Chapter 230 The Female Lead's Original Wife in the Assassin Novel (5)
The police behind him saw the protagonist holding a knife, standing stiffly in place, completely motionless.
Just then, a young man rushed out from the crowd.
She rushed into the courtyard in a few strides and kicked the male protagonist's arm.
"Nonsense—" a policeman shouted, about to step forward to assist, but fearing the assailant might retaliate,
"Watch out!" Xu Fu shouted as well.
The male protagonist's arm remained frozen in mid-air as he was kicked.
Then, with a clatter, the knife fell to the ground...
The young man glanced foolishly at the policeman who had spoken, and gave a smug smile.
"Captain, this time the bonus is mine, right?!" The man blurted out so casually.
"Get the hell out of here!" The middle-aged policeman rushed forward, and the two of them together pinned the male protagonist to the ground.
Then they presented him with a pair of shiny handcuffs.
Seeing that they had the person under control, Xu Fu quickly stepped forward.
In a blind spot, he cast a truth-telling spell on the male protagonist before smiling and thanking the two of them.
"Thank you to my two police colleagues for saving me from this predicament!"
Xu Fu tried to flatter the man, but the middle-aged policeman glared at him coldly.
She turned and dragged the male protagonist out of the courtyard, giving the young man a meaningful look.
The young man immediately understood and looked at Xu Fu with a smile.
"You're the one who called the police, right?! Tell me the whole story again in detail—"
Instead of taking Xu Fu back for questioning, the man took out his notebook and prepared to record the events on the spot.
"I can't sleep at night, so I come out to sit in the yard for a while."
Then I saw a dark figure rushing towards my yard—
Xu Fu spoke for about ten minutes, until his throat was dry, and the young man calmly put down his pen.
Then, looking at his own records, he repeatedly questioned Xu Fu about the events leading up to the incident...
When the middle-aged policeman returned, it was already half an hour later.
The other person gave Xu Fu a deep look, then asked, "What's your relationship with that house that caught fire over there?!"
"My father-in-law—" Xu Fu's expression tightened, and he asked nervously, "What happened over there?"
"I saw a fire starting up, and it looked like quite a big one—"
“There were no casualties,” the middle-aged policeman shook his head, “only a clump of chickens in the yard got killed.”
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I just came back from working outside."
"Then I'll invite my father-in-law and mother-in-law over for dinner."
"They had a little to drink that night, so I let them sleep at home."
"Thank goodness we didn't let them go back!" Xu Fu exclaimed with a look of relief.
He looked at the police officer again and thanked him sincerely.
"Where's your father-in-law?! Bring him out, I have questions for them—"
The middle-aged policeman maintained a serious expression and spoke coldly.
"They, they—" Xu Fu scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.
"They all had a few drinks tonight, and they're sleeping soundly now..."
"You didn't hear such a loud noise?!" The middle-aged policeman looked at Xu Fu in confusion.
The young man beside him was eager to try, and seeing the door close behind him, he really wanted to go up and kick it open...
Seeing the man's expression, the middle-aged policeman coughed heavily.
Xu Fu then realized what was happening and quickly apologized, "I'll go and call them out right now—"
Xu Fu hurried into the room, and after a while...
They brought the three people out of the room, all of whom looked half-asleep and completely dazed.
Only when he saw the yard full of police officers did he regain some of his senses.
As the pillar of the family, the original owner's father-in-law naturally had to step forward and strike up a conversation with the person.
He walked up to the middle-aged policeman and asked in a low voice, "Comrade, what brings you to my house so late at night?"
Xu Fu hadn't had a chance to explain the cause and effect to anyone, which led to an information asymmetry between the two sides...
The middle-aged policeman glanced at Xu Fu and then led him directly outside the courtyard.
The original owner's mother-in-law and the female lead were about to follow when they were blocked by the young man.
He cheerfully led the two to a corner of the yard and then took out his notebook.
Fortunately, the lights in the original owner's courtyard were bright, otherwise Xu Fu would have worried whether he could have written the words clearly...
The aggrieved parties over there had all risen up, so Xu Fu naturally couldn't let the original owner's parents off the hook.
He opened the door and walked straight into their bedroom, shaking the two of them awake.
This time, Xu Fu had the time to explain the whole story to them clearly.
Then, the two of them followed Xu Fu into the courtyard in silence.
After speaking with the middle-aged policeman, they asked the original owner's parents to come over and recognize the male lead's face.
The four adults all shook their heads, indicating they didn't recognize each other and that this was just an undeserved misfortune...
However, the male lead revealed everything he knew.
Two policemen surrounded him, writing furiously in their notebooks.
The police did not conclude their investigation until daylight.
The male protagonist also explained the reasons clearly...
Just as the middle-aged policeman surrounded the six of them and explained why the male protagonist had come,
The villagers noticed the large commotion at the original owner's house and gathered around.
Several police officers outside the courtyard were trying to maintain order; the male protagonist had already been taken into a police car.
Two policemen stood guard on either side of them.
"So...so the babies were switched at birth?!" The mother was utterly shocked by the news.
"His own daughter asked him to come and kill his own parents?!" The female lead's father was both shocked and terrified.
After realizing what had happened, he gritted his teeth and roared.
The original owner's parents opened and closed their mouths, but couldn't utter a single word...
After informing them, the middle-aged policeman turned his attention to Xu Fu.
"He said he was under your spell, and someone disappeared right in front of him..."
The middle-aged policeman stared at Xu Fu with a scrutinizing gaze, trying to gauge the truthfulness of the suspect's words.
Xu Fu burst into laughter after hearing this, "I was just saying she had a mental illness!"
"What decent person would become an assassin?!" Xu Fu scoffed.
"What kind of assassin would come to a village and wipe out an entire family?! Including the chickens we raise..."
Xu Fu said no, Sister Li...
"Okay!" The middle-aged policeman nodded, neither saying he believed it nor disbelieved it.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take the suspect back. I'll let you know when there are any updates—"
Just as the middle-aged policeman was about to lead his team away, the female protagonist quickly caught up with him.
The two stood beside the police car outside the yard, talking in hushed tones.
Xu Fu was standing far away, so he didn't hear carefully.
The middle-aged policeman nodded, glanced at the female lead, then turned to look at Xu Fu.
Then he whispered some words to the female lead—
The female lead kept nodding, but her expression grew increasingly serious.
Finally, the man even took out his phone and exchanged contact information with the middle-aged policeman...
After Xu Fu and the others left, he also sent the villagers away.
Only then did they call the person into the room and close the courtyard gate.
