Chapter 339 [(*^▽^*)]
Luo Qingzhou placed his masterpiece on the bed, letting her sit up and lean against the pillows, as if to let her rest there, while he himself lay down inside and closed his eyes to sleep.
The entire room fell into an endless silence. Even though Lin Leyou only saw this scene through the mechanical spider, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Niu Xiaohua carefully controlled the mechanical spider to slowly move it outwards. Fortunately, his eyes were closed, which relieved him of much psychological pressure.
Lin Leyou finally breathed a sigh of relief when the mechanical spider was moved outside the house and he could still see inside through the window.
A blue-grade mechanical spider is very difficult to obtain, and it's unknown whether it will be possible to participate in the Happy Community instance with other identities in the future and obtain such items again.
Anyway, he hasn't found the mechanical spider prop for sale in the market for a long time. Either the prop is unavailable, or anyone who has it has taken it for themselves.
To be honest, the mechanical spider is really useful; he can't stand losing even one of them.
If Niu Xiaohua dares to damage his mechanical spider, then he will definitely hang this female ghost up, whip her to death, beat her to death, and stab her to death... his ashes will be scattered!
Niu Xiaohua's situation has calmed down, but the atmosphere on Jiang Xiaming's side is still tense. Lin Leyou puts everything else aside for now and first see what the police here plan to do.
Lin Leyou placed three mechanical spiders here to monitor the situation from three different directions, finally getting a complete picture of what was happening.
There are probably about thirty police officers here. It should be all the police officers who were left in the village before. As expected of Jiang Xiaming, he has quite the presence.
Before long, the police began to figure out a way to get in. After all, in order not to be discovered by other villagers, they could not use a loudspeaker to shout, so they simply quietly found a window that could be opened.
The window in the first-floor restroom really could be opened. Two police officers wearing bulletproof vests climbed in through the window and then quietly opened the back door, letting the officers in.
Of course, a portion of the area was left outside to prevent Jiang Xiaming from escaping in another direction when they entered the house. However, the police who entered the house searched the house thoroughly, turning it upside down and looking through every corner, but they couldn't find Jiang Xiaming.
"What happened? We couldn't find him? This place is so small, where could he possibly be hiding?"
They searched the entire house, looking through all the cabinets, even under the bed and on the beams, but there was no sign of Jiang Xiaming.
"He escaped? How could he have escaped? Where did he escape from? There are our people all outside, how could he have escaped through a tunnel?"
After searching high and low, they actually found a tunnel.
When the police officers saw the opened tunnel entrance, two of them couldn't help but swear, "I knew it... there was definitely a tunnel, what do we do now?"
“What else can we do? Let’s go through this tunnel and see where the exit is. Then we can set up a checkpoint at the exit to find him. No matter what, Jiang Xiaming is too dangerous. We must arrest him first.”
Lin Leyou's mechanical spider was far away and only knew that the police had found the entrance to the tunnel, but he hadn't seen it. However, since the police said it was there, it must be there.
The police officers devised a plan overnight, selecting two officers to go through the tunnel and maintain constant contact. Once inside, the police found that the tunnel was extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time, and they had to crawl on the ground to move forward.
About thirty minutes into the tunnel, the two policemen discovered the first exit. Yes, the first exit, because the tunnel was not yet at the end.
When they opened the first exit, they found that it led to the foot of the mountain closest to Jiang Xiaming's house. There were some rocks piled up nearby, with sharp edges, and weeds grew all around.
Because if you're not careful, you might slip and fall, getting cut by rocks, so villagers generally avoid this area. Using it as an exit shows that Jiang Xiaming was quite cunning.
Other police officers quickly arrived, marked the exit, and set up a cordon around the area.
Since the tunnel had not been fully explored, the two policemen went back in from the location they had marked as Exit 1 and continued to explore further.
After exploring the entire tunnel, they discovered a total of five exits, each located in a place where no one would appear, and even very well concealed.
If they hadn't discovered us this time, we might have been exposed at any time.
All the police officers looked at the faintly bright sky. Two villagers had already gotten up early to work. At this point, there was no need to hide it anymore. After all, Jiang Xiaming had already escaped. If the truth was not told to the villagers, wouldn't they be ambushed if they encountered Jiang Xiaming outside?
