After hearing Yuan Mengge's words, the system replied: "What's so difficult about that?"
Target A, Liu Wenbin, son of the mayor of Bailang Town, whose uncle is the county magistrate. He has committed numerous evil deeds, relying on his father and uncle's positions, and specifically bullies those from poor families. When his crimes are exposed, he gets his uncle and father to handle the situation.
Target B, Liu Wenfei, is Liu Wenbin's junior. He usually follows his cousin to do bad things when he has nothing to do.
Target C, Bai Miaomiao, a villager from Hongsi Village, Bailang Town, and Liu Wenbin's girlfriend, chose to follow Liu Wenbin in committing evil deeds for personal gain. Having committed murder before, she believed that if her actions were discovered, she could seek help from the town mayor.
After listening, Yuan Mengge said, "No wonder he's so arrogant."
The three people in front of her were still yelling at her.
The sound of Yuan Mengge kicking the door wasn't very loud, but the soundproofing here is poor; the sound could actually be heard throughout all three floors of the hotel.
Besides room 203 where Yuan Mengge and her group stayed, and room 205 where these people committed the crime, only one of the remaining rooms on the second floor was occupied.
There were several men playing cards in that room.
After hearing a loud bang outside, the group was stunned for a moment, wondering what the sound was.
But then there was no sound. After listening for a while, the group heard nothing more, only the sound of footsteps.
Curious as they were, they had no intention of getting up to look.
Then they faintly heard a girl crying, and the men started talking.
"I wonder which girl got raped again~ These girls watched people come to the hotel, and then they cried and whined, making it seem like they were being raped."
"She was so stupid to come to a hotel with a boy, who can she blame? Did she really not know that he brought her to the hotel because he wanted to do *that*? Who would spend that money to book a room and just sit on the bed and chat with her?"
"I can still hear crying, so as long as the person isn't dead, that's good."
As they chatted, they lost interest.
The card game in front of them was more attractive to them.
The people upstairs and downstairs heard the noise relatively quietly, and since it was late, they were either sleeping or dozing off.
The man lying on the recliner at the counter downstairs was the proprietress's younger brother. After hearing the commotion, he watched as Li Xue'e and the other woman ran out.
The proprietress's brother thought for a moment, then turned around and went upstairs to take a look.
But at this moment, Yuan Mengge had already closed the door and was tying people up inside.
So the man went up to take a look, but didn't see anything wrong, so he went up to the third floor to check, where it was even quieter.
After looking around and not seeing anything amiss, the man had no choice but to turn around, go downstairs, and continue lying down to sleep.
Yuan Mengge looked at the three people in front of her, pointed at the woman named Bai Miaomiao and scolded, "You are a woman, and you even help these two men to harm other girls. Don't you feel ashamed as a woman?"
Bai Miaomiao looked at her expressionlessly: "Is it any of your business?"
Yuan Mengge, filled with gossip, asked the system, "System, who did she kill? Why did she kill someone?"
System: [The deceased was 7 years old, the son of her neighbor. Due to a long-standing conflict between the two families, Bai Miaomiao lured the neighbor's son, who had been playing outside until late at night, to the fishpond, knocked him unconscious, and pushed him into the pond.]
Yuan Mengge asked Liao Ran, "Has the child's body been found?"
Not yet. The deceased is currently missing; the parents believe he was abducted.
Yuan Mengge sized up Bai Miaomiao and Liu Wenbin, wondering to herself, 'So, this man also knows she killed someone, right?'
He was indeed in the know.
Yuan Mengge turned to look at the girl on the bed and said, "I've sent someone to call the police. I can save you this once today, but not every time will someone save you like I did. If you think it's wrong of me to send someone to call the police, then just consider it me meddling in other people's business."
She didn't know what the girl's attitude was towards her helping her call the police, but based on her understanding of girls in this era, most girls wouldn't dare to call the police if they encountered something like this.
Many people might even blame her for calling the police; there are quite a few ungrateful wretches who don't understand the situation.
The difference in mindset is a barrier that many women still cannot overcome.
After hearing her words, the girl looked up, wiped away her tears, and then choked out, "Thank you. No matter what, you were trying to help me..."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mengge looked at her in surprise.
Um?
The girl crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes now clear. She looked around and said to Yuan Mengge, "Could you... help me pick up my clothes?"
As Yuan Mengge helped her pick up her clothes, she asked Hao Kuai curiously, "Do you know them? You didn't let them bring you here willingly, did you?"
The girl pulled the clothes under the blanket, shaking her head as she answered her question, "No... they got me drunk, she... is my cousin!"
As she spoke, she gave Bai Miaomiao a resentful look.
Yuan Mengge turned to look at Bai Miaomiao and said, "This is what it means to be vicious... You look so pretty on the outside, but your heart is rotten and stinking."
Liu Wenbin stared at her and said, "While I'm still reasonable, you'd better let me go! Do you know who I am?"
Yuan Mengge looked at him but didn't say anything.
There's no point in arguing with this kind of trash.
She looked at the girl and said, "The police haven't arrived yet. If you don't want to testify, you can leave now. But it's very dark outside, and it's dangerous for you to go back alone. It'll be safer for the police to take you home when they arrive."
Upon hearing this, the girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Yuan Mengge walked up to her, bent down and whispered something in her ear, then stepped back.
After hearing her words, the girl's eyes widened slightly as she looked at Bai Miaomiao in surprise, then she looked at Yuan Mengge uncertainly and asked, "Really?"
Yuan Mengge nodded, then raised her index finger to her lips, signaling her not to say it.
The girl turned her head to look at Bai Miaomiao, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
Bai Miaomiao stared at her as they whispered something, then noticed her cousin's strange expression. She frowned and asked, "What are you talking about? Are you talking badly about me?"
The girl pursed her lips.
Yuan Mengge sat cross-legged on the bed, her elbows resting on her knees, her palms supporting her cheeks, her fingers gently tapping her face, her gaze thoughtfully fixed on the three people.
This kid is the town mayor's son. The police will be here soon; I wonder how they'll handle them.
It's not that I don't believe in the police profession; similarly, regardless of the era, there are always countless cases of using connections to distort the truth.
Now that there are no cell phones or internet access, it's difficult to expose them.
I wonder what kind of person the police station chief of this town is.
