Chapter 45 Outside the Wall and Inside the Wall
Gao Feng and Hua Mei really didn't understand why these two people just left without saying anything, but the moment they walked out of the tent, they could clearly see .
The incident took place in a small courtyard not far from the crime scene. Hundreds of people had gathered at the gate of the courtyard. These people, both men and women, were obviously local villagers. Some of them were holding carrying poles, some were holding knives, and they were shouting and trying to rush into the courtyard.
In the yard, apart from a few nervous policemen blocking the door with guns, there were only Gu Xia and Wang Zheng, both of whom had worry written all over their faces.
Gao Feng knew what was going on without having to think. Perhaps someone in the village started to say that they suspected the murderer, so these villagers surrounded the murderer's house and tried to forcibly take him away.
"What should I do?" Huamei stood at a loss. It was the first time she encountered such a thing.
"There's nothing we can do." Gao Feng was silent for a while, then quickly said, "Go back to the city bureau and ask them to send more police officers, otherwise I think something bad will happen."
"It would be easier if I called 110." Huamei quickly took out her cell phone and prepared to dial.
"It's useless." Gao Feng stopped Huamei and said worriedly, "Although I don't want to admit it, but in reality, if you encounter such a thing, even if you call, at most he will send a few police officers to confirm the situation, and then report it step by step. By the time the people come, it will be too late."
"But..." Huamei gritted her teeth and decided to listen to Gao Feng. She turned around and ran towards the nearest police car.
"Damn it, I can beat ten people by myself, but I'm no more than a few hundred people!" After cursing, Gao Feng secretly bypassed the villagers, found the wall behind the yard, and after a few running steps, he jumped in.
As soon as he entered the scene, he could clearly feel the tension. Wang Zheng and Gu Xia were also very anxious and were pacing back and forth in the yard.
"Why are you here just now!" The sharp-eyed Wang Zheng immediately spotted Gao Feng walking towards him slowly. He looked around and saw that there was no sign of Hua Mei. He grabbed Gao Feng's collar and shouted angrily, "Where's Hua Mei!"
"Why are you holding me?" Gao Feng was a little unhappy, but he struggled several times and failed to break free of the other party's hand, so he had no choice but to say: "I was afraid that he would come with us, so I lied to her and asked her to go back to the Municipal Bureau first."
"Yes...I'm sorry." Wang Zheng let go of his hand, then sat on a chair beside him, breathing heavily.
"The murderer is in the house?" Seeing Wang Zheng's situation, Gao Feng didn't dare to ask more. He secretly pulled Gu Xia's sleeve and asked quietly.
Gu Xia did not answer at the first time. He silently took out cigarettes from his pocket, but there was only an empty box left. He could not help but crumpled the cigarette box into a ball and said, "I can't be sure, but Huang Ming is doing ideological work."
"What's happening at the scene?" Gao Feng asked.
Gu Xia sighed, and seeing that the villagers ahead showed no signs of rioting, he quietly pulled Gao Feng and Wang Zheng into a small hut and told them what he had heard.
He and Wang Zheng arrived at the yard one after the other. At that time, the villagers had just begun to show signs of gathering. The police from the police station received Huang Ming's instructions and seemed to have known that this would happen. They rushed to the scene with guns.
When the villagers saw this situation, they immediately spread rumors like "the police are colluding with the murderer" and "the police are going to secretly send the murderer away". The crowd was immediately outraged. No matter whether they were villagers who originally lived in the village or those who rented houses here later, everyone picked up weapons and quickly blocked the main entrance of the yard.
The police were afraid that the situation could not be controlled, so they rushed into the yard and blocked the gate. As a result, the original search for clues turned into a "confrontation between police and citizens."
"How can I reason with this?" Gao Feng patted his head and also felt a headache.
