Tang Yunling thought, maybe he should ask his aunt Ye Hongmei whether the guy with a limp in their team has his own private plot in that valley.

If you ask clearly whether the brigade arranged for him to work there at that time, you will know the result.

I wonder if that person is secretly following Feng Shishi.

Just now when Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling came to the rabbit farm, Ye Hongmei was still in the clinic talking to Zhou Yueying and teasing the triplets.

Lu Baiwei learned the news from Tang Yunling and quickly took Tang Yunling back to the brigade clinic.

It just so happened that Ye Hongmei had been teasing the triplets from Lu Baiwei's family for a while. Seeing that Tang Yunling and Lu Baiwei had not returned, she planned to go to Tang Jinghe's house to say hello to her sister and then return to her own team.

As soon as she stood up, Tang Yunling and Lu Baiwei rushed back.

Afraid that Ye Hongmei would leave, Tang Yunling rushed over excitedly and almost knocked Ye Hongmei to the ground.

"You are such a rash kid, you are getting married."

Tang Yunling, panting, put his hand on Ye Hongmei's shoulder and pushed her back to sit.

"Aunt, Aunt, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

Ye Hongmei said she would not leave, and advised Tang Yunling to drink some water to calm down and speak slowly.

Tang Yunling evened out his breathing and grabbed Ye Hongmei's arm with an anxious look on his face.

"Aunt, does the guy surnamed Zhang in your team, the lame one who showed his yellow teeth when he smiled at Zhang Laizi, have any private plots in the valley where Feng Shishi had the accident?"

"That piece of land is far from our brigade, and no private plots were allocated to people."

Ye Hongmei thought for a moment and said, "There are a few plots of dry land there. Our team uses them to grow beans. Sometimes we send people to hoe the land there."

"Then Auntie, think carefully. When Liu Cuifang's baby was one month old, did the team arrange for Zhang Laizi to go to that field to hoe?"

“No!”

Ye Hongmei thought about it carefully.

Then he slapped his thigh and said, "I saw him once, wandering around my house."

"He even hid under my eaves and scared me."

Following Tang Yunling's train of thought, Ye Hongmei suddenly realized, "Oh, right, that day Feng Zhiqing came to the Zhao family to celebrate the full moon, and Zhang Laizi hid under the eaves of my house. Could he be keeping an eye on Feng Zhiqing?"

Ye Hongmei felt horrified at the thought of this.

The case of Feng Shishi's murder suddenly became clear, and Tang Yunling was extremely excited.

"Aunt, you stay here and help Weiwei take care of the children. I'm going to go find my dad."

"No, I'm going to the rabbit farm to find Zhou Yanfeng and He Ting."

In fact, Ye Hongmei recalled that on the day when the Zhao family held a full-month banquet, she saw Zhang Laizi wandering under the eaves of her house, but she did not associate that man with the murderer.

Because Zhang Laizi was a well-known honest man in the Red Flag Brigade.

Like Zhao Yongsen's family, the Zhang family also has an orphan and a widow living together.

Whenever there was a wedding or funeral in the team, they would ask him to help. Zhang Laizi was always the first to arrive, worked efficiently and didn't talk much.

The kids in the team laughed at his lame leg and picked up stones to throw at him, but Zhang Laizi just smiled and didn't get angry.

No one expected that such an honest man would be the murderer of Feng Shishi.

And he has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities.

At the Public Security Bureau, the commune learned that Li Ruicai was an officer of the Southern Army and took the murder of Feng Shishi very seriously. They even agreed to let Li Ruicai go to the Red Flag Brigade to participate in the arrest of the suspect.

The people from the Public Security Bureau, together with Li Ruicai and He Ting, rushed to the Hongqi Brigade and asked the brigade office to confirm whether Zhang Laizi had been arranged to go to the valley where the two brigades meet to hoe the fields on the day of Zhao Yongsen's full-month banquet.

Pretending nothing had happened, Zhang Laizi, who was working in the fields, got the news and ran away when he saw the people from the brigade and the police coming.

Passing by Zhao Yongsen's house, he saw Zhou Xiaohong taking her child outside to bask in the sun, so he picked up the baby in the cradle.

Hearing her mother-in-law's scream, Liu Cuifang came out of the house to make milk powder. Zhang Laizi held the child in one hand and held a sickle in the other hand, which he placed on Liu Cuifang's neck.

"You, let us go, what are you going to do?"

Seeing the police bringing Li Ruicai to surround them, Zhang Laizi grinned with his big yellow teeth and said viciously: "Shut up if you want to live."

"Now follow me into the mountains."

Liu Cuifang's legs were trembling.

Not only because Zhang Laizi had a knife at her neck, but she also saw Li Ruicai who appeared with the Public Security Bureau.

She couldn't imagine how the police found out about Zhang Laizi so quickly.

You should know that after she was bullied, she had been secretly investigating and suspected everyone in the educated youth site at that time, but no matter how hard she thought, she could not suspect the honest Zhang Laizi from the team.

It was obvious that Zhang Laizi was an inconspicuous person in the Red Flag Brigade, so how did he get discovered by the Public Security Bureau?

Things were beyond Liu Cuifang's imagination.

What she feared most now was not being coerced by Zhang Laizi, but that Zhang Laizi would betray her.

Seeing the police approaching with He Ting and Li Ruicai who were surrounding Zhang Laizi, Liu Cuifang, who was forced onto the mountain road, decided that she must not let Zhang Laizi get out of the mountain alive.

"You damned Zhang Laizi, let go of my daughter-in-law and my granddaughter."

Zhou Xiaohong screamed when the child was picked up, and became speechless when Liu Cuifang ran out and had a sickle on her neck.

If Liu Cuifang died, then her care during her confinement would have been in vain.

The child couldn't die either, because he was used to blackmail Liu Cuifang into taking her son to the city to eat commercial grain in the future.

Because the scene before her was too shocking, Zhou Xiaohong forgot to shout out loud.

When the police and the Red Flag Brigade's militia captain rushed onto the grounds of her house and were about to catch up with Zhang Laizi who was forcing Liu Cuifang, Zhou Xiaohong screamed as if she had come back to her senses.

"Li Ruicai, save me!"

With Zhang Laizi holding a sickle on her neck and listening to the baby crying, Liu Cuifang cried out tremblingly.

Li Ruicai had mixed feelings when facing Liu Cuifang.

It was her. It was all because of Liu Cuifang. His sweetheart was murdered.

But even though Liu Cuifang was guilty, the child held by the suspect was innocent.

After fighting with He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng, Li Rui woke up from a nap and followed the Public Security Bureau to the Red Flag Brigade to investigate and arrest people. Only then had he calmed down.

His sense of justice as a soldier made him unable to bear to see Liu Cuifang and her daughter die at the hands of the suspect Zhang Laizi.

The militia captain of the Red Flag Brigade was about to lead people from the Public Security Bureau to pounce on Zhang Laizi, and only then did Li Rui raise his hand to stop him.

"Wait, we have to think of a way."

Li Ruicai's sense of justice was overflowing: "My partner died at the hands of such a vicious person. I wanted to shoot him in the head, but I couldn't let innocent women and children get hurt."

"We have to let the suspect down and then take action against him while ensuring the safety of the hostages."

No one knew that Liu Cuifang's child was Zhang Laizi's.

The Public Security Bureau also thought so, believing that Zhang Laizi was taking innocent women and children in the group hostage in order to escape capture.
