Xiao Yihan looked at the dead Xiaoyu, his heart filled with shock and anger. He took a deep breath, "It seems that Qiao Rucheng is trying to kill everyone in the Youth House."
He turned his gaze to Sun Xiaojun and Captain Guo and ordered, "Immediately organize personnel and notify Secretary Du to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Qingshan Brigade. Pay special attention to checking the wells and water tanks in the homes. There must be no omissions."
Captain Guo and Sun Xiaojun responded and acted quickly, organizing the soldiers to conduct a careful search and inspection of the Qingshan Battalion to ensure everyone's safety.
In the next few hours, the entire village was mobilized, and the militia and the People's Liberation Army did not spare any corner, every wall, and every door.
They also tested the water from all the village wells and the food in the kitchens, trying to find any unusual substances or devices.
Because Qiao Rucheng did not enter the rooms of other educated youth, Xiao Yihan asked all the educated youth to return to their rooms temporarily and let them out after the safety hazards were eliminated.
Chu Jingqiu also took Jiang Jiang back to her room. Although Qiao Rucheng died at the door of her room, Chu Jingqiu did not feel scared.
Just as Captain Guo and his men were busy checking, Xiao Jin came back with several soldiers who had been responsible for protecting the educated youth site.
Xiao Yihan's face turned grim as he questioned, "I asked you guys to be responsible for the safety of the educated youth site, and you actually deserted your posts? What were you doing out there?"
A tall, thin soldier shouted, "Report to the regiment commander, just now Captain Du's wife Zhang Pingping ran over and told us that Qiao Rucheng shot and killed several of us in the pine forest on the mountain.
Captain Du has captured him, but you and Captain Qi were both seriously injured. She asked us to go over and provide reinforcements as soon as possible.
She also said that she quickly went to inform her sister-in-law and asked her to go over to take care of you. We didn't recognize that she was Qiao Rucheng in disguise at the time. She really looked exactly like Captain Du's lover, even the voice was the same.
We were in a hurry at the time and didn't suspect anything, so we ran over in a hurry. But when we got there, we found that there was no one there. We realized that we might have been tricked, so we ran back in a hurry. We met Xiao Jin on the way and found out that something had happened at the educated youth site.
Commander, this is our fault, please punish us!"
Xiao Yihan's expression softened considerably, and he waved his hand, "No need for that. Fortunately, no adverse consequences were caused, otherwise you guys would be to blame.
This Qiao Rucheng is too cunning. It's hard for ordinary people to see through his disguise. Go outside and help Captain Guo and the others search!"
Xiao Yihan and Qi Yue walked into Chu Jingqiu's room together. Chu Jingqiu had just sprayed some disinfectant in the room and was lighting sandalwood to cover up the smell of blood.
The two of them had just run back to the educated youth site and had been busy outside for a long time. They had not even had time to drink a sip of water, but Chu Jingqiu had already made a pot of tea.
Qi Yue picked up the teacup and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, I heard that when we came back, you were fighting with Qiao Rucheng. How did you find out that he was not Zhang Pingping?"
Chu Jingqiu saw Xiao Yihan finish his cup of tea, so he poured him another cup. "When I didn't know Qiao Rucheng also knew how to disguise himself, I kept thinking these days, if I were Qiao Rucheng, how would I get to the educated youth camp and complete my revenge plan without anyone knowing.
I thought that he might use a knockout potion to knock me out and take me away when everyone was asleep at night, and then take the opportunity to take revenge on the educated youth who had a grudge against him.
I also thought that he could also use methods such as luring the tiger away from the mountain and taking advantage of the situation to implement his revenge plan.
It wasn't until Yi Han told me that he could disguise himself that I started to think that if he were to disguise himself, he would definitely find someone of similar height and weight to him.
If his target was me, he would definitely disguise himself as someone I am familiar with. Shi Aihong is a bit fat, and although Lin Zishan is thin, she is only about 160 cm tall.
Qiao Rucheng is estimated to be around 172cm tall. The only person who fits this height and weight is Zhang Pingping, so he had to disguise himself as Zhang Pingping to avoid being discovered."
Qi Yue finished a cup of tea and poured himself another. He curled his lips and said, "Hey, I thought you had a keen eye and knew it was Qiao Rucheng just by looking at his face. It turns out you guessed it too!"
Xiao Yihan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Qi Yue, could you please let Xiao Qiu finish her words before you interrupt? How do you know she didn't notice? I think she can definitely tell that it's a disguised face."
Qi Yue said with a wicked smile, "Brother, I haven't said anything yet, and you're already defending me. I guess you have to be more careful with your words in the future. You must never say anything bad about your sister-in-law, or you might make things difficult for me anytime!"
Chu Jingqiu smiled and shook his head, "Qi Yue, it's precisely because I often make such inferences that when I encountered this emergency, I didn't fall into Qiao Rucheng's trap all of a sudden.
Actually, how should I put it? At the beginning, I also believed Qiao Rucheng's lies. Because no matter how strong one's mentality is, when faced with major changes in their loved ones, there will be times when they panic and make mistakes.
For example, surgeons generally avoid operating on family members because facing their loved ones may affect their professional judgment and technical skills.
When performing surgery on your loved ones, you may make mistakes due to nervousness causing your hands to tremble.
Some even perform the surgery too meticulously in pursuit of perfection, which results in the operation taking too long or the procedure being too complicated.
So when I first heard Qiao Rucheng say that Yi Han was seriously injured, my mind went blank and I didn't have the mind to think about anything else. I just wanted to see him as soon as possible and see with my own eyes that he was safe and sound.
It was because he had previously deduced that Qiao Rucheng might disguise himself as Zhang Pingping, so when he saw Zhang Pingping suddenly appear, he naturally became alert.
Especially when I saw her running towards me with sweat all over her face, my suspicion of her deepened.
We know that Zhang Pingping is pregnant. She and Du Yueming went to the health center for a check-up today. They usually don't come back at this time.
And no matter how urgent the matter was, Du Yueming would never let a pregnant woman run over to inform me, so I looked at her face carefully.
"From the skull, you can tell that this is not Zhang Pingping's face at all, but a disguised face, so I knew right away that he was Qiao Rucheng in disguise."
Qi Yue nodded. He gave Chu Jingqiu a thumbs-up and praised her, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing. I don't think I would have been able to identify that 'Zhang Pingping' was actually Qiao Rucheng in disguise so quickly if it were me."
Chu Jingqiu smiled sheepishly, "I just draw a lot of portraits, so I'm more skilled at it. So how did you guys notice the anomaly and show up at the educated youth site in time?"
