Only after the old policeman rode his bike away did Yu Qiuying pat the dirt off her body and rub her sore arm. Luckily, she was only forty-three and still quite healthy; otherwise, who knows what might have happened to her.
What a terrible day! What a mess this is!
Yu Qiuying was feeling down when a policewoman in her thirties came running up behind her, panting heavily.
As the policewoman watched the officers walk away, she stopped, wiped her sweat, took a few breaths, and then immediately ran back.
Yu Qiuying hurriedly chased after him, "Officer, wait a minute, I need to report a case."
The policewoman didn't stop running, panting as she said, "If you want to report a case, come with me to the police station. I have urgent business to report back to..."
Yu Qiuying had no choice but to run with the other person. After about three or four minutes, the two arrived at the police station one after the other.
Before the two even entered the police station, several police cars roared up to them.
Immediately afterwards, the former director, Yang Jianhang, came out from inside with a serious expression.
Yu Qiuying remembered Yang Jianhang; the year her husband died, he accompanied people from the county to her home to deliver the pension.
The police car did not drive into the police station, but stopped at the entrance.
Seeing several officers in criminal investigation uniforms get out of the lead police car, Yu Qiuying stopped about seven or eight meters away from them, not in a hurry to go over.
Then one of the older detectives with gray hair asked, "Old Yang, where is he?"
"The person ran away. That person was too alert. Several of us went after him."
As Yang Jianhang spoke, he hurriedly asked the policewoman who was running back breathlessly, "Xiao Yu, did you see which way they ran?"
Before the policewoman could catch her breath, she hurriedly reported, "Chief Yang, they ran towards Xiaoxi Village."
The veteran detective told Yang Jianhang to get in the car, and Yang Jianhang immediately followed him into the police car.
Several cars sped away again, seemingly chasing after the fugitive.
Yu Qiuying then stepped forward and said to the policewoman, "Comrade, I want to report a case."
The policewoman slumped against the wall, wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. "Ma'am, what happened? Are you reporting a crime?"
Yu Qiuying then recounted the whole story in detail, and finally said, suppressing her anger, "Comrade, everyone in our village can testify to this, you must stand up for me!"
"This person is too awful!" The policewoman hadn't taken Yu Qiuying's report seriously at first. Although people don't usually report cases unless it's something serious these days, there are always a few who make a fuss over trivial matters. However, after hearing what Yu Qiuying said, her expression immediately turned serious.
However, she then said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister, you've come at an inopportune time. There's only one household registration officer and one logistics officer left in our station. You should have seen the four of us chasing after a man at that intersection, right? Our Chief Yang also got into the car and left. How about this, you come in with me to register and leave your address. When our people come back, we'll have them go to your village tomorrow."
Yu Qiuying: "..."
Okay, she forgot, these days there are only a handful of police officers in a rural police station.
There was no other way but to follow the policewoman inside, register, and leave my address.
By the time Yu Qiuying returned to the village, it was already completely dark.
Fortunately, the moonlight has been bright these past few days; otherwise, with everything pitch black, she really wouldn't have dared to walk back alone.
"Mom, is that you?" Zhou Cailian stood at the village entrance and saw a figure walking towards her from afar, so she called out.
"It's me." Upon hearing Zhou Cailian's voice, Yu Qiuying's chills instantly disappeared, and she quickly walked over.
Zhou Cailian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the answer. "Mom, why did you come back alone? Didn't the police come?"
