Some were wearing coats, some were wearing slippers, and some were barefoot, as they hurried out of their homes.
Even the sleeping children were awakened, and they ran out naked, crying and shouting...
The originally quiet village became lively at this moment. The villagers began to gather in twos and threes. They naturally formed several small groups. Each group gathered together and discussed something in a buzzing voice.
"Did you hear that?"
“It’s so scary.”
At this moment, everyone has a different expression. Some people look serious, as if they are arguing about an important issue; some people are smiling, and chatting about some trivial matters in a relaxed manner; and some people are listening silently, occasionally interjecting a few words to express their own opinions.
"What happened?"
“It’s so scary.”
"How about we go and take a look?"
"This, this...if you all go, I'll go too."
For a moment, the village was filled with a tense and mysterious atmosphere.
Just then, a shrill car horn suddenly sounded at the entrance of the village.
The sound was like a sharp sword that cut through the tranquility of the night sky, making people feel alert.
At that moment, the chattering voices suddenly fell silent, as if time had frozen. Everyone's gazes converged towards the village entrance, their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation.
At this time, someone else said, "What's going on tonight? It's either ghosts screaming or cars honking. Is there really a ghost?"
Someone else asked, "Aunt Wang, do you want someone to invite you to perform a ritual to earn some pocket money?"
"That's not what I meant. I quit doing this a long time ago. I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously."
"Who would dare to do such a thing these days? If the commune knew about it, they would parade you through the streets."
"That's right, that's right. But what happened tonight is indeed a bit strange."
"What's so strange about this? Look, the jeep is here, and we'll have the answer soon."
Just as everyone was talking, there was a sudden "squeak" sound, and a jeep stopped steadily in front of everyone.
The car door opened, and the first person to get out was Zhao Lihan.
The villagers looked at him in surprise.
Someone whispered, "Zhao Lihan, isn't he a soldier? When did he arrive at the County Public Security Bureau?"
"You don't know this. He's a reconnaissance officer in the army. Look, he's helping the county public security bureau solve cases."
"You know that yourself?"
"This is confidential."
Then a few more people got out of the car. They looked serious, glanced at the villagers who were talking, and then hurriedly walked straight towards the threshing ground in the village.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding villagers turned around and followed these people curiously, wanting to find out what was going on.
Seeing that all the villagers had come out, Wang Xiaolan quickly put the electric baton in her hand back into the space.
The man on the ground was tied up with ropes.
At this time, Zhao Lihan led the police to the scene. The headlights of the car illuminated the entire ground. The villagers could then see clearly that the tied-up man was the one who carried the peddler's load during the day.
The crowd watching couldn't help but exclaim in amazement!
"Ah! How could it be him?"
"Seeing that he could make money and had such a sweet mouth, I originally wanted to introduce him to my niece from my mother's side. Fortunately, I didn't, otherwise it would have been a disaster for my mother's side."
"Sister-in-law Li, you, aren't you just trying to take advantage of him?"
At this moment, Zhao Lihan's expression was serious. He said, "Everyone, go back! Don't interfere with the police's investigation."
Several public security officers in uniforms and with serious expressions stood there, staring at the suspect who was tied up in front of them.
Their eyes were full of confusion and shock, and then they turned their gaze to Wang Xiaolan beside them with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
One of them asked, "Sister-in-law, was it really you who tied him up?" There was a hint of surprise and confusion in his voice.
Wang Xiaolan brushed off the dirt on her hands, rubbed them together, and said, "Yes."
"Is it really you?"
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
This was the man they had been dreaming of catching for years! Every time they were on the verge of capturing him, he would miraculously escape as if assisted by a god.
This left the pursuit team incredibly frustrated and furious! However, unexpectedly, this cunning criminal, who had repeatedly slipped past the police, was now effortlessly apprehended by a seemingly frail woman!
The public security comrade gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Great!"
Then he said loudly to Zhao Lihan: "Brother Zhao, my sister-in-law is awesome!!"
Zhao Lihan did not show much interest or surprise in the face of their endless praise. Instead, he showed an indifferent and slightly proud expression and nodded slightly in response.
Seeing that Zhao Lihan didn't express anything special, several people asked with some dissatisfaction, "Comrade Zhao, aren't you happy?"
His voice was a little hoarse, and he asked in a low voice: "Why should I be happy? This is so dangerous. If it was your daughter-in-law, what would you think? I care more about her safety."
As soon as he said this, everyone felt that he was right. Yes! This guy is very difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. When they thought of this, they gasped.
At this moment, Zhao Lihan was secretly proud in his heart: "This is nothing, my wife has even more powerful skills. Even if there are ten suspects like this, she can easily subdue them."
