"The phone was thrown into the grass over there!"
Before the woman could even open her mouth, Er Zhu pointed to the lawn not far away.
It was dinnertime, and Er Zhu really didn't want to waste too much time on such a trivial matter.
A hint of panic flashed in the red-haired man's eyes when he heard this. He never expected his actions to be discovered!
He had practiced such skills for ten years!
It was precisely because of these good skills that he had never been caught!
"How is that possible? I was the closest to him. How could I not see him throw the phone?"
As the red-haired man panicked, the female police officer looked at Er Zhu angrily and questioned him.
*Heh, idiot, worse than a normal person!*
The red-haired man glanced contemptuously at the female officer, then turned his gaze to the lawn.
Facing the female officer's questioning, Er Zhu looked at her as if she were an idiot.
*Are police officers' IQs really this low now?*
"Oh... I know, the phone isn't in the grass at all, it's in your hand, right? You're his accomplice!"
Seeing Er Zhu's contemptuous gaze, the female officer became even more furious. Her eyes darted around, and she sternly rebuked.
"What's wrong with you police officers? We're helping you, and you're biting us back!"
Er Zhu ignored the female officer, but Li Mei, standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and said somewhat angrily.
It was one thing for the police not to thank Er Zhu for his bravery, but to wrongly accuse him!
This female officer's imagination was truly something else...
"Sir, please come with me!"
The female officer didn't even look at Li Mei, saluted Er Zhu, and stared intently at him.
"Are you going to stop or not? I'll report you if you keep this up!"
Faced with the female officer's attitude, Wang Xiaomei couldn't take it anymore either, frowning slightly, she shouted.
The commotion here was so loud that it attracted many onlookers. As the crowd grew, the atmosphere became increasingly tense!
"Cooperating with the police investigation is every citizen's duty. Since you are not an accomplice, you should come back with me!"
The more people spoke up for Er Zhu, the more convinced the female officer became of her own idea. Finally, she even took out handcuffs!
Seeing this, the red-haired man covered his mouth and suppressed a laugh.
He had seen idiots before, but never such an idiot!
Er Zhu helplessly curled his lips. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't be bothered to speak.
He was truly too lazy to say a single word to such an idiot!
"Xiao Yang, what's going on?"
Just as the female officer was about to take forceful action, a man's voice suddenly came from a distance.
Then, a man in uniform pushed through the crowd. Er Zhu recognized him at a glance.
It was the police leader from the time they arrested Liu Er!
Team member Xiao Yang hadn't returned after being dispatched, so the man, worried, came to check and stumbled upon this scene!
Captain Zhao frowned slightly as he scanned the crowd, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"Captain Zhao, this person is a thief, and I want to take him in, but he refuses. I'm preparing to use force!"
The female officer saluted the man and pointed at Er Zhu indignantly to lodge a complaint.
Captain Zhao, with over a decade of experience as a police officer, would surely see through these thieves' tricks at a glance!
*Go ahead and pretend. Let's see how long you can keep it up!*
Xiao Yang stared intently at Er Zhu, her gaze as if she could see right through him!
Li Mei and Wang Xiaomei stood beside Er Zhu, angry, as if waiting for Captain Zhao to say something wrong before they would start a fight!
Only Er Zhu, he simply nodded to Captain Zhao with a slight nod, his face expressionless.
Captain Zhao was about to act, but at this moment, he also recognized Er Zhu, and his anger grew even greater.
This was truly a case of "what you fear most will happen"!
"What exactly happened? Explain it clearly to me!"
Just when Xiao Yang thought Captain Zhao would side with her, she unexpectedly heard such a question. Although she felt wronged and confused, as she was about to retort, a woman in business attire pulled Captain Zhao aside.
"I'll tell you, I'm the victim!"
"Xiao Yang, go find the phone in the grass!"
After listening to the woman's account, Captain Zhao pointed to the distant lawn and sternly commanded.
"Captain Zhao, this kid is definitely the thief's accomplice, how can you..."
"He's not the thief's accomplice. He's a villager from Shiliu Village. If he hadn't helped us last time, we wouldn't have caught Liu Er so quickly!"
Xiao Yang frowned and was about to retort, but before she could finish, she heard these words.
What?
*The good young man who Captain Zhao mentioned for his bravery was him!*
Captain Zhao had said that man was agile and a master!
How could she possibly connect that master with the ordinary person standing before her?
How could such an unbelievable thing happen in this world!
Xiao Yang's expression changed repeatedly. She stared wide-eyed at Er Zhu in disbelief.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
Seeing Xiao Yang's stunned look, Captain Zhao became angry and urged her sternly again.
Xiao Yang nodded apologetically at Er Zhu and then quickly ran towards the lawn.
The crowd, which had been chattering, also stopped, craning their necks to look at the distant grass.
The red-haired man's smile had long since vanished. He clenched his fists, his heart filled with panic!
He thought he could escape this time, but it seemed he was going to be caught!
Today was truly unlucky. First, he encountered such a strong civilian, and then such a strong police officer!
"I'm sorry, young man. Xiao Yang is on her first day on duty. I'll apologize to you on her behalf!"
Captain Zhao helplessly glanced at Xiao Yang, then saluted Er Zhu and apologized sincerely.
"What if it's her first day on duty? That doesn't mean you can just wrongly accuse people!"
"That's right. If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have meddled in this business!"
Before Er Zhu could speak, Li Mei and Wang Xiaomei, standing nearby, were already displeased.
They had come to town for a nice meal, only to run into such troublesome affairs!
Fortunately, a sensible person had arrived, otherwise, they would be eating prison food today!
The two women thought about it and became more indignant, and felt even more that Er Zhu was being wronged.
"It's fine. Catching the bad guy is the most important thing."
But Er Zhu shook his head, glanced at Xiao Yang, who was searching for the phone, and smiled nonchalantly.
Seeing Er Zhu's magnanimity, the surrounding crowd gave him thumbs up, and Captain Zhao's impression of him improved further.
It was rare to find such a magnanimous and skilled young man!
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Yang, with her head hanging low, held a red phone in her hand.
"This phone is mine!"
As Xiao Yang walked over, the woman in business attire snatched the phone from her hand. Seeing this, Xiao Yang's head drooped even lower!
He had thought it was just a trick between thieves, but he never imagined that the young man was telling the truth!
She had truly wronged an innocent person!
The more Xiao Yang thought about it, the more regretful she became. Her face instantly turned red, and she was so ashamed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into!
She thought she was an embodiment of justice, but in reality, she was just a fool!
