Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

After thinking for a while, he said, "You should go back to the Youth Hostel first. You better not know about this."

They thought it was difficult to be too straightforward with the two girls, Lu Xiaotao and Fan Lanfang, and they didn’t want them to go there, or they would be scared again…

But Lu Xiaotao was still worried about Wan Xue and didn't want to go back. Her aunt had no choice but to tell her where Wan Xue was and not say anything else.

The two thanked the aunt who spoke to them and ran towards the scene of the accident.

Fortunately, they were holding each other's hands and were mentally prepared, otherwise they would have fallen. Even so, they were frightened to the point of nausea and ran to the side to retch.

The smell of blood was really too strong, and the flashlight just shone on Liu Tan's bloody face.

Wan Xue didn't make any move. Maybe she didn't see the two of them coming, or maybe she was just thinking about how to respond to the police's questions later.

Her eyes fell on the change on the ground and she clenched her palms.

She had never had the chance to take the money away, so how would she explain it if she was asked? She had exchanged the money with Lv Xiaotao and Fan Lanfang, and she would know it once she asked.

No, she had to say that the money was used to exchange things with the villagers, but was snatched away by Liu Tan. She took the opportunity to smash Liu Tan to death when he was picking up the money.

Yes! That's how she explains it if you ask her about money.

Wan Xue went through the various questions that the police would ask and how to answer them several times in her mind. She had to make sure that she was just a victim and had done nothing wrong. Even the killing of Liu Tan was an accident and not intentional.

"This, this, Village Chief, what happened..." Lu Xiaotao was braver than Fan Lanfang. Although her face was still pale, out of concern for Wan Xue she still mustered up the courage to come over and ask what happened.

Was Wan Xue really murdered? And who was the dead person? Was it really Liu Tan?

Lu Xiaotao's mind was in a mess and she couldn't speak clearly.

"You two should go back quickly. There is nothing for you to do."

The village chief didn't expect that the people from the Youth Home would come to look for him. He thought they would really cause trouble. What would he do if they came here? Who would send them back? At the same time, he was worried. Why didn't Bai An's family bring the police back?

"Oh." Lu Xiaotao thought the village chief was talking about her and Wan Xue, so she agreed twice and was about to take Wan Xue back to the Youth League Home.

Jiang Jingcheng walked over and blocked Lu Xiaotao's way, preventing her from passing.

He knew that he had to protect the scene and not let anyone get close before the police arrived.

"Jiang... Jiang... Comrade Jiang, why... are you stopping us?" Lu Xiaotao stuttered.

"The village chief said that the educated youth cannot go back until the police arrive."

village head"……??"

If the location wasn't wrong, he would have wanted to ask Jiang Jingcheng when he said this.

"But the village chief just told us to go back."

"The village chief said that you and Fan Zhiqing should go back, and Wan Zhiqing has to wait here for the police to arrive."

Jiang Jingcheng kindly explained to Lu Xiaotao.

Lv Xiaotao knew that she had misunderstood, so she didn't move forward. But she still stood there and looked at Wan Xue worriedly. Although Wan Xue had put her clothes in order, she could still see that she was being bullied.

"How could this happen?" Lu Xiaotao covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.

This time Jiang Jingcheng didn't answer her, and even Wan Xue didn't react to Lu Xiaotao's words.

Seeing this, the village chief did not urge Lu Xiaotao to go back. As long as she did not cause trouble and was not afraid, she could stay here.

Fan Lanfang was still retching on the other side. She really couldn't bear to watch this kind of scene. The smell made her feel nauseous and she didn't dare to get close.

Not long after, the captain came back on a bicycle, followed by two police officers, who were sweating profusely.

There have been a few murders in recent years, but this is the first time that an educated youth has killed someone. The police on duty rode their bikes over here after hearing what the captain said.

Seeing the police coming, the village chief went over to them and told them what had happened.

"Were you at the scene just now?" asked a tall and thin policeman.

"No, I'm the village chief of Jiangjia Village. The villagers called me here after the incident. They were afraid that they would interfere with official business, so they sent them back. If you have any questions, you can ask him. He was also here at the time." The village chief pointed at Jiang Jingcheng.

The village chief drove the villagers back not only because he was afraid that they would cause trouble, but also because the villagers had never seen the police. When the police asked them what they had seen, they would not be able to answer clearly. It was better to let them go back.

The reason why Jiang Jingcheng was kept was because the village chief knew him.

Jiang Jingcheng explained what happened in just a few words.

"At that time, only one person said that he saw Wan Zhiqing throwing stones at people. The others, including me, arrived later. If you want to ask, I can take you there. No one has approached the scene." Jiang Jingcheng didn't say anything else.

However, the tall and thin policeman still thought he was a good candidate and knew not to let anyone get close to the scene, so he couldn't help but reveal an expression of approval.

"Zhang Zheng, you stay here to investigate the scene. I'll go to the witness's home with this little brother to ask."

"Yes, Captain Guan." The policeman named Zhang Zheng used a flashlight to check the things at the scene.

The police, called the Guan Team, followed Jiang Jingcheng to Second Aunt Wu's house. Second Aunt Wu was the one who had competed with Song Shuangshuang to ride on the donkey cart and was chased off by Grandpa Wu.

She saw it all at the time, and the shock was so great that she was trembling all over and her legs were weak. She even had to be helped back home by someone else. Now she was lying on the kang at home, chanting "Amitabha" and praying that Liu Tan would not come to find her.

The village chief's words were meant to scare others, but Aunt Wu took them seriously.

Aunt Wu's husband, Wu Laoer, tried to comfort her at first, but then he became annoyed when he saw that she had been nagging for an hour and hadn't fallen asleep yet.

"Where did your usual aggressiveness go? The village chief said that the man came to scare you and told you to go home quickly. That male educated youth is dead, so how could he come to find you? Be careful that someone will come to arrest you and accuse you of being feudal and superstitious.

You should go to bed quickly, because you have to go to work tomorrow."

Aunt Wu was still curled up on the kang, muttering to herself, and had no response to what Old Man Wu said.

Just at this time, Jiang Jingcheng and Captain Guan came to knock on the door, frightening Aunt Wu and screaming

"Ahhh!!!"

The scream also frightened Wu Laoer, who thought that it might be the dead male educated youth who had come.

Wu Laoer swallowed his saliva, plucked up his courage, and went out to open the door in his slippers.

"Who is it?" Listening carefully, his voice was trembling.

"Uncle Wu, it's me, Jiang Jingcheng."

Wu Laoer then breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door, but when he opened the door, he was stunned.

This, this, this... Why are the police here? His wife is still muttering in the room. They must be arrested by his wife. He was just talking casually just now.

"Father-in-law, public security, public security comrade, comrade..." He couldn't say the rest of the words.

Captain Guan understood why the village chief sent the onlookers back home. There was nothing they could say.

When I went to other villages to handle cases before, the villagers’ reactions were similar to this guy’s, but they didn’t stutter so much. I guess they were scared by seeing the murder.

He could also understand that the scene just now was indeed a bit bloody.
