Chapter 124 Dong Youli Kills Again
"Little Bao, she was crying and making a fuss, insisting on coming along!" Following Zhou Yang's gaze, the old woman also saw her grandson: "She didn't say where she was going, she just said she'd be back in a bit!"
Zhou Yang scanned the courtyard: "How long have you been walking? Is there any transportation available?"
Zhong Honglan's mother frowned and looked at the two of them: "Who exactly are you?"
From their conversation, she sensed that they weren't friends; their interrogation tone sounded more like a police interrogation of a criminal, which made her very uncomfortable.
"From the Ning'an Municipal Public Security Bureau, could you please answer my question?"
Zhou Yang pulled Wang Chao into the courtyard, slammed the door shut, and after Wang Chao showed his identification, began to question him directly.
"Ah... police, what do you want with Lanlan? She doesn't know anything, does she? And who said anything about our Lanlan..." Upon hearing the police's two questions, the old woman didn't answer them first, but instead started asking questions like a machine gun.
"If you keep doing this, something bad might happen!" Zhou Yang interrupted him.
"She rode off on a bicycle..." The old woman jogged into the house and glanced at the clock: "About ten minutes ago!"
Zhou Yang nodded: "They went that way? Did they go there on their own?"
"She went east, saying she'd walk along the riverbank. I saw her go that way!" The old woman pointed in a direction. "I was busy playing with Xiaobao and didn't notice!"
Zhou Yang looked around again, then left with Wang Chao.
The two headed east and soon reached the embankment, but they didn't see anything. Zhou Yang then changed locations a few more times.
"Let's go, let's drive there!" Zhou Yang turned around and jogged away.
Although Wang Chao didn't know where Zhou Yang meant by "the past," he remained silent, knowing that Zhou Yang would explain once he got in the car.
Soon, guided by Zhou Yang, the two arrived at a wheat field: "Park the car here, let's walk there!"
This place is only a few hundred meters away from the burial site of Sun Yan and Hu Hao. It can be seen after crossing another river embankment. Fearing that the car engine noise would be too loud and the other party would notice, Zhou Yang and his companion got out of the car in advance.
Zhou Yang wasn't actually sure if it was there, but he could only head there with a try-it-out attitude.
The ten-odd minutes, the rural road, and the fact that he was traveling by bicycle were the basis for his judgment. If he was wrong, there was nothing he could do.
He was human, not a god, but judging from Wang Chao's expression, he felt he had guessed correctly this time.
"Someone's speaking up ahead!" Wang Chao spoke very softly, as if afraid of startling the other person. If Zhou Yang hadn't been so close, he probably wouldn't have heard him either.
Wow, these ears are really useful.
Zhou Yang hadn't heard anything yet, but this guy could already tell that someone was there and could hear their voices.
Before he could ask anything, he heard a quarrel, and faintly, he could hear a woman's voice.
The two exchanged a glance, then moved slowly and quietly forward.
"...Brother Dong, calm down. You and Lao Qiao have been friends for so long, don't you know his character?" Slowly peeking out, Zhou Yang saw the scene clearly.
In the pit where the body had been placed, there was now a person, bound and with a cloth gag in their mouth, lying diagonally inside.
Not far from the mass grave, a middle-aged man with short hair was holding a three-edged dagger and repeatedly brandishing it at the woman and the bound people in front of him.
"Don't keep repeating the same thing. Let me tell you, it's because of our long-standing relationship that I know what kind of person he is and what he's done!"
Dong Youli!
He knew the man's identity because he had seen the fax before.
The woman opposite him was Zhong Honglan, who looked lonely and helpless as she tried to persuade him, but it was obvious that he wasn't listening at all.
Because of the angle, Dong Youli was facing away from the two, while Zhong Honglan was facing them from the side, which to some extent gave the two some convenience.
The person in the pit was obviously Qiao Songnian.
Wang Chao gave Zhou Yang a wink, the meaning was simple: each of them should control the assailant from different directions.
Just as the two were about to act, Zhong Honglan also moved. She seemed anxious to save Qiao Songnian from the pit and ran towards Dong Youli's back.
Dong Youli seemed startled by the other party's actions and subconsciously tried to put away the triangular dagger in his hand.
As luck would have it, Zhou Yang and Wang Chao were halfway through their conversation when, for a moment, six eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze for a split second.
At this moment, Zhong Honglan had just run up to Dong Youli, still some distance from the mass grave.
"Dong Youli, put down your weapon!" Zhou Yang's expression instantly turned serious as he sternly ordered the man to stop.
But it was too late. Dong Youli grabbed Zhong Honglan, grasped the middle of the triangular dagger, and pointed the tip at her chest: "Back off, back off! You two back off! If you take another step forward, I'll kill her!"
Zhou Yang frowned and looked at the scene: "Don't do anything foolish, don't make things worse!"
Wang Chao kept scanning his surroundings without answering. He was willing to fight someone, but when it came to things that required talking and thinking, he would automatically stay out of it.
"I made a mistake on top of a mistake? What the hell did I do wrong to get messed up by this old bastard..." Upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, Dong Youli broke down completely, trembling with rage.
"Brother Dong, don't be impulsive! This won't solve anything. Even if you kill me, it won't help!" Zhong Honglan's face showed fear as she twisted her body violently.
"Hmph, then I'll kill you!" Dong Youli said, turning his head to glance at the pit again. "I'll kill you and see if some old fogies will feel any pity!"
Zhou Yang's doubts grew even stronger. Several minutes had passed since he arrived, and so many things had happened in between. Why was the person he thought was Qiao Songnian not reacting at all?
Zhou Yang glanced at Wang Chao, then suddenly ran to the left rear, startling Dong Youli: "Don't move! Don't try anything funny! I really will kill someone..."
"Ah... Help! No...!" Zhong Honglan's panicked voice rang out, but soon she felt the hands that had been holding her hostage on her back disappear.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Dong Youli had been kicked two or three meters away by Wang Chao and was now lying on the ground coughing violently. It seemed that he would not be able to stand up for a while.
"...Thank you, thank you, officer..." Zhong Honglan seemed stunned. She glanced at Wang Chao, who had a smug look on his face, and then expressed her gratitude.
Wang Chao waved dismissively, took out handcuffs from behind his back, walked up to Dong Youli, flipped him over, and cuffed him with a snap: "Goodness, you think you can pull this trick on me? You haven't seen me before..."
"Brother Chao!" Zhou Yang's urgent voice came through the phone, "Get to the hospital quickly, he seems to be in critical condition!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Honglan exclaimed in surprise and rushed over. Dong Youli, who was pinned to the ground face down, also looked panicked: "Impossible, impossible, how could this be?"
