37: A plot twist! Tazhai Village is surrounded!
Lin Shengwen couldn't hold back and blurted out.
At this, Wang Fan was utterly terrified: "Damn it, are you crazy?"
"My Brother and I didn't provoke you guys, did we?"
Su Yun remained silent.
He observed.
After Lin Shengwen spoke those words so directly.
The villagers' reactions were flat.
It felt as if getting rid of two people was as simple as getting rid of a cat or dog.
It seems they've done this sort of thing often, haven't they?
Force of habit... "Get down."
"Shengwen, you don't have a say here yet."
The Village Director frowned slightly.
"Young Brother."
"Tell me, why did you suddenly come to my Tazhai Village?"
"Just traveling, passed by by accident..."
"That's a bit hard to believe, isn't it!?"
The Village Director didn't believe it.
He had gone back and thought it over carefully.
The reason he suddenly made such a decision was twofold:
Firstly, the two came looking for a farmhouse to stay at.
After being rejected, why did they then sneak in to find the Village Committee?
Secondly, the live broadcast of the show, this 'Number 54' was very suspicious.
The Village Director learned: This guy often likes to deal with corpses!
Regardless of whether Tazhai Village's secret would be discovered... Su Yun's arrival made the Village Director uneasy.
"Oh dear..."
Su Yun scratched his head, his face full of helplessness: "I'll call you Uncle Dong."
"To be honest, we really were just passing through."
"As for any other intentions, there truly aren't any."
"If you hadn't bothered us, we might have just packed up and left tomorrow."
"But you had to pull this stunt..."
"Uncle Dong, I'm really sorry!"
"You're the one who insisted on playing mind games with me..."
Bang, bang, bang!
The next moment.
Three gunshots rang out consecutively.
Accompanied by the roar of police car engines and the wail of sirens.
The entire Tazhai Village compound was surrounded by police cars!
"Ah? Police?"
"Who called the police? How did the police come to our Tazhai Village?"
"Mama, I want to go home... I want milk..."
The commotion was too great.
A two-year-old child was so scared he started talking.
"Don't move."
"Everyone, put your hands behind your head and squat down immediately!"
The person who fired the shots was Officer Hong.
Su Yun was right... Tazhai Village had problems.
What were hundreds of villagers doing crowded in the compound late at night instead of sleeping?
Whoosh... The Tazhai Village villagers stirred restlessly.
The older generation had a sense of awe, or rather, fear, towards the police.
The young and impetuous ones were huffing and puffing...
"Do as the officer says!"
The Village Director roared in a low voice.
The tense atmosphere came to an abrupt halt.
The villagers put their hands behind their heads and squatted down...
Seeing Su Yun and Wang Fan standing in the center of the crowd.
Officer Hong rushed over: "Brother Su Yun, are you alright?"
"I'm fine..."
Su Yun shook his head.
At this moment, the Village Director interrupted the two.
He smiled and said: "Officer, may I ask, what brings you to our Tazhai Village late at night?"
"No one here called the police..."
"Village Director!"
Officer Hong's voice grew considerably louder.
He knew all too well how formidable Tazhai Village was.
Fortunately, Su Yun and his companion were alright.
If something had happened, he truly wouldn't have known how to explain it to Bureau Chief Chen.
"As the Village Director of Tazhai Village."
"Why are you gathering so many villagers instead of sleeping late at night?"
"And... tell me honestly, what were you planning to do to those two just now?"
The atmosphere on site escalated again.
Dozens of police officers.
There were criminal police, and fully armed SWAT Team members...
Among them.
A tall, dark-skinned middle-aged strong man stood beside Officer Hong.
Dressed in a SWAT uniform, he stood there like an iron tower, radiating authority!
This person was Xu Tianlong, the captain of the Longhai City Police Bureau SWAT Team.
He had heard of Su Yun before.
At this moment.
The police surrounded the scene.
There was a strong impulse to immediately use force if there was any disagreement.
Regarding this.
The Village Director could vaguely sense it.
Had the Police Bureau gone mad?
Were they going to make a move on their Tazhai Village?
Furthermore... what was the reason for this large-scale police operation?
The Village Director forced a smile.
"Officer, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Our entire village was just welcoming the two Young Brothers..."
"You guys are making too much of a fuss."
To deploy such a large police force for such a small matter?
Su Yun didn't speak.
He smiled and handed the memory stick to Officer Hong.
"Officer Hong, take a look."
"..."
The appearance of the memory stick.
Startled everyone present.
There really was something!?
The Village Director's eyes narrowed slightly.
His face was calm and composed, but his heart was filled with unease.
These two brats... could they have really discovered something?
How much time has passed?
Impossible, impossible...
The Village Director didn't believe it.
Even if Sherlock Holmes were alive, even if Shinichi Kudo appeared, they couldn't find a secret in such a short time, could they?
Officer Hong didn't speak.
The atmosphere on site was strange, even the sound of breathing was much softer.
Click.
The memory card was inserted into the phone.
"Three million!"
"I'll give you three million every month!"
"..."
"Think about your wife and children..."
That classic transaction video played out.
Hiss!
Among the hundreds of people present, a sudden gasp of cold air was heard.
The Tazhai Village villagers began to stir.
The Village Director's eyes widened.
How could this be... The voice was his.
He knew exactly the context of these words and to whom they were spoken.
When was it recorded?
And how did these two rascals find it?
Gulp... The Village Director feigned composure, remaining silent.
"Hmph!"
Officer Hong was overjoyed inwardly, his expression cold.
Evidence, blatant evidence!
Although the figure in the video was unclear...
However, given their police force's close attention to Tazhai Village all along.
One thing could now be confirmed: Tazhai Village had informants embedded in the Police Bureau.
Damn it... No wonder their police force's every move and operation against Tazhai Village was detected in advance.
Today, fortunately, Brother Su Yun found this crucial clue!
"Village Director, what more do you have to say!?"
"The evidence is conclusive!"
"Bribery, manufacturing rock sugar, murder to silence witnesses..."
"I can arrest you right now!"
Whoosh... Officer Hong roared, his voice hoarse.
Instantly.
The Tazhai Village villagers who were squatting on the ground all stood up in unison.
They glared angrily, each one staring fiercely at Officer Hong.
"You rotten police, what right do you have to arrest our Uncle Dong?"
"You play a video of unknown origin and pin so many accusations on our Uncle Dong?"
"Slander! Framing!"
"In our Tazhai Village, let's see who dares to lay a finger on Uncle Dong!"
"..."
The gunpowder was directly ignited.
Officer Hong gritted his teeth.
A bunch of unruly people...
At this moment, the Village Director slowly walked out from the crowd.
Waving his hand, he signaled the villagers not to get agitated.
He looked at Officer Hong again.
He still smiled and said: "Officer, a video of unknown origin, edited a few times, who can't do that?"
"You say I bribed someone."
"I want to emphasize this: that person saved my life, I give him three million every month, and I still think it's too little!"
"Alas..."
"You say I make rock sugar, you say I murdered to silence witnesses..."
"Where's the rock sugar? Where are the bodies?"
