After listening to her words, the old man also felt that there was some truth to them.
These drug addicts really do lose their humanity when they're in the throes of addiction; they're capable of killing for money.
He was about to leave, but then turned back to look at Yuan Mengge with some concern: "Are you sure you'll be alright on your own? What if he breaks free and hurts you when he wakes up?"
Yuan Mengge said, "It's alright, his leg is injured now, he can't beat me. Grandpa, you should go call the police quickly, I'll tie him to this tree here so he can't escape."
Grandpa then hurriedly ran down the mountain, and it took him more than ten minutes to reach the village. He ran to the small shop at the village entrance and knocked on the door.
At this time, the shop owners are all closed and asleep.
"Chao! Chao, open the door! Call me!"
The boss had just taken a nap when he was woken up. He opened the door, saw it was him, and asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter so late?"
The old man said hurriedly, "Quick, quick, call me! Someone's trying to steal my cow! I need to call the police!"
Upon hearing the man say that someone had stolen a cow, the boss immediately asked, "What? Then...where's the cow? Was the cow stolen?"
The old man said, "Not yet, but we caught the cow thief and are going to call the police! And we heard that he's a murderer!"
Upon hearing this, the boss was startled and immediately said, "Call the police! Call the police!"
As he spoke, he turned and ran to find the phone, then dialed the emergency number written on the wall.
After receiving the report, the police quickly arrived on motorcycles.
Meanwhile, the boss and the old man had already called the villagers, who split into two groups: one group waited for the police at the village entrance, while the other group ran to the old man's mountain to keep a close watch on the cattle thief.
When the old man and the villagers arrived at the mountain, they found the cattle thief tied tightly to a tree, but the person who had helped the old man catch the thief was nowhere to be found.
The old man looked puzzled: "Huh? Where's that young man?"
The villagers asked him in confusion, "What young man?"
The old man said, "Oh, it's the guy who helped me catch this criminal. He was wearing a hat and a mask... Just when this criminal was about to stab me, he suddenly rushed out and kicked the criminal away, which is why I'm able to stand here alive and talk to you now."
When talking about the person who helped him wearing a hat and mask, he gestured to his own head and face.
He then added, "Otherwise, do you think an old man like me could possibly defeat such a strong thief?"
The villagers looked at the man who had stolen the cow; he was indeed young and strong.
The two men were indeed very different in size, and the thief had a history of committing many bad deeds, while the old man was just an ordinary old man and definitely couldn't beat him.
"So that's how it is... No wonder... This kid has so much blood on his leg, he must have been slashed with a knife, right?" The villager noticed that one of the cattle thief's legs was wet, and the color of his black pants couldn't be seen. He touched it and then saw that his hands were also red.
The old man said, "The young man was afraid he would run away, so he used his knife to stab him in the leg to restrict his movement."
As he spoke, he looked around again and said, "That's strange, where did he go? I thought he would be here to keep an eye on this thief for me..."
After the police arrived, they checked the identity of the cattle thief and took him back to the police station for interrogation.
"What are you planning to do with the money you got from stealing and selling the cattle?" the policeman asked the cattle thief.
The cattle thief was initially unwilling to speak and simply remained silent.
It wasn't until later, when she experienced drug withdrawal, her mind broke down, and she lost her will, that she revealed the truth.
Cattle thief: "Take it to buy more..."
Police: "What kind of goods are you buying?"
Cattle thief: "Big Hemp..."
Police: "You're also dealing drugs? Who are you getting your supplies from?"
Drug dealer: "With another person..."
Police officer: "Another person? Wasn't he the one who came in with him before?"
Drug dealer: "No... that person from before doesn't sell drugs anymore."
Police officer: "Not selling it anymore? Why?"
Drug dealer: "Dead."
Police: "How did you die?"
Drug dealer: "I killed him..."
Police: "...You've killed someone?!"
Murderer: "Hmm."
Police officer: "...Who did you kill?"
The murderer: "Ah Gou in the county town, and his henchmen Ah Mao and Ah She..."
Police: "...You killed more than one???"
Murderer: "Hmm."
Police: "...Besides stealing cattle and drug trafficking, what other illegal things have you done? Tell us everything."
Murderer: "Does rape count? Officer... could you give me some of that? I can't take it anymore..."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly contorted in pain.
The policeman glared at him sternly: "What do you think this place is?"
The police quickly contacted the county's public security bureau and compared the information of the murderer and the victim with theirs.
They immediately dispatched a car overnight to take the murderer to the city's police station.
Meanwhile, Yuan Mengge had already exchanged the learning capsule with the system, left happily, and returned home.
When I got back, I saw Li Xue'e huddled in the corner of the bed, hugging her legs and crying.
Upon seeing her like this, Yuan Mengge immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you? What happened? Was it my brother?"
In this family, right now, the only person most likely to bully her is Yuan Dasheng.
As soon as Li Xue'e saw her return, she looked up at her and burst into tears: "Waaaaah... Where did you go? Waaaaah... Why did you only come back now... Waaaaah..."
Yuan Mengge noticed that half of her face was swollen and quickly asked, "Who hit you? Was it my brother? What did he do to you?"
Li Xue'e had changed her clothes, and nothing could be seen from them except that half of her face was swollen.
"Waaaaah—he...he wanted to rape me while you weren't here...waaaaah..." Li Xue'e cried, covering her body with her hands.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mengge flew into a rage and yelled, "What? He dares to lay a hand on you? That bastard! I think he has a death wish!!!"
After finishing his rant, he suddenly remembered something and immediately looked at the other person nervously, asking, "By the way! Did you guys do it? Did he succeed?!"
Li Xue'e shook her head, sobbing, "Waaah...no...I cried and screamed and resisted...I bit his arm, and he got angry and slapped me...I didn't succeed in the end. Waaah..."
Yuan Mengge slammed her hand on the bed in anger and said, "Didn't my parents come to stop him?"
With such a commotion, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan Xiangyong will definitely find out.
Given how things have escalated, it's surprising that they didn't come to stop it; it seems they intentionally wanted Yuan Dasheng to accomplish that.
