Back in Heping Lane, there were more than ten people standing outside the Song family's house, including Chen Zhou.
Upon hearing that Xu Guiying had almost been killed, everyone was terrified and kept chattering.
Everyone is speculating whether the Song family has offended someone.
Chen Zhou looked grave. She was terrified that she was the murderer in the scalp case and worried that her moving in had attracted the killer.
Before long, Xu Guiying and the others returned.
Everyone was stunned to see Xu Guiying covered in blood, and they quickly gathered around to check on her.
The community director frowned. "Guiying, what exactly happened?"
"Who is that? Do you know him?"
"To dare to make a move in broad daylight, is it revenge or theft?"
...
Xu Guiying said with a stern face, "Everyone should know about the scalp case, right? That's the murderer."
Chen Zhou's face turned pale, and she immediately burst into tears.
"Is it because of me..."
Xu Guiying quickly stopped her, "It wasn't you, it wasn't you, don't cry, don't panic, there's no reason for a murderer to do something bad, I'm going to the police station now."
Song Rongrong: "I'll go too!"
Chen Zhou: "I'll go, I'll go!"
The Song family kitchen was the first crime scene, and Xu Guiying asked Lao Sun and Lao Zheng to guard the Song family first.
Finally, Song Rongrong, Chen Zhou, Aunt Wang, the community director, and two or three neighbors went to the police station together.
The police officers were shocked when they saw the blood on Xu Guiying's body.
"Comrade Xu Guiying, what's wrong? What happened?"
Xu Guiying is an old acquaintance; almost all the police officers in the local police station know her.
Xu Guiying rattled off Yu Fang's story in a flurry of activity.
"Yu Fang???"
The murderer's name is Fang Yu.
A woman dressed as a man.
Last time, she almost killed Yan Huai, and both the victim and witnesses said it was a woman with long hair.
This is basically consistent with what Xu Guiying said.
One of the police officers called the department directly, saying that the scalp case was not under the jurisdiction of the police station in the Heping Lane area, and that it was a serious matter that needed to be reported to the department.
Two more police officers were sent to the Song family's residence to inspect the scene.
Xu Guiying kept saying, "Anyway, my youngest son, Song Jianmin, was selling cabinets at a furniture factory one night when he ran into Yu Fang. Later, Song Jianmin ran into Yu Fang several more times. Old Song and I both felt that Yu Fang was not quite right. My father-in-law could tell at a glance that Yu Fang was a man. We also never imagined that Yu Fang would be related to this case."
Xu Guiying spoke quickly and concisely, took the water the policewoman poured for her, drank it, and continued talking.
“My family doesn’t allow Song Jianmin to have any more contact with Yu Fang. I guess Yu Fang is looking for revenge, so she came to me today.”
The police officer then briefly explained the case in the urban village.
"The victim was a college student who was going to study abroad this year. He was having illicit relationships with women and was injured by the murderer. He was saved by a kind person."
Xu Guiying frowned: "Did you see a woman? With long hair?"
The police officer pursed his lips and nodded solemnly.
"It really is her, there's no escaping it! Damn it, Yu Fang just said she was going to scalp me, if I catch her, I'll chop her up!" Xu Guiying slammed down the cup, splashing water everywhere.
Song Rongrong's eyes were red and swollen. When she heard what the police officer said, her eyes widened.
"Huh? What's that college student's name?"
The police officer shook his head, "This is the victim's privacy, we cannot say."
Song Rongrong slammed her hand on the table.
"Is his name Yan Huai?! That idiot!"
The police officer opened his mouth, his expression strange, and asked, "You know him?"
Song Rongrong sneered, blurting out, "She's my classmate."
Xu Guiying looked at Song Rongrong, narrowed her eyes, and said, "Rongrong?"
All the police officers in the station looked at Song Rongrong.
The police officer encouraged them, "You can tell us about the situation; maybe you'll get more clues that will help us find the murderer."
Song Rongrong glanced cautiously at her mother's expression.
Xu Guiying understood what was going on and frowned, "Why are you hesitating? Speak up!"
Song Rongrong: "...I dated Yan Huai for a while, but then I found out that he was in close contact with his junior sister. Later, I found out that they rented a house in an urban village. Yan Huai and I had a fight and never saw each other again. After that, I stayed at home and didn't go back to school. I didn't know anything about him."
Song Rongrong was a little speechless; she had missed the first-hand news.
Otherwise, I would definitely go to the hospital and give Yan Huai a good laugh.
After listening, the police officer nodded. "It seems to be the same reason: the murderer prefers to target people with messy romantic relationships."
Xu Guiying and the others stayed at the police station until after 2 p.m. After giving their statements and saying everything they needed to say, the group returned to Heping Lane.
Xu Guiying also took home a banner personally awarded to her by the police station chief, which read "Courageous in Fighting, Unafraid of Difficulties".
Everyone in Heping Lane knew what had happened that morning.
Everyone praised Xu Guiying for being amazing. The murderer killed so many men, but Xu Guiying escaped. And Xu Guiying was a woman!
The police officers who came to Xu Guiying's house earlier were still there, cleaning the kitchen.
Aunt Wang was still wiping away tears.
"Guiying, if I hadn't come to borrow some sauerkraut from you, you would have already left. It's such an undeserved disaster, it's all my fault."
What does this have to do with Aunt Wang?
Xu Guiying quickly said, "Sister Wang, don't overthink it. Yu Fang has chosen me. If she didn't see me today, there's always tomorrow. It's good that I'm at home. It would be bad if I ran into Rongrong and Yingying alone."
Aunt Wang kept sighing.
Xu Guiying was also aware of the situation.
I never expected that Yu Fang would value Song Jianmin so much.
Yu Fang, Fang Yu.
It's just that Xu Guiying didn't know the murderer's name before, otherwise she could have immediately made the connection to the unusual situation.
The two police officers at the house said that the murderer most likely entered through the window of the three brothers' room and went directly to the kitchen.
Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous to come in through the main gate, and footprints were also found on the floor of the three brothers' room.
Xu Guiying nodded and said that she would ask Song Xinfu to install iron bars on the windows tonight. Right now, there are only two wooden windows, and Song Jianmin occasionally opens them to let in some fresh air, but he often forgets to close them.
Song Rongrong was still in shock.
My mom is absolutely amazing.
A woman among women.
With her physical abilities, she could even participate in the Olympics.
Xu Guiying washed her face and changed her clothes, but ended up reopening the wound on her waist, so she had to go to the clinic again.
The doctor quickly disinfected Xu Guiying's wound, saying that the blade had cut quite deep, but since Xu Guiying had a lot of flesh around her waist, no vital parts were injured.
Xu Guiying chased the murderer entirely on willpower that morning; she didn't even feel any pain herself.
After applying the medicine and wrapping the bandage, Xu Guiying belatedly realized that she was in some pain.
The other members of the Song family who were not at home only heard about this when they returned to Heping Lane in the evening.
There were still people in the Song family courtyard; Old Sun and Aunt Wang were still talking about what happened that morning.
Song Xinfu and Song Jianmin returned home together. After hearing what had happened during the day, they cried even more bitterly than Meng Jiangnu.
