Chapter 1629: Chapter 775 The House Hasn’t Fallen but the Roof Already Collapsed_3

Amidst clouds of dust, they still ran out, and once the dust in the house had settled a bit, they went back in to find that, just like outside, they could still see the night sky above — how wonderful, when day breaks they wouldn’t even need to take the quilts outside to sun them. Even the furniture could be sunned, very delightful indeed.

At this moment, this house, was no longer really suitable to be called a house, after all, if a house is defined by just a few walls and a piece of wood as the roof, then the definition of a house is perhaps a bit too lenient.

The main room’s roof had collapsed, leaving only one main beam, other rooms were more or less the same, with the bedroom in the best condition. The bedroom roof did not escape unscathed either, but the collapsed part just happened to avoid the bed. Although fragments of dirt and rotten wood inevitably fell onto the bed, at least no one was hurt — other than the old man who lost a slipper in the panicked flight and stepped on something sharp.

At this moment, the surrounding neighbors were all alarmed and came over to look, everyone was somewhat stunned. The neighbors also knew a bit about the situation of this family, and some had speculated when the reward was offered, but without evidence, and nobody dared to claim the 200,000 yuan — they were neighbors, and the two criminals usually acted viciously, people were afraid that falsely reporting them would lead not only to missing out on the money but also to the danger of retaliation.

Now many people already had the answer in their hearts, it must have been that this family crossed someone and got retaliated against. This is what they thought, but no one said it out loud. Before the results are out, no one wanted to offend this family. Some pretended to be kind-hearted and advised to report to the police, saying that someone must have done this deliberately!

The criminal’s family, at a loss at this moment, immediately felt the need to report to the police when they heard this suggestion. The house collapsing was no longer a concern, but at least they urgently wanted the polices to come over, which would make them feel a bit more at ease.

It’s rather ironic – normally, their family member acted so aggressively that sometimes they took pride in it, feeling that no one in the village dared to bully them. But when push came to shove, their first thought was still to report to the police, hoping the polices would back them up, afraid of the retaliator taking further action.

As for what further action could be taken, now that the house had been demolished, if there really was a next step, you can imagine what would happen.

The police station had received the report but had not yet dispatched anyone to the scene, when another report came in. What a coincidence, another house had been demolished.

One house could perhaps be an accident, but two houses made it almost certain to be deliberate. The police reported it up the chain, and upon investigation, it was immediately discovered that these two demolished houses belonged to the two people who had just been captured with the reward offer.

Then, a phone call was made, instructing those interrogating the case to tell the two criminals to increase the pressure and to confess everything as soon as possible.

As for the case of the demolished houses, the site has not been clearly inspected and the investigation has not been thoroughly conducted, so it’s uncertain whether it’s related to the reward incident. Even if events seemed coincidental, investigation ultimately requires evidence, those two could brazenly ride motorcycles at night to beat people up, who would believe they hadn’t offended anyone before?

However, having one’s house demolished, for most people, is quite serious.

Even if the two criminals were as indifferent as a dead mouse feels no cold, when they heard that not long after they had been brought in, their family could now sunbathe inside the house, their faces did change color.

Those who do not play by the rules feel they can act with impunity because they face people who do play by the rules. If they encounter someone who, like them, does not play by rules and is even more unrestrained, they, too, will be afraid.

They were very clear in their minds that they had just been arrested, they had stubbornly resisted and said nothing, only revealing their own names and addresses, and then in an instant, their homes were demolished; to say that this wasn’t a warning or a threat, they themselves were... a bit skeptical.

It’s only their houses now, but if they continue to resist and say nothing, what might happen next is probably not something they would want to witness.

As for the mastermind who could compensate them after their conviction, they were not very confident about whether their family members would be protected by the mastermind.

Whether to speak or not is now a decision in their hands. The house collapsed too quickly, and if they choose not to speak... it seems that it won’t do!

Even the most unrestrained people have things they care about in their hearts. Except for those who have completely lost their humanity, not just anyone can put their own family in danger to cover up crimes for others.

Just a few minutes later, one of the criminals opened up, "We were instructed by Boss White to go to the laboratory and beat people up. He said someone at the laboratory had offended his friend, and told us to beat up a few people at random, to give a warning to the laboratory’s boss. He didn’t say much else."

Once this one had spoken, the other did not wait for the polices to say much, and also honestly ratted out Boss White.

Since they had started talking, the rest followed easily. They told everything about Boss White—who he was and what he did—in one breath.

A group of polices, who were nearly falling asleep, had already anticipated this, and prepared themselves that obtaining the confession would not be difficult. Everyone perked up instantly, some took the chance to wash their faces, others grabbed some fruit to snack on for a boost of energy...

Once the confession was secured and Boss White’s likely resting place was identified, the arrest team quickly set off again.

Yan Fei still followed stubbornly behind a line of police cars, insisting on ensuring that he stayed with everyone all the time, so he could prove that he hadn’t done anything!
