Xiao Jiu's sharp ears detected something unusual, but when she looked in that direction, her mother thought she needed to relieve herself.
"What's wrong? Do you need to pee? Shall Mommy take you?"
Xiao Jiu subconsciously shook her head. Although she was very curious, she held back and did not make any rash moves.
She knew Zhou Yue; he wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of, so if he dared to do it, he must have been well-prepared.
For my mother, watching the movie is more important; we can't put her in danger.
These are her beloved family members; she must protect them.
In contrast to the bustling crowds here, a cat-and-mouse game is unfolding in the alley in the southwest of the town.
Zhou Dashan, who shouldn't have been here but had already been dragged into it, was the first to be subdued.
The man who tried to escape and had his leg broken by a gunshot was Widow Hu's lover, and he was also the one who was reported this time.
In the end, Widow Hu, her lover, her child, and Zhou Dashan were all arrested by the police.
When the police searched the widow's house, they found a bag of grain. They hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but when they casually grabbed it, everyone's expression changed.
Because it's a top-tier Q, and it even has bullets!
This is terrible!
Now, Zhou Dashan couldn't explain himself even if he had ten mouths.
Du Jiang and his group stood indifferently at the alley entrance, coldly watching the police raid Widow Hu's house. Among the onlookers were ordinary people who hadn't gone to the movie. They all thought this scene was even more interesting than the movie itself.
How long has it been since something this big happened in their town?
Those were police officers, and seven or eight of them came at once, arresting five people at once, even taking the children away.
This must be a big case, right?
At nine o'clock in the evening, the movie ended. Zhao Lingli held Xiao Jiu's hand and led the third and fourth children, muttering as they walked about those kids who didn't watch the movie and who knew where they were.
When Zhao Lingli got home and saw them lying safely on the bed washing their feet, she frowned.
"Well, you two are really something. You came back without saying a word. Why didn't you go see a movie? You even managed to snag seats, but you didn't go. So many people asked, but you wouldn't let them sit. And you two, you didn't even go after the movie ended, causing your dad and me to get chased and yelled at by a lot of people."
The mere mention of this made Zhao Lingli angry, but upon seeing that they had all finished the pancakes she had brought, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
“Oh, Mother, we went over there, but we couldn’t squeeze in, so we climbed up a tree to take a look. Naturally, we came back earlier than you.”
Several people weren't lying about this; although they only saw the end, they still saw it! They even told them the ending.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lingli was certain that they hadn't wandered off, so she ran over to make a bed for Xiao Jiu.
As soon as Xiao Jiu saw Zhao Lingli leave, she immediately ran over and grabbed Zhou Yue's arm.
"Brother Yue, did you succeed?"
Zhou Yue looked at the little guy's bright, inquisitive eyes and couldn't help but find it amusing.
But he still nodded honestly, "Of course."
"So, did you get your revenge?"
Seeing her excited expression, Zhou Yue subconsciously ruffled her shiny hair and nodded.
"That's great. Although I haven't been able to do anything for you, the fact that the bad guy got the punishment he deserved makes me the happiest."
She didn't inquire about the process, but she knew that once Zhou Yue made his move, Zhou Dashan would be dead without a doubt.
Sure enough, after only one night of fermentation, the village went to the police station the next day.
Two groups of police officers arrived; one group went to the third house of the Zhou family, and the other group went to the first house of the Zhou family.
However, nothing was found at the eldest son's house.
Xiao Jiu had seen that Q before, so he knew what they were looking for and why they had come looking for him.
Zhou Yue answered honestly, "The grain was indeed lost. The gun? I haven't seen it. Even though my brother is a soldier, I haven't seen it either."
Zhou Yue wasn't afraid of their investigation. Fortunately, he was still a child, especially since the Zhou family had just held a funeral.
That night, he and the Tao brothers went to town to watch a movie, and saw many people there.
Everyone knows about the old and new grudges between Zhou Yue and Zhou Dashan, but Zhou Dashan's actions of killing people and stealing grain go beyond just being a person of bad character.
He actually claimed the gun belonged to Zhou Yue, trying to frame a child. Not content with harming the child's grandparents, he even wanted to give him the identity of Dieter. How could this person be so wicked!
Zhou Yue carefully recalled the details of that night, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
The Tao brothers, including Du Jiang, were unaware that he had placed a gun in the grain sack. Even if they knew there was an investigation afterward, they wouldn't dare to ask openly.
It was precisely because they seized upon this point that they were able to crush Zhou Dashan in one fell swoop.
He already knew that Widow Hu and the middle-aged man were Dieter, and if they could share the blame, they would definitely be willing.
And this Zhou Dashan was someone he deliberately lured there.
The middle-aged man received his letter and happened to catch the adulterous couple at his home, but before he could ask any questions, he was surrounded.
He even suspected that Zhou Dashan might be the one who harmed him.
Both of them were seasoned veterans; they knew exactly what to say and do with just a glance.
So things progressed so smoothly. It was just after the New Year, and who could have imagined that right after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, news came from the county that Zhou Dashan was going to be escorted to the provincial capital, and there were even rumors that he was going to be executed.
Then the villagers curiously ran over and asked Zhou Yue, "What were the police doing at your house that day?"
Zhou Yue honestly replied, "It's nothing. He just came to my house and asked if I had lost anything. I checked around and found that a 30-jin bag of millet was missing. That's when I realized that he had stolen my millet and taken it to town to sell, and he got caught."
Many people saw Zhou Yue at the Tao family's backyard on the third day of the Lunar New Year. The Tao family was all going out, leaving only Xiao Jiu and Zhou Yue at home. The neighbors all knew that this was all planned by a 14-year-old child.
"Looks like we've caught a big fish by accident. We've even sent it to the provincial capital. That widow Hu is probably involved in some big case."
Tao Zui and Tao Ran couldn't help but feel a chill of fear when they thought about it. Who would have thought that Widow Hu had such a powerful background? And Zhou Dashan was such a fool. Of all people to mess with, he had to pick on Dieter. Wasn't he just asking to be used as bait?
Since it's offered up, why not take advantage of it? Maybe we can even get some blame transferred to them.
Xiao Jiu guessed that Zhou Dashan was most likely to be secretly executed.
In this day and age, once you get involved in a case like this, they'll investigate your entire family history for eighteen generations. He has a criminal record, and they're not stupid enough to let go of this opportunity to make a contribution.
That's the kind of thinking: better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
He himself probably can't find any evidence to prove his innocence.
Will Zhou Yue go and provide him with proof?
It's impossible in the next life.
Therefore, all of this is his own fault.
