878: Serious case
Zhuang Huaijian: "You lost so much blood, how can this be a minor injury? Where did you go last night? Why did you come back like this? Tell me, how did you get hurt? Did you fight with someone? Who did you fight with?"
No matter how Zhuang Huaijian asked, Zhou Ziheng never said how he was injured, only saying that it was a minor skin injury.
Zhou Jingru heard the noises of several women outside and came out on crutches. Seeing the blood on his son's shirt and his bandaged arm, his expression was quite calm:
"You're brave enough to do what's right?"
"I guess so—"
"Have you caught the criminal?"
"No, he got away."
Zhou Jingru sighed, meaning that even though he was injured like this, he was still allowed to escape. It was a disgrace to the soldiers!
"Okay, don't worry, everything is fine. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes."
As he spoke, Zhou Ziheng led Yu Xiaoye upstairs.
Coming upstairs and into the room, Yu Xiaoye gently touched Zhou Ziheng's arm. After trying to hold back, she couldn't help but burst into tears:
"What happened to you? Where did you get hurt?"
Zhou Ziheng did not tell the truth to his parents, but he did not hide anything from Yu Xiaoye and said seriously:
"Li Xinchun has appeared."
Hearing Li Xinchun's name, the tears on Yu Xiaoye's cheeks froze:
"Li Xinchun, was this injury caused by Li Xinchun?"
"Um."
"How did you find him?"
"Yesterday, I asked the guards at the compound to keep an eye on You Wenyue. At night, the guard called me and said You Wenyue had gone out alone. I thought it was very likely that she was going to give Li Xinchun your address, so I went to your house in advance and hid in the kitchen under the corridor. In the middle of the night, a man sneaked up on me. I took out a rolling pin and hit him. Then, he shot me."
When Yu Xiaoye heard what had happened and that Li Xinchun actually had a gun, his breath stopped and tears began to fall.
"You knew he was dangerous, why did you take the risk alone?"
"That's the only way to catch him."
"But what if something happens to you?"
Zhou Ziheng saw Yu Xiaoye crying and smiled:
"I'm lucky, nothing will happen to me. I just didn't expect him to have a gun, otherwise I would have caught him by now."
Zhou Ziheng's tone was filled with regret, as he had missed the best opportunity to catch Li Xinchun.
But Li Xinchun had a gun in his hand at the time, and he couldn't take risks blindly. He had parents and a wife at home, and he had to be responsible for them, so he couldn't risk his own life.
Yu Xiaoye still felt a pang of pain in her heart. She didn't dare to think about what would happen at home if the bullet had missed her target and hit her body instead of her arm.
"Okay, stop crying. Help me find some clean clothes to change into. I have to go out and report the case later."
Yu Xiaoye turned around to find a towel to wipe her tears, trying her best to control herself, then found a set of clean clothes in the closet, and then went to the bathroom outside to get a basin of hot water.
Yu Xiaoye took off Zhou Ziheng's clothes and wiped his body while she couldn't help crying. She was so scared that her hands were shaking.
Wipe off the blood stains on your body and change into clean clothes.
She no longer looked so miserable, and Yu Xiaoye's tears dried up. She said with fear:
"Luckily we made preparations early. If my parents hadn't left, given Li Xinchun's gun, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"Now I finally know that he has arrived in Beijing, and I can confirm that Jiang Shang is indeed in Li Xinchun's hands. Also, You Wenyue is now willing to be Li Xinchun's lackey. Not only did she find out your home address for Li Xinchun, she also helped him deliver the address in the middle of the night."
Yu Xiaoye gritted his teeth:
"This woman is so vicious! She hates me so much that she wants to harm my entire family. Brother Heng, you can't let her go! I absolutely cannot let her go!"
"I won't let her go either. This time, she must die, along with Li Xinchun. Only when they both die can we have peace."
"But," Yu Xiaoye looked at Zhou Ziheng's injured arm again, "I don't want you to be in any danger."
"No, I know he has a gun, so I'll be extra careful. I've already reported the case to the police. This time, I'm going to expose both You Wenyue and Jiang Shang. I won't let any of them go!"
"good."
Zhou Ziheng comforted Yu Xiaoye, and Yu Xiaoye wiped away her tears and went downstairs.
Coming downstairs, Zhuang Huaijian came to ask about his son's injury again. Zhuang Huaijian realized that his son's injury was not an ordinary one, and there seemed to be some hidden secrets.
However, no matter how she asked, Zhou Ziheng refused to tell the truth.
Zhou Ziheng didn't want his parents to know that he had been shot, and didn't want his parents to worry about him, so he tried to hide it from the old couple as much as possible, and just said that he had suffered an ordinary knife wound while fighting with the gangster.
However, the truth was not hidden after all.
Before he finished his breakfast, a police car drove up to his door. This time, not only Han Gang but also the director of the Public Security Bureau came.
The public security department heard Han Gang's report that a shooting occurred in the middle of the night and the injured person was Zhou Ziheng. The murderer was a prison escaped prisoner who was sent from Beijing to the Northwest not long ago. Moreover, this case may involve Jiang Shang from the bureau and You Changsheng's daughter You Wenyue. Hearing this, Director Sun was also shocked.
Because Director Sun is Jiang Shang's immediate superior, and he was also You Changsheng's old subordinate. Now that he knows that his old leader's daughter and his subordinates are involved in a shooting case, he immediately brings people to investigate the situation.
Two police cars drove directly to Zhou Ziheng's door.
Director Sun rushed in with a group of people.
The people from the Zhou family were still sitting at the dinner table and were quite surprised to see such a big scene.
Zhou Jingru asked with a serious face:
"What's going on, Director Sun? My son was only slightly injured when fighting with the criminals, and you brought so many people to our house? What do you mean?"
Director Sun first saluted Zhou Jingru:
"Minister Zhou
"I'm sorry for being so abrupt, but this case is serious and we must come and investigate immediately!"
"Is the case serious?" Zhou Jingru and Zhuang Huaijian looked at their son together, only then did they realize that the boy was not telling the truth.
Zhuang Huaijian's old face was full of worry, he didn't know what case his son was involved in.
Although he knew that his son was an upright man and could not have committed a crime, he was still worried to the point of being breathless, with his hands covering his chest and his face turning pale.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was frightened, Yu Xiaoye quickly stood up and walked to her side. She sat beside her, put her arm around her shoulders and comforted her:
"Mom, it's okay."
"Xiao Ye, what's going on?" Zhuang Huaijian grabbed his daughter-in-law's hand.
Before Yu Xiaoye could answer her mother-in-law, Director Sun said:
"This morning, Dean Zhou was shot—"
"Gunshot wound?!"
Zhuang Huaijian and Aunt Zhang exclaimed almost at the same time.
The wound on my son's arm was not a knife wound, but a gunshot wound!
Even Zhou Jingru was shocked.
