Chapter 255 The dust has settled
Pingyang County, Baicang Mountain.
"Zhao Wenmu!"
Xu Peng was huddled in the stone house, his eyes were cracked, and he was unable to bark.
"How can you let me go?"
Even so, he still held on to his last unrealistic hope.
"Put down your weapons, come out and surrender!"
The law will not grant Xu Peng forgiveness, but will give him a fair, just and open outcome.
And this was also the last chance Zhao Wenmu gave him.
Zhao Wenmu and the other three had discussed it before coming. If Xu Peng could change his past and accept the punishment of the law, they would be happy with it.
After all, it is valuable.
Let everyone see a criminal who has committed many crimes be judged and punished by justice, warn others who are ready to take action, and clearly show that the dignity of the law is like the shining sun and moon. This is Xu Peng's final value.
Unfortunately, the parties involved obviously did not think so.
"What the hell are you thinking! Even if I die, I will have someone to support you!"
Xu Peng was so angry that he kicked over the iron pot that was placed on the stove. Heart-wrenching pain instantly spread from his toes along his thighs throughout his body.
He walked around the hut twice on tiptoes, full of embarrassment and anger.
Zhao Wenmu, this bastard!
He actually asked him to surrender!
This bastard not only wants him to go to shit, but also wants him to be pointed out without the strictest words, and then be watched like a lamb to be slaughtered.
What is murder and heart-breaking?!
The veins on Xu Peng's forehead popped out, and his eyes were full of madness and ferocity.
At this moment, he had no sense at all and just wanted to drag Zhao Wenmu along with him to hell.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw things piled in the corner. Xu Peng walked forward excitedly and carried them to the stove.
The two large grass-green suitcases were bulging with stuff, almost overflowing.
Xu Peng opened the zipper, and several large rolls of dough popped out like popping candy, scattering around.
These are the wealth he has accumulated through hard work.
In comparison, what was given to the younger brother and what the detectives found in the house were just scratches the surface.
How to do how to do?
Xu Peng thought anxiously about how much he loved these colorful papers in the past, and how bored he was now.
Zhao Wenmu must not be allowed to get this money!
I would rather let them go underground to accompany me than take advantage of Zhao Laosan!
Thinking about this, Xu Peng immediately made up his mind.
He poured the gasoline he brought on his backpack and laughed while pouring it, as if he was doing something very happy.
Of course he was happy because Zhao Wenmu could not get the money.
So that’s it, that’s really it!
Zhao Wenmu came here just for the money!
Xu Peng thought this way, took out a lit match and threw it on it. The gasoline was originally prepared by him to refuel the motorcycle hidden at the foot of the mountain, and now it was of some use.
The flames suddenly burst out, and a ferocious face became even more terrifying under the light of the fire, as if it were an evil ghost that chooses people to eat.
Xu Peng was still laughing.
Zhao Wenmu and the other three people outside the stone house stared dumbfounded at the thick smoke that suddenly shot out from the house.
Xu Peng didn't move in the stone house for a long time. Zhao Wenmu originally thought that he was holding back some big move, but suddenly after a burst of crazy laughter, the stone house caught fire.
Damn it!
This guy turned out to be a fan!
So strong?!
Everything happened so suddenly that the people outside the house were caught off guard for a moment. However, before Zhao Wenmu, who was a little further away, Shi Hou made a move, Zheng Guangming waved for them to retreat.
Although they didn't know why, Zhao Wenmu and Shi Hou quickly retreated ten meters away in the direction they came from.
At this time, it is right to trust Zheng Guangming unconditionally.
In terms of military literacy, Zhao Wenmu and Shi Hou combined can't compare to Zheng Guangming's arm.
Zheng Guangming knew that Xu Peng had fallen into madness at this time, and there was no way to predict what he would do. Besides, there might be explosives and other powerful things inside, so it was definitely not a good idea to approach rashly.
No matter what conspiracy Xu Peng has in the room, just wait patiently.
Anyway, looking at the thick smoke, the people inside would definitely not be able to hold on for more than a few minutes.
Sure enough, just when Zheng Guangming was thinking this, there were bursts of coughing sounds in the stone house.
Xu Peng in the room was also confused at this moment.
It wasn't until the flames started to rise and his eyebrows were scorched that he woke up as if from a dream and suddenly realized that he was still in the room.
Subconsciously, I lifted my legs and put it on the bag. Who would have thought that instead of reducing the intensity of the fire, the contents inside the bag would fall out when the bag was kicked, further increasing the intensity of the fire.
One trouser leg was also set on fire.
Xu Peng grimaced in pain and slapped him frantically for a long time before finally extinguishing the dough on his body.
Only then did he realize that the room was filled with choking smoke, and nothing could be seen within a short distance.
Xu Peng suddenly panicked and rushed towards the door of the house in his mind without hesitation. However, in fact, what he was facing at this moment was actually the stove.
The whole person fell on the stove, and then fell on the burning bag...
Heart-rending shouts came from inside the house.
You don’t need to see it with your own eyes, the horrifying roar seems to be a sound that cannot be made by humans. Not far away, Shi Hou and Zhao Wenmu were moved.
Just when Shi Hou couldn't help but want to step forward to check or rescue him, he saw Zheng Guangming burst out of the bunker and quickly ran away from the stone house.
While Zheng Guangming was running, he did not forget to remind Zhao Wenmu, and Shi Hou quickly left.
Without thinking too much, the three of them hid further away in embarrassment.
"boom!"
Not long after, an explosion resounded throughout the valley.
Sure enough, Xu Peng put something very dangerous inside.
Seeing the stone house exploded to pieces, but Xu Peng never came out of it, Zhao Wenmu was also sighing.
"Let's go. It's not safe here. There may be things that haven't exploded yet."
Zheng Guangming waved his hand, signaling Zhao Wenmu and Shi Hou to follow.
Back in the county town, the three of them went their separate ways. Zhao Wenmu and Shi Hou returned home safely, while Zheng Guangming went to the municipal bureau to report the situation to Yang Yuping and Pang Qingyun.
The detectives will go to the stone house to eliminate possible dangerous items and confirm Xu Peng's life and death.
As for why Zheng Guangming knew where Xu Peng was hiding, there was only one sentence in the file to summarize it: "I was shocked to hear the huge explosion and thick smoke, and the enthusiastic people around reported it."
Xu Peng's case was characterized as suicide due to fear of crime.
This is indeed the case.
Although this was not his intention.
But, who cares?
Zhao Wenmu did not fulfill his promise of "I will support your wife". After all, Xu Peng had no children, and his wife remarried not long after.
The Yamen held a grand celebration meeting.
The common people and merchants spontaneously put up lanterns and streamers to celebrate the removal of the cancer.
"I never expected that this guy Xu Peng would do so many bad things!"
As the propaganda machine started, the crimes of Xu Peng and others came to light little by little, which not only shocked the entire Pingyang County, but also shocked the jaws of Qian Erniu, Zhao Wenyuan and others.
After all, we have been friends who have played together since childhood.
In the crayfish house, everyone was talking about it.
"You should also take this as a warning and never do anything illegal!"
