Chapter 40: Plans Ahead of Schedule



Seeing the subtle changes in Sun Changsheng's expression, Lu Yuan was almost certain that the two people that day were Zhang Yuping and this bastard.

Ha, I never expected his father to be wearing such a big green hat.

Now he needs to find evidence to prove that these two people are the ones who hurt Grandpa Liu.

While I was making plans in my mind, I heard the other party ask a question.

"You were telling me you were going to the police station, was that true?"

Lu Yuan nodded hurriedly, "Of course it's true. I'm going to tell the police officers about my suspicions. My stepmother just happened to be taken to the commune by the Revolutionary Committee, so I'll ask the police officers to interrogate her while they're at it. If it really is her, she definitely won't be able to withstand the interrogation and will confess in no time. Then we'll know who that man is, right?"

He spoke casually, but Sun Changsheng was alarmed.

If the police were to interrogate him, that bitch Zhang Yuping might actually confess to him.

He then scolded, "Nonsense."

"What did I do wrong?" Lu Yuan asked, puzzled.

Sun Changsheng reprimanded him with a stern face, "Since you have doubts in your heart, why don't you talk to me, the captain, first?"

Lu Yuan looked completely innocent. "Isn't that what I'm telling you?"

Sun Changsheng nearly choked to death.

Was this done beforehand?

He had already decided to go to the commune police station.

Would he have told me if we hadn't run into each other?

"What I mean is that you should have told me earlier. We should have discussed it together and investigated it thoroughly before informing the police. We can't just wrong an innocent person."

"Why should we go through all that trouble to investigate? Besides, we're not professionals. Wouldn't it be much easier to just tell the police and let them investigate?"

Seeing that he couldn't get through to him, Sun Changsheng rubbed his face in frustration.

He paused, then added, "Zhang Yuping is still your stepmother, you can't hurt her. Otherwise, your father won't let you off the hook."

"I'll interrogate her after she comes out of the Revolutionary Committee. If it really is her, then we can hand her over to the police."

Lu Yuan frowned, looking hesitant, and after a long while, he reluctantly agreed.

"Okay then."

Sun Changsheng was about to say that since that was the case, he should let him get off the oxcart and go back to the village.

To my surprise, when I looked up, the commune was right in front of me.

He had no choice but to ask, "Where are you going?"

Lu Yuan said, "If you don't want to go to the police station, then go to the clinic. Since we're already here, let's go see Grandpa Liu."

Sun Changsheng, thinking that there were also police officers guarding the health center, worried that he might say something inappropriate, so he said,

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

The person guarding the clinic today is an acquaintance, Song Minghao.

Seeing the two of them approach, he excitedly asked, "Did you also receive some new information and that's why you came?"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

Just as I was about to interrupt, Song Minghao blurted it out.

"Dr. Gao said that Mr. Liu's condition is better today than yesterday, and he may wake up at any time."

boom--

Sun Changsheng felt another wave of dizziness, and nearly lost his life.

He grabbed Song Minghao's hand. "Officer Song, are you telling the truth?"

Their voices were trembling.

Song Minghao had no suspicions; he simply felt that the other person was excited.

"It's absolutely true. These next two days are crucial. As long as Grandpa Liu wakes up, the murderer will be brought to justice. We can also get rid of two scourges."

Lu Yuan sighed, realizing he had made a mistake and alerted the enemy once again.

Given this situation, he had no choice but to bring his plans forward.

"Very good!"

He shoved Sun Changsheng aside, grabbed Song Minghao's hand, and was incredibly excited.

"Officer Song, let me tell you something, I also happen to have something to say..."

At this point, she seemed to remember her instructions, quickly covered her mouth, and looked nervously at Sun Changsheng.

His exaggerated performance successfully piqued Song Minghao's curiosity.

"Just say what you have to say."

Lu Yuan covered his mouth and shook his head repeatedly, "I can't say, the captain forbids me to say."

Sun Changsheng: !

Song Minghao glanced at Sun Changsheng, and before he could explain, asked, "Is it about the case?"

Lu Yuan laughed inwardly; this Song Gongan really knew how to ask questions.

He nodded emphatically, "Mhm."

He then looked at Sun Changsheng and hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's not."

Sun Changsheng: !!

Damn it, this isn't some village thug, he's a complete idiot.

This is blatantly obvious, like trying to hide something obvious; how could the police not see through it?

He was about to explain with an awkward smile when Song Minghao spoke up seriously.

"Captain Sun, if you make any new discoveries about the case, you can't hide them from the police. You must report them promptly and truthfully. Otherwise, it will be obstructing our official duties."

Sun Changsheng hurriedly said, "No, Officer Song, it's not that we don't want to report to you, it's just that it's not appropriate to make things up..."

Lu Yuan interrupted him, "Hey, Captain, let's just talk to Officer Song directly."

Then, ignoring the wink Sun Changsheng gave him, he said directly,

"It's like this, I've thought about it carefully these past two days, and the woman who was having an affair that day looks a lot like Zhang Yuping, who is my stepmother."

“The villagers said that my stepmother didn’t go to work at the time. I’ve been thinking about the situation a lot these past few days. That person really looks a lot like my stepmother. Anyway, she’s been brought to the commune for education and criticism by the Revolutionary Committee. You can interrogate her there.”

Sun Changsheng's face turned ashen. He had only come to the health center because he was worried that Lu Yuan wouldn't be able to control his mouth, but he hadn't expected that Lu Yuan would still blurt it out.

He was filled with both hatred and anxiety; he knew that Zhang Yuping, that woman, would not be able to withstand the interrogation.

He said, "Lu Yuan, you can't take revenge just because your stepmother reported you. This will not only increase the workload of the police, but also allow the real murderer to go unpunished."

"Captain, what do you mean? Do you think I'm that kind of person? This is what the police officers told me to do: report anything that comes to mind immediately."

"How can you be so sure that woman isn't my stepmother? Just because you say that man's build resembles yours doesn't mean I can't say anything. Anyway, that man isn't you, so what are you afraid of?"

Sun Changsheng: !!!

He truly regretted not killing the man sooner, so that he wouldn't bite him now.

Song Minghao looked at Sun Changsheng with a suspicious expression.

Sun Changsheng hurriedly clarified, "Officer Song, that man couldn't possibly be me. I came to the commune at the time, and everyone in the brigade can testify to that."

Song Minghao then looked at Lu Yuan and Sun Maodou, who was guarding the place today.

They both nodded in unison.

Song Minghao then dispelled his doubts.

He said, "Please keep an eye on Grandpa Liu today. I'll go back to the police station now to report the situation, and then go to the Revolutionary Committee to get him."

Sun Changsheng nodded repeatedly, "Officer Song, go ahead and take care of things. We'll take care of this."

As soon as Song Minghao left, Lu Yuan immediately showed an expression that he was unwilling to stay there.

"Captain, I have to go back. You know I'm repairing the house, and there's a lot of stuff waiting for me at home."

Sun Changsheng waved his hand impatiently, "Go back, you can't be of any help here."

Lu Yuan left decisively and cleanly.

Instead of returning to the village, they quickly caught up with Song Minghao.

Sun Changsheng didn't stay at the health center for more than a few minutes before making an excuse to leave.

He went straight to the Revolutionary Committee.
