Chapter 1048

After the two stood still and smoked a few puffs, Wang An said with a serious face:

"Brother Dalin, today's matter, I guess Grandpa Sun and Grandpa Niu and the others have all told you. Your brother Niu Dabin and that boy named Da Hui were enemy spies sent by the Japanese."

Niu Dalin heard this and said with an indignant face:

"You say they are enemy spies, so they are enemy spies? That's my brother. Don't I know what he's like? You're a militia member, isn't it whatever you say?"

Wang An looked at Niu Dalin, whose eyes were full of fire, and couldn't help but feel a bit of a toothache.

The main thing was that this old boy simply didn't believe his brother was a spy, and Niu Dabin was dead, which gave a feeling of no evidence to prove it.

And Niu Dalin's meaning was very clear, which was saying, you're a militia member, so you're awesome, so it's whatever you say.

But Wang An at this time must make Niu Dalin believe that his own brother was an enemy spy. Otherwise, no matter what Wang An said, it would be impossible to make Niu Dalin let go of the hatred in his heart.

Consequently, Wang An organized his language again and began to talk nonsense:

"Brother Dalin, believe it or not, but this matter is indeed true. That boy named Da Hui has already confessed your brother's identity, and the piece of cloth I found on Da Hui also draws the military deployment of our DJ County and the surrounding counties."

Hearing these words, Niu Dalin's face suddenly turned pale, and even the hand holding the cigarette couldn't help but tremble.

Because of historical reasons, almost all Northeasterners are sensitive to war, and Niu Dabin's actions were undoubtedly a shame—not only the shame of the Niu family but even the shame of the entire Kaoshan Village.

Niu Dalin took a fierce puff of his cigarette, his voice trembling, or rather, a bit painful:

"Is Dabin really an enemy spy?"

After Niu Dalin finished asking, his two eyes stared fixedly at Wang An, as if he wanted to see a trace of hesitation or clues from Wang An's eyes to support Wang An's lying.

It was just that it was very clear that Niu Dalin actually believed Wang An's words in his heart; he just couldn't believe that his own brother was an enemy spy.

Seeing Niu Dalin's face change greatly, Wang An nodded and said with a firm tone:

"Brother Dalin, this matter has caused a big stir. I guess our village won't be able to settle down for a while, and people will constantly come to investigate this matter. By then, you will know whether what I said is true or not."

After a pause, Wang An continued:

"In a while, Team Leader Zhou will talk to you, and people who come later will also talk to you. Anyway, Brother Dalin, just say what you know. Otherwise, you might also..."

Although Wang An's words weren't finished, the meaning was very clear. As the brother of an enemy spy, the possibility of Niu Dalin not being investigated could be said to be almost non-existent.

And for matters like enemy spies, it was simply not something a county Public Security Bureau could handle. So while Zhang Shuya was investigating, she would definitely report it.

Niu Dalin heard this, put the cigarette into his mouth, and puffed fiercely. The whole cigarette turned into red cigarette ash at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Until the whole cigarette was finished, even burned to the filter, Niu Dalin was still puffing hard.

It must be said, he didn't even mind the heat.

Wang An saw this and handed Niu Dalin another cigarette. Niu Dalin took a look, used the previous cigarette to light it directly, and puffed fiercely again.

Until the cigarette was half-smoked, Niu Dalin's emotions gradually stabilized. At the very least, his hands weren't trembling so much.

Thinking for a while, Wang An said:

"Brother Dalin, no matter what, your brother was shot and killed by me. This matter is indeed my fault, but I am a militia member from the county now, and this is the work I do. In that situation, I had no choice. Brother Dalin, it's no problem for you to hate me."

After Wang An finished, Niu Dalin looked at Wang An, then looked at the coffin across the road, lowered his head, sighed long, and then said:

"Ever since Dabin's wife returned to the city, I felt Dabin was always not right. But, I was busy working every day, or I was hunting in the mountains, and I didn't have time to watch what he was busy with every day. Sigh!"

Wang An suddenly realized that what Wang Li said about Niu Dabin's wife having a problem might really be correct. Even if his wife didn't have a problem, his wife was very likely the inducement for Niu Dabin to become an enemy spy.

Wang An didn't know how to answer, so he moved his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Only heard Niu Dalin continue:

"To be honest, Xiao An, I don't hate you. I hate my brother. Why was he so ignorant? Why could he work for the Japanese? Sigh..."

For this kind of thing, Wang An couldn't interrupt even more. The main thing was that Niu Dabin was fucking dead, so saying anything was nonsense.

Fortunately, Niu Dalin no longer had hatred for Wang An, which made Wang An feel quite at ease.

One must know that although Niu Dalin wasn't a gunner, he was a serious old hand at mountain gathering. With such an old hunter staring at Wang An every day, thinking about how to finish Wang An off to avenge his brother, Wang An would also have to ponder how to finish him off without leaving a trace...

Oh my god, such days are truly not easy to bear.

The key is that Wang An is fine here, because with Wang An's skills and marksmanship, it's enough to deal with all emergencies.

But Wang Yi and the two younger sisters are all in school. In the event that Niu Dalin goes crazy and goes to settle accounts with Wang Yi and the two younger sisters, Wang An will definitely spend his whole life in regret.

Just as Wang An handed Niu Dalin another cigarette, Niu Dalin suddenly said:

"By the way, Xiao An, just last year, I even saw a radio station in his room. He thought I didn't know what it was and lied to me that it was a radio. Actually, I've seen it in movies."

It could be heard that Wang An's words worked, because Niu Dalin was thinking about actively confessing the problem.

Wang An heard this and couldn't help but feel a shock. The main thing was that this news was too important.

One must know that a radio station is not something ordinary people can understand. Consequently, Wang An hurriedly said:

"Brother Dalin, let's go find Team Leader Zhou now and tell him everything you know. No matter what, we have to clear you out of this matter. Otherwise, you won't have fewer troubles in the future."

Niu Dalin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Okay, it should be made clear. Dabin being able to walk to this step is actually my fault as an older brother for not managing him well."

As they spoke, Wang An and Niu Dalin walked into the village office together.

Wang An explained the situation to Team Leader Zhou. Team Leader Zhou also showed joy. If this kind of thing could be investigated clearly before the higher-ups came down, Team Leader Zhou would inevitably be credited.

Just like that, Niu Dalin was left in the room, and Wang An turned and came out.

The main thing was that Team Leader Zhou didn't know if he had received Zhang Shuya's order, but he didn't let Wang An listen in and chased Wang An out.

Thanks to "Emperor of the Great Empire" for the tip, thank you, thank you!

Thanks to "Black Brother Niu" for the tip, thank you, thank you!

Wishing the two big brothers, business prosperity throughout the four seas, and wealth flowing in from all three rivers!
