Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang quickly grabbed Wang Hao, holding his arm tightly to restrain his movement.
Drag him out of the spotlight.
"Liu Guanggun, which of your dog eyes saw us go to Li Chengbin's house last night, and bring machetes, you son of a bitch..."
Even after being dragged away, Wang Hao continued to curse, but Xiao Dazhuang immediately covered his mouth.
Luo Shiliu slapped him hard on the head.
Li Chengbin is a dog who can't say anything nice. He's just making up lies and framing people. They want to beat him to death, but they have to consider the situation. There are ten uniformed strangers standing over there. If they had any connection with Li Chengbin, they would have been handcuffed on the spot.
Crying and screaming won't help then!
Being falsely accused of murder for no reason, not only did Wang Hao and Luo Shiliu want to beat him up, but Xiao Cheng's inherent violent tendencies also began to boil and surge, his deep, dark eyes instantly filled with ferocity and murderous aura.
Those ignorant fools.
Bai Lu had no doubt that if Xiao Cheng had a gun in hand, he would shoot Liu Guanggun dead.
But now is not the time to be angry.
Even without physical evidence but with witnesses, and even if the authenticity is questionable, Xiao Cheng and the others will still be taken away for questioning.
After all the twists and turns, we still can't escape our destiny from our past lives. This won't do!
"Officer, may I ask Liu Tiezhu a few questions?" Bai Lu asked politely.
The police officer in charge was about to ask Liu Tiezhu a few more questions to confirm his suspicions before taking Xiao Cheng and Luo Shiliu back for questioning and reporting back.
Bai Lu's words immediately interrupted his steps.
But she's just a young girl, and her other identity is Xiao Cheng's wife. The records show that she hasn't graduated from high school yet, so you probably won't get any information out of her. Besides, with so many people watching, she has no choice but to agree.
Liu Tiezhu was afraid of Xiao Cheng, but now Xiao Cheng was being held back by Bai Lu and couldn't cause him any harm.
What does Bailu, who only knows how to cook at home, know? At most, she'll just ask casually and go through the motions.
Liu Tiezhu felt no psychological burden whatsoever, nor did he need to prepare. He simply shrugged arrogantly and let her ask.
Bai Lu calmly asked, "You said you saw Xiao Cheng take Luo Shiliu and the others to Li Chengbin's house last night. As far as I know, you moved to the countryside a few days ago. Li Chengbin's house is by the river in Pingcheng, which is a long way away. How did you get to his house yesterday? Did you take a car or walk?"
Li Chengbin was not surprised at all that Bai Lu knew he lived in the city; after all, he was a businessman and he had money.
Everyone knew it, and Liu Tiezhu naturally knew it too.
Bai Lu is indeed too young; even her questions are so simplistic that he can answer them without hesitation.
"Take a car."
"You don't have a car. Were you riding a bicycle, a motorcycle, or a car? Who was the witness? Who was with you?" Bai Lu asked casually.
Liu Tiezhu had an expression that said, "I knew it."
He replied with a prepared statement: "The motorcyclist was passing through the countryside, and I wanted to go to the city for a stroll, so I gave him a ride. I wasn't with anyone, and I don't know the motorcyclist, so where am I supposed to find him as a witness?"
"So, you were just wandering around the countryside by yourself, and you happened to run into a motorcyclist who was going to the city. You happened to ride together to the city, and you happened to wander near Li Chengbin's house. You happened to see Xiao Cheng leading people inside, and you happened to see everything that happened inside. And coincidentally, there was no one else around at the time, only you saw it all?"
Bai Lu's words, spoken at an extremely fast pace and full of profound meaning, left Liu Tiezhu's mind in a complete mess.
He felt something was off, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he nodded naturally.
"That's right, that's exactly it!"
With so many coincidences happening at once, even a fool could tell something was wrong. Li Chengbin gripped the wheelchair handles tightly with both hands, glaring angrily at Liu Tiezhu with a look of utter disappointment.
The crowd looked at Liu Tiezhu as if he were a fool.
The simple-minded Liu Tiezhu was completely oblivious to anything amiss and maintained his confident expression.
Bai Lu then asked, "You said you saw Luo Shiliu and the others go in with knives and come out with knives. How long were the knives? What did they look like? Whose knife had blood on it?"
Liu Tiezhu had seen street thugs fight, and he had naturally seen machetes before: "A meter-long machete, and Luo Shiliu, Wang Hao and Xiao Dazhuang all had blood on their knives."
As soon as he said this...
Not to mention Wang Hao, even Xiao Dazhuang, an honest man who always only followed his older brother's orders, wanted to beat someone up.
Fortunately, Luo Shiliu grabbed one of them with each hand and pulled them along forcefully, saying, "Don't rush, don't rush, let's see how Sister Lu deals with that old bastard."
He was angry too, so he cursed in his local dialect.
Bai Lu glanced at Liu Tiezhu with a calm gaze, her expression a perfect blend of politeness and surprised doubt: "You saw Luo Shiliu and the others come out with blood-dripping knives, you heard gunshots, and you saw Xiao Cheng come out with a gun, yet you didn't call the police or help call an ambulance, right?"
Liu Tiezhu tried to deny it, saying that he did call the police and an ambulance, but that contradicted his earlier statement that he was the only one who saw the whole thing and there were no other witnesses.
I could only pretend to be scared: "I was so frightened that I didn't even realize I needed to call the police and an ambulance until I got home."
What a despicable person who would stand by and watch someone die!
The crowd's initially suspicious gazes instantly turned into piercing stares directed at Liu Tiezhu.
Bai Lu gave a meaningful "Oh," and then said, "So, you were so scared that you forgot to call the police or an ambulance, but you remembered to carefully and attentively check if Xiao Cheng had a gun, and if Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang had knives, and if every knife was dripping blood. In the middle of the night, in the dark, your eyesight is really good."
Liu Tiezhu opened his mouth, but was speechless.
The way people look at him as an idiot, as trash and scum, is enough to nail him to the pillar of shame.
“You keep asking these irrelevant questions, wasting the police officers’ time,” Li Chengbin suddenly said.
He tried to interrupt Bai Lu's train of thought and shut her up, because if she kept asking, Liu Tiezhu would eventually be unable to answer.
The police officer's gaze swept over Liu Tiezhu at the opportune moment.
Just as he was about to speak, Bai Lu, seemingly unaware of what was happening, preemptively asked Liu Tiezhu, "You said you saw Xiao Cheng taking a gun out of Li Chengbin's house last night, is that right?"
Liu Tiezhu replied, "Yes."
"Long spear or short spear? What color?" Bai Lu asked in her usual casual, nonchalant tone.
Liu Tiezhu hesitated and couldn't answer.
The town's residents included both new and old households. Liu Tiezhu's family was an old household; his ancestors had moved here long before he was born. As a result, although Liu Tiezhu was a hoodlum, he had seen street thugs fighting with machetes.
But I've never seen people actually fighting with guns.
Most of the Xiao family members in the small town moved here from the old rural village across the river decades ago. The old village had mountains, where there was game and the farmers had hunting rifles.
Liu Tiezhu had only been sent to the countryside for two or three days, so naturally he didn't know these things and couldn't answer them.
But with all his fiery, blade-like gazes fixed on him, he had no choice but to answer.
