Chapter 391 This man's death will not quell my hatred.
After separating from Lu Hu and his wife, Chu Xin and the other two went straight to the county public security bureau.
The capture of Shuanzi is the most important thing for both sides right now. Every day, a large number of police officers are dispatched to visit the public, collect clues, and analyze character profiles.
Finally, perseverance paid off. After a thorough investigation, it seemed they were about to catch Shuanzi red-handed.
The three of them had just arrived at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau when they ran into several police officers who rushed out from inside. Captain Ye happened to be leading the way.
He walked very fast and seemed to be in a hurry; it was clear that something had happened.
Zhou Yichen stopped him, "What happened?"
Captain Ye was preoccupied and genuinely didn't notice anyone approaching from the other side. He was caught off guard by the sudden block and almost got elbowed in the face.
Realizing it was Zhou Yichen, he quickly stopped his attack, his face extremely ugly. He couldn't suppress his anger and blurted out a string of curses.
"Damn it, that bastard killed someone!"
Chu Xin frowned, "Shuanzi?"
"Who else could it be but him? You all know the person who was killed; he's that Wu Lao Lai who came to report him the day before yesterday."
As Captain Ye spoke, his face grew even more sour.
"To put it bluntly, he deserves it!"
We already told him that this person was dangerous. He was rewarded for reporting the crime and should stop following up on the matter.
Hey! I never expected that Wu Laolai was such a greedy bastard who would risk his life for money. He actually tried to make money from both sides, and later he went to block Shuanzi, hoping to use the information from the police station to exchange money from him again.
He was found dead this morning at the foot of Dongshan Mountain outside the county.
Zhou Yichen's face immediately darkened.
Chu Xin was also quite angry upon hearing this. She looked up, took a few deep breaths, and then asked,
"And who told you all this?"
Captain Ye put his hands on his hips and said, "Who else could it be? His wife!"
She's such a fool. She knew her man was doing something wrong, but she didn't stop him. Now that he's dead, she comes to me crying. What good is that?
Not a single person in the family can understand human speech!
"Things have come to this point, there's no use in getting angry," Zhou Yichen said in a deep voice.
"We'll go with you!"
Captain Ye nodded, and soon the group's car drove out of the county public security bureau compound.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the foot of Dongshan Mountain, where a crowd had already gathered to watch.
Chu Xin frowned. These people arrived before the police, and who knows how much evidence they would destroy? Today's trip was probably a waste of time.
Perhaps because they had experienced war and famine, and had seen so many dead people, people today don't show much fear of the dead.
On the contrary, whenever there is a major event, they try their best to come and watch the excitement.
They got out of the car, and then a car from the county public security bureau arrived. Several police officers quickly got out and went to disperse the onlookers, seemingly already used to this kind of situation.
However, once she actually saw the scene, Chu Xin guessed that apart from Wu Laolai's wife being the first to discover it, no one else would have dared to approach.
Because the scene was exceptionally bloody, everyone's expression turned grim upon seeing it.
Wu Laolai's body had been disturbed, and judging from the remaining footprints, they should belong to his wife.
The snow is falling heavily now, and it won't be long before the footprints, like the other traces, are covered up.
The cotton clothes on the corpse were tattered, and all the blood in its body had drained away.
The smell of blood after his death attracted wild animals from the mountain, possibly wolves or wild boars. His body was dragged a long distance, and the blood-soaked soil was trampled into a muddy mess, a large patch of blood red.
Despite wearing thick clothes, Wu Laolai's body was torn and bitten, leaving few unscathed spots. His neck was almost broken, held together by only a few bits of skin and flesh.
Its head was tilted strangely, with one eye showing on half of its face, staring unblinkingly in their direction.
Chu Yunting felt nauseous. He had seen many dead people and had even killed people, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a gruesome death.
too disgusting!
Of course, some police officers actually vomited, and Captain Ye chased them outside with a sour face.
As the only woman present, Chu Xin remained calm and showed no signs of discomfort.
Captain Ye gave her a thumbs up; he was truly impressed.
Little did they know that Chu Xin had seen all sorts of disgusting things in the apocalypse, and these harmless rotten flesh and corpses were nothing to her.
She crouched down to examine the body closely and found that the fatal wounds had been destroyed by various bite marks, making it impossible to find any useful clues.
Fortunately, Wu Laolai's own wife knew where he had been, and now that he's dead, it's natural to suspect that he was murdered.
To an uninformed person, his appearance would only suggest that he had been drunk the night before and had encountered an animal coming down the mountain, which led to his death.
That would be considered an accidental death, and no one would investigate it further.
Chu Xin once again clearly realized that her opponent was a very cunning, ruthless, and extremely dangerous person.
"Looks like we've wasted our time!"
Captain Ye sighed.
Speaking of this, Zhou Yichen's expression also turned sour, but he was unwilling to abandon this line of inquiry just like that.
Have Wu Laolai's family members ever met this person?
Captain Ye knew this, and his voice was deep, “No, I’ve never seen his wife.”
That means there's absolutely no way out.
At that moment, everyone wanted to curse.
Captain Ye sighed again, called for people to come and collect the body and take it back, then looked at Zhou Yichen.
"What are your plans next?"
Zhou Yichen pondered for a moment, then glanced at the people craning their necks to look in his direction not far away, and asked:
How about changing "waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump" to "Jiang Taigong fishing"?
Upon hearing this, Captain Ye lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before quickly agreeing, "How should we proceed?"
Chu Xin withdrew her spiritual power, revealing a somewhat meaningful smile.
"Could you please casually mention in your spare time, comrades, that the suspect in this case has been reported by the public and that we have already made progress, with the people sent down from above taking over the case?"
The fact that someone as idle as Wu Laolai could notice something amiss suggests that Shuanzi's vigilance at that moment was not thorough enough, which led to his exposure.
There is no such thing as absolute secrecy in this world. If Wu Laolai can notice, there's no guarantee that a second or third person won't take a second look at him.
A meticulous person like Shuanzi would often repeatedly review the scene of such a fatal mistake to ensure his safety.
If he overthinks things, his self-doubt will intensify, and if he hears any other rumors or gossip from the outside world, he won't feel so at ease.
Captain Ye nodded, "Entrapment, I understand!"
Chu Xin looked into the distance, sweeping her gaze over the pool of bloody mud that had been covered in snow, turning it white.
Looking further up the mountain, despite the increasingly heavy wind and snow, nothing could stop her from seeing what she wanted to see. She raised her hands and clenched them into fists, her bones cracking loudly.
She said, "It's shameful that he can be so arrogant in his own country. I can't stand it. I will never be satisfied until this person is dead."
Zhou Yichen didn't speak, but looked at Captain Ye. The two stared at each other for a moment, then clasped their hands tightly together.
