang Xiuying, who had come specifically to find him.
Zhang Xiuying is impulsive, and Xu Zhimin doesn't want her to see Xiaoyuzai yet.
Therefore, he could only accompany Zhang Xiuying to buy things first. It wasn't until last night that he had time to go out and go to the police station to tell them about the secret plot he had encountered with Fang Yaojin and Zhang Laowu at the foot of Lion Roar Ridge.
After Zhang Laowu returned from the county town yesterday, for reasons unknown, he went to tell Zhang Weicheng that Fang Yaojin had been arrested.
He didn't need to say much; just that one sentence was enough to scare Zhang Weicheng so much that he wanted to escape under the cover of night.
The second-in-command had already sent people to keep an eye on him in secret.
Yesterday afternoon, when the Zhang family began secretly preparing for Zhang Weicheng's escape, the people keeping watch discovered it and immediately contacted their colleagues at the police station.
Later, they received information from Xu Zhimin, and they also brought Zhang Laowu back to the institute.
Let's just send out a car.
And so, the scene that unfolded last night in the middle of the night, with police sirens blaring over Gouzi Village, came to be.
"With Comrade Xu's testimony, can we convict Zhang Laowu?"
Fang Yan got straight to the point, asking the question that concerned her most.
“From last night until now, Zhang Laowu has vehemently denied that he had conspired with Fang Yaojin at Lion Roar Ridge.”
The second-in-command pointed at Xu Zhimin, "That's why we invited Comrade Xu over today to debate with them."
When Xu Zhimin saw Zhang Laowu and Fang Yaojin, he didn't waste any words. He pointed to the back of their necks and said, "There are two small red bumps on the back of their necks, like mosquito bites. But that's the effect of the Red Peach Water. It's a mark I made on them with the Red Peach Water when they were plotting at the foot of Lion Roar Ridge."
Red Peach Water is a special potion that Xu Zhimin occasionally uses when he goes on missions, so he always carries it with him.
This medicine has a unique characteristic: when it first comes into contact with the skin, it causes both itching and pain, feeling like being bitten by a poisonous mosquito.
Once the itching and pain subside, it turns into a red bump. Touching it still causes a slight pain, but it won't completely disappear.
This will not disappear until after forty-nine days.
The second-in-command had someone pull open the collars of Zhang Laowu and Fang Yaojin, and sure enough, they saw two small red bumps on the back of their necks. At first glance, they looked like mosquito bites, but upon closer inspection, the difference was obvious.
"This is from a mosquito bite."
Fang Yaojin has already given up. Anyway, he has done so many bad things over the years, and once he is caught, his fate is predictable.
He admitted it from the beginning.
Old Zhang was still struggling in his death throes.
Xu Zhimin pulled out another small bottle from somewhere. "It's alright. We'll know if it's a mosquito bite once we try it."
"This potion is incompatible with the Red Peach Medicine. Just put a drop on that little red packet, and after it reacts with the ingredients of the Red Peach Medicine, the skin will turn blue."
Xu Zhimin said slowly, "Oh, this medicine and the red peach water themselves won't have any adverse effects on the skin. However, if they are mixed together, they will have a certain corrosive effect on the skin. The neck is an important area. If you're not careful, you might burn a hole in some important nerves. You'll be responsible for the consequences."
Old Zhang's face turned ashen, and he finally dared not grumble anymore, saying that the small red bump on the back of his neck was from a mosquito bite.
Back when he and Fang Yaojin were plotting to deal with Fang Yan at the foot of Lion Roar Ridge, he suddenly felt a strange pain in the back of his neck.
Because that kind of pain is completely different from being bitten by a mosquito.
At that time, he even wondered if the mosquitoes on Lion Roar Ridge were more poisonous.
He even asked Huang Hongmei to bring him some medicated oil, which he applied for many days.
Later, gradually, the itching and pain subsided, and he forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, at that time, someone was already targeting them!
"Fang Yaojin only told me about his plans; I wasn't involved in his affairs."
Although Zhang Laowu admitted that he and Fang Yaojin were on Lion Roar Ridge that night.
However, he denied that he and Fang Yaojin were in cahoots.
After some questioning, verification, and investigation, the second-hand officer regretfully told Fang Yan that there was too little evidence to convict Zhang Laowu.
Even with Xu Zhimin as a witness and his testimony, it can only prove that Zhang Laowu knew about the matter. Since he did not participate in the actual actions, it would be too difficult to convict him.
"However, he will inevitably have to stay inside and be educated for a few days."
Fortunately, Fang Yan had always known that Zhang Laowu was indeed too cautious in this matter, and it was probably very unlikely that she could get him imprisoned through this incident.
Otherwise, she would probably be greatly disappointed again this time.
As they left the police station, Xu Zhimin followed behind Fang Yan, looked at Xiao Yuzai, and suddenly asked, "Does your son look like his father?"
Upon hearing his question, Fang Yan realized that he was following behind her.
She turned around, bewildered by his nonsensical question, wondering why he had suddenly asked it.
She looked at him warily, and suddenly a thought popped into her mind...
