Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 176 Case Clearing

An hour or two later, Zhao's daughter was also brought back by the security team.

This time, it wasn't just Zhao Xiuxiu's daughter who came in; the village head and the brigade leader of Zhao Family Village also came in together.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the atmosphere inside, the brigade leader and the village chief visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

They still vividly remembered the admonitions given to the village by the commune back then, and dared not let the higher-ups have any more designs on them.

These days, punishments from above are very severe, so severe that whether or not they can get enough to eat is entirely up to the higher-ups.

"How is it? Have you been cooperating well with your comrades?" The village chief smiled at Zhao Xiangui as soon as he came in, looking very approachable.

When Zhao Xiangui saw his cousin arrive, the tension he had been feeling gradually dissipated.

"The village chief is here! Come and sit down. Of course we'll cooperate. Our Zhao Family Village is the most law-abiding village, so we'll naturally cooperate fully with the police officers."

Zhao Xiangui's answer was interesting; he was the most law-abiding, haha.

Whose heart can be comforted?
Bai Jing raised an eyebrow and immediately ordered Xiao Jin to inspect the village chief.

Good guy, she called him.

It turns out that these two are cousins. Not only that, he even knew about what happened to Li Damei back then.

She said that no matter how many years have passed, the country's strength cannot be diminished by the small powers; someone is helping to tip them off.

No wonder, no wonder Lao Zhou and his group came so many times without finding anything; it turns out someone had notified them long ago.

Bai Jing didn't waste time with them and immediately had Zhao Xiuxiu brought before her for questioning.

She has a very developed brain; she remembers everything the three of them said, and she can spot anything amiss immediately.

Sure enough, several places were found.

“That’s not right. You said you didn’t see your sister-in-law that day, but your mother said she was cooking for you at home that day. And Comrade Zhao Xiangui also said that he had his daughter-in-law deliver water to his son who was working in the fields that day.”

"And this, clearly after the time she disappeared, why did Comrade Zhao Xiuxiu still see Li Damei and her daughter? And Comrade Zhao Xiangui, what do you mean by saying she went back to her parents' home on her own?"

Bai Jing pointed out each and every mistake in front of everyone.

Make them reinterpret all the unreasonable things.

At first, the three of them tried to fool each other by saying it was too long ago and they couldn't remember, but gradually, everyone realized something was wrong.

Zhao Xiuxiu said that she found her niece stealing food that day, so she beat her up.

Zhao Xushi also said that Li Damei was lazy, didn't work, and just lay in bed, and that she hit her with a hoe, etc.

"So, you killed both of them," Bai Jing shouted at the two men in a resounding voice.

"Not only did you kill them, but you also destroyed their bodies to cover up the crime, right?" Bai Jing's aura changed, immediately becoming oppressive.

Seeing that things were not going well, the village chief was about to speak when he was restrained by the security personnel sitting next to him.

"Shut up." The security guard's light snort sent the village chief's heart plummeting to the bottom.

He knew it was all over. The Zhao family was finished, and his cousin's family was finished.

Seeing that his parents and sister were forced to remain silent, Zhao Yong stood up and said indignantly, "Impossible! We slept in the same bed the night before she disappeared. How could I not know whether she was dead or not?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhao, who had testified for Zhao Yong that he had slept at his house all night, turned pale.

"Bullshit! You didn't go back that day; you were drinking at my house." The village chief's angry shout brought Zhao Yong back to his senses.

Okay, now I understand everything. Bai Jing didn't ask any more questions, but instead gave Xiao Jianwen a look, signaling him to take the man into custody and bring him back to the police station.

After all, this is Zhao Family Village, and it would be bad if something happened here.

A village chief was also involved.

"Alright, alright, whatever it is, let's talk about it back at the police station." Xiao Jianwen stood up and then winked at everyone.

Except for Li Mei, who joined the family later, and her child, everyone else in the Zhao family was restrained with their hands behind their backs.

Even the village chief wasn't spared.

A large crowd had already gathered outside the Zhao family's house. When the brigade leader saw that the village chief had been taken into custody, he immediately shouted.

"You can't just arrest people like that! What did the village chief do wrong? What does this have to do with the village chief? Release him right now!" The brigade leader had connections with the village chief's family, so he immediately became anxious when he saw the village chief being arrested.

Fortunately, there were many people with them today. Bai Jing gave Li Siyuan a look, and Li Siyuan immediately led Yang Lei forward, tied the captain's hands behind his back, and took him into custody.

When he came out, the villagers were puzzled, but they spontaneously surrounded him.

Without a second thought, Bai Jing pulled out her gun and fired a shot into the sky. "Police are handling a case, the public please make way!" she shouted.

As her voice faded, some unsuspecting and frightened villagers began to back away; after all, those were guns.

The village hunters may have guns, but they can't compare to this.

"We are police officers. We won't wrong anyone, but we also won't let any bad guys go unpunished." Seeing that there were still people blocking her way, Bai Jing spoke up again.

"You all had better get out of the way. Obstructing a case is a crime. You don't want to spend the Lunar New Year in jail, do you?"

Upon hearing this, some people stepped aside.

The rest are relatives from those families.

“We won’t stop you from arresting bad guys, but why are you arresting members of the Zhao family? What did they do wrong?” An elderly woman stepped forward and asked Bai Jing and the others.

Although Bai Jing didn't know her identity, she wouldn't really anger the villagers here.

"Grandma, we just need them to cooperate with some investigations. They'll be back once the investigation is over. You see, we didn't even handcuff them, did we?"

Bai Jing pointed to Zhao Yong's hand, which was being held at the front, and said to the old lady.

The old lady looked at it and saw that it was indeed as she had said.

"Why can't we talk about this in the village? Why go to the police station during the New Year? It's so unlucky." The old lady was shrewd and knew there was something fishy going on, but she couldn't just use her age to get the man released.

She already said she was there to cooperate with an investigation, so what else could she say? She couldn't very well tell them not to cooperate with the government, could she?

That was treason, and she could tell the difference in severity.

“Of course we can’t resolve this in the village. If we could, we would have done it already. Don’t worry, nothing will happen. Once things are cleared up, the innocent will be able to come back.” Bai Jing smiled at the old lady and said kindly.

After hearing her words, everyone agreed that she was right; as long as you are innocent, you should cooperate with the country.

The village chief and Zhao Xiangui had already been gagged. The brigade leader was unaware of the inside story and only did so because he was desperate to see the village chief being arrested.

We took him away because we were afraid he would cause trouble. After all, there are quite a few villagers here, and this is Zhao Family Village, where everyone is related. We couldn't just leave him to his own devices.

Therefore, it would be more reassuring to take all the leaders with us.

With a gun and Bai Jing's mouth, everyone finally managed to leave the village.

Fortunately, the police station wasn't far from here. People with empty hands pushed their carts and arrived at the police station after a while.
