Hearing Wei Ziqi's words, Miaomiao was slightly stunned. She seemed to be thinking about whether she should continue to avenge her father.
After thinking for a while, Miaomiao, who was already on the verge of getting stuck in a dead - end, unhesitatingly swung her fist down.
"No, I can't let him go. I know Dad doesn't want me to kill, but he almost killed Dad. I must teach him a lesson!"
Miaomiao stubbornly insisted on her own opinion. The murderer pinned under her was already looking dazed.
Wei Ziqi had no choice but to use his body to block Miaomiao's swinging fist, insisting that she shouldn't act without considering the consequences.
Just as the two were at a stalemate, the voices of Uncle Lin and Lin Yao suddenly came from behind.
"Miaomiao!"
"Miaomiao!"
Miaomiao turned around. Seeing her father, who was wrapped in a down jacket and still wearing a hospital gown, she immediately got off the murderer and ran over.
"Dad! You're finally awake!" Miaomiao sniffled, and tears couldn't stop falling.
This feeling was very complicated, and Miaomiao couldn't describe it.
She was very happy that her father had woken up, so happy that she wanted to cry. But looking at the hospital gown on her father, she remembered what he had been through and felt sad and wanted to cry. Moreover, because the murderer behind her hadn't been sufficiently punished due to Wei Ziqi's obstruction, Miaomiao also felt a bit wronged and wanted to cry. In short, her heart was full of mixed feelings, and only crying could relieve her emotions.
Lin Yao hugged Miaomiao. His eyes were full of helplessness. After coaxing her for a while, Miaomiao finally stopped howling and started to sob softly.
Seeing that his daughter's emotions were gradually stabilizing, Lin Yao finally began to educate her: "Why did you come out alone to do such a dangerous thing? What if he had some other weapons in his hand? If it was a gun, do you think you could dodge the bullet? You really worry Dad. And didn't Dad tell you that you can't be impulsive when something happens? You can't just solve everything with force. Why are you still so impulsive today?"
"I... I was worried about Dad... My illness is already cured... I wanted to avenge Dad... He's so bad... I couldn't help it..."
Miaomiao sobbed as she explained. She wasn't at all dissatisfied with Lin Yao's education. Even if she was a bit naive, she still knew that this was the love and concern from her father.
"Girl, Uncle Lin has to say something to you. You know, your dad is my younger brother. How could I let the bad guys go after such a big thing happened to him? Uncle Lin already knew he was in the back mountain. And there have been people guarding this van for two days. There was a person in the car at first, and we caught him directly. We haven't carried out the arrest until now just to see..."
"Okay, don't get carried away when you talk. Miaomiao was just worried about me. With this little episode, can't you still solve the case?" Lin Yao quickly interrupted his second brother's words.
He knew what Uncle Lin was going to say next. On the way here, Lin Yao had already learned the general progress of the case from Uncle Lin.
Actually, on the night of the incident, Uncle Lin had immediately blocked all the exits of the village, but no strangers had entered or left the village. He immediately thought of the back mountain. When he went to check, he just saw this unlicensed car.
The car was originally empty and a bit shabby. It was parked in a haystack. At that time, everyone thought it was just an abandoned vehicle, but Uncle Lin was careful and asked someone to keep an eye on it. As a result, this morning, they caught a person who got into the van and was about to start it.
They didn't choose to search the mountain mainly because they didn't know much about this undeveloped back mountain. They were afraid of scaring the snake because of their unfamiliarity with the terrain and letting the murderer escape, so they held back and waited for the murderer to fall into their trap.
At first, after waiting for such a long time and not seeing anyone come down from the mountain, they were almost about to give up. But the person who suddenly appeared today to start the abandoned van became the strongest evidence that the murderer was still on the mountain.
According to this person's confession, someone gave him a sum of money and asked him to come here this morning to drive this van and pick someone up. He didn't know who the person who hired him was, nor did he know who the person he was going to pick up was. Anyway, as long as someone got in the car, he just had to drive away.
This person who came specifically to pick up the murderer had a criminal record before. He was convicted of intentional injury. After he was released from prison, he couldn't find a job. He was really short of money, so he took the risk. Even though he knew something was wrong, he still took this driving job.
From his confession, it could be known that neither the murderer nor the person who picked him up was the mastermind. This was a well - planned premeditated murder, and they still had no clue about the last person hiding behind it.
This was also the second reason why they let the murderer escape instead of arresting him immediately and just monitored him.
Now that Miaomiao, out of extreme anger, had caught the murderer herself, they no longer had the chance to wait for the murderer to meet with the person behind the scenes.
Lin Yao was afraid that if Miaomiao knew there was still a mastermind and that her appearance had disrupted the police's plan, she would feel guilty and self - blaming. So he stopped Uncle Lin's words.
They could look for the person behind the scenes slowly. Since the other party wanted to kill Miaomiao so much, they would definitely commit a second crime. So as long as he waited for the right opportunity, he would always find some clues and arrest this person. There was no need to let Miaomiao live in self - blame all day.
Uncle Lin had just been too angry and a bit unrestrained in his words. After being stopped, he immediately realized his mistake. He quickly shut up and motioned for his subordinates to arrest the murderer and see if they could pry some useful information out of his mouth.
By now, Miaomiao had calmed down after seeing that her father was safe. But she stubbornly insisted on going to the police station with them and would only be satisfied after seeing the murderer arrested.
After arriving at the police station, the murderer didn't need much interrogation before he told everything.
This man wasn't very brave. According to him, he had done such a thing out of helplessness and desperation. Because he owed a huge amount of debt and didn't want to live in hiding from debt collectors for the rest of his life, he took the money and committed the crime.
Only then did Miaomiao know that she had some connection with this man. It turned out that he was the young man who had said sarcastic things when they were helping the old man that day.
Actually, the punishment Lin Yao had given him wasn't very severe. He just made it impossible for him to find a job in Nancheng. Outside of Nancheng, he could still turn over a new leaf. Lin Yao just wanted to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, this man was so greedy for the rent that hadn't expired yet that he refused to leave Nancheng no matter what. Unable to find a job and having no money, he swiped his credit card and borrowed loans to maintain his seemingly decent life. With interest piling up, he was now in a desperate situation.
