Chapter 356 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou was a little surprised when he saw the two people getting out of the police car. Wait, it seems reasonable to lock them up for two days. They have to pay for the damaged iron gate, and they didn't actually cause any real harm.
When they returned, Xue Rui hurriedly went to greet them, but he didn't have a good expression. After all, these two had already lost all credibility with Xue Rui.
When Xue Rui's parents saw him, they looked somewhat embarrassed, since they had always treated Xue Rui like a little treasure for the past eighteen years.
Especially recently, even after the matter had been exposed, they still ignored the child's feelings and chose Xiao Bao again, hurting the child's heart time and time again. Now they don't know how to face Xue Rui, but... many things cannot be solved by running away.
However, Xue Rui's current expression left them speechless. In the end, Xue Rui spoke first, "What are you doing standing here? So many people are watching the show. Let's go!"
Only then did they notice that people around them were looking at them, clearly there to watch the spectacle. Not wanting to embarrass themselves any further, they quickly returned home.
Xue Rui only saw them to the door and didn't go in. The couple didn't know how to persuade him to stay, so they could only stand there and watch him walk away.
Xue Rui took a detour before finally returning to Lin Leyou's house, looking rather downcast. Lin Leyou leaned over and asked, "What's wrong? Feeling unwell?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "No, it's just that we haven't finished the seventh task yet. Based on experience, there should be ten tasks in this round. Counting the seventh one, there are three more, making a total of four tasks. There are still eight days left, which means we have to complete one task every two days on average. I feel like the time is a bit tight."
Because it took them more than ten days to complete the sixth task, will they be able to complete the next task?
Lin Leyou said, "Don't worry, maybe there aren't even ten missions!"
Xue Rui: "That's true. Then let's just wait patiently. Since the mission is to stop the massacre from happening, the premise is that it should happen."
Lin Leyou said, "No need to rush, we've kept an eye on everything we need to!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Jiang Xiaming, whom the police still hadn't found. Two policemen had spoken about him in a very strange way before.
All entrances and exits to Jingu Village were blocked off, and all the surrounding towns issued notices for assistance in the investigation, but nothing was found. It was as if this person had vanished into thin air.
Several police officers suspected that Jiang Xiaming might not have left Jingu Village, but was hiding in a mountain near the village.
As for where it is hidden, they don't know either, because they have sent people to search every mountain carefully, and there is no trace of anyone living there, so they can't guess now.
Others may not know, but Lin Leyou is certain that Jiang Xiaming is within the vicinity of Jingu Village, only his hiding place is unknown.
Jiang Xiaming has a lot of items. Even if he can't use his weapons and items, or his talent, he still has a lot of other items. Even if he doesn't have many points left, he can still live a good life. At least he can hide himself well.
Time moved on peacefully, and there were still seven days, six days... five days left until the end of the month!
Tonight, Lin Leyou saw from the mechanical spider that Zhao Qiang was beating Zhou Wanwan exceptionally hard! It was completely different from the ferocity he displayed a few days ago!
Lin Leyou looked at the sky outside. It was already dark, with only a little bit of red sunset in the west, which he estimated would disappear completely in a few minutes.
He sat up, sounding somewhat hurried, "Xiao Rui!"
Xue Rui walked up to him, "Brother Lin, I've noticed it too, now..."
Lin Leyou put on her coat. "Let's go for a walk to digest our food!"
Xue Rui: "Okay! Let's set off now."
The two went outside, but instead of heading straight to Zhao Qiang's house, they took a detour, since they were out for a walk, and then slowly approached Zhao Qiang's house.
When they walked over, they found that there were already a few people scattered around.
"Hey, you two are out for a walk?"
Lin Leyou, "Yes, we came out for a walk, this is..."
From their vantage point, they could clearly hear the screams coming from Zhao Qiang's house. Zhou Wanwan's heart-wrenching screams and wails were accompanied by constant pleas for mercy and forgiveness, with her repeatedly insisting that it was all her fault.
"What else could it be? Zhao Qiang's wife is in such a terrible situation, but nobody dares to help her. This Zhao Qiang really dares to hit anyone!"
"That policeman..."
"Don't even mention it. Ever since Zhao Qiang came back, the police have been coming to his door almost every day to try and talk him out of it. He's learned his lesson and doesn't confront the police directly anymore. But every time the police leave, he finds a reason to beat his wife. The police know, but it's no use. His wife can't stand up on her own, so they never pursue the matter."
Lin Leyou: "But today seems a little different?"
"It's definitely different today. The screams were so terrible, so we were worried and went to keep an eye on things nearby, just in case something really happened..."
