Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Scared Me_1 Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Scared Me_1 Ying Jiuming frowned tightly, observing Jiang Deding’s expression with the keen eyes of a hawk. He then signaled his people to keep a close eye on him.
One of them was someone whose ability to manage stress was extremely poor. How had such a big family ended up together?
“Don’t allow any spectators. Clear everyone away.”
Some police officers came forward to disperse the crowd, driving away all the unrelated villagers. However, people like Nan Fei were asked to stay. They had thoroughly investigated him before this and knew they were relatives, and very close ones at that.
After everyone had left, Jiang Deding’s emotions seemed significantly better than before.
Liu Yongxia had rested for about ten minutes. With her energy somewhat restored, she started to stir up trouble again, “You all should leave! Don’t stay in my house. Get out quickly!”
Officer Liu stepped forward from the crowd and with an expressionless face said, “Comrade, your refusal to cooperate gives us the right to arrest you.”
“You… dare you?” Liu Yongxia was obviously frightened. She quickly grabbed a hoe leaning against the wall at the doorway, swinging it and shouting, “Who dares to come forward?”
The hoe, long in use, was extremely sharp. Those standing nearby unanimously took a step backward, retreating to a safe distance.
Nan Fei observed Liu Yongxia, sensing something was amiss.
She had clashed with Liu Yongxia several times before and understood her bully-the-weak, fear-the-strong character very thoroughly. Liu Yongxia would typically have been too frightened to speak by now, making her confrontational attitude now seem like she was a different person altogether.
Was she trying to protect Jiang Minmin?
There was a clear disagreement between this mother and daughter at the conflict that took place at her doorsteps last time.
Suggesting that Liu Yongxia would take on a noble, fearless attitude to protect Jiang Minmin is no less absurd than suggesting that the sun rises from the west.
“Sis!” Zhuanzhuan stood beside Nan Fei, glanced at her cautiously and asked, “What are you thinking, Sis? Have you noticed something strange?”
“I just think Auntie’s attitude is very strange.”
Zhuanzhuan nodded, “Right! The nurse’s disappearance–it might really be related to them.”
Zhuanzhuan’s words made Nan Fei’s gaze sharpen. Her eyes were glossy, alert, and perilous. Her tone unconsciously dropped by three points, becoming cold and serious, “Zhuanzhuan, what did you just say?”
Zhuanzhuan lowered her eyes and didn’t speak.
“Repeat your last sentence.” Nan Fei was certain she hadn’t misheard. What Zhuanzhuan had spoken was not a may, not a guess, and certainly not a might…
It wasn’t a supposition.
Her words were clearly assertive.
Zhuanzhuan shrank back, “Sis, you scared me!”
“I’m sorry!” Nan Fei immediately apologized, but her confusion had only deepened.
While the sisters were speaking, Ying Jiuming had ordered his men to break in through a window to the back of the house and capture Jiang Minmin.
“Ah! Let go, you let go! Did you hear me?”
The courtyard echoed with Jiang Minmin’s hysterical screaming. As soon as Liu Yongxia, who was outside, heard it, she suddenly stopped causing a fuss. Like a deflated balloon, she collapsed listlessly onto the ground.
This reaction captured the attention of everyone present.
Officer Liu subconsciously looked at Nan Fei, his heart aching intensely. The young girl was still eagerly hoping for Sun Lu to be alive, yet based on his judgment, coupled with Liu Yongxia and Jiang Minmin’s responses, it was preliminary to presume that Sun Lu had been killed.
Now all that remained was to find the body.
The front door was opened from inside, and Jiang Minmin was dragged out helplessly.
“What are you doing? Let go, let go.”
Once they finally caught her, they definitely wouldn’t let go. Since Ying Jiuming was a man and it wasn’t appropriate for him to take the lead, he made a glance at Officer Liu, signaling her to step forward and interrogate.
