The officers worked silently and efficiently, their camera flashes frequently going off inside the cave.
Officer Wang carefully placed the deadly dagger into an evidence bag; the bloodstains on the blade appeared dark brown under the strong light.
"Team Leader Li."
Old Chen took off his gloves.
"The wound on the deceased's ear was already severely infected; even if he hadn't been killed, he wouldn't have survived much longer."
Officer Li nodded and took out his walkie-talkie.
"Support team, a male corpse has been found. A stretcher and shroud are needed. The location is in a cave on the east side of Houshan Mountain. Repeat, cave on the east side of Houshan Mountain."
Soon, two police officers carried a stretcher into the cave, and the group placed San'er's body on the stretcher and covered it with a white sheet.
Let's go.
Officer Li took one last look at the cave.
"Go back and keep a close eye on those beasts, don't let them have a chance to collude."
When Officer Li led his officers back to the scene of the arrest, the sight before him made him gasp in shock.
At this moment, Zhao Dashan was leading a group of villagers, punching and kicking the eldest and second eldest brothers who were handcuffed.
The police officers who remained tried to stop them, but they were simply no match for the overwhelming force of the villagers.
"Kill these beasts!"
"Damn it, you bunch of bastards, you dare to bully my Xiaoyan?"
"Xiaoyan was almost violated by them!"
...
Shouts rose and fell, and the scene was completely out of control.
Officer Li saw Zhao Dashan's wife holding their daughter and crying bitterly. Zhao Xiaoyan's clothes were disheveled, and her face was covered with tear stains and bruises, clearly indicating that she had experienced unimaginable fear.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Police officer Li drew his pistol and fired a warning shot into the air.
A loud bang brought the chaotic crowd to a temporary silence.
In that split second, Officer Li noticed a familiar figure.
Su Jianguo, at this moment, was mixed in with the crowd, punching and kicking the eldest and second eldest brothers.
After everyone stopped fighting.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Jianguo raised his foot and kicked the boss's crotch with precision and ruthlessness, then kicked down hard with all his might.
"ah!!"
The leader let out a scream that was not human, his body curled up like a shrimp, his face instantly turned from red to white, and cold sweat poured down his face.
His hands were cuffed behind his back, leaving him unable to protect his vital organs, and he could only writhe in agony on the ground.
Su Jianguo didn't stop; he turned around and did the same thing to the second son.
With a powerful kick, the sound of something shattering could be faintly heard.
The second son's eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and he fainted.
Seeing Officer Li arrive with his men, Su Jianguo quickly blended into the crowd.
"Everyone, stand back!"
Officer Li shouted sternly.
"These suspects will be brought to justice; no one is allowed to resort to vigilante justice!"
The other officers quickly stepped forward and took the three Zhang brothers away.
The eldest and second eldest brothers had already lost consciousness from the pain, and faint traces of blood were seeping from their groins.
The fourth brother trembled the whole time, and his crotch was soaked.
I don't know if I was scared out of my wits or relieved that I didn't get that fatal kick.
Soon, Su Jianguo followed the police, carrying the three Zhang brothers, Old Mrs. Zhang, and the youngest brother's body back to the police station.
In the police station's interrogation room.
Grandma Zhang trembled and huddled in the chair.
Her triangular eyes darted around, glancing at the one-way mirror every now and then.
"Grandma, is there anything else you want to say?"
Officer Li tapped on the table, his tone very serious.
"Officer, I'm innocent!"
Grandma Zhang suddenly slapped her thigh and started wailing, tears streaming down her face.
"Those beasts forced me into this! What could an old woman like me do? They stabbed me with a knife, robbed me of my money, and even kidnapped Xiaoyan. I wasn't involved in any of these things. You can't falsely accuse an old woman like me..."
"Old Chen, bring the Zhang brothers in."
Officer Li spoke into the walkie-talkie.
A few minutes later, two policemen escorted the eldest and second eldest brothers into the interrogation room.
The eldest brother had a bandage wrapped around his wrist.
He was bitten by a police dog while trying to escape capture.
The second child was deathly pale, and his legs were unnaturally spread apart when he walked.
Clearly, Su Jianguo's kick had caused him a lot of trouble.
"Auntie!"
The eldest brother roared at the sight of Old Mrs. Zhang, and he almost lunged at her if the police hadn't held him down.
"You old geezer, you dare to push all the responsibility onto us?"
Grandma Zhang was so frightened that she shrank back, but then straightened her back.
"What? Did I say something wrong? You weren't the one who stabbed me? You weren't the one who stole the money? You weren't the one who kidnapped Xiaoyan?"
"Bullshit!"
The second son struggled to rush forward, but was held down by the police again.
"If it weren't for your terrible idea and the money you gave us, would we have gone to beat up that idiot? Now that something's happened, you want to wash your hands of it? Let me tell you, no way! Officer, I confess, it was this old lady who gave us money to beat up that idiot!"
"Quiet down!"
Officer Li slammed his hand on the table.
"Old lady, do you admit that you instructed them to cause trouble at No. 42 Chang'an Street?"
Old Mrs. Zhang was a little scared, but she still tried to argue her way out of it.
"I...I just let them stay for a few days, who knew they would be so ruthless..."
"Auntie!"
The eldest brother gritted his teeth and said.
"You clearly said you were going to kick that idiot out, and that you'd cover for him if he got crippled! Now you want us to beat him up and dump him on the street."
Mrs. Zhang immediately denied it outright.
Just as the two sides started arguing again.
