When Zhu Manli heard that Zou Peng was going to report today's incident to her superiors, she immediately panicked and her lips trembled with fear. The police officers she brought with her huddled behind the crowd like quails, reducing their presence, for fear of being implicated by this unlucky leader.
"In the case of Tian Xiaofeng being hung from a tree, there is a lack of witnesses and physical evidence. The victim is unable to describe the details of the incident, and there is suspicion of frame-up and persecution. Therefore, we will not file a case for the time being!"
After hearing Zou Peng's words, the crowd erupted in a commotion. They talked about today's "mourner incident" and the fight between the two old ladies, Sun and Wang, two days ago. The louder they talked, the more the topic deviated. Everyone was thinking about the rumors about Chen Qingshan. How credible were they? Or were they completely false, fabricated by the villains of the Tian family to deliberately smear him?
"Hey, Xiao Hu Jian, do you believe that the girl from the Chen family is being kept by someone?"
"Don't worry, I think it's all rumors. The Chen couple don't seem like the kind of people who would sell their daughter for a higher price!"
"...Actually, I didn't believe it before, but I couldn't resist hearing so many people around me spread it, so I started to believe it. But when I saw this little girl today, it really doesn't seem like it..."
Another homeowner chimed in, "Yeah, yeah. Besides, aren't those gossipers in the neighborhood mostly middle-aged and elderly women? They have nothing better to do than gossip about other people's affairs. What good can they possibly say?"
“…That’s right…”
"You say the Tian family is so wicked, eating other people's food and throwing dirty water on them. If you ask me, Tian Xiaofeng can't say anything because he has done too many bad things, and this is retribution!"
“Who says it’s not?”
“…”
Although Tian Yao and Zou Peng were of equal rank, Zou Peng was miles ahead of Tian Yao in terms of momentum and boldness. Tian Yao, seeing his wife being scolded by Zou Peng, did not dare to confront him. Zhu Manli had already lost her composure, her heart in turmoil. At this moment, neither of them cared about "seeking justice" for their son, but only wanted to quickly put the matter behind them. When Zou Peng said "no case will be filed", they did not continue to argue and acquiesced.
Zhu Manli glared at Tian Yao and tilted her head slightly. Tian Yao understood and pulled Tian Xiaofeng, who looked like a frost-bitten eggplant, to leave in the chaos, but was stopped by Xiao Wu again.
"Wait, don't go! There's still a case to investigate today!"
Zou Peng continued with a sullen face, "I'm here today mainly to investigate the case of the garden property camera being deliberately damaged. Officer Wu and I have just gone to the property to understand the situation and retrieved the video footage of the suspect. Let Officer Wu explain the details to everyone!"
Tian Xiaofeng's nerves, which had originally relaxed, tensed up again. He grabbed Tian Yao's arm and murmured something incoherently.
Wu Yong cleared his throat and said, "The camera clearly captured the suspect's face. Although he was wearing sunglasses and a wig, based on facial contour comparison and body movement analysis, the suspect is most likely the owner of Villa No. 13, Tian Xiaofeng!"
After saying this, Officer Wu pulled a printed screenshot from his briefcase and showed it to everyone present. The man in the picture was of medium build, slightly hunched over, and wearing an Afro. Although his eyes were blocked by sunglasses, his iconic shoehorn face was still very recognizable. Who else could it be but Tian Xiaofeng?
"Wow!" There was another uproar in the crowd. "Fuck, what are you still doubting? It's Tian Xiaofeng!"
"Not really. In our community, including the security guards and cleaners, there are only two people with such big chins. One is Tian Xiaofeng, and the other is his father! Tian Yao has a beer belly that's obvious, and his figure doesn't match. So it must be Tian Xiaofeng!"
"Look, isn't that the hood on the ground?"
