Zhao Gong'an and the others did not expect that Captain Sun would be so ruthless as to use a child of only a few years old to threaten them, and they were at a loss for what to do.
Little Xingxing was being choked by Captain Sun, making it difficult for her to breathe and speak. She was terrified and stretched out her little hand towards the Ye family for help, tears streaming down her face. The sight broke the hearts of the Ye family.
Captain Sun was overjoyed that his threats had worked. "Get out of the way! Or I'll kill this brat right now! Get out of the way! Get out... ah..."
Just when Captain Sun thought his scheme had succeeded, he suddenly heard two gunshots. He felt a sharp pain in his head and fell straight down.
The moment Ye Huaiming heard the gunshot, he rushed forward, caught his son who was about to fall to the ground, and held him tightly in his arms.
When the other people on the farm heard the gunshot, they were so frightened that they covered their heads and squatted on the ground, not daring to move.
As Zhao, the police officer, cautiously raised his gun and looked around, he saw a tall man put away his gun and hand it back to Mao Xiao, the police officer in front of him.
Mao Xiao stared at the gun in front of him, then belatedly reached for his waist, only to find it empty. A cold sweat broke out instantly. He snatched the gun from Huo Xiao's hand and shouted angrily, "Who are you? Do you know that what you just did was illegal?"
Huo Xiao looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry, the situation was urgent just now, and I had no choice but to do it."
Mao Xiao's anger hadn't subsided. "You killed someone, do you even know that?"
Huo Xiao's expression was serious. "Officer, my shot that hit the criminal's arm wouldn't have caused fatal damage."
"How is this possible!" Mao Xiao didn't believe it, and neither did the other police officers present. Otherwise, where did the hole in Captain Sun's head come from?
“He wasn’t lying, I killed that criminal.” A voice came from the doorway.
Everyone turned to look and saw a group of soldiers in military uniforms walking towards them. The man in the lead was dashing and had a cold expression. "Ye Huaijin, XXX of the Huaxi Military Region, has been ordered to assist in the investigation of the April Farm case."
The moment Huo Xiao saw Ye Huaijin, he sensed something was off about the Ye family members behind him, and he couldn't help but scrutinize the newcomer carefully.
This person should be Weiwei's second brother, her brother-in-law who is serving in the West China Military Region.
Originally, he and Weiwei planned to visit their family at the farm first and then go to the Huaxi Military Region to visit their brother-in-law, but they unexpectedly ran into him here first.
Before Zhao Gong'an could speak, Ye Huaijin strode forward to examine Captain Sun's body, then pointed to the wound on his elbow and said, "He was shot here."
After saying that, he looked at Huo Xiao with admiration in his eyes: "You grasped the timing, angle and position very well. It seems that even without my shot, you could have safely rescued the person."
Huo Xiao: "The situation was urgent just now. I was worried that the child would suffocate if we delayed for too long, so I acted rashly without getting prior consent. It was my fault, and I ask for the understanding of the police officers."
Wang Tao had already come to his senses and quickly stepped forward, lowering his voice to say, "Officer Zhao, this soldier comrade, Comrade Huo Xiao is the hero who helped us crack the case of Director Guo and his son Guo An trafficking in cultural relics and people. He also provided a lot of evidence of Huang Pangzi's previous abuse of women. He just retired from the army not long ago and was an excellent soldier before."
Upon hearing what Huo Xiao had done, Zhao Gong'an and the others immediately looked at him with new respect and became much more enthusiastic.
Mao Xiao said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here to help us. I misunderstood you."
In short, he covered up the incident of Huo Xiao taking his service weapon and shooting someone without authorization.
Huo Xiao appreciated his kindness, "I just arrived and happened to run into him."
Once the matter was explained, everyone immediately turned their attention back to the case.
With Ye Huaijin's team in charge, Zhao Gong'an and his men were in high spirits and could finally act freely.
The first thing to do is to take control of all the security personnel.
Seeing that Captain Sun and his henchmen had been arrested, the people on the farm were no longer a threat and were finally able to relax a little.
Liu Yun was the first to stand up and denounce the crimes of Huang Pangzi and his gang. She recounted her family's tragic experiences, which brought tears to the eyes of the female police officer taking her statement.
With Liu Yun setting an example, soon those who had been abused by Huang Pangzi and his gang, or their families, stood up and recounted their grievances one by one.
After listening to the conversation, Zhao Gong'an and the others looked very ugly. The small team that Ye Huaijin brought also turned ashen with anger. Their eyes seemed to spit fire as they looked at the security personnel. The group of people who were usually arrogant and domineering were so frightened that they tucked their tails between their legs and didn't dare to utter a word.
“Those bastards, Fatty Huang and his gang, are utterly depraved. Over the years, they've killed more than thirty people, reported by people on the farm alone. Mao Xiao, take some men to the place they mentioned and search for the bodies…”
Before Officer Zhao could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he jumped to the side.
Everyone saw the soil churning and tumbling where he had been standing, as if something underground was moving toward one side of the farm.
Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a loud bang, and the wall on the farm side collapsed with a crash, leaving a large crater not far away.
Ye Huaijin sent two soldiers with him to check what was going on.
A short while later, two soldiers returned with strange expressions. "Report! We've found a large pit over there with about twenty corpses inside. They should be the ones that the police officer asked us to find!"
The small square was completely silent!
It took Zhao Gong'an a while to find his voice: "Let's go, let's go take a look!"
A group of people rushed over and indeed saw the pit and the body inside. One of them had been buried for a short time and his clothes were still intact.
Liu Yun recognized him at a glance as her husband, Qiao Jiaping, and cried as she tried to rush over: "Old Qiao! Waaah... that's my Old Qiao... don't stop me... let me through... waaah..."
Qiao Yang also cried out loudly, "Dad... Dad..."
Many people on the farm who knew Liu Yun couldn't help but shed tears.
The bodies were carried out one by one, and soon, people recognized their relatives, and cries of grief filled the air, enveloping the farm in sorrow.
Villagers from nearby villages who witnessed this scene were filled with sympathy, and some even shed tears.
Some superstitious people believe that Huang Pangzi and his gang had committed so many evil deeds that even God couldn't stand it anymore. The sudden collapse of the wall and the sudden appearance of the large pit were God's warnings, helping those who were killed on the farm to seek justice.
Inside the space, Ye Weiwei watched all this with a pale face, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
