1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

"Don't worry, our police station doesn't handle these kinds of things, and I won't tell anyone your secret!"

"Now can you tell me about what happened that night?"

Wang Gong's words completely relieved Zhou Yu.

"The night before last, Su, the educated youth, bought a few pounds of mutton. We stewed some bone broth, and I was thinking of taking some to my grandfather to help him recover. On my way back, I saw two tall figures leaving the village!"

"Around what time was that?"

"Between 10 and 11 o'clock, I don't have a watch and I'm not sure of the exact time!"

"Then why didn't you call for help?"

If a normal person sees someone walking through a village late at night, their first reaction would be that they've encountered a thief.

Zhou Yu's reaction is abnormal.

Zhou Yu lowered his head. "I'm sorry! I was afraid people would find out about my relationship with my grandfather, so I didn't dare call out!"

"Besides, the two figures looked a lot like Captain Zou's two sons from next door, so I didn't think much of it!"

Are you sure?

Zhou Yu shook his head, "I'm not sure, but those two men were tall and strong. Among the surrounding villages, only Captain Zou's three sons are that muscular!"

After thinking for a moment, Officer Wang asked, "Do you know what kind of feud exists between those two families?"

Zhou Yu revealed that the He family had used their child to extort money from the Zou family.

People in the surrounding villages all know about this; the police could just ask anyone and they would know.

After recording Zhou Yu's statement, Officer Wang let him leave.

Everyone in the village was questioned, and only Zhou Yu and Chen Erniang witnessed what happened that night.

Now that Zhou Yu has provided the clues, several police officers have begun investigating the Zou and He families again.

Er Laizi secretly revealed that on the day Zou Dazhuang died, He Gang had taken him to the mountains.

No one had mentioned this incident before. Everyone said that Zou Dazhuang had encountered wild animals and died on his own in the back mountain. Er Laizi's words immediately caught the attention of Officer Wang.

Public Security Officer Wang's expression hardened. "Are you sure?"

Erlaizi nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"You suspect that He Gang deliberately led Zou Dazhuang to the back mountain? But as far as I know, He Gang is Zou Dazhuang's father-in-law. Why would he want to harm Zou Dazhuang?"

Erlaizi scratched his head, looking bewildered. "I'm not sure!"

Erlaizi used to be a scoundrel in the village, and acting was a piece of cake for him.

Officer Wang's sharp eyes were fixed on Er Laizi, who felt guilty and dared not look Officer Wang in the eye.

After confirming that he couldn't get anything out of Er Laizi, Officer Wang let him leave. He rubbed his fingers against the enamel mug, feeling that something was off about the whole thing.

Whether it was Zhou Yu or Er Laizi, it was as if there was a guiding force behind them, leading them to discover the truth.

However, with the information provided by Er Laizi, the motive behind the Zou family's harming the He family was found.

Several police officers then interrogated several young men who were close to He Lin.

When Wang Gong'an questioned him, he deliberately led the conversation to the Zou family. As He Lin's best brother, Li Zhi naturally wanted to avenge his brother, so he revealed Zou Dazhuang's unusual fetish.

After learning that Zou Dazhuang had not only harmed He Qiang, but also He Lin and He Li, the details of the matter became clear.

Zou Dazhuang harmed He Lin, He Gang sought revenge for his son by targeting Zou Dazhuang, and used He Li's unborn child to extort money. It makes sense that after the child was born, the Zou family turned around and killed the He family.

Next, the Zou family will be arrested and interrogated. I believe we will soon find out the truth.

Nowadays, investigative methods are basically limited to on-site investigation and interviews. Once clues are found, people can be arrested and interrogated directly, unlike decades later when, with advanced technology, countless procedures and evidence are still required.

Although it was basically confirmed that the matter was related to the Zou family, Officer Wang was still uneasy. He always felt that there was someone behind the scenes.

For example, how did Zou Dazhuang, a person with intellectual disabilities, harm He Qiang and then He Lin?

How did he come up with the idea of ​​marrying He Li as a cover?

Nowadays, families value carrying on the family line. Even if the Zou family dotes on Zou Dazhuang, they wouldn't be so absurd as to come up with such a wicked idea for him.

He Qiang was crippled and easy to deal with, but how could He Lin, a tall man of nearly 1.8 meters, be imprisoned by Zou Dazhuang for more than a month without anyone noticing?

Besides the Zou family's cover-up, who exactly is the person hiding behind it all?

But he doesn't have the energy to investigate anymore. This matter has blown up so much that it has even alarmed the county leaders. The case must be closed as soon as possible.

He thought the case was going to remain unsolved, since two days had passed since the incident and the snow had covered much of the evidence.

I didn't expect the case to have so many clues in such a short time.

It's as if there's an invisible hand controlling this whole thing.

Wang Gong'an then asked several villagers whether Zhou Yu and Er Laizi were acquainted.

As a result, the two of them didn't have much interaction.

Finally, Jiang Chen revealed that Er Laizi and Zhou Yu had no relation, but both of them had a very good relationship with Wen Li.

Upon hearing Wen Li's name, Officer Wang paused for a moment.

It seems that everything that has happened in the village over the past year has been intentionally or unintentionally related to Wen Li.

No, there's another person—Jiang Yue'er!

Wang Gong'an's expression turned serious. If Wen Li was behind this, then this girl was terrifying!

However, the case is already quite clear; all he needs to do now is find the murderer.

As for Wen Li—regardless of whether she was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, she didn't harm anyone; on the contrary, she helped him a great deal, so he turned a blind eye.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Zou family home was silent and eerie.

Captain Zou never expected to be seen that night.

Zou the Elder: "Dad, what do we do? Someone saw us that night!"

Zou Lao Er: "It's so dark, no one should recognize us, right?"

Captain Zou was at a loss for what to do. Who knew his two sons would be so stupid that they didn't even realize they had been seen!

They could only console themselves that no one would recognize them.

But their self-deception was useless, and the police soon came knocking.

When Captain Zou opened the door, his heart jumped into his throat!

"Officer...Officer, what's this...?"

"Brother Zou, Brother Zou, someone saw you sneaking into the next village the night before last. Come with us!"

Zou Lao Er: "Dad, save me!"

Boss Zou remained relatively calm and exchanged a knowing glance with Captain Zou.

And so, Zou Lao Da and Zou Lao Er were taken away.

However, they were taken away late at night, so not many people saw it.

The next day, everyone found out about it.

Hearing that the two had been taken away, everyone sighed with regret.

The thought of Captain Zou feigning grief over Niu Niu losing her mother made everyone think he was hypocritical.

At this point, everyone also remembered the incident where the He family came to the Zou family to extort money.

How much money did the He family extort from the Zou family? Was it worth wiping out the entire He family?

I heard it costs several hundred!

"That wouldn't warrant killing both the eldest and second wives of the He family, would it?"

【Absolutely, that's too ruthless!】

The Zou family kept their courtyard gates tightly shut, and Zou's mother wept uncontrollably.

The two daughters-in-law of the Zou family felt relieved rather than saddened when they saw their husbands being taken away.
