Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

"Comrade police, don't listen to his nonsense. We don't intend to do anything to him at all. It's just because a female educated youth in the village killed her husband's family. We are afraid that the journalists don't know the truth and will go back and report false reports, tarnishing the image of our team. So we want to explain to them. We really don't want to hurt them, I swear, I really don't!" The villager who was closer hurriedly defended himself, pointing to the sky and shouting, as if what he said was absolutely true.

"You're talking nonsense! As soon as those old people from your village came, they pushed all the educated youth to the ground. You will definitely not let us go!" The reporters would never believe his words. They immediately retorted him. He then said to the police, "We can't delay any more. We really can't delay any more. Police comrades, we don't know what happened to those educated youth. Go and save them!"

Seeing that he was really nervous, the police could not help but believe him. The senior policeman in charge arranged two people to protect the reporter, and then said to the others, "The rest of you should form groups of four and spread out to find people quickly. Remember, safety first. Once you find the target, blow the whistle immediately! If anyone resists... you are allowed to shoot."

"Got it!" Many people came today because Lin Zhiqiu said on the phone that he had killed more than ten people, so the police station sent out all the people who had no important matters. Including the leader, there were a total of 18 policemen. The 17 people responded in unison and loudly, which frightened the villagers so much that they dared not move.

"Pile, what should we do now?"

"What should I do? You ask me, who should I ask? Damn, how come these policemen came so quickly..."

"It's over now, Pile, you mentioned that incident a few years ago..."

"Shut up! If you don't know how to speak, don't say anything. Don't fucking hurt me!"

The police quickly dispersed, and the two people responsible for protecting the reporters pointed their guns directly at the villagers in front of them, using practical actions to warn them not to act rashly.

The villagers couldn't do anything about them, so they had to sit down, surround them, and continue to watch.

The reporter also sat down. He was the one responsible for taking pictures. When he was running just now, he had been holding the camera tightly and didn't dare to let go. It was like running a long distance with a heavy load. Now that he can finally take a break, shouldn't he relax?

Just then, there was a noise coming from the straight road not far ahead. A man made a sharp turn and then ran straight towards this side. Behind him, pigs grunted and cows mooed, and they also turned and followed him in a crooked manner.

Then there was a gunshot, and the people sitting on the ground fell to their feet instantly.

The two policemen had just relaxed a little, but immediately became tense again.

Then a violent curse followed, "I told you to run, damn it, I told you to run, if you run again, I will break one of your legs today!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who was shouting turned out from the intersection with a gun in hand, and was exposed under the eyes of the police comrades.

The reporter's eyes lit up when he saw his companion, but the gunshot scared him so much that he almost stopped. However, victory was just ahead, and anyone who stopped would be a fool! He didn't believe that the bastard behind him dared to shoot him in front of the police.

He didn't dare? How could he not dare? ! They were just two policemen. If what happened today was really exposed, their construction team would be finished! Although Zhuang Aimin looked stupid on weekdays, he was taught by his grandmother since he was a child. Even if he couldn't learn other things, at least he could understand his grandmother's eyes. He knew that his grandmother would not allow those old things to be exposed, so he had to stop it.

He aimed his gun directly at the reporter who was still running forward, then pulled the trigger, "Bang!"

"Stop!" the two policemen on the opposite side shouted to stop him.

The next second, one of the policemen also pulled the trigger and shot Zhuang Aimin in the thigh.

The reporter was not shot, but the cow, which was bumped by other companions while running, was shot in the hind hip. It let out a painful cry and ran faster. Two pigs in the front were kicked away, fell off the track and fell on both sides of the road. The instigator overtook the reporter and went straight to the villagers in the middle.

"Oh oh oh oh!! Get out of the way, get out of the way, the cow has been hit! It's crazy!" The villagers were so scared that they jumped off the road in a panic and stepped on the ridges of the fields to avoid the injured cow.

The police and reporters there also immediately moved away.

The second reporter, who originally thought he was unlucky and would be stopped, took advantage of Niu Niu's help and successfully reunited with his colleagues.

The other pigs and cows were still running on the road.

Zhuang Aimin was lucky enough not to be hit. He ran closer, raised his rifle and said to the two policemen, "Comrade, please hand these two people over to us. This is an internal problem of our construction team. We really don't want to cause trouble for you."

"What internal problems, huh? What internal problems require you to solve them by shooting? You are a very brave man. You even dare to shoot in front of us police officers. Do you think that we are afraid of you just because you are in numbers?" The policeman was also amused by anger. Although the people in the north are tough and there are many people who fight with the police, there are very few people like Zhuang Aimin who are brave enough to shoot.

"Then it's not convenient to tell you two, comrade. I know you are here to investigate the case of the Zheng family's death. We have already helped to catch the murderer, so you see, isn't it good for us to help each other? We help you catch people, and you also..." Zhuang Aimin said it so frankly, as if he was really doing something good.

"What are you going to do if I don't help?" The police comrades immediately raised their guns and aimed at Zhuang Aimin.

Zhuang Aimin's smile suddenly disappeared, "Then I can only catch it myself." As he said that, he was about to take a step forward.

“Stop!!” Suddenly, several voices came from behind. They were other policemen who turned back after hearing the gunshots.

When the villagers on the ridge of the field saw the ten policemen pointing guns and shouting, they were so scared that they all raised their hands.

Zhuang Aimin paused in his forward movement, turned his head with some confusion, and was so frightened that he couldn't hold his rifle steadily.

So they weren't just two people coming?

Fortunately, he didn't ask out loud, otherwise the police would have laughed at him for being stupid. More than a dozen people died, and there were two policemen. How could they get the bodies back? This was a murder case! The bodies had to be examined before they could be buried. How long would it take for two people to examine them?

Just as Zhuang Aimin was looking at the situation, a policeman in front of him rushed over quickly and kicked him in the abdomen. Then, as he fell, he snatched his rifle and threw it aside, then pressed him to the ground.