"Yes." Gu Xia sighed, asked Wang Zheng for a cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "We don't know why Huang Ming asked his police officers to come here in advance, but such a big thing has happened, we must find a way to solve it. I have already called the Minjiang Municipal Bureau, I hope they can come in time."
"Huang Ming, get out here!"
"Yes! Come out and give us an explanation!"
"If he doesn't come out, I'll use a bulldozer to tear down this house!"
"right!"
The angry voices of the villagers soon reached the ears of Wang Zheng and others through the crack in the door. They were afraid that if police force was not dispatched to control them, these villagers might really do something extreme.
"This is not a solution." Gao Feng was silent for a while, then came up with an idea. "Why don't I climb over the wall and blend into the crowd, and then cause them to start a fight. What do you think?"
"Not so good." Gu Xia shook his head, rejecting Gao Feng's suggestion. "These people know each other, so it's not good to see a stranger like you. Besides, you showed up with us today. If someone recognizes you, I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death!"
Gu Xia said the words "beat to death with sticks" very seriously, and Gao Feng shrank his neck in fear.
Obviously, when faced with the villagers who had lost their minds, he also knew that his deterrent power was far less than that of the police outside the door. After all, the police outside the door still had weapons in their hands. Although it was impossible for them to really shoot, scaring them could delay them for a while.
As for how long it will be delayed, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until reinforcements from the Municipal Bureau arrive.
Time passed quickly, and Huang Ming still didn't come out of the other room. The villagers outside the door finally exploded. Even from a distance, Wang Zheng and others could even hear the sound of the iron door being shaken violently and the sound of metal colliding.
what to do?
At this moment, the three members of the task force began to think.
Fighting? The three of them knew their own situations. Gao Feng and Wang Zheng were fine. They should have no problem dealing with more than a dozen people if a fight broke out. However, Gu Xia was not young anymore. If something went wrong, no one would be able to take the responsibility.
"I have an idea!" Gao Feng and Gu Xia said in unison, then looked at each other and shook their heads. Obviously, they both felt that what they proposed was not very reliable, so they turned to look at Wang Zheng, wanting to hear his opinion.
Unknowingly, Wang Zheng seemed to have really become the backbone of the task force.
"I have an idea, but it's a bit risky." With a "bang", a stone broke the glass, interrupting what Wang Zheng wanted to say. Without thinking, Wang Zheng picked up a kitchen knife from the side and walked out the door.
"Smash him to death!"
Seeing Wang Zheng going out, the villagers obviously thought he was in cahoots with the murderer, and in an instant dozens of people started throwing weapons at him.
boom!
In addition to the other small stones that hit his body, someone threw a fist-sized stone that hit Wang Zheng squarely on the forehead. Blood immediately oozed out from the long wound, and soon half of his face was covered with blood.
Wang Zheng opened the only eye that could see and looked outside the iron gate. The villagers who were frightened at the sight of blood unconsciously licked their own blood with their tongues, then raised their arms and wiped their faces clean.
"You bastards!" Gao Feng, who was walking out of the door, happened to see this scene. After cursing loudly, he reached out and tried to snatch the gun of the police officer next to him.
"Shut up." Wang Zheng pointed a kitchen knife at Gao Feng. After watching him calm down, he pointed at the iron door in front of him and said, "Open the door."
The policeman at the door looked at Gu Xia in panic. He was obviously also confused. Only after seeing Gu Xia nod, he secretly opened the iron door a crack, then hurried back to his original position, holding the pistol tremblingly.
Crunch!
The door was not opened by the angry villagers , but by Wang Zheng himself, and he just stood in front of everyone.
"Give me a day and I will solve the case." Wang Zheng said.
"You..., how can I trust you?" A man with exposed tattoos standing in front of Wang Zheng said fearfully.
"If I can't find the murderer within a day." Shaking his head, Wang Zheng suddenly laughed, and with his bloody face that made people feel horrified, he handed the handle of the kitchen knife to the other party, "If you can't do it, you can kill me, how about that?"
