Chapter 157 I Know It
She asked this question in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible, as if she was afraid of being heard by others, but she was very clear in her heart about the importance of this question.
Qiao Jin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to have such a crazy idea. Then he asked back, "Do you mean to pretend that you are dead?"
Her brows furrowed slightly, clearly expressing doubts about the safety of this plan, but she also understood that this might be her only way to escape.
Tears flowed from the woman's eyes again. "What other options do I have? If I don't do this, I will never be able to leave this place. I think he will believe it as long as you say that. As long as you announce that I am dead, he will no longer pay attention to me."
The woman's words revealed endless helplessness and determination, which made people feel extremely sad.
"But based on his attitude towards people, if you really die, I'm afraid he won't even prepare a coffin for you. Instead, he'll just dump you somewhere or push you into the river. In this case, your plan may not be sound enough."
"So what do you think we should do? Are you here to catch the murderer? Or are you also concerned about the other villagers in our village? I'm afraid not."
Qiao Jin nodded and said, "Of course we have to take care of everyone. Catching criminals is indeed important, but protecting the villagers is equally important."
"Then how long do I have to wait to be rescued? What if you can't take me away in the end? Please, help me!"
As she spoke, the woman grabbed Qiao Jin's hands tightly, her eyes full of pleading, as if she was begging Qiao Jin for help.
However, at this moment, the woman suddenly sprinkled a handful of powder from under the quilt.
When Qiao Jin just realized the strange smell in the air, it was too late to react!
She widened her eyes and looked at the scene in surprise. She could hardly believe that the other party would choose such a way to harm her!
As her consciousness gradually blurred, the only thing left in her ears was the woman's intermittent voice:
"Don't blame me... I had no choice. Everyone only sympathizes with the victim, but no one really considers my difficulties. So... I am not wrong."
She kept repeating these words, as if the repetition could ease her guilt.
In the end, Qiao Jin completely lost consciousness and fell into endless darkness.
The woman got out of bed carefully, trying to avoid making any noise with every step, and then slowly walked towards the door.
Outside the door, Mr. Li had already scared Dong Chunlan away.
You know, Dong Chunlan is also very afraid of this guy.
This man is the only one in Congjiazhuang. His two previous wives unfortunately passed away, and his current wife is often abused.
Although she is the spouse of a cadre, she is of a certain age after all, and still exudes a unique charm.
Therefore, Dong Chunlan did not want to get into trouble by helping Qiao Jin.
She didn't want to stop that guy.
When Dong Chunlan returned to Congjiazhuang and found that the village had been surrounded by a group of strangers, she was so scared that her legs went weak and her face lost all color.
She looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief, her heart filled with fear and anxiety.
Who are these people who have occupied our village?
She thought anxiously in her heart.
At this moment, the police members led by Chang Jian are guarding here with live ammunition.
Once they discover that the criminal has appeared, their first priority is to ensure the safety of the lives of the residents of Congjiazhuang!
In such a tense situation, Chang Jian noticed a pale woman standing in front of him with a slightly frown on her face.
Curly hair, worm-like curved eyebrows, and a noticeable black spot on one side of the cheek...
Isn’t this the leader’s wife that the captain described?
Chang Jian and Xiang Pengfei looked at each other, confirmed each other's thoughts, and then walked towards Dong Chunlan.
When Dong Chunlan saw someone walking towards her, she was so scared that her face turned pale and she immediately turned around and ran away.
She felt an unprecedented fear and just wanted to escape from these unknown people as soon as possible.
Chang Jian saw this scene, frowned, and shouted: "Why are you running? We are the rescue team assigned by our superiors to protect the safety of Congjia Village."
There was a sense of majesty in his voice, but it could not calm the fear in Dong Chunlan's heart.
Xiang Pengfei whispered at the side: "There must be something wrong with this person! I didn't see my sister-in-law when I went to Cong Lefei's house just now."
"Chase!"
Chang Jian gave a decisive order and immediately quickened his pace to catch up with Dong Chunlan.
No matter how hard Dong Chunlan ran, she could not compare to Chang Jian who had received professional training.
Dong Chunlan was so scared that she was shaking all over until someone grabbed her shoulders tightly and Chang Jian pulled her back.
Her heartbeat seemed to burst out of her chest, and each beat seemed to be hammering at her soul.
"Why are you running?"
Chang Jian's voice was filled with unquestionable severity, and every word pierced Dong Chunlan's eardrums like a sharp sword.
Dong Chunlan stared at Chang Jian with fear in her eyes: "Who are you? Why are you always pestering our Congjia Village?"
There was a tremor in her words, as if she was seeking some kind of relief but was afraid to hear the answer.
Chang Jian directly showed his badge. The glittering golden badge in his hand looked particularly dazzling. "See? We are on a mission. You have to cooperate with us!"
There was an irrefutable firmness in his words.
"This, this must be fake! It's all a lie! I want to see my husband!"
Dong Chunlan's voice became sharp, and she seemed to be shouting with all her strength, trying to prove that she was not dreaming.
Chang Jian pulled Dong Chunlan in front of him and asked coldly, "Where is Qiao Jin now?"
His voice was low and serious, and every word was like a heavy stone pressing on Dong Chunlan's heart.
Qiao Jin?
This name instantly triggered countless complex emotions in Dong Chunlan's heart.
She cursed in her heart, these people are indeed in the same group!
She knew that Qiao Jin was not a worry-free person, but when she thought of her current situation, she couldn't help but feel helpless.
But thinking that Qiao Jin has been controlled by that old guy, he probably won't have a good ending.
So Dong Chunlan pretended to be deaf and dumb and said, "I don't know where she is. When she left home this morning, she said she was going to treat the villagers. Go look for her door to door!"
Her eyes were full of confusion and helplessness, as if she really didn't know what to say.
Chang Jian looked into Dong Chunlan's eyes and found that there was nothing abnormal on her face. He handed her over to Xiang Pengfei for care: "Keep an eye on her. This girl is not normal."
There was an extra note of caution in his tone, as if reminding Xiang Pengfei to be careful.
Xiang Pengfei nodded in agreement. He understood that the woman in front of him was not simple and should not be taken lightly.
On the other side, Fu Yanlin led his team to capture Cong Lefei, tied him up and pressed him to the ground.
Fu Yanlin's face was full of determination. He knew that time was precious and he had to complete the task as soon as possible.
Cong Lefei stared at the neatly dressed man in front of him with wide eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I knew it a long time ago! You are not ordinary people at all! You even pretend to be a doctor from the capital! Do you think I am a fool?!"
