"Even if it was a misunderstanding, we neither killed nor set fire. We just went into the village to have a look. Is there any need for the whole village or even the people from the next village to round us up?!"

Hearing the village head's explanation, Gu Chenyang couldn't help retorting angrily before Liu Junchao said anything.

Not long after they entered the village, they ran into this group of villagers. At that time, they already had weapons in their hands. No one would believe it if they said it was a misunderstanding now.

"Officer, it's really a misunderstanding. There are many animals in the mountains. At night, wolves, tigers and leopards often come into the village to pick up children, so we let the young and middle-aged people in the village take turns patrolling the village every night!"

While talking, the village chief gestured to the villagers behind him with his hands behind his back, signaling them to come forward and agree.

"The village chief is right. It was our shift shift time just now, and half of the people had to go back to sleep. It was A Niu who said that there were thieves in the village, so we went out to search together!"

"Yes, every family in our village is poor, and we can't afford security guards, so we can only come here by ourselves."

"Several police officers came to our village at such a night, and we misunderstood them as thieves and chased them for so long. Why don't you come to our house and have a cup of tea!"

"..."

The villagers were very clever. Seeing the gesture made by the village chief, they immediately stood up one by one and spoke in agreement.

"I don't drink tea. I came to Ginkgo Village for business. Just now my colleagues caught two traffickers at the foot of the mountain. They said they just came to your village last night and sold five children."

Liu Junchao was too lazy to argue with the villagers here, so he went straight to the point.

Just now, when I was searching the village separately with Gu Mingchen, I received a call from the bureau, saying that Zhao Gang and Wang Limin had been arrested.

The two were injured and sent to the hospital by the police from Mashi Town and Jingshi, and confessed to the transaction in Gingko Village tonight.

"The police officer is wronged. The villagers in our village are honest people who have been farming all their lives. They guard their family's one-acre three-point land every day. They have never even been to the town. How could they do such illegal things!"

The village chief didn't expect Zhao Gang and Zhao Gang to be caught by the police, and his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he pretended to be wronged and called out grievances.

"Since we didn't do it, don't you mind if we go to your house to have a look?"

Liu Junchao ignored the village chief's cries, and walked directly to the nearest family.

"It's so late and my family is asleep. There are many children in the family, and the elderly don't sleep well. If I wake them up, I won't be able to sleep all night!"

Seeing Liu Junchao walking towards the courtyard gate, a middle-aged man rushed out of the team and stopped in front of him in a panic.

"Then I'll change."

Liu Junchao could see the guilt hidden in the eyes of the man in front of him at a glance, but he didn't expose it, and walked to the next door as soon as he turned his footsteps.

"Officer, my wife is nine months pregnant and is about to give birth. She hasn't been able to sleep well for a month. You have pity on us. Come back when she wakes up tomorrow morning!"

However, before he could take a few steps, another man rushed out from the crowd, stopped in front of his house with open arms, and said with a embarrassed face.

"What are the difficulties in your family? Is there an elderly person who can't sleep well, or is there a child about to have a baby?"

Liu Junchao didn't speak, and turned around and walked towards the opposite house, but no accident, another person stopped him, so he asked first without waiting for him to speak.

"I……"

"Officer Liu, all the capable young and middle-aged people in our village have gone out, and we are the only ones who are responsible for patrolling at night. Now the people sleeping at home are old, weak, women and children. They really need to rest. We didn't deliberately make things difficult for you."

The villager was so choked by Liu Junchao that he couldn't speak, and just as he didn't know how to answer, the village chief stepped forward and helped him explain.

"Uncle policeman, don't believe his words, they are all bad guys!"

But as soon as the village chief finished speaking, Yuanyuan pushed open the door and ran out from a house.

Behind her, there are Li Tianlong, Gao Meichen and several rescued women. They all have injuries on their bodies, and they support each other, looking very miserable.

"What nonsense are you kid! I'm going to sue you for abducting my wife!"

The house that Yuanyuan and the others walked out of was the first one that Liu Junchao wanted to go in to check. When the man saw his wife being helped out, his face turned green, and he went up to rob her.

"I'm not your wife! My name is Chen Xuejing, and I'm a student of Nantah University. I was brought here by a faint when I was helping an old man guide the way at the school gate last year!"

Before the man rushed up and touched Chen Xuejing, he was kicked aside by Li Tianlong.

Seeing the policemen in the crowd, Chen Xuejing also gained courage. She stepped forward with a big belly, and pulled out a crumpled student sermon from the hole in the padded jacket.

"I'm not from this village either. My name is Lin Shiyue. I work in Donglin City, and I was tricked into coming here last year."

"My name is Zhao Jiajia, and I'm from Fu County, Southern Province!"

"My name is Lu Yuhan. I was cheated by the homestay owner when I was traveling with my boyfriend five years ago!"

"..."

With Chen Xuejing taking the lead, the rescued women all stood up to show their identities. Liu Junchao's face became more and more ugly when he heard it, and he stepped forward to take the evidence in their hands, and looked through it carefully.

"Officer, don't listen to their nonsense. They are all nearby villagers. They married here voluntarily. They not only gave a bride price but also held a banquet when they got married. All of us in the village can testify!"

"That's right, my wife has a man outside, that's why she lied and tried to frame me!"

"My wife is too! She flirted with the carpenter who came down the mountain the day before yesterday!"

"..."

When the husbands of the women rescued by Yuanyuan saw their "betrayal", they all stood up and shamelessly poured dirty water on their daughters-in-law.

There is no surveillance in the village, and the previous transactions were done in cash. Just having a torn student ID card does not mean anything. As long as they kill them and marry them voluntarily, the police will have nothing to do with them.

"Okay, even if we can't prove that we didn't marry voluntarily, I have evidence that my husband killed someone!"

Chen Xuejing had expected that they would not admit it, so she took a shovel from the yard, went to a sycamore tree in front of her house, and started digging with her big belly.

"Chen Xuejing, stop!"

When Chen Xuejing's husband saw her digging a hole under the tree, his face immediately sank, and he rushed forward shouting, but was stopped by Liu Junchao and another policeman from left to right.

"Old apprentice, go help sister Xuejing dig~"

When Yuanyuan came out, Gu Mingchen stepped forward and hugged her in his arms. At this moment, she leaned on her big brother's shoulder and watched Chen Xuejing struggle to dig a hole, so she reached out and patted Li Tianlong's shoulder next to her, motioning him to go up and help.
