Village chief Yang spoke earnestly for a long time and only stopped when his mouth was dry.
Seeing that Yang Zhanqi had no reaction, he said angrily: "I am doing this for your sake. If you don't want to, forget it. Just pretend that I didn't say anything."
When Yang Zhanqi saw that he was angry, he sneered in his heart but looked flattering on the surface.
He pulled Village Chief Yang aside, but his fingers quietly reached into his pockets.
Looking at Village Chief Yang, he smiled bitterly and said, "Old Yang, I know you are good to me. Can you tell me how long we have known each other?
It’s been twenty years, I’ve known you since I was seventeen or eighteen.
You were not the village chief at that time. My mother was blind and my father was a gambler.
At that time, you were the only one who was nice to me, and that was also when I wholeheartedly helped you.
You didn't hesitate to murder your brother in order to become the village chief. Have you forgotten this?"
When Village Chief Yang heard this, his face suddenly changed and he pretended not to understand: "Zhanqi, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Yang Zhanqi was shocked when he saw the change in Village Chief Yang's expression. He sneered and lowered his voice: "Old Yang, there is no one here, why are you still hiding it?
In these years, you have become the village chief and have a wife and a child.
Unlike my wife, who has no children, what's the meaning of my life?
I helped you so much this time, but you turned against me and refused to acknowledge it.
Those brothers are still waiting for me to reimburse their medical expenses. If you don’t give me the money, you will force me into a desperate situation.
At worst, we'll both die together and I'll go to the police station and sue you for murdering your brother."
When Village Chief Yang heard this, his face suddenly changed: "Stop talking nonsense here. What evidence do you have to prove that I murdered my brother?"
Although Village Chief Yang denied it, the scene of that day emerged in his mind and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.
"Of course I saw it, otherwise how would I know about it?
I saw with my own eyes where you buried your brother, or let’s go check it out now!”
When Village Chief Yang heard this, his face turned pale.
Looking at Yang Zhanqi, a hint of viciousness flashed across his face.
But it soon disappeared.
Looking at Yang Zhanqi, a hint of flattery appeared on Village Chief Yang's face: "Zhanqi, we are brothers who have shared life and death together, why are you arguing with me about this?
It's just medical expenses, just wait and I'll get it for you later."
Yang Zhanqi sneered and nodded.
Village Chief Yang wanted to go back immediately.
Yang Zhanqi watched Village Chief Yang leave and was even more shocked. Village Chief Yang was so cruel that he murdered his own brother.
No wonder his brother disappeared so mysteriously that year. He also said that his brother went to do business.
When Yang Zhanqi thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder. He had been on good terms with such a person for so many years.
Yang Zhanqi couldn't help it and turned around to call the police, and handed the recorder to the police.
Just as that person had predicted, when Yang Zhanqi and the police arrived, Village Chief Yang was not at home.
"My husband went out as soon as he came back, and I don't know where he went! Comrade Gong'an, why are you looking for my husband? Is it because of the Xu family's affairs?" Village chief Yang's wife looked at the Gong'an curiously and asked.
The son of Village Chief Yang was even more excited. His mother said that his father had gone to settle accounts with the Xu family, and would give him another girl from the Xu family as his wife.
When he thought of the girl's beautiful appearance and good figure, Village Chief Yang's son was so happy.
Don't think he doesn't know that everyone in the village dislikes him and says behind his back that he can't get a wife.
If he could marry the girl from the Xu family, who is so pretty and cultured, everyone would be so jealous of him.
"Comrades from the Public Security Bureau, those people are too bad. You must punish them severely. They have beaten up all the people in our village." said the son of Village Chief Yang.
The public security officer frowned and said, "I came here this time because of the incident in which Village Chief Yang murdered his own brother."
When the public security comrade said this, Village Chief Yang's wife and son were stunned.
"What are you talking about? Murdering his brother? How is that possible?" Hasn't their Yang family been a single-line family for generations?
Why does his father have a younger brother?
Village Chief Yang’s wife was also shocked: “Comrade Public Security, you must have made a mistake.
My husband did have a younger brother, but he was disobedient and insisted on running out to do business.
He even fled abroad and now we don’t know whether he is dead or alive.
I'm afraid she's already dead. What does it have to do with my man?"
“We received a report that your man murdered his own brother.
We already have evidence, so we need to arrest him and conduct further investigation and interrogation." The public security officer looked serious.
The wife of the village chief Yang was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body could not help but stagger.
Her husband, with whom she had lived for decades, turned out to be a murderer, and he also murdered his own brother. How cruel must he be?
Village chief Yang’s son was even more furious, as his father actually killed his own brother.
Wouldn't he have to go to jail then? It would be recorded in his file that he has a murderer father, and his life would be over.
"Since he's not at home, let's look for him somewhere else."
Everyone immediately began to disperse to look for Village Chief Yang.
Yang Zhanqi found the village chief Yang first according to the place Huo Chen said: "Old Yang, what are you doing?"
When Village Chief Yang saw him coming, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, but he soon smiled and said, "Nothing. I hid some things here before, and I wanted to take them out today."
Yang Zhanqi moved closer to him with curiosity, stretched his head to look at the place he was digging, and became alert and prepared to attack.
Village chief Yang watched him approach here, and the shovel in his hand tightened instantly.
He raised his head suddenly and was about to hit someone with a shovel.
But he reacted a step too slow and was pushed into the deep pit that had just been dug by Yang Zhanqi.
Village Chief Yang's face was distorted with anger.
Yang Zhanqi, however, was filled with fear that the old man actually wanted to sneak attack him.
Fortunately, he acted faster than Lao Yang, otherwise he would have died here today.
"Zhanqi, what are you doing!" Village chief Yang suddenly looked panicked and was anxious to climb up.
Looking at Old Yang, Yang Zhanqi sneered, and when he saw the moment when Village Chief Yang was climbing up, he quickly pulled the shovel up from the side.
Holding the shovel, he was so ruthless that he stabbed Village Chief Yang in both hands.
As Village Chief Yang's miserable screams pierced the sky, the police immediately got a clue.
"Yang Zhanqi, I'm going to kill you." Village Chief Yang was in so much pain that tears came out of his eyes. He looked at Yang Zhanqi and shouted angrily.
Yang Zhanqi looked at the village chief Yang, and then he hit himself until there were traces of a fight on his body. He then cried out, "Murder has been committed, public security comrades, come quickly! The village chief of Yangjia Village is here, he is destroying the evidence, I saw it and he hit me, ah, murder has been committed."
The public security comrades who came to arrest Village Chief Yang heard the shouting and hurriedly ran towards Yang Zhanqi.
