Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli had no intention of paying attention to this idiot and turned to leave.
The captain has already assured them that once the police arrive, they can tell them everything they need to know, and then they'll have to go home and pack up.
Zhou's eldest daughter-in-law was intimidated by Zhou Mingli's words. She cried and screamed, grabbing Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli and refusing to let them leave.
"Second brother, that's your older brother! How can you be so heartless? You have the same parents, and you two brothers have supported each other for so many years. How can you just abandon him like that? He's your own brother!"
Zhou Mingli shoved her away, saying, "When he sneaked into my house while I was away, he never thought I was his own brother!"
Not long after, Gui'an and his companion returned with the police.
When Zhou's eldest daughter-in-law saw the police, she collapsed and trembled all over.
She began to feel afraid.
Zhou's eldest daughter-in-law scrambled over to Zhou Mingli's side, pleading, "I'll give you money, I'll give you money! Second son's wife, please don't get your brother arrested, I beg you, your brother is all we have left, how can we survive without him!"
Zhou Mingli glanced coldly at Zhou Laoda's wife, "You should have known that Zhou Laoda was coming to my house a long time ago, why didn't you think of stopping him?"
"Now that they've gotten into trouble and are about to be arrested, they're begging for mercy? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Zhou Mingli pulled Jiang Ci away to another place, completely ignoring Zhou Laoda's wife. Zhou Laoda's wife was left isolated and helpless, crying and shouting, making a scene even more loudly than Qian Laohan.
Things become much easier once the police arrive.
"Who are Zhou Laoda and Li Hu? And Jiang Ci, Zhou Mingli!" The police had already been given a brief introduction to Zhou Mingli's family by Gui'an before they arrived, so they asked about this as soon as they got there.
The captain rushed over and said, "Boss Zhou and Li Hu are lying in bed! They've both passed out!"
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli came out. "Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli are us."
"They broke into the house to rob, but Jiang Ci locked them inside. When Jiang Ci called for backup, they went back inside and saw Li Hu beating up Boss Zhou?"
Jiang Ci nodded.
The neighbors who came with Jiang Ci to witness the whole process also nodded in agreement.
The police officer looked at Jiang Ci and said, "Tell me from the beginning, why didn't you notice when two people sneaked into your house?"
Jiang Ci then said, "After dinner, I took my two children to play at my neighbor's house, Sister Yu's house. My son and daughter really enjoyed playing with Dazhu and Erzhu, and even kept saying they wanted to sleep with them. Our two families are on good terms, so I didn't pay attention to them. I went back to tidy up and planned to bring them back after they fell asleep."
"But just as I finished washing up and went to the toilet, I suddenly heard a noise in my house. I was terrified. I eavesdropped and it sounded like someone was touching something. I knew I couldn't fight them off by myself, so I thought I'd lock them in my house to prevent them from escaping. They're thieves, and if they got away, they would definitely harm other neighbors. So I locked the doors and windows and went out to call the villagers to help catch the thieves."
"But to my surprise, when my fellow villagers and I returned to my home, we heard the sounds of a fight inside. When I opened the door, my neighbors and I saw Li Hu hitting Zhou Laoda with an iron rod. At that time, Zhou Laoda had already passed out."
Jiang Ci was telling the truth.
The neighbors had already heard Jiang Ci describe it once before, and it was a similar description, so they all nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ci was in such a state of confusion and disarray at the time that she seemed to have come up with a way to trap the thief without warning.
After listening to Jiang Ci's words, the two police officers who came did not say whether they believed it or not, but just nodded and said, "Take us to your house to have a look."
"good."
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli, along with the captain, took two police officers home.
Before leaving, the police officer specifically said, "Put these four injured people on a cart and take them to the town hospital."
We can't let anyone get into trouble in the countryside. People should be punished for their mistakes; we can't just let them die in vain.
As for the matter of Widow Wang and the others, it cannot be resolved in a short time. In short, let's save them first.
So some people organized to lift Li Hu, Zhou Laoda, Widow Wang, and Zhao Wei onto a cart and take them to the hospital under cover of night.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli's group also went home.
Xia Lei, who had taken the opportunity to slip out and witness the whole thing, frowned deeply as he looked in the direction where Li Hu had been pushed away, his mind seemingly lost in thought.
The mess at Jiang Ci's house was visible to the naked eye.
The police officer frowned deeply as soon as he entered the courtyard and looked into the house.
The room was a complete mess; everything was overturned and almost nothing was usable.
One of the police officers looked at Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli with pity and said, "Your family has also suffered."
Jiang Ci smiled bitterly, "What can we do? It's already a great blessing that we were able to arrest these two. At least people will be wary of them in the future."
That's the absolute truth.
The police officer nodded. "We understand the situation. After Boss Zhou and Li Hu wake up, we will continue to follow up on this matter. We will also find out their motives and give you justice."
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli expressed their gratitude.
After seeing the police out, Jiang Ci saw the captain follow them and communicate with the police.
Jiang Ci remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Zhou Mingli walked to her side. "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Ci countered, "Do you think the captain will tell Xia Lei about Li Hu?"
