Chapter 289 This is not your territory
Shang Ruoting always remembered that Lin Erniu had brought them food, but that didn't mean she would turn a blind eye to such things.
"You helped us when we were in trouble, and I appreciate that. I can help your family with other things, but I can't let you go for something as serious as arson."
Seeing Shang Ruoting's refusal to budge, Zhu Guixiang became anxious: "Shang Ruoting, I just came here for a stroll. Why do you have to tie me up?"
"Besides, this is not your territory, why can't I come?"
Seeing that Zhu Guixiang started to act up again, Shang Ruoting simply ignored her.
Twenty minutes later, several flames were faintly visible on the village road. Tan Chen, along with two team leaders and several villagers, came towards this side with torches.
The fire was getting closer and the vision was becoming clearer.
A villager holding a torch walked up to Shang Ruoting and Zhu Guixiang, shone it carefully, and turned back to say to Zhao Fa.
"Captain, it really is Zhu Guixiang."
Zhao Fa walked over first and looked at Zhu Guixiang, who was tied up and sitting on the ground, in the light of the fire.
"Zhu Guixiang, why didn't you stay home in the dark and come here to set fire?"
When Zhu Guixiang heard the word "arson", her body instinctively tensed up, and she immediately argued, "Captain, I'm innocent..."
"I just couldn't sleep, so I came here for a walk. How could I possibly set a fire?"
Seeing that she was still stubborn, Shang Ruoting took the torch from the villager next to her and shone it on the burned part of the greenhouse.
"Captain, look at what's burning here. If Tan Chen and I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the greenhouse would have burned down."
Everyone looked at the place where Shang Ruoting had illuminated it. Sure enough, a large area of the plastic there had been burned, and plump oyster mushrooms appeared in their sight.
Now, most people's attention was attracted by the oyster mushrooms, and they automatically ignored the burnt plastic.
"What's growing in here?"
"Looks like a mushroom."
"Impossible, mushrooms only grow in the mountains."
“…”
Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang had already seen the greenhouse in Shang Ruoting's house, but they were not as surprised as those people.
Deputy Captain Wang spoke to stop everyone: "Stop arguing. What other people grow is their business. It has nothing to do with you. We are here today to catch the arsonist."
I have to say that this shout was really effective. Everyone shut up, but they were all wondering what was being planted in the greenhouse.
Someone also went to deliver a letter to Yangmei, so she and Yangtao put on some clothes and ran over.
Seeing his greenhouse being burned down, Yang Tao rushed towards Zhu Guixiang like crazy.
"Zhu Guixiang, I'm going to fight you today. How did my family offend you? Why do you keep pestering me?"
The little girl even used all her strength to slam into Zhu Guixiang.
Zhu Guixiang's hands and feet were tied with hemp ropes and she couldn't move at all. She was really hit by Yang Tao.
She screamed in pain: "Ahhhhhhhhh... murder... Yang Tao killed someone..."
Yang Tao was not satisfied at all after bumping into her, so he stood up again and grabbed Zhu Guixiang's head.
Yangmei's reaction was not as quick as Yangtao's, but at this time she also knew that the arsonist was Zhu Guixiang.
She also pushed through the crowd and walked towards Zhu Guixiang, ready to beat her up with Yang Tao to vent her anger.
Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang were here, how could they possibly watch the two sisters fight?
Putting aside other things, Zhu Guixiang was caught on the spot by Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen for burning the greenhouse. This is solid evidence and the Yang family is right in this matter. But if they had beaten Zhu Guixiang, the matter would be a different matter. What's more, there are so many villagers watching here.
"stop!"
"stop!"
The two captains spoke out at the same time to stop the sisters' actions and brought people forward to pull them apart.
Yang Tao struggled desperately: "Let me go! This person has caused trouble for my family many times. I'm going to beat her to death today..."
Although Yang Mei didn't shout out like Yang Tao, she stared at Zhu Guixiang intently. If looks could kill, Zhu Guixiang would have died several times already...
Zhao Fa understood the two sisters' feelings at the moment, but he still stopped them, saying, "Don't be impulsive. If Zhu Guixiang really set the fire, Deputy Captain Wang and I will take care of it for you. If things don't work out, there's always the police station."
"If you two girls hurt someone, you will also be sued."
Yangmei is usually a soft-hearted person. If she hadn't been so angry today, she would never have fought with Zhu Guixiang like Yangtao did. Now, after hearing the captain's reminder, she regained some of her rationality.
She reached out and grabbed Yang Tao: "Taozi, we will listen to the captain and let him make the decision for us."
Yang Tao glared at Zhu Guixiang unwillingly, then stood aside with her elder sister.