"Uncle, you're so kind. You must have been beaten by Zhao Qiang before, right? And Zhou Wanwan must have sided with Zhao Qiang and scolded you quite a bit, right?"
Upon hearing this, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! I'm a kind-hearted man and don't want anything to happen to them, but none of them appreciate it. They even said I was meddling, especially Zhao Qiang's wife, she's such an ingrate!"
"He's a real scoundrel. There were many times I really wanted to just give up and leave. If she gets beaten to death, it's her own death, what does it have to do with me? And Zhao Qiang, if he really kills someone, he'll be the one to pay with his life, it has nothing to do with me!"
The uncle got angry just talking about these things, and he really had to vent. He grabbed Lin Leyou and Xue Rui and poured out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui weren't annoyed at all; on the contrary, they felt sorry for the uncle. He was genuinely worried that something had happened to Zhao Qiang and the others. In the end, he even added, "That matchmaker back then was really amazing. Zhao Qiang and Zhou Wanwan were a perfect match, like a pot and its lid!"
"When the matchmaker came to propose, I overheard some of her words. She said that this girl and your Qiangzi were a match made in heaven, absolutely true! Looking back now, it's so true!"
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui exchanged a glance. They had to admit that the uncle was right. The matchmaker back then was indeed amazing. Whether it was Zhao Qiang or Zhou Wanwan, if they had been paired up with normal families, it would have been a disaster!
Xue Rui pursed his lips, about to say something, when suddenly there was silence in Zhao Qiang's house! It wasn't the kind of arguing and fighting that gradually subsided, but rather the kind that abruptly stopped.
The three of them immediately looked back. They stared at the gate of Zhao Qiang's house, which was completely silent. There wasn't a sound at all!
Lin Leyou checked the situation through the mechanical spider hiding inside. Zhou Wanwan was knocked unconscious. Zhao Qiang grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the toilet, where he used the showerhead to dredge her up with cold water.
Zhou Wanwan's face and neck are now covered with bruises... there's not a single good spot on any of her exposed skin.
"Uncle, could something have happened? I'll go check it out."
Lin Leyou quickly grabbed him, "It's okay, I heard the sound of flushing water, he probably fainted..."
The uncle said, "I'm still a little worried. Two people have already died in our village. If another one dies... I estimate that many young men's marriages will be affected."
Just as Lin Leyou was about to stop her, Zhou Wanwan's crying and begging voice came from inside the house again, but this time her voice was much weaker than before.
The uncle was slightly relieved, "As long as they're still alive..."
But the voice was also somewhat distressing, "Let's call the police. Even if Zhou Wanwan says she won't pursue the matter after he's been beaten like this, Zhao Qiang probably won't escape."
Lin Leyou blinked. If Zhao Qiang could be taken away for a few days, that would be a good thing for them, and the mission would be considered complete.
"Would it be useful to call the police now?"
"It will definitely work. Look, they came on their own."
Sure enough, they saw two policemen walking straight towards them. They had heard the woman's hoarse cries coming from Zhao Qiang's house, which had obviously been going on for some time.
Instead of knocking on the door immediately, they walked up to the three of them and asked them a few simple questions, which they answered truthfully.
Anyway, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui just met while out for a walk, and there was nothing else going on. After asking a few questions, the police went straight to Zhao Qiang's house.
As he walked, he kept saying things like, "I must catch him today."
As a result, the three of them watched as the police knocked on the door. Zhao Qiang opened it. He had originally thought that today would be the same as before, and as long as Zhou Wanwan said it was a family matter and had nothing to do with anyone else, he would be fine. But he didn't expect...
Zhou Wanwan was beaten so badly by him today that she couldn't process what was happening and was completely stunned. As a result, Zhao Qiang was taken away by the police, and Zhou Wanwan was naturally sent to the hospital.
Once the injury assessment is complete, Zhao Qiang might go to jail again. Even if Zhou Wanwan, the victim, pleads for leniency, the sentence will at most be reduced, and he won't be released directly.
Then the three of them saw the police call a police car and take both of them away separately. When Zhao Qiang was taken away, he was still yelling that they were meddling in his business and that it was his right to discipline his wife, and that they had no right to interfere.
No matter how much they cry out, they will eventually be taken away.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui glanced at their task subconsciously; it was still incomplete! Did they have to wait until they left the area of Jingu Village to complete it?
They waited for a while, and the police cars had been gone for a long time, but the mission was still not completed. Could it be that Zhao Qiang had already been arrested, but he still had the ability to go to the hospital and torture Zhou Wanwan to death?
Or rather... this mission doesn't refer to Zhou Wanwan, but to someone else!
