Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1308 - 638: Kill a Thief_3

Yan Fei stepped forward and grabbed him, "Guo Liucai, I’m right here!"

The young man called out by Guo Liucai suddenly knelt down, "Boss Yan, Big Brother Yan, please save me! I didn’t mean to kill anyone on purpose. I just hit him a few times; it wasn’t intentional. Save me..."

Yan Fei pulled him up and shouted, "Stand up! Slow down, and tell me clearly, what exactly happened? I don’t know anything; how can I save you?"

At that moment, two more people rushed in; a middle-aged man, frantic, said, "Liucai, why are you running here? Hurry and find a car to escape! The police will be here any minute..."

Another younger one also said, "You killed someone, not even Boss Yan can save you now. Run first and talk later!"

More people continuously ran towards them, and Yan Fei shouted to Heizi and the others, "Stop everyone; what are they running in here for? Wait until I find out what happened."

The middle-aged man and the younger one started explaining in turns, "We were at the county fair, buying things, and on the way back on the bus, we encountered two thieves stealing. The two thieves were about to get off at the West Hillock, when an old lady shouted that they were thieves."

"Then, everyone on the bus started to check if they lost anything, and indeed quite a few items were missing. The people on the bus caught the two thieves. When they were caught, the thieves even pulled out knives..."

"We had more people and overpowered them. We tied them up and loaded them onto the bus to take them to the police station. When it was Liucai’s turn to hit, his arm got sliced, which angered him, so he kicked a few times."

"Just as the bus was about to cross the bridge, the thief that he’d kicked a couple of times twitched and then died..."

The situation wasn’t very complicated. As it was New Year, people were celebrating, and these petty thieves took this chance to make some New Year’s money.

Sancha River township has always had good public order, making thieves quite rare, which had lowered everyone’s vigilance. Also, because the bus was crowded, the two thieves managed to steal successfully a few times. These types of thieves keep moving; they certainly wouldn’t stay on the bus until the destination. When they got to the West Hillock, their cover was blown.

The two thieves probably thought to brandish their knives, just to intimidate the people on the bus—a tactic that indeed works in some places since most people believe losing wealth is better than losing life and wouldn’t risk their lives over some belongings.

However, they hadn’t realized this was Sancha River. Here, thieves are almost extinct; when one suddenly appeared, not many on the bus were scared. The passengers were not unarmed either; their bags of purchases instantly turned into weapons. When the bus stopped and the nearby residents heard about the thieves, they even grabbed weapons to help, quickly subduing the two thieves. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Next came tying up the thieves and throwing them on the bus, ready to take them to the police station—as for hitting them a few times on the way, that was normal. When thieves planned to reap without sowing, they should be ready to take some hits; otherwise, they’d be unqualified as thieves.

But whereas others aimed their kicks and hits at the body, just enough to discipline, Guo Liucai had been pushed more to the front and a thief slashed his arm. It was winter, so the clothing was thick, and he wasn’t injured. However, it did indeed startle him.

So he hit a few more times than others, and his position was right where the thief’s head was located. Since no one was likely to steady the thieves in the aisle, they were just lying there.

Unexpectedly, not far from the west end of the bridge, the thief’s head slumped, and he stopped breathing!

At first, nobody really minded; they just felt uneasy having a dead person around. But soon, everyone started to think about one thing: times had changed. In the past, if you beat a thief to death, that was the end. But now, according to the laws mentioned often in newspapers and on TV, killing a thief was still a crime that could lead to imprisonment.

Then, on the bus, suggestions varied; some proposed that Guo Liucai turn himself in to reduce the penalty. Others suggested he quickly run away; if they couldn’t catch him in two years, sneaking back later might mean no charges—many locals thought this way, believing that if they couldn’t catch him on the spot, letting some time pass would make it unnecessary to pursue the case later.

The bus driver, also a local, seeing everyone discussing, simply drove to the bus station and stopped. He suggested calling the police station to deal with the dead man since keeping the body on the bus was unlucky—this also gave more time for everyone to think of a better way to handle the situation.

What kind of solution could such a group come up with? After much discussion, someone suggested, "Liucai, don’t you know Boss Yan? Your family even keeps cattle for him; you’re practically one of Boss Yan’s men. Why don’t you ask for his help and see if he has any solution?"

This was why Yan Fei could immediately call out Guo Liucai’s name; this young man was among the first to join the local militia and became one of the cooperative farmers from the start.

Others on the bus maintained their initial opinion, urging Guo Liucai to escape promptly, especially since the current chief of the police station was not a local and not entirely trusted by the community.

As the phone calls continued and even though the street was crowded with people from the fair, the police were expected to arrive soon. The bewildered Guo Liucai finally realized he wasn’t sure what to do on his own, so finding a ’capable person’ was the best option.

In Sancha River, the most capable man was undoubtedly Yan Fei, the big boss of the cattle farm.

Since he kept cattle for him, even if Boss Yan decided not to intervene, getting some advice from him was still valuable. Whether to flee or stay was not clear to him, and the half-bus’s opinions didn’t seem reliable. Might as well listen to Boss Yan.

Thus, Guo Liucai ran over.

After Yan Fei understood the whole situation and Guo Liucai’s idea, he realized he didn’t have much time left. He listened carefully and heard that the police had already reached the bus station.
