The young man glanced at the captain and chuckled.
"Who are you?" asked the captain with a sullen look on his face.
"I just had a stomachache and went out to the toilet, and I saw it accidentally. I'm not lazy, Captain, really, I'm very hardworking." The young man said a little guilty.
Old Li quickly sorted out what happened in his mind.
Before the accident, Wang Laoer and Wang Cui left the village together.
Where did they go after leaving the village?
Did we go to the miasma forest outside Wolf Howling Valley to talk?
Then the two people failed to reach an agreement, and Wang Cui forcefully pushed Wang Laoer into the miasma forest, causing Wang Laoer's death.
Then Wang Cui is the suspect in the murder of Wang Laoer.
Wang Cui knew that Wang Laoer did not elope with Widow Cui, but was dead.
After the two families were taken away by the police, she realized something was wrong, so she went up the mountain to pay homage to her grandmother and prepared to escape.
Now it is not certain whether her falling off the cliff was true or an accident.
Old Li had a plan in mind and continued chatting with the villagers, quietly learning about the past between Wang Laoer and Wang Cui.
roar!
A loud roar came from not far away.
Everyone looked over and saw from afar that a tiger was biting a person that looked like a blood gourd in its mouth. It looked like a young woman.
"It's Wang Cui! This is the dress she wore when she went up the mountain this morning." The young man exclaimed.
He was so frightened that his legs were shaking. Although he spoke in a relaxed manner, facing such a bloody scene, the young man still found it difficult to bear.
He subconsciously took several steps back and began to vomit while holding onto a tree trunk.
The old hunter had already raised his rifle. "Everyone, find cover. Climb a tree if you can. While the tiger is..."
The old hunter paused and said, "Let's shoot the tiger while it's not paying attention."
Everyone hurriedly climbed up the tree. The young man was slapped in the face by his elders, and then he came to his senses and climbed up the tree.
The old hunter directed everyone to their appropriate positions and shot together with a wave of his hand.
The tiger obviously didn't expect to be disturbed while he was enjoying his meal.
It roared and tried to attack, but the bullet had already hit it.
There were gunshots one after another on the mountain.
The villagers at the foot of the mountain nervously closed their doors.
Zhang Ming and Xiao Qian were waiting at the foot of the mountain, both looking anxious and solemn.
After all, he was a tiger, and he was really afraid that something might happen to his master.
He should have insisted on going up the mountain with his master!
But when the master glared at him, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Zhang Ming, stop turning. If you keep turning, I'll be confused."
They had just sent two families back home.
The eldest, third, fourth and Zhang Wangdi of the Wang family were all crying. The three children looked numb, as if they were unable to react.
Zhang Wangdi hugged his children and said, "They haven't seen their father for so long. Suddenly hearing that he's gone, they can't handle the shock."
At an angle where no one was paying attention, Zhang Wangdi pinched each of the three children hard.
The children's eyes turned red and they started crying.
Zhang Wangdi breathed a sigh of relief quietly. The three Wang brothers were crying and hugging each other, so they didn't notice her little action.
But Zhang Ming and Xiao Qian saw it, and naturally they didn't say anything.
They knew that Wang Laoer often abused the mother and her two children. So, there was nothing to be sad about when such a man died.
When the brother and sister from the Cui family were sent back, the half-paralyzed old man from the Cui family was stunned.
He never expected that after just going out for a while, his beloved little son and his wife would not come back.
"How could they have been the ones to kill someone? Didn't the eldest daughter-in-law elope? She did elope."
"You police officers shouldn't wrongly accuse innocent people. Release them, release them."
"They admitted it themselves." Zhang Ming persuaded.
The old man cried and sobbed, "That's my eldest daughter-in-law. We won't pursue the matter. She's dead, so let her be. Let my youngest son and my wife go back."
Zhang Ming and Xiao Qian were both speechless.
The branch secretary brought other village cadres to calm the emotions and make arrangements for the children's future.
Zhang Ming and Xiao Qian took the opportunity to leave and waited for Lao Li and others to come back at the foot of the mountain.
The two men looked at the mountain with serious expressions, and Xiao Qian patted Zhang Ming on the shoulder.
"Don't be too nervous. Uncle Li and the others are experienced. Nothing will happen. There are also old hunters and so many villagers."
"That's a tiger..." Zhang Ming was still worried.
Xiao Qian pulled Zhang Ming, and the two of them stomped their feet. "Do you think those two kids will have a good life after returning to the Cui family?"
Zhang Ming's expression became more serious. "I think their future life might be better than when they had grandma and uncle."
"They are the only relatives left of the old man in the Cui family. In their parlance of continuing the family line, the young man from the Cui family is the only male in the family."
"Without a younger son to rely on, I can only count on my eldest grandson to carry on the family line. That old man will never lay a hand on his own grandson no matter what."
"I see that the Cui family kid takes good care of his sister. He won't let her suffer any loss. Now that the old man is paralyzed, the Cui family kid will soon have the final say in this family."
"But they are outsiders. I don't know if the villagers will bully these two children."
Zhang Ming had a good impression of the boy from the Cui family. He seemed to be a man of his own ideas and held his sister's hand throughout the whole time at the Public Security Bureau.
"Who knows, it would be great if they could read." Xiao Qian said.
The two exchanged glances and said nothing more.
It is very common in this era for children to enter the first grade of primary school at the age of ten.
But how can a child go to school if there is no one to supervise him?
They are also powerless.
The two sighed heavily again.
"The longer I work in public security, the more I realize how powerless I am. There are many things I know I'm doing that are wrong, but there's nothing I can do. I simply can't change the reality of this society."
Zhang Ming raised his hand and patted Xiao Qian, "We have to believe that things will definitely get better. Look, aren't these years much better than before?"
Xiao Qian naturally understood what Zhang Ming was talking about and nodded.
Another burst of gunfire was heard on the mountain, drawing the attention of the two men.
The tiger was finally killed successfully. To be on the safe side, they fired a few more shots and made sure there was no problem before moving forward to separate the tiger from its body that had been bitten to pieces at its feet.
"this……"
The captain looked at the broken female corpse and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Let's cut some branches to make a simple stretcher. We still need to bring the body down the mountain." said Lao Li.
"Yes. No matter what, she is a girl from our village, we have to bury Wang Cui." The team leader calmed himself down.
"The body must be taken back to the Public Security Bureau for an autopsy first, and then sent back after the autopsy." Old Li said firmly.
Although he saw with his own eyes the tiger tearing the female corpse into pieces, for some reason, Lao Li just had a feeling that something was wrong.
He trusts his intuition.
The intuition accumulated by an old police officer over many years of experience can often be the key to solving a case.
