Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 302 Blocked from entering the village

The purpose of using the ram horn god was finally understood by Su Miaoyi and her group after they arrived at the village entrance.

Many villagers were standing at the village entrance.

They were kept outside the village and prevented from entering.

“It’s only after you came that the village has become like this! Get out! Leave!” shouted an old man who looked to be in his eighties.

Then others chimed in.

Su Miaoyi glanced at it.

There were twenty or thirty people, and they all looked to be quite old.

Lu Zhishen frowned as he listened to these voices: "How come it was after we arrived? Did the cases of Tian De's family and Tian Dajiang and Wu An happen after we arrived?"

"Their case has nothing to do with the Goat Horn God. It was only after you arrived that the Goat Horn God began to bring down punishments. It must be because you brought misfortune!"

"How come everything was fine before, but the very night you arrived, the song of the Goat Horn God started playing!"

"Yes! It's you who brought this misfortune! Ever since you came, there hasn't been a moment of peace in the village. You patrol day and night, and the police are always in the village. It's making me anxious. I can't eat or sleep. Aren't you trying to kill this old woman?"

“It must be you who brought this misfortune. It is the will of the Goat Horn God to punish whomever he desires. Your interference will only bring greater disaster to the village. Today it is Tian Ming, but who knows who will be next?”

"For the past hundred years, the Ram Horn God has protected us and has never punished us. Why did it start as soon as you arrived? It's because the Ram Horn God doesn't welcome you! Once you leave, our lives will be back to normal!"

"Yes! Leave! Leave here! Leave now!"

"This is clearly deliberate. Someone is trying to kill us and is using the Goat Horn God to create panic. Don't be fooled!" Chu Xingrou shouted at the top of her lungs.

But there were too many of them, and she couldn't out-shout them.

"What do you know, you little brat! The Goat Horn God is a god, and He will inform everyone of His wishes in various ways. This is how He informed us! We have worshipped the Goat Horn God for generations; who would dare to use Him? He must have a death wish!"

"That's right. We have worshipped the Ram Horn God for generations, and no one would ever use the Ram Horn God to do such a thing. This is the Ram Horn God using the loudspeaker to tell us that people should be kind-hearted and not do bad things."

"Our God is teaching us, what does it have to do with you! Get out! Get out!"

“If Tian Dajiang’s family dares to kill and eat sheep, how come no one would use the sheep horn god to do evil?” Su Miaoyi asked them.

"You, you! How dare you say such disrespectful things!" The old man pointed his cane at Su Miaoyi.

"So Tian Dajiang died; this is the punishment the Goat Horn God gave him!" an old woman shouted.

Su Miaoyi looked at her: "See, right? You said it yourself. Tian Dajiang's death was the punishment of the Goat Horn God. Tian Dajiang died three years ago. According to you, the punishment of the Goat Horn God began three years ago, and we weren't here at that time!"

“You’re not here! But that guy surnamed Duan is! You’re all in cahoots! It’s because of you that the Goat Horn God has brought down divine punishment.”

After hearing their words, Su Miaoyi's expression became quite interesting.

Disbelief, confusion, how could this be? What are you talking about? All these emotions were written on his face.

Lu Zhishen didn't want to say another word.

He couldn't stand the sight of a dozen or twenty people talking together; he felt like bees were buzzing in his ears.

Especially when he can't explain the reasoning, he loses the desire to speak.

He stood to the side and called Zhao Yongliang. "We're here to assist with the case; the police are here to protect everyone," Chu Xingrou tried to explain. "Please trust us and don't be fooled by the criminals!"

"Assisting in the investigation? What have you accomplished? Has the case been solved? Not only has it not been solved, but people are still dying! What kind of assistance are you providing? And you still have the nerve to say that!"

"You guys are always loitering around the village, solving cases? What cases? We know you all too well! It's like you're repairing our road. People come and stroll around every day, come and see, and then leave. It's been almost ten years, and where's our road? Where's the road?! Where did you go to repair it? Did you go to repair it in your city?"

"You just wander around, go through the motions! You can't do anything, you can't get anything done, and then you leave in a few days! Do you really think we're uneducated, old, and don't know about your shady dealings? I may be old, but I'm not stupid! I've seen plenty of this kind of thing when I was young!"

Chu Xingrou immediately shut up.

The case of Tian Ming came about.

Although none of the three mentioned it, they were all feeling bad.

They came to investigate the case, but found nothing, and then a new case emerged.

The villagers blocked them from entering the village.

After a while, the police arrived.

If this were a young person, the police station would have taken them away immediately.

But they were all so old, they didn't dare to speak too loudly.

If they frighten someone, or if that person gets sick or something, they can't bear the responsibility.

All we can do is patiently persuade them.

But the elderly folks were very agitated and wouldn't let Su Miaoyi and her group into the village no matter what they said.

The police station simply couldn't mediate the situation.

Unable to resolve the issue on the other side, they turned their attention to Su Miaoyi and the others.

"Let's go back to town first," Su Miaoyi said.

"Okay, okay, I'll drive you three," said the police officer from the police station.

On the drive back, the police officers from the local station kept telling them, "They're all getting on in years, and sometimes their thinking is a bit old-fashioned. Don't take what they say to heart; we'll definitely criticize them."

"Do you dare to criticize?" Su Miaoyi recalled how they had just mediated.

The officer sighed, "There's nothing we can do. They're too old. Unless it's something really serious, we definitely can't detain them. If something happens, we can't afford the consequences. We're sorry to have troubled you three."

“It’s alright,” Su Miaoyi said. “We’re all in this line of work, so we can all understand. We can also understand them. With such a big thing happening in the village, everyone is panicking and feeling uneasy.”

She was talking to the police officer.

She was also upset because the case hadn't been solved in time, and she was anxious, so she could only talk to distract herself.

Chu Xingrou remained silent the entire way.

This was the first time she had encountered such a large-scale lack of respect since starting work. She heard what the elderly people were saying, and it made her feel bad.

Lu Zhishen has a strong capacity for learning, but he's overwhelmed with his senses and doesn't want to say another word right now.
　Goodnight everybody