The police quickly found the village chief, who then told the villagers about the incident.
As dawn broke, Lin Leyou quietly sent Xue Rui away. All the police officers had been busy searching for Jiang Xiaming the night before, and there were simply no extra people to look for Xue Rui.
This allowed Xue Rui to sleep peacefully through the night. When Xue Rui was taken away, most of the villagers outside were still asleep, so no one saw him leave his house.
Lin Leyou closed the back door and came out from the front. About ten minutes later, someone passed by the path in front of his house and saw him. They quickly called out, "Hey, Lin, come here quickly! The village chief said he has something very important to tell us, something very serious!"
He knew immediately that it must be about Jiang Xiaming. "Really? Then I'll come right now!"
He followed the man to the village square. By the time he arrived, almost everyone in the village had arrived. The village chief was the only one missing, but he didn't wait any longer. Anyway, everyone already knew. Those who didn't know later would find out after they all went back.
"Alright everyone, stop arguing. I called you all here because I have something very serious to tell you."
The village chief simply and clearly told everyone that Jiang Xiaming was the murderer of Huang Bing and had already fled, which immediately caused panic among the villagers.
Seeing everyone's reaction, the village chief couldn't help but shout, "What's the panic! There are so many police officers in the village. If he escaped, he must have fled to another place. How could he still be in the village?"
"I'm telling you all this so that if you have any news about him in the future, remember to inform the police officers immediately so they can help you catch the criminal. Do you understand?"
The villagers subconsciously glanced at the police still active in the village. There must have been over a hundred of them. They felt much more at ease. Yes, if they had killed someone and were discovered, with so many police in the village, they would have definitely fled. Why would they still stay in the village?
After everyone calmed down, the village chief gave a few more instructions and then dismissed everyone. Lin Leyou naturally followed him back, but before he had gone far, he saw Xue Rui's figure.
He was being held by his parents, who were very agitated. When they saw Xue Rui, they couldn't help but raise their voices, which attracted the attention of the villagers who were about to disperse.
Are you kidding me? How many villagers were gathered by the village chief? Almost the entire village is here, and they're all captivated by Xue Rui's family.
Everyone murmured among themselves, "What's going on?"
"Didn't they love their son the most? Why are they so irritable now? Are they going to hit the child?"
"Finally, he's going to get a beating. This kid is always so naughty. He's probably done something bad again."
"Has anyone else been pelted with mud?"
"No, I haven't heard anything about it. It's probably something else."
"What else could it be?"
"I heard it. It sounded like they were saying where the child went last night. Did the child run away from home last night?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Everyone in the village knew how much the couple doted on Xue Rui. What had happened to make their child run away from home?
The village chief quickly noticed the situation and rushed over. "What happened? What are you all doing here? Don't you have any work to do?"
The village chief squeezed to the middle and saw Xue Rui and the other two. "What's going on with you guys?"
Xue Rui still had a defiant expression, while his parents looked anxious and somewhat haggard. The three of them had no idea what was wrong.
Xue Rui spoke first, "It's not my room yet!"
Not only the village chief, but even the villagers who were watching the commotion were completely bewildered. What happened to the room?
The village chief instinctively asked, "What's going on with the room?"
Before his parents could even speak, Xue Rui blurted out, "My room is too small! It looks big from the outside, but it's tiny inside. Everyone else's room is much bigger than mine!"
It looks big from the outside, but it's very small inside. How can that be?
"Was this child's room partitioned off? Did you set up a small storage room?"
They all looked at Xue Rui's parents, who were covered in cold sweat and dared not speak, not even knowing how to explain themselves. Now things were really messed up.
Seeing their extremely guilty expressions, everyone knew there must be a problem, and if there was a problem, they definitely needed to go and check it out.
The village chief immediately made a decision, "Then let's go take a look. You don't have any objections, right?"
Xue Rui naturally had no objections and was quite welcoming, "Great! Everyone should go and take a look. I always thought my room was very big, but I didn't expect it..."
"I asked to change rooms and they weren't happy about it, and they even yelled at me! They've never yelled at me before, and they're yelling at me just because I want to change rooms. I don't understand at all!"
This statement shocked everyone. This couple, who had always given their child whatever he wanted since he was little, actually scolded him for changing rooms.
It's really suspicious; everyone's itching to do something, eager to try it out.
