Xu Zhen looked at the tragic scene in front of him and felt helpless, dizzy and dizzy.
Although the last open fire had been extinguished, the villagers who rushed to put out the fire continued to pour water into the house.
The charred house was emitting thick, choking smoke, the beams were crackling, and it was not known when they would collapse.
"Woooo..."
At this time, an old woman's cry attracted Xu Zhen's attention.
Facing the charred house, she stamped her feet and beat her chest, crying bitterly: "Ai Lian, my poor child, your life is so miserable, wuwuwu..."
After hearing the old woman's words, Xu Zhen already understood that he was still late.
The burning house in front of me is where the old man and his daughter Ailian live.
It seems that, like the old man, Ailian was also silenced!
The men all looked downcast and sighed.
boom……
When he looked back, he saw that the entire house had been turned into ruins. Ailian's body was also destroyed by the collapsed beams.
Before that, he didn't even know that the old man had gone to the Yamen to complain, but in the blink of an eye, he could kill the old man and his daughter accurately at the same time, which seemed a bit exaggerated.
But now it seems that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time.
As soon as this statement came out, many villagers immediately gathered around to watch.
Obviously, this is a couple, and the woman takes the man away because she doesn't want the man to cause trouble.
If it is true that Qiu Batian did not do this case, then why would Ailian think that Qiu Batian did it, and who was she kidnapped and raped?
At this moment, a shrill scream of a man suddenly came from the charred house.
Xu Zhen, with quick eyesight and quick hands, rushed to the scholar's side as quickly as possible and pulled him backwards with all his strength.
When the old woman said this, the villagers were all filled with indignation. Some of them couldn't help but say:
"Master, there is no need to ask. The person who killed Ailian must be Qiu Batian. Go and catch him!"
Xu Zhen rushed over after hearing the sound. Through the burned-out house, he saw a man dressed as a scholar, kneeling in the center of the house.
From the old woman's narration and the posture of the corpse, he could basically judge that Ailian was probably killed by the gangsters first, and then set on fire and destroyed the body.
The scholar collapsed and knelt down again, crying on the ground...
Xu Zhen even doubted whether the person who kidnapped and raped Ailian was Qiu Batian?
If he really did it, why did his servants act so ignorant?
"Grandma," someone asked the old woman urgently at this time, "are you sure that Ailian was burned to death?"
Although he collapsed to the ground, he clenched his fists and shouted with compassion: "Qiu Batian! Worse than an animal! God and man will be killed together! Even if I risk my life, I, Liu Wenbin, will fight to the end for him.
Ailian takes revenge!"
"Ah? The government?" The old woman rushed to the front in panic, pulled Xu Zhen excitedly and said, "Sir, you... you must avenge Ailian! Ailian was killed.
Yes, she...her life is so miserable, wuwuwu..."
The heavy impact stirred up a cloud of hot smoke, and Xu Zhen and the villagers dragged the scholar far away before reaching a safe area.
First of all, isn’t Qiu Batian’s speed of silence a bit too fast?
Because the villagers were so excited that they didn't know that the old man had been killed in the Yamen Prison.
Once they learn this news, they will definitely think that the government and Qiu Batian are colluding, which will be detrimental to them.
As a result, as soon as he pulled the person away, the heavy beam collapsed instantly, hitting the charred corpse!
"Hey, you don't want your life!?" Unexpectedly, a middle-aged woman rushed out from the side and dragged the man who spoke out.
But……
"Yes," at this time, another man stood out from the crowd, straightened his back and said, "This is simply lawless. Such a villain must not be spared lightly!"
"Yes, it's... Qiu Batian! Who else could it be besides him?" Finally, under the leadership of the scholar, the old woman said angrily and excitedly, "There is no justice! Ai Lian is such a good person.
The child was not only ruined by them, but also abandoned in the busy city like that. Now... when I saw Old Man Li going to report to the official, he actually killed another person! Is there still... is there any justice in heaven? Is there still king's law!? "
And... the traces of corpse burning and destruction are still so shocking.
The scholar's face was charred and exhausted from fighting the fire, but he collapsed on the water-stained ground, crying toward something: "Ai Lian... Ai Lian..."
