Just as Zhou Tiezhu was about to take people to settle accounts with the Zhao family, Lin Tongxi hurriedly stopped him.
Damn, why do these people always like to talk about surnames?
If the situation is not handled properly, the two groups will start fighting again.
"I don't think it was someone surnamed Zhao who did this. Even if it was, it was done by some scumbag."
"Everyone, go ahead and look for him, but don't mention his last name, or he might take the opportunity to escape."
Li Wenyuan also nodded and echoed Lin Tongxi: "Young Master Tongxi is right. The purpose of our trip is to find the thieves, not to provoke conflicts. Everyone must pay attention."
"Everyone, I suggest that some of the brothers with the surname Li stay here, and then the other brothers with the surname Li and brothers with other surnames go to search for the thieves. What do you think?" Chen Yunxuan made a suggestion.
"No problem! Let's look for it quickly!" Zhou Tiezhu said, and quickly took people to search.
At this moment, Su Ruoxue and others also rushed over.
"Tongxi, Chenxuan, what happened?" Su Ruoxue asked.
Lin Tongxi explained, and then suggested that Su Ruoxue go and take a look: "By the way, Sister Ruoxue, see if you can get any information to help us understand the situation."
"Well, leave it to me. Be careful when you catch the thieves, don't get hurt." Su Ruoxue warned.
After the three men finished their instructions, they split into two groups.
Lin Tongxi followed the villagers to where the Zhao family gathered and began knocking on doors one by one.
"Brother Tiezhu, what's going on?" The first person to open the door was Zhao Gengnian, who had spoken up for Shi Chunlan today.
"A rapist attacked Widow Li at night and has now fled to your place. We need to search him." Zhou Tiezhu said while holding a lantern.
Zhao Gengnian opened the door, showed them the room, and said, "Look, it's up to you. There's no one here anyway."
Lin Tongxi went in and looked around, and found that there was indeed no one there, so he left.
"Wait, I'll come too." Zhao Gengnian straightened his clothes and picked up the lantern.
Others were also looking for it, but conflicts arose when they reached Zhao Sangui.
"Mr. Li, who are you scolding?"
"Why? Can't you tell me your last name is Zhao?"
Zhou Tiezhu quickly stopped both of them and interrupted them, saying, "What are you arguing about? Go find the rapist somewhere else."
"Brother Sangui, we are looking for a rapist, so we may be a little irritable." Zhou Tiezhu put his arm around the other's shoulders.
"Oh, come on, I understand. It's just that the guy named Li came up and scolded me with a strange look on his face. I was woken up and it was good enough for me to get up and open the door for him!" Zhao Sangui had an indignant look on his face, and was obviously disgusted with the rude behavior just now.
After complaining, Zhao Sangui's resentment gradually subsided, and he then said that he would join the search: "I will look for it with you. I can't sleep well with such a thing happening in the village. Oh, and you have to find Zhao Shouzhong and the others to calm the situation. Not all members of the Zhao family are as easy to talk to as I am."
"Yes, I almost forgot about this!" After Zhou Tiezhu said this, he took Zhao Sangui to find Zhao Shouzhong and others.
Zhao Deshan, the patriarch of the Zhao family, was still asleep. Not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by a hurried knock on the door, so he asked his wife to open the door.
The person knocking on the door was his youngest son Zhao Chuangdong. As soon as the door was opened, he rushed into the house and told Zhao Deshan about the night attack on Widow Li.
Zhao Deshan was suddenly awakened by anger when he heard this. He slapped the cabinet beside him and said angrily, "How could such a shameless thing happen in the village! It's a pity that my legs are broken, otherwise I would dig three feet into the ground to find this lecher!"
"Dad, you just have a good rest. We young people can handle it. The eldest brother has already brought the Zhao family to follow Brother Tiezhu to look for him." Zhao Chuangdong picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water for Zhao Deshan.
Zhao Deshan took the water and took a sip, but he was still upset. He then asked Zhao Chuangdong to go with him to look for it.
At the same time, the villagers were still searching for the rapist.
After searching for a while, they found Zhao Yongfeng's home.
"Knock, knock, knock--" The knocking on the door continued, but Zhao Yongfeng still didn't open the door.
"Yongfeng, what are you doing? Why don't you open the door?" Zhao Sangui knocked impatiently.
"If you don't open the door, don't blame us for breaking in!" Zhou Tiezhu rubbed his hands together, ready to kick the wooden door open.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Yongfeng finally came out shirtless, sweating profusely. He asked, "Alright, alright, what do you want from me?"
"You are sweating all over...what's going on?" Zhao Sangui felt very strange when he saw Zhao Yongfeng's upper body sweating profusely.
"Ah...it's okay, it's just that the weather is too hot." Zhao Yongfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, but as soon as he wiped it, the sweat came out again.
The room was also rather messy, as if something was hidden there.
Someone whispered something to Zhou Tiezhu, and he immediately ordered someone to hold Zhao Yongfeng down: "Zhao Yongfeng looks suspicious, let's arrest him first!"
"Hey! Why are you arresting me?" Zhao Yongfeng was caught by two strong men and taken out of the house for guarding.
Zhou Tiezhu took people in to search, but after a long search, they still couldn't find the all-black clothes. The room was in a mess.
"Tell me! Where did you throw your black clothes?" Zhou Tiezhu grabbed the other person head-on and questioned him.
"Black clothes? What are you talking about?" Zhao Yongfeng was confused, ashamed and angry.
"Still quibbling? Let me tell you straight, were you the one who attacked Widow Li at night?" Zhou Tiezhu glared at Zhao Yongfeng, trying to find evidence in his eyes.
But Zhao Yongfeng didn't evade his gaze. Instead, he asked in shock, "What? Widow Li? Are you talking about Sister Ningxiang? Who attacked at night?"
