Even though he was mentally prepared, Wang Fulin still felt a surge of emotions when he heard Erlaizi say that.
"Wait for what?"
"Wait... she didn't tell me what to wait for, she just told me to wait there. I saw that it was already completely dark, so I thought I'd come and ask her if I could go back."
Before I even reached the educated youth settlement, these two educated youths turned me back. You have to be my judge!
Looking at the cunning Er Laizi in front of him, Wang Fulin knew that this man was impervious to reason and only did things according to his own whims. If he didn't tell the truth now, there was no way he would tell the truth later.
However, once it is confirmed that Er Laizi was indeed called over by Wang Lan, then he can be certain that what Zhu Pandi said is basically true.
"Then go and see which female educated youth made you wait there."
He pointed in the direction of the educated youth, hoping that Erlaizi would recognize Wang Lanzhi, but Erlaizi didn't move.
“No need to look, Captain Wang. I know who it is. Her name is Wang Lan. I asked around yesterday, so I can’t be wrong.”
The moment Wang Lan heard her name called, she felt utterly hopeless.
She had clearly hidden herself and hadn't told Erlaizi her name, but she was still exposed.
Fortunately, in order to protect himself, Er Laizi did not reveal the specific details of why Wang Lan had asked him to wait there. As a result, Wang Fulin was unable to directly convict them.
With that thought in mind, she felt she had nothing left to worry about.
"You're talking nonsense! I don't even know you. When did I tell you to wait there? It's the middle of nowhere, there's nothing there but the two of us. What's there to wait for?"
Er Laizi, still with his usual carefree attitude, glanced at Wang Lan with a smile and then asked in a low voice:
"Yes, what's there to wait for over there?"
Others may not know what Wang Lan said to him, but he and Wang Lan know it all perfectly well.
So he's saying this now to threaten her.
Either they both keep this to themselves and no one knows, or they tell the truth and they all perish together.
Sure enough, it worked immediately.
Wang Lan, of course, dared not expose the matter, so she reluctantly shut her mouth and stopped refuting Er Laizi's words.
Observing their interaction, Wang Fulin understood the situation, and the accusation against Wang Lan in his mind was confirmed.
Erlaizi was still grinning at this moment.
"Captain Wang, ask her again. She's the one who told me to wait there, but she didn't tell me what I was waiting for."
So this isn't my problem anymore, right? Can I go home now? Ugh, look at the mess this has made..."
As he spoke, he stood up, dusted off his backside, and appeared to be about to leave.
"Stop right there! Did I say you could leave?"
Erlaizi turned around in surprise, staring wide-eyed at Wang Fulin, seemingly not understanding why he wouldn't let him leave.
Wang Fulin glanced at him and said coldly:
"No one is allowed to leave. Everyone stay here and wait for the police to arrive."