When the scholar cried like this, many female villagers present could not restrain themselves and began to cry too.
"The world is collapsing, and people's hearts are no longer the same. Tigers and wolves are in power, and injustice will cause grievances!" Suddenly, an extremely sad, angry and excited voice came from the crowd.
Poof!
Xu Zhen was thinking carefully, but someone in the crowd recognized Xu Zhen's identity as a police officer.
And Qiu Batian's angry reaction... Could it be that... he has nothing to do with the case at all?
This thing... is strange!
Xu Zhen was suddenly in a dilemma. He originally wanted to get more information about Ailian and his daughter through these villagers, so as to sort out the case.
"Yes, sue the officials, sue the officials..." the villagers echoed in unison.
Xu Zhen entered the house with other villagers who were fighting the fire, and then saw a body lying in front of the scholar - a burnt corpse!!!
"Ai Lian... Wu Wu..." The scholar stretched out his hands tremblingly, but faced with the burnt corpse, he had no way to start, "You died so miserably... Ai Lian, Wu Wu..."
People have reason to suspect that the culprit who killed the old man and his daughter must have been sent by Qiu Batian.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking from the beam above the head, and it was about to collapse. Once it collapsed, the scholar would definitely die.
"ah……"
Because corpses burned to death by fire usually curl up in a painful and twisted state, but the corpse I saw just now was lying flat on the ground. It is possible that the person was already dead before the fire burned.
According to normal logical analysis, the biggest suspect in the death of the old man and his daughter is naturally Qiu Batian, who committed the kidnapping and rape case!
Hearing the scholar's mournful cries, all the villagers present felt sad and bowed their heads silently.
Could it be...
"Ah?" The villagers were shocked. "In that case, it's not an accidental fire. This... this is deliberate arson. This is murder!"
Through the summons to Qiu Batian and numerous signs, Xu Zhen felt that there were many puzzling doubts in the case.
Well...
Now, the old man who complained is dead, and the daughter who was the main witness is also dead, which means this kidnapping and rape case has become a murder case without a head.
"Lord Officer," suddenly, the old woman grabbed Xu Zhen's sleeve and begged, "you have seen how miserable Ailian died. Please make the decision for this miserable child and give her a life."
It’s fair!”
Although Xu Zhen was equally excited, sad and angry, many doubts arose in his mind.
"Official officer, you came just in time," the scholar stood up excitedly, "I... I will write a complaint right away and write down all Qiu Batian's crimes. You can take us to sue the official!"
Seeing the man being dragged away by his wife, the others wanted to join in, but all of them closed their lips tightly and did not dare to speak out.
Click!
"Yes, sir," other villagers also gathered around and said, "If such evil people cannot obey the law, it is really against the laws of nature..."
"Yes," finally, the villagers remained silent and all raised their arms, echoing passionately and indignantly, "It's Qiu Batian, we can't spare him!"
As everyone moved away, they saw that it was the scholar who said this.
"Captain?" Someone pointed at Xu Zhen and said, "Are you a cop? Everyone, come and see, the government police are here..."
In the eyes of these villagers, Qiu Batian is synonymous with the Lord of Hell, and no one dares to talk nonsense.
"Ah..." The scholar struggled in Xu Zhen's arms, stretching his hands towards the body, still crying, "Ai Lian... Ai Lian..."
Amid the roar, fire broke out again in the room, and smoke suddenly rose.
"Woooo..." the old woman cried loudly, "I don't know either! Her father went to the Yamen to complain, so he invited me to look at Ailian, fearing that she would not be able to think about it. But I didn't expect it. Someone knocked me out just now.
When I woke up, the fire...the fire was already on fire! Ailian...wuwu..."
Secondly, if Qiu Batian wanted to silence her from the beginning, why would she abandon Ailian naked in a busy city?
Moreover, you have to take huge risks and poison the old man to death in the Yamen prison? This seems even more contrary to common sense.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen could only comfort him: "Dear villagers, I was just passing by this place and saw a fire here and came to put out the fire.
"Let's do this. I will go to the Yamen to report the grievances you mentioned truthfully! I will go now..."
After saying that, Xu Zhen withdrew from the crowd and left the place as if he was running away...
